loL you have to continue!

What do you mean: I am sorry if chapter 5 of The Eclipse took so long? It only has 4 chapters.

I like the tongue-in-cheek tone throughout this short story, and the genuine good ideas for concealing one's identity.

If it helps, some more professional-sounding names for the mermaid powers are Cryokinesis (Ice), Hydro-Thermokinesis (Boiling) and Hydro/Aquakinesis (Water manipulation). In-story author's notes are rather distracting. Also, Number 5 is rather vague. Do you mean just "Look Around and Use Your Surroundings"?

Here's a few others:
11. Pretend it's a costume. Make up a project for which you would need this costume (note that this can also explain away any excess spending you've committed recently, since convincing tails are costly).

12. Threats. This is a drastic one, and mainly used if you have powers and have already been discovered. The human body is about 70% water; simply explain to the person exactly what you could do to them if they ratted you out.
