An RP with \n\t\t\t\t\tZantzuSui
Rose belongs to them", "writing": "L: On a sunny day on one of the Northstar Islands, a red feathered bird woman has just arrived. While she doesn't know what to expect of the area, and maybe not even what it's called, she's ready to explore and see what's around.\n\nZ: The red bird looked around the shores, wondering in curiousity on why such a nice place is not even on the map, before walking off the row boat and to the forest.\n\nL: After a while, it seems like the bird may not be alone. As she continues, she can hear somewhat subtle movement in nearby bushes, as something or someone seems to be following her while trying not to be noticed...\n\nZ: The bird heard the bushes rustle about, though when seeing nothing really emerging, she shrugged it off and kept moving, running in deeper into the forest while having her hands in her pockets.\n\nL: Whatever's following her is able to keep up, at least for a while. Eventually, there's a thud as it seems to trip on something, followed by a little nervous-sounding whine.\n\nZ: That got her attention and she turned back as she heard both those things, stopping before walking to where it sounded and moved some leaves from the bushes.\n\nL: She quickly discovers who'd been following her: A nearly naked lizard woman, with an orange and red body, wearing only a large helmet that obscures her face. She tries to get up at first, before realizing the bird's spotted her, then just freezes up and stares at her through the helmet.\n\nZ: Rose blushed at the sight of the almost bare bodied sungazer and stared at her for a moment before slowly backing away before walking off, thinking if that was someone just minding their buisness, she shouldn't barge into it.\n\nL: As Rose starts walking off, the sungazer manages to gather enough courage to say something. \"...H-hang on! I-I'm, um... C-curious about you...\" She gets up, while trying to keep her breasts and vagina covered.\n\nZ: Rose was surpised to hear her again and looked back while seeing her covering herself.\n\"Curious? Huh. Are you a dweller on this island? Its been...really forgotten to time.'\n\nL: \"Y-yeah, I am... Um... M-my name's Trip. Y-you're the first n-new person I've seen here in... A-a long time.\"\n\nZ: \"Hm. Name's Rose. Don't worry, I won't be in your hair for long. Just ended up here and was curious of what this place was.\"\n\nL: \"Th-this is the Northstar Islands... Th-there aren't many people living here, m-mainly just animals. I-it's why I don't usually wear much.\"\n\nZ: \"Northstar...nice name. It's ok, I'm not looking at your body. Seems rude to do so.\"\nShe kept walking while conversating with the lizard\n\nL: \"O-okay, thanks...\" Trip seems to get a little less nervous at that. \"Um... I live not too far from here, if you want to see my home...\"\n\nZ: \"Hm? Sure. A simple visit would be good.\"\nRose shrugged before beginning to follow Trip\n\nL: Trip smiles a little, and leads Rose. After a few minutes of travel, the two arrive outside a cottage next to a relatively small lake.\n\n\"Well, here we are... It's not really much, but I've always been happy with it...\"\n\nZ: Rose kept walking behind Trip before seeing the cottage, and how clear the small lake was.\n\n\"How...long you been living by yourself?\"\n\nL: \"Maybe a couple years by now... Some friends visit every now and then, so it's not too bad. But, just having animals around is usually enough for me.\"\n\nZ: \"Well...it is a nice place.\"\nRose admired the place a bit before patting Trip on the back.\n\nL: \"Thanks... I-I'm gonna go get dressed, so I don't have to keep covering myself like this... Give me a minute.\" Trip rushes into her home. A couple minutes later, she returns clothed, and having taken her helmet off as well, her blushing face finally visible.\n\nZ: \"Ok..\"\nRosa waited while humming, tapping her foot on the ground before seeing Trip come back in her clothes and surpisingly not wearing her helmet.\n\"Hm? Not wearing that?\"\n\nL: \"I-I'm starting to feel a bit better around you... N-nothing against you, I just tend to be nervous around new people.\"\n\nZ: \"Its fine. I dont mind at all. Even if you were butt naked like earlier. If thats what you like then its ok.\"\n\nL: \"...M-maybe eventually... But anyway, um... I guess we could just hang out for now. What do you like to do?\"\n\nZ: \"I don't know. I'm kinda staying caucious of this place.\"\n\nL: \"I can probably keep you safe, I know enough about all this... Oh, do you like water? Sometimes I like going for walks in that lake.\"\n\nZ: That caught her off guard before looking at her.\n\"I don't mind swimming...hell I had moments myself.\"\nShe shown off on her phone to Trip of what she meant.\n\n{Note from lolboy: Zantzu sent me a couple drawings of Rose either drowning or about to}\n\nL: Trip blushes heavily as she looks at those pictures. \"O-oh, you... I-I guess you're not very afraid of drowning, huh?\"\n\nZ: \"Eh. It happens more often to me so it doesn't really budge me on it. All part of the gig I do back on the mainland.\"\nShe shrugged and closed her eyes.\n\nL: \"W-well, you shouldn't have to worry about that here, there's a good amount of bubble vents on the bottom. I'm lucky I've never drowned before, honestly...\"\n\nZ: \"Really? I never really seen those before. What we have are air tanks.\"\n\nL: \"I've never tried one of those... But, for some reason, I've always preferred the thought of just holding my breath instead of using one...\"\n\nZ: \"Now it might now give me the chance to try your style...\"\n\nL: \"Big bubbles are easier to grab than you'd think, but I'll try to help you if you can't figure it out.\"\n\nZ: \"I never seen bubbles you can just...grab. Seems out of the ordinary for me.\"\nRose shrugged while adjusting her shirt\n\nL: \"I've never really thought about it before, but that does sound weird... You get used to it though.\"\n\nZ: \"Hope I do.\"\nRose headed to the dock and did small hops to warm herself up\n\nL: Trip follows Rose there, doing some deep breathing. \"S-something I need to tell you, um... I can't swim. Not because of what I'm wearing, I just can't.\"\n\nZ: Ro:\"Oh don't worry...I cant either but more or less accepted it.\"\nShe smirked a bit before rubbing her head\n\nL: \"Okay, at least I won't be the only one... I'm ready whenever you are.\"\n\nZ: Rose nodded before taking off her shirt and pants, leaving herself in her undergardments before preparing.\n\nL: Trip blushes at that, clearly not yet comfortable with doing the same... She sits on the edge of the dock, getting herself ready to head underwater.\n\nZ: Rose noticed Trip blushed and chuckled before sitting besides her while her legs crossed.\n\nL: Trip smiles at Rose, trying not to make it obvious that she's looking them over.\n\nZ: Rose didnt see Trip looking at her, even getting a tad lost in watching the waters ripple.\n\nL: After a bit, Trip realizes she should probably stop, looking into the water. \"Um... How good are you at holding your breath?\"\n\nZ: \"I...dont know. I never really recorded or took note of how my breah holding is.\"\nShe closed her eyes and shrugged\n\nL: \"Hopefully we'll be fine... I can go a few minutes at a time, but maybe we'll stick close to bubble vents for a while first just in case.\"\n\nZ: \"Yeah...allows me to try inhaling or grabbing one because it sounds like fake.\"\n\nL: \"It's for real, I promise. And if it doesn't work for you for some reason, I'll help you get back to shore.\"\n\nZ: \"Okay...guess I am ready then.\"\nRose began to take a large deep breath before jumping off the dock\n\nL: Trip takes one last deep breath and follows Rose down, splashing into the water and beginning to sink toward the bottom.\n\nZ: Rose was flailing her arms a bit as she was sinking down, bubbles leaking out her beak's nose while legs swayed a bit.\n\nL: Trip is a bit more calm, trying to stay close to Rose and stay relaxed. The bottom's still a bit of distance away, but it's visible, and a couple spots in view have little bubbles rising up from them.\n\nZ: She noticed some bubbles from the lake's bottom spew out and was a tad curious, seeing how deep it was with it looking like some ruins a bit.\n\nL: As the descent continues, Trip has a look around, deciding where to go with Rose first... She figures that, after she introduces Rose to breathing from bubbles, she could show them around the ruins.\n\nZ: Rose felt the decent to keep on going...and going, her cheeks puffing up while soft red, bubbling while adjusting her panties a bit due to her kicking making it stretch against her.\n\nL: Every now and then, Trip sneaks a glance at Rose's body, blushing a bit each time. She certainly doesn't have the confidence to say it yet, but she's enjoying the bird's company more than she expected... She bubbles a little as she tries not to get too distracted.\n\nZ: Eventually, Rose would finally land at the bottom, landing with a muffled grunt before looking to Trip to see how does she do it when she does these trips\n\nL: Trip lands more smoothly than Rose had, being more used to doing this. After a glance up toward the surface, she gestures for Rose to follow her as she leads the way to one of the bubble vents.\n\nZ: Rose looked up to see how deep she was before seeing Trip motioning her to follow her before nodding, running the best she can after her.\n\nL: With all the practice she's had at this, Trip keeps up a good pace despite being underwater. It takes about 20 seconds to get to the closest bubble vent, and as if on cue, a large bubble forms from it and begins floating up.\n\nZ: Rose was...still running, a bit sloppy in the water as her arms flailed while bubbles spewed out her closed beak lips, body wobbling.\n\nL: Not realizing how much of a lead she'd gotten on Rose, Trip grabs the big bubble and holds onto it as she starts heading back over to the bird.\n\nZ: Rose saw Trip carrying the bubble to her and was...surpised a bit...someone is really being considerate to her? Thats...odd...whats she planning?\n\nL: Trip wonders whether she should first demonstrate how to breathe one of these bubbles... She holds hers out to Rose in case they happen to get it first try, though she's ready to go back over to the bubble vent to show how to do it if Rose can't get it.\n\nZ: Rose decided to try at least herself, grabbing the bubble as soft as she can before pressing her beak to the bubble to try and inhale it...it feels rubbery...\n\nL: Sure enough, Rose is able to get her beak inside the bubble, allowing her to safely inhale it.\n\nZ: And Rose took a large inhale in and felt the bubble enter her beak so seemlessly with a loud gulp.\n\nL: Trip smiles and nods, glad Rose was able to figure it out. She goes back over to the bubble vent anyway, grabbing one for herself and breathing it in, wanting to be as well off as possible.\n\nZ: The canary watched how Trip inhales it and saw the whole bubble gulped down before being intregued by how the island works.\n\nL: Fully refreshed, Trip starts with the next part of what she'd planned, starting to lead Rose to the nearby ruins that had been visible from above.\n\nZ: And Rose began to follow Trip to the ruins, walking besides her carefully to where it was.\n\nL: It looks like there might not be any more bubble vents coming up, at least for now... But Trip is confident anyway, having spent some time in the underwater ruins on her own in the past.\n\nZ: Though seems Rose will need a tad of help traversing, seeing that she has to go through the ruins without the aid of air bubbles...