L: A large eastern dragon flies through the air before descending to an outdoor pool. He pauses as he gets close, and mist briefly surrounds him, being at a mere 10% of his previous size once it clears. He smiles, and hovers down to the pool's surface, looking into its depths.
H: A bipedal wolf with brown fur (and lighter ring fur highlights on his wrists and ankles) then steps into the scene, going for a swim in the pool. He has blue irises on his eyes like the depth of the ocean or the starry sky of the night. He wears purple swimming trunks and a black cape, as well as having bracelets on his ankle and wrist. He also wears a sun pendant necklace as well as having a wild pointy hairstyle with a long mane reaching to his shoulders.
He happens to notice the dragon hovering near above the pool and waves hello. "Oh hello! Didn't expect to see you here."
L: "Oh, I didn't expect to see anyone here either!" The dragon floats over to the wolf, still not touching the ground. "I'm Cirrus. What's your name?"
H: "Nice to meet you. I'm Cody Wolfman!" Cody, smiling bright and happy-go-lucky as ever, offers Cirrus to shake his paw.
L: Cirrus shakes Cody's paw. "Nice to meet you too! I was just about to just relax underwater in that pool for a while, I bet it'll be better with you here!"
H: "Oh nice, hehe. I was also going to swim in there too, hehe." Cody wags his fluffy tail.
L: "Perfect! I bet I can stay under longer than you, but that's not really a big deal. Just relaxing with more casual dives is nice."
H: "Yep, hehe." He kneels as he looks at the pool's depth, it's about the same size as a large community pool. His ears dance around in excitement.
L: Cirrus checks it as well, and smiles. "Yeah, this one's nice and deep... Might even fit me at my full size..."
H: "So umm you like swimming, Cirrus?" Cody curiously asked his question.
L: "I do! Well, not so much literally swimming, I just float around like I am now, but I love being underwater!"
H: "Nice, hehe. Although it can be risky staying down there for too long..."
L: "A little, definitely, but I can hold my breath about 47 minutes. I've made pretty good use of that in the past, going super deep down on just one breath."
H: "Wow, cool! I also have a trick to remain down in the water for long without passing away!" Cody cheerfully said as he goes near the ladder.
L: "Looking forward to seeing it, then!" Cirrus hovers down into the water, keeping his head above the surface for now.
H: "Hehe, i'm sure it will amaze you" Cody happily smiles as he takes the ladder. First dipping his toes into the water, then his body whilst keeping his head above the surface. His cape and long messy mane floating above the water.
L: "I'll see you down at the bottom!" Cirrus takes a deep breath and dives under. Cody would be able to see him "swimming" down to the bottom of the pool.
H: Taking a deep breath, Cody dips his head into the water but still above Cirrus, letting his hair flow freely upwards like a kelp forest. With puffed cheeks (realistingly) and few dots of bubbles leaving from his nostrils, he waves at Cirrus with one hand while the other is about to grab his own sun pendant necklace. ":3"
L: Cirrus waves back, happily blowing out a ring of bubbles as he floats just above the bottom of the pool's deepest section.
H: Giggling some bubbles out. Cody clutches his sun pendant, turning it into a crescent moon with one of the tips chipped off somehow. Following right after, Cody begins to grow fish-like fins on his head and elbows. His tail also grow transparent fish fins as well whilst keeping his fluffy fur flowingly intact. His back also grows a fin, this time dolphin-like in appearance.
He stops holding his breath as gills slit through his neck and chest, allowing him to breathe water like fish. However, he still bubbles through his mouth and nose albeit infinite inside his lungs.
On his hand paws, his fingers become webbed like an otter as he opens and closes them, which helps Cody in propelling underwater. He also grows long webbing in his armpits. They stretch like rubber.
His feet then receeds its own claws back into the flesh as Cody feels them going numb. He can no longer move them as webbing grows between the toes. They start to flop on their own as his paw feet elongates along with the toes merging into the webbing more as they too elongate as well. They flatten and fan themselves out as his bones disappear, sprouting into paw-like fins resembling flippers, flowing like liquid and flopping independently like a sheet of cloth or a mermaid's fins. His paw pads are gone but their imprint are still there, marked onto the flippers.
