Room 518/520, Wednesday Afternoon

[demonbelthazor]

With no workshops that day, Bel busied himself researching mermaids. Most of what he found on the web was just fluff. Reading a few demomic sites he still had access to, however, gave him the information he was looking for. The Sea Hag. Allegedly she was a demon with the power to transform mermaids into humans, but she would only do so for a price. Fine. He'd find her and pay it.

The only question was how to find her.

[open if anyone cares to console Bel about his girlfriend being sushi (or any other reason)]

Pippi has come back from her trip into town with Molly when she decides to check up on her neighbors.

*knock knock*

[demonbelthazor]

Bel opened up the door, bracing himself for a rabid Piper. "Oh, hey, Pippi," he said.

"Hi Bel! How are you liking life on the 5th floor?"

[demonbelthazor]

"Okay, I guess," Bel said. "Except for the part about my girlfriend being a fish. But that's not the floor's fault. I think."

"I didn't know Phoebe drank..."

[demonbelthazor]

Bel blinked at Pippi. "She's a mermaid."

"I thought she was a witch?"

After workshops...

Cally wandered back up to her room... which was pretty close to Bel's, so she randomly decided to walk down and knock.

[demonbelthazor]

"Hey, Cally," Bel said upon answering the door. "You heard the news?"

Re: After workshops...

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Nope," she said. "What's up?"

Re: After workshops...

[demonbelthazor]

"Phoebe's a fish," Bel sighed.

Cally winced. "Ouch, I'm sorry," she said. "But the good news is that these things usually wear off."

Re: After workshops...

[demonbelthazor]

"Not this," Bel said. He beckoned Cally inside the room and sat down heavily in a chair. "She cast a spell and it backfired. She's a mermaid now, and she doesn't seem to really want to change back."

Veronica had listened to Archie's radio broadcast the night before.

She wondered if her boyfriend had imbibed more alcohol than she thought at Caritas.

But just in case, she decided to knock on Bel & Phoebe's door in the afternoon.

[demonbelthazor]

Bel opened up the door. "Hey," he said, bracing himself for a verbal assault.

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Please tell me that my boyfriend drank too much last night or one of the radio sources is on crack and that your girlfriend isn't really a mermaid," Veronica said.

[demonbelthazor]

Bel sighed. "She's a mermaid," he said.

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"What happened?"

[demonbelthazor]

"She cast a spell," Bel explained. "Personal gain. It backfired on her."

After unsuccessfully trying to talk some sense into Phoebe, Piper stopped by Bel's room. She hoped he might know of anything else that could help, so she knocked on the door.

[demonbelthazor]

"Come in," Bel called wearily. "It's open."

[absolutesnark]

"The spell didn't work," Piper said, not even bothering with a proper greeting as she walked into the room.

[demonbelthazor]

"Shit," Bel swore. "Why not?"

[absolutesnark]

"I think it might have something to do with the fact that she wants to be a mermaid now," Piper sighed. "I tried to talk some sense into her."

[demonbelthazor]

"I was afraid of that," Bel groaned.
