Welcome to Gaia! ::

Naia was making her way back from a visit with a friend --- one of the few she actually didn't feel weird and anxious around --- when a school of fish came seemingly out of nowhere, causing the Mer to have to make a sudden stop to avoid swimming straight into them. She sighed, not at the fish, but at herself for allowing her mind to wander instead of watching where she was going. This was rather normal for her, for reasons which she did not know: rarely could she seem to keep her mind from spreading in a million different directions.

So when the school of fish passed, she continued on --- slowly, purposefully keeping eyes on her surroundings. So when she saw what looked to be like another pony ahead she was only slightly surprised. Other forms of sea life were plentiful in these parts, but she couldn't recall the last time she'd seen another pony that didnt have four legs. When this realization hit her Naia, once again, had to take a moment to wonder why her mind worked the way it did.

However, the closer she got to the stallion the better she saw him, and, after noting that she didn't recognize him noticed the large family of snails he'd surrounded himself with. It brought to mind a topic she'd discussed with her friend, Cassie, and, in a spontaneous moment of courage, decided to go and ask the pony a question.

"Hello..." she greeted quietly, stopping a fair distance from the stallion."This...Might sound rather odd, coming from a stranger, but would you happen to be the one responsible for the recent increase in sea life in the area? Or at least have any idea as to how? Many have noticed the change, but nobody I've talked to seems to have heard anything on why."
