Vē'Êtherñøth tilts her head, watching, then picks one from near the top. She smirks at Cayden.

Cayden shrugs and wiggles one out from the bottom, watching the pile of urchins sway, waiting until it stopped before setting the urchin on top and adding another layer of algae.

Vē'Êtherñøth watches closely, then pulls another from the bottom so that it's perching precariously on one urchin. She grins at Cayden in triumph, placing the urchin carefully on the top.

Cayden slides out an urchin near the middle, out from under the algae. He sets it gently on the top and watche sintently, blowing on it enough to make it sway but not fall, making it harder for Vē'Êtherñøth.

Vē'Êtherñøth snorts. "You know, this could be a lot harder for me you know. It isn't even a challenge."

She takes another from close to the bottom, so that it's swaying even more precariously. She steadys the tower, then places the urchin down.

Cayden shrugs, and whistles. Four dolphins swim in, up and around, weaving through the game and ships, making waves, currents, and a general nuisance of themselves. "The bottlenose ones can be on your team, and the boto ones are on my team" He pulls out an urchin from the bottom and settles it on the top.

Vē'Êtherñøth laughs. "That's more like it."

She grabs another, this time close to the middle, and places it carefully.

The dolphins chitter and bring in three leatherback turtles, who make even more of a nuisance of themselves.
Cayden sits on one and pulls an urchin out from the top while steering the turtle away from eating the algae. He drops it on the top. One of the other two turtles nudges Vē'Êtherñøth, expecting food.

Vē'Êtherñøth produces some kelp for the turtle, staring at Cayden intensely. It obviously wouldn't have much effect, her being as short as she was. She continued watching him as she pulled one at the bottom, and placed it at the top. The dolphins double their efforts.

Cayden laughs as the dolphins butt him and hops off the turtle, letting it join the dolphins in whatever they’re doing. He pulls one from the second row from teh bottom, leaving it too balancing on one urchin.

Vē'Êtherñøth chuckles, then pulls one from the top and places it carefully. At this point, the tower looked like one side to a zipper.

Cayden swims away momentarily and comes back with a handful of strawberries, munching them as he does his turn. He pries another urchin from the middle and places it on top, and gently prods an urchin that was trying to escape back into place.

Vē'Êtherñøth looks surprised, then turns a baleful glare to Cayden. "You're making it float."

“Me?” Cayden adopts an offended air, though his grin somewhat kills teh effect. “We’re playing with live sea urchins! They can move. If they want to float, they can float. It makes the game more fun!”

Vē'Êtherñøth sighs and takes the bottom piece. The tower remains floating, after she gives it a fierce glare.

Cayden adds one from the middle to the top. "Now," he says, giving one of the turtles a scratch on teh flap of skin under their neck, "Shall we keep going into enternity or do something else?"

Vē'Êtherñøth shrugs. "I could do this for eternity, but right now I want to boil something."

"Hmm…" Cayden swims away again, this time returning with a handful of potatoes. "Boiled potatoes are good!"

Vē'Êtherñøth shrugs, and then the water surrounding the potatos immediately evaporates. What's left is perfectly boiled potatos.

Cayden grabs some for himself and hands some to the turtles, munching happily. He tosses one to a giant pacific octopus that had snuck in, but it shies away from the potato like it's radioactive.

there's a thought. radioactive potatoes.

Vē'Êtherñøth chuckles, devouring the one the squid didn't want, and all the rest of the potatos. She goes to find a kraken to eat afterwords. She returns after a few minutes and belches loudly.

"The krakens here are amazing." she grins.

_{Indeed. As a matter of fact, you could go to Chernobyl and get them. And radioactive mushrooms.}

Cayden grins. "The hydras are even better. They're gone now though. They'll come back in the winter. They migrate with the whales and their eggs are delicious."

Vē'Êtherñøth cuckles. "I could probably make one, honestly."

"Make one? Here?" Cayden grins. "I need to find Fathom first."

He swims away te again, this time leading back a giant squid. "Fathom lieks hydras. They make good playmates." The squid bobs her head in response, playing with the mast of a ship with her tentacles.

Vē'Êtherñøth laughs, then the water starts swirling, streaks of fire mixed in. Slowly, the outline of a hydra appears in the water, its spaghetti of heads twisting and darting around, catching fish and small giant squids. The hydra catches sight of Vē'Êtherñøth and gives a reptilian grin, nuzzling her. She laughs, then sends it to play with Fathom. "Don't eat him!"

Cayden claps his hands excitedly. "That was a cool trick. Can you bring anything else?" His eyes light up. "Bring the Methuselah tree! I like trees. The old ones are nice."
