wooliefrand | INTO THE UNKNOWN

[ Oh be quiet, you overgrown kitten. I know you're not fond of it, but it's going to be exceedingly useful the moment someone gets carried off by a current or rabid deep-sea wolf-squid or something. ]

[ ??? he's blowing bubbles???

is this PDA? ]

[ ............is this PDA? ]

[ what are you people exchanging looks for ]

[ keep guessing, buddy~. clover x clover's hours upon hours of silent rooftalks are finally paying off ]

[Ignoring you lovebirds to snatch a fish from a passing school with his teeth and swallow it whole.]

Why's everyone being so quiet...

I do not know or care. We have our mission. We should proceed.

[ Pauses to arch a brow at Leviathan ]

Unless any additional members require a meal first.

[chirps, oh!]

Since you asked, I want catch fish too.

You should be as quick about it as I was~♪

...Ten, nine...

[he just shoots Scarab a look like, I understand how you feel, buddy]

[meanwhile, zooming off to grab a crab off the seafloor

CRUNCh CRONCH CRANCH]

Aaaannd, time~.

[ aw, did I miss all the pda… ]

[ he might also be keeping tempo unusually close, because despite wielding a chainsaw he’s not nearly as threatening looking as a fish. ]

[ SCARAB IS JUDGING ALL OF YOU ]

[ hey! ]

[ I haven’t done anything to warrant judging… yet. ]

[♫]

[ he wants to toss a fish at Zenith but it'll just backfire and hit him in the face...

tosses the fish at Scarab instead. ]

Okay, okay, let's eat up and go. You too, Scarab. Gotta keep your strength up!

[ Catches the fish and almost immediately puts a hand to his head with a disgruntled wince ]

Ananke has strong objections. Additional: We ate a sufficient meal before leaving. We do not require fish.

Quit messing around. We need to focus or we're not going to get anywhere. We're on a time limit, remember?

[wait is the little fish tempo still carrying a chainsaw. amazing

ANYWAY, INTO THE OCEAN THEY GO. Though the initial crash of the waves is cold, they'll find that under the water it's quite warm, even comfortable since they've taken more appropriate forms! Most bigger fish stay away from the shallows, since as demonstrated, that guarantees becoming a quick meal, but the ocean shallows are full of other life--starfish, coral, bundles of seaweed, crabs (both normal ones and the fuzzy sheep crab versions.) and clams and such. It's a really beautiful sight, really.

The further out, or deeper, they go, that's when the ocean really opens with schools of fish and even sea turtles! Normal jellyfish float by without a care, and even an eel or two wriggles by, possibly double taking at the bigger eel in the party. With all this life, it feels like someone might break into song. Wait, do you feel like singing? Hm. Well you can probably resist it for now.

Oh, there is an underground cave there, but those in the know probably already know where that leads to. Where are they headed?]

[ Akrinak chuckles at the two grandpas (three, if we're counting Tyr), then dunks himself underwater and speeds off into the distance, trusting that the others will follow. what if they go both far AND deep?

his blue lighthouse is pops into visibility next to him, casually taking pictures of all the undiscovered fauna as he glides along. he doesn't seem too surprised at any of it -- did y'all know that his canon's essentially a glorified fish tank? he frowns a little as the urge to sing creeps up on him, but doesn't comment. instead, he signals to the cave, looking around for mister bigger eel ]

Yo, Levi. This is the cave you've talked about, right? The one that leads back to the pasture?

[Resist singing? Muffin? He's a songbird gryphon, he's absolutely singing as soon as the urge strikes him. If someone can understand birdsong, there's pertinent information mixed in, like their coordinates or sightings of potentially injurious animals like jellyfish. He's a professional scout! But it's all in happy musical twitterings.

He's swooping around the school of mer, taking in the sights and sometimes darting off to snag a tasty-looking snack for himself or Angel Devil.]
