As a girl of the deep sea // Introduction // I'm sinking at my own will.

The sea was dark at the bottom, lonely and cold. Deepsea had named himself after his home, his way of life, who he was. He had been a cold and lonely being in the sea, the white feline always staying to himself, sinking deeper with time. Eventually he found the bottom, and above the water he could hear voices. Rough voices that spoke of words he did not understand. It had always intrigued the feline as he had never spoke before. Swimming up, but not too close to surface, he had caught sight of something, and his heart started to beat.

That life changing moment was days ago, and Deepsea had been building up the courage to emerge from his home. The comforting dark of the sea would be missed, but he was ready for the bright colors and warmth of the world above. What he saw was his true love, or something that resembled them. Whatever it was, it had given the feline emotions. He was now ready. Swimming up faster and faster, he gained the heart not to sink any further, and emerged from the sea with a great splash. Sea foam green eyes stared at the world before him, taking in every rich color that wasn't blue. Landing on the beach, Deepsea had coughed and heaved until his body adjusted to the oxygen in the air around him.

This was a new world, a new life, a new him.

//Hiya! I hope this was an okay joining post!

These faces and different creatures forming around him was exciting, but none were the one he had saw from below. That was disappointing. Nonetheless, Deepsea would try to answer their questions. Or what he assumed was a question. The way it tipped at the end of their sentences made it seem so. "W....wa- ter......?" That was what the essence of his home was? How would he describe it? It was a void almost. "D..a..r..k..." Speaking was new to the feline, so it took him a while to figure out what these words were and how he should say them.

Another question this time came from a different animal. Many of the new colors reflected in his vision had been a joyous sight, along with fresh faces that were not of the aquatic species. The beach before him was made of sand, something at the bottom of his home. It was soft and comforting to sleep in, cool in the ocean but warm on land. This whole world was beautiful so far. Getting distracted from the question, the male focused back onto Sel and answered in a rather weird way, by taking a while to pronounce everything. "N..na- me...be...Deeeeeeeps- s- ea..." that was his name, right? A name was something you used to call someone, right? All of these questions didn't seem to fit in this situation, and he would have to ask about his grammar later.

"Neeeeeed pla-..aceeee, to..o... sta..a..y" Now that Deepsea had left his home, there was no where else for him to be. Even with all of his curiosity of the land and creatures on it, he still loved the ocean. The pale feline had also noticed a third creature approach, this time being a rather small one. She had called something towards the group, to which he thought was a greeting, but didn't know what to say back. Looking in his mind-list of words he knew, none of them were for a response to a greeting.
