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.

(Oh boy, here comes Jester. Yasha doesn't even know how to steer this thing, and she flops awkwardly onto her side in the water when she can't heft her tail about face to greet her. She shoves herself back up again, tail bunching up underneath of her as she wipes sand off her face.)

I... don't know.

Maybe? They don't feel like they are. (If they are, that's really gross. Yasha doesn't look too concerned though, they're gone... for now. When she turns back, will they be there? Mental note to be alone when taking the pendant off again, just in case.)

And it feels weird. I can breathe, though. Are you putting that on? (She's pointing to the pendant in Jester's hands.)

[Well, Jester's glad Yasha isn't suffocating, even if it'd be fine 'cause she's in the water anyway. Don't be fooled by Jester's desperate attempts to not look like she's going to burst into giggles as Yasha flails around; this is the face of a concerned friend.

Oh, right, Jester forgot she has her own pendant in the excitement of seeing Yasha Hex: Become Fish.]

Oh shit! I'm gonna do it too! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[And on it goes...

Plop. There's a blue fish with some pink scales and frilly fins here now. Oh, and it's got a tiefling attached to it. She's still got a skirt over her tail, though. The pants mystery remains unsolved.

Jester is just gonna splash her tail around some, trying to figure out how the frick this thing even moves.]

Yasha. I don't have legs.

... But you have a skirt.

(oh nooooo. Yasha's going to try really hard to not think about it. At least she has a lot of Jester-fish to look at instead. She chuckles as her fins sort of wiggle in the air.)

You're a pretty fish. You're so... frilly. (The colour combination is nice, the pink and the blue. It suits Jester.)
