{I'll just pretend Roberto jumpedin already...}

Roberto, though not being able to breathe, happily swam through the water. Soon he reached the bottom of the sea floor, after getting tangled and untangled in a bunch of kelp. He was overwhelmed his relief to see Mika and Roxana. "Hi!" he exclaimed, letting out a burst of bubbles. Embarassed, he searched for the mask-thing Mika was wearing. Finding a rusty one, Roberto plopped it on and continued to talk. "Where is everyone?"

{I just realized - this means I'll be talking to myself...-_-}

Mika was too depressed to answer. She didn't even look up as Roberto entered. She just stared into the dome, her eyes burning with hopelessness, hate, and fear.

"Ahhhhh!!!" Roberto screamed, swim-running around in circles. "MIKA IS DEAD! SHE'S DEAD!! SHE'S-"

Mika started at the yelp of Roberto. Irritated past the limits, Mika grabbed him by the mask, shook it off and slapped him hard across his face. He calmed down right away in shock. Then, she went back to starring at the dome. Roberto, carefully put the mask on as to not make any sounds and followed her gaze. His eyes widened at what he saw.

Roxana giggled. Then she looked over at Dominic. He was doing something with his hands...Roxana poked Mika and pointed to Dominic.

Dominic was actually using sign language. The exact thing he was saying was "This is hell where I am."

Hydroelectric Land of Lovers

There was once a man named Porcus. He grew up in a small village by the sea, and he worked as a fisherman, drawing in many fish to feed his family and to sell at market every day. At the young age of eighteen, his mother had arranged a marriage to a young sixteen year old by the name of Sercia. Their marriage was not a particularly happy one, but a comfortable one, and they had two children who were growing fast. The elder son, Detrimus, was already growing old enough to help Porcus bring in the fish.
One day, Detrimus was home sick, and Porcus was out on the ocean alone when he spotted a flash of emerald and gold. Hoping he might have stumbled on treasure, he drew his boat closer to investigate. Floating above the water was a fair maiden with golden hair as long as four of Porcus’ hands streaming in a braid behind her, floating on the water like a piece of seaweed. As Porcus carefully maneuvered his boat closer, he could see that her eyes were closed and her face was a deathly pale shade of white.
Although Porcus had never in his life felt the urge to get out of the safety of his boat and into the cold and slimy water, now he stripped of his shirt and awkwardly jumped into the water, his massive bellyflop causing water to slosh everywhere, even over the girl’s face. He floundered for a moment, and then began sinking, splashing wildly but gaining no ground. After spending five minutes floating closer to the girl but further and further from his boat, he tired and, giving up, let himself start to slip down, down, down…
Underneath the surface, the water was less murky, but it was still near impossible for Porcus to see more than a meter in front of him. But then, all of a sudden, he noticed a small fish flickering through the water, heading towards him. For some reason, the sight of the fish scared him, and he started floundering his way backwards, all of a sudden able to move as if a rudder had been planted as a third leg. However, the fish was coming at the speed of light, and before Porcus could move more than a meter, still using up his limited supply of air, the fish swam straight into him, performing a face plant onto Porcus’ lips.
And all of a sudden, Porcus could breathe! He found himself, oddly, kissing the fish back, and when the fish backed away again, he found that his lungs felt oddly full, as if they had been blown up to contain ten or twenty times as much as their original capacity had allowed.
Porcus moved forward under the ocean, trying to find the girl. Despite the hours he spent both above and below water, however, she seemed to have dissolved completely into the ocean. Porcus came home to his family empty-handed that night, for he had captured no fish in the fear of catching the one that erotically saved his life.
The next day, and the few following days, Porcus spent his time on the water not in his boat, but under the surface. In the year that followed, as if guided by an unknown spirit, Porcus began building a dome under the water, made of seaweed, and spent time with his lips pressed to the fish’s. The sensation made him quite literally crackle with electricity, and he used the extra air he produced to inflate his dome.
Meanwhile, Sercia and his children were slowly beginning to starve. They only had so much smoked fish stored, and with Porcus’ meager income from selling fish gone, there was no way to buy foods to supplement the fish. A year later, Sercia woke up to find her husband gone. She never again laid eyes on him.

