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.

Hell yeah, man. [Being a beautiful fish person is its own win, in a way.

She does, however, have to kind of wonder about how they've both ended up.] How d'you think these things, like... pick how we end up looking? Like, is there a pattern to it or is it just random chance or what?

[Transformative magic is weird, man.]

[devilstongue]

[ He stops at that and seems a little thoughtful before shrugging. ]

I mean, we're both awesome?

[ Molly doesn't really know her that well, though, so he can't tell. Just that it was spot on for him. ]

My bitch of a friend is a shark and my softest angel is a seal so it seems to suit people pretty well.

[bitch4bitch]

There is that. [Seems legit based on a few minutes of interaction.

She nods slowly at that.] Y'know, this fuckin' sweet perfect kid I know ended up a seal too? Might be something to that idea.

[Granted, said sweet perfect kid has been known to physically attack people when angered, but that basically doesn't change shit as far as Erika is concerned. Chip is Perfect and therefore makes a good seal.]

[devilstongue]

Then this place has great taste sometimes!

[ His sweetest best friend also brutally fights people and goes into monstrous rages so he totally understands. Maybe.

...also he totally believes she's talking about Ren, as he hasn't really met any other kids. Yet. ]

Kinda done with the fins for today, though. I miss my actual tail.

[bitch4bitch]

[Honestly if he's gonna hang around Erika, he's bound to meet Chip and get things cleared up eventually.]

Y'know, same-- I mean, not the tail part, got a week or somethin' before that shows up. [Yep, no tail now, tail in a week. #justwerewolfthings] I do miss my legs, though. And standing up.

[devilstongue]

[ Yeah, that's not an odd sentence or anything... but he'll go with it. He does things like that pretty well. ]

Agreed. I want to know I can get all my adorable toes back.

[bitch4bitch]

You did not have to say it like that.

[All this talk of tails and legs, but somehow that was what really tipped it into being weird.]

[devilstongue]

Really? All this bullshit and toesies is what you draw the line at?

[ Yep, now he's laughing underwater. ]

[bitch4bitch]

You know what? Yes. Yeah, everything else I can deal with, but I'm not dealing with toesies today. I have limits.

[Oh goddammit she can't keep a straight face, either. She knows this is ridiculous alright!!]

[devilstongue]

Fair enough, I'll keep them to myself.

[ He grins at her, obviously being a shit. ]

You're missing out, though. They're lovely little toesies.

[bitch4bitch]

Gross.

[What did she do to deserve this!! Besides being an asshole!!]

Man, you keep this shit up and if I ever so much as glimpse your feet I'm gonna toss you right back into the ocean, magic fish amulet or not.

[devilstongue]

You're a weird person and I'm into it.

[ He grins at her before he starts swimming towards the beach again. ]

[bitch4bitch]

Look who's talking!

[She calls that after him, but starts heading toward land as well a moment later. She'll take a look around and see if Chip is still out in the water, but she might be about done being a fish for now, too.]