\n\nL: Trip hopes that Rose happens to have a good breath hold, though knowing that they've drowned before does make her a little more confident that the bird won't have much trouble. Still, she makes sure to keep track of how they're doing.\n\nZ: Rose was a good holder with her experiences drowning and all, as she used her arms swaying while moving to help with her movements in the water.\n\nL: Arriving at the ruins, Trip starts to go inside, but pauses, looking back to make sure Rose is comfortable going in there.\n\nZ: Rose was trying to work with the soft feeling with how deep she was, looking at Trip while walking in.\n\nL: Trip follows Rose inside. The ruins seem to have held up decently well despite their age, though parts of the ceiling are open above the two divers and there's some stone rubble around.\n\nZ: Rose made sure to watch her step, feeling that the water might have the floor be a bit loose from time and moisture.\n\nL: Trip is careful as well, though is able to go a bit faster than Rose, being more familiar with the area. Despite the continuing lack of air sources, she's staying calm.\n\nZ: She felt...a tad nervous on the whole place due to it being her first time in such a place, as she usually sees ruins in pictures or using drones for it.\n\nL: Gradually, Trip begins to show a need for air... But she's not too concerned about it yet, still enjoying showing Rose around the ruins.\n\nZ: Rose felt the same thing, her pupils slightly shrunk while moving a tad faster, bubbles spilling out her closed beak.\n\nL: Seeing the state Rose is in, Trip tries to remember where any air could be found in the ruins... She leads Rose in a different direction, hoping she's remembering correctly that there's a bubble vent that way.\n\nZ: The bird followed Trip down a different corridoor, walking through the ruins and despite that her chest was heaving...the place did look peaceful.\n\nL: There's hardly even any fish around, mainly just the two explorers, with the only sounds being their bubbling and grunting. Trip pinches her nose shut to try to keep her air in better.\n\nZ: Rose held her beak closed with her whole winged hand, trying to slow her bubbling down while walking besides her.\n\nL: As they go, they can soon finally hear occasional bloops like they'd heard from the bubble vents outside. And, not long after, they enter a room that has one of those, finally giving them a chance to breathe!\n\nZ: Her eyes widen and when seeing one of the bubbles emerge with the sounding bloop...seeing it wobble so enticingly, made her chest heave harder with her cheeks turning deep purple before running to it with a loud gurgle!\n\nL: Trip quickly goes for the bubble as well, but stops herself to let Rose have the first one. Having more experience with holding her breath, she figures she can wait for the next, even as she's blushing quite a bit from strain.\n\nZ: Rose tried to reach for it but barely slipped out of her grasp, and now had to wait for the next one to appear, crouching down and looked at the crack, seeing it spew tiny bubbles...\n\nL: Coming up next to Rose, Trip stares at the crack too, her blush beginning to tint purple like Rose's. She tries to stay calm, trusting that another meaningful bubble will come soon.\n\nZ: She tapped her foot talon on the ground...seeing one bubble after another...a lot of small, and an occasional medium one but not able to inhale that all.\n\nL: Trip slowly gets increasingly frustrated as this bubble vent take its sweet time with giving out a substantial bubble... Her lungs are getting a burning feeling, and she covers her mouth with her free hand.\n\nZ: Rose was just wanting to inhale some sweet air but the bubble vent isnt just spewing anything out, debating on just running to go find another one out on her own...\n\nL: Trip tries to cup her hands and catch some of the smaller bubbles, intending to at least breathe those and tide herself over. But, her frustration is beginning to turn to panic as she wonders whether she and Rose should just run outside and go for a more cooperative bubble vent...\n\nZ: Though when Rose bolted out the area to try and find another bubble vent, a large enough bubble soon came out from it...typical, as the bird has no idea that it even came out the other vent.\n\nL: While she'd been just about to follow Rose, Trip stops as she hears the big bubble form. \"Mmm! Roblse!\" She calls out to the bird despite losing air from doing so, and grabs the big bubble to bring it to them, willing to wait longer to get air for herself.\n\nZ: Rose skid on the ground when hearing Trip's voice bubbled out before glancing back to see the sungazer running to her with the wobbling large bubble and felt her lungs becoming more desperate by the second, and when she got close, she grabbed the bubble and pressed her beak into it, taking such a loud and large inhale from it.\n\nL: Trip gives Rose a quick thumbs-up before covering her mouth and nose again. It's beginning to be a real issue that she's gone so long without breathing, as she whines some and looks over at the bubble vent again, hoping it won't keep her waiting long this time.\n\nZ: Rose felt her air soothed and cheeks lessened and back to normal but noticed Trip was in that position...thinking maybe she might have to share some air to ease her waiting...\n\nL: Trip looks back over at the bubble vent, which of course has gone right back to taking its time to make another big bubble... Her cheeks start to go blue as she tightly shuts her eyes.\n\nZ: Rose knew that the sungazer wont last any longer before grabbing her waist and pulled her in to kiss her lips...and to share her air to her.\n\nL: Trip's blush gets quite a bit more intense at that kiss, and it takes her a moment to realize what Rose is doing. She carefully inhales from the bird, trying not to take too much of their air despite how badly she needs it, the color of her cheeks fading back toward normal.\n\nZ: Rose kept kissing and pushing air until her air was at half, before parting the kiss with a bubbly gurgle, bubbles spilled out before looking away a bit from embarssament\n\nL: A little awkward about it herself, Trip tries not to think about that too much. Now that she's doing okay again, she wonders whether it'd be better to wait for another bubble or just resume exploring.\n\nZ: Rose felt a bit on the thought a lot, even adjusting her cap while blushing red, not from air but from emotion.\n\nL: Figuring things will go fine as long as she and Rose are more careful, Trips decides to continue showing the bird around, heading for the room's exit.\n\nZ: Rose began to follow Trip out the exit, seeing some carvings on the walls about the island Trip was living...\n\nL: Trip slows down a bit as she sees that Rose is interested in the carvings. She thinks about the best way to elaborate on them once the two surface, since she knows a good bit of the history herself.\n\nZ: Rose felt the wall for a bit before perking up when noticing Trip see her before running back to her while having a soft smile.\n\nL: Trip smiles back, though with only half a fresh breath in her, she's beginning to strain just a little again already. Still, she manages to keep calm for now.\n\nZ: Rose felt the small strain as well but tried to keep her ethusiasm up as she began to grab Trip's hand and take the random lead this time.\n\nL: Trip lets Rose lead, not really having had any ideas of where to go. She holds her nose again with her free hand, hoping to buy herself a little more time.\n\nZ: Rose held her beak while looking to Trip before rubbing her head with her other winged hand...as it felt...oddly soothing for a walk like this.\n\nL: Trip is beginning to feel a bit more comfortable being with Rose than she expected... She'd never gone on an underwater walk with someone before, and this one was helping a lot with her nerves despite the lack of air. She looks over at Rose, her blush now not just being from needing to breathe.\n\nZ: Rose glanced to Trip for a moment, her blush forming more before glancing away, rubbing the back of her head while thinking that one moment she stumbled on an island and now walking with such a nice gal...\n\nL: Feeling pretty much just as awkward as Rose seems to, Trip looks away too, trying to distract herself by looking at the surroundings.\n\nZ: Rose felt they had been travelling for...quite some time while adjusting her cap, curious if there was even an end to how the ruins go...\n\nL: It does seem like they've seen most of the place so far, and there doesn't seem to be any sign of there being another floor. In fact, before a whole lot longer, the two are back in the entrance room, having done a full loop of the ruin.\n\nZ: When she realized they made a whole loop back to the entrace, she had a blank surpised look before looking at her before looking behind at the doorway they just exited...and it was just a wall again.\n\nL: Trip is a little confused, looking around the room... And when she notices the way the two had come from is suddenly closed off, it's clear from her expression that that's something she hasn't seen in these ruins before.\n\nZ: Rose looked to Trip with a shrug, as she got no clue on how it even happened but...hey...at least it wasn't a bad thing and keeping them stuck.\n\nL: Trip shrugs back, figuring she ought to look into the place a bit more sometime... Then, she remembers how low on breath she is, and quickly covers her mouth. \"Mmmh!\"\n\nZ: \"Mmhblghb!\"\nHer chest heaving reminded her of the same thing and since they were at the entrance, the surface is viewable as Rose was trying to swim up the best she could there...attempting at least.\n\nL: Trip doesn't even bother trying to swim, knowing she can't. She starts heading outside, looking for where the nearest bubble vent is and hoping it's not too far.\n\nZ: Rose soon sank onto her rear before noticing Trip walking outside and tried to quickly follow her outside...her arms flailing to try and get some speed.\n\nL: As Trip's blush goes purple again, she motions for Rose to follow as she starts swim-running toward what she believes to be the closest bubble vent, hoping she and Rose will be able to last long enough to get there.\n\nZ: And Rose was trying her best but sometimes, she slow down due to not having her footing in the water, her blush was a bit more purple than her...\n\nL: Not wanting to leave Rose behind, Trip does her best to help the bird along despite gradually getting closer to running out of breath. Bubbles constantly trickle away from her lips as she fights to not lose much air.\n\nZ: Rose felt her cheeks puff a bit more while it slowly turning blue...feeling the air need becoming greater...and greater...as she tries to run to the closest bubble vent\n5\n\nL: Trip's lungs are burning, and she constantly whines as her chest heaves. She does her best to keep moving, rebreathing in her cheeks and keeping both hands on her mouth.\n\nZ: Rose was holding her throat with both her hands now as she made muffled grunts while looking up to the surface, thinking its going to be another of these moments...\n4\n\nL: While she remembers that this wouldn't be Rose's first time drowning, Trip still doesn't want them to have to go through it. She considers giving them some of her air, but knows it won't do much... She keeps rushing for the bubble vent, planning on letting Rose take the first big bubble again.\n\nZ: Rose started to slow down as she felt herself losing the energy to keep going, her eyelids lowered while bubbles seeped out more from her beak.\n3\n\nL: \"Mmm!\" Seeing the state of Rose, Trip tries to comfort them for a moment, then looks over at the bubble vent. There's no way the bird is going to make it in time... Trip shudders as her own blush starts going blue.