What was shaping up to be a nice holiday party is ruined when a mad scientist who hates holidays, fun, and cheer slips a virus into the fruit cake that turns everyone who eats it into zombies. AAAAHHH!! MY BRAINS!!

Story:In the underwater future, FOWN is celebrated a little different. Stars are the heart of the season, not presents. Each menewshan goes out on christmas eve and searches for the perfect sea star to place upon a loved ones shell tree. Then everyone swims to the surface of the sea to watch the stars above, as the menewshans of the past did.

Story: In the Future we all live below the waves, have all grown fins, or other ways to swim beneath the ocean, and live in homes built beneath the sea. but this doesn't mean we don't celebrate Christmas. oh no, we do. we have Christmas tree's built from seashells that we string pearls around, we go and do tail races, have YOU ever tried to swim with your tailed tied to a siblings? its as awkward as I'm told The two legged ancestors Foot races where. we do hide and seek in the kelp gardens. and then at night, sitting before the bubbling hot fireplace, which is connected to a system connected to a volcano, we open presents that we've gifted each other. then we sing songs of long ago at neighbors, family's and strangers homes, before going home for some nice hot seaweed coco.

However, with everything that used to be beneath the oceans, all the resources come from the watery depths. The future Menewshans feel that history is important and to continue the traditions of their ancestors is also important. So, they do their best to celebrate the winter celebration (even though it is always warm now) by decorating in whatever they can find that looks festive!

Story: It's always fun to enjoy the beach when you're at the ocean, but the true beauty lies beneath the water. An array of fish and plants in all colors that seem to dance with the motion of the ocean. With their heightened intellect and technology, and fascination of fish, I knew Boq Boq and Xeox were just the...er...people? to go to for a fun way to enjoy the water. They were quite confused at first by my request for a mermaid potion, what with the idea of being half fish, and after a few diagrams I thoroughly talked them out of a fish head and human legs.

It didn't take them long to cook something up, but I should have known that it might have a few kinks. After awhile of swimming and having fun, it seems to be wearing off, and my gills were the first to go! Good thing we stayed in the shallows to enjoy the reef! Unfortunately, the transformation may have torn my swim bottoms, and my tail is starting to tingle! Uhm...Guys? Could someone please retrieve my towel for me? Quick!

Story: you wanna see the sea? well dont be silly, human. The best way to see the sea is to get a little wet. Or a lot.
Click your heels together three times, and say "peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat" and WALLAH! Bye bye pathetic human nubbins on sticks and hellloooo endless ocean and sexy scales baby!
Let's explore atlantis, home of the mermicorn, the last of the underwater unicorns. I have the GPS to the cove of Captitan Bidet's treasure........dibs on anything shiny!
And dont be afraid, we will not be alone. The spirit of Ariels friends will be there to protect and watch over us all the way. They apologise for being dead though. No one saw the BP disaster coming.....right?
At the end of the day, we can smoke a little seaweed and watch clamflicks. The latest mer-bachelor is on and I love me some mer-candy.

At first, there was just water and humans were forced to evolve aquatically, but overtime volcanic eruptions allowed small island like formations to sprout, but humans were still primarily aquatic and learned to survive in the sea and on land. All of their resources still came from the waters, including their fishskin clothing.

Being that we are at the ocean, it only makes sense that we come into contact with humans that live nearby. These humans have adapted to their landscape and to better allow themselves access to land and water. They utilize both to survive.