By this time, Detrimus was old enough to take over his father’s role in the family, and he used his father’s abandoned boat to start harvesting his own crops of fish. Detrimus was sixteen, and he had found a girl of his own, Larnia, and they would often go fishing together.
One day, Detrimus was showing off to Larnia, and she dared him to jump into the water. He obliged, not having the touch of aquaphobia his father had. But he had not seen the high swimming seaweed that hovered only centimeters below the surface. They entangled him with their fronds, and as he struggled, he felt himself being pulled down. Larnia, in desperation and with the fear of losing her beloved, jumped in, planning to save him, but found herself also caught.
As they clasped hands and sunk slowly under the water, there was a jolt of electricity that was not due to the normal bolts of electricity lovers feel when touching, and two fish came speeding towards them.
They were also entranced by the spell of the water, and within six months, they were living in the dome at the bottom of the ocean with Porcus.

Their story was not unique; over the centuries, many people, old and young, disappeared to the ocean, and in time, the Hydroelectric Land of Lovers had been established.


ooc:// And of course, Firefly told that in her own words... I'm just too lazy to rewrite it:)

[_paper_clip_]

Dominic blinked and muttered to himself, "The story I heard was much different." His eyebrows knit together as he tried to think back to exactly how the story went...

[Lia]

"What was your story like then?" Firefly asked nervously, her fingers twitching without her noticing.

[_paper_clip_]

"Well, it was a poem. I can't remember quite how it goes," Dominic explained. ((I'm too lazy to write a poem right now xP )) "But it was much darker and no one can ever escape this place unless..." He frowned. "Unless you choose what is right and good over what you desire." Dominic blinked and asked, "Oh, has anyone besides me figured out what Hydro-Electric Land of Lovers shortens to?"

[Lia]

ooc:// OMEHGOSH! HELL!
Will reply later^^

[_paper_clip_]

ooc:// xP hahaha...did you not get that earlier?... *waits for you to reply*

[Lia]

ooc:// No!!! I'm slow^^
ic:// "What is right and good over what you desire?" Firefly repeated. "What's that?" She got distracted for a moment, staring off into the distance. What did she desire? And what was right and good? Well, it was right and good to save innocent kitties from destruction by evil witches. But she couldn't see any cats around, so she couldn't do that instead of what she desired. Finally, Dominic's words filtered through her brain. "Hydro... H... Electric... E... Land... L... Of... O... Lovers... L. H-E-L-O-L." She scratched her head, pondering. "Helol? Hello? Oh! Hell!" She suddenly let out a piercing scream. "We're in hell?!"

ooc:// I feel like bringing Sophie back. Or Hannah.

[Shadow]

"What's hell?" It was Samson's voice. He was suddenly beside the group of characters, his fur, pulled by the water, sticking up in all directions. "If it's this place, it's pretty cool. But it is sort of creepy." He sat down on the sandy floor. "Are we going to explore.. or just.. sit here and worry?"

"I vote for sit here and worry," Silver said. "After all, why can we breathe down here? I don't think we should explore. It sounds dangerous." She sat down next to her brother, then tilted her head towards the top of the water. "Oh no.. oh no.. what's that?" A huge shape was hurtling towards the water.

ooc:// My font stands out. If I'm horribly off the plotline, tell me, but I didn't feel like reading through all I've missed.. -lazy-

[Lia]

"It's hell, Samson, we're in hell!" Firefly shrieked. "Ahhh!!!" She jumped around chaotically for a moment and then stopped, her head tilted to the side in thought. "But wait... We're under water." Since when was hell under water?
She saw the shape coming towards them, and gulped...

ooc:// Your font looks good:D
They're in HELL, Shads, they're in hell!

[_paper_clip_]

ooc:// xP lol...you're so much more excited than you were before, Lia
ic://Dominic sighed. "I always figured hell had to be somewhere." --And that I was going there.--

[Faint]

{{ Well Lia, since you were able to figure out the RIDICULOUSLY-IMPOSSIBLE-TOP-CODED secret meaning of "HydroElectric Land of Lovers", then can you figure out the RIDICULOUSLY-IMPOSSIBLE-TOP-CODED secret meaning of "Devan Iltor"? xD (sorry for my sarcasm. )

Yep...nothing to post yet...

So, are the other scary people still standing there and waiting for someone to notice them? And is *cough cough* nobody going to *cough cough* rescue *cough cough* Faint??

Okay then...*whistles* }}

[_paper_clip_]

ooc:// nah xP
ic:// Dominic wondered why so many weird creatures were staring at them. Then a creature looking very much like a vampire walked up to Dominic. His eyes widened as he watched her every move.

ooc:// I know how awkward that sounds xP *goes to post a new character in the proper board*

I forget where Artemis and Michelle are so...

ic:// Artemis disappeared, going out and looking for adventure somewhere else.

Michelle, after watching Artemis leave her, jumped into the water as well. Soon enough she found herself next to Mika. Michelle whimpered, wondering what this place was, having never been to the ocean before.
