Shark
I’m confused. I prowl here regularly, but I haven't seen you before. How could you have been here your entire lives?
Michelle
I remember every moment of my life. All 15 or so minutes. I know things, but I have no active memory of anything before...
Hellena
So how would we recall seeing a movie if we’ve always been syrens? AND not know what we were a few minutes ago.
Michelle
Maybe that’s normal. It could be that we’ve reincarnated while retaining bits of knowledge from previous lives.
Shæd
As adult mermaids?
Michelle
That could take some looking into. I guess there’s no mermaid library handy, tho.
Shark
So, am I Bruce?
Michelle
OK. Sure. You are Bruce, my familiar.
Bruce
I am complete. Thank you,Mistress.
Perhaps this is related to the magic that makes me a familiar. I seem to have knowledge and a clarity that a shark shouldn’t have. The Gracious Sorceress of Seas, the living mistress of all Syrens, may have answers.
Hellena
Is there a Yellow Brick Road in Oz to follow?
Bruce
Not that I’ve heard of. Oz sounds familiar, but I think she can be found in a place called the Mermaid Circuit.

This gave me the giggles – I’ve seen the “reincarnated as other than an infant” trope recently in bunches of Manga and LN, from Japan, China, and Korea.
Bruce’s reaction is what proves incarnated as fully grown though, IMO.
Strong minds tho – otherwise they’d be having a meltdown over it.
This is… deep.
actually. this is a pretty great use of the Awaken spell from D&D.
Wonder how Spooky and Cleo are going to react.
More importantly, what their ‘aunt’ will do
For those of you who are too lazy to look it up: Mermaid Circuit is a road in Dundee Beach, in the north of Australia.
Not too lazy, but reading the comments first seemed appropriate. The pointer is appreciated, though!
Oooh, there’s a one acre lot is available for only $305,000. Presumably that’s Australian dollars… Nice beach.
WOO HOO! So, Bruce it is … COOL!
You’re the Man, Bruce! Umm …
You’re the Shark, Bruce! The shark with the answers.
