Everything's Better Down Where It's Wetter [reasonably open]

[littlecousin]

Characters: lots of them
Date: landfall (Apr 7-13)
Location: coastal waters and beaches around Atam
Situation: fish people and the people who manage to put up with themlove them
Warnings/Rating: None anticipated, but individual posters should warn in the subject line if relevant.

From the event post:

Come on in, the water's great! The fish are happy and well cared for, the water is tropical (which goes for any beach bunnies in our midst, not just the fish people!) There's also the ruins of an approximately iron-age city sunk just off the coast for anyone who can swim to explore! It's visible about four meters down. It's mostly old buildings, walkways/etc, that are covered in ocean detritus. Some things could be brought back to the surface. Maybe you'll even find old treasure? Who knows! Have fun exploring.

OOC: This is the catchall log for Ocean Shenanigans. This includes water-breathers on holiday, air-breathers with high lung capacity, scuba gear, mysterious powers, or a water-breather willing to spot 'em, and perhaps even air-breathers who've recruited water-breathing help to skip the checkpoint and sneak into Atam, which is doable if they're careful. /drevil.jpg

[You're a good adult, Kal. Arthur looks mildly amused.]

Open your mind. I'm no J'onn, but remember, I'm still a telepath.

['Open your mind'. Easier said than done, but Kal closes his eyes to try.]

Will I be able to hear you? I know your telepathy works differently than J'onn's...

[relentlesstide]

I'm not sure about Krypton, but on Earth, everything evolved from the sea. If I tap in through that part of the brain... [The structure of Kal's mind is more unfamiliar, and it takes a bit of effort to try and forge that mental connection.]

Can you hear me?

[andaway]

I do.

[He grins up at Arthur, opening his eyes and trying to keep the same state of mind.] Guess that answers a question about Kryptonian evolution.

[relentlesstide]

Maybe, or I'm just getting better.. [Frankly he has no idea how Kryptonians evolved, but it makes sense that most living beings evolve from the sea. Water is life for most living creatures.] This will at least suffice until we get in.

[andaway]

Sure you are.

[Said in a joking tone, as much as he can get a 'tone' when they are speaking mind-to-mind. It's definitely different from the martian brand of telepathy, it feels less like their minds being a whole and more like Kal using a language he had long forgotten but at least it's really easier to focus on what he has to say instead of focusing on hiding what he doesn't want him to see.

He goes underwater, impatient.]
