[Based on a line of 3d models called Desolation Earth.] A millennia from now, countless global catastrophes will have transformed Earth. Over 85 percent of the world is covered in water. Humanity have split into two species: the Surfacers, who live on the surface and in the sky; and the Dwellers, those adapted to live beneath the waves. Other creatures have evolved to possess humanlike forms and intelligence. The survival of the fittest begins anew. ***** "So you're waterbreathers," mused Captain Shamira Ashland. "Aren't you a bit far from your home?" "We go where we please, landlubber," Leigh growled. "You Surfacers need to get your noses out of the air and learn to smell the sea. Maybe get clear heads from the experience-" "Leigh, stop it!" Summer hissed at her friend before turning to the steamboat operator. "Please miss, ignore my friend. We shouldn't mean each other harm, should we?" "Personally, I don't," Ashland replied. "However, you know that this is the property of Lord Percival. He has given orders to capture all waterbreathers trespassing on his territories." Leigh snorted. "How? With that floating piece of junk? I've seen several more like it rusting away on the sea floor-" "SHUT UP, LEIGH!" Summer snapped. "Miss, please. We had no idea this was protected territory. Leigh and I have come here many times peacefully to be with each other and our thoughts. We don't mean to start any trouble with Surfacers." "Wise words, green-haired one," Ashland said. "Your friend should learn from your example. I will let you two leave without further issue. You will not ever return here, lest you suffer an unforgivable fate. Understood?" ***** From time to time you'll see characters from my runtime guest-starring in art/stories outside of their home realm; like Shamira here as a naval officer, or Summer and Leigh at the same club with Shion, Emireth, and Tiffany.
