I don't own a Growing White July, but if I did I would pair it with my Joker. XD. (Weird dream = Rocky shipping White July x Joker. XD)


Jadite [M] and Tarlatamous [M]
Jadite is the son of the god of the Sea(who I don't have a name or character for yet. XD). Tarlatamous is a sea creature, half seal, half wolf, and part something strange from the depths. Tarlatamous, like all good Seal-wolf-thingamajigers, grew up in the ruined city of Atlantis, dreaming of the day he would get to be a big Sewothin (See what I did thar 8D?) and swim the oceans, protecting the seas from evil. Jadite (who hates his name, by the by. May change it to something more God-of-the-Sea like) dreams of patrolling the shores and meeting with land-creatures, with an eye towards regulating waterfront development. Unfortunatly for their dreams, both came down with the strange affliction known as PPS, an increasingly common disease with no known cure. Here's the story of how they met.
~/\~
Jadite bubbled through his nose, impatient with the dolphins trying to tend to him. The creatures were just trying to help, but Jadite had had enough of tests and prodding. If they thought this stupid disease was going to stop him, ooooh boy were they wrong. If Jadite had learned anything in his life, it was to bide his time until the moment was right. So he put up with the dolphins until they left his room, leaving him alone.
Jadite's eyes narrowed in calculation. Eyeing the clock, he swam over to his bed and pulled out a seaweed bag. The bag held everything precious to him in the world. An oyster, filled with the pearls that served as currency in the Lost City of Atlantis. A bag full of sand-dollars, currency in the rest of the sea. And his prize possesion - the horn of a narwal, engraved with legends of the sea. He counted the minutes until the shark gaurdians of the Royale Undersea Palace changed, then shot out of his window.
His rudder-like tail churned furiously as he swam, quicker than he had ever swum before. All his plans depended on these five blessedly ungaurded minutes during the changing of the gaurd. If he was caught, his father would punish him severly. Jadite was sure of that, as his back still stung from the beating his father had given him last time. All that mattered to him was to find Atlantis, to learn from the archetichs there.
Slipping through the coral barrier, Jadite sighed with relief. Ginglerly, he picked his way through the maze of tunnels in the coral, taking care to not cut himself on the jagged edges. He didn't want to think about what would happen if the sharks caught a whiff of blood.
Free, free at last! Jadite eagerly shot off into the open ocean, heading for the general vicinity of Atlantis. His father had always been stingy with information about the lost city, avoiding directly answering Jadite's eager queries. Jadite swam until he thought his legs would fall off. Not even the webbing between his toes helped when he was too exhausted to even echolocate. Finally, Jadite topped the ridge where he knew Atlantis had to be.
The greenish-blue pup recoiled with horror at what he saw. In the legends, Atlantis was always a shining collection of buildings, preserved from the ravages of the ocean by the Sea God's power. The sight that greeted him, however, was hardly a gleaming jewel of civilization. Jadite ventured forward tentativly, staring at the strange creatures that roamed the ruins.
Here were the dregs of ocean society. None of these creatures were powerful enough to figure in any intepretation of myth. He saw strange dolphin-like creatures, covered in grimy-looking navy blue scales. One smiled menecingly at Jadite, and he recoiled once more when he saw the rows of shark teeth in the creature's jaws. Everywhere he looked, strange combinations of creatures that shouldn't exist swam. All the inhabiants possesed glowing tribal markings that came straight from the legends.
Jadite wandered through the ruins, dispiritedly looking for the master crafters and archietects that supposedly inhabited Atlantis. He saw no evidence of culture, but he saw plently of reasons these creatures didn't live in the open sea. While he was peering into a ruined tower, hoping to see some magically preserved artifacts, he was body-slammed and sent reeling into a heap of stone.
When he had shaken away the seastars circling his vision, he blearily gazed at his attackers. There were five of the strange Shark-Dolphin creatures, what looked like a mini kraken, and two massive seahorses with saber fangs. Jadite wearilt righted himself in the water, suddenly uncertain of his purpose here. Son of the Sea God he might be, but the long swim had tired him out immensly. He tried to summon an underwater vortex, child's play, and only succeeded in swirling the small kraken's tentacles around. The motley group of creatures attacked viciously, as Jadite tried to defend himself.
Suddenly, a loud barking noise interrupted the fight. The Saber-Seahorses backed away, looking nervous, as a strange pod of creatures swam into veiw. The new arrivals slammed into the fight, lashing out with powerful flipper-paws and glowing water magics. Jadite simply cowered against the stones, tired mind unable to cope with this new sensory overload. When the fight had stopped, a small pod of the new creatures swam up to him, sniffing his wounds and gently barking at him in their own tounges. A big battle-scarred male finally swam underneath Jadite and gently bore him away, as the exhausted immortal puppy lapsed into sleep.
When Jadite woke up, he was in a vast cavern. He looked around in awe as the seal-creatures simply swam around him. Here were the treasures he had expected to see. Manuscripts and artworks lay around the perimeters of the cavern, covered in softly biolumencent preservation magic. A small seal-creature swam up to him, gazing at the wolf curiously.
"Arf, Arff!" the creature said, before coughing. "Greetings, Seaking. I am Tarlatamous, son of the Sewothin Council Head. My father wishes to speak to the son of the sea god, when the little Seaking is rested."
"Tar-late-ar-mouse? How did you know who my father was?"
"Tamous to you, young Seaking. We identified you by your Story Horn. The Sewothins presented it to the Sea God many eons ago, in exchange for the magic to preserve these relics of Atlantis. What is thy name, Seaking?"
"I...I am Jadite. I am pleased to make your aquantince...Tamous."
~/\~
Jadite is still confused by the feelings he has for the Sewothin Tarlatamous. Hopefully it'll resolve itself soon.

((Long Story is long, no? Sorry. XD))