\n\nZ: \"Mmh...mmm...\"\nThe bird started to feel a tad woozy from the airless feeling, her legs trying to kick to swim but wasnt going anywhere...\n\nL: As much as Trip doesn't want to leave Rose, she knows that their best chance would be the sungazer just bringing them a bubble... But she also doesn't want Rose to be alone while they drown, because she knows it probably can't be prevented at this point... She decides to stay with the bird for now, trying not to panic.\n\nZ: Rose noticed the sungazer not moving ahead as she felt her beak trying to open to take that inahle, and she tried to motion to her that she'll be ok, her pupils shrunk while pointing to the bubble.\n\nL: Trip considers for a moment, then nods, bolting for the bubble vent. She really doesn't want this to be her first drowning, and she goes as fast as she can, almost feeling as if a timer had started up to count down to when she runs out of breath.\n5\n\nZ: Rose waved a bit to Trip in a bit of motivation before looking up to see her bubbles spilling out of her beak so much...and noticing the number\n1\n\nL: Increasingly frantic as she starts feeling a bit dizzy, Trip tries to stay focused. A big bubble comes out from the bubble vent ahead of her, but it'll be too far above her by the time she gets there, so she's going to have to wait for another...\n4\n\nZ: Though when Trip was waiting, Rose reached her limit and her beak finally opened in a large bubbly burst, beak wide open before soon taking in those needed gulps..\n0\n\nL: Trip almost gasps as she hears Rose breathing in water, looking over and watching the bird starting to drown... Before trying to take her mind off that, staring at the bubble vent in desperation to not join Rose in drowning.\n3\n\nZ: Rose flailed her arms like shes trying to fly while gulping more and more fresh water, eyelids lowered and her body bouncing in great showing, the canary gurgling bit by bit.\n\nL: Trip is shivering all over from her need to breathe, tightly shutting her eyes and just listening for a big bubble to form, which it still just stubbornly refuses to do.\n2\n\nZ: Rose started to flail less, landing on her butt while gulping more, her cap floated off and away while she was having another drowned moment...\n\nL: Trip drops to her knees, her struggles beginning to slow some. She's getting so dizzy from holding her breath so long she's starting to have trouble focusing, as her trickling bubbles slowly come to a stop, her lungs just about empty...\n1\n\nZ: Then the bubble soon came up as Trip was at 1 while the bird was gulping away, sitting at the ruin's entrance as her lungs filled up more and more.\n\nL: Almost not noticing in time, Trip lunges at the bubble and immediately gasps it down, taking in the whole thing as her blush fades back to purple, then red. She finally starts to relax a bit... Before remembering Rose is drowning, and now there's no air for them. Trip quickly starts running over to them.\n\nZ: Rose was in a sort of floating back position, her body swayed so peacefully while taking nice gulps of water as Trip was running to her.\n\nL: Seeing how relaxed Rose now looks makes Trip pause for a moment... Before she shakes her head, and tries to hold onto the waterlogged bird and pull them along to the bubble vent.\n\nZ: It was easy doing so besides how a bit heavier she was from being waterlogged, her breasts bobbing about from the dragging.\n\nL: Despite how much danger Rose is clearly in, Trip can't help but glance over at the bird's breasts, watching them jiggle around. Maybe after this she'd ask Rose if they'd be willing to be fully nude with her...\n\nZ: She wouldnt mind as Rose was still waterlogged, still drowned and in a cute little pose made by the bird\n\nL: Trip soon brings Rose to the bubble vent, setting the bird down while waiting for a bubble to give them. In the meantime, she watches Rose, wondering what it must feel like to be drowning.\n\nZ: After some time, another bubble soon came out while Rose was still drowned and floated barely off the ground\n\nL: Trip grabs the bubble and carefully pushes it into Rose's mouth while holding their nostrils shut, hoping that'll revive them.\n\nZ: And Rose woken up with a bubbly grunt before shaking around and saw...her again, surpised to see her here still\n\nL: With a smile, Trip gestures toward the shore, figuring it's high time she and Rose finally actually surfaced.\n\nZ: Rose nodded with a smile and began to jog the way back but the shorts shrank due the water and was riding her ass cheeks\n\nL: As Trip follows, she blushes as she sees the surprisingly good view of Rose's butt... While she knows better than to do anything with it without asking, she can't help but look over at it every now and then.\n\nZ: Watching it wobble per step while Rose kept walking to the shore before after some time, she finally made it with a loud gasp and huff before laying down on the grassy edge\n\nL: Trip soon surfaces as well with a gasp of her own, getting out of the water while panting a bit to then sit down next to Rose. \"S-sorry you ended up drowning... S-stupid unreliable bubble vents...\"\n\nZ: \"I-Its...okay, h-heh...just feel like it just knows when we need it. B-But its fine...Im used to it...\"\n\nL: \"Still, this was supposed to be casual...\" Trip sighs. \"...Did you at least have fun exploring down there?\"\n\nZ: \"I did! But...sorry if I made it a tad...complicated...\"\nShe glanced away, feeling she could had done better\n\nL: After a moment of silence, with Trip silently gathering her courage, she speaks up again. \"U-um... I was sort of... L-looking at you, down there. Y-your butt, and, um... Breasts. I-I hope that's okay...\"\n\nZ: Rose blushed red but...without saying anything, her winged hand went to rub her rear in response\n\"Dont worry...I dont mind it.\"\n\nL: Trip sighs in relief. \"Okay, good, you're not mad... Th-then, maybe... W-we could go naked together? I-I think I'd be okay with that now...\"\n\nZ: Rose had a bright blush but smiled and soon took off her casual clothes, revealing her nice bird tits out in full view and rear before winking at her\n\nL: Trip smiles as her blush gets more intense... Slowly, she undresses too, instinctively covering herself for a moment, before taking a deep breath and releasing it as she lowers her arms, allowing her bare body to be seen.\n\nZ: And when the bird saw Trip was now bare nude like her, she made an 'Aww!\" and when to pull her in a firm hug!\n\"You look so cute! Heh!\"\n\nL: \"Th-thanks...\" Trip hugs Rose back, loving feeling the bird's feathers against her, as her worries begin to quickly fade.\n\nZ: \"Where ya nervous? Cause truthfully when I first met ya, I thought you were going to harm me!\"\n\nL: \"I was nervous, yeah... I wouldn't have tried to hurt you, there's no way I'd do that to someone I just met. I was just really curious about you.\"\n\nZ: \"Ah. Sorry for assuming! Usually when these things happen, I ended up getting chased and all!\"\nShe chuckled\n\nL: \"It's fine, I need to get better at talking to people... That's kind of hard to do when there's no one else around.\" Trip laughs a little too.\n\nZ: \"Seems from the look, its just you...though...curious if you would like for me to stay with yah?\"\n\nL: \"...I-If you wouldn't mind, yeah. It'd be nice to actually have someone here with me, it's been kind of lonely...\"\n\nZ: \"Then dont worry then, you won't feel alone any longer!\"\nShe petted her head\n\nL: Trip smiles at Rose. \"Thank you! I'll do my best to help you get comfortable out here, it's easier than you might think.\"\n\nZ: \"Ill try my best to learn how ya do it and feel this can be nice!\"\nShe gave a thumbs up, bouncing a bit\n\nL: \"I think, for now, we ought to just relax. Definitely no more diving for a bit at least, getting so close to drowning kind of got me out of the mood for that...\"\n\nZ: \"Eh, understandable.\"\nShe leaned against the tree while relaxing, letting her feathers dry up by the sun\n\nL: Trip sits down next to them with a relaxed sigh, trying to get herself past the surreal feeling of just casually being nude right next to someone.\n\nZ: Rose was more usually comfortable being nude due to just doing that at her home and occasionally going out for those aquatic moments, eyes closed and hands behind her head.\n\nL: As her anxiousness fades, a new question enters Trip's mind... She looks up at Rose. \"Hey, um... What's it like to drown? Just so I can sort of get myself ready if it's ever unavoidable for me...\"\n\nZ: \"Hm? You wonder how it feels? You know the burning feeling when holding? For me, its more like, the flame being extinguished. Soothing, despite just inhaling and gurgling a lot. Oddly nice at times.\"\n\nL: \"That... Doesn't sound so bad... I hope it turns out to work the same for me, it'd be nice to not really have to worry about it that much.\"\n\nZ: \"Would...you like to try it? Im here.\"\n\nL: \"U-um...\" Trip thinks for a few seconds... \"...I-I think I do. Maybe it'll help me not be as worried about drowning...\"\n\nZ: \"Whenever you feel ready, just let me know...ok?\"\n\nL: \"Yeah, just... Give me a little while...\" A couple minutes pass as Trip mentally prepares herself, before she finally gets up. \"O-okay, I'm ready.\"\n\nZ: Once seeing Trip get ready, she waited for her to enter first while watching\n\nL: Trip nervously goes to the water, getting in deep enough that only her head is above the surface. She starts taking deep breaths, both to calm herself and to prepare her lungs.\n\nZ: Rose made sure to stay above while rubbing her shoulderd to help her stay calm\n\nL: Trip looks over at Rose, smiling a little... Then, with one more deep breath, Trip jumps forward, sinking fully underwater.\n\nZ: Rose stayed above to get an air advantage so she can fish her out when the time comes and she wont be like her\n\nL: Trip gets a bit of distance from the shore, enough that she can't just easily run back out if she panics, and sits down, trying to relax.\n\nZ: Rose soon took a deep breath before running in the water after her so she can sit besides her\n\nL: Trip looks at Rose a little nervously, but trusts that the bird will help her once she drowns. For now, all there really is for either of them to do is wait for Trip to run out of breath...\n\nZ: Rose rubbed Trip on the head and when sat down, she moved the sungazer to her lap and enjoy the scenery\n\nL: After a little smile at Rose, Trip starts looking around the area to pass the time, trying not to think about her eventual drowning for the moment.\n\nZ: Rose closed her eyes and oddly felt the time pass a bit more\n\nL: Gradually, Trip feels more and more of a need to breathe... Eventually she instinctively covers her mouth, starting to struggle a little.\n\nZ: And when she felt Trip struggle, she made sure to hold her waist to make her keep sitting\n\nL: Trip has to keep reminding herself that she wants this as fear starts to build up. Bubbles keep leaking away from her more and more over time, and she blushes from strain.\n\nZ: Rose tried to think on what to help so she kissed her forehead while messaging her chest with her hands to try and ease her fears.\n\nL: Trip blushes a lot at the kiss, and manages to relax just a little... But as she begins to feel a burning in her lungs, she squirms in place, the slightest bit of purple appearing in her blush.\n\nZ: \"Dbloinbg wbleblb Tblrblip!\"\nShe rubbed her legs as she felt her squirming and placed her own head on Trip's\n\nL: While she smiles a little at that, Trip tightly shuts her eyes and whines a little, starting to close in on the state she was in just before she got that last bubble in the previous dive.