Today was an odd day, for Ryuk- mainly because he was actually coming to the dorms early, today, lightly fanning himself due to how hot it was outside as he went. Usually he spent the entire day out, but this was one of those times he was tired and wanted to relax. Perhaps get some water.. It wasn't an emergency, but his fingers were beginning to feel drier. Ah well. A large bottle should tide him over, which he could have in his room.

What added to the strangeness of that day, though, was finding a package, right outside of his room. It was a bit shady looking, too- plain, but a little beat up, and with a giant "FRAGILE" printed onto it. Now, most would look at the address to make sure it was actually for them- but not Ryuk. He saw it and simply assumed someone had given him a present, which caused him to do a few, excited bounces followed by happy squeals and giggles as he ran over to the box, hugging it to himself. It was.. a bit heavy for him, but nothing he couldn't lift as he scurried into his room.

Now, as per instruction, he would not simply rough house this box- he would treat it with care. He used the end of his scissors to lightly cut the plastic, barely able to contain his excitement. Could it be candy? New clothes? A puppy? It needed more air holes it if was a puppy, but it could still be one! A squeak escaped him as he opened the box, beaming...

And pausing with utter confusion as he saw a large jar, which only looked more perplexing as he pulled it out of the box, as something clearly was inside of it. The contents, though he couldn't really make it out, looked quite pretty. It was.. a bit strange, yes, but.. maybe it was jelly! It looked like jelly! It might be delicious, and he could put it on sandwiches. So despite his reservations, he did what no sane man would do- he opened the jar, a small, but curious smile coming to him as he did so.

That wonderful gent over there
The jellyfish boy had been sleeping for three days straight thanks to some special drug, but it was beginning to wear off. To his knowledge, he was still on vacation, sleeping in a nice hotel bed, but something wasn't right. He was mostly asleep, but he could tell that he was moving. It was too early for him to get up, or at least it felt like it, so he kept his eyes shut; but when he heard a pop coming from the jar lid, his eyes opened up to see what was going on.

He noticed right away, it wasn't his hotel room. He went to move, completely unaware of the fact that he was in a jar, but ended up falling sideways with the jar instead. It fell over without smashing, but the jellyfish boy slid right out, landing head first on the floor. He was completely disoriented at first, slowly shifting on to his legs instead of his head. Everything felt... off, as he looked around the room, sitting on the floor. His eyes stopped when they got to the tall girl in front of him. They were staring with two curious green eyes, and after squinting back at them and getting a better look, he realised that they were actually a boy. Either way, they were a complete stranger, which only added to the confusion.

"Umm, sorry but-" He was about to ask who they were, but his voice was off a little. He coughed before making another attempt. "Who are you exactly?" His voice was still off, but it wasn't important to him for the time being. He just wanted to figure out who was in front of him, and how he got there to begin with.

Well, within moments of opening the jar, Ryuk realized one thing- this was no ordinary jelly. Actually, it didn't seem to be jelly at all, but something else. Something.. alive. The jar fell over, and as the young merman noticed the obvious... thing, slid out of its containment he stumbled backwards with a small squeak, his widened eyes fixated on it.

After a moment, though, he realized this blue creature was actually a person. What he said as he spoke, exactly, was missed as he simply stared at him. He was tiny, super cute looking, and overall.. he looked like a jelly fish. After a moment of processing this and simply staring in silence, he lunged at him to hug him, making delighted little squeals and furiously snuggling him.

"You're so cute!! And far better than any candy... who put you in a jar, though? Did you mail yourself?... Oh!" He blinked, soon giving a sheepish giggle. "I'm sorry, I should introduce myself.. Hi, I'm Ryuk! You're in my room! You came in this box, and I thought you were candy, or jelly... well, I was partly right." He giggled, shrugging. "I've never seen a jellyfish person before. You look pretty."

It made him wonder if there were more of them, somewhere.. but that could be discussed later. For now, he had a possible new friend.

The jellyfish boy stared up at Ryuk, confused and dazed, waiting for them to explain what was going on. However, what he got instead was an immense cuddling. There was nothing he could do to stop it, the mystery person was quite a bit stronger than he was. Through the unstoppable hugging, he still managed to get information from Ryuk, as they told him their name and said a few things about candy, jelly, and other things that didn't make any sense. Aside from a name, all that Ryuk managed to do was add more confusion to the situation. Jar? Mail himself? Jellyfish person? CUTE?!

