Chatterbox: KYNGDOM™ Power of Fin
UNDERWATER BALL GOSSIP&
UNDERWATER BALL GOSSIP
The sand is golden, the water is pleasantly bubbly, and everybody who’s anybody in Southeast Kyngdom is here. We’re your proud Sea Anemone hosts, Actiniaria and Hexacorallia, reporting LIVE from the most exclusive event of the year: the Enchantment Above the Sea ball, South Kyndom’s first-ever dry land-themed underwater ball. If you see us milling around, come say hi and give us the dish on all the watery gossip! You’ll recognize us by our wavy pink tentacles (quick shout-out to our sponsor, the Subaqueous Salon and Sea Spa).
Of course, in about twenty minutes, we expect the next Guardian of Fin to be announced, and believe us, the room is simply awash with anticipation. You can’t swing an underwater lasso without bumping into a group of whispering shellfish. But first, let’s turn our attention to the incredibly glamorous attendees and give you unlucky landlubbers listening to our broadcast a little taste of the P-A-R-T-Y.
Land ho, this place is sparkling. Each twenty-foot-tall underwater cactus is decked out in glimmering lights. The sand on the floor has been carefully blended with real gold flakes, creating a shimmering carpet underfoot. The punch is flowing, and graceful seahorses are passing out dry land-themed appetizers: miniature sea cucumber tacos, tiny teacups of coral chili, and nacho towers topped off with smoked seashells. We’re hoping to catch a glimpse of the celebrity chef that the organizers swam in for the occasion—he’s a clownfish who trained off the coast of France.
Most of the guests have adopted a look that we’d have to term “highbrow underwater cowboy.” We’re seeing a lot of denim gowns encrusted in barnacles and diamonds. Some of the wealthier guests are wearing silk bandanas and golden spurs. There’s even a cowboy hat or two—ooh, we’re seeing a scuffle unfold on the dance floor! There’s gold-tinted sand swirling through the water! Hold up one second, we’re getting the 411…apparently a Fangtooth Fish attempted to dance with a Vampire Squid, who turned out to be the date of a very muscular Frilled Shark. The sand just cleared, and neither Fish nor Shark is anywhere to be seen. Security here is no joke!
Naturally, the Powers are here in full force. They’re flexing their powerful…do dragons have muscles? They have to, right? They’re looking fabulous in formalwear specially designed by none other than the untouchable CERES AND COMPANY (we’ll hold for applause). And these drama-prone Kyngdomites even seem to be getting along, at least for now.
We’d be remiss not to mention the cornerstone of the décor: a giant ice sculpture in the middle of the dance floor, surrounded by tantalizing desserts (salt-water granitas, anyone?). The sculpture is carved into the shape of a massive and very realistic rodeo scene, but instead of a cowgirl, the artist depicted a breathtakingly accurate version of our very own Finny—the heir apparent to the Guardian of Fin. The little dolphin is portrayed so accurately that she looks practically real. In fact, if you glance at the sculpture at just the right moment, you can almost see her eyes move. Magical! At the base of the ice sculpture is a keypad that requires a code, but it’s unclear what it’s meant for. Does anyone have any information? Come find us and spill the deets—we’re all tentacles.
The dancing is being put on hold for a moment, because it’s time for one of the much-anticipated activities: some of the lucky guests are about to try their fins at roping sea cows. The massive creatures are being released from a series of gilded pens, while guests shriek and attempt to catch them with lassos made from kelp. This activity certainly fits the theme, but it’s looking like no one can manage to catch a sea cow. In fact, the cows appear to be taunting the guests. We can’t believe it—they’re lining up and dancing a can-can! Hold on, now they’re swimming over the heads of the guests and disappearing into the deep blue of the ocean. The organizers look irate.
Having just slipped over to try a bit of the punch, your faithful correspondents are happy to report that the punch is especially tasty this year. Jeweled Rockskipper!
There’s something a bit different about it…a certain fizz…a tang on the back of the tongue. Perhaps the celebrity chef is trying out a new seaweed-infused simple syrup? In the interest of full gossipy disclosure, we’ve been hearing rumors that the punch is spiked—but we’d have to try another cup in order to report back for sure.
Ooh, Imagine Sea Dragons is about to take the stage: their hair is gelled, their buttons are shelled, and they look ready to rock. Hope they play their hit single, Radioactive (Materials are Leaking Into the Ocean—Thanks a Lot, Humans). Looks like it’s time for these anemones to get their groove on—come find us at the dance floor and tells us what’s really going on at this party. The wilder the rumor, the more we want to hear it! Actiniaria and Hexacorallia out.