\n\nZ: She was starting to get red cheeks but felt this was good enough of a gap so she wouldnt drown together like her, hearing her whine and smooched her head\n\nL: Not too long after, Trip's blush starts going blue, and a countdown starts up. She shivers a little, trying not to panic, but her willpower is beginning to falter.\n5\n\nZ: Rose started to prepare herself and hold the sungazer tightly on her lap, making sure that if her willpower ends, she will be ready to hold\n\nL: For the moment, Trip stays in place, struggling harder and harder as bubbles stream from her lips. She lowers her head, fighting to keep herself from trying to go anywhere.\n4\n\nZ: \"Dblonblt fblighbt iblt...Iblm heblrbe Tblribp...\"\nShe felt the struggles harder and being weaker than her, it was hard\n\nL: Hearing Rose reassuring her, Trip manages to calm herself a little, relaxing just a bit in Rose's hold. Still, she's shivering, trying to rebreathe in her cheeks as the burning in her lungs continues getting more intense.\n3\n\nZ: And she tried to think on how to let her try earlier, she tried to tickle her toes a bit with a smirk, hoping it would work in a way\n\nL: Despite the strain she's under, Trip squirms a bit at the tickling, her desperate grunts and whines starting to be interspersed with little giggles.\n2\n\nZ: And she felt the grip to be wavering, feeling the squirming to be at its peak, eyes widen from the squirming\n\nL: Trip keeps fighting to hold in what little is left of her breath, starting to actually struggle to get loose from Rose at this point. Though, with how dizzy and lightheaded she's gotten, her struggles aren't really that effective.\n1\n\nZ: And she stood her ground, feeling her cheeks deep red and felt her heaves to get more apparent but felt fine...though seeing Trip about to burst, she rubbed her affectionally to her\n\nL: Trip doesn't even react to that, too panicked to notice it.\n0\nThe sungazer exhales a huge cloud of bubbles, before audibly gasping down water. At that point, she freezes up for a moment, her eyes wide as she briefly holds in the water she inhaled... Then she coughs it back out before gasping again, and repeating as she starts to drown.\n\nZ: Rose then let go, and watched how Trip drowns, since everyone has their own style, while she made soft bubbly grunts, cheeks turning soft purple while hearing her gasping\n\nL: Once she's freed, Trip tries to swim up, completely failing to do so as she'd said would be the case earlier. She keeps trying regardless, gurgling painfully while desperately hopping up and down, her breasts bouncing as she does.\n\nZ: Rose saw her try and watched how her breasts and butt bounce from flailing, blushing red with her purple tint and hearing those gurgles...thinking maybe it might be a different results for her\n\nL: Before too long, as Trip weakens, she's not able to keep jumping any more. Her choking calms to just slow breathing, and after standing in place for a couple seconds, she falls on her butt and ends up sitting down on the bottom of the lake, waterlogged but still awake.\n\nZ: Rose walked to Trip who was breathing in water while seeing her sitting down. She knealed on her one knee and made sure to see if she wasnt minding the feeling and if not, she can take her out no issue.\n\nL: But, it seems there's nothing to worry about in that regard, as Trip is sleepily smiling, clearly enjoying herself. A hiccup makes her bubble out the last tiny bit of air left in her, and she makes no attempt to get to the surface.\n\nZ: Rose smiled a bit more, seeing how Trip was enjoying this now before rubbing her cheek and beginning to take her to shore with a caring look\n\nL: Trip limply relaxes as Rose brings her along, hardly even seeming to notice she's being moved. Her watery breathing is gradually slowing down as her face goes a deeper blue, though her enjoyment remains.\n\nZ: Rose soon began to felt her own lungs beginning to beg for air and sped up while admiring Trip's drowned look, though happy that she looked like she was enjoying it.\n\nL: Trip blearily watches Rose as she's carried, doing her best to stay awake. While she's a bit heavy from the water in her lungs, she's still light enough to be easily carried.\n\nZ: She felt Trip to be like a full backpack, not light but definitely not luggage type before eventually she broke the surface with a loud gasp before settling her down to do a quick revive\n\nL: Surprisingly, Rose doesn't really need to do anything as Trip still has enough strength to recover on her own. After weakly slurping down her first breath of air in a while, she begins spitting up water and gasping, the colors of her face starting to go back to normal.\n\nZ: And that was surpising since she needs assistance for that and was a bit caught off guard from Trip waking up on her own.\n\"Ay, ya good?\"\n\nL: Panting heavily, Trip nods as she coughs a few times. \"Th-think I'm fine...\" Her voice is a bit hoarse, but she's gradually looking better.\n\nZ: Feeling relieved, she patted Trip's back before letting her rest, tossing some stones to skip em ahead on the water.\n\nL: Over a little while, Trip recovers, her breathing going to a casual pace and her blush fading away... Then coming back as she thinks about what she just went through. \"So, that, um... K-kind of felt weirdly good...\"\n\nZ: \"Yep. Seems you got what I got. Lucky gal ain't cha?\n*Rose tossed a few more rocks before tossing one up and down while looking to Trip.\n\nL: \"I guess that IS pretty lucky, I don't really have to be scared of drowning... A-at least while someone's around to get me out, anyway.\"\n\nZ: \"Same goes for you! Usually some aquatic others who get me outta there.\"\n\nL: \"That makes sense... I-if you'd be up for it sometime, maybe we could just kind of... L-let ourselves drown together? Maybe not today though, it might not be good for us to drown twice so soon...\"\n\nZ: \"Heh. I get it. My lungs need to dry up tonight either way.\"\nRose patted her head before beginning to find a spot to make for a lil sleeping area.\n\nL: \"Yeah, same here. We may as well just head to my house, it'll be more comfortable than anywhere out here. I could probably put out a spare mattress for you or something. Unless you're okay with sharing my bed...\"\n\nZ: \"Hm? You...got a mattress? Oh thank goodness. I thought I have to sleep on leaves for a goodnight sleep.\"\n\nL: \"No worries, I've got a fairly good home. Let's head in and get dried off.\" Trip gets up and starts leading the way to her house.\n\nZ: Rose began to follow Trip down the place to her home, wondering what was it going to look like.\n\nL: Trip's home comes into view before long. It's a fairly basic-looking place, sort of looking like a large hut, but it's in good condition.\n\n\"I didn't make it myself, I kind of just... Found it out here. No one's ever come by saying it's theirs, so it's pretty much mine at this point.\"\n\nZ: When she was introduced into Trip's home, she decided to snoop around, walking around the hut and peeked around.\n\n\"Oooooh. It looks all nice-o!\"\n\nL: \"Thanks! There isn't a whole lot here, but I've always liked this place.\" Trip sits down on a chair to relax for the moment.\n\nZ: \"I don't mind it really! I think the lil space is better when its not alone and all.\"\n\nL: \"Same here, it's nice to finally have someone else around here with me.\"\n\nZ: \"Heh. And it is nice to do stuff with yah now than before!\"\n\nL: \"Yep, today's been pretty good so far! Even with the little bit of drowning we both did.\"\n\nZ: \"Hehe. You did look cute when that happened to yah.\"\n\nL: Trip blushes. \"I-I'd actually wanted to say that about you when you drowned too, but I figured it'd sound kind of weird...\"\n\nZ: \"Oh!\"\nShe blushed a tad bit\n\"Well I'm fine with you being truthful like that.\"\n\nL: \"Yeah, now that you said I looked cute drowning, it feels less weird... A-and thanks. Never really thought anything good could come from drowning, but here we are...\"\n\nZ: \"Yep. Plus you did say before that you have been taking a lot of trips under so it was more of a when than a if.\"\n\nL: \"It was definitely going to happen eventually, yeah... I'm glad my first was with you, both to make it safe and let me actually kind of enjoy it.\"\n\nZ: \"Dont worry about it. It was all in good fun. Though you're more tougher than I thought!\"\n\nL: \"I was kind of caught off guard by how well I did too! I've always heard that people tend to pass out pretty quick when they're drowning, but I held on for a pretty long time. I think, anyway, it's a little hard to remember when I was sort of half-awake there.\"\n\nZ: \"That was the same thing for me, though could still recall moments until I felt like I can't go any longer. Its a bit interesting, espcially when I see those looks on their faces.\"\n\nL: \"Maybe I'll get better at remembering if I keep doing it... I do remember seeing that you seemed glad I was enjoying myself, at least.\"\n\nZ: \"I was, but also making sure you wouldn't be having issues down there.\"\n\nL: \"Yeah, and thanks for that. Kind of seems like I can mostly handle myself while drowning... I just need to work on being able to get myself out on my own.\"\n\nZ: \"If you need to work on it, Ill be here if you need help on getting out anytime.\n\nL: \"Good to know. I want to see if I can get myself able to last a long time drowning too, that seems like it'd be fun... And obviously give me more time to find air, too.\"\n\nZ: \"Yeah. Thats how I am able to endure visiting aquatic areas and homes like that one picture.\"\n\nL: \"Good to know it's possible then... Any advice for training that? 'Cause I can't imagine it's gonna be easy...\"\n\nZ: \"For me, I more or less learned by trial and error, and experience. For you, you need to find your own steps.\"\n\nL: \"Right, that makes sense... Well, at least you'll be around to help out with it.\"\n\nZ: \"Of course. Im not those types to back out. Its stupid!\"\n\nL: \"Exactly, I don't like backing down from challenges either. Even though it'll be kind of weird to intentionally drown myself a bunch of times.\"\n\nZ: \"Hey maybe while you do your things, I could make a course if I can. Helps you with a lot-a-stuff!\"\n\nL: \"That ought to help, sure! You have more experience with all this, so any help you can give would be pretty great.\"\n\nZ: \"Yeppers!\"\nShe gave a thumbs up before laying down on the floor\n\nL: \"Oh, hang on, I'll go get that extra mattress for you.\" Trip gets up and hauls a small-ish mattress from a nearby box, laying it out for Rose. \"There, that ought to be more comfortable than the floor.\"\n\nZ: Once Trip laid down the matress, she stood up before laying down again but this time felt the mattress\n\"Oh yeah this feels better.\"\n\nL: \"Yeah, no sense in making you lay on the floor when this is an option.\"\n\n{Note from lolboy: The RP was slowing down here and both of us were losing interest. I got permission to just write an ending for it}\n\nThe two continue to talk for a while, before the exhaustion from the day's events - particularly the drowning - catches up with them. Soon, they fall asleep together, with Trip still happy to have made a new friend at last.", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "L: On a sunny day on one of the Northstar Islands, a red feathered bird woman has just arrived. While she doesn't know what to expect of the area, and maybe not even what it's called, she's ready to explore and see what's around.

