🎈Oscar and Mer 🍆🪼🔮🐌🤕💻💞 🔨

XX

Just as Jeff was about to move Oscar to tell him what had happened, Oscar saw Mer lock onto Trent. He beelined it to the merman just as Mer was about to claw into Trent's neck from behind. They grappled for a moment and Mer made a noise that sounded like a bird, prompting Trent to look at them. He lifted an eyebrow.

"What are you guys doing?"

Mer literally growled at Trent and Oscar threw his hand over his mouth.

"We're playing a game."

Trent gave them a confused look. "What kind of game?"

The one where the merman doesn't slice out your jugular vein and you die bleeding in a heap on the floor! "Charades."

Kyle blinked at them as Mer growled underneath Oscar's hand, glaring at Trent with malicious intent. Kyle cleared her throat and walked over to the tank on the bar, grabbing some tongs that were in the large utensil holder by the stove.

"You must be Mer, right?" Kyle said. Mer turned to look at her and she lifted up the mesh covering for the crabs. "I heard you wanted some crabs?" Mer watched her for a moment as she used the tong and snagged a crab. "I got these especially for you and you're not gonna even try 'em?"

Mer was at a crossroads. He wanted the crab but he also really wanted to hurt Trent. Food won out, and he licked Oscar's hand to get him to let him go. Oscar let him go and Mer walked over to the crab. It had it's pinchers out, ready to defend, but it didn't stop Mer from grabbing it. He swung the crab into the side of the bar with a THWACK ! and the crab went limp. He snapped the crab clean in two and ripped off a leg, eating it shell and all.

All watching made a face and Trent lifted his top lip. "What the hell is up with that guy?"

"Trent, you need to leave."

"What? Why? I just got here."

"You weren't even invited." Oscar hissed.

"Yes, I was. Jeff invited me."

"No I didn't!" Jeff growled, coming into the kitchen. "All I said was that I was going to a party at Oscar's house and that's all. I didn't invite you."

"You said 'see you there'."

"I said, 'see you later'. Get hearing aids." Jeff snapped.

The three of them argued while Kyle watched Mer in fascination.

"Sooo..." Mer looked at her, still crunching the crab. "Oscar says you're actually a merman." Mer nodded. "That's pretty cool. Why do you have legs then? Do they just do that when you're on land?"

Mer took out his phone and typed into it.

HOO R U?

"I'm Kyle; I'm the one who patched Oscar up after you bit him."

Mer nodded and typed again. O... NO, I DO NOT GET LEGS WEN I CUM ON SHOR. I HAF TO BY THEM.

"Buy them? Never heard of that." Mer shrugged. "So, you and Trent... Why are you trying to hurt him? He didn't do anything."

HE MAKES OSKER UNCUMFTABUL AND HE IS A BAD PERSUN.

"So you know Trent from before this?" Mer nodded. "How do you know him? He doesn't seem the type to care about merfolk and stuff."

Mer was going to type something out when he smelled blood and looked over at the guys. Oscar was holding his hands over his face as Trent and Jeff shoved each other behind him. Mer threw the other half of the crab down on the counter and walked over to Trent and Jeff.
