What are your Merfolk doing today?

Will put these in a spoiler as there are lots. Here is what Ikkanu has been up to recently:

He visited a new area with his friend Samphy. "Hey, this water's actually not bad."


"Eeeeeeeek! I don't know what that was, but I am never coming here again!"


The following day he brushed up on his gardening, guitar and singing. Ikkanu really gets into his singing.


"Eh heh... I hope nobody heard that." (Is still too shy to perform in front of anyone).


One of Ikkanu's roles as a (trainee) shaman is to help lost spirits who occasionally wander into the living world. They don't always listen to him though.


There are downsides to living on a haunted island. "Where do these things keep coming from?!"


That night, his sleep is once again disturbed by volatile ghostly presences.


"Okay... how does the ritual go again?" He tries to calm the wandering spirits.


It doesn't work. "What was that?!"


The spectre is in a foul mood and needs to be appeased.


Ikkanu offers it a small classical painting he made the other day.


He is in luck. The spectre is a connoisseur of fine art and likes Ikkanu's use of tone and colour in his still life of a fruit bowl.
It dumps some wax on his floor in appreciation. "Um... thanks?"
