Swimming With the Fishes, Tuesday, period 1

Duke looked at the equipment provided for today's class. He looked up at the sky.

"Why do these things always happen to me?"

There was no answer forthcoming.

"Right," he said when the students gathered for class. He had a fairly permanent case of facepalm going on. "Today we're going to learn to swim using a monofin." The equipment provided was rather more than just the fins. Duke side-eyed it again and heaved a deep sigh. "Aka . . . mermaid swimming."

God dammit.

"Please don't mind the giant fucking crabs under the water. They probably won't bother you. As far as I can tell, they're too busy with those bongos to worry much about us."

As if Astrid's newfound fascination with the idea of becoming a Zora wasn't enough, she could now apparently add being a mermaid to the idle fantasies.

Although, she thought, as she swam around a little bit but mostly just floated on her back with the weight of the monofin keeping her in place almost like an anchor, a siren would be more accurate. She'd stake a claim on some rock off the coast of Mexico, singing sailors and cruise-goers to their water dooms. She'd work a deal out with the king crabs scuttling below, they could have the bodies, but save for her their hearts...

...you know. Normal, swimming around in a monofin kinds of thoughts....

Stark was trying his best to swim with his tail on. There was a lot of splashing. Maybe more than was strictly necessary.

I went to mermaid school once with [personal profile] firstofitskind. It was great.
