AVANTE! (we all in the ocean now)

[finalbows]

[ right, well. making a beeline for the whirlpool because that skip portal was hard won. ]

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Re: AVANTE! (we all in the ocean now)

[strateelgic]

[Gonna beat you all there. Maybe.]

[Subito doesn't count.]

Re: AVANTE! (we all in the ocean now)

[finalbows]

[ yeah there is no way slug wiggles are beating a country mile of eel, let alone two ]

Re: AVANTE! (we all in the ocean now)

[lustfall]

[ wow ]

Re: AVANTE! (we all in the ocean now)

[strateelgic]

[He had a boost!]

[readytosqueeze]

[ he'll allow his brother to win this time. ]

[strateelgic]

[That's actually a bit like losing and he may internally pout about it.]

[readytosqueeze]

[ hey, when levi wins... he kind of wins too!

so i guess it kind of evens out. in a way. ]

Re: AVANTE! (we all in the ocean now)

[spinebuddyandme]

[ probably also can't beat an eel in a swimming race, but he's aiming for second place ]

Re: AVANTE! (we all in the ocean now)

[poisonista]

[ He'll be fashionably ON TIME, because a QUEEN is NEVER LATE, everyone else is. Early. ]

[IN THE END IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO GETS TO THE WHIRLPOOL FIRST because as soon as any of you are in range, it's like you're all sucked in automatically. Enjoy the sensation of being swallowed up by a magical, pleasant smelling drain. Good thing you're mermaids and thus can't drown!

It's mercifully brief though, and they all find themselves thrown out.........well. Back in the mist!! For those new to journeying out this far: even underwater, the mist penetrates all, making it impossible to see, and cold, bitter underwater currents of air whip at you. There's an overwhelming sensation of dread and despair, and you could swear there's a muffled voice in your ear telling you to run or give, questioning if you're predator or prey. . .

But!

If you're connected to a Weed at least (rope, holding hands, whatever), all those sensations are lessened. Hooray! Extremely good thing too, because there are like three mist wolves (read: fucking SHARKS) that perk up in surprise when some swimming sheep suddenly appear. Heads up, they're coming at ya!

Through all the chaos though, Roses may hear a faint, pleasant but pleading song ringing in their ears.]

[ wanna see a neat trick? watch him freeze seawater, specifically to try an create a heavy, sinking vice around one of those sharks' tail and fins]

Re: AVANTE! (we all in the ocean now)

[lustfall]

[ tries to read the poor shark's mind while Angie's at it ]

Re: AVANTE! (we all in the ocean now)

[spinebuddyandme]

[ oh shit is it combat time

Ananke unfurls the bug shark suit and fires off an energy blast at whichever shark seems like the most imminent threat ]

Re: AVANTE! (we all in the ocean now)

[strateelgic]

[Like last time, Levi has his pen attached to the end of his crook. With people already aiming attacks at the sharks, however, he opts to hang back and not join the fray just yet.

If it looks like any other sharks might be showing up, or if any slip past those already on the offensive, then he'll step in.]

Re: AVANTE! (we all in the ocean now)

[wooliefrand]

[the shark thoughts are: I'MMA EAT YA!!!1 It's trying to chomp right on Gowther!!

Ananke fucking lasers one in the face though, and the other begins to sink due to Angie's magic--though be careful, realizing it's trapped, its shadowy body looks like it's starting to split. . .

Those hanging back might be able to hear something faintly:

Beast of time, please spare yours
Save us from violence, save us from wars
To keep the peace I will forever sing
Until your scales of justice ring~]

Re: AVANTE! (we all in the ocean now)

[lustfall]

[ haha get lasered. Subito giggles, then starts singing too. for fun. ]

Beast of time, please spare yours
Save us from violence, save us from wars
To keep the peace I will forever sing
Until your scales of justice ring~

[ also beams the song into any remaining shark's head in case it doesn't have ears. please appreciate the song, friend. ]

Re: AVANTE! (we all in the ocean now)

[finalbows]

[ if the answer this whole time was to sing at the sharks he's gonna be mad

...
no. He's not ready to give in yet and try. He cannot be the second person that makes this a chorus.
ANGRILY LOBS HOLY MAGIC AT THE SINKING SHARK ]

Re: AVANTE! (we all in the ocean now)

[spinebuddyandme]

[ Magic and lasers >>>> singing

in particular he's providing cover fire for Gowther while he tries out this singing theory ]

Re: AVANTE! (we all in the ocean now)

[strateelgic]

[Angie might not be ready, but Levi has come prepared!

Subito begins singing along and his shepherd... pulls out an ocarina made from a seashell. Don't ask silly questions about how such a thing would be played underwater. That's for Disney to answer.

He'll provide instrumental backing instead of singing for now.]

[readytosqueeze]

[ and he'll provide some rhythmic clapping, because this is sure as hell amusing...

hopefully the sharks don't get jealous that they can't join along??? no hands??? ]

[wooliefrand]

[i'm

well that. that wasn't the answer but you know what.

The sharks ARE confused at having a fucking holy jingle suddenly stuck in their heads. And then there's clapping and an ocarina too?? damn, pulling out the big guns.

The singing and music briefly stops the sharks, having them swim in circles in confusion, leaving them open targets to be EVAPORATED by Ananke and Angie. Hooray,,, team work??

The water is murky though, and there seems to be more in the distance rapidly approaching, but they seem far off for now. . .

Rose hears that voice again:]

It's you! You all. . .

You have to finish the song!

[finalbows]

[


fine . okay. fine. he wants to go back to his boyfriend alive today.

via his telepathy @ everyone in this ocean channel, he joins in--- with the stanza he remembers from last time-- ]

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

[lustfall]

[ joke's on you guys, he wasn't singing strategically. he was singing just to sing.

anyway Angie specifically feels a YIPPEEEEE beamed into his head. teamwork!!!

if nothing happens after Angie's singing, Subito will repeat the original verse again -- aloud, because he wants to make the most of his water breathing and he doesn't have the range to broadcast that kind of distance ]