After resurfacing for a bit, Cody happily then doves down into the waters of the pool towards Cirrus, kicking his flippers like a mermaid as bubbles rush past his nostrils.
L: Cirrus' eyes go wide in amazement as he floats around Cody to check out their changes. "Oh, that's SO cool! You can just do that!?"
H: "Yep," He bubbles his words out "My necklace allows me to become aquatic whenever I want. Meaning I no longer have the need to hold my breath for very long!" Cody spins around then poses epically.
L: "Do you think there's any more like it out there? I wouldn't have a WHOLE lot of use for it, but it'd still be really cool!"
H: "Umm well... So far, this is the only one of its kind that I saw and have. I'm not sure if there's any more out there."
L: "And I certainly haven't found one, and I'm probably way older than you... Darn."
H: "Yeah... Anyway, how long does this pool go deep eaxctly? I thought it was like community sized from what I can tell above" Codu blub in confusion. In fact, it resembled more like those large indoor pools like Nemo 33, Y40 The Deep Joy & Deep Dive Dubai with its similar structures whilst keeping the small blue tiles spreaded throughout.
L: "I don't know how I didn't notice before, but yeah, this is really deep! I've been to the bottom of those 3, but I've never heard of a 4th one, this is cool!"
H: "Wait a minute, there's more of these?" Cody has never heard of the three other pools his Puppeteer mentioned (this is just a meta fourth wall break gag that will not heavily impact this roleplay) apparently, he may had visited the human world one time but it is in only one location.
L: "Oh, you didn't know? There's Nemo, The Deep Joy, and Deep Dive Dubai. And, apparently, this one. Hang on, kinda low on air..." Cirrus heads back up to the surface to breathe, then comes back down.
H: "Oh, I see. Speaking of that, I can also blow some air bubbles if you like." Cody blows a giant air bubble from his nostrils and nods his head off it, letting the bubble go. "Ta-da!"
L: "Hey, perfect! I'm not gonna have to surface with those around!" Cirrus grabs the bubble and holds onto it. "You know, a friend of mine can do this too, but he can't breathe underwater like you can."
H: "Oh, you mean Blubby? I also met him, hehe." Cody lays on the giant bubble he created on his belly while keeping his claws away from popping and wagging his fluffy fish tail. "We went submerged treasure hunting together one time."
L: "Cool! He's a great guy to dive with, always gives people air if they need it. That probably wasn't too important for you since you've got that necklace, but even I get some help from his bubbles."
H: "Nice, hehe." Cody hops off his own air bubble and sets his mane aside that was currently covering his face. "After this exploration, maybe we can tell Blubby about the pool?"
L: "We should! He wouldn't really be able to explore it on his own, since he can't swim, but I bet he'd like checking this out with someone that can bring him up." Cirrus takes a quick breath from the bubble he's holding, shrinking it by about half.
H: "Hehe." Cody bubbling giggled. "Anyway, let's go check this pool out!"
L: "Yep!" Cirrus starts to float down deeper into the pool, happily looking at everything around him.
H: Cody, now in his aquatic form, explores around the pool, looking inside several structures with his night vision equipped blue eyes. Every nook and cranny. Cody kicks both his flattened feet flippers back and forth altogether like a dolphin, sometimes with the aid of his webbed paws and fish tail, as his brown fur and mane flow around like liquid along with his cape. He flaps his fins around in excitement with each new discovery. He is enjoying the time of his life.
L: Cirrus follows them, breathing in the last of his held bubble in the process, and he eventually returns to the central section to relax. "Man, it's always so much fun to explore these for the first time!"
H: "Yep!" Cody happily does a small flip underwater. "By the way, would you like another air bubble?"
L: "I'll be fine for a while longer, I think. Thanks, though. Oh, I should probably show you my size changing ability at some point, huh?"
H: Cody sinks down till standing on one of the blue tiled buildings with his flippery paws. "Wait, you can change sizes?"
L: "Yep! Don't know how, I just can. I'm actually smaller than normal right now, hang on." Cirrus backs away some, and the water near him clouds, obscuring him. When it clears, he's much bigger than before, now roughly 41 feet long and 3 feet thick. "This is how big I normally am!"
