Mermay!
Time for mermaids, sirens and other water creatures! Comment with your merfolk characters, or make your very own AU. Splash around in the waters or try to drown someone. I'm not judging.
IDEAS
Merfolk
Longing to see the surface and all it offers?
Trapped in a net! Are you facing your kidnappers or a savior?
Long travels with your pod, to explore new waters?
Hurt or sick, and taken to a mer facility to be healed - but they actually nice, or will the experiment on you?
Taken from your pod, you've ended up as a sideshow, a circus act or any other form of entertainment.
It's mating season! Try to impress your future mate, even if you might come from different worlds!
Humans
Is that an actual mermaid???
Fallen into the water and saved by a person with fins!
Lured to the waters by siren songs, you're risking an early death by drowning...
How do you kiss? Is it going to be wet and salty?
Finding an injured merfolk, and dragging them home to your bathtub to heal?
A little merfolk child needs your help to find their guardian. Hopefully they won't get the wrong idea.
You really want to be a mermaid, too. Is there any way your new friend can help?

A beat.
“…okay, maybe not right here.” He gestures around the shore where he’s still half in the water. “I’ll probably be a bit further up at the campsite. B-But I’ll come back down when you come back.”

"If this works I'll come to you I promise," Orym says, "if I'm not back by dawn and the sending stone seems dead then assume it didn't work and go on without me. But I really hope it works because I really want it to."
There is a splash as Orym swims away. It takes him most of the night but he reaches Morri and her granddaughter and makes a deal for legs. He has to agree to win the heart of a true prince or serve Morri and never return home again. He is so eager to travel with Dorian he agrees without really understanding much of what he agreed to. But as he steps on land and wobbles a bit as he figures out how to walk towards the campsite. Morri and Ferne had given him new armor and a shield and sword. It wasn't much but Orym was eager to see what the land had to offer.
A three foot tall halfling appears at the campsite wearing green armor and carrying an ivy covered shield and matching sword.
"Hey."

But when a figure with a familiar face turns up at the campsite, his smile brightens again as his heart skips a beat.
“Hi…!”

Orym feels awkward as he walks up to Dorian and tries to figure out what to say next "I made it good...I was worried I wouldn't."

Orym sits down unsure of what to do with his hand or new feet. "So uh....what do you like to do while traveling...I have no idea where to start...I've never been this close to other landwalkers before."

Thinking for a moment, he sighs. “I also usually like to play music, see what inspires me, but…”
But his lute had been lost when the ship went down, and his flute was currently drying. He just hopes it wasn’t too damaged and he would still be able to play it.

"Oh are you...what did Keyleth call them," Orym thinks quietly, "a bard I think she said. One of the people she met when she landwalked was a bard and really liked playing music."

Orym nods. "That's right," he says, "I guess I'd be a sell sword I think Keyleth called them....back home I'm one of her guards so I'm sure I can find the same kind of work here when we need coin....that's what it's called right coin?"
