BASELINE INFORMATION
- Shou and Sakana's world is an Ocean; the seas are treated as separate "continents", the equivalent of the Atlantic seas being European and African in nature, the desert waters housing the equivalent of the Middle East. Atop the waters are "floating countries", or ships that have decided to pool their resources and manpower to form alliances. The systems of government/sovereignties vary depending on the kinds of boats that drift and merge together * _ *
- Beneath these waters are resources and sea monsters!
- Shou hails from an Asiatic sea!!!! At the age of 11, he decides to set forward on a handmade raft... and into the world in order to slay a monster and marry a princess. THE FIRST PRINCESS IS THE LOVELY VASKA (age: 17) of the arctic waters, and the first monster he must slay is a MASSIVE WHITE ORCA.
- ALONG THE WAY he meets a beautiful siren mermaid who v. tsundere-like decides to attach herself to him because she finds him amusing. IN HER USUAL FLIRTY AND ~*DANGEROUS*~ and SUPERNATURAL WAY, she attempts to *~tease/appeal~* to him ... To which Shou HILARIOUSLY does not comprehend (I MEAN C'MON HE'S LIKE 11 YEARS OLD).
- NEVERTHELESS, Shou cannot say no to this siren... and asks her her name if she's going to follow him!! She tells him that she doesn't have one (well more like, never had need for one--the sailors just called her ~fair~sea~maiden), then chinhands and asks him to name her.
- He says "YOU'RE JUST A BIG FISH ANYWAY" and goes w/ Sakana.
- Sakana is not pleased, and huffily disappears for a few hours before swishing back around his raft
- Sakana alternates between being upset that her girlish tendencies are rebuffed and SLAPPING HIM AROUND WITH HER TAIL and making sure Shou doesn't get himself into too much trouble 8_8
- EVENTUALLY Shou manages to kill the orca... only to realize that Vaska had already run off. DAMNIT! Shou frowns deeply but, undaunted, he tells Sakana that there are plenty of sea monsters to slay and princesses to marry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sakana flips her tail and goes "WELL IM COMING WITH YOU."
- and then there is kawaii adventure
EXTRA NOTES
- Shou's boat gradually gets bigger with their adventures! He builds it such that part of it is submerged in the water so Sakana can sit/sprawl herself up.
- when they are on land (there are bits of land here and there) sakana tends to have shou carry her around.
- during their downtime shou either fishes or he makes small handicrafts from driftwood. he makes a lot of things for sakana... which she disappears with to stash in her underwater grottos.
- sakana swims off and seduces + drowns sailors when she feels like it then comes back to harass + complain to shou about said sailors--things change later on but for now yes--
- OH YEA AS A SIREN/MERMAID MONSTER THING sakana sings deadly songs that cause sailors to drown themselves + kill each other + fall asleep also raising waves/gathering storms and stuff like that but shou isn't immune to her voice so she doesn't do it much around him unless she has to.
- SHOU GROWS TO TAKE SAKANA FOR GRANTED 8__8 and also his own strength! this kinda fucks him over later yeah.......................................... despair yeah............ but for now it's really kawaii!
