Pride Month 3/3 [BONUS]

Pride Race is almost dunzo!

Author’s Note : All of this is ENTIRELY NON-CANON. I’m still working on my writing skills. Thank You and Enjoy, hopefully.

Hachi is going to admit, Pride Race is definitely fun. With all those games there are going to happen once in a lifetime, he’s going to miss it so much.

The Obstacle Race is a wild one. Tres running through the course with traps activated once a few second, Marina planned a total chaotic plan with the underground participants; Huit panicked through her course with limited dirt.

~~~~~~~~~~

“What do you mean we are the last one out, you little...”

“Calm down, Miss Hime.” Marie smirked as she gestured towards the other teams who finished the maze, “If only your team is fast enough to figured out the route, maybe you would come here first.”

~~~~~~~~~~

Musical Maze, a total brain explosion. They took a lot of time figuring out the entrance, especially with all different music is playing around them. Pearl accidentally triggered a trap switch, making a piano piece to appear on the wall. If it wasn’t for Marina to press the right key, who knows what happen? When it was designed by Marie Cuttlefish herself.

~~~~~~~~~~

“Erm...A4?” Huit pressed the box on the provided gadget. Few seconds, the cannon right behind her shot off to the other side of the wall in front of her. One loud boom and her desired box was ticked as correct.

“Yes!...Uh oh.”

~~~~~~~~~~

He never did miss Battleship. Not one bit. Playing as a ship piece in the middle of the sea is definitely not what he would like at all. Sei, that lovable sadistic, had the nerve to laugh it off when Hachi got blasted off from an opponents’ cannon ball. They make up and kissed afterwards.

~~~~~~~~~~

Tres chewed as she tried not making faces. She got to admit, she want to drink at least few drops of water but she can’t risk it. Not when her unlucky teammates got eliminated by eating... those dishes.

“Coddamn it, Callie.”

~~~~~~~~~~

The Spicy Food Test is the best! He never knew the surface would offer so much food, from different country too! The best one he love the most would be Monster Meaty Burger from Coralphin, a country he know only from the travel article that they have the most dangerous animals contained. If only he have a passport to travel.

~~~~~~~~~~

“Are you guys ready for the last game of the week?!” Fior screamed enthusiastically in the microphone. Groups of both participants and audience cheered and shouted loudly.

It’s finally the last game of the event. Teams are getting restless, especially when they don’t know about how much points they earned. They got too immersed into the games that they forgot to count them.

Hachi is very nervous. He knew he should be. So are the rest of Team Cephahook. The last game is quite weird in all ways. Why his tiny gremlin girlfriend would ask all the teams to wait until seven o’clock in the night, separate them into this gigantic stage, a huge box just sitting right beside where they stand, and wear a thermal goggle. He doesn’t understand until he turned to look through the box, “Oh no... she didn’t!”

“Participants!” Fior’s booming voice came out of the speakers. “Please don’t attempt to take off your thermal goggles. Looking at you there, Tressy love!”

Hachi is sweating a lot. He don’t want to know that this is true. They can’t be this cruel, would th-

“Today, we are going to play Balloon Kart Race!”

They can be this cruel, Hachi dreaded as the box started to lifted up to reveal a kart and three balloons attached to the back. Sei and Fior are, after all, behind the design of a freaking Bloblobber and its Deco counterpart.

“If you guys play the classic Mario Kart games, you definitely know how to play this! If you do not know about them, let me broadcast you the basic rules!”

Suddenly, the goggles were switched to a blank screen, leading to his lovers and Squid Sisters appeared.

“Balloon Kart Race is a type of game mode in the Mario Kart. Basically, you drive your Go-Kart around until you spot a person. And then, bring out the big guns we install beside your seats and aim for the balloons! Pop all three balloons to ensure total elimination! Points would be given for that.”

“Remember those extra special goggles we designed for you guys? Not only they can showcase your team points and rankings, they are also there to hindered your eyesight to identify foes and friends alike! Good luck!” Sei chuckled as the screen switched back to the normal ones.

Hachi grimaced as he mounted on his Kart. Did he mention he was bad at this game? “I’m going to deny affection from them if it’s the last thing I do.” he falsely swear it before the speaker blast the Mario Kart Race Start Intro, seemly to mocked him.

Hachi twitched irritatingly as he drive through the place. First thing first, he’s going to avoid all people as fast as possible. He don’t know how to aim to save his life. Luckily, the ladies of his life are not called the Queen of War and Dead Splat for nothing.

“Wowie! Tres Perdere from Team Cephahook managed to eliminated Madam Spikers and Lady Susan from Team Sun Spark!” Callie enthusiastically announced. From Hachi’s goggles, his team moves to the top of the ranking.

“On the other side, Huit, from Team Cephahook too, totally lives on her name, Dead Splat! Mercilessly annihilated Bella Smith from Team Smith Cousins in one shot!” Marie continued, “Looks like this cause a commotion to all her cousins. They are shooting everywhere!”

Right after she said that, he heard shooting right behind him. “Holy Zapfish, please have mercy on me...” Hachi prayed as he pressed on the accelerator hard to its limit for maximum speed.

It happened so fast. One minute he’s debating whether or not should he avoid the Kart completely and the next thing he knew, he crashed into another Kart. Balloons are popping everywhere and he didn’t care anymore as he pressed his gun button.

