Goobie(s) Involved: maddi
If art or writing, Partner? no
If Art, NPC? no
Entry:

Maddi looked around, looking back and forth between the jungle and the beach and at the goobies that had already ran over to the various sandcastles scattered around on the shore. ‘Hmm… That does seem a bit fun…’ She thought to herself. Every time she would look at the beach however, she would always think back to the jungle and what it could entail. Sure, it wasn’t the typical treasure hunting spot but who says that this hunt has to fit in that shaped box? With her thoughts all sorted out, she finally came to a decision. The goobies that had already decided which setting they would like to explore watched as she walked to her group. “Welcome to the team Maddi!” one spoke up, upon her walking up to the group. “Let’s explore this jungle now, shall we?”

The four siblings are gathered together, as they watch the group discuss. One by one, everyone decides on a path. Arcus speaks first, wishing to go to the sand castle! Eventually Angelina voices her wish to go to the sand castle as well. Neptune and Cordelia speak then as well, opting for the sand castle as well!

Asashi and Kai meanwhile decide to stay behind with the boat, watching the nearby waters. And they are not alone in this. Atlian to stays by the boat, relaxing as well. With the smallest group, unless they decided to follow one of the others, this would be where Duarte and Silver would end up as well. Unless Veen stayed on the boat as well, as she was currently doing, and the numbers between the sand castle and boat remained tied.

Ringo meanwhile chimes in next, pulling out... is that a TREASURE MAP?!? Huh, maybe Jungle is the way to go. They are soon joined by Lucille, who is confident in their decision to go to the jungle as well! Even Kari after a few moments of thought opts for the jungle path! Reese meanwhile darts quickly towards the jungle, almost a blur of speed that is easy to miss were it not for the huffs. Caspian and Marilee end up choosing the jungle as well, even if my mishaps. Finally, Maddi had decided to join the jungle as well.

Davina, Three, And Lotan opt for checking the beach! Why not stick close after all? Lilac, Navy, and Crimson stay upon the beach as well. But where did Tangerine go?

After this the four realized there was one thing left to do: it was time to split up. Each volunteered to lead a team, with the promise to meet back at the boat before the sun went down.

For this section the area in mention will be under a colored header! But its up to you which path your goobie ultimately decides on!)

SAND CASTLE

Carybdis is the one who starts to lead the Sand Castle Expedition, smiling at them all as she juggles bubbles along the way. "I guess we're Team Sandy! And now Sandy Cheeks, that would be uncomfortable," she remarks with a chuckle. The path she takes is a strangely... straight forward one. It is clear that at one time, this pathway had been paved with seashells and glittering spires of sand. The spires had long since weathered away leaving strange spikes in their place, and the shells were either crushed or dust, literal fragments of their former self.

"I wonder who even built all of this..." she ponders, looking back at the crew she was leading. "A bunch of really bored pirates? And... why? I mean I guess if one is bored you'll do just about anything! One time I even gave my sisters bubble crowns and Leviathan a bubble bowtie. It was ADORABLE!" She adds with a giggle. As the group comes closer, they realize just how large the sand castle is. It is, in short, the size of a literal castle. The entrance had long since rotted away, as was evident by the bleached and weathered wood scraps strewn about. It left the inside exposed, the sun shining down through holes in the roof. Through windows comprised of seaglass bright colors danced across the floor, which looked abandoned for some time. The only residents here, it would seem, were crabs that skittered across the way and the occasional gull that simply peered at them before going back to their business.

"Well this is a bit... anti-climatic," Chaybdis admitted, before she tripped, With a sneeze, she landed face-first in the sand. But as she sneezed, a strange ancient platform was revealed. At the base of the platform there seemed to reside a series of indentions. Charybdis blinked. "Wait, look for intact shells that aren't shells!I think... I think we found something!" Meanwhile they would realize looking further there were shelves of books, bottled potions and treats, as well as... small tanks? What were in the tanks? What does your goobie decide to look into further?

BEACH

Cecaelia finds herself in charge of those that are exploring the sands. "Admittedly, we do not have much to do except... look for clues and dig," she tells them as she pulls out some shovels for everyone. "Or you can dig yourselves with your hands if you think it faster! Let's sing some cheerful songs to pass the time hmm?" She winks at the group, trying to distract those who had been sea-sick before with calming music and activities.

"I know this is not as terribly interesting as the other paths bu-" She pauses, as her shovel strikes something solid. Curious she continues to carefully dig, until she pulls out a statue of a mergoo donning a crown. Parts of the marble had weathered away, but it was still clear what it was. "By Davey Jone's beard, there IS treasure here! Everyone, dig faster!" But what will everyone else find if they help dig?

* * * * *

BOAT/OCEAN

Leviathan meanwhile hums softly, keeping watch of those on the boat. "There's no shame in staying back," he says gently. "Someone has to keep an eye on the ship after all..." His own gaze keeps looking over the waters, curious if he would see the shape he had seen before. And then he hears it clear as anything: a sneeze. He nearly jumps, his own goo on end.

"Who's there?" He demands, saber at the ready as he tries to sound a lot braver than he feels. He stands before the others, ears back. "Show yourself!" A deep voice chuckled then, as the waters began to move.

"Is that any way to greet the Minor Gob of the Depths?" And out of the water, suddenly the group could see oh so many tentacles as Davey Jones himself pulled himself closer to the group to face each and every one of them.

"D-D-Davey JONES!"

