Xion

[recidivated]

[Xion's sort of just. floating around in her tank. she initially thought this job was going to be fun, but... really? she has just as much of a clue as to what she's doing here as her fellow coworkers...

which means none at all, really. so whenever she's not awkwardly swishing her tail back and forth in what she assumes to be some kind of mermaid dance, she's just sort of picking at the seashells lining the bottom of her tank, trying to figure out which ones she can get away with stealing.

also for people who aren't her friends, she has some weird sort of seaweed veil over her face. DEAL WITH IT.]

[recidivated]

Did you know about me and Naminé working here beforehand, or...?

[gravity_splode]

Nnnnnnope. I just got lucky.

[recidivated]

I...see.

[...awkwardly floats around, sob]

[gravity_splode]

I gotta wonder though... did you know what you were getting yourself into here?

[recidivated]

I thought being a mermaid would be an interesting job, but I didn't think it would be something like... this.

[gravity_splode]

I guess you're just gonna have to deal with it, then. I mean, it's just for a month, right?

[recidivated]

Yeah. I'm not too worried about it for that reason...

[gravity_splode]

Glad to hear it.

[So this guy that looks like a knockoff Nobody with the hooded coat and an orange armband has been going around to all the tanks doing something.]

[And now he is stopping at this one to tap on the glass. Answer?]

[recidivated]

[Xion can't help but raise a suspicious eyebrow to that-not that Minato can see her do so, but still. any shady-looking figure sets off her warning bells, and the fact that she can't exactly do anything to protect herself is not a good one. she turns to him, hiding most of her apprehension... but some of it still manages to sneak past.]

Um, yes...?

[apathetic_seal]

[He really should have thought the outfit through a little better when choosing it. Not helping comfort the people he's trying to do things for.]

I'm just here to help. You got a bad job, I'm here to make it a bit better.

[He opens his coat to reveal a number of sleeveless wetsuit jackets. not much, but it was probably better than what they were wearing now.]

[recidivated]

[well, that's not a voice she recognizes... still, she looks up a little at him once he opens the jacket. that seems harmless enough.]

Er... thank you for the offer, but... I don't know if I'd be allowed to wear it.

[apathetic_seal]

Well, maybe not now, but there's going to be a memo passed around soon. Big fetish coming around for these jackets. The refugee workers are trying it out to see how it works.

[This is all, of course, complete fabrication. He produces a small typed document momentarily, the "memo" in question.]

I'll just leave it in the office somewhere before getting these out to you.

[recidivated]

Fetish?

[she wants to ask, but for some reason she feels this is... not exactly the right place to. (or if there's even a correct moment to ask.) so she just brushes it off.]

... Thank you for helping us out.

[apathetic_seal]

Sorry. When you're dealing with people like these you have to use their language if you want to be believed.

Can't guarantee anything if I get caught, but doesn't hurt to try.
