"Welcome, to the underwater sea castle, Oceanus."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You walk through a dimly-lit and lengthy hallway, holding your breath a little. Upon seeing a small flicker, a shine of light ahead, you begin to run towards it. It isn't long before you find yourself in a large room. There are six doors in this room, each very interesting and unique. You stand for a moment, contemplating your decision carefully, when you see one door in particular. It's frame is in the shape of white water swirls adorned with two shimmering golden fish and a single crab. This particular door piques your interest not only because of the frame, but because it appears to be a swirling watery vortex that would probably kill you.

However, based on the circumstances, you dare to believe that it won't *really* kill you and run through the water. When you reopen your eyes, you find a large room in front of you. A grand chandelier, mixed of blues and greens with hints of pinks and decorated with the most gorgeous sea shells is hanging above you in the center of the room. The walls are painted in ravishing colors, murals of sea life decorating every wall. You turn around to see the vortex, but instead your eyes fall on a magnificent throne. Upon seeing the throne adorned with colorful gemstones, embedded with seashells and dangling strings of pearls hanging off it, you suddenly realize that you are in an empty palace.

Where was everyone? You turn back around to see a pair of doors opened out wards, facing a sandy white beach. A smile creeps on your face as you rush out. The glaring sun blinds you temporarily, but when you look again, you see a woman standing in front of you looking out across the beach. She's wearing a short yet flowing gown with a long sash tied around her waist as well as a crown on her short, off-white hair. A man stands close by to her, a hand on his visible sword. You feel a little worried now and considering heading back until the lady turns around. She has a bright smile, but her eyes remain shut. You also notice that her bangs are a different color...maybe turquoise? Odd...

"Oh hello there! I'm so glad you've decided to visit. Please feel free to enjoy your time at Prince Cancer's and my Beach Party!" Wait, Prince... Cancer? As in that crab from the zodiac? "Queen Pisces, you need to introduce yourself," the prince says. Q-queen... Pisces? Wait, Pisces is *two* fish isn't it?

"Oh right, right! Thanks Cancer! You've saved me again. Sorry about that. I'm Queen Pisces! Nice to meet you. Oh, this is Prince Cancer, but don't be put off by his attitude, he's like that with just about everyone. Oh! One moment."

She walks back into the castle and calls for two people who's names you don't quite catch. Soon enough she is joined by two females, one absolutely gorgeous and the other with ears like a wolf.

"These are our other two hosts, Andromeda and Canis Minor!"

Each gives their respective bow and Pisces smiles. "Aren't they just the greatest? Oh, I forgot. It's best to tell you this now, but the forest on the other side of the island is off-limits! The animals in there are very dangerous. They don't ever come on the beach though so you should be fine staying here. Okay! Have fun now!" You walk a good three steps before she yells out again. "Oh wait!! I forgot again sorry, but...

Welcome to Oceanus!"

Setting:

An Underwater Castle, Oceanus.

A beautiful and majestic underwater castle, Oceanus is a lively environment filled with sea creatures who act as servants. Octopi chefs who make many wonderful dishes, dolphins who serve as representatives of the seven seas, sea stars who act as maids or butlers; even sharks help protect the castle. Though Pisces never asked, all of the creatures under the sea wanted to be acknowledged and appreciated by their Queen; even the tiniest of shrimp and the biggest of whales. Not like Pisces minded in the least bit. She enjoyed the gossip that her fellow fish would bring to entertain her and met many of her subjects. After all, a ruler could get very lonely without her lovely subjects.

An Exotic Island, Katsudo.

An odd little island that was removed from maps simply because of the danger within the eerie forest that crescents the island in the shape of the moon. Being a "tough guy," Cancer loved it and claimed the island as his own. Naturally, no one apposed. So long as there was no trouble, all would be alright. Though, Cancer never watched over the island... until Pisces approached him with her idea. It's name Katsudo appropriately means activities.

