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.

Absolutely! Any other time I'd just sink and be bored down there.

[Which would be a pain in the butt. Sure, he can't drown, but...]

Suppose you can hide some while I go find more?

[catpiper]

Okay, but don't swim very far. It's scary down there.

[He might be all bones, but that doesn't mean a tiger dog isn't gonna gnaw on him.]

[vagabone]

[So cute, so...] Alright, alright, bossy. I don't have to go far. Not to the scary parts.

[That was the first two days! He handwalks himself into the water, slipping under the waves. RIP amusing shirt, you served him well. He'll be back in ten with shells.]

[catpiper]

[Does he think she's going to take her eyes off the sea? She doesn't even BLINK fool. She's straining to look across the waves, so she can see him come back up.]

[vagabone]

[He's back! With a pack! Which he proceeds to dump out, scattering shells all over the sand carelessly.]

Check it out!

[catpiper]

Those are very, very good!

[He has a GREAT eye for treasure. Honestly. Number one ocean hunter.

And she starts collecting them in her hands, tossing them towards the castles with all her might.]

[vagabone]

[Brilliant, stunning decoration. As always, he'll let her do whatever the heck she wants... while he starts to draw something instead of sculpt. A happy sun face, shining on the whole castle-and-pyramid sand town.]

[catpiper]

[NICE NICE NICE

BECAUSE

She's gonna draw a very happy moon adjacent to the sun!! Look at this sky fam.]