H: "WOW!" Cody lets out a bubble explosion in awe. "That's so cool, I didn't know you could do that!" Cody hops off the ground where his webbed paw fins were standing and swims around Cirrus, flapping his fins excitedly like fish.
L: Cirrus smiles and lets Cody inspect him. "I can go even smaller than I was, too, to just a few inches long. Nothing in between that and what you've seen, though."
H: "I see, hehe." Cody sits on Cirrus' giant head, letting out heart-shaped bubbles from his snout and mouth and brushing his mane with his webbed paws.
L: Cirrus watches the heart bubbles, and starts bubbling himself, though his aren't any particular shape.
H: Cody notices an imprint on one of the large walls surrounding the entire poolscape. An logo. It says "Waterscape Utopia, your only and only special liquid paradise submerged within your dreams~" accompanied with the silhouette of a dolphin. "So that's the name of this place." Cody commented.
L: "Interesting how I've never heard of this place until now... You'd think it'd be better known. H-hey, um, could I get a bubble?"
H: "Sure, no problem!" Cody smiles as he blows a giant bubble around Cirrus' entire muzzle. "Consider it a rebreather, hehe." Cody then hops off Cirrus' head like a frog.
L: "Oh! Ha, I wonder if Blubby can do this too? Never seen him try... I'll need to tell him about this!" Cirrus pokes the bubble, making it wobble a little. "Mm, but it's not gonna stay if I change size... Well, you can make more."
H: "Hehe." Cody then heads to explore more of the pool when he discovers a stone podium with a sculpture of a sea dragon raising it. Cody inspects the podium and sculpture as his bubbling nostrils calm down, appreciating it like what you would expect in an art museum.
L: Cirrus looks over the sculpture. "Ha, that dragon looks a little like me! Probably a coincidence, but that's still cool."
H: Cody then swims up to the top of the podium and stands on it with his webbed flippers. He then poses freestyle.
L: After he takes a deep breath, the water clouds around Cirrus again and the bubble floats off his muzzle. When he's visible again, he's even smaller than when he and Cody met, only about 4 inches long. He floats onto Cody's head like they had with him, and smiles.
H: "Hehe." Cody giggles in bubbles, wagging his finned tail happily. He then pets Cirrus with his webbed paw.
L: Cirrus closes his eyes and lets out some bubbles of his own, relaxing on Cody's head.
H: Cody's hair and mane is very fluffy. Cody holds Cirrus comfortably in both arms as he continues to explore the large pool itself. He swims around elegantly like a merfur, letting his mane flow and dance freely below the surface.
There are artificial kelp that feel just like the real ones and a recreational center filled with snooker and football tables as well as tables mearnt for board and card games. There are also holes small volcano-like rocks that generate air bubbles for non-aquatic swimmers to take a breath of relief. Everything down there feels like an aquatic paradise for everyone.
L: "Man, this is WAY better than the other deep pools! I can already tell this one's gonna be my favorite!"
H: Cody, along with Cirrus, continue to explore the pool even more as he flops his flippery paws around. There is an arena that looks like it's supposed to fit a game of underwater Rugby, a maze that looks a lot like the poolrooms you would see on the internet and an section that's "under construction" but will apparently simulate the seafloor according to the sign on the door.
There were also beds lying around the pool, each equipped with bubble volcano rocks just incase.
L: "There just keeps being more stuff down here! Think I want to check out that poolrooms section..." Cirrus leaves Cody's arms and returns to his medium size, getting a breath from one of the bubble vents.
H: "Ok? I'll follow if you don't mind." Cody then follows Cirrus into the Poolrooms maze as he starts kicking his own flippers one by one along with his tail.
L: This doesn't seem to be as many air sources in this area, but with Cody coming with him, Cirrus isn't afraid. "Wonder what sort of cool stuff they're gonna have put in here..."
H: "Hmm, i'm not so sure if there's any in here.."
L: "...Yeah, seems like this might be more for the novelty of it. Or maybe it's new, and they just haven't done much with it. Let's head out of this part, see if there's anything really cool we haven't found yet."
