10th Anomaly . Selkies far from home

[ spam ]

[ On the first day of the flood, Stephen wakes up knowing that his skin is near.

It's been stolen for a long time. Ever since he slipped out of the ocean, curious and angry about the creatures that spilled their chemicals into the water and stole away the food. Ever since he came back to find his hide gone, and a smirking woman named Helen waiting for him.

He hasn't taken the form of a seal in a long time. He misses the sea in his bones. He misses it always. Nick, at least, has alleviated that for the last decade. And now he's here, in this mysterious boat, and he knows, knows that his skin is near.

He rises and goes out to search for it.

Unbeknownst to him, the sealskin is in a little heap on the deck. Anyone who takes it can command Stephen; he brings with him blessings, like luck and insight, and sometimes he can grant minor wishes. Feel free to run into him searching, to find the skin, to do with it what you will. ]

My skin is here. I can feel it.

Give it back.

[ All that can be seen is what appears to be the skins of a wolf. The wearer not visible. He doesn't have the seal skin, nor does he really know what skin the guy is referring to. But he doesn't care. He smells a perfect trick. ]

And what are you willing to do to get it back, little creature?

Oh! Oh! Finally, somebody that turned into something that isn't a load of bollocks!

[ We're so very sorry, Stephen, but Vex is grinning like the cat who got the cream. Or the dark Fae who got the selkie skin. ]

An' what will you offer for your skin, poppet? Maybe say your sorry for ringing Vex's bell, eh?
vexingmesmer: (Listen to uncle Vexy now...)

[ Vex just tosses the thing over his shoulder, letting it lay, luxuriant, against the leather he already wears. ]

Tsk.

I hear you can steal a selkie's power if you seal yourself in his skin. Take his shape. Take his life an' soul. Issit true, petal?
vexingmesmer: (i don't buy it)

So you're saying that I shouldn't rub it all over my body an' get my stink on it?

[ His troll level is over 9000. ]
400yearsofsurvival: (Gonna get you)

That is not what I asked. You must give if you want to get. Speak, little creature. What will you do to save your skin?
vexingmesmer: (Now hold on a minute)

Say please.
darknessb4me: (right ok)

[personal profile] darknessb4me 2014-09-08 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
No.

It's your skin. Isn't it attached?
400yearsofsurvival: (Please.)

We have to find it, little creature.

Mmm... but if I lean over just so-- [ Vex has a number of candles in his room ] I might.... singe it a bit, eh?

[ He's so careful not to actually do so, but oh, does he want to panic Stephen. ]

Neither am I, but my skin still keeps my blood in.

I know where it is. And you can't get it on your own.

[ He said it in almost a sing-song, taunting voice. ]
