Oh Ocean Where Art Thou?

Date & Time: future!dated to September 6th
Location: Oulands/seashore
Characters: Aileen, Corosa
Summary: On a trek to see Exsilium's ocean, a mermaid runs into a hungry one-armed hobo. Friendship ensues!?
Warnings: ...mutant deer?


Aileen tried hard to ignore it, that quiet wonder. She'd seen the water here already, from the faucets and rain, and that had been cause for worry.
Pollution; chemicals to combat toxins and bacteria. Of course back home the water had been treated too, but there was something very wrong when she let it flow over her fingers. Slowly, her wonder tinged with fear. There was no life in this water, and, perhaps that was only because she could sense no magic here, but that nagging thought came and rolled away again in waves.

Her mind was made up. One early morning, she gathered together a bag of food for the day and set out past the city limits. If the ocean was in a bad sort, she was more qualified than anyone to put it right again. Just her touch cleansed water of grim and poisons, and a little shore clean-up would set her mind at ease.

With this thought in mind, she pushed onward down the road; pace slow. The last thing she needed was for her legs to act up out in the middle of nowhere.
