Second week of June [closed to Nene]

[trialbyliar]

[Kokichi is bored, which is never good for anyone. Then again, maybe this particular instance could be considered thoughtful. It could really go either way with this guy.

Just after school, while clubs are getting started, one might spot a few random students walking by completely soaked. Huh. Odd. But hey, it's super hot lately, so maybe they were having a water fight or something to cool down?

In reality, Kokichi's set up a lil prank by the door to the stairwell. It's pretty much the basic "bucket of water on the door" trick, except better because he'd never be that basic. For one thing, the bucket in question is one of those big mop buckets on wheels. More water will just cool people down even more, right? And in addition, the moo bucket has been rigged to tip as the door opens and spill its load, but the bucket itself is fastened up there pretty securely. He doesn't actually wanna hurt anyone with a falling bucket, after all.

Anyway, he's just finished sopping up the evidence of his last victim and refilling the bucket. Now to hide and wait.]

( after the way things had gone at the start of the month- both the elections and certain discoveries- nene was hoping for something uneventful. and in a way, she was kind of getting it given how a certain ghost boy was keeping the vengeful imps far away from her.

not to mention she's just a happy-go-lucky kind of gal in general.

so despite having experienced a sudden splash of water from above, she really doesn't think that it'd happen a second time. why would it? it's only when she hears the bottom of the bucket hit the wall and the sound of water flowing that she realizes- too little too late, however, because she can't step out of the way in time. over the clacking clatter of pink scales bursting forth, one might be able to hear a cry of dismay- )

NOT AGAIN!

( only this time, it's far too much- and suddenly the world is so much bigger and she cannot breathe.

enjoy your new gold/beta? fish, kokichi, but don't expect answers just yet, because the impact of hitting the floor has knocked her right out. )

[trialbyliar]

[Y'know, he had anticipated several ways this could go once he saw his next victim approaching. Maybe Nene would get mad at him for once. Maybe she'd plan retaliation and they'd end up in a full scale prank war. Maybe she'd just giggle all cute and thank him for helping her cool down!

(No, probably not that last one.)

What he wasn't expecting, though, was for her to just...disappear. Water falling one second and then suddenly Nene was just gone. From his hiding spot, Kokichi blinks at the place where Nene had been standing a moment before. His eyebrows furrow, perplexed, and he carefully approaches the spot to investigate. And in the middle of the puddle of water is...

A fish.

......What the fuck???]

...Yashiro-chan?

[ uhhhhhh?????? fish??????? ]

[mermaidcursed]

( fish!!!!!!!!

thankfully, she's not knocked out for too long... but when she does manage to open her eyes, everything is still huge, and someone is nearby- hanako-kun? no- no, this wasn't... it was ouma-kun looming over her, utterly baffled.

well. fuck.

e-even then, though, it could be worse! the cats could be here! o-or komaeda-san could decide that fish was great for fueling hope! or- or- no, she needed to focus on the important thing: the reality of the situation. )

... This is the worst.

( yeah, that sure is her voice! ouma-kun might even hear her sighing- and it is definitely coming from the fish, kokichi- but... it. shouldn't be too long? since she's not still submerged.

she thinks. she needs to stop being unconscious for her kidnappings and stuff, jeeze- )

[trialbyliar]

[ he has so many questions

The baffled expression recedes into something more blank and impenetrable as he stares at the fish. The fish that is talking with Nene's voice. The options are either that Nene was vanished through some trick and a fish (potentially robotic or something) was left in her place and some trick was being used to make it sound like her, or. Well.

She just turned into a fish.

A slight frown crosses his face, and he pokes the fish. Just checking to see if it feels like a real fish.]

Huh.

[Yeah, those...sure do feel like real wet scales, and the weight doesn't seem off from what he'd expect of a fish.]

...Is Yashiro-chan gonna suffocate if I don't get some water real quick?

tfw the artist never shows the process of turning back and forth between fish and human smh

[mermaidcursed]

( she absolutely squeaks with a mix of surprise and indignance when he pokes her. )

A-Ah, no-- just, um, give me a bit...

( admittedly, breathing was. very difficult with only half her gills making contact with water, but she absolutely did not want to stay a fish and she also did not want people knowing they could keep her as a fish. it just wasn't good information to keep in the open! especially because it made her more portable than ever!

but with the heat of the month, and only one side of her was still making direct contact with the puddle... when kokichi blinks next, nene yashiro will be back to normal, laying somewhat in a daze on the floor.... with pale pink scales littering her arms, legs and face in patches. there's definitely more unseen, but that's a bit beside the point. eventually, she forces herself to sit up, but every shift that forces drier skin to contact the water comes with a soft clatter of more scales emerging. )

... I-If the water dries up enough I turn back.

( which does explain the shift, but not much else... she's really gonna make him ask for answers, huh? )

Re: tfw the artist never shows the process of turning back and forth between fish and human smh

[trialbyliar]

[.........huh.

Kokichi pokes her again, in the arm this time. Mostly just checking that she's real, but also kinda seeing if those scales are legit, too.]

That's one hell of a magic trick.

[It's dry, and his expression is hard to read. Flat enough that it almost seems unimpressed, but that's not quite it...]

[mermaidcursed]

( the scales are real- and they shift slightly under his touch, leaving a slight shimmery dust . it's not a comfortable feeling in the least, but she can't blame him for the curiosity. but with how he's staring... it's uncomfortable. like she's being analyzed... part of her wants to panic, but after natsume, and the incident with hajun, she's just tired. )

Not exactly the best for parties.

( but what is she supposed to do? he knows now. and if she tries to leave, where can she go? it's not like she could evade him forever. after a moment of quiet, trying to figure out what's going to happen next, nene stands up with a sigh, because... well. sitting in the water when it makes you grow scales is uncomfortable. )

... If you have questions... can we talk somewhere more private?
