One Seashell - Action
[When Ariel burst out of the sea, she had expected to still be in the water. What she wasn't expected was to be stuck up in a tree.
At least, she thinks it's called a tree. Whatever it is, she's stuck in it, and the ground is pretty far beneath her.
She leans over to cling to the trunk of the tree and stares down, wondering how she got up here and how to get down and - and is that... is that the ground?
Then she... She's on the land?
Ariel slowly looks over to her legs. Legs. Legs! She can't help stretching one out, and the shock on her face turns into elation. It worked! The spell worked! Oh, she has to find Eric now! She -
She's so happy that she very nearly falls out of the tree, and she holds tightly to the trunk again. Yeaaah, she should. Probably not move much right now, even for Eric.
Maybe someone will come along...]

[Action]
She doesn't have hands to hold on to, but she can do this. She can do this! She just has to hold on to the clothing racks as she walks. That's it, slowly, slowly...
FWUMP.
... So, it does take her quite some time to get back there. But she manages! And she gives a sheepish smile, because... well. She had knocked over a clothing display, and while she tried to set it back up as best as she could, it was still quite a mess.]
[Action]
--did she just hear a FWUMP. She pokes her head back around the door and ...uh. Oh, well. Reeeally not used to walking at all, are you? She sighs, but it's good-natured. Well, good-natured for Nami. >>]
It gets easier with practice. Are you gonna be okay trying these on?
[Action]
Oh, but - she holds up a finger, and then steadies herself before she writes in the notepad. And after she writes, she grins and holds it out for Nami to read.]
"I am a mermaid! I was born a mermaid."
[...
Now please hold on to that notepad while she stumbles into the dressing room.]
[Action] 1/2
Well, mermaids don't always follow One Piece laws of physics. She should know that.]
Well, that explains a lot. You just changed, huh? No wonder you're having troub--
[Action]
Ariel? Have you worn clothes before this?
[Yeah, she's going to just. Follow you into the dressing room now. 8D;; Oh god, another thought--]
Silly question, but do you know what underwear is?
[Action]
Well, if Nami can even see it under the dress she's trying to get on. Over her head. HELP HER, SHE IS LOST AMONGST A SEA OF CLOTH.]
[Action]
Here, you put your arms through these smaller holes. [She'll grab the sleeve and tug it out straight.] And your hands come through at the end here.
[...yeah, she's just gonna take it on faith that you don't know what underwear is. 8|]
[Action]
She's... actually wearing human clothes! Oh sure, she tried to do it with clothes that people would drop overboard, but that isn't nearly the same as this. It feels... right. And though she hasn't looked at herself in the mirror, Ariel knows that she looks nice in it.
So, she grins and lifts up the edges of the skirt in something like an awkward curtsy. HEH. She would giggle if she could.]
[Action]
