[Anytime that they're together the world feels so much righter.

Taako makes a move for her cheek and Lup playfully bats his hand away, her tail unfurling from around his own so that she can swim just out of reach. She twists through the water with ease, shooting a sharp, teasing grin over her bare shoulder at her twin. The woman gives an exaggerated roll of her head, but can't do a damn thing to hide her smile. She can't help it. She loves the doofus.]


Ugh, you're so boring. I mean, I admire your whole dedication and shit, but c'mon, let's go fuckin' flip some boats or drag some idiots down with us. Gotta be more to life than flippin' your hair and batting your eyes at any dude in tight pants who sails on by.

Let's wreck shit!

[Her fingers, webbed and so slick in the water, twine through his with ease, love lingering in the squeeze of her palm against his. Taako comes close and Lup's already tugging him along with her, headed to the north, further out into the sea, away from the shore. With their sleek fins, those powerful fins made for fast travel through rough ocean, the two glide with ease against the waves, long hair streaming out behind them.]

Saw a huge fuckin' boat full of nerds headed out this way. Wanna see how many we can get jumpin' in with us?

Fuckin' fair point. Though it's funnier to watch them try to swim when they're trashed out of their minds. They either just sink right away or thrash around like idiots before going under. Either way, they put on a good show.

[It's still some distance ahead of them, but with their powerful tails, the twins catch up to the ship that Lup spotted earlier, the vessel a little too shiny and new to be strictly for fishermen's use. And sure enough, on board there are a few familiar looking fishermen, skin raw and red from hours spent out at sea, but there are one or two shorter figures aboard as well, draped in long, white coats, gesturing excitedly to one another as the ship cuts through the water towards it's destination.

Once the ship's within distance, the twins halt their movement, watching from a safe enough distance to peer up out of the water and plan.]


See? They've got nerds. I told you.

Oh, hell yeah.

[Sure, messing with humans never gets old, but commandeering their ship? Now that's a much much better game.

The look Lup shoots her brother no doubt matches his own exactly, lips curled into a perfectly beautiful but wicked grin, thrill lighting up in her eyes. This is going to be so good.]


Wanna each take a side and count off how many we rack up jumping off? I'm aiming for at least ten on my side.

[Lup watches her twin twist excitedly in the water, already getting revved up for this game. For as much as she teases him, she knows how cunning Taako is. Clearly, he's already working at a plan to beat her. She'll just have to work harder.]

Alright, fair. That just means I'll whoop your ass twice over.

[And before she has a chance to call dibs on the port side, her brother calls it and zips away, already gaining the attention of the men onboard. Lup shifts her attention to other side of the boat, slipping up to the surface, to where her thick tail can be seen splashing up above the water, just a preview of what's to come.]
restinglichface: like a magical pervert, right? (you guys would tell me if i looked)

[There's other yells now too, less surprised and more like authoritative commands cutting through the air, but Lup's far to focused on outdoing her brother to notice the shift in the human's attitude onboard the ship. She hears their calls and assumes Taako is trying to dazzle them with his beauty, likely shaking out his long hair and wiggling around beneath the surface at the perfect angle for the sunlight to bounce off of his glittering scales.

What a friggin' show off.

Lup's tactic is a little different, she slides right up against the side of the boat, right up beneath where one man is currently peering over, and winks up at him while he jumps at the sudden sight of her, yelling. She pushes herself off of the ship's side at that commotion, doing a backflip back beneath the surface, before she reappears just beneath another man, her grin sharp and curling while she raises a hand to beckon him in with her.

But the man she tries to capture is so much more prepared for the mermaid's presence than Lup gives any of the humans aboard credit for. Instead of leaping in after her, he throws a net.]

[Oh, she hears him. There's just not much that she can do about his warnings.

Before she can even wind up to shoot away from the boat, to put as much distance as possible between her and the humans aboard, Lup feels the net close in tight around her, tail twisted up tight around her body, losing the only leverage she has in freeing herself. Without the use of her powerful tail, all she can do is wiggle and squirm, flailing uselessly from side to side in the hopes of catching someone onboard off guard and getting him to drop his end of the net.

