Okay. So, I know we're wanting to base it off of the song, but at the same time, if we did that it would move too quickly. We could roleplay their interactions for a bit, that way we can get a feel for their personalities and understand how their relationship and interactions work.
Then we can go into the sadness. A storm, probably a monsoon/hurricane/tsunami, hits and separates the two. One gets pushed further out to sea, the other ends up washing on land. I think we decided that Milo was going to be the one that got stranded.
The interactions between the two characters at that point are going to be limited, since Milo is on land and Sobek is still in the water.
We could go about this in many different ways.. One would be introducing temporary side characters for the sake of keeping some kind of RP connection with the two main characters. Like, I have several other merfolk I can call upon, including another shark, or a whale. :D I kind of want to play the whale character in this case. He's like Chien-Po, from Mulan.
Anyway, we can go about the rest of the RP from there in several different ways--either it can continue to get sad, and Milo never makes it back out to sea, or their relationship never heals.... Or they live happily ever after, reunited in the ocean (or on land, if Sobek chooses to give up the watery life..).
:D Is that good? We can clean this up and flesh it out in an easier-to-read manner once we confirm details. Lol
