i t was time for maintenance. Lucia's skin was starting to lose its usual firmness and elasticity, as she had been quite busy running around delivering mail (and er, getting lost) the past few days. But enough was enough! She couldn't afford to have herself getting icky and drying out like seaweed on the shore. As such, she strode with purpose towards the water. She had even started her mail route a few hours early to assure that she could get down here by noon. While Lucia thought of it as 'maintenance', it was really the opposite. Some Merfolk back home found it bothersome to have regular contact with water, but she loved it. Water was simply the best. Even if she didn't have a biological need to frequently contact it, she'd still want to. Needing to be in contact with it was really just a great excuse for her to bum around the beach and go for a nice, long, relaxing swim. Soon, the mermaid's happy but purposeful stride brought her to the water's edge. Smiling widely, she gazed out upon the beautiful ocean before her. The sun was high in the sky, sitting in its own cloudless sea of bright blue. Its rays made the water glimmer and glisten - it was beckoning her. No more time for waiting! She's a-callin' me, she thought gleefully. Taking in a deep breath of the crisp, salty air, Lucia pulled off her loose white t-shirt. She then stripped herself of her green shorts, letting them fall into the warm sand at her feet. Of course, Lucia wasn't left naked - even at home she'd get in trouble for that! The redhead was left standing in a simple black bikini. Ideally, she would go in nothing, but... well, not in the middle of the day. She liked the feeling of the water against her skin, and wanted to feel it on as much of her body as possible - but this was good enough. Lucia, wasting no more time, tightened her ponytail before walking further towards the water. She took a few steps into it, enough so that it lapped at her toes, and then picked up speed. At first, a scaly pattern appeared on her skin. As Lucia went further and as more of her legs became submerged into the water, her body changed. Fins seemed to sprout from her toes, growing until they reached their full size. At the same time, the pattern on her legs changed into actual scales, spreading rapidly the further she went until she had a full tail from her hips down. Lucia, by this point, was swimming happily only a short distance from the shore. With her whole body in the ocean, she felt completely refreshed and hydrated. "Ahh, this is what I needed!" she sighed contentedly, rolling around onto her back. Her tail leisurely undulated in the water, the light golden scales shimmering quietly beneath the surface. Lucia stared up into the sky, spacing out in its endlessness. As her body moved on its own, thoughts slipped out of her mind, leaving her in a state of peaceful meditation out in Kuno Beach. |
