INTO THE UNKNOWN

[wooliefrand]

WHO: Some Sheep
WHERE: The Beach (and beyond??)
WHEN: TBD

[IT'S A (probably) NICE DAY AT THE BEACH. YOU COULD BE DOING SO MUCH RIGHT NOW. LOUNGING. HUNTING. FRIENDSHIP. COURTING??

But you're here instead. The sea seems relatively calm today, though you can see the wall of mist far, far in the distance still. Well, surely this won't go sour. Better get any last minute prep done!]

[Their voices resound through the ocean, and it feels like an invisible barrier has been shattered. They can move forward/go deeper!

But, there is still another song, a faint one. It's not coming from any of them though.]

I Pray to thee, beast of time
Please hear my please, hear my rhyme
When will you come, save our souls
Is it all done? Unfurl your coils~

You can't place it precisely, but....if you keep searching, keep swimming, after a long while, the water will start to get murky. It seems the voice (?) is coming from the mist.]

[strateelgic]

[Well Levi needs a moment to catch his breath after all of that, but he's also memorizing that new song if he can.

Then his eyes wander hungrily to the spectating fish...]

[finalbows]

_{[ can he attempt sending out a telepathic "Hello?" to that singing voice? ]}

[spinebuddyandme]

[ Something calling for the Forever Snake is attention getting enough to momentarily forget about what just happened. Squints out into the mist waters with beetle scanners active, looking for any signs of potential threats like suspicious movement or weird energy readings ]

[noarchitact]

[ !!! ]

[ he has tempo commit the lyrics to memory as he looks around, trying to find the source. ]

[electricflock]

[Humming and chirping bits of all the COOL NEW SONGS he's learned today and adding them to his repertoire, but mmmmmmmnot parroting that one back right away]

[catposting]

[ ...

casts Good Luck on himself.

unlike Muffin, Akrinak IS singing the tune under his breath, back in the direction of the source. ]

[eonsadrift]

[ He's not going to be singing again ever again after that, so he leaves that song to the other's memories.

But he points his sad drowned sunflower towards the mist, in hopes that it might still work. ]

[wooliefrand]

[Without actually being in the mist, the sunflower doesn't do much, its light being refracted through the water, but hey, it's pretty! The fish scatter, unless they get snapped up by some hungry party members. It seems the fish, and other sea life, is more and more sparse the closer they get the mist, knowing something is in there. Any scanners will pick up that most sealife is keeping the hell away, but telling what may be through the mist is useless. . .

Still, when Angie sends out a telepathic message, the singing briefly stops. He doesn't get a response, but soon all of them will hear a voice, crackled, distorted.]

Is--someone there? I've xxxxxxxxxx long. Dixxxx my prayers? Please, please, hexxxxx.

[finalbows]

Well, ocean's haunted.

[strateelgic]

[There's at least one less fish escaping for sure.]

Hn. Shall we wander into what could potentially be a trap? It's a tempting bit of meat on a stick.

[electricflock]

We don't have a Weed with us...

[finalbows]

We do have a pair of shepherds, though. Levie... you still feel the rest of Rose, from here?

[spinebuddyandme]

True. However: If we enter the mist, we require a mechanism to prevent losing each other. Example: A rope tied to each individual.

[electricflock]

I have rope.

[strateelgic]

I can...

I could cast a larger bubble, but I don't know if that would protect us from the mist and you all wouldn't be able to swim inside it.

1/2

[finalbows]

_{but that's OUR--}

2/2

[finalbows]

...That will help.

Re: 2/2

[catposting]

... My fur tail's another option.

[ the big disembodied one you've all seen it by now ]

It's big enough to carry everyone here. And it's much sturdier than rope.

[ he just has to not die ]

Re: 2/2

[spinebuddyandme]

[ THIS FACE AT ANGIE!!! ]

[ but grumbling more peacefully at Akrinak ]

The additional durability of it would be beneficial.

[strateelgic]

I suppose Akrinak is hardy enough to take some damage before the rest of us...

[finalbows]

Staying together as one big moving object worked out pretty well for us before, too.

[electricflock]

Am okay with tail option.

[and with getting to keep his rope]

[noarchitact]

Tail might be better, because if we should get separated, then... [ that's bad. ]

[leonheartedly]

I'm all right with using his tail . . . durability is key and all.
