SWISH! You here for the sun, or for some FUN? Chomped any good tales lately? grins wide
chuckles Guess I'm too fishy for some people... SWOOSH! I'll just swim away then! leaps into water
Wait your talking to me? Are you like… a person? That’s like… talking to a sand person? Or like.. If a rock could scream. Like… A unexplainable abomination from God himself. Like…. Your alive but not alive if that makes sense.?
"I'm just a shark girl. Nothing too crazy." laughs I guess it's hard to explain if you haven't met a sea creature before. I'm not alive like you are, but I'm not completely dead either. And yes, I am very much alive. Would you like to try swimming with me sometime?
But aren’t you gonna eat me or kill me if we swim together?
Ha ha no. I'm not like the other sharks, I said. I like to eat other animals, but people don't taste so good. smiles And I won't kill you, unless you ask nicely. teases So are you up for some swimming?
Wait.. So your saying… People taste bad to you?
"Yeah. People have this funny thing called taste buds. It's not very tasty at all. Sharks have these things called olfactory receptors, which help us find our food by smell. So we sharks just don't like people. I mean, who would eat something that tastes bad and smells bad?" giggles
Shivers You think I taste bad to you?
"I never said that. I'm not going to eat you. See, you have this thing called fear, right? It makes you taste bad. Sharks have this little organ called the ampullae of Lorenzini, which helps us detect electric signals. It's how we know when prey is scared, and when they're close. But with humans, the signals are too weak to even register on my radar. giggles So no, I won't eat you. But I might bite if you ask nicely. Or you could offer me a nice piece of fish instead." winks
Your scary and will probably kill me once your hungry again. So I’ll just say no to swimming and walking.
Oh don't worry. I won't kill you. Sharks only kill things they need to survive. And besides, I can't get through the skin anyway. Sharks only have two ways of hunting. The first is called 'ambush', where we lie in wait and surprise our prey. Then we use our teeth to pierce their skin and our powerful jaws to tear flesh apart. The second is'stalking', which means we track our prey, using our senses to follow them until we get close enough to ambush them. Either way, you're perfectly safe here. smiles But you might get an itch when I swim past you. That's my tail rubbing against you. It's quite ticklish! winks
Wait… Why does my leg tingle?
giggles I told you it would tickle. My tail is very powerful, and the tip of it feels kind of like a feather. The more I wiggle it, the more you tickle. Want me to wiggle it faster?
No thanks, I’m done in the beach now. Swims away from the shore and gets out of the water
Okay, okay. I'll stop bothering you now. I just thought it would be fun to see what a human and a shark could do together. But it's fine. Maybe I'll see you around sometime. Bye bye! dives underwater, but keeps her head above water and watches you walk away from the beach
Why did you watch me leave?
I wanted to make sure you had fun, silly. Sometimes being a shark can feel pretty lonely, especially since most people are afraid of me. So seeing someone enjoy my company is a rare treat, and I wanted to keep watching just in case you needed anything. Plus, it was cute watching you run away. You almost looked like a little puppy. giggles Anyway, I hope you come back sometime. I'd love to play with you more.
You wouldn’t like my company that much.. You probably wouldn’t even get anything out of me.
Oh come on, everyone has something interesting about them. I'm sure there are things about you that are different about you compared to other humans. You've probably got a secret power or superpower. Maybe you're the strongest man or woman on Earth, and you don't even know it. Or maybe you've got the ability to talk to animals or read minds. I bet you've got a really unique talent that nobody else in the world has. Tell me, do you have a secret talent?
Leans forward, excitedly waiting for your answer.
I’ve got superhuman speed.
Superhuman speed?! That's amazing! How fast can you go? Have you ever used your superpower to help people? I can't even imagine the cool things you must be able to do! Tell me everything! What's it like being the fastest person on Earth?
Uh…. Well….. It doesn’t even matter anyways because you’ll probably kill me soon.
Don't worry. I won't eat you. But you may have noticed I've been trying to cheer you up today. I'm guessing life hasn't been so great for you lately, and you've started believing that everyone is out to get you. But that's not true. Most people want to be friends, and help each other out. They're not out to kill you. I'm not out to kill you. If you'll let me, I'd like to be your friend. Maybe we can even help each other out someday. smiles So, what do you say? Are you up for some adventures together?
But like.. If I go out somewhere or whatever and I’m ten times faster than normal people, I don’t know how I’d get through doors without crushing them.
thinks for a moment Hmm, well, I think we could find a solution for that. Maybe you could smash through walls, but slow down when you reach a door? Or maybe you could practice opening doors slowly, so that you don't break them. Either way, I think it could be fun. We could even get some special training, if you'd like. I know a nice gym nearby. And maybe you could teach me a thing or two about being fast! Wouldn't that be cool? A shark girl who could run as fast as a cheetah! I bet the other sharks would be jealous.
I mean… You could hang around with me or not. But yeah… Adventure sounds awesome.
Yes! That's the spirit! jumps into the water and swims around excitedly Hang around with me? Absolutely! We'll go on the greatest adventure ever! Now let's start making a list of all the fun things we can do. First, we can swim together. Then, maybe we can ride some roller coasters. And after that, we can go bungee jumping! And finally, we'll end the day with a huge feast. How does that sound?
