The ocean is a dangerous place. There is no telling what could be just below the surface. The most beautiful tend to be the most deadly.

The new student was from the far north and had migrated to warmer tides. Yuu wrapped themselves in thick pale fur coats that outlined the choker that kept their form in check. They could only attend NRC properly with their size shrunken. Yuu's species in human form was still well other 12 feet so the choker was necessary. It wasn't given by the headmaster however, it was a from their very own headwarden.

Yuu had heard of someone who could help them look less like a whale among guppies. Sticking out like a sore thumb wasn't comfortable for someone used to being small compared to the rest of their pod.

Azul made a deal they couldn't refuse as they offered a place working at the lounge in exchange for the collar. Perhaps it was naivety that made them agree. So the parka was traded for the silvery colors of the Monstro Lounge.

They fit the lounge quite well. Yuu had a wide toothy smile that wasn't unlike the twins. But unlike the eels, their eyes were a calming coal-black color.

Azul has a new worker. One he was very proud of because they found him not the other way around.

They were very endearing to the customers who found them cute or entertaining. Softly cooing to them, balancing dishes, and performing shows for customers.

They were very affectionate with the twins when the lounge was empty. Nuzzling them gently only to turn on them and using their teeth to nip them. The tweels gave no sign of hating it, in fact, they loved it.

Azul's new worker was his most prized position and was stationed at his side during deals. At first, it was a mystery why but after someone was foolish enough to cross Azul the truth was revealed.

The student was dragged deep into the ocean only to be tossed out with a swing of a powerful tail. He was batted around like a cat toy as the orca played its favorite game. The ocra dragged the student through the rushing water until their victim was exhausted before leaving their victim at the shore.

People forget that the orca is one of the most dangerous predators in the ocean. The half-eaten shark carcasses they share for lunch were a sign. Most would stare when they ripped their food apart to share with their friends.

Floyd enjoyed the view when Yuu put him on their shoulder like he was kidnapped by a kaiju. He also would use their mer form as a slide when above water. His own personal playground.

Jade found Yuu's "gifts" of dead animals flattering. He learned that orca are the natural predators of moose. The moose was missing a large chunk of its belly though.

Most also wonder how Azul felt safe around a beast like that. The truth was that the octopus was too wrapped up in the beauty of his find.

Their mer form was too distracting. The black and white pattern to their soft matching streaked hair. Azul never felt safer when all three of them can rest curled up in surrounded by the hold of their whale friend.