Z: The red bird looked around the shores, wondering in curiousity on why such a nice place is not even on the map, before walking off the row boat and to the forest.

L: After a while, it seems like the bird may not be alone. As she continues, she can hear somewhat subtle movement in nearby bushes, as something or someone seems to be following her while trying not to be noticed...

Z: The bird heard the bushes rustle about, though when seeing nothing really emerging, she shrugged it off and kept moving, running in deeper into the forest while having her hands in her pockets.

L: Whatever's following her is able to keep up, at least for a while. Eventually, there's a thud as it seems to trip on something, followed by a little nervous-sounding whine.

Z: That got her attention and she turned back as she heard both those things, stopping before walking to where it sounded and moved some leaves from the bushes.

L: She quickly discovers who'd been following her: A nearly naked lizard woman, with an orange and red body, wearing only a large helmet that obscures her face. She tries to get up at first, before realizing the bird's spotted her, then just freezes up and stares at her through the helmet.

Z: Rose blushed at the sight of the almost bare bodied sungazer and stared at her for a moment before slowly backing away before walking off, thinking if that was someone just minding their buisness, she shouldn't barge into it.

L: As Rose starts walking off, the sungazer manages to gather enough courage to say something. "...H-hang on! I-I'm, um... C-curious about you..." She gets up, while trying to keep her breasts and vagina covered.

Z: Rose was surpised to hear her again and looked back while seeing her covering herself.
"Curious? Huh. Are you a dweller on this island? Its been...really forgotten to time.'

L: "Y-yeah, I am... Um... M-my name's Trip. Y-you're the first n-new person I've seen here in... A-a long time."

Z: "Hm. Name's Rose. Don't worry, I won't be in your hair for long. Just ended up here and was curious of what this place was."

L: "Th-this is the Northstar Islands... Th-there aren't many people living here, m-mainly just animals. I-it's why I don't usually wear much."

Z: "Northstar...nice name. It's ok, I'm not looking at your body. Seems rude to do so."
She kept walking while conversating with the lizard

L: "O-okay, thanks..." Trip seems to get a little less nervous at that. "Um... I live not too far from here, if you want to see my home..."

Z: "Hm? Sure. A simple visit would be good."
Rose shrugged before beginning to follow Trip

L: Trip smiles a little, and leads Rose. After a few minutes of travel, the two arrive outside a cottage next to a relatively small lake.

"Well, here we are... It's not really much, but I've always been happy with it..."

Z: Rose kept walking behind Trip before seeing the cottage, and how clear the small lake was.

"How...long you been living by yourself?"

L: "Maybe a couple years by now... Some friends visit every now and then, so it's not too bad. But, just having animals around is usually enough for me."

Z: "Well...it is a nice place."
Rose admired the place a bit before patting Trip on the back.

L: "Thanks... I-I'm gonna go get dressed, so I don't have to keep covering myself like this... Give me a minute." Trip rushes into her home. A couple minutes later, she returns clothed, and having taken her helmet off as well, her blushing face finally visible.

Z: "Ok.."
Rosa waited while humming, tapping her foot on the ground before seeing Trip come back in her clothes and surpisingly not wearing her helmet.
"Hm? Not wearing that?"

L: "I-I'm starting to feel a bit better around you... N-nothing against you, I just tend to be nervous around new people."

Z: "Its fine. I dont mind at all. Even if you were butt naked like earlier. If thats what you like then its ok."

L: "...M-maybe eventually... But anyway, um... I guess we could just hang out for now. What do you like to do?"

Z: "I don't know. I'm kinda staying caucious of this place."

L: "I can probably keep you safe, I know enough about all this... Oh, do you like water? Sometimes I like going for walks in that lake."

Z: That caught her off guard before looking at her.
"I don't mind swimming...hell I had moments myself."
She shown off on her phone to Trip of what she meant.

{Note from lolboy: Zantzu sent me a couple drawings of Rose either drowning or about to}

L: Trip blushes heavily as she looks at those pictures. "O-oh, you... I-I guess you're not very afraid of drowning, huh?"

Z: "Eh. It happens more often to me so it doesn't really budge me on it. All part of the gig I do back on the mainland."
She shrugged and closed her eyes.

L: "W-well, you shouldn't have to worry about that here, there's a good amount of bubble vents on the bottom. I'm lucky I've never drowned before, honestly..."

Z: "Really? I never really seen those before. What we have are air tanks."

L: "I've never tried one of those... But, for some reason, I've always preferred the thought of just holding my breath instead of using one..."

Z: "Now it might now give me the chance to try your style..."

L: "Big bubbles are easier to grab than you'd think, but I'll try to help you if you can't figure it out."

Z: "I never seen bubbles you can just...grab. Seems out of the ordinary for me."
Rose shrugged while adjusting her shirt

L: "I've never really thought about it before, but that does sound weird... You get used to it though."

Z: "Hope I do."
Rose headed to the dock and did small hops to warm herself up

L: Trip follows Rose there, doing some deep breathing. "S-something I need to tell you, um... I can't swim. Not because of what I'm wearing, I just can't."

Z: Ro:"Oh don't worry...I cant either but more or less accepted it."
She smirked a bit before rubbing her head

L: "Okay, at least I won't be the only one... I'm ready whenever you are."

Z: Rose nodded before taking off her shirt and pants, leaving herself in her undergardments before preparing.

L: Trip blushes at that, clearly not yet comfortable with doing the same... She sits on the edge of the dock, getting herself ready to head underwater.

Z: Rose noticed Trip blushed and chuckled before sitting besides her while her legs crossed.

L: Trip smiles at Rose, trying not to make it obvious that she's looking them over.

Z: Rose didnt see Trip looking at her, even getting a tad lost in watching the waters ripple.

L: After a bit, Trip realizes she should probably stop, looking into the water. "Um... How good are you at holding your breath?"

Z: "I...dont know. I never really recorded or took note of how my breah holding is."
She closed her eyes and shrugged

L: "Hopefully we'll be fine... I can go a few minutes at a time, but maybe we'll stick close to bubble vents for a while first just in case."

Z: "Yeah...allows me to try inhaling or grabbing one because it sounds like fake."

L: "It's for real, I promise. And if it doesn't work for you for some reason, I'll help you get back to shore."

Z: "Okay...guess I am ready then."
Rose began to take a large deep breath before jumping off the dock

L: Trip takes one last deep breath and follows Rose down, splashing into the water and beginning to sink toward the bottom.

Z: Rose was flailing her arms a bit as she was sinking down, bubbles leaking out her beak's nose while legs swayed a bit.

L: Trip is a bit more calm, trying to stay close to Rose and stay relaxed. The bottom's still a bit of distance away, but it's visible, and a couple spots in view have little bubbles rising up from them.

Z: She noticed some bubbles from the lake's bottom spew out and was a tad curious, seeing how deep it was with it looking like some ruins a bit.

L: As the descent continues, Trip has a look around, deciding where to go with Rose first... She figures that, after she introduces Rose to breathing from bubbles, she could show them around the ruins.

Z: Rose felt the decent to keep on going...and going, her cheeks puffing up while soft red, bubbling while adjusting her panties a bit due to her kicking making it stretch against her.

L: Every now and then, Trip sneaks a glance at Rose's body, blushing a bit each time. She certainly doesn't have the confidence to say it yet, but she's enjoying the bird's company more than she expected... She bubbles a little as she tries not to get too distracted.

Z: Eventually, Rose would finally land at the bottom, landing with a muffled grunt before looking to Trip to see how does she do it when she does these trips

L: Trip lands more smoothly than Rose had, being more used to doing this. After a glance up toward the surface, she gestures for Rose to follow her as she leads the way to one of the bubble vents.

Z: Rose looked up to see how deep she was before seeing Trip motioning her to follow her before nodding, running the best she can after her.

L: With all the practice she's had at this, Trip keeps up a good pace despite being underwater. It takes about 20 seconds to get to the closest bubble vent, and as if on cue, a large bubble forms from it and begins floating up.

Z: Rose was...still running, a bit sloppy in the water as her arms flailed while bubbles spewed out her closed beak lips, body wobbling.

L: Not realizing how much of a lead she'd gotten on Rose, Trip grabs the big bubble and holds onto it as she starts heading back over to the bird.

Z: Rose saw Trip carrying the bubble to her and was...surpised a bit...someone is really being considerate to her? Thats...odd...whats she planning?

L: Trip wonders whether she should first demonstrate how to breathe one of these bubbles... She holds hers out to Rose in case they happen to get it first try, though she's ready to go back over to the bubble vent to show how to do it if Rose can't get it.

Z: Rose decided to try at least herself, grabbing the bubble as soft as she can before pressing her beak to the bubble to try and inhale it...it feels rubbery...

L: Sure enough, Rose is able to get her beak inside the bubble, allowing her to safely inhale it.

