A small explosion occurred in the watery grotto, sending a multitude of bubbles rocketing up to the surface. A maroon-tailed merman careened out of the explosion, spinning a little bit from the momentum. He flailed his tail automatically to remain upright. Riku squinted. The blueness of the world around him gave him a pounding headache, he observed while shielding his eyes from the sun high above. His silver locks waved in the ocean current, as he stared confusedly around him to figure out where he was. Only a minute earlier, he could have sworn he was lying in bed and dozing off. This was bizarre.. This vision(?) was too vivid to be a dream, and too unreal to be reality.

The teenager awoke, bubbles tickling at face and exposed neck as he came around. Edmy's mouth parted in slight confusion, franticlly flailing as he realized it was water around him. He connected the dots as a lengthy and ribbed fin fluttered under him, in a dazzling rainbow of blue and gold. This couldn't of been where him and Melody had been heading, could it...? The boy only made it a few inches forward with his merman flails, stopping as he suddenly caught glance of silver amungst the colorful coral. He ran a hand through his own hair shakily, observing that the boy seemed almost confused as him, but he didnt bother to speak up.

Riku was made aware of another presence behind him, and kicked his fin awkwardly to turn around to face the newcomer. His sapphire and gold tail put Riku's, a dull maroon, to shame, as it glinted spectacularly in the refracted light from the surface. Lacking anything to do but stare, Riku did just that. His voice seemed to have curled up and died.

Edmy's arms crossed protectivly across his chest, his aqua eyes showing slight anxitey. New people wern't on his list of enjoyment after a chain of recent events, but seeing how the younger boy seemed meeker than him from this point, he relaxed. ".. m'mm, yo?", he greated akwardly, wondering if the silver boy was that cold not to greet him, or that flabbergasted by the situation like he was. For gods sake, [In Edmy's terms] they were practicly bare, in a freezing ocean.

Riku continued to stare. He was stuck here, in the middle of the godforsaken ocean, with a merman's tail and a guy who spoke like a gangster. He was doomed. "....Hey." He gave a little wave, then cocked his head to the side. "What brings you here?.. And for that matter, where IS here?"

Edmy just nodded as the boy spoke. His tail flailed underneath him, a vain attempt to figure out how to move. "No clue...", he responded softly, lifting his hands slightly and shrugging. Suddenly he made a small gasping sound, flailing widly as he tried to upright decently enough to examine his left hand. Nothing. No scar, no open wound, no stitches... The dirty blonde's free-hand stoked lightly at his ribs. No bruise, no broken bones, no pain.. "I really want to know what the fuck tis place is though. So, um yeah."

"So.. now what?" Riku flipped his tail experimentally and was propelled forward a couple of inches. "Hmm. First of all, I THINK we need to learn how to move."

Edmy grunted in response, watching the younger flutter. After a moments he took a deep breath, moving slightly himself. Ugh, tougher than walking easier than running. He managed to decend slightly to the silver-boy's level, holding out a thin hand experimentally, trying not to wobble as he felt the push of the currents. The-- his -- tail waved behind him, and his lowered hand brushed the jelly-fish like ribs. 'Flexible, and squishy', he mused mentally."Edmy."

Riku observed the other's - Edmy's - maneuver, copying it to move closer to his hand. He clasped it in his own. "Riku. Now where the hell are we?" His eyebrows furrowed in frustration.

Edmy smiled politely, bring his hand back down. As he turned around, he tried not to lash the other with his tail and was muaws that he managed not to do so. Slowly his gaze difted up, taking in the rippling water above them. "...Under the sea?", and at those words the clam shella that were only a few tail lengths below exploded open in a bubbling frenzy, a vibrant tune escaping. Slightly spooked Edmy flailed, rocking in the water, trying to avoid Riku as he steadied. He failed at this, and in a sense of panic wrapped his arms around the youngers neck. "W-what... the.. f-fuck."

Riku flinched as the song attacked his ears, and he could have sworn they were bleeding a bit. Of course, Edmy had to cling onto his neck, effectively choking him and adding to his worsening temper. Riku flailed, trying to detach the hyperventilating person off of his body.

As Riku wiggled beneath him, he detached. He made a soft noise in apology, moving only about a few tail lengths away, too spooked to adventure much further on his own. The dirty blonde chewed on his lower lip, slightly tempted to udder the words again to see what would happen, but reafrained. Cocking his head to the side, he ran a hand through his faux-hawk, smiling sheepishly. "Can't get more specific than in a body water off the top of my head.."

Riku was tempted. Very, very tempted. He waved a shoe at the mental temptation fairies, but to no avail. "Under the sea!" He was going to be shot. He knew it.

"Holy fuck!," Edmy yelped, flailing in the water as the ocean floor beneath them seemed to explode in a bubbled mass, colorful singing fish wiggling between the little gas pockets. He managed as best he could to hide away from the outburst of life, sinking low to the ground shoulders hunched. "Fucking innnssaannneee..." he whined softly to himself, trying to curl his tail slightly around him with no luck.

"Sorry.." Riku apologized. He felt he owed Edmy that, for scaring the living shit out of him again. However, he did not navigate towards Edmy to comfort him - he wasn't that touchy-feely. "So.. really.. now what?" Riku stared around himself impatiently, as if waiting for a clue or a sign.