"I'm not-" He went to push Ryuk away and argue with him about what he'd said, but went still when he noticed his arm. It was blue. He froze, staring at his arm with complete shock. This had to be some kind of joke, there was no way this was real. He slowly moved his freaked out eyes to his other arm, panicking as it was just as blue as the first.

Waking up in a room he'd never seen before was concerning, The overly affectionate stranger, equally so; but blue skin, that was too much for him to handle. Everything was put on hold for a moment in favour of his appearance. "Do you have a mirror?" His tone was serious, he wanted to make sure it was just some sort of fancy paint or something, he refused to believe that his skin was actually blue.

Despite his excitement and insistent cuddling, it didn't take him long to notice a shift in the other male- something had troubled him during the hug, causing him to pull back a bit and look at him with obvious concern. For a minute he was worried he'd hurt the individual, but his follow-up request hinted otherwise.

Luckily for both of them, Ryuk had a compact mirror he'd carried around- he mainly used it to blind himself for fun with the glare of the sun. It was a painful, but fun pastime that let him see pretty colors. He let go of the boy for a moment to pull it out- and quickly took the blue person's hand to put said mirror in his hand, as well as talk a bit more.

"Sorry.. here. I've never had someone in my room before, so I was happy to see you.. are you okay? Why did you need the mirror? I didn't hurt you, did I?" Clear worry was plastered on his face as he simply watched him, fearing the worst. He wanted his potential new friend to be happy, not scared or upset.

It looked like Ryuk had caught on to how worried the jelly boy was, he wasn't as bubbly as he was earlier, clearly concerned about what was wrong. He took the mirror that Ryuk handed him, then started holding it up to his face as he spoke. "I just need to check something, it's okay, I'm-" He was about to say he was fine, but that was before he saw his reflection. The hand holding the mirror was trembling, and it was clear that he didn't like what he saw. "Not okay, not okay, not okay, not okay, what is going on!?" He got progressively louder as he spoke. The jellyfish was shocked before, but now it was a hundred times worse. He could barely recognise the reflection in the mirror, his skin was entirely blue, he had a jellyfish attached to his head, and his body was so... For the first time since he'd been out of the jar, he realised that Ryuk wasn't tall, he was just really short.

He needed an explanation, some sort of reasoning behind what happened. There was something missing from the picture, some puzzle piece that would explain how he went from six to four feet so quickly. He fell to his knees sobbing, before quickly turning around and staring at Ryuk. Ryuk had acted a little too casually about seeing an abomination like him, he wondered if maybe... "Did you do this?" There was a little anger in his voice, as he gestured to his whole body with the question.

He pulled at the bell on his head, trying to remove it, but had no luck. Pulling on the long tentacles to his sides, trying to push it off with his feet, and just plain pushing on it with his hands. He was clumsily falling over during the fit, which only managed to get him more upset.

Ryuk had hoped the mirror would make the jellyfish person feel better, but as he watched, it instead made it worse. He let out a soft gasp as he listened, taking in every word. "Hey.. it.. it's okay, we'll figure this out.." He tried to think to him, but with him away from him, it was hard to be prominent. It was very likely that, in the boy's own little bubble of emotion he wouldn't even be able to hear him.

The following anger didn't help manners, either, causing him to shrink in on himself a little at first as he looked slightly hurt. What did he do? Why would be do it? He wouldn't ever do something to make someone as cute as this person this upset, not on purpose!

He took a moment to step back from the situation mentally as he desperately tried to think of what on earth was going on, with such limited information.. it seemed this boy had not always looked like this. He had changed, and wasn't liking what he saw.. How sad. Ryuk genuinely felt pain for him, for his predicament.

With this thought in mind, Ryuk smiled just a little- his eyes were just a tad sorrowful- if not sympathetic- but there was still a sense of warmth to his features as he talked closer, reaching to grab the boy's shoulders, gently. If successful in doing so, what would follow was a pouring of warm, hopefully comforting energy into him. Hopefully this would help him feel better.


Regardless of if it was accepted or not, the following thoughts would also be sent. "I didn't do this.. I didn't even know who you were until now, and I'm sorry this happened. If I could have stopped it from happening, I would have.. But I don't think you should be sad. You look beautiful, you are a wonderful person like I've never seen before. I think you look cute. So it's.. not all bad right...?"

