Tazlure

Brytan, you've been great and I'm sorry that your kiddies are disappearing. To my kin: Sorry we never got to meet any of you, it would have been cool. This place really was unique, and I don't think I'll ever again in my life get to play anything quite like an orca kanthrop. It's a shame... Never di...

"May... I um.. may I enter... the water?" Jolace asked, still not opening his eyes, trying to focus on listening. He really felt as if Gannas and Merry were much more ambiguous than was really necessary... Everything they told him felt like it was a test of his inductive logic. Still... He...

Jolace needed food so that he could live, but he also needed to meditate. He was stopping on this island merely for the sake of replenishing his energy, not wanting to drown from exhaustion. He wasn't sure what was beyond this island, but he still intended to find out. Maybe it was home, maybe it wa...

I'm back. The young kanthrop was excited about his new power, and he looked forward to having many undersea adventures with Groas, and Spud if and when he also warped. Heh... The lil' guy would have to warp the minute he found out I did... He'd never let me outdo him. Jolace's right arm lifted up a...

There was nothing in his mind, other than the sound of his heartbeat and a great peace of mind. He had one thought, and that was the thought of listening. He wanted to hear what the spirits had to say, and he was going to do as he did with normal people, and keep quiet as he waited and thought deepl...

Jolace didn't have a marvelous flare for adventure. If he did, he would overcome his weariness and keep moving onward to the island ahead of him. He was not outstandingly ambitious in this department however, and he was aware that he needed rest, and food. He tried his hardest to focus on shifting. ...

I have to listen... Gods I'm such an idiot, of course! That's what Gannas was trying to tell me. I need to stop being so eager to get the attention of the spirits, and just listen to them, that's all. They aren't gods after all, so why should I grovel on my knees before them... Perhaps I should jus...

Disturb... Well it's to make unhappy I guess. To offend? I suppose that I assumed he meant that the slightest ripple would disturb the water. Did he mean otherwise? Was he implying that the water had feelings and I had to be respectful of them? But... Water is water... ...Or perhaps the water is fi...

Jolace needed rest. He wasn't concerned with the size of his resting spot at the moment- although he didn't want to end up on a ten meter island alone with a roaring dragon. He decided to head for the largest of the nearby atols. He could head further south later if he regained his energy. He clicke...

"Charmed. I'm Jolace." A slight smile formed on the kanthrop's lips. He'd never met a fae, and he knew nothing of them. This one seemed very friendly however, and he was very happy to have it as his spiritual guide. Its words were baffling, although comforting. He didn't understand this di...

Food. It is time to hunt. Jolace's mind was centered on food, but part of him was nervous. He was growing tired, and he didn't know what he would do if he became too tired to swim. He noticed that his clicks illuminated fish around him, so he tried the smartest thing he could think of. I've got to ...

The sleek organic torpedo followed his kin, whooshing through the waters like a rocket. He surfaced when he needed to, blasting righteous plumes of air and moisture up over the surface, but he enjoyed the very long periods of time that he spent under water. Indeed, such spans of time without needing...

The burly kit couldn't help but return to somewhat of a meditative state, with all this he had to think about. His eyes were fixed on the grasshopper, and in his mind, he pictured it flying around, following him into a fight with a troop of cryers and spitting magickal flames. A slight halfsmile app...

Speak without my mouth...? I don't think I can do that. Can she read my thoughts? My aura goes blue... That makes no sense to me. If only I didn't know so little! It appears that this spiritual guardian of mine assumes I know many things that I do not, and I would hate to disappoint her, but... His...

The orca felt at ease... At home. He followed his brethren wherever they went, and he kept attentive to those around him. He wished to fit in... And for a change, he felt like he did. I wish to understand... I actually wish to express myself, but it appears listening is all I can try to do. Though h...

I think that's a pretty good idea. It would encourage everyone to interact! At least, at an OOC level

The kit was so distracted on his adrenaline high that it took him a moment to even realize he'd changed. Holy Mother! This... This is it!! I've finally done it! He wished to scream for joy, but what came out was a crisp siren, which sounded infinitely beautiful to his ears. My partner... We meet at ...

"Huh?" He blinked and his eyes burned as they rehydrated. A fury of blinks took place as his eyes watered and eventually he looked around, confused. From the tiny voice, he assumed it was female, although he likely wouldn't find out the gender of the bug unless he asked. He wasn't a veteri...

He swam, kicking his legs together up and down, as if they were a tail, and he pushed himself along with his arms. We're coming! He allowed his instinct to be driven by his inner animal. It was only fair, they were both equal partners in this body, and now was his orca's time to shine. I can see! Th...

"Oh, hello." The kit responded, but it was half a burn before he spoke again. He was still unskilled in the area of meditation and he did not want to lose his focus. Whether or not that had anything to do with his ability to hear the voice, he didn't know, but he didn't want to take the ch...

I don't understand. Are these spirits different from the ones back there? Can they not all see and hear me? Did my earlier test mean nothing to these noble spirits that are here? He felt sad, and abandoned. "Goodbye, master Gannas." Pouting, he sat down, cross-legged. He rested his chin o...

We shall be together. He was completely captivated, and he stepped forward, continuing his call out to them. Into the water his feet went, and he walked until he was chest-deep. Let us join them! Now is the time! We are one! We are a kanthrop! No... we are an orca! His spirit was filled with passio...

Once there was only a mark left in the daytime, he thought about what Gannas had said earlier. Walk the path, without taking too many risks, lest you only take a few steps... Or something like that. He tried to recall his words, and he sat for a burn thinking about that alone. "Each choice made...

Without disturbing the water? Certainly this wasn't possible! If Jolace was to swim down to this cove and collect the moss, he would absolutely disturb the water. If he even used some sort of long complicated tools, that too would disturb the water. If there was another way, Jolace was not familiar...

The orca-kanthrop returned to the beach with only a couple marks of the safe and blessed sunlight left in the day. The Sun once again was reflecting off the water in a long and waving centipede of light, but this time it was sinking down towards the ocean. In a few marks it would be gone and Jolace ...
