Muscle Monday
Show me your strength selfies!
Or just your selfies.
It's so boring here! Lets entertain each other so we don't die of boredom.

(It should be noted, naturally, that this picture would be taken in the water and with the merman's massive red/gold/yellow tail. But look at that bicep. I couldn't crop the picture and miss the arm and the weights!!)

	i can see you are a creature of the ocean (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Born and raised in the deep blue! I've only been on land a handful of times when the island felt so gracious as to give me legs. It doesn't bother me much, but here's it's getting a little stifling. These tunnels and tanks are only so big, even on the aquadecks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	These tanks are an insult. They want to be the ocean but they are a mere pond. Where are you from, mer? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Insult is putting it lightly! You can call me Rohan! I'm from the island, the place most of us lived before this ship. It doesn't really have a name, just the island. I guess you didn't get to see it? That's such a shame since it was so beautiful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	squidgod 2018-02-05 02:29 pm UTC (link)
	i did not. What creatures inhabited the oceans there? which gods created them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_rohan_ 2018-02-05 02:38 pm UTC (link)
	I'd say your usual marine life but given we come from different places those could be vastly different ideas. Plenty of fish species, shark, whale, everything that goes into a coral reef, etc! Some think The Girl and The Man that rule the island are gods. I don't know about that, but they're definitely mighty. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	squidgod 2018-02-05 02:42 pm UTC (link)
	Who are these two? Did they create this island? are they still around? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Very hard questions to answer, my man. They are.........we believe they are the magic users that make things happen on the island. My mysterious, randomly given legs? Their doing. Probably. I don't have proof. It's just a suspicion. And I've been told The Man is dead now, had his skeleton ripped out or something. Nasty. I don't know what happened to The Girl but I'd say she's fine since we're Here? It's all kind of.....vague. I honestly never questioned our life on the island before. It was blissful.

	I am new here. I have many questions. Thank you for answering them. how did this god man die? Was he killed by another god? Did The Girl kill him? what gods do you believe in? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'll do my best! Sorry you got sucked in at the worst damn time. I hope we get back to the island so you can see the ocean. It's superb.

I heard that Katherine killed him. I heard there was an uprising and anyone that could fight went to tear The Man down. I don't know a lot about Katherine but Cris tells me she's partially a god since her pops is Loki.

Faith is a weird thing for me. My father is from a place called Miromara, same as Cris, and they believe in the goddess Merrow of the sea. The island doesn't have a lot of strict religions or establishments, so I kind of lean toward old sailor's tales of the sea but I don't know if I'd say I pray. Never got on my fishy knees or anything like that.

	it cannot be better than my ocean. i think i have met her. she lives with this Rhysund? the things i have heard of Loki are not good. he is not even loved among his own pantheon. would you believe in a god if you met one? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_rohan_ 2018-02-05 03:09 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, that's her. I mean...I guess if you meet a god it's hard to deny they exist at that point. Not that I'm saying they don't exist since Loki and Thor were here and I know they're gods. But they're not my gods? I don't know. I don't talk a lot about this kind of stuff, I'm sorry I'm not more articulate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	squidgod 2018-02-05 03:14 pm UTC (link)
	then which gods would you find worth worshipping? what is your god? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_rohan_ 2018-02-05 03:22 pm UTC (link)
	Oh. I walked into that one. I don't know. Maybe a god that is...fuck I don't know how to talk about this. Uh. Like what they stand for? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	squidgod 2018-02-05 03:28 pm UTC (link)
	that you did, mer! what about the ocean? is that worth worshipping? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_rohan_ 2018-02-05 03:36 pm UTC (link)
	The ocean is my home and I care about it far more than any land mass by comparison. But do you worship an ocean? Is that like hippies worshiping the trees? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	squidgod 2018-02-05 03:40 pm UTC (link)
	where i am from, I am the ocean. i do not worship myself. there is no point. it is also not like hippies worshipping trees. Trees do not grant strength from belief, I do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_rohan_ 2018-02-05 03:48 pm UTC (link)
	No. No. No. No. Rewind. Backspace. Undo. Escape. You did not preface this conversation that you were a god and now I am eternally ashamed of my responses! That is a hustle! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	squidgod 2018-02-05 03:54 pm UTC (link)
	yes, that is because i am a god. i have learned that mortals are more truthful when they do not know what you are (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_rohan_ 2018-02-05 03:58 pm UTC (link)
	That makes sense but now I feel like a dope! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	squidgod 2018-02-05 04:02 pm UTC (link)
	i do not object to that. i merely object to this place. it is void of belief. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_rohan_ 2018-02-05 04:03 pm UTC (link)
	It is void of a lot of things, I'm afraid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	squidgod 2018-02-05 04:05 pm UTC (link)
	yes. if I still had my full strength, this place would be an ocean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_rohan_ 2018-02-05 04:08 pm UTC (link)
	That does sound nice. So what is it you, uh, stand for? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	squidgod 2018-02-05 04:13 pm UTC (link)
	i am the ocean. i am magic. i am the guardian of the dead whose realm lies beneath the ocean. if you still feel bad, leave me a token. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