H: "Yeah."
L: Cirrus heads out of the poolrooms section to keep exploring the main areas.
H: Cody swims down and kneels on the tiled floor as he looks at the giant hole of this pool, he continues to blow more bubbles around. "What about the giant hole on the ground?"
L: "Man, there's been so much cool stuff around I totally forgot we haven't gone all the way to the bottom yet! Let's do that next, I want to see just how deep this really is."
H: "Hehe yeah!" After adjusting his cape and brushing his long mane again, Cody struggles to stand on his slippery fanned out flippers before succeding as he prepares to hop off towards the bottom with Cirrus.
L: Cirrus makes sure to descend at the same rate as Cody, happily blowing out some bubbles. Now that there's room, he goes back to his full size again.
H: "On the count of three, we're jumping in". Charging himself, he counts down. "One.. Two... Three..." Cody then sprint jumps off into the bottom using his fins, webbing and flippers at once and leaving behind a trail of bubbles. He also does a vertical spin.
L: Doing a quick bubbly spin of his own, Cirrus follows Cody down, eager to see what the bottom of this place will have.
H: Dolphin kicking his wobbling flexible flippered feet altogether like a dolphin faster than before, he notices the hole extends deeper than what he thought. Never minding his nostrils and mouth forming a giant bubble on his muzzle and face as he descends deeper.
L: "This looks like it's gonna be even deeper than the other deep pools... Not surprised. If you want to hold onto me, I can get us down there a lot faster."
H: "Oh sure, hehe." Cody stops wobbling his flippered paws as he catches up to Cirrus and holds onto him. His face is completely covered in a giant bubble, he doesn't mind it though as he happily giggles.
L: "Hold on tight!" Cirrus quickly accelerates, going down substantially faster than before, but making sure he's not so fast that Cody loses his grip.
H: Cody is thrilled by Cirrus' speed as his cape and mane drifts faster than before but stilll holding tight. His giant bubble on his face quickly growing into a helmet as small bubbles quickly catch up to Cody's fur. The two finally reached the bottom. There's a bed and bubble vent as a checkpoint.
L: While he doesn't really need it, Cirrus breathes from the bubble vent to refill his lungs. "This feels a lot deeper than what those other places have... Is there an indication of the depth somewhere?"
H: Cody hops off Cirrus and into standing on the ground with his webbed kelp-like palettes for feet and looks on the walls. Through his bubble helmet, he can see the wall's sign that says "100ft". "Wow."
He also took notice of his bubble helmet aquiered during all that descending as he holds onto it in amazement, it wobbles a lot. It's also made of water as he continues to blow bubbles inside it happily, kicking his wobbling flippers in joy and waggling his fish tail. He also took notice of the medium-sized bubbles holding onto his fur. "Hehe, what do you think of my helmet?"
L: "Ha, I like it!" Cirrus goes to medium size again and pokes Cody's bubble helmet. "Let's see if we can get it even bigger!" He starts blowing his own bubbles below the helmet so they'll float up to it.
H: Giggling, Cody hovers above the floor still as his bubble grows. His ears unable to contain the submerged happiness he feels.
L: Even though he'd just changed sizes, Cirrus goes back to full size, filling up on air again before blowing way more bubbles to keep growing the one attached to Cody.
H: Eventually, the water bubble became giant enough to contain Cody. The aquatic werewolf feels happy about being in one as he blows some more bubbles around, enjoying himself inside it. He sits within it as he gave a webbed thumbs up to Cirrus and winks.
L: "Haha, nice! Weird that it's not filled with all that air... But that's still pretty cool!" Cirrus refills at the bubble vent, switches to tiny size, and pushes himself against the big bubble with enough force to slip inside of it.
H: "Wait, hold on a sec! I'm also a water bender, I was about to do this next trick, check this out." Using his water bending powers, he shrinks his bubble around him till forming a squeaky layer on his body, a bubble suit to be specific. "Ta-da!"
L: Cirrus ends up pushed out of the bubble as it shrinks. "Oh, cool! I wish I had some kind of power like that, I've met a couple other dragons that do."