But despite her efforts, the mer can feel herself being pulled closer to the boat, inching towards the surface. So she does the only thing she can think of.]


Go! I'm right behind you, Taako, just go!

[It's a promise she intends to keep. Even if she doesn't know how, she'll get free and catch up to him in no time. As long as her brother isn't trapped, she can bust out and get back to him.]

[That's one lesson they should have actually listened to.]

No no no - Taako, go!

[His hands find Lup's, gripping her tightly and just refusing to let go, but the mer pulls back, further into the net, not wanting to risk her twin getting tangled up and dragged to shore with her. She can escape, Lup's so sure of herself, but just the thought of Taako getting caught by these humans makes her throat go tight, tail twisting in anguish from where she's bent in the net.

No matter what, she can't let that happen. She just can't.]


It's this - this fucking net! [No matter what tooth or claw attempts to rip through it, the net's thick loops seem too strong for her, reinforced exactly for this kind of difficult catch, against the kind of creature that most definitely doesn't want to be caught. Lup flails, her body in constant motion there beneath the waves, fighting as hard as she can against this, but just as she's reaching to chomp down on the net, the whole thing lurches upwards through the water towards the surface.]

[For as long as mermaids live, it shouldn't be too surprising that there are a few details of her life that Lup doesn't remember.

She doesn't remember the faces or the names of her parents, the mers who left their twin children behind long before ever forming any real bond with them. She doesn't fully remember those early years of just the two of them on their own, out alone in the ocean together, just learning to survive. She doesn't remember her first words or her first fish or even what her own birthday is.

But Lup remembers Taako, remembers every moment the two have spent together, how every single second of her life has ticked by while he's been right there at her side.

Until now. Until now when she sees her twin slip away just out of sight beneath the boat, his long, bright fin twisting once, then twice before disappearing completely. Something unfamiliar weighs down heavily within her belly at the sight, something sharp that twists until she feels like she's going to be sick.

Is this last moment they'll have spent together? Will the last words she ever hear her brother speak be drowned out in sheer panic, his hurt forever echoing in her mind?

Taako disappears and Lup fights, she doesn't give in, she can't when he's relying on her, but the men aboard the vessel heft her net straight out of the water with ease. Out of water, tangled up in a net with her tail pinned painfully to her chest, there's just nothing left for the mer to do but shriek at the men, hissing and wriggling, never giving them a second of relief.]

[Taako slips away, darting through the water with a speed that comes from a lifetime spent chasing one another through these waves, while Lup flops aboard the ship, shrieking between every gasping breath, flailing against the net that binds her. But with each struggle, she just gets more and more tangled, movement restricted more with every twist of her lanky frame.

While Lup distracts the men onboard, Taako has the time to stage an attack beneath the ship. But the vessel they are on is so much stronger than the ones the twins are used to messing with. Most of them are made of cheap aluminum, easily punctured and wrecked. But this one is an expensive research ship, the kind that's had thousands dumped into it to make sure that it doesn't sink under any circumstances. The hull is all steel, heavy and seemingly untouched beneath the mer's attacks.

And then there's shouts above the water, men readying up to sail back to shore, throwing out commands to take off.]

[They've spent a lifetime together getting out of danger, of slipping away just in the nick of time from human sight, of outwitting sharks and fishing vessels and sea monsters with a laugh while they flip away through the water. And after decades of always getting away, it just makes sense that one of these times they'd have to finally lose.

No one's that lucky.

The last thing that Lup hears before passing out is her brother shrieking after her, his shrill voice echoing in her ears as she finally flops limply down against the deck of the boat, vision blurring before she's just gone.

As for Taako? It would be impossible for the men aboard to not hear his screaming, to not see that the mer they've caught is passed out lifelessly on the deck and yet there's still another's shrill voice ringing through the air right beside them. But the ship's turning fast, the waves around them rougher than before, and it's right at the peak of his scream that the hull of the ship smashes hard into the mer's head, cutting him off.]
