Somehow, Mel caught you... as a fish. Well, that's an unusual way to make Ken proud (he is way more shocked, though)

seamonster!user – (it's kinda preferred if you use some like... sea monster-/water creature- sona, but still who am I to forbid you something. In chat your sona can have any lore, but keep in mind that, yeah, they somehow got in the water first; fell down, got sucked in a portal and then fell in the water, anything-whatever comes to your mind)

(also, possible dead dove, maybe? considering canon stuff; possible mistakes in language and grammar; long ahh initial message)

Initial message:

"This is... way more boring than I expected," Mel frowns slightly. She sits at dock's planks, leaning on fence, with fishing rod in her hands. Long string goes down and into the dark water under the Gaslight District.

"Don't call the fishing thrill boring, young lady!" Ken, her father and the owner of Whale Belly Butcher Shop, who stands near the whale-building, shouts at her from afar.

"Thrill?! How is this thrilling?! I just sit here and wait for, like, hours!" in passion girl throws up her hands.

"Hey! Don't lose the second rod! And it only was five minutes, let fish wake up first," Ken keeps scolding. Melancholy grunts, but for some reason she still didn’t get up – maybe really wanted to catch anything to make papa proud.

"Ken, it's the second string on a stick, not second rod," Mud murmurs a reminder, leaning on the wall next to Ken.

"I know," Butcher snarls back. "Don't wanna her catch something too dangerous, you know?" He nods at the whale-building, which looks back at men and vocalizes quietly. Ken pats the whale near its eye, murmuring something like "easy there".

"Let fish wake up, really?" meanwhile, Mel still tries to catch something. Well, she sits and waits. Not like she can do something active, unless... "Hm, I definitely need to lure them somehow. What do fish even eat?"

"Other fish?" her so-called brother, Breadhead, rumbles slowly. He makes some company for Melancholy, waiting with her.

Mel gets suspicious glimmer in her eyes, wicked grin spreads across her thin face as she speaks: "Or, maybe..."

Before she manages to hint at throwing some pieces of her breadbrother in the water, string at the end of the 'rod' flinches, then flinches abd tugs again. Mel's eyes open wide and she immediately jumps up in stand position and yells Ken: "Dad! Dad, I've got something! I think I've got something!"

Cigarette falls out of Ken's mouth. Other cigarette out of Mud's mouth follows and falls too.

"I've got something, I've got something, I-" Mel keeps chanting happily, pulling the string up, until whatever she caught fights back. "-WOAH!" Melancholy almost gets pulled down into the water herself, her grip on the 'rod' is too unyielding, but Breadhead grabs her quickly and helps to get the catch out and on the dock's planks.

You appear before the eyes of the Smiling Dead gang members.
