Sunshine & Sea Salt

Calli: HIIII!

Manu: suddenly it all makes sense.

Manu: i'm in Auradon City at the moment.

Manu: trying to decide my life and all that shit.

Calli: I suffered through chlorine last year. I was not about to do it again.

Calli: YAY! We should do something!!

Calli: Oh, right, you have to go be an adult now. Hmm, have you thought about seeing if you could get a job with the kingdom? I imagine they need Environmental Engineers.

Manu: are you even going to survive being so far away from your favorite ocean again?

Manu: suddenly you being on the swim team makes extra sense.

Calli: I am literally drying up as we speak.

Calli: yup, its also why I campaigned and got them to switch to a salt water pool this year. With the help of a generous donation from my parents.

It was easy enough to brainstorm proposal ideas during the day, Kaela and Siren’s schedules hardly linked up, and if she had any sense, Siren would be catching up on sleep before the busy night at the club ahead of her, what with all the travelling of outsiders to Auradon City. Instead, she fueled herself with coffee after coffee and opened her email to be informed that, no, as a matter of fact, magic carpets were not rent-able. “Well, fuck” Siren murmured to herself as she set her phone down on the table in defeat, not even taking note of the audience she’d had. @callistatriton

“You don’t look happy,” slipped from the blonde’s lips as she made her way towards Siren. It wasn’t often that she got to see the other women. Manu and she were always in the middle of the ocean. It didn’t really lend itself to family visits. So she figured she would take the time to come see the women. Who was pretty much family while Manu took the kids on an adventure. “Anything I can help with?” was added genuinely as she slowly lowered herself down into the chair next to her. Mentally repeating the “I will not give birth until I’m back on the rig.” mantra she’d been saying since they made it back to shore. “I’ve been known to be pretty helpful,” was added with a big smile.

After graduating, Callista spent a year working on the Arcana, a marine biology research vessel off the coast of Sea Side. With the help of her mentors, family and like-minded friends. The Altum Project was born. The Project focused on marine research as well as environmental conservations. It was presented to all the Kingdoms as an initiative to better understand the ecosystem of the oceans as well as work to improve the way people interact with nature and its creatures.  

With the aid of Manu Nautilus, Her sister, Aria Triton, as well as Support for King Mitchell. The Altum Project has flourished into a fully functional Ocean research facility. The facility is completely self-sustained and resides off the shores of Auradon in the deep of the ocean. The only way to reach it is by boat or helicopter.

Callista and Manu live on and run the facility fulltime. While Aria, usually takes point of the political aspects of the Projects.

Adelaide: at this point i am ready to hide his body.

Adelaide: but i also think there will be no doubt as to who did it...

Adelaide: my displeasure has been heard.....

Adelaide: uuuuuuuuugh

Lista: I mean, we're both rich enough we could pay someone to do it.

Lista: So I was thinking about going out tonight. I feel like dancing.

if he focused, for just a moment, he could only hear the sounds of the ocean. it was one of things he could easily admit was something he enjoyed about being off the isle. don’t get it wrong, Manu enjoyed swimming with the sharks as much as the rest of them but there was something about the complete and open freedom of it all. he could feel the ocean in his fucking bones. even with the fact that he was forced to seaside with the Triton’s, it was probably the most calm he could ever really remember being. feeling a presence near him, he cracked an eye open and found Callista coming his way. “don’t tell me.” he began as he let his eye fall closed again. “you have an adventure planned.” not that he was against one but sometimes it was nice just to, soak up the sun on a day off. @callistatriton

Beach days were a constant for Callista. She was either laying in the sand all day or swimming off to the little islands off the coast. Either way, she made sure to spend as much time near the ocean as possible. Especially knowing that only in a short time she would be back in Auardon City. A smile broke on to her lips when she was greeted by her new favorite ocean adventure partner. “No,” she hummed as she plopped down in the sand next to him. “I plan on becoming one with this beach. We can have an adventure tomorrow,” was added as she laid back to mimic his position. “Unless you were just dying to go on one, then I am sure I can come up with something.” turning her head she offered him a playful little grin. 

F: Orion; this is a bit unfair since I’ve already done so. But it was fun so I don’t mind doing it again. 

M: Manu; I feel like we have a lot of the same interests when it comes to the ocean and environment so it would work out well. plus... he would be a great trophy husband. 

Kiss: Siren; so I would kiss her and probably F* her too. But since I only had K left I have to put her here. I like her a lot though she is fun to hang out with. 

F: Clara; I don’t know her to well. But she’s cute. So i mean why wouldn’t i be willing. 

M: Riley; because she is wonderful and she would be an amazing wife. 

Kiss: Ela; also don’t know her too well but again pretty girl. why not.

F: Mitch; i mean.. have you seen him. He looks like he’d be fun. 

M: Orion; we always have a good time together so I feel like we could make our life together fun and chill. 

Kiss: Tristan; he is cute and I feel like it would be an enjoyable kiss. 

“Umm... Atlantica of course. My life long dream is to finally be a mermaid and rule over my grandfather’s people. Even if I would have to somehow get rid of my bazillion cousins.”