ANOTHER LONGISH POST
Hello! My name is Electrus, heir to the Power of Storm. I must have seen the Sea Dragon earlier! It attacked me and my cousin. There was a rumor going around about spiked punch. Well that rumor is true! When I was working with Weather Inc. workers to
create a magical dome to protect the party from storms just before the
party, I saw a shadowy figure out of the corner of my eye. They snuck to
the punch and dumped some kind of liquid in the punch from a flask. I
cried out and flew after them with my couisin Samirah but the cloaked
figure pulled a dagger from there belt and threw it at me. It was made
of iron, my biggest weakness. I had a glimpse of the hooded creature's
icy blue eyes before I blacked out. When I woke up, I felt dizzy and
Sam was gone. My fellow workers didn't believe me when I told them what happened. I believe the Sea Dragon spiked it with poison to make people hallucinate into thinking everything was fine. After the ball I saw a dragon attacking Finnny. I electrocuted the dragon but Finny was hurt. She is now lying in a sickbed in New Sky City's best hospital, NSU Lutheran. I stand over her now she looks up at me and smiles sadly. "Thank you so much." I reply, "Always willing to help some one in need." She grins. "How are you feeling?" I ask. "Much better." She replies. She digs around in the cubby in her night stand. She hands me a small key. "Here," she says, "keep it." I thank her for the gift. I have to go, so I wave bye and turn around. "Wait." Finny calls out, "when the time comes, use the key. It can be used once to open any doorway, or even heal any wound." I stare at the key in awe. Who new something so small could be so powerful. I thank Finny once again, and head out the door.
i am new here, this is my first month on the
surface. I have included my ID papers and if anyone wants and adventure,
I am more than happy to join you.

Hoi, Electrus! (That's Icy for 'hello'. Teheh!)
It's very nice to meet you, and I hope we have the opportunity of writing together. Your charecter is amazing!
Although, to clear up, there is no Power of Thunder. We're only using six (although four are more important to our story than others) to avoid confusion and op (over-powered, a common term. You probably know this) charries (charecters).
New Sky City? Sounds like Sailhaven! I had no clue that there were multiple sky cities! Although, Sailhaven isn't in the best state after the crash...we'll leave it at that.
Again, nice to meet you!

Hello there, I can see that your new. There is no Power of Storm, though that does sound like an intresting name. There are only 6 Powers, and lots of sideaffected powers. To get you sorrta caught up, here are the Powers, species, and names.
Power of Fin, Sea Serpent, Ayearth
Power of Wing, Gryphon, Caelani
Power of Claw, Clawed Serpent, Eico
Power of Howl, Angle wolf (wolf with wings), Lunee
Power of Hoof, Unicorn, Sylvia
Power of Darkness/Fang, Dragon, Claaws (yep, that's me)
There is an anceint being that looks after the Powers called the PowerFriend. Celesti, boren from the center of the flower that the Powers were boren from, was the first. Icy is the current one.
Catastrophe has been the enemy of the Powers for thousands of years. He was just recently brought back to life when three of the Powers were activated. He is currently trying to take down Kyndom and kill the Powers (not realizing that when he kills them he will die also).
If you want to know more about the Powers go to This RP is... on the RP threads and there is this really long story on the Power's lives before they were killed the first time by Catastrophe. Also, the Powers get activated to be brung back to life. Like, their instraments get played again. Oh, when they 'die' they turn into instraments untill they're to be played again, and when played their activated, and brung back to life. Does that make any sence?
Now, the Powers that are activated are The Power of Fin, The Power of Claw, and The Power of Wing. The Power of Darkness was recently killed in a battle with her arch nemissis, Jaaws.
And that brings me to the sideaffected Powers. Sideaffected powers are formed when a Power does something wronge. Here are the Power, their sideaffected powers, species and name.
Power of Darkness, Jaaws, dragon, basically Claaw's twin sister with red eyes.
Power of Wing, Leptomoris, manticore, Aya, pheonix, and Eyo, Song of War bird
Power of Fin, Xaiou (or something like that, we may end up changing her name most of us don't have the accents to write it corectly), chinese dragon
Power of Hoof, Whist, large snowy owl
Power of Howl, N/A
Power of Claw, Grondor, Gaint sloth
I think that's it! Let me know if you need help catch up on anything else!
Also, welcom back MoonRacer! If you need catching up too, I'll be glad to help! :)
(November 26, 2016 - 8:31 pm)
Her name is Xiaoyu, but with accents that almost none of us have.
Mexi says tabz. Yes, Mexi, I do have a couple of other tabs open.

