Catching something. Almost didn’t get this out.

Iola
OK, let’s take this from the top. Where did you come from?

Michelle
Out there. Over the horizon. We swam all day getting here.

Iola
And how did you get out there.

Michelle
We’d always been out there, as far as I know.

Iola
And how long was that?

Michelle
About half an hour, I guess. Then Bruce showed us the way here.

Iola
Bruce?

Michelle
My familiar. He’s a great white shark.

Iola
A familiar? A shark named Bruce?

Hellena
We suggested it to her. You know, the nickname for the mechanical shark from Jaws and the one in Finding Nemo.

Iola
You’ve seen those movies?

Hellena
I recall seeing them, but not when.

Michelle
I want to see movies. I’ve never had a human body before.

Iola
And what were you before?

Michelle
Before? I’ve always been a syren.

Shaed
Yeah. Some of us see the incongruity. We have knowledge that we couldn’t have learned in our current lives. We know each other, but not as friends or sisters. We suspect had a purpose, but no idea what it was. So, it seems likely we were someone else before. Probably not mermaids. But we have no recollection of what that was or how got here. Or how it is we’re adults if we’ve been reincarnated.

Iola
Titans curse it all! My beach is NOT a dumping ground for inconvenient spectrals!
