Cubbage Posted April 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 "Well..." Cloudfeather started. "Well, your friends aren't in any danger. In fact, we play soothing sounds in the water to help keep them calm." That last part was a lie, but the first was true. The animals rarely showed signs of distress after adjusting to the tank. "When we're done pumping water, we'll return the tank to the ocean and set them free. That way, they don't accidentally get sucked up again! They're safer now than they would be if we let them go!"

supersonic759 Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 But Aquaria was skeptical. She wasn't one to easily be swayed when it involved her marine critters. "I'm going back over there and staying with that tank until they're released." she firmly said, getting to her hooves and starting back to the room she came from.

supersonic759 Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 ".......................As long as I'm with my friends." the sea pegasus replied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubbage Posted April 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 "Great! Then let's go!" Cloudy said, helping the pegasus to her hooves and then leading the way back to the harvester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersonic759 Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 Aquaria said nothing as they made their way back. When they arrived, she sat at the window where she could see the sea animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubbage Posted April 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 Cloudfeather checked a few more readings on the harvester before calling the physician. Then she crossed the room to sit down next to the other pegasus. "I promise they're safe. In fact, they look happy to me! See, look at that octopus! Doesn't he look overjoyed?" Cloudfeather had no clue what emotions were going through the octopus's head, but she hoped it might reassure the other pony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cubbage Posted April 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 Cloudfeather blinked. "Her kids? How do you know she has kids?" This pony was truly like no other she had met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersonic759 Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 Normally the sea pegasus would try to hide her special abilities but this other pony was somehow grinding the gears enough for her to not really care. "Because she told me! I can understand them!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubbage Posted April 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 Cloudfeather was taken aback by this. Was that possible? "You... can talk to them?" Slowly, she decided that if horses could fly and hippogriffs could turn into sea creatures, it must be possible for at least one pony to be able to talk to fish. "That... Is... Awesome!! What's that one saying?? Oooh do they like me?? Or do they think I'm weird? Can they understand me? Ooh! Tell them that I'm sorry for sucking them up but I promise they'll be back home in no time as soon as we've collected enough moisture for the thunderhead!" She meant that much sincerely. If this pegasus could really talk to them, then the poor creatures must be scared out of their minds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersonic759 Posted April 13, 2021 Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 Aquaria glared. "They hate this place and they hate you. They're scared and just want to go home." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubbage Posted April 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 "Oh." Cloudfeather said. She tried to stay positive, though the words had truly hurt her. "Well, um, the good news is that the harvester has almost finished sucking up the water we need, so your friends and you can go home soon." She walked back to the controls and checked the readings. "You know, it really is a good thing we use the harvester nowadays. Back before we had it up and running, we used to use wingpower, and fish had to be sorted out manually and corralled. Now, they're automatically sorted and stored so we can put them back faster after the harvest. Oh, what am I saying. Not like knowing that makes it any better. We just have a couple more minutes and then the loading pegasi will be here to transport the tank back down to the water." She continued to move about the control panel, mostly pretending to press buttons and check gauges. She wanted to look like she knew what she was doing. She did know, naturally, but the machine ran automatically, and so there wasn't much for her to do at this point but wait for the shutoff order.

supersonic759 Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 Aquaria couldn't care less. She sat by the tank's window, giving reassuring looks to the creatures inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
