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!]

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 ]

[ 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.

[eonsadrift]

We might want to go ahead and tie ourselves together with the rope too, just in case.

[catposting]

Doesn't hurt to have a backup plan.

[ as much of a 'plan' as this is. time to whip out the tail! it's not massive like it is in canon, but it's just about large enough for everyone to comfortably fit on. ]

Make yourself at home.

[ none of them have legs. ]

Muffin - how many sunflowers do you have in there?

[electricflock]

I have one for everyone.

[getting the sunflowers out. and the rope too, with an apologetic glance at quetzal. Will make up it to you later…!!]

[spinebuddyandme]

[ takes a sunflower and climbs up on the giant cat tail ]

Thank you. Your contributions are appreciated.

[strateelgic]

[Also takes a sunflower. He unties a bit of ribbon on the end of his staff (where he's also attached his magipen for the time being) and ties it on that way.

Then he grabs onto a tail and wraps the end of his own around it for a tighter grip.]

[catposting]

[ takes a sunflower, nodding gratefully to Muffin. hovers near the front; he's not climbing on just yet, waiting for everyone else to make their move first ]

Try to keep a tight hold on the tail, but don't worry too much about falling off. I can keep us all attached [ i.e. stuck to the tail with flow control ] if it comes to it.

I'll have my hands tied - metaphorically speaking - when it comes to combat, but I trust in our collective firepower.

[ unfortunately he's too McNerfed to carry a full party and fight. ]

[finalbows]

[ +1 monkey seaslug on board I have a migraine but do not want to hold the gang up ]

[leonheartedly]

[up onto the tail we goooo. The sunflower is getting attached to his belt so his hands are free]

[electricflock]

[barnacles onto the tail and copies levi's idea of wrapping his own tail around it. a shark's not as bendy as an eel, but!]

[noarchitact]

[ he takes a sunflower and fastens it to his belt. he’s got to keep a hold of tempo somehow, so he’s hoping that he can keep his grip on fifi’s tail with just the one… until idea! he uses his dendro to manipulate some nearby seaweed to act as undersea vines!! he’ll use them to double fasten himself to fifi. ]

[eonsadrift]

I should still be able to fight underwater, we'll be fine.

[ yeah alright this isn't the most ridiculous thing they've done today, so he'll attach himself to the tail too let's go. ]

[catposting]

[ thanks for the vote of confidence, Cloverlord. he jumps onto the front of the tail, tying himself with rope to whoever's behind him. time to barge headfirst into a massive trap! ]

All right. Count of three, then. One... two... three.

[ sunflower raised in front of him, he propels the tail carriage forward into the misty depths toward the voice. ]

[wooliefrand]

Wxxt! No! Bx carxxul--!

[INTO THE UNKNOWN THEY GO, or rather, the mist. Just like on land, they're immediately met with both howls and whispers of despair, a dizzying, disorienting sensation, none them can tell which way is up, down, left, or right. Are they swimming toward the surface or toward the depths? It's impossible to tell.

The light of the sunflowers. . .offer little relief. Being in the water, there's not much ground to see, so their illuminations only reveal more dark, misty water.

Oh, and the shadow-like shark beelining toward them, jaws open, lined with fangs. It's easily the size of a normal wolf, just faster and sleeker. In fact there seems to be a pack of sharks swimming toward them, their shadowy fins cutting through the mist occasionally. The voice screams--]

Yxxll get lost!! Txxy can't hear xx!

[strateelgic]

[Levi thinks he could probably take one shark. Maybe two. But that's a lot of sharks. They need a moment to react.

He casts a barrier around the group. He can't keep it up long, but maybe it'll give everyone a chance to get prepared.]
