My name is Lohaliri! I live in the small town of Puredale.
Today is my 17th birthday! Me and my friends had a little celebration at school today, but I am having my actual party tomorrow, when it is the weekend!

My father works at his lab in the city nearby, Teroxopolis. The lab had recently made a great scientific breakthrough, but to me that just means that he'll be coming home early! Yay!
Anyways, once he gets home, he'll give me a birthday present, and like always, it will probably be the latest cool video game. I can't wait to see what it is!

What shall I do while waiting for him to come home?
>_

Assemble your cephalopod army

>Check your stock portfolio.

>Check your stock portfolio.

Check your stock portfolio!? It takes forever tapping your request in morse code over the phone, just too look up the current values and points. Well, you could go all the way down to the stock exchange building....

Assemble your cephalopod army

You'll just have one of these little guys do it for you.



You write down your message on a piece of paper and give it the scent of the stock exchange. There! That's all done. You'll be able to check your stock portfolio once he comes back in a couple of hours!

Now what?

Get a haircut you dirty hippie

Sing a kawaii song

put on a diaper and fart into it

Great Scientific Breakthrough: Culminate in a catastrophic oil spill.
Millions: Die.
Society: Collapse.
Party: RUINED!

Practice your singing.

Brush your hair!

> Take off that silly fish tail costume

Alternatively

> Take off that silly human head costume

put on a diaper and fart into it

Mermaids can't fart. No butt hole or anything.

> Take off that silly fish tail costume

what's a human?



and no this is not a costume
this is my actual butt.

Great Scientific Breakthrough: Culminate in a catastrophic oil spill.

Oil floats. We're underwater. We don't have to worry about that kind of stuff.
Besides, dad's work is with biology or something! Not terrascaping or anything that could involve oil spillage.
his work involves altering DNA and body structures and mutations or something?
I dunno.



Maybe that kind of science could make mermaids able to fart?
Ew no why am I even thinking that. Farting is for other sea creatures to do.

Get a haircut you dirty hippie

Please don't make fun of me.... :(
I really like my hair......

Brush your hair!

It's just so wonderful! ^_^
Everyone says it's really pretty!
I love it!

Sing a kawaii song

Practice your singing.

Yes! That's it! That's my artistic interest: Singing!



I love singing! I'll sing a song about my hair!
I'm bad at coming up with lyrics though. We'll see how this goes!

My hair is as wonderful as my singing voice and it's awesome and cute and i'm cute and such
but one day the bad hair day happened that day and the day of the that day happened
but
hair
uh
something


I'm much better at singing songs that people already wrote. But I'm a beautiful singer, so I've been told. I'm not thattt great... am I?

Well you figured out one of my interests and hobbies! You just have 4 other interests to discover!
>_

> play some old action/adventure video game that you never got around to playing/beating.

If you don't have a butt hole then how do you excrete do you just not eat or what

Why do you even have a fishbowl if you're underwater?

Maybe it's time for some breakfast.

SpoilerShow

If you don't have a butt hole then how do you excrete do you just not eat or what

Gills and/or Grow Hair.

Yes, mass consumption of food is your second interest.

But floating oil will still block out the sun, ruining mermaid agriculture and leading to mass starvation!

Wait i actually have no idea what you're saying here, btp

But floating oil will still block out the sun, ruining mermaid agriculture and leading to mass starvation!

What's sunlight?

Maybe it's time for some breakfast.

Yes, mass consumption of food is your second interest.

It's the evening! But yeah, breakfast food for dinner is a good idea. I'll eat lightly so I can have room for my birthday cake tomorrow! <3



While cereal IS nice, mass consumption of food isn't my second interest-
But my favorite flavor is sweet, like this nice yummy MerFruitTorus in Chocolate Milk!

If you don't have a butt hole then how do you excrete do you just not eat or what

You just saw me eat! So yes, we do eat food, and with the waste.... well.................



.......That's private.......!

Why do you even have a fishbowl if you're underwater?

Well, similarly to the milk in the cereal I just ate, the liquid in this fishbowl is denser and immiscible in water.



His name is Skizby!
He can swim out whenever he wants but he likes spending time in this nutrient fluid.
He's just so cute!- and yes, that's my third interest. Cute animals are my favorite kind of animal!

> play some old action/adventure video game that you never got around to playing/beating.

Yes! That's my fourth interest! My favorite video game genre, Action/Adventure!
Good guess!

OOC: BOYD DID YOU LOOK AT MY STORY NOTES?! YOU DID, DIDN'T YOU

How about we play... Mooglio? I haven't played that in years. I always got stuck on level 5.



Sorry, my family is a bit cheap sometimes. We haven't gotten one of the new expensive Etch-Displays that can shake themselves.



Ugh can't see anything



Gotta shake the screen again...



Resketching...
wait...

@*#&!!!
This game is still impossible. Maybe I'll go buy a walkthrough at the bookstore sometime.

Just one more interest to find!

Fishing!

Fashion!

(well yeah, I mean it's right there on your deviant art.)

(like, maybe actually spoilers?)

> go read some Food&Cooking Magazines.

I'm no fun, :P

Gills and/or Grow Hair.

It was my IDE/Theory that mermaids either excrete their waste through hidden gills (probably under the armpits) or that they have a metabolism that converts whatever waste products they have into their hair. Color and texture of hair is dependent on the quality of their diet.


> yeah I guess just do some underwater things like swim and such.

Well like humans, some of the nutrients and such from food go into the hair, but not all of it
Mermaid excretion is... ....

Fishing!

Fishing? You mean fish catching? No, that's the job of merfishermen.

Fashion!

Meh, fashion is more up Kalurefeni's alley.

Sleep? Now? It's not that late!



Yeah, let's call Rasatuho!

Can on a string logShow

L: "Lohaliri! Lohaliri! Lohaliri!"
R: "Hey Liri what's up?"
L: "Not much, just waiting for my dad to come home. Did you have fun at school today?"
R: "Yeah! And I hope you did, it was your party after all. What's tomorrow party going to be like?"
L: "Well it's going to be a sleepover...!"
R: "Oh uh I hope we aren't doing any girly things like talking about boys or fashion."
L: "Well, probably but you don't have to listen if you don't want to. We can also play games!"
R: "Yeah that'd be good. I don't mind listening in, I just don't have anything to say."
L: "Yup! Okay. Are you okay with play Superfabulous Mooglio Family Party?"
R: "Yeah sure. Some of the minigames are pretty fun."
L: "Alright! See you tomorrow!"
R: "Yup! See ya!"

Yes! Food & Cooking Magazines are my favorite kind of magazines! I just love cooking and making and eating food! Okay yeah, maybe you're right- mass consumption of food is an interest of mine?
Luckily I'm not fat :3

> yeah I guess just do some underwater things like swim and such.