Z: And Rose took a large inhale in and felt the bubble enter her beak so seemlessly with a loud gulp.

L: Trip smiles and nods, glad Rose was able to figure it out. She goes back over to the bubble vent anyway, grabbing one for herself and breathing it in, wanting to be as well off as possible.

Z: The canary watched how Trip inhales it and saw the whole bubble gulped down before being intregued by how the island works.

L: Fully refreshed, Trip starts with the next part of what she'd planned, starting to lead Rose to the nearby ruins that had been visible from above.

Z: And Rose began to follow Trip to the ruins, walking besides her carefully to where it was.

L: It looks like there might not be any more bubble vents coming up, at least for now... But Trip is confident anyway, having spent some time in the underwater ruins on her own in the past.

Z: Though seems Rose will need a tad of help traversing, seeing that she has to go through the ruins without the aid of air bubbles...

L: Trip hopes that Rose happens to have a good breath hold, though knowing that they've drowned before does make her a little more confident that the bird won't have much trouble. Still, she makes sure to keep track of how they're doing.

Z: Rose was a good holder with her experiences drowning and all, as she used her arms swaying while moving to help with her movements in the water.

L: Arriving at the ruins, Trip starts to go inside, but pauses, looking back to make sure Rose is comfortable going in there.

Z: Rose was trying to work with the soft feeling with how deep she was, looking at Trip while walking in.

L: Trip follows Rose inside. The ruins seem to have held up decently well despite their age, though parts of the ceiling are open above the two divers and there's some stone rubble around.

Z: Rose made sure to watch her step, feeling that the water might have the floor be a bit loose from time and moisture.

L: Trip is careful as well, though is able to go a bit faster than Rose, being more familiar with the area. Despite the continuing lack of air sources, she's staying calm.

Z: She felt...a tad nervous on the whole place due to it being her first time in such a place, as she usually sees ruins in pictures or using drones for it.

L: Gradually, Trip begins to show a need for air... But she's not too concerned about it yet, still enjoying showing Rose around the ruins.

Z: Rose felt the same thing, her pupils slightly shrunk while moving a tad faster, bubbles spilling out her closed beak.

L: Seeing the state Rose is in, Trip tries to remember where any air could be found in the ruins... She leads Rose in a different direction, hoping she's remembering correctly that there's a bubble vent that way.

Z: The bird followed Trip down a different corridoor, walking through the ruins and despite that her chest was heaving...the place did look peaceful.

L: There's hardly even any fish around, mainly just the two explorers, with the only sounds being their bubbling and grunting. Trip pinches her nose shut to try to keep her air in better.

Z: Rose held her beak closed with her whole winged hand, trying to slow her bubbling down while walking besides her.

L: As they go, they can soon finally hear occasional bloops like they'd heard from the bubble vents outside. And, not long after, they enter a room that has one of those, finally giving them a chance to breathe!

Z: Her eyes widen and when seeing one of the bubbles emerge with the sounding bloop...seeing it wobble so enticingly, made her chest heave harder with her cheeks turning deep purple before running to it with a loud gurgle!

L: Trip quickly goes for the bubble as well, but stops herself to let Rose have the first one. Having more experience with holding her breath, she figures she can wait for the next, even as she's blushing quite a bit from strain.

Z: Rose tried to reach for it but barely slipped out of her grasp, and now had to wait for the next one to appear, crouching down and looked at the crack, seeing it spew tiny bubbles...

L: Coming up next to Rose, Trip stares at the crack too, her blush beginning to tint purple like Rose's. She tries to stay calm, trusting that another meaningful bubble will come soon.

Z: She tapped her foot talon on the ground...seeing one bubble after another...a lot of small, and an occasional medium one but not able to inhale that all.

L: Trip slowly gets increasingly frustrated as this bubble vent take its sweet time with giving out a substantial bubble... Her lungs are getting a burning feeling, and she covers her mouth with her free hand.

Z: Rose was just wanting to inhale some sweet air but the bubble vent isnt just spewing anything out, debating on just running to go find another one out on her own...

L: Trip tries to cup her hands and catch some of the smaller bubbles, intending to at least breathe those and tide herself over. But, her frustration is beginning to turn to panic as she wonders whether she and Rose should just run outside and go for a more cooperative bubble vent...

Z: Though when Rose bolted out the area to try and find another bubble vent, a large enough bubble soon came out from it...typical, as the bird has no idea that it even came out the other vent.

L: While she'd been just about to follow Rose, Trip stops as she hears the big bubble form. "Mmm! Roblse!" She calls out to the bird despite losing air from doing so, and grabs the big bubble to bring it to them, willing to wait longer to get air for herself.

Z: Rose skid on the ground when hearing Trip's voice bubbled out before glancing back to see the sungazer running to her with the wobbling large bubble and felt her lungs becoming more desperate by the second, and when she got close, she grabbed the bubble and pressed her beak into it, taking such a loud and large inhale from it.

L: Trip gives Rose a quick thumbs-up before covering her mouth and nose again. It's beginning to be a real issue that she's gone so long without breathing, as she whines some and looks over at the bubble vent again, hoping it won't keep her waiting long this time.

Z: Rose felt her air soothed and cheeks lessened and back to normal but noticed Trip was in that position...thinking maybe she might have to share some air to ease her waiting...

L: Trip looks back over at the bubble vent, which of course has gone right back to taking its time to make another big bubble... Her cheeks start to go blue as she tightly shuts her eyes.

Z: Rose knew that the sungazer wont last any longer before grabbing her waist and pulled her in to kiss her lips...and to share her air to her.

L: Trip's blush gets quite a bit more intense at that kiss, and it takes her a moment to realize what Rose is doing. She carefully inhales from the bird, trying not to take too much of their air despite how badly she needs it, the color of her cheeks fading back toward normal.

Z: Rose kept kissing and pushing air until her air was at half, before parting the kiss with a bubbly gurgle, bubbles spilled out before looking away a bit from embarssament

L: A little awkward about it herself, Trip tries not to think about that too much. Now that she's doing okay again, she wonders whether it'd be better to wait for another bubble or just resume exploring.

Z: Rose felt a bit on the thought a lot, even adjusting her cap while blushing red, not from air but from emotion.

L: Figuring things will go fine as long as she and Rose are more careful, Trips decides to continue showing the bird around, heading for the room's exit.

Z: Rose began to follow Trip out the exit, seeing some carvings on the walls about the island Trip was living...

L: Trip slows down a bit as she sees that Rose is interested in the carvings. She thinks about the best way to elaborate on them once the two surface, since she knows a good bit of the history herself.

Z: Rose felt the wall for a bit before perking up when noticing Trip see her before running back to her while having a soft smile.

L: Trip smiles back, though with only half a fresh breath in her, she's beginning to strain just a little again already. Still, she manages to keep calm for now.

Z: Rose felt the small strain as well but tried to keep her ethusiasm up as she began to grab Trip's hand and take the random lead this time.

L: Trip lets Rose lead, not really having had any ideas of where to go. She holds her nose again with her free hand, hoping to buy herself a little more time.

Z: Rose held her beak while looking to Trip before rubbing her head with her other winged hand...as it felt...oddly soothing for a walk like this.

L: Trip is beginning to feel a bit more comfortable being with Rose than she expected... She'd never gone on an underwater walk with someone before, and this one was helping a lot with her nerves despite the lack of air. She looks over at Rose, her blush now not just being from needing to breathe.

Z: Rose glanced to Trip for a moment, her blush forming more before glancing away, rubbing the back of her head while thinking that one moment she stumbled on an island and now walking with such a nice gal...

L: Feeling pretty much just as awkward as Rose seems to, Trip looks away too, trying to distract herself by looking at the surroundings.

Z: Rose felt they had been travelling for...quite some time while adjusting her cap, curious if there was even an end to how the ruins go...

L: It does seem like they've seen most of the place so far, and there doesn't seem to be any sign of there being another floor. In fact, before a whole lot longer, the two are back in the entrance room, having done a full loop of the ruin.

Z: When she realized they made a whole loop back to the entrace, she had a blank surpised look before looking at her before looking behind at the doorway they just exited...and it was just a wall again.

L: Trip is a little confused, looking around the room... And when she notices the way the two had come from is suddenly closed off, it's clear from her expression that that's something she hasn't seen in these ruins before.

Z: Rose looked to Trip with a shrug, as she got no clue on how it even happened but...hey...at least it wasn't a bad thing and keeping them stuck.

L: Trip shrugs back, figuring she ought to look into the place a bit more sometime... Then, she remembers how low on breath she is, and quickly covers her mouth. "Mmmh!"

Z: "Mmhblghb!"
Her chest heaving reminded her of the same thing and since they were at the entrance, the surface is viewable as Rose was trying to swim up the best she could there...attempting at least.

L: Trip doesn't even bother trying to swim, knowing she can't. She starts heading outside, looking for where the nearest bubble vent is and hoping it's not too far.

Z: Rose soon sank onto her rear before noticing Trip walking outside and tried to quickly follow her outside...her arms flailing to try and get some speed.

L: As Trip's blush goes purple again, she motions for Rose to follow as she starts swim-running toward what she believes to be the closest bubble vent, hoping she and Rose will be able to last long enough to get there.

Z: And Rose was trying her best but sometimes, she slow down due to not having her footing in the water, her blush was a bit more purple than her...

L: Not wanting to leave Rose behind, Trip does her best to help the bird along despite gradually getting closer to running out of breath. Bubbles constantly trickle away from her lips as she fights to not lose much air.

Z: Rose felt her cheeks puff a bit more while it slowly turning blue...feeling the air need becoming greater...and greater...as she tries to run to the closest bubble vent
5

L: Trip's lungs are burning, and she constantly whines as her chest heaves. She does her best to keep moving, rebreathing in her cheeks and keeping both hands on her mouth.

Z: Rose was holding her throat with both her hands now as she made muffled grunts while looking up to the surface, thinking its going to be another of these moments...
4

L: While she remembers that this wouldn't be Rose's first time drowning, Trip still doesn't want them to have to go through it. She considers giving them some of her air, but knows it won't do much... She keeps rushing for the bubble vent, planning on letting Rose take the first big bubble again.