Plot summary:

The grand Underwater Sea Castle stays underwater most of the time, but every 100 years, the castle rises above water for cleaning. After all, Queen Pisces hates having algae swimming through her halls while her guests are around. This year as the Zodiac fight, Queen Pisces has joined with the wonderful Cancer and agreed to host a most spectacular beach party on Cancer's exotic tropical island, one no Gaian has ever seen before! So, the Underwater Sea Castle of Queen Pisces has risen for the three day event, promoting a fun time on a bright tropical island that Cancer proudly calls his own. Enjoy swimming in the sea, playing in the sand, exploring the vast island or exploring the wonders of the grand palace as it floats in the water. There will be plenty of fun activities and a massive cake made by Queen Pisces herself: Coral Sponge Cake with Sea-foam frosting! It would be silly not to come by!

[Akari Arima]

Meet our lovely constellations. The main hosts of this room are Pisces and Cancer, who are the royal heirs of Oceanus. There are those that will do whatever it takes to protect or plot against the castle. It will be up to you to decide which side you're on!

Queen Pisces: Played by Lucky Pink Wings

Modern day Pisces is the high queen of the seas. She rules with an iron fist charged with the electric blessings of one of her planets, Jupiter. Rather than being two fish, however, Queen Pisces is one... but more bipolar to make up for it. She still has a sash tied around her tail, but in her human form, it is simply tied to her gallant dress. Her bipolar attitude is caused by the two planets she is under, Jupiter and Neptune. Whenever Queen Pisces is under Neptune, she is much more graceful and calm. It helps that the event has been scheduled during this time. She firmly believes that Cancer is worried for nothing. After all, when your two elements are water and electricity, it would be foolish to try and rebel, isn't that right?

Prince Cancer: Played by Dai Eden

Hello, I'm Dai! This will be my first time ever being a second-in-command of a room and I'm very excited how this year's ball will turn out! Now for the little thing you should know about Prince Cancer: Prince Cancer has a semi-distant personality. He prefers to be independent and thinks of himself a good example because of his "mature" nature. And by mature, he thinks of being intelligent and honest, though his honesty can turn into something somewhat cold. His favorite past-time is honing his sword fighting skills by sparring with sword fish, in case the underwater castle would ever be troubled by land dwellers. He was always against the idea bringing the castle to land, in which he believes would only cause more harm than good, but only to find that the queen had different ideas.

Andromeda: Played by Derpy Seviper

Andromeda is quite the free spirit. As such, she aims to entertain those who come and visit the underwater kingdom. Whether it be through music or dance, she displays her talents with emotion and freedom. As the child of Cassiopeia and Cepheus, the rulers of Aethiopia, she still enjoys the luxuries of royalty, which is why she prefers gold colors. The circlet she wears was a treasure she received from Perseus. With the circlet, she is able to shift between her human form and aquatic form, allowing her to be a part of the beautiful Underwater Kingdom.

Personality: A wee bit greedy, like her mother; aloof; can act a little bit salty to strangers or people who she finds distasteful;
Likes: Gold, swimming, dancing, music (not necessarily playing it, but listening to it), travelling
Dislikes: Dirt, octopuses, snakes--she has a phobia of them (based off of the champion from League, Cassiopeia--she's a snake-human hybrid, and how her mother, Cassiopeia, was the one who decided to sacrifice her)

Canis Minor: Played by Da-ku-chan

Hello, I’m Da-ku-chan or Daku for short. I’ve been a member of the Gaian Annual Ball for 5ish years now and I love meeting new people such as you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I should be able to help you out.
Now let me tell you something about Canis Minor. Ever since she was little, she always wanted to better than her older sibling, Canis Major. So she tried to become Prince Cancer’s assistant, which worked pretty well. But she was still in a position lower than what she wanted, which she hated. She wanted to be on top of everyone else, looking down upon them and overlooking them especially her brother. She’d be the one giving out orders, not the other way around. And when she heard that Queen Pisces offer to throw a party this year with Cancer, she thought that this was the perfect time to conduct her scheme. The main scheme: making both sides hate each other and go into eternal war, granting Canis to be ruler of Cancer’s domain until the war ended.
