[Video] There are WORSE songs to be stuck on loop [OTA]

[beancounter]

[The mirrors activate to show a very confused looking Fenton. There is some sort of soft-rock music playing in the background. It has a definite early-80s feel to it, for anyone who'd be familiar with that.]

Did someone's spell go awry? Can anyone else hear this music, or am I going crazy? I don't have anything in the apartment on, if anyone's wondering. It just started... playing, and has been playing for a few loops, now.

[To be honest, after the surprise had worn off, it was starting to drive him a little nuts. At least the music was relatively quiet.]

[Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....?!?!?! He hadn't expected the guy to understand, he barely did, but at the last bit there, Fenton went stiff, the feathers on the back of his neck standing on edge as a shudder went through his body. Did that guy just say what he THOUGHT he said?] YES, it would most likely make her sad. It would make ME sad! Don't EAT me!! What kind of a... a.... WHAT?!

[He shudders again, and gives his head a little shake.] Okay, I don't understand any of that, either. I mean, what's your name. What sort of a ... being are you? You're no human, or anything else I've seen here. And I'm Fenton! That's my name!

[The odd question did have the effect of cutting Fenton's music off sharply at least, only for a new, weird tune to take its place.]

[abys_keeper]

Alright. I won't. Don't be scared. [but he's amused] I'm Keeper. That's the name I decided because that's what I am and do. Names mean things. That's what I've learned.

[he did laugh at the song]

That's adorable! I'm a merjelly of the crushing deep. That's what I am.

'Don't be scared'. Easier said than done... You're HUGE. [Fenton muttered under his breath.]

Well... err... ah... welcome to the Kingdoms, then, Keeper. I trust you're... fitting in, well?

[He scratched the top of his head.] I've heard of mermaids, but never merjellies. Then again, there's a lot still unknown about the deep sea and all, so... [He shrugged helplessly.]

[abys_keeper]

I don't fit anywhere. But I can squeeze. The deep sea is a mystery but it's beautiful. Not as strange as this place is.

[beancounter]

Ahh... that's not QUITE what I meant... though I can see how you'd have trouble fitting into places, too. I meant are you adjusting to being here, in the Kingdoms?

[That did get a bit of a chuckle out of Fenton.] For us land-dwellers, I'd say the reverse is true. Most of us think the deep sea is a strange, unknown place.

[abys_keeper]

It's interesting. People like me and are tasty. It's not as lonely anymore. [so he liked that]

It is still a strange, unknown place. Not even the oldest of the Ancient Bloom knows everything about it. There are still deeps that even we can't go.