Z: Rose started to slow down as she felt herself losing the energy to keep going, her eyelids lowered while bubbles seeped out more from her beak.
3

L: "Mmm!" Seeing the state of Rose, Trip tries to comfort them for a moment, then looks over at the bubble vent. There's no way the bird is going to make it in time... Trip shudders as her own blush starts going blue.

Z: "Mmh...mmm..."
The bird started to feel a tad woozy from the airless feeling, her legs trying to kick to swim but wasnt going anywhere...

L: As much as Trip doesn't want to leave Rose, she knows that their best chance would be the sungazer just bringing them a bubble... But she also doesn't want Rose to be alone while they drown, because she knows it probably can't be prevented at this point... She decides to stay with the bird for now, trying not to panic.

Z: Rose noticed the sungazer not moving ahead as she felt her beak trying to open to take that inahle, and she tried to motion to her that she'll be ok, her pupils shrunk while pointing to the bubble.

L: Trip considers for a moment, then nods, bolting for the bubble vent. She really doesn't want this to be her first drowning, and she goes as fast as she can, almost feeling as if a timer had started up to count down to when she runs out of breath.
5

Z: Rose waved a bit to Trip in a bit of motivation before looking up to see her bubbles spilling out of her beak so much...and noticing the number
1

L: Increasingly frantic as she starts feeling a bit dizzy, Trip tries to stay focused. A big bubble comes out from the bubble vent ahead of her, but it'll be too far above her by the time she gets there, so she's going to have to wait for another...
4

Z: Though when Trip was waiting, Rose reached her limit and her beak finally opened in a large bubbly burst, beak wide open before soon taking in those needed gulps..
0

L: Trip almost gasps as she hears Rose breathing in water, looking over and watching the bird starting to drown... Before trying to take her mind off that, staring at the bubble vent in desperation to not join Rose in drowning.
3

Z: Rose flailed her arms like shes trying to fly while gulping more and more fresh water, eyelids lowered and her body bouncing in great showing, the canary gurgling bit by bit.

L: Trip is shivering all over from her need to breathe, tightly shutting her eyes and just listening for a big bubble to form, which it still just stubbornly refuses to do.
2

Z: Rose started to flail less, landing on her butt while gulping more, her cap floated off and away while she was having another drowned moment...

L: Trip drops to her knees, her struggles beginning to slow some. She's getting so dizzy from holding her breath so long she's starting to have trouble focusing, as her trickling bubbles slowly come to a stop, her lungs just about empty...
1

Z: Then the bubble soon came up as Trip was at 1 while the bird was gulping away, sitting at the ruin's entrance as her lungs filled up more and more.

L: Almost not noticing in time, Trip lunges at the bubble and immediately gasps it down, taking in the whole thing as her blush fades back to purple, then red. She finally starts to relax a bit... Before remembering Rose is drowning, and now there's no air for them. Trip quickly starts running over to them.

Z: Rose was in a sort of floating back position, her body swayed so peacefully while taking nice gulps of water as Trip was running to her.

L: Seeing how relaxed Rose now looks makes Trip pause for a moment... Before she shakes her head, and tries to hold onto the waterlogged bird and pull them along to the bubble vent.

Z: It was easy doing so besides how a bit heavier she was from being waterlogged, her breasts bobbing about from the dragging.

L: Despite how much danger Rose is clearly in, Trip can't help but glance over at the bird's breasts, watching them jiggle around. Maybe after this she'd ask Rose if they'd be willing to be fully nude with her...

Z: She wouldnt mind as Rose was still waterlogged, still drowned and in a cute little pose made by the bird

L: Trip soon brings Rose to the bubble vent, setting the bird down while waiting for a bubble to give them. In the meantime, she watches Rose, wondering what it must feel like to be drowning.

Z: After some time, another bubble soon came out while Rose was still drowned and floated barely off the ground

L: Trip grabs the bubble and carefully pushes it into Rose's mouth while holding their nostrils shut, hoping that'll revive them.

Z: And Rose woken up with a bubbly grunt before shaking around and saw...her again, surpised to see her here still

L: With a smile, Trip gestures toward the shore, figuring it's high time she and Rose finally actually surfaced.

Z: Rose nodded with a smile and began to jog the way back but the shorts shrank due the water and was riding her ass cheeks

L: As Trip follows, she blushes as she sees the surprisingly good view of Rose's butt... While she knows better than to do anything with it without asking, she can't help but look over at it every now and then.

Z: Watching it wobble per step while Rose kept walking to the shore before after some time, she finally made it with a loud gasp and huff before laying down on the grassy edge

L: Trip soon surfaces as well with a gasp of her own, getting out of the water while panting a bit to then sit down next to Rose. "S-sorry you ended up drowning... S-stupid unreliable bubble vents..."

Z: "I-Its...okay, h-heh...just feel like it just knows when we need it. B-But its fine...Im used to it..."

L: "Still, this was supposed to be casual..." Trip sighs. "...Did you at least have fun exploring down there?"

Z: "I did! But...sorry if I made it a tad...complicated..."
She glanced away, feeling she could had done better

L: After a moment of silence, with Trip silently gathering her courage, she speaks up again. "U-um... I was sort of... L-looking at you, down there. Y-your butt, and, um... Breasts. I-I hope that's okay..."

Z: Rose blushed red but...without saying anything, her winged hand went to rub her rear in response
"Dont worry...I dont mind it."

L: Trip sighs in relief. "Okay, good, you're not mad... Th-then, maybe... W-we could go naked together? I-I think I'd be okay with that now..."

Z: Rose had a bright blush but smiled and soon took off her casual clothes, revealing her nice bird tits out in full view and rear before winking at her

L: Trip smiles as her blush gets more intense... Slowly, she undresses too, instinctively covering herself for a moment, before taking a deep breath and releasing it as she lowers her arms, allowing her bare body to be seen.

Z: And when the bird saw Trip was now bare nude like her, she made an 'Aww!" and when to pull her in a firm hug!
"You look so cute! Heh!"

L: "Th-thanks..." Trip hugs Rose back, loving feeling the bird's feathers against her, as her worries begin to quickly fade.

Z: "Where ya nervous? Cause truthfully when I first met ya, I thought you were going to harm me!"

L: "I was nervous, yeah... I wouldn't have tried to hurt you, there's no way I'd do that to someone I just met. I was just really curious about you."

Z: "Ah. Sorry for assuming! Usually when these things happen, I ended up getting chased and all!"
She chuckled

L: "It's fine, I need to get better at talking to people... That's kind of hard to do when there's no one else around." Trip laughs a little too.

Z: "Seems from the look, its just you...though...curious if you would like for me to stay with yah?"

L: "...I-If you wouldn't mind, yeah. It'd be nice to actually have someone here with me, it's been kind of lonely..."

Z: "Then dont worry then, you won't feel alone any longer!"
She petted her head

L: Trip smiles at Rose. "Thank you! I'll do my best to help you get comfortable out here, it's easier than you might think."

Z: "Ill try my best to learn how ya do it and feel this can be nice!"
She gave a thumbs up, bouncing a bit

L: "I think, for now, we ought to just relax. Definitely no more diving for a bit at least, getting so close to drowning kind of got me out of the mood for that..."

Z: "Eh, understandable."
She leaned against the tree while relaxing, letting her feathers dry up by the sun

L: Trip sits down next to them with a relaxed sigh, trying to get herself past the surreal feeling of just casually being nude right next to someone.

Z: Rose was more usually comfortable being nude due to just doing that at her home and occasionally going out for those aquatic moments, eyes closed and hands behind her head.

L: As her anxiousness fades, a new question enters Trip's mind... She looks up at Rose. "Hey, um... What's it like to drown? Just so I can sort of get myself ready if it's ever unavoidable for me..."

Z: "Hm? You wonder how it feels? You know the burning feeling when holding? For me, its more like, the flame being  extinguished. Soothing, despite just inhaling and gurgling a lot. Oddly nice at times."

L: "That... Doesn't sound so bad... I hope it turns out to work the same for me, it'd be nice to not really have to worry about it that much."

Z: "Would...you like to try it? Im here."

L: "U-um..." Trip thinks for a few seconds... "...I-I think I do. Maybe it'll help me not be as worried about drowning..."

Z: "Whenever you feel ready, just let me know...ok?"

L: "Yeah, just... Give me a little while..." A couple minutes pass as Trip mentally prepares herself, before she finally gets up. "O-okay, I'm ready."

Z: Once seeing Trip get ready, she waited for her to enter first while watching

L: Trip nervously goes to the water, getting in deep enough that only her head is above the surface. She starts taking deep breaths, both to calm herself and to prepare her lungs.

Z: Rose made sure to stay above while rubbing her shoulderd to help her stay calm

L: Trip looks over at Rose, smiling a little... Then, with one more deep breath, Trip jumps forward, sinking fully underwater.

Z: Rose stayed above to get an air advantage so she can fish her out when the time comes and she wont be like her

L: Trip gets a bit of distance from the shore, enough that she can't just easily run back out if she panics, and sits down, trying to relax.

Z: Rose soon took a deep breath before running in the water after her so she can sit besides her

L: Trip looks at Rose a little nervously, but trusts that the bird will help her once she drowns. For now, all there really is for either of them to do is wait for Trip to run out of breath...

Z: Rose rubbed Trip on the head and when sat down, she moved the sungazer to her lap and enjoy the scenery

L: After a little smile at Rose, Trip starts looking around the area to pass the time, trying not to think about her eventual drowning for the moment.

Z: Rose closed her eyes and oddly felt the time pass a bit more

L: Gradually, Trip feels more and more of a need to breathe... Eventually she instinctively covers her mouth, starting to struggle a little.

Z: And when she felt Trip struggle, she made sure to hold her waist to make her keep sitting

L: Trip has to keep reminding herself that she wants this as fear starts to build up. Bubbles keep leaking away from her more and more over time, and she blushes from strain.

Z: Rose tried to think on what to help so she kissed her forehead while messaging her chest with her hands to try and ease her fears.

L: Trip blushes a lot at the kiss, and manages to relax just a little... But as she begins to feel a burning in her lungs, she squirms in place, the slightest bit of purple appearing in her blush.

Z: "Dbloinbg wbleblb Tblrblip!"
She rubbed her legs as she felt her squirming and placed her own head on Trip's

L: While she smiles a little at that, Trip tightly shuts her eyes and whines a little, starting to close in on the state she was in just before she got that last bubble in the previous dive.

