Clash! Claaaash! ( whistle-clicks! )

Clash was so Zoned out he nearly didn't realize what happened. He'd been swimming around near the currents just, not doing much of anything.

The sudden clicks and whistles got his attention, but the actual words seemed to draw him out off his mind space.

"Huh? oh? What... where am I?" Sending a whistle click back to his little friend.

[the-scrappy-stinger]

(click-wHISSTLLLLEEEE!!)

(Up comes Bee and Drift!) Come on, Big Thunder Mountain, the magic's gonna wear off soon! What are you doing in the deep ocean?!

(He grabs Thunderclash by the arm.) We gotta get you somewhere you won't sink and fast!

[bestautobotalive]

Clash snaps the rest of the way out of his funk as Bee, and in turn Drift, grabs his arms.

"Oh... oh is it that close? I completely lost track of time... I don't even know how I got out here! I just started swimming one day... that was... how many days? Oh my..."

Seems Clash may have fell under the same strange state Bee had earlier.

[the-scrappy-stinger]

Man I know the mood! We spent WAY too long under this magic!

(He staggers mid-swim and shakes all over. A little whimper escapes him.)

I dunno how you two are holding up as well as you are...

[bestautobotalive]

"Possibly because the magic hit us later than it did you. You seem uncomfortable, you may need to get out of the water more than we do."

[the-scrappy-stinger]

Li-like maybe? BUT-

Who's more equipped to pick the other out of the water if they transform first?

[bestautobotalive]

"I am the largest, I would sink the fastest, so perhaps Drift would be best."

@kups-war-stories

Migration has brought him back to this part of the sea again, and he’s thrilled to be able to see his old friend again. Maybe he’ll stick around this time, maybe not. 

“Hmmm, the sun is up, he’s usually around here somewhere…” Poking his head up out of the water. An hour of searching found him who he was looking for. His old friend, sunning himself on a rock. 

“Hehehe, this’ll be great!” Slipping back under the water. Right before he got to his friends sunning spot he dives, them speedily breaches the surface. 

“HEY KUP!” Twisting to flop against the oceans surface and drench the old mer on the beach. 

[kups-war-stories-deactivated202]

Kup smiled gently at that, he stopped about twenty yards away to let Thunderclash and his small pod do what they do. The old mer never had the energy with him to fully hunt. He scavenged on the floor picking oysters and grabbing a fish when he could and killing it easily.

He also grabbed plants he saw and munched on crustaceans that he found skiddering the ocean floor, when he heard Clash call out he looked up then swam in their direction before watching the fish be corraled in one big moving spot before Kup watched with a small chuckle as each mer took fish. Kup only sat to the side watching the feast.

[bestautobotalive]

The old shark watching just made him work harder to get more fish. The few pod mates and the orca that joined them got their fill, as well as Thunderclash grabbing and spearing several of the stunned fish. 

A wave back to the others as they got their fill, he swam back to his friend, munching a fish as he went. “You like the show?” Pulling off one of the days catch and offering it to his old friend. “Here you go, I got plenty for uh both, we’ll let them take care of the rest.”

[kups-war-stories-deactivated202]

Kup listened quietly shuttering at the chilly water before looking up and swimming after Thunderclash, “alright..”

The old mer watched him closely and sighed, “I am glad you showed up.. it’ll be nice to not me so quiet in the seacave…if ya plan on sticking around for a few weeks.” Kup quickly added, “if youd like”

[bestautobotalive]

“I don’t plan on going anywhere for a while. Good hunting here and good company!” Though he wished his adoptive kin was here. He’d eventually have to meet up with his pod again, but he could sense his old friend needed the company. 

The big school of fish came into view, and Luckily there was a fellow orca nearby. Not a mer, but a friend none the less. This got him excited though, it made it that much easier when they tried to do the fluke slap if there were more of them.

“Alright, I’ll show you the fish technique I picked up! Lemme talk to my friend here and you can watch!” Swiming up with the big whale before they circled the fish into a big ball, slapping their flukes through the fish, knocking them out.

[kups-war-stories-deactivated202]

Kup tilted his head. He relied more on new techniques he had to learn. More stealth and trapping,

The old mer grabbed something woven carefully almost like a bag, “oysters are in season right now.. its before the spawn so they’re fattening more.. less of those stupid stones,” Kup looped it around him, over a shoulder before swimming out to open water.

[bestautobotalive]

“The pearls? You know they make nice jewelry or just, trade goods with some of the tropical mer right?” He wasn’t much for the oysters, he was too big for them to be anything more than a snack, but he did occasionally partake in a few. He used to be annoyed by the strange white stones too, until he found a fellow mer that was a traveling jewelry maker.

“If you find any I know a mer that would trade for them.” Picking up the pace to the last location for the school of fish. 

[the-scrappy-stinger]

Thunderclash- He sees the cute little porpoise mech! And he's getting better at swimming! So hes going to try to come up below him and scoop him on his back!

(He succeeds! Because Bee honestly can’t see well in the murky waters of Lake Michigan, Thunderclash pops up right under him and flips him right over! He shouts out a little spray of bubbles before he giggles.) 

YOU! I shoulda known! 

[bestautobotalive]

“Hehheh, I’m getting good at this mer thing! This is fun! Hope I didn’t hurt ya little mech, i was just having a little fun.”