H: "Oh, I see." Cody stretches his bubble suit and lets it go as it snaps back in place like if it was rubber, he still blows air bubbles through his nostrils but only inside of his suit. "By the way, what do you think of my bubble suit, hehe?"
L: "It's neat! I like how shiny it looks!" Cirrus pulls on it a little, then lets go to return it to its normal shape again.
H: "Hehe, thanks. Anyway, would you like to relax in here deep with me? The temperature's cool but warm at the same time." Cody sits in front of the tiled wall. He blows more bubbles from his nostrils but they escape out of his reflective bubble suit, he doesn't mind.
L: "Sure! It IS pretty nice down here, huh?" Cirrus goes to middle size again and lays down on the bed. "Seems a little weird to me that there's beds underwater in this place, but that must be for people that can breathe underwater."
H: "And probably also for non-gill people judging by the bubble vents lying around next to the beds. Anyway, like to sleep in there?" Cody plays around with his bubbles and shiny webbed flippered paws.
L: "I mean, I can hold my breath long enough for a short nap... Maybe you could make your bubble suit big enough for both of us? Wouldn't have to be all that big, I can shrink again if you want."
H: "Well... my bubble suit is techinically made out of water, I can make it to air if you like." Cody, kicking his squeakily shiny webbed flippers altogether once again, swims over to the submerged bed.
L: "Yeah, that'd be good. Don't want to end up drowning in my sleep, heh..."
H: "Alrighty!" Cody smiles as he absorbs his bubble suit, wrapping tightly on his body before it pops itself, freeing his drifting brown fur. He then blows a new bubble around his neck, creating a comfortable, wobbly collar. "This is my favorite bubble shape to relax in but I'll turn it into a bubble suit for two right away, hehe."
L: "Nice, I bet that's gonna be perfect once it's done!"
H: Using his waterbending powers, Cody spreads his bubble collar all around himself and stretches it to form a new shiny air bubble suit with extra space for one more. "Done!" Cody happily cheered.
L: Cirrus pushes his way into the bubble and experimentally takes a careful breath, happy to find that he can breathe just fine. "Man, I don't think even Blubby can do this!"
H: "Hehe, welcome to the bubble." Cody bleps playfully as he tucks himself in the underwater bed, still in his aquatic form.
L: Staying above the blankets for fear of his spikes tearing them, Cirrus floats down onto his belly, smiling at Cody. "This is really cool, we're dry so far underwater!"
H: "Hehe," Cody smiles as he wags his shiny fish tail, "so umm what do you think of this place so far?"
L: "Oh, this is absolutely one of the coolest underwater places I've seen, and I've been almost everywhere on Earth! I can't believe we just happened across this!"
H: "I thought so too, can't wait for the sea section to be opened. Btw, how did you find your way to the human world?"
L: "I... You know, I've never actually known. Dragons like me aren't a thing here, and the very first thing I remember is being alone in a forest. If I have parents, I don't know who they are, it's like I just... Started existing."
H: "Huh, I see. Sounds like you don't remember."
L: "Yeah, I wish I did, but I've been trying to find out my origin for centuries now. I don't think it's going to happen..."
H: "I think you will find where you came from someday, there's always still hope, I promise. If you like, we can investigate it together. Anyway, i'm heading to sleep now. Good night, Cirrus." Cody optimistically replied. He then pets Cirrus on the head with his dried webbed paw before falling asleep, still with a smile on his face. His fish tail curled in front of him as he sleeps like a dog.
L: Cirrus smiles, then closes his eyes, soon falling asleep as well.
H: Upon waking up in the morning, the two swam back to the surface and out of the pool with Cody returning back to his original form. They said their goodbyes to each other with a satisfied expression on their muzzles. The "Waterscape Utopia" Megapool project was a success thanks to these two beta test candidates with the promise of bringing another to visit the pool! The company who oversees the project is working very hard on the Deep Sea simulation area currently, aswell as initiating the proposal to discover how to recreate aquatic transformations (as demostrated in today's test log) and finding the secret ingredients to generate oxygen-rich water for future candidates to breathe in future pools!
