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.

Ooooooooooooooooh noooooooooooooo I wish I'd joined this when I could..................
Okay, um, could you guys just sum up what happened?
I understand about Finny's sculpture actually Finny in ice and stuff, but what recently happened?
And may I join this?
As someone who got there late?
I'm sorry if this sounds like I'm just jumping in, but really I'm just gonna outline Sakali's personality IF I can join this thing, so:
I play a Jackal named (Re-named) Sakali.
He's male, the Black Backed Jackal species. A fight-or-Flight kinda shy guy. He'd fight if he had to. Not really trusting, but if he's your friend, then he'll pretty much always be there for you.

I might as well warn you. You are being judged, And your actions may be your end. chose wisely.
(August 3, 2016 - 10:52 am)
Laya, Laya. Calm down. You do realise that they will just ignore you.
(August 3, 2016 - 7:19 pm)
I know. But some will be a judge to others.
(August 3, 2016 - 7:54 pm)
Good point. Fair warning is a trait of highly civilised beings.

The waves shook the small raft that I was perched on, in a chilling way, reminding anyone, that we really didn't have a choice of being here anymore. the sand is sandy, the water frigid, and anybody who's anybody, is stuck in the middle of the ocheon on a small raft. My fur had a salty coat covering it, from the occasional splash of seawater.
Huddled around the center of the raft was a group of wounded animals, gossiping about all the watery gossip. As the pink tentacled reporters would say. Where did thus two go anyway? They probably would be mighty helpful right now. Whomever was an unlucky landlubber, would be more so lucky than us, and probably have a chance at being heros. But so does anyone on this raft. Once I thought about it, why haven't any sea creatures helped us yet? We were most literally drifting along their living rooms like that's where boats normally were! Sea creatures… so mysterious. Maybe that's why Finny acted like that when she was first released.

First, everyone can join. This is a thread made by the admins, so there are no limits.
Second, Laya and Elliot WTK was that all about?
Think i have time to write around six mountain time, so sorry for the delay! :(

Thanks Claaws! I'm gonna start posting my view of the story right know...... (sorry if I sounded rude when I asked to join....)
Sakali~
I'm not much of a ball person, but hey, the Gaurdian of FIN is being chosen. I need to know who's being chosen or I might not find a way to stop B.I.G. Unfortunately I'm late. Lucky I took several of those strange underwater breathing pills, or I might not be living right now. The ball is a mess. The sand's upturned, what was an ice statue is shattered, the stage is overturned, and no one's here. Maybe that spiked punch caused a B.I.G uproar. (Geddit? B.I.G? Big? Salaki likes jokes) Well, one thing's for sure; the Gaurdian of Fin isn't here. I doggy-paddle up to the surface of a stormy, ice-cold sea. It felt better under the water.
But I don't want to waste those pills. I look around and spot a raft-well, lots of stuff tied together-so I quickly swim towards it. It's getting too stormy to be out here. I hear a rumble and look up to the stormy clouds. Uh-oh. Thunder. The waves are getting bigger, and I hurry to reach the raft. I see a pretty motley crew on it, land animals and sea-people alike. I swim quickly, but suddenly a wave splashes me back underwater. The sea's suddenly different. Almost pitch-black underwater, with only a few eery lights. I quickly surface, and swim with all my might towards the raft-most sea-creatures are friendly, but the Sea-Dragons are sometimes deadly. And even in my nightmares I know that there's always something worse in the sea.....
The animals on the raft seem to have spotted me, but I can't be sure. BOOM! It starts to rain, and I see a fine white mist on the water. Soon I won't be able to see the raft, and then, if I can't find it..... I shudder and try to swim faster. But..... there's something underneath me. It's...... giant..... but it's gone now. However, the look I got at it, it might be a Sea-Dragon..... no, it can't be. But my imagination plays tricks on me..... a wave looks spiney........ a splash somewhere.... and slowly I feel dread coming into me. This storm might be something from an angry Serpaint. A Sea-Dragon..... their roar is light, like a million sailor's souls yelling in agony, but terrible. Then, then they can shoot out of their mouths boiling water, or water so cold it would freeze mid-air and skewer you......
I start to shiver, not just because of the cold but because of the possibility of a Serpaint.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hope that wasn't too long!
If you want, the Serpaint could simply be a figment of Salaki's imagination, but it could be a certain Serpaint who wants to see if the Gaurdian of Fin can hold up to some high-level storms.... to Master THE POWER OF WATER, NOT AS GREAT AS AYEARTH, BUT GREAT ENOUGH....... MWHAHHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!
(August 4, 2016 - 2:29 pm)
It's a serpent. Not serpaint. And why you would think that is beyond me. Also why can no one spell Guardian correctly?
(August 4, 2016 - 9:09 pm)
ugg so sorry my horrible spelling ruined the hole thing. My phone is also all jacked and its repeating sentences when i deleat somwthing. Rrrgggg!
okay. So I dont really want Claaws to be found. Maybe when Ayearth is released or something. But for right now she is dead. Gone. No more. And also im gonna focuse mostly on Cealani right now.
Uuuuggggggg! I am so mad at my phone right now! It ruined it! The perfect death scean and it RUINED IT!!!!
You know, I may end up writing that over again. On a laptop. Where IT CANT MESS IT UP!
Also should it be a trumpet?
Oh, oh ah! Admins can you like, make something for the Power of Darkness? Like the stuff for the Power of Wing and co. I wont give you sujestions, i just want you to use your magic! And make finding the Power of Darkness a mystry. Like the canyon could lead to a secret cave, or a magical underground tunnle. Or maybe BIG has it.
Just, consider it?
Admin: Let's just say we're very interested in the Power of Darkness!
