[Dictated and backdated to earlier today; in the background you can hear what sounds like water that's from the pool. Kinda weird huh? Well that's because someone woke up with a green fishtail while in the pool. Currently he's just hanging on the edge and talking into the journal. After the initial shock wore off, he is now just griping]

Okay what's going on with the castle now? Because this? This is just stupid. Absurdly stupid.

[....]

This better not last a week, come on! I am not sitting in a pool for a week! If you're going to do this to me, at least give me an interesting place to go!

Seriously, why does this place smell so funny? What do you people do to water, anyway?

[And so on and so on. Aren't you glad he's probably not your princess?]

[Editted in a bit later into the post; and filtered AWAY from Once-ler]

Hey, does anyone know any stories about fish people? Sakura wants to know.

[OOC: open or over the journal!]

[That's good enough for him then.]

I haven't the faintest idea as to why, though I would think it was connected in some fashion to the others who woke up presently dressed in attire not their own.

[wilder]

Annnd what kinda fashions is that? I can't really look through the journal without it getting soaked.

[unnaturalpause]

Unusual dresses, men wearing things they normally would not same as women. [...]

[wilder]

Oh.

That's not vague at all! Thanks dude! ♥

[unnaturalpause]

Would it help you to understand it if I were to inform you that merfolk are seen as mermaids mostly in common literature, and that I know a few women who are wearing men's clothing today?

[wilder]

Okay, so cross dressing?

But what kind of clothing? There's a lot of different fashion statements- each with a lot to say! Is it Earth clothes, other world clothes...?

[unnaturalpause]

More of the type seen in a medieval setting, except more elaborate than what would be seen then. At least from what I have seen and been told.

[wilder]

Over-exaggerated medieval huh...?

So kinda like storybook stuff or something? [Guess Sakura was onto something with the story thing]

[unnaturalpause]

Yes storybook like things are the best descriptor for this.

[wilder]

Ahahaha, now we're getting somewhere!

So what's the usual story with mermaids with just fishtails?

[unnaturalpause]

They are usually female, have beautiful singing voices and then lose them in order to gain legs and marry their prince.

[wilder]

[...............]

That's it? They trade their voices for legs to marry?

[encourage]

Can you be more explicit?

[unnaturalpause]

[What is keeping his bro's secret?]

Nikola in a pretty princess dress in Maladict's words. [That explicit enough for you?]

[encourage]

I'm sure he looks great.

[ LMF STRANGELY THAT WAS HER ATTEMPTING POLITENESS... ]

Did she notice if it had any correlation to a story she's heard before?

[unnaturalpause]

I wouldn't know I haven't see him yet.

[LMAO better then what he and Nikola got into when James found out.]

And this is Maladict, Sakura. The woman who comes from a world shaped like a disc, with beings that carry bags of body parts, and thinks Seamstresses are ladies of the night.

[encourage]

Seamstresses? Right, I hear you, her stories aren't necessarily the ones that could explain this current event. What about focusing on Earth? Earth is behind most of what goes down here.
