Welcome back, everyone. Enjoy and review.
A Chat with Cleo
Finding the Juicy Bar busy, Lance walked over to the Oceanic Center. No doubt Cleo would be available to talk to. When he found her, she was standing in water, holding a net getting who knew what out. Clearing his throat, he said: "Hey, Cleo!"
Turning to look at him, Cleo waved and replied: "Hey, Lance! Are you okay? You kind of look like you saw a ghost."
"How about something that has me questioning whether or not I had ancestors with scaly skin and webbed hands and feet?"
Cleo stared in confusion before flatly asking: "What?"
Looking back and forth to make sure they were alone Lance gave a small sigh of relief. The last thing he needed was multiple people making calls to the mental hospital. Glad that it was just them, he uttered: "I saw a mermaid and it was Rikki. Rikki is a mermaid who, in theory, takes on mermaid form when in contact with water and if Rikki is a mermaid who takes on mermaid form when in contact with water, then that means my great-grandma actually was the descendant of a union between man and merrow, and descendants of such marriages are said to have scaly skin and webbing between their fingers and toes and now I am wondering, am I even sane? I keep looking at my arms, my hands and feet to check if my skin is scaly and my fingers and toes are webbed and they're not, but I saw Rikki as a mermaid. I know some strange things have happened here such as the Dolphin City Triangle and those floating orbs of water, but I don't know what to believe."
Cleo continued to stare. That was a lot to take in. "Lance, your skin is not scaly and you don't have webbing, but lets ask a question: If Rikki is a mermaid, what are you going to do?"
