Cafeteria; Friday, Lunchtime [ 10/29 ].

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

Ariel had hopped down to the cafeteria for lunch because she was hungry and knew there was always plenty of food there, and couldn't help giggling a little as she filled her plate with offerings like Spooky Spaghetti, Dead Meatloaf, and Lady's Fingers Cookies.

"Gosh, you guys really went all out, didn't you?" she complimented the staff before helping herself to a little bit more Zombie Zucchini Bread before going to find a table.

Rilla frowned. "I'd never thought about that part."

"See, they might be making that part up," Ariel said. "I can't imagine mermaids wanting to kill sailors..."

Ariel thought for a second of all the derogatory terms her father had for humans.

"Er, well, not by singing at them, anyway..."

"It did seem like a rather roundabout way to kill someone," Rilla mused, "unless they were working in concert with sharks?"

"I don't think mermaids and sharks get along very well," Ariel offered to help it sound a little less like she knew from personal experience. "Sharks don't tend to get along well with anyone."

"They seem rather aloof," Rilla admitted. "I much prefer dolphins."

"Oh, me, too," Ariel couldn't help gushing with a fond, reminiscing smile. "I hear they love to play tag, and they're so clever, too."

"I saw a television show where one was playing with a ball," Rilla squealed. "It was the cutest ever."

Yes, Rilla was very fourteen.

And human.

"They are adorable," Ariel agreed, a little sad that she felt she couldn't really say much more without giving too much away. "There are a lot of really interesting sea creatures out there, after all, and you might be surprised about all the things they can do."
