( 14 ) Day of Kelfes [voice/action]

[Walter has migrated away from the soon-to-be construction site near the west lake, journeying closer to the village and the smaller lake south of it.]

It's just one day. ...It should be fine.

[There's an splash as Walter enters the water, and although you (probably) can't see it, he's performing the Kelfes dance. This is followed by resounding flute music that can be heard over a great distance.]

Merman then. I just came to see what the music was about.
blackteriques: (Determined)

I am a person of the water -- the "merpeople" is just another of those myths to try to explain my people ... in my world, at least.

[grumbles quietly, wondering if he's somehow drawing in an audience] It's music. People play music, right?

So you don't have fins or anything like that then?

I know that. Just haven't heard anyone play it underwater. It sounded nice so I came to listen.
blackteriques: (Looking elsewhere)

I look exactly like a human, except for my hair. No fins, no gills, nothing like that. [trying to be patient]

Hmph... I see.

Your hair? *looks at it* I don't see anything special about it. It looks human too.
blackteriques: (Arms crossed)

Maybe to someone from another world. Only Ferines have blond hair in my world. It makes it obvious who to kill.
blackteriques: (Disgruntled disarray)

[humorless smile] We're killed and tortured by land dwellers -- like you humans -- because we're different, because they think we're monsters.

So do be aware I'm not fond of humans in general.

...monsters? *looks quite sad for a moment*

You have valid reason to dislike humans then. I'm sorry if I've disturbed you. *turns to leave*
blackteriques: (Aloof)

[calls after her] Most decide to lecture rather than agree with me.

*stops and looks over her shoulder* Lecture? But you do have a very good reason to hate humans.
blackteriques: (Wayward glance)

They spout about equality, peace, and how my discrimination is without merit. So hearing a human not combating is ... surprising.

...I see. I suppose in a way you are wrong to hate all humans just because of what a few did. But if I were in your position, I would hate them too. They killed your people without reason.

They are the monsters.
