[Fourth]

Jormungandr has been very seriously considering murdering all the drones at his job and burning down the building. He just doesn't see the point in all the paper that does nothing but have words that are meaningless but all the drones act like it's the most important thing in the world. They don't seem to understand that in a thousand years no one will care. It will not matter. It has never mattered. Ever.

But Jormungandr is nothing if not patient, and so he controls his irritation by exploring the town. He's found three bodies of water: the pond in the park, the lake, and the pool. He's been spending a lot of time at the pond and the lake just standing and staring.

Today, in fact, he can be found at the lake, or rather, in the lake, his shoes and socks carefully placed on the shore. He's standing a little ways away from the shore, the water coming up to his thighs... and he's still wearing his pants. He seems to not even notice or care that the pants are now soaked. No, instead he's staring out at the water, and quite possibly contemplating submerging himself under the water.

Feel free to bother him, but he may not be particularly... appreciative.

[Crowe often comes to the lake to fish. He's not usually worried about actually catching anything, it's more for relaxation than anything. He's a little surprised to find a guy just standing there though.]

O-Oh. Ah. I'm not... intruding, am I...?
ooeeooahah: (Hm)

[ Ilsa is dressed for the office, though she does not work in the same building as Jormungandr. ]

[ She sits on a bench a few yards away, watching him, but not in a hostile way. Her attitude is more like that of a lifeguard, but one that knows everyone present can swim. ]

[Crowe gives him a curious look, then sits down with the small tackle box and pole.]

Ah, if you're sure, yeah? Not like I plan to actually find any good fish in here...
ooeeooahah: (Hm)

It's not big enough, is it?

[ The quiet comment is pitched just loud enough to reach him. She remembers another beach, another time. ]

[Hey look! Mart approaches while Jor is trying to enjoy that lake water.]

Hey!

Silent guy!

Whatsup.

[Just going to think that's welcoming]

Man, I didn't even know we had a lake!

Finally, somewhere cool to swim.

Holy shit you can talk!

So, uh, can you tell me who you actually are?

Jormungandr... that seems familiar...

[Mart does some pondering and...]

Hey! Are you a son of Leviathan too?

We could be family!
ooeeooahah: (Hm)

It's all wrong.

[ She shifts on the bench, ] But is there anything that will help?

[identity profile] jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you sure?

My dad said through history he or his kin were famous sea monsters and serpents and stuff...

We could even be brothers!
ooeeooahah: (Reflection)

[ She nods, remembering his confusion when they first met, and his attitude whenever he has to be downtown. ]

Being human, as well as being away from your... [ She almost says "right place", but that feels wrong. ] ...habitual place tends to cause stress.

[ She falls silent, as if waiting for his capacity for more information to renew. ]
ooeeooahah: (Hm)

((OOC: She doesn't know or have any specific clues, but his actions lead her to think he used to be something other than human. Her guess is mersapiens, from his speech and the fact that he's communing with the pond. ))

[ She waits a few more moments before speaking again. ]

We will get out. I have to believe in that.
ooeeooahah: (Thinking)

[ She reads his pause as the response of someone who is dead in their home plane. There's a few of those around town. ]

I'm hoping that "out" can be flexible... if someone was pulled out of a bad situation, that they might be able to leave here for somewhere else.

[ Staring at the horizon, thinking about how to relocate refugees to her plane. ]
