🐚 GOOISH EVENT PAGE 🎶 GOOBIES MAIN PAGE 🐚

When you gave up your normal life to join a pirate crew and set off on a journey at sea, searching for endless riches and fame, you never quite realized just how boring journeying on the open ocean for days on end could become. You’ve been traveling with this crew for weeks now, and you haven't had the slightest bit of thrill or adventure that you hoped to find.

The rest of the crew just sits around all day playing cards, or sleeping through the day entirely. All except for a an eccentric blue-green goob that curls up in the same spot every morning and spends his hours humming a quiet tune , strumming along with a brightly painted lute that is practically glued to his person. Today, you've decided to approach him. You could meet a new friend, or at the very least, listen to some nice music. When you step forward, he looks up at you and grins.

“Hey, stranger! My name’s Benji. Wow haha, you look bored! Take a seat, I’ll play a song for you.”

Immediately, Benji begins to strum an upbeat tune that has you tapping your foot. After that, he plays a slower song that has you swaying gently with the beat. Before you know it, its been hours, listening to the bard preform. You realize that for the first time in weeks, you are actually having a good time! A few of your other crewmates have even joined in, gathering around to watch the preformance. After awhile of playing, Benji sets down his instrument and sighs, content.

“This has been fun. You know, we should do things like this more often. If anything, it passes the time! Ha!”

Benji pauses for a moment, thinking.

“…Maybe we could have a sort of talent show? Everybody gets a prompt and then we all share what we made at the end of the day. Music, art, poetry, a story. Heck it could be your grocery list for all I care. We still have over a week until we reach our destination, thats plenty of time to get the creative juices flowing, right? So, what do you say?”

    DAY 1

    username: Griff
    entry:
    Jason gave a wide grin, as he looked about those around him. "Tonight I will tell you the tale of 'Be Careful What You Wish Fer!' Some of ya may be familiar with this one but don' spoil it for the new kids! Alright, ears ready? GOOD. Now then, there once was a gorgeous queen, the prettiest in all the land. She had this mirror deal right, kept askin' it if she was the fairest in the land. Of course, it told her yes every time. But then she made a mistake, askin' it if she was the prettiest in all of the world. An' here's where the mirror faltered and told her this."

    " 'Sadly, there is a race far more fair than thou, a race half fish and half goobie: the mermaids.' The queen was FURIOUS. Demanded how she could obtain the beauty of a mermaid right? In the end, she found a Royal Magician that took her request! 'I want to be half fish, half goobie,' She told them. 'Make me a mermaid!' Of course the Royal Magician had never seen a mermaid before. He looked at his queen, doubtful. But she demanded the same, even as he asked her again if she was sure. So closin' his eyes the spell was cast and POOF! Beauty beholden right? Eh.... depends on what ya go fer."

    "Before them all lied a Queen with the FRONT half of a fish and the back half of a goobie. She gasped for air, unable to speak or even breathe with her new fishy mouth, and so she was tossed into the seas. The lesson? Always, always be careful what ya wish fer. Especially if yer not sure what ya really want. As for the Queen? Nobody saw her again!"

    entry: A gooish song to get us in the mood!
    We're all going to the summer gooish!
    So much singing for a week or two
    Many mermaids and bright balloons at our summer gooish
    No more sad thoughts for me or you,
    For a week or two

    Summertime, and livin' is amazing
    Mermaids are swimming and the balloons are high
    Oh, the breeze is cool and the activities are entertaining
    So hush my friend, don't you cry

    Oh the summer of 2022

    I can't wait to do some swimming with you
    You can't wait to do some swimming with me
    This just can't be summer love, you'll see
    This just can't be summer love

    'Cause you were mine for the summer
    Now we know it's nearly over
    But I always will remember
    You were my summer love
    You always will be my summer love

    Summertime, and livin' is amazing
    Mermaids are swimming and the balloons are high
    Oh, the breeze is cool and the activities are entertaining
    So hush my friend, don't you cry

    Oh the summer of 2022

    Summer swimming had me a blast, oh yeah
    Summer swimming happened so fast,

    Summer gooish drifting away,
    To, uh oh, that summer gooish

    Yeah the summer of 2022

    entry: A kinda... poem !

    Under the sea, and by the shore
    if you listen while you explore
    you may just hear, beneath the water
    the ocean's one and only daughter.
    with a tail that calms the sea,
    draped in scales, she will be.
    To show you the way to her shiny treasure,
    for she possesses that which you cannot measure,
    it's gold and its red and its blue and green
    jewels and magic, hidden so the world cannot see.
    If you manage to find her, sweet she will act
    but touch that red ruby, and you may be attacked.
    But gazing is fine, in the eyes of a mermaid
    they sing with soft voices to lure in the thieves, mate.

They do, of course, know that their drawing is silly.

But when was the last time they were able to have some fun?

It had been... Many, many years...

Back when their parents, the gob and gobbess themselves, had only just split...

Back when things were better.

Without realising it, their moon mask becomes a full moon as they them self were filled with feelings of uncertainty.

    DAY 1

    username: Rinsea
    entry:

    Upon discovering this new place, Fidd immediately noticed everyone talking about mermaids. Fidd is one who believes only what he sees or whatever has been scientifically proven but generally still keeps an open mind on things such as mermaids. As he continues to explore this new place, he only had one thought: to find out if mermaids are actually real.

    His first search started on the docs. He joined a fisherman on his daily morning trip to sea. On his trip, the fisherman told Fidd of mermaids and his encounter with one. It was a brief encounter, all the fisherman said was that he saw a large shadow swimming under his boat that seemed to have the shape of a big fish. Fidd being Fidd, he was doubtful of the fisherman but nonetheless still took note of this finding and continued on his hunt.

    On that trip to sea, Fidd was vigilant of everything around him. Every movement in the water, every fish that swam by, even things such as drift wood and floating sea weed will not escape his sight. In the end, he did not notice anything out of the ordinary. He came back from the trip tired and without any significant findings other than the fisherman's story. Though this is not to say that he came back empty handed. In the end, he made a companion in this unfamiliar place which helped him feel a bit more at home. Unsure of what to expect, Fidd will still continue on his hunt to prove that mermaids are either real or just another myth.
