Give it a Whirl
Who: Nixie and Ross
Where: The museum where he works
When: Early evening
I must be out of my mind, Nixie thought to herself as she leaned against a doorway, legs shaking with the effort that she had used to walk here. I don't even know what I'm looking for, she could be anywhere! Out my mind, letting her and that merman try and tell me that there's nothing wrong with being on land. Well there's plenty wrong! Like the legs, oh, Nixie could go on for days about all the reasons why legs were more trouble than they were worth. Not to mention the clothes that she had needed to pull on so that she wasn't stared at more than she knew she would be. They didn't even fit right, belonging to her sister like they did, but Charlene never had to know that she had borrowed them. Unless she found her, of course, then she'd see it for herself. But Nixie was beginning to doubt that that would happen.
Where am I even? the mermaid wondered, looking up at the building she was leaning against. Her eyes narrowed briefly, then widened at what they saw. A museum! That was where humans took artifacts and other important things so that people could look at them. Half the reason why I can't find things in the shallow seas, damnable humans taking them. Pushing herself off the wall, and wobbling slightly, Nixie slipped in through the door as a woman and a small human came out. It was nothing at all like she had expected a human building to be, having a rough idea (or so she thought) from what she had seen of their ships... but wow, there were so many directions to choose from. Looking at a large, raised thing she saw that it labeled each area according to what was there. Guess that makes sense. Nixie studied it for a moment before turning and heading towards what she thought would be the area where the art was.
