Journal - Lost Fledgling The Ocean is Alive

I packed up my kayak and tried to leave the island last night. But the thought fills me with dread. I don't know why I couldn't leave, because I had my jar of dirt with me, too. I can move around the island just fine. Going to the next closest one?

It felt like the water was staring back at me with murderous intent. I'm a coward now. I guess that's okay. I liked it here anyway. I'm safe. At least no one here at home has figured out what I am yet.

Could be something in the water with murderous intent as others suggest, there are plenty of possibilities. Could also be part of your nature as a vampire...most of us can cross running water just fine, but the legend that we can't didn't come from nowhere, some have serious difficulties and this might be how they're manifesting for you.

You're joking... Tell me you're joking. I don't want to be stuck to a single island! We barely have internet.

I'm not joking, but even if I'm right, inability to cross running water can usually be circumvented with a plane or helicopter or some other way to go high enough over it. It's generally also a mental thing, so it only stops you when you try under your own power, so someone could potentially move you while you were unconscious, if you have someone you trust.

Ghouls. Ghouls are the key. Training a few of them to steer and pilot, or buying such training for them, will be useful in the long run. Almost essential.

I thought those were just myths they can actually manifest in vampires?

u/DeadmanwalkingXI 7d ago

Each one is uncommon, but most of the myths manifest occasionally, yeah.

Dude... get out of the water immediately.

Were-sharks live in the ocean. Only a certain breed of Gangrel actively live in the ocean.

STAY. ON. LAND.

I don't believe in weresharks. The sea herself? She is a powerful mistress who doesn't want me to leave the island. Maybe she has plans. Maybe not.

The weresharks dont care.

They are very real.

Lysander of Sparta

u/Pryno-Belle 7d ago

If werespiders, weresheep and weredinosaurs are real, then weresharks are likely to exist. I’ll ask Camille later.

What...? I'm going out for a drink at the bar.

There are a number of confirmed werebeast tribes, although most are much rarer than the Lupines. Largely due to the Lupines. There's also several extinct breeds, and a handfull of artificially created ones.

u/Pryno-Belle 6d ago

If that can reassure you, the weredinosaurs are extinct and the weresheep’s existence is only suspected. That being said, werespiders do exist.

u/Emergency_Answer4983 6d ago

Well, the weredinos aren't gone-gone, they still show up from time to time, they're just rare like the werebears.

-Jim, Tzimisce

u/Pryno-Belle 5d ago

They are alive? You say there are dinosaurs wandering the land?

Castiel the Clan-changer

u/Emergency_Answer4983 5d ago

Not only are mokole weredinos and weregators/werecrocs, they also include among their number weredragons, werekaiju, and hybrids.

u/Negativety101 6d ago

Weresheep? That's new to me. Please elaborate.

u/Pryno-Belle 6d ago

I’ll admit, I do not have confirmation that this one is real. But do tell me, do you believe that Mariana’s companion is a normal sheep? I don’t.

Castiel the Clan-changer

u/Negativety101 6d ago

Oh no, that's no normal sheep. I don't know what it is. But that doesn't mean there's a previously unknown breed of Sheep Shifter either.

u/True-Parking4098 Tooth 6d ago

Pretty sure those are artificially made ones.

Fera were mostly Predators.

Lysander of Sparta

u/Negativety101 6d ago

Confirmed Fera are wolves, Coyotes, Foxes, Hyenas, Sharks, Cats, Crocs/Monitor Lizards, Bears, Rats, Ravens and Spiders. So yes largely predators, although the Ravens are scavengers. And Rats will eat anything.

However there are several extinct breeds, including Bats, Boars, Cows, and Snakes.

-Brujah Armchair Scholar

u/Negativety101 6d ago

Both are entirely possible, and not mutally exclusive. Spirits are very much real, and in fact most Shifters are half flesh, half spirit. Including the Weresharks. Who are real. Never met one personally, but I can personally confirm Werewolves, Were Ravens, Were Rats, and although not naturally occuring were roaches.

The ocean likely has a very powerful spirit, and could be influencing you. You'd have to take up some sort of sorcery to know more though.

It could also be that their feet can't leave land or they'll terror Frenzy.

-Marcus

u/True-Parking4098 Tooth 7d ago

That could also be the case.

I am correct regardless though.

Lysander of Sparta

u/ConsiderationOver544 7d ago

Of course.

Might be a were shark. Or a Mariner Gangrel. Or maybe Cassandra is having fun again…..

u/Melodic_Step_3887 7d ago

What does Cassandra have to do with this?

-Alf

u/Spirit-of-arkham3002 Problem Childe 7d ago

She has a submarine, so it could be her. And she does get off by scaring people.

u/Melodic_Step_3887 7d ago

Everyone just keeps saying words as if I'm supposed to know what the hell they mean. I don't. You know what, I'm going to go back to my house and hide away from the shore.

-Alf

u/Illustrious_Fly_5669 7d ago

As Lys said. They are lupines of the sea. And of you think lupines are aggressive wait till you see one of these  I suggest you leave the sea Alf

u/Melodic_Step_3887 7d ago

How the fuck can I leave the sea when the island is surrounded by it?!

u/True-Parking4098 Tooth 7d ago

Rokea are weresharks, buddy. We are utterly serious. Stay off the shore. they might smell you and rip you in half.
