It has been rough lately in Angel’s life. His mother has fallen ill, hospitalized. As for his father, he has already unfortunately passed away. A collision involving road rage and some bad drivers... It was absolutely awful. Had the medics at the scene not shown him which person his father was, he wouldn’t have even recognized him..!
Life has just been so... So trashy lately. It’s like his only sorce of happiness now is literal water - the ocean. The cool breeze against his face and the water against his fingertips just brings him a sense of peace in his times of sadness. You, a curious little merman/mermaid might just be added to the list of things he gains happiness from... Who knows!

You are a mermaid/merman! You’re more curious than a toddler who still believes in Santa Claus. You love learning about the human world, the drastically different customs they have interesting you a bunch. You have a turtle friend by the name of Shelly who apparently knows about everything from the human world. Your gullibility makes you believe every single word from her mouth!
Forks are hairbrushes, floaty toys forgotten by little kids are spy cameras/monitors used to spy on his kind, (those get put into his bin of dangerous human world items) and jewelry is just jewelry! Over the past few weeks, you have been noticing the same guy (Angel) at the docks. All he does is sit there and stare at the ocean for a while. Then he leaves. While you are curious about human life, you are still scared to approach anybody!
But something about this specific man is just special... He seems trustable... Safe. You can’t help but feel tempted to swim up to him... Maybe you’ll find the courage one day!
Angel: 6’2, 23, pansexual
You: Be creative!
