[Haha,] It's the same for human beings. When you really feel thirsty, it's already past the point where you needed water. It's pretty easy to get mildly dehydrated actually.

Neither did I. I'm a whole turtle, I don't think anyone thought it was possible.

It's not really a home but it's nice to sleep in at least. It's cozy.

that's a good thing to know. i don't think taking a bath can help a normal human, though.

that's really neat! i really don't know what to do about my tail... i tried taking a bath again and it seems longer now. i don't think that's how it's supposed to be. i like it, though. i feel like i can give a really good hug with it.

[That's... kinda weird, Yuuna, but you do you.]

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

Probably not, at least not the way it helps 'mer'.

Likewise though you probably can't expect a bath to work for a 'mer' very long- you wouldn't keep a dolphin in a bathtub right?

[um]

A hug with your tail?

<Gyuuki>

[tastefulheroism]

i feel like i wouldn't do well in open water yet. i don't even have gills. :( it feels very mean.

[Young lady, is this what you should be worried about?]

if i'm going to be stuck in water a lot... why not? that way i can hug my friends better.

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

You wouldn't have to go far from shore though right?

Are you sure you don't have them? They don't always look like you expect. Mine are just spiracles.

[uh]

Fish normally can't move in a way that lets you hug like that exactly. Maybe an eel though? Or some sort of sea snake?

<Gyuuki>

[tastefulheroism]

but it's no fun if i can't go out more than i normally could.

i've tried going underwater and i can't breathe. ): i think i don't have them yet -- what's a spiracle

[Look.]

i think i might be part eel... it's really long? and keeps growing. it doesn't really move like what i think a normal fish does, either.

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

What stops you from that though? Even if you can't breathe underwater, your body is more adapted to swimming right? So you'd be able to stay afloat a lot longer as well.

[uh] It's like a hole.

Eel makes sense then. If you were a sea snake I wouldn't be able to say if you'd get gills or not. Turtles and sea snakes both need air to breathe, so they just surface for that normally, it's not the same as with 'mer'.

Eels have round gills that are pretty similar to spiracles, so maybe you'll get those though?

<Gyuuki>

[tastefulheroism]

it is but i guess i'm really tempted to go in deep water but it's annoying that i can't hold my breath? it's silly, really, but i hope that it changes.

oh! i guess that makes sense. haha, sorry... i just never heard that word before. that could be pretty cool, actually. either way i just wonder how long i'm going to be.

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

You mean you have a dive instinct?

However long it is, it's almost definitely going to be more than a bathtub. You should probably try to be careful.

<Gyuuki>

[tastefulheroism]

maybe? i think it's more like... i keep thinking that things seem too bright? that maybe dark, deep water would be better.

[Away from the sun. Dark and deep. Deep under the sea, for example... ...the instincts of a deep sea-dwelling fish are hard to ignore.]

yeah i think i need to find something better soon.

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

Maybe a cave that boats can enter?

I think there's at least one here.

<Gyuuki>

[tastefulheroism]

that could be cool! i kind of want to stay in bavan somehow... there's a lot of people that need help...

maybe i can find a park with a pond? but that wouldn't be very deep.

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

I know it can't be Central Park. It's a mess there.

There should be at least one park where you could pull it off though- some ponds even have synthetic caves, which could offer shade properly.

<Gyuuki>

[tastefulheroism]

if i have to, i'll go back to that pool we arrived in. that should be long enough. haha...

i'll try looking. bavan's bigger than any city i've been in, so it should have at least one more park. i've been exploring a bit.

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

That's probably not a great idea.

It definitely has more than one. I've been to at least two. I could help look?

<Gyuuki>

[tastefulheroism]

if you can keep an eye out, i'd appreciate it!

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

Got it, I'll let you know.

I guess hang in there until then?

I really wish I had better advice.
