Never in a million did Ariel think she would be making her way towards a town full of people, willingly, let alone acknowledging the fact that she was invited. Her breath would always hitch in anticipation as she made her way towards the Village of pop, catching a glimpse of the houses and its architecture gave her a moment to express perplexity as well as admiration. Not used to being out of the water, she can't help but let her curiosity get the best of her. It had been a seemingly long time since she had expressed her wonder so vibrantly, but as she looked around she couldn't help but feel nostalgic.
She let her eyes burn willingly at the vibrancy of the premises, as she went by, various pop trolls had so kindly greeted her.
"Hey there!"
"Welcome to Pop Village!"
"Momma, she's so pretty."
She couldn't help but blush at that one, not used to any admirable features about her being complimented, as she walked by each component that had complimented the essence of what made pop village she couldn't help but admire the vivaciousness around her. The style of architecture. the flora and fauna, the nature of it all seemed impeccable, to begin with. When being constantly towed away from the surface of the earth, you can't help but gaze in wonder if what you were missing. She also couldn't help but notice how much brighter and warmer the place felt. It brought her constant bliss with every flick of her tail that a smile had been drawn across her face ever-so-slightly.
After time flew by, Ariel then came across the pinpoint location that she was advised to meet them at. As she passed by the lime coloured leafy trees, she could help but feel almost being watched, observed, connected to in some way. No, not someone staring at her in a psychotic manner. This was more, personified. It was like this place knew everything about her, yet it could almost manipulate her.
She couldn't understand it at first, her mind shook off that imminent feeling that kept clinging onto her back like a ball and chain.
"Heyyyy! There she is!" Ariel heard a raspy voice, Ariel turned to her left slightly and her sight was greeted by the sight of Barb waving in her direction. She was seated with Delta. Queen Essence wasn't there so that made her feel uneasy as she was so used to her presence, but she couldn't be so rude with the kind gesture.
She smiled politely, the nervousness in her throat had more of an urge to escape the area as her smile consciously grew.
"H-...Hi," Ariel spoke, mentally cursing herself as she stuttered. Her consciousness then grew to the tightness in her stomach, she couldn't help but still feel iffy, her gaze shifted to the pond as she sat down, noticing the rippling vibrations that were fairly obvious to her, and not anyone else.
"Hey, honey! It's so glad to finally talk to you!" Delta exclaimed, letting her excitement and enthusiasm get to her. Ariel rose a brow slightly, a smile grew on her face that was more vibrant than the last showing up more vibrant than the last.
