The girl watches as the small moth dips into the pool, creating a small ripple effect that lasts one second. She reaches her hand out for the cute, fluffy creature, hoping to hold it in her hands. "Hello there..." She says softly, quiet enough for someone across from her to barely hear.

The moth lands in her hands and shakes its fluffy body. Its antennae perk up as it looks up at the strange girl. Hello! A cheerful voice comes from the moth. It's female and cheery, with as much energy as its mothy body has.

*A snorkeling pipe pops out of the water*

A young man is walking around the town as per usual while looking down at his phone, lost in thought with a pair of earphones on. He almost literally stumbles into the scene, taking off his earphones. Hm?

*Jumps out of the water and onto Rom, wearing a scuba outfit* HEY ROM!

A hooded young man walks through the night. The cool air and bright moon giving him an ideal environment to do some thinking as he strolls around another location that is unknown to him. As he walks around, the sound of water rippling catches his attention. The young man would turn to find the source of the noise, a figure and a moth by the water's edge. With a soft smile, hidden by his hood, the young man would approach the figure and speak as to not overly startle them. Beautiful night out, isn't it? A wonderfully peaceful reprieve. May I? Now next to the figure, he'd pull off his hood and motion to a space beside the girl.

Oh, so many people! I'd greet you all but... I gotta go! The moth flies off in search of the moon...

Her eyes widen in surprise as the moth speaks. She smiles, petting its small body of fluff. "T-That was a little unexpected... Nice to m-meet you." The girl stops her petting for a moment, looking at the pikachu jump out and speak to the newcomer.

What the...?! The man instinctively puts his hands in front of him, pushing Pika back forcefully. S-Sorry, Pika... Don't scare me like that.

OOF! Ugh... Don't worry, I'm used to physical trauma. *Notices the girl* Hey there!

The girl turns to the hooded man. She nods. "Go a-ahead, I don't mind.." She then turns to the pikachu, giving a small wave of acknowledgement to it.

So, Pika. What were you doing underwater anyway? Rom looks back at his phone for a moment, sighing deeply.

The man's face now fully revealed, he smiles at the girl. He crosses his legs as he sits beside the girl, staring at the water. My name is Jace by the way. Pleased to make your acquaintance! The man would raise his right arm and focus on the water for a few moments before speaking again. So, I know this might sound odd, but what is this place?

"That's a n-nice name. I'm J-Jormungand, but you can c-call me Jory.." The girl looks up at the moon once again, taking time to think of an explanation. "This place is a pool, I f-found it while looking a-around the area. Now, I live here, usually sleeping at the b-bottom."

I was just, looking for stuff...

The man brings his right hand to his chin and nods. Right, right...wait...the bottom? He'd put his arm back to his side and look at the girl, studying her almost. Hmmm? Pardon my rudeness Jory, I've just never seen a being like yourself. I've met merfolk, but you seem different. He tries to mask his analytical nature with another smile.

The girl continues gazing at the moon for some time. She looks back at Jace, seemingly not noticing his odd nature and smiles back, blushing lightly. "W-Well.... I'm an incarnation of a s-snake, a gigantic one.. If that h-helps you understand me better..."

Jace leans back on his arms as he looks up to the moon, thinking on Jory's explanation. I've never heard of a story quite like that during my journey throughout the multiverse. But it's rather funny, don't you think? He stifles a laugh as he turns his head towards the girl. A fantastically large snake is reborn as a small girl! But don't misunderstand, I'm sure you and your past self are quite the forces to be reckoned with! I apologize if that came off as rude. He looks back up at the moon with a soft smile. A behemoth of a snake, huh? What a fantastical world I've stumbled into!

*a ship flies overhead and a robed wizard with robotic legs teleports out of the ship* This is interesting. Feeling the essence of a Ahamkara.

"A story..? I can agree, it is f-funny." Jory giggles, a second later her laughs cut off by a yawn. "P-People say I'm strong.. But that's only w-when I'm fully awake." Her head drops down, looking at the pool's still water with half-shut eyes. "You w-weren't rude at all.. And this world is f-fantastical, I guess..." She yawns again, sleepily mumbling something incoherent. Seemingly tired, Jory doesn't seem to notice the wizard that has come by.

*he walks up to the pool of water* This is quite fascinating.

Noticing the presence of another being, Jace becomes slightly tense. However he continues speaking as to not worry the girl who didn't notice the new arrival. He turns his head back to Jory. Only when you're awake, hm? Would water have anything to do with that? Does it act as a sort of medium to obtain energy? If so, I'm similar to you in that regard. The man sits up straight and extends a hand out to the water. After a few moments of silence, small particles of blue begin rising from the water and swirling around Jace's hand.

"N-No, I just prefer being underwater.. Don't want to d-disturb people..." The girl looks in awe as the particles swirl around Jace's hand. Her eyes open slightly wider to see the small event happening next to her. "W-Whoa.. That's amazing, I've n-never seen something like that before..."

Is walking by the pool Wow....... So pretty...... Notices jormungand Hi there!

Jace closes his eyes as the particles fly off of his hand and back into the water. Still clearly focused, he speaks. Mana. A facet of all worlds to some degree, and my source of power. There comes a small blue flash from under the water. Jace smiles as large blue eel breaches the water and begins floating in the air. It swims through the air elegantly before nuzzling Jace. With mana, I can call upon different styles of magic. Such as this little guy for example. The wispy, blue eel floats towards Jory slowly as to not startle or frighten the girl.

Jory waves at Ina, looking as the eel emerges from the water and to her. In her current sleepy state, she doesn't seem to be scared by the eel. "Mana. Interesting..." Speaking with the little energy she has, the girl smiles at both Jace and Ina before diving into the water and sleeping peacefully at the bottom.

Jace rises from the ground and pats the phantasm on the head. Watch over her, just until she wakes up. The eel would dance around Jace before returning to the pool, just below the surface. Clearly people here are strong...but I hope I can do something before they arrive. Wait a second...that's it! The man raises his hood once again as he sets off to leave. On his way out of the area, he'd give an absent minded wave to the strangers he hadn't met.