Lovely. For some reason I want to offer you cake...
Mexi says redi! I am, Mexi, but ready for what?
(December 4, 2016 - 10:03 pm)
Red...
Red can mean a couple of things.
For one, red is a lucky color in Chinese. It might mean you are luvky, or luck is on your side, something like that.
On another talon, red is a bold color. Maybe it means you are not afraid to stand up? Red is associated with lots of stuff.

Okaaaaay sorry I keep forgetting to post.
Jaaws~
Jaaws, in the body of the seal, reached the place where she had defeated Claaws. It had taken her a week to reach the exact location of the battle without her wings, and the fact that seals needed to sleep to recharge hadn't helped, either. She'd almost been devoured by an orca three times!
But she was finally there.
Make sure no one can get to the instrument, she reminded herself.
Jaaws first surveyed the seafloor. Hovering over the surface, she made out piles of sand stretching as far as the eye could see. Though the sunlight could hardly reach down there, the eyes of the wolf seal could see fairly well in the dark.
Directly below her, Jaaws saw the fissure in the earth. It was ten times longer than she was, and at least five times wide. Deep down, there was a ledge. Beyond that, nothingness.
Wolf seals could withstand the pressure of the ocean for a certain amount of time, and Jaaws didn't care if the seal died; it wasn't as if it held any importance. It was merely an extension of her eyes.
Jaaws could sense Claaws's instrument's magic pulsing far down at the very bottom of the crack. Down there, the water would be superheated. There was no way anything could survive a trip to the bottom.
As Jaaws decided that the instrument was safe, something whipped by below her. Another orca?
Sand clouded up where something had once been waiting. It had moved too fast to be an orca.
Another cloud of sand appeared, closer to the dragon in a seal's body. Jaaws could just make out a reptilian head through the haze.
Sand swirled all around her, spiraling in a torpedo. Jaaws felt the fear of the wolf seal threatening to overthrow her rational side. I can't fight in this form. I have to get out of here.
Jaaws swam frantically to the surface. Five sea dragons shot out of the sand clouds, cutting off her escape at insane speeds. They looked strangely familiar.
Jaaws ducked down to try to swim under her assaulters, but one last dragon completed the surrounding circle. Jaaws couldn't release her hold on the seal unless she was completely in control, and right now, the seal was actually moving on its own.
Were the dragons going to eat her? Most likely. It would take forever for Jaaws's consciousness to find its body if the seal was eaten. But as the dragons grabbed Jaaws and swam away with her, she knew they weren't going to eat her--at least, not yet.
She was being held hostage.

