Snippet #2263584

Carded lied asleep in the large bathtub he occasionally called his bed with a pair of board shorts. His neck was open with three slits on either side as he slept silently under the water. An alarm clock laid at the bottom of the water, the gears and clamps waterproofed for him. The clock struck 10 am and the metal clappers beat against eachother, causing the water to ripple as the boy under the water slowly woke up, stretching with his skin not the slightest bit pruned. The boy lifted his fist up to his eyes and rubbed them and yawned. His sapphire eyes stuck out from his pale skin as he sat up, his scrawny upper body showing as water beaded away since he was completely moist.

He yawned once more and slipped from his once warm bath as his gills retracted into his neck and he looked almost like a normal teenager. He wandered out and shook his head like he was a dog to get rid of the few droplets in his hair before he grabbed his clothes he had laid out the night before and started to dress.

He emerged ten minutes later fully dressed with a white shirt and a pair of jeans and went to his closet and slipped on a black jacket which helped enhance his silver hair. He started to the door when he heard a small splash and turned around to see his cheerful cephalopod moving around trying to get her master's attention. Carded chuckled and walked over to the tank to pet Blip. The squishy head made a ticklish feeling to the boy's hand every time. "I'm guessing you're hungry." he said then grabbed a small bottle containing her feed and dropped it in causing Blip to dart towards it and start to open the bottle.

Carded pulled his hand out slowly thinking she should be fine as he absorbed the water on his sleeve making it dry as a bone as he made his way downstairs. He saw that Sam was gone and Ember was on the couch. "Morning metalhead." he said with a smirk as he walked to an armchair and plopped down.