Z: She was starting to get red cheeks but felt this was good enough of a gap so she wouldnt drown together like her, hearing her whine and smooched her head

L: Not too long after, Trip's blush starts going blue, and a countdown starts up. She shivers a little, trying not to panic, but her willpower is beginning to falter.
5

Z: Rose started to prepare herself and hold the sungazer tightly on her lap, making sure that if her willpower ends, she will be ready to hold

L: For the moment, Trip stays in place, struggling harder and harder as bubbles stream from her lips. She lowers her head, fighting to keep herself from trying to go anywhere.
4

Z: "Dblonblt fblighbt iblt...Iblm heblrbe Tblribp..."
She felt the struggles harder and being weaker than her, it was hard

L: Hearing Rose reassuring her, Trip manages to calm herself a little, relaxing just a bit in Rose's hold. Still, she's shivering, trying to rebreathe in her cheeks as the burning in her lungs continues getting more intense.
3

Z: And she tried to think on how to let her try earlier, she tried to tickle her toes a bit with a smirk, hoping it would work in a way

L: Despite the strain she's under, Trip squirms a bit at the tickling, her desperate grunts and whines starting to be interspersed with little giggles.
2

Z: And she felt the grip to be wavering, feeling the squirming to be at its peak, eyes widen from the squirming

L: Trip keeps fighting to hold in what little is left of her breath, starting to actually struggle to get loose from Rose at this point. Though, with how dizzy and lightheaded she's gotten, her struggles aren't really that effective.
1

Z: And she stood her ground, feeling her cheeks deep red and felt her heaves to get more apparent but felt fine...though seeing Trip about to burst, she rubbed her affectionally to her

L: Trip doesn't even react to that, too panicked to notice it.
0
The sungazer exhales a huge cloud of bubbles, before audibly gasping down water. At that point, she freezes up for a moment, her eyes wide as she briefly holds in the water she inhaled... Then she coughs it back out before gasping again, and repeating as she starts to drown.

Z: Rose then let go, and watched how Trip drowns, since everyone has their own style, while she made soft bubbly grunts, cheeks turning soft purple while hearing her gasping

L: Once she's freed, Trip tries to swim up, completely failing to do so as she'd said would be the case earlier. She keeps trying regardless, gurgling painfully while desperately hopping up and down, her breasts bouncing as she does.

Z: Rose saw her try and watched how her breasts and butt bounce from flailing, blushing red with her purple tint and hearing those gurgles...thinking maybe it might be a different results for her

L: Before too long, as Trip weakens, she's not able to keep jumping any more. Her choking calms to just slow breathing, and after standing in place for a couple seconds, she falls on her butt and ends up sitting down on the bottom of the lake, waterlogged but still awake.

Z: Rose walked to Trip who was breathing in water while seeing her sitting down. She knealed on her one knee and made sure to see if she wasnt minding the feeling and if not, she can take her out no issue.

L: But, it seems there's nothing to worry about in that regard, as Trip is sleepily smiling, clearly enjoying herself. A hiccup makes her bubble out the last tiny bit of air left in her, and she makes no attempt to get to the surface.

Z: Rose smiled a bit more, seeing how Trip was enjoying this now before rubbing her cheek and beginning to take her to shore with a caring look

L: Trip limply relaxes as Rose brings her along, hardly even seeming to notice she's being moved. Her watery breathing is gradually slowing down as her face goes a deeper blue, though her enjoyment remains.

Z: Rose soon began to felt her own lungs beginning to beg for air and sped up while admiring Trip's drowned look, though happy that she looked like she was enjoying it.

L: Trip blearily watches Rose as she's carried, doing her best to stay awake. While she's a bit heavy from the water in her lungs, she's still light enough to be easily carried.

Z: She felt Trip to be like a full backpack, not light but definitely not luggage type before eventually she broke the surface with a loud gasp before settling her down to do a quick revive

L: Surprisingly, Rose doesn't really need to do anything as Trip still has enough strength to recover on her own. After weakly slurping down her first breath of air in a while, she begins spitting up water and gasping, the colors of her face starting to go back to normal.

Z: And that was surpising since she needs assistance for that and was a bit caught off guard from Trip waking up on her own.
"Ay, ya good?"

L: Panting heavily, Trip nods as she coughs a few times. "Th-think I'm fine..." Her voice is a bit hoarse, but she's gradually looking better.

Z: Feeling relieved, she patted Trip's back before letting her rest, tossing some stones to skip em ahead on the water.

L: Over a little while, Trip recovers, her breathing going to a casual pace and her blush fading away... Then coming back as she thinks about what she just went through. "So, that, um... K-kind of felt weirdly good..."

Z: "Yep. Seems you got what I got. Lucky gal ain't cha?
*Rose tossed a few more rocks before tossing one up and down while looking to Trip.

L: "I guess that IS pretty lucky, I don't really have to be scared of drowning... A-at least while someone's around to get me out, anyway."

Z: "Same goes for you! Usually some aquatic others who get me outta there."

L: "That makes sense... I-if you'd be up for it sometime, maybe we could just kind of... L-let ourselves drown together? Maybe not today though, it might not be good for us to drown twice so soon..."

Z: "Heh. I get it. My lungs need to dry up tonight either way."
Rose patted her head before beginning to find a spot to make for a lil sleeping area.

L: "Yeah, same here. We may as well just head to my house, it'll be more comfortable than anywhere out here. I could probably put out a spare mattress for you or something. Unless you're okay with sharing my bed..."

Z: "Hm? You...got a mattress? Oh thank goodness. I thought I have to sleep on leaves for a goodnight sleep."

L: "No worries, I've got a fairly good home. Let's head in and get dried off." Trip gets up and starts leading the way to her house.

Z: Rose began to follow Trip down the place to her home, wondering what was it going to look like.

L: Trip's home comes into view before long. It's a fairly basic-looking place, sort of looking like a large hut, but it's in good condition.

"I didn't make it myself, I kind of just... Found it out here. No one's ever come by saying it's theirs, so it's pretty much mine at this point."

Z: When she was introduced into Trip's home, she decided to snoop around, walking around the hut and peeked around.

"Oooooh. It looks all nice-o!"

L: "Thanks! There isn't a whole lot here, but I've always liked this place." Trip sits down on a chair to relax for the moment.

Z: "I don't mind it really! I think the lil space is better when its not alone and all."

L: "Same here, it's nice to finally have someone else around here with me."

Z: "Heh. And it is nice to do stuff with yah now than before!"

L: "Yep, today's been pretty good so far! Even with the little bit of drowning we both did."

Z: "Hehe. You did look cute when that happened to yah."

L: Trip blushes. "I-I'd actually wanted to say that about you when you drowned too, but I figured it'd sound kind of weird..."

Z: "Oh!"
She blushed a tad bit
"Well I'm fine with you being truthful like that."

L: "Yeah, now that you said I looked cute drowning, it feels less weird... A-and thanks. Never really thought anything good could come from drowning, but here we are..."

Z: "Yep. Plus you did say before that you have been taking a lot of trips under so it was more of a when than a if."

L: "It was definitely going to happen eventually, yeah... I'm glad my first was with you, both to make it safe and let me actually kind of enjoy it."

Z: "Dont worry about it. It was all in good fun. Though you're more tougher than I thought!"

L: "I was kind of caught off guard by how well I did too! I've always heard that people tend to pass out pretty quick when they're drowning, but I held on for a pretty long time. I think, anyway, it's a little hard to remember when I was sort of half-awake there."

Z: "That was the same thing for me, though could still recall moments until I felt like I can't go any longer. Its a bit interesting, espcially when I see those looks on their faces."

L: "Maybe I'll get better at remembering if I keep doing it... I do remember seeing that you seemed glad I was enjoying myself, at least."

Z: "I was, but also making sure you wouldn't be having issues down there."

L: "Yeah, and thanks for that. Kind of seems like I can mostly handle myself while drowning... I just need to work on being able to get myself out on my own."

Z: "If you need to work on it, Ill be here if you need help on getting out anytime.

L: "Good to know. I want to see if I can get myself able to last a long time drowning too, that seems like it'd be fun... And obviously give me more time to find air, too."

Z: "Yeah. Thats how I am able to endure visiting aquatic areas and homes like that one picture."

L: "Good to know it's possible then... Any advice for training that? 'Cause I can't imagine it's gonna be easy..."

Z: "For me, I more or less learned by trial and error, and experience. For you, you need to find your own steps."

L: "Right, that makes sense... Well, at least you'll be around to help out with it."

Z: "Of course. Im not those types to back out. Its stupid!"

L: "Exactly, I don't like backing down from challenges either. Even though it'll be kind of weird to intentionally drown myself a bunch of times."

Z: "Hey maybe while you do your things, I could make a course if I can. Helps you with a lot-a-stuff!"

L: "That ought to help, sure! You have more experience with all this, so any help you can give would be pretty great."

Z: "Yeppers!"
She gave a thumbs up before laying down on the floor

L: "Oh, hang on, I'll go get that extra mattress for you." Trip gets up and hauls a small-ish mattress from a nearby box, laying it out for Rose. "There, that ought to be more comfortable than the floor."

Z: Once Trip laid down the matress, she stood up before laying down again but this time felt the mattress
"Oh yeah this feels better."

L: "Yeah, no sense in making you lay on the floor when this is an option."

{Note from lolboy: The RP was slowing down here and both of us were losing interest. I got permission to just write an ending for it}

The two continue to talk for a while, before the exhaustion from the day's events - particularly the drowning - catches up with them. Soon, they fall asleep together, with Trip still happy to have made a new friend at last.", "pools_count": 1, "title": "[RP LOG] Waters of the Northstar Islands", "deleted": "f", "public": "t", "mimetype": "text/plain", "pagecount": "1", "rating_id": "1", "rating_name": "Mature", "ratings": [ { "content_tag_id": "2", "name": "Nudity", "description": "Nonsexual nudity exposing breasts or genitals (must not show arousal)", "rating_id": "1" }, { "content_tag_id": "3", "name": "Violence", "description": "Mild violence", "rating_id": "1" } ], "submission_type_id": "12", "type_name": "Writing - Document", "guest_block": "f", "friends_only": "f", "comments_count": "0", "views": "52" }