Deep in the sea, where strange things live with giant eyes staring unseeingly into the dark, down, down deep to a patch of obsidian sand, remnants of a volcano, or something more sinister, something stirred.....
Something that had been asleep for millenium, eons, something that was now awake...
It was angry....
It had been kept in a prison of dreams and darkness and now something was happening, something that it hated was powerful and had killed one who HAD BEEN KIND TO IT AND IT WANTED TO KILL AND KILL AND avenge the murder....
The black sand slowly tumbled away and suddenly the dark got darker, and darker until all living things had fled to a higher place and a safer part of the ocean.
A long tentacle the size of a million ships strung together slid out.....
A head emerged, lichen growing on it but two giant unblinking eyes that echoed millenium in a cage with all the hopes and fears of man and it showed all the sorrow and anger and fear of millions and deeper, deeper into the giant black pupils there are memories of pain and fear and being trapped........
It emerged....
The Kraken had been woken......
And it was angry.
(February 26, 2017 - 4:06 pm)
All things fled from the moving darkness....
High in the mountains, the Fire Dragons sensed something....
In the clouds, the Air Dragons saw a cloud of pure darkness over a certain part of the sea.
In a forest, a Seer Earth Dragon saw many new paths of possible futures open up...
And in the sea, Serpaints sensed new currents in the rivers of reality....
Slowly it moved, taking it's time, for it knew that it's revenge was as inevitable as its death....... It forced the currents to move it, controlling them as Ayearth might have, and for another Power, Claws, it would revenge... Only now had it sensed the death, as it had sensed the deaths of the Powers when they were first hunted down.... It had been imprisoned by them, deemed too chaotic for this world, not old enough, the world too young for The Kraken..... And so it had been trapped, trapped in dreams and never ending sleep...... But the Powers were right, it knew, that it was too chaotic, it knew the world could not support it before buckling under the weight....
But it had time, yes, two more days before it woud have to sleep again..... But it pitied its jailers, it had been worse when the Powers were gone, and to be killed.... painful, worse than sleep.... they had been merciful, yes, but.... Jaaws..... truly always devourering, nothing good enough, always more, more, more..... And now she had used Claaws' anger, and had killed the one who had suggested, maybe, maybe that the world might be made stronger, that the Kraken could be free more often.... But no, no.... The world would collapse, be destroyed, if the Kraken was awake for too long.... the giant contioness would.... overweight the world....
But it would sleep more happily if Jaaws was destroyed, banished, obliviated, or imprisoned....
It continued on, a patch of chaoticness, the world slowly buckling under it.....
It would sleep again, but for now it was awake, and two days could be used wisely....

I just posted the second one to have a little backstory, a bit of the Kraken's origins.
Sorry for this very short post, Admins, I hope I'm not wasting your time, and thank you for posting people's posts. It's probably a tiring job, especially with posts that have nothing much to say, like this one. =)
(March 1, 2017 - 7:20 pm)
Hey-wait, Claaws, if Claaws is dead, then logically, since Jaaws is attached to Claaws via technecically Claaws being Jaws's creator, then Jaaws's powers should be slightly diminished, right?
Or she's seperated so much from Claaws that killing her has no affect?
Also, what exactly IS the relationship between the Power's AEs? I mean, why aren't the other Power's AEs trying to kill the original Powers?Also, why didn't Jaaws turn into the instrument with Claaws? And if the other Power's alter Egos went in with their Powers, then it makes no sense that she would be an exeption.
And, um, technically because the Kraken is so powerful, wouldn't he count as a power? I mean, the Power of Chaos? Because my post just there actually suggested that, even though while writing it I had no intention of suggesting the Kraken being the Power of Chaos...Actually, he probably won't count as a Power because I don't think new Powers are allowed after the first vote, which makes sense, but also kind of clashes with the idea that the world can't support the awakened Kraken.... What if there was just one thing more Powerful than the Powers? Like a... Oooooh.... a Force? Like on a graph of power:
Force
Powers
Powerful magical animals ie Pheanox, dragons, Serpaints, ect
Normal magical Creatures ie Griffin, Unicorn, ect
Normal animals ie Humans, Horses, Salamanders, ect
Right? Unless that would be... you know...... unfair to other people?
Not counting that technically anyone controlling powers have more power and are more important than other people, plus that any new idea is unlikely to get through, and-
Be quiet. *Stuffs Pepper into a sock* I understand about things being unfair if I apparently control a REALLY REALLY powerful thing.... although I do try to, you know, make certain limitations, like it can only be awake for two days each millenium/century/forever otherwise the world collapses. =)
MPPPPPHH! MFFFF! MOOOOOFFF! mFFFO! ARMF!
