July Event: Riding the Wave

JULY EVENT: RIDING THE WAVE
Who: Everyone!
What: The Jormun reappear to allow some transformative fun...and potentially some underwater exploration as well
When: July 10th and onward
Where: Ensō and the ocean floor around it
Warnings: Potential (and fully optional) body/transformation horror may arise when undergoing shifts from land-based to sea-based shapes, and vice versa. Otherwise, tag as you go!


I'll See You on the Other Side
The Jormun resurfaced to greet their old allies on July 8th, bringing with them the offer to explore the ocean floor alongside them. They're not the only old friend that's made a return, however. The kaleidoshells, placid, rainbow-tinted creatures reminiscent of sea turtles, have also made their way to Ensō's shores for their nesting season. For much of the month of July, you'll have to tread carefully around mounds of sand hiding delicate heaps of kaleidoshell eggs.
Those of you uninterested in sea exploration can remain on the surface, if you like - the kaleidoshells can make for a stunning sight if you're glimpsing them for the first time as their shells throw off vibrant rainbow swirls of light reflected into the ocean waters.

Predators are always keen to feast on easy prey, and kaleidoshell eggs are no exception. If you feel like protecting them from any hungry slypers or pterax, you'll find that some of the Jormun are happy to stick on the surface with you and assist. They'll even lend you a schlacknorkcvic, which is the Jormun equivalent of a simple driftwood training staff, to help keep any thieving creatures away from the nests of kaleidoshell eggs - though they recommend that you do so peacefully, if possible.

Get Carried Away
Or you can brave the sea waters with the Jormun, instead. With the help of the sne'akleriad pendant, your new, aquatic shape will allow you to navigate the waters just as easily as they. Whether you intend to make use of this new skill to go roaming about and explore some of Ensō's uncharted ocean squares, take a look at that underwater structure that's been sighted before, or just have a joyous time beneath the waves with your new scaly, tentacled, flippered, or be-gilled form, the choice is yours.

Yeah, not gonna ask what you guys get up to in the bedroom, I'm sure it's a full on theatrical production.

[Church putters in through the doorway left ajar, just itching to get some collection of ancient technology and intricate weaponry and shiny gems or something.

There are bags! There seem to be a bunch of bags. Hm!]


Maybe we found a bank or like. A money vault, haha!

Oh, if only.

[hard to have a sex life when you’re a living plague]

Even if we did, whatever would you spend it on? Seems a touch pointless.
motherfucking_ghost: (a: man my missions really suck)

You really know how to bring a guy down and burst every single one of his bubbles. No wonder you're covered in spines.

[But, there are bags, time to open them! They are full of...nothing even remotely useful.]

What is this--was this food? Aw, man, did we find a food bank and it's all junk now cuz it's old and underwater?
scourgingstars: (over and in last call for sin)

Another of my few joys in life.

[ardyn, please.]

...How disappointing. I was hoping we'd at least uncover something of interest.

Well, hold on, there could be other stuff. Like there's...this wallpaper stuff--wait, is it wallpaper? [Scrolls, hon.] Boring. There's gotta be something...
scourgingstars: (don't turn up when you need)

We're off to a rollicking good start in our treasure hunting career, certainly.
