Roleplaying

After a while of catching sea lion pups and eating them, the pod began moving again. The blood would obviously attract sharks. The pod still weren't content with their bellies, but at least they had something and the calves were full. Ondine looked down, there was a large shadow in the reef below, no not a shadow, a creature. She swam farther down. She immeadiately swam back up to the pod. There was a large leopleurodon down in the reef. Ondine clicked, and ehidtled to the pod. Once the others saw the danger lurking below, they all swam in another direction. Oceana noticed something, and tried to get her mother's attention. There seemed to be another orca not so far away. Night was settling in as well.

Night had fallen on the duskys, and with their feast ended they all headed to the safety of the shallows; all well fed. The cries in the distance had ceased and all was quiet—save for the distant sound of orcas. The pod knew that the orcas that had bothered them earlier were in the area, but as long as the hung around the shallows they felt safe. Their activities slowed in the evening as they swum slowly along, occasionally dragging their belly or sides in the sand for a good scratch. The only ones that were really active were the juveniles of the pod who were chasing each other about exuberantly; although the youngest calves clung to their mother’s sides, simply content to watch. The adults listened to the sound of waves crashing into the shore and against rocks; occasionally using their echolocation to see into the darkness the lied beyond, waiting for the a sign to move back to deeper waters.

Soon the pod stirred again, becoming vocal and moving back to deeper water; this time to feast on squids, which came up from the depths in the night. When going after squid the employed no specific tactics, just speed; flitting about jovially.

Forcystus and Aestus continued their mostly silent patrol, before spying something truly colossal breach the surface, a sizeable whale calf vanishing into its dark form in mere moments. Like the shadow of death itself--the two investigated the behemoth no further, just the sound of its splash alone told them all the needed to know, and feeling the water displacement it had generated. They squealed piercingly, urgently sounding off with their most frantic alarm call as they dashed back toward where the rest of the pod was. Caerultus, began sounding off as well in response to them, the group immediately bunched together in panic and made a mad dash for the shallows. Their race took them right past the orca pod from earlier. None of the panicked dolphins paid any attention as they passed the larger cetaceans traveling at full speed. Practically blind in the night without making use of their echolocation; some passed close enough that they even had flippers and flukes brushing and clipping the orcas as they displaced the water around them. Causarius, taking up the back of the group, was the only one that ran into one of the orcas; crashing directly into one of the orcas calves. He was dazed only momentarily before taking off again. The mothers slowed down enough that the youngest calves in the dusky pod could keep up with them. Voloxy and Eno called out to Nacaetus who had been lost in the shuffle, but were promptly ushered along by their father Aestus who along with Forcystus had caught up to and rejoined the group. There was no time to slow down, making it to the shallows was their upmost concern; their lives could depend on it. Nothing large would be able to follow them into the shallows.

Nacaetus who had been left behind by the pod in their panic, could hear their cries in the distance and sped off toward them, crossing paths with the orcas just as the others had, and was the last dusky to do so. Unlike the others however, she stayed put; staying with the orcas. It felt safer to do that then to attempt to close the rest of the distance to the shallows alone, where she would feel vulnerable. The others closed in other shallows at a breakneck pace; until they were there they would not relax.

The ocean. (Every single sea) Buldings, homes and cities are all underwater. The only thing above water is half of islands, peaks of mountains and volcanoes, half of trees(other half is submerged), the sky, seabirds flying above, and I guess thats it. There are also rivers. (yay the rivers survived XD) There are hippos, crocodiles and stuff like that in the shallows.

There are also still icebergs and chunks of ice in the arctic. Very few penguins and seals still live since there is barely any land.

The seas have rised and engulfed all the lands. Everything is now submerged beneath the cruel yet gorgeous ocean. The only thing above water is the sky and the peaks of volcanoes and mountains, and the flapping wings of seabirds above.

You are a sea creature exploring the new world you must get used to. Mysterious cities, unknown objects, and perhaps, danger lurks in every corner? Who knows...

You will have to be very careful. The sea can betray who it likes, at any time. The ocean has various tricks beneath it's wonderful hues of blue and soft sands. Violent storms, wicked currents, ravenous predators... what else could there be?

-Please be realistic. We speak with sounds and body language, not english. No flying magical orcas etc.

-No Gary/Mary sues.

-Do not kill anyone's character without permission.

-Do not be too violent. No ripping out (name's) throat and swallowing it whole. That's gross.

-No cursing.

-When you are making a character, under additional notes, please say what species your character is. For example, if you chose Any Species of Dolphin, under Additional Notes, you would write... (dolphin species Ex. Bottlenose Dolphin)