[bestautobotalive]

BARNACLE! ( Bee swims up to Orca-clash and playfully chomps on his dorsal fin. Not a real bite! Just a little nibble before laughing and holding tight to his back. ) Can't get rid of me now!

"Ooohhhh noooooo I've been grabbed! Oooh what am I even to do?" Clash laughed and did a slow spin in the water with his new 'barnacle'.

“HEY KUP!” Twisting to flop against the oceans surface and drench the old mer on the beach. 

[kups-war-stories-deactivated202]

“Considering I just got launched off a rock from a good sun nap.” His brow raised to the bigger mer. He vented softly. “Dont matter to me. You know that-” he pulls himself toward the water, scooting along.

“Just dont do that.. lauching thing. That aint fair-” Kup looked back waiting for the mer. He regretted not watching Thunderclash last time, grabbing him by the fin and being dragged along,

[bestautobotalive]

“Aw man I like doing the launching thing. But alright, Don’t want to send you flying!”

“Lets go for those fish, we can swim around them and pin them until we get a few.” Well, Thunderclash would need more than a few, but he learned some tricks from his fellow whale friends that should net him plenty of tasty fish.

[kups-war-stories-deactivated202]

Kup only listened for a few moments before glancing away again, he frowned a little as he looked back to see the marks, “squid? Hmm..”

The old mer vented, “lets go catch something.. regretting setting that fish free…” Kup was out of it.

[bestautobotalive]

“Hungry are ya? Alright alright. Saw a pot of seals a while back, bet they’ll make a good snack. Saw a school of fish too if you prefer.” Wiggling himself awkwardly down the beach until he was able to slide into the water comfortably. 

“You okay though? You seem a little scattered.”

[bestautobotalive]

[kups-war-stories-deactivated202]

Kups nostrils flared before he sat up. He looked to the water. Regretting letting the fish go until Thunderclash spoke up of stories. A small smile stitched itself over the cracked mers lips. “Alright.. lets hear it..”

[bestautobotalive]

Thunderclash rolled over to sit up properly in the sand so he could regale him with stories. 

“Alright, well hmmmm. Maybe I’ll start with the squid that tried to eat me. I was up north of here, but in the deep water. The pod had met up with another pod, and me, being who I am, being curious decided to try and swim down a bit deep and inspect the rocky seafloor, and this, squid just shot out and grabbed me! It didn’t want to let go either! Kept pulling its little suckers off me and it kept biting with its little beak! It was so weird, don’t know what got into that creature but I certainly had a lot of funny marks on me. See this one here? Thats where it bit quite hard the first time!”

[kups-war-stories-deactivated202]

Kup vented laying fat against the sand listening to clash, he gave a sad look.

His arms cross under his head, “None of my old pups showed up, again..” his old blue eyes shift to the waves, “Third year in a row, but I’m not surpized..” Kup just sighs. Letting his eyes close and his fins fold,

“No one but you, has showed up. So I am glad to see you kid-”

[bestautobotalive]

“Really? No one? This year either? I’m sorry Kup, figured one of them would have visited you by now.” He made it a point to go see his friend every year. He was surprised non of his adopted kin ever came by.  There were two in particular he was most surprised never came by.

“Well I’m here now, you wanna hear some migration stories? I’ve got a couple you might like! Some meetings with sharks, big blue whale and her calf we helped out, Met a squid mer that tried to eat me. Lots of stuff like that.”

[bestautobotalive]

[kups-war-stories-deactivated202]

Kup was happily dozing in and out of sleep, the sun warming is old mossy scales until his fins twitch and he hears the water shift until-

Thunderclash.

The old mer let out a squak as waves of water hit him knocking him several feet away,the old mer on his chest and his tail above his head. Kup barked getting up, seaweed hanging off his head and a fish flopping nearby. “CLASH- SERIOUSLY MER.”

He tossed the weed at him before throwing the fish back into the shallows grumbling, “the first sun in a week and you…” Kup just snorts shaking his head, “migration over already..?”

[bestautobotalive]

Thunderclash is busy laughing his tailfluke off at the bedraggled looking mer. The fish was pure luck but it somehow made his little prank even funnier. 

“You were too peaceful mer! I just had to! Hehehe that was great.” Hauling himself up into the shallows near his old friend. “You okay big guy? Didn’t startle your old heart too much did I?” Still joking as he got himself comfortable.

“Migrations over for now. Don’t know why I bother, never find anything new, and the old pods joined up with a new one.” Not to mention that for some reason as charming as he was he never found a mate...

“How goes it down here old mer? Still relaxing?”

( Bee zips out of the blue, swimming circles around the great big mermech. ) Hi there! Welcome to swim class!

"Hello little mech! So seem an old hat at this! Any tips for a newbie?"

[the-scrappy-stinger]

First! (Bee gets under him and starts swimming up.) Adjust your ballast!

Go up- (grunt!) and take a breath!

[bestautobotalive]

"Oh! Strong aren't you?" Thunderclash does as he's asked and swims to the surface, taking a breath as instructed, finding it a bit easier than expected.

[the-scrappy-stinger]

(Bee surfaces to breathe too, and shakes the water off his head dramatically.) NO, you're just more bouyant in the water, which means LESSON 2!!!

(He rolls onto his back and floats.) FLOAT! Like a cloud.

[bestautobotalive]

"Float?" Copying the little mech. "I've never been buoyant in my life, this feels almost strange." It was going to be a bit getting used to this.
