P.S. Of course you wouldn’t be anywhere near a fishing festival! That would be horrible for someone like you. It was thoughtless and insensitive to bring it up and I hope you can find it in yourself to forgive me.
[It's a miracle. A ray of light in a dreary day. He got Polnareff to use his laptop.]
Jean! It's great to see you. Well, talk to you. :)
That's very thoughtful of you. If it helps, I'm not currently a merman. But a lot of people don't realize that that kind of thing WOULD bother me normally, as a matter of fact.
It's wonderful to hear back from you! I didn't think you would be able to reply so soon, but I guess these computer messages really are instant. It's pretty exciting, isn't it? Maybe these things really are the way of the future.
I'm glad there are no hard feelings, but whatever the case, you won't hear anything more about the fishing festival from me! I just can't believe people wouldn't know that something like that would upset you. You'd think it would go without saying, but some people truly are tactless.
It seems strange not to sign messages, not to mention impersonal, but it's the not the strangest custom I've ever seen. I guess I'll just have to get used to it.
There is a lot to get used to here and there's some things you just can't ever get used to, but rest assured, I'm not inflexible! I can get by not signing my messages from now on!
Still, it must get pretty tiring being in human form all the time. I don't know how you do it, but I guess I don't really understand how sea monsters work and I guess those are mysteries I'll never truly be able to understand.

[Although, ah, if he's telling him that...]
Do you need some help changing your username?
If you change it to something more recognizable, people can know who you are more easily.

How about I give you some pointers the next time we meet face to face?
<halogentopmast2239>
And now that I'm thinking about it, where are you staying right now?
<marco>
In the same place as always.
I'm sorry, did I forget to tell you where I live?
<halogentopmast2239>
I didn't think you'd be able to stay in a place like that if you weren't a merman anymore. Are you alright?
<marco>
Jean, where do you think I live again?
<halogentopmast2239>
You know, I'm surprised you can stand to stay there right now. It must be intolerable not being able to breathe in your own home!
<marco>
I live close to it, above water.
In a house.
[Marco is very patient with Polnareff, largely because by now he understands that the man isn't messing with him. He's just Like That.]
<halogentopmast2239>
You've just blown his mind, Marco.]
If you don't live IN the lake, how do you sleep at night? Wasn't it uncomfortable?
<marco>
Haven't you seen me above water at least--
No I think EVERY time you've been me has been above water.
It really is fine, I just need to stay hydrated and go swimming every couple of days.
