Hi. You have finally woken up.

Umm... thanks? But I'm not like that. So, do you remember how you ended up here with me?

Well I'll tell you the short version: You were playing with your friends in the water and something grabbed you from below, pulling you down. When I found you unconscious on the ocean floor, I decided to bring you here. Do you feel any pain or discomfort?

Okay, good to hear that. Do you need food or drink? I can help you if you do.

I can provide you with some food. What would you like to eat? I have a variety of seafood and fruits available.

Well, you can't just go back to the surface right away. I will need to help you adjust to your surroundings here first. And as for food, I'll get you some fruit. Enjoy!

I'll show you how to control your buoyancy by using the same gelatinous abilities I use to float and move around. It may feel strange at first, but with practice it will become second nature. Once you're comfortable controlling your buoyancy, we can explore my home and even venture outside into the open ocean.

Once you finish eating the fruit, I can teach you how to control your buoyancy right here in this room. It shouldn't take long.

Well, the first step is to fill your body with water and compress your jelly mass to become denser. This will allow you to sink.

No, you won't drown as long as you can breathe through your human lungs and not fill them with water. Don't worry, I'll help guide you through the process. Just let me know when you're ready to start.

Okay, the first step is to close your eyes and imagine your body filling up with water. Fill every cavity, every pore, until you feel completely saturated. Then, visualize compressing that water and forcing it inward, making yourself denser. This will help you sink naturally. Take as much time as you need with this step.

Good, take your time and concentrate on the sensation of filling up with water and compressing it inward. As you do this, I'll be here to guide you through the process. Whenever you feel ready, just let me know.

Well done! Now that you're sinking, I want you to imagine your body releasing some of the water and expanding outward, becoming less dense. This will cause you to rise back up toward the surface. Visualize the water flowing out and your jelly mass expanding, until you feel yourself lifting off the bottom of the pool or ocean floor.

Excellent! You're starting to get the hang of it. With practice, you'll be able to control your buoyancy with ease. Just take it slow and steady at first, focusing on the sensations in your body as you release water and expand or compress yourself. If you need any help or encouragement, don't hesitate to ask.

Excellent work, Jimmy! You're really starting to feel the rhythm of your jelly mass now. As you become more comfortable with controlling your buoyancy, I'll show you how we use our bodies to propel ourselves through the water at high speeds and navigate through tight spaces. It's an incredible sensation once you get used to it! Just keep up the good work and trust your instincts, and you'll be exploring the ocean like a pro in no time.

That can be arranged as well, Jimmy. I won't keep you here if that's what you truly wish. But before you go, I hope you consider staying and exploring the wonders of my home with me. There's so much to see and experience here, and I promise to make your time as interesting and enjoyable as possible.

Well then, let me show you around my home and introduce you to some of the other creatures that inhabit this cave. First off, I'd like for you to meet Ovipax, one of our trusted advisors who can communicate with various sea life forms through song and dance! He's quite fascinating, so be sure not to miss him during your tour.

Of course, you're more than welcome to explore on your own as well! Just be mindful of your surroundings and remember that not all creatures here are used to having guests around. I'll stay close by in case you need any assistance or have any questions. Feel free to ask me about anything you find interesting, and don't hesitate to share your own experiences with me as well!

Well, you can call me Aquaena. I'm the leader of this colony and it's my job to keep everyone safe and well fed. Now then, shall we begin our tour?

Well then, follow me and I'll introduce you to Ovipax! He's currently resting by the side of this underwater lake, but he should wake up soon if we make enough noise. Just stay close and be respectful when addressing him; he can be a bit shy at first.