The Jellyfish continued pulling on his bell, still positive that it was just a hat super-glued to his head. He almost thought he heard a voice in his head for a second, but was too frustrated to pay attention to it. When he tugged on his tentacles, the super-glue theory died a little. It actually hurt to pull them, and he could feel himself touching them. It was an unusual feeling to say the least.

At this point, he was quite the spectacle. A short blue jellyfish boy, wearing only an oversized bathing suit, desperately trying to tear half of his head off with his weak useless arms. He was so frustrated at this point, that he started just pulling on both of the longer tentacles at once, as if to let some of his anger out on something. It was while he was doing this, that Ryuk reached his hands out to each of his shoulders. The jellyfish was about to swat them away, but he lost the urge to, instead collapsing forward, banging on Ryuk with his weak arms, which got weaker as he slowly got less aggressive.

He could hear Ryuk talking, but it was weird, it was as if it was inside his head rather than actually being spoken. It seemed as if Ryuk wasn't the one that did it to him, which he might have already known deep down, but now he was more willing to believe it. The jellyfish just fell to the ground sniffling and tucked his knees into his chest on the floor. "I don't want to be cute, I want to look normal..." He was much calmer now, though he didn't understand why. However, he was still shaken up and depressed. "And, if you didn't do it, who did?" He desperately wanted answers to his hundreds of questions, but it was starting to sound as if Ryuk was barely involved in any of it.

The longer this mini-meltdown went on, the more Ryuk simply felt pain for this poor individual. They seemed to be in so much pain, filled with so much frustration over this, and he couldn't do anything to help. He let him hit him as much as he needed to, simply continuing to poor in tiny doses of warmth. He continued to think into him as well, as a continued echo, "It's alright.. I'm here, you're beautiful, it's alright..." It wasn't going to make all this go away for him, but it was something. Anything.

He, without any hesitation got on the ground with the strange jellyfish so he could pull him into a light hug, giving occasional pets to his bell- he didn't know if it'd feel nice or not, but hey, he was trying. "I don't know. But we'll find out together, okay..? We'll get through this, and find a way to make you.. you again." He paused a moment, as he looked over the boy's form. He definitely needed clothes, but his would definitely be big on him... Well, it'd be less big than his current outfit, but..

He sighed softly, a tiny smile coming to him. "For now, if you'd like, you can stay here with me. We'll get you some better clothes, but for now you can use some of mine, in my wardrobe.. you lucked out, this island is full of people who aren't.. normal. Me included!" He couldn't help a tiny, excited squeak as he clapped his hands together. "They probably even have uniforms in your size! And maybe they even have people who can magic you back to how you were. Even if I also think you look amazing like this."

Ryuk got down on the ground and started hugging the jellyfish boy, but he just didn't have it in him to push Ryuk away. He was too exhausted, or it was possible that he was actually enjoyi- No, he was positive he was just too tired to do anything about it. The hand petting his bell was nice, and although he'd never admit it, it was very calming. He sniffled, then stood back up again, looking at everything from a now calm view. He took a long look at the box and the jar, finally getting a better understanding of what took place. It seemed as if Ryuk just got him in a box and actually had less of an idea of what was going on than he did. He let out a sigh, as he looked around the room. The height change gave him a completely different point of view, and it was going to take forever if he had to get used to it.

"whoa whoa whoa, slow down, stay here? Island? full of people who aren't normal?" He had to go find his parents right away, but he was confused as to how he'd ended up on an island, he was pretty sure they were on vacation at some small water park in... Now that he thought about it, he couldn't remember where. "I can't stay, I have to go find my family right away, I just need to think of-" He couldn't remember their names either, or where he normally lived. "I can't remember. I don't remember where I live..." He thought about it some more, until he finally realised that he couldn't even remember his own name. "I don't even know my own name!" He remembered everything about them, but all of the information he needed to get home, all of it was a blur.

He was pulling down on his two tentacles again. It had quickly become a habit for when he was getting worked up. It was beginning to look as if he was going to have to stay with Ryuk, wherever this was. At the island that was supposedly full of weird people. He wasn't sure what Ryuk meant by people who could magic him back to normal, but he supposed that it could be a plus. A shirt also didn't sound like a bad idea. If it was one of Ryuk's, then there was probably a pretty tiny chance of it fitting, but anything was better than just having a bathing suit.
