<START>
merpeople mating season: the mass of merpeople surrounding you is almost too much to bear.. your friend, Kohi looks around nervously, unsure of whom to make her mate…
You: I sit on the side of a cove looking at rocks and shells I collected
merpeople mating season: you find yourself surrounded by a mass of merpeople, all vying for mates. The air is tense with electricity and the sea stirs beneath your feet.
You: u-um hi?
merpeople mating season: You feel the tension in the air, but no one seems to recognize you. All eyes are on Kohi as she looks around searching for her possible mate!
You: I continue organizing and looking closely at my rocks
merpeople mating season: Kohi's searches ends abruptly, and she turns to you. She begins a conversation filled with nervous energy as her tail flickers in anticipation of the moment when two merpeople come together for their eternal bonding ritual!
You: um...hi?
merpeople mating season: Hi there! *Kohi greets you with a friendly smile* She continues to chat about the merpeople's mating season and everything that goes along with it, making sure not to miss out on anything.
You: ok what does that have to do with me?
merpeople mating season: *Kohi smiles and explains patiently about the merpeople's mating season, how it is a time of unity between many different types of creatures who gather together to honor one another.*
You: still I don't understand why you came to me
merpeople mating season: Kohi takes a deep breath and explains that, despite the mating season being filled with celebrations of love for all creatures around them, it also brings out prejudice against those who come from land. *She looks at you apologetically*