"Some would say that's my name, aye Lad!" The weathered pirate winks, before pulling himself up to stare at Leviathan and his group eye to eye. "Got ya all here safely didn't I? Figured I'd do yer ol' man a favor. But yanno..." He grins, a mischievous glint coming to his expression. "Yer adventure is just startin'! Let's go mateys!" And before any of them could get a word in, the waters reached upwards for them. Strangely, they could breathe. They could see. And as each were pulled under the waters unless they somehow found an escape, they were given a first-hand view of the waters depths and the brightly colored fish within. Davey Jones himself directed the currents holding each, but to where who could say...?

* * * * *

JUNGLE

Ahklut led the remaining group through the jungle with a confident ease, their saber cutting down any errant vines or branches in their way. "Remember crew, we are looking for anything strange or new or just plain awesome!" She tells them with a wink. Stomp. Stomp. Stomp. Come to think of it they were making a LOT of noise. And surely all of this noise was not about to go unnoticed...

That was when they heard the sound of a guttural roar, as ahead of them many branches came crashing down. Ahklut raised her saber up, protective, but holding her ground. "We're not afraid of whatever you are!" She tried to roar back, just as loudly. A second roar came, as the creature stepped into their view. A MASSIVE goobie stood before them, with the main body that resembled a tiger but crocodile-like scales, teeth, tail, as well as claws. Gleaming yellow eyes looked upon each in judgement, as they started to pace around the group. Taking in the weight of each with a thoughtful gaze. Intelligent.

"Who are you...?" Ahklut ventured.

And then the goobie smiled. "I have no need of names. I have lived here all of my life and am The Guardian of The Shining Shell Island. You have great timing all of you. You see, I really am quite famished..." And as Guardian said this, a wider smile formed showing each and every one of their wickedly sharp teeth. So what now? Should they try to talk their way out of this? Run? Or fight? Maybe this is all a big misunderstanding?

Prompt Day: 6
Goobie(s) Involved: Angelina
If art or writing, Partner? No
If Art, NPC? N/A
Entry: Angelina listened as the rest of the group voted, and when the siblings decided to split up and each lead a team to the different areas, she hesitated for a few moments before deciding who to follow. After all, it all sounded so exciting, it was a difficult choice to make! Nonetheless, she ended up following Charybdis towards the sand castle, as her curiosity about how it had stayed so relatively intact was just too strong to ignore. Angelina looked around at the path the group was following, examining the shattered shells and spikes with interest. Listening as Charybdis spoke of wondering who had built the castle and why, Angelina grinned at the tale their guide told of making bubble crowns and a bowtie for her siblings. That sounded really cute!
Angelina's curiosity only grew as the group got close enough to the sand castle to see inside. Despite the rotted entrance, she still considered the building to be an incredible work of art. The seaglass windows caught her attention immediately, and she was amazed by the flashes of color they left on the floor. Angelina greeted the crabs inside with a giggle, thinking it adorably fitting that the sand castle would have crabs living inside of it. Though, she was quickly distracted when Charybdis tripped, and looked over in concern. "Are you alright?"
The reveal of the ancient platform surprised Angelina. What was this? She'd never seen anything like it before. She examined it curiously, wondering what purpose it may have served, or if it was simply there to look cool. At Charybdis' instruction to look for shells, though, Angelina immediately began searching the room, eager to help the group. The first thing she noticed was, naturally, the books. Due to her love of learning new things, Angelina loved books, and so she quickly headed over to the shelves, skimming over the titles for anything that might particularly interest her, before recalling she was supposed to be looking for shells. Well... Maybe there would be one among the books? Yes, it wouldn't hurt to check the shelves thoroughly...

Prompt Day: 6
Goobie(s) Involved: my goobie Llyod and Atlian owned by Caeleesi
If art or writing, Partner? Yes
If Art, NPC? n/a
Entry: Llyod had to admit, he definitely did not expect to be taken on such a wild adventure! Although he felt guilty for staying back on the ship, considering he wanted to have a swim, he felt comforted by Leviathans reassurance. When Llyod was just feeling content again, he jumped in shock at the same time as Leviathan. Sounded like a sneeze... but from who... from what?
Within a matter of seconds, the ship and the goobies aboard were all pulled underwater. At least he got to go swimming now.
Llyod was separated from Davina at this point, and he was getting worried. Who knows where she could be, who she could be beating up. He looked around frantically but noticed a goobie who looked even more shocked than himself. Llyod made his way over, actually feeling quite comfortable in the water. Swimming with ease, Llyod put on a friendly smile. "Hey, it's alright! We can breathe, see?" Llyod said as he took a deep breath in and exhaled calmly. "My name's Llyod" He added with a wave of his tail. As the two made conversation, Atlian became more comfortable and started to forget about the worries of being underwater. "Y'know Atlian, If I were Davey Jones, I would've just fed us to the sharks" Llyod blurted out casually. "Like this whole abduction thing is such a waste of time, dont you think?" Llyod added as he turned to face his new friend. Atlian's eyes were wide with a clear combination of worry and fear. He was now slightly more concerned about who he was with...

[Rinsea]

Prompt Day: 6
Goobie(s) Involved: Lucille
If art or writing, Partner? No
If Art, NPC? No
Entry:

Lucille not having any combat experience knew that fighting was not the way to go (at least for her). Not knowing what to do, she stood her ground and did her best to not show how fearful she was. "Fake it til you make it... but are we gonna make it out of this" she thought to herself. She took a good look at her surroundings and saw some goobies ready to fight while others willing to talk this out. She left the confrontation and combat strategy to the other goobies, in this brief moment where both the monster and the crew took a first look at each other, she tried to map out the best route to escape in case things went bad.
