March Mingle

[kollomods]

There have been waterlilies throughout summer, clustered around the shorelines and butting up against the jetty. Sometimes they've bloomed, sometimes they haven't, but it's never been quite like this. They're everywhere now, even as we move into autumn. They crowd the beach, they give the ferry a hard time to land, they practically fill the lake end to end — and they're all blooming in golden yellow and bright white.

It's unnatural, in so many ways. Beckoning. Come closer. ]

“What sort of things might people want from you?” So many red flags at those statements. Yeah he’s smart enough to assume there is a reason people are afraid, and a cost for those wishes. This can’t all be relaxing swims in lily pads or pretty flowers.

"Oh, many things!" He exclaims with growing excitement. It really has been awhile since he had a visitor. "Whatever you could wish for, I could get it done... for a price."

Usually it's stuff like being really good at the violin. Okay, almost always it's being really good at the violin but he's sure he could apply that particular power to literally anything else a person could ask for.

To be honest he doesn’t particularly care about learning the violin so maybe best not to elaborate on that. “I’m afraid there isn’t much I can think to wish for at the moment.” Well, complicated solutions to souls and immortality and that sort of thing. But they have a plan, more or less so it’s not worth whatever the consequences of a wish would be.

"My my... all content? That's unexpected."

He looks Ianto over thoughtfully, head cocked to the side.

"Then why did you come out here? To this island of the malcontents?"

[readystopwatch]

That question shouldn’t catch him off guard but it does. Everyone does seem to have a reason for being here after all, something they’re running from. At least in his case he knows what it is and how to achieve it on his own.

“Vacation,” He replies blandly, in that was of his that clearly means there’s something under the surface. “Fresh air, that sort of thing.”

[norrhamn_residents]

Yeah, he's not buying that excuse for a second and he isn't shy about showing how little he thinks of it. A full on eyeroll from a cryptid, good job.

"Well, you've come to the right place. Can't find fresher air this side of the polar circle."

[readystopwatch]

“Yes, I couldn’t agree more. If it’s all the same to you I think I may go enjoy a bit more of it now.” Polite as always but he can’t help but feel maybe this is a good time to step back and get away from this creature, even if he isn’t immediately aggressive or dangerous. He still makes Ianto uneasy.

[norrhamn_residents]

"Very well." He smiles, thin and slippery like a snake, before sinking back into the water.

"Don't be a stranger."
