Talia - Lowcountry Tribe - Open

Talia sighed, looking out into the distance. She loved the water, the beauty of it, how it was so vast and unknown. She loved the peaceful rhythm of the waves, the sound of water against her ears. The ocean was truely more appealing than land. And so much of it; unexplored by humans. Of course, she wasn't human, she hadn't been for quite sometime, but she was sure that she belonged in the sea, not on land. She loved the way that she had been accepted so easily into the tribe, and all of the mysteries that the water concealed. She yearned to explore every inch of the ocean, of the saltmarshes where the tribe spent a lot of their time. Then again, it was impossible to do that, so she would have to do with what was possible, and explore the waters nearby. Besides, she wouldn't want to leave the tribe. They were the closest thing she had to family, and she couldn't bear to loose her family all over again.

Charlotte | Reef Tribe | Tagging, Lydia, Elizabeth

Charlie awoke slowly, raising her head and wiping sand off her face. A wave crashed softly over her abdomen, causing seafoam to sizzle on the sand. She looked over at the other two mermaids, then up at the roof of the cave. Her stomach ached with hunger. She decided to slip away and find a conch for breakfast. Her tribemates wouldn't be too worried about her, it wasn't far to the nearest reef. Very quietly, she slipped into the water, taking a breath before she dived and began to swim. The water was always warm here, and she loved it. As she spotted the reef, she slowed. Several pilot fish whipped around her, and she let out a loud burst of bubbles in excitement, twirling in the water and watching them swim to keep up with her twisting body. She glanced up at the surface. Her lungs didn't ache yet, she wouldn't need a breath for quite some time. She dove down towards the deep, slowly swimming through the massive mountains of coral as she looked for a nice, big conch or lobster to eat for breakfast.

Ekene | Queen of the Lowcountry Tribe | Tagging Talia, Constella

When Ekene rose, the sky was still gray and the marsh around her cloaked in shadow. She laid in the mud for a while, watching as the darkness began to fade before finally giving up on sleep and slipping away from the others. She dived down into the water, looking for a cluster of oysters. She'd swam for at least a mile when she finally spotted a new one. Grabbing a rock from the seafloor, she began to smash at it, working to break it off the pillar. The sound scared away a nearby school of fish. She feared the others might worry for her, so she began to hum, a soft, haunting tune that travelled several miles through the water. It was enough of a song that the others would recognize it, but nowhere near strong enough to attract humans, or make them suspicious. It was a difficult thing to pull off, but Ekene had had centuries of practice. And a good degree of natural talent.

Lydia Stone/Queen of Reef Tribe/Tagged: Open
Lydia reveled in the sun that filtered down to the reef as she swam among the coral, singing softly. She loved to practice her singing anywhere she could, and her song was usually to be heard throughout her tribe. She was searching for conch, as she was hungry. She spotted one buried in the sand and dug it out, and, using a seashell, cracked the shell and began to eat the yummy meat inside.

Samuel Stone/Human/Tagged: Open
Samuel put his red convertible in park and slammed the door behind him as he walked twards the surf shop where he worked. He clocked in and went into the back room to begin stocking shelves. There was a window which offered a great view of the sea, and he looked out of it as he gathered boxes, watching the waves rise and fall.

Nina yawned as she pulled her torso out of the water. Pulling her chest up onto a flat rock she didn't dare expose her scales to the dry air. To many times had it happen and she didn't think her heart could handle it again. Grey eyes scanned the shore for any humans but they fell upon an empty beach covered with seals sun bathing. A frown found itself growing on her small face as she stared at the lazy creatures. It wasn't what she wanted to see but it was better then nothing. What would've came from seeing a mortal anyways? The exposure of mermaids? Or the mortal's unforeseen death? Either way someone was doomed. Slipping back into the cool water she let herself sink as her eyes watched the sun rays dance into the sea. She pitied the mortals for not being able to admire the simple beauty of light entering the water without blurry eyes. Letting a few bubbles of oxygen slip from her mouth she watched as they desperately climbed to the shore before flicking her tail and taking off deeper into the ocean where no eyes from the shore could see her. Passing by a school of fish she playfully mimicking their faces by sucking in her cheeks and puffing out her lips.

Dangling her feet over the salty water of the marsh, Augustina sat on a dock that over-looked the most of the Lowcountry Tribe's territory. Although a normal human wouldn't know it, but Augustina wasn't just a normal human. She knew all about the ocean and all the tribes. Who wouldn't after spending over 300 years in it? Rubbing her eyes with the palm of her hand she felt stressed out. After all those years of trying to become human, it all ended like this. Biting her knuckle she felt herself tear up around the eyes. If she had known so many years had passed by maybe she would've given up, at least as a mermaid she didn't feel alone. Now as a human she felt foreign to the world. She couldn't even enter a town without having a panic attack and embarrassing herself. Pulling her knuckle out of her mouth she sucked in a lung full of oxygen before screaming in frustration. "This is the worst!"

Talia | Lowcountry Tribe | Tagged : Ekene

Talia was still looking out towards the open sea when she heard Ekene's song. She recognized the queen's voice immediately, and looked towards that direction, mesmerized. She was continually awestruck by the power of Ekene's voice. Talia knew that she would never have that kind of power. Then again, that was why Ekene was the queen. It wasn't like Talia was a very good singer in the first place anyway, and she hadn't had much practice either. Maybe she would be able to do something half as impressive as Ekene after a few decades of practice. Maybe. After looking out towards the horizon for a moment longer, Talia ducked under the water, swimming towards the sound of the queen's song.

Charlotte | Reef Tribe | Tagging, Lydia, Elizabeth

Charlie spotted Lydia in the distance, cracking open a conch. She let out a gasp of jealousy, swimming up to her queen.

"Lydia? Where'd you get that?" she asked in a huff, hovering in front of her. She looked down at the conch hungrily. "Enjoy it...I'll find something to eat." She turned away and continued her search of the coral reef huffily. It was such a big conch, too. And she'd been looking longer than Lydia.

Soon enough, she found a bed of scallops, and her temper calmed. She swam over to Lydia. "Wanna go to the breakfast beach to crack these?" she asked. "I need air, any way. And that's where Elizabeth will go."

Ekene | Queen of the Lowcountry Tribe | Tagging Talia, Constella

Ekene managed to dislodge the clump of oysters, turning to head back to the tribe with it pressed against her chest. She spotted Talia swimming towards her, and smiled. She gestured to the surface, then let herself float up, her head breaking the surface. She gasped in a breath of air, beaming at Talia.

"Good morning, Talia," she said, flicking her tail occasionally to stay afloat. "I got breakfast for us. Is Constella awake?"