~~~~~~~~~~

“This is going haywire!” Fior exclaimed, “Due to Team Smith Cousins’ frantic shooting, so many teams have been wiped out by either their foes or friends! We have three surviving teams that had yet to be annihilate!”

The big screen in the Audience Area showcase the teams that have survived so far. Team Coral Royalty with their lesbian sea anemone and straight ally inkling, Team Biter Bikes with their panromantic killer whale, and lastly, Team Cephahook with their asexual inkling.

Hachi is a little bit worried, no, scratch that. He’s freaking worried. Not about Tres’ skills but her current situation. One balloon. She was known to rushed into the battlefield without a decent plan. The other teams have either two or one balloons left. The map shows they are close to each other, too close for comfort. He believes in her. His team too, especially Huit who looked up at her.

“Ooh! That’s a sad elimination for Yuuto Akabane from Team Coral Royalty! His teammate popped his balloons without realising!” Sei announced as he continued smiling all wide. “And look what we have over there!”

The screen quickly relocate its focus to the centre of the stage. Tres is racing in circle along with the Biter Bikes killer whale. “They are not shooting at each other but... they are talking?” Hachi jaw dropped. Their badass girlfriend, terrorise anyone and even her teammates, is not attacking?

~~~~~~~~~~

“Listen, kid.” the panromantic killer whale demanded the inkling girl who almost pressed her gun button. “We only have one balloon each. Thea have two. What do you say, girl? Gang up on her and pop her balloons.”

“What do I gain from this?” Tres squinted at him, distrust in her eyes.

“I act as a decoy. Probably would get pop as a result.”

“You don’t want to win?”

“I want to win but... that sea cow pushed me in our second day.”

“Okay, don’t back out unless you are being a sea chicken.”

~~~~~~~~~~

Suddenly, those two competitor dispersed into different ways. Unless the twins are being paranoid, he noticed Tres is smirking devilishly.

“Oh no...” Huit trembled. Even their lovers on stage either gulped or sweated heavily. Hachi wiped his sweat on the forehead before muttering out, “She’s on rampage mode.”

Marina widened her eyes in shock before watching the screen. Pearl is not fazed at all. “Great! That would make our victory much more quicker! It’s totes obvious!” She grinned widely.

Thea Wallace from Team Coral Royalty have no idea what’s gonna happen as she encountered Shafi Rijaya from Team Biter Bikes. She’s aiming and shooting at him like crazy. As it goes on, dodging bullets and shooting balloons, Tres flew out from their left side, literally Kart flying, aim and shoot Thea’s balloons, and landed. After she saw Shafi’s balloon haven’t popped yet, she did the honor.

“Would you look at that, folks! Tres Perdere, Queen of War and previously known as Monster Rookie, pulled off that sick stunt! Isn't that amazing, Marie?” Callie squealed while jumping around in excitement. Marie fawned beside her, speechless beyond words.

“We would take that as a yes, Marie!” Fior butted in while watched the recording of her badass girlfriend doing that cool stunt again and again, with Erek and Sei beside her. The crowd were roaring and chanting Tres’ name over and over again.

~~~~~~~~~~

“Do you think we would win?” Huit nervously asked. It’s the final day of Pride Race, the result day. Yesterday, her lovers were discussing and calculating the points with the Squid Sisters in the living room intensely, nodding or shaking their heads in the middle of it.

Pearl, as confident as usual, snorted as she glanced up to her figurative daughter. “Why don’t you relax a bit? The results have no set time, you know?”

“But Mama! I don’t want to lose.”

“Neither did I. That’s why we are going to relax! Because there’s no way we lose!”

“Okay... Big Brother, Tres? Where do we start first?”

Audience, fans and participants are buzzing around excitingly. The stands around them are full with delicious junk food, thirst-quenching drinks, fun mini games and small stage to promote albums. Hachi scratched his head before answering, “Why don’t we hang out with the rest of our lovers? It’s been a while since we had a proper group date.”

The girls nodded in agreement as they shuffled through the crowd. Huit almost got lost before Tres and Hachi held her hands tightly. She smiled at the appreciation as they finally reached the stage. Sei is frowning really hard as he type on his laptop. Erek and Fior seems to be quite carefree as they blabbered around and have small pecks to each other.

“Leaving out on us? My, cheeky lovers you two~” Hachi chuckled as he let go of his sister’s hand and join them. They started to joked around and make some small kisses between them.

Tres shrugged as she dragged her shy girlfriend towards their tall boyfriend. They were a little bit disappointed that the laptop screen shows weapon datas instead of the Pride Race results.

“Hey, lovelies.” he glanced at them sleepily before returning his focus onto the screen. He never had much sleep that night, the girls could tell. His pansexual coloured tentacles started to fade out to his natural green, constantly rambling and swearing softly, and squinting around even over large texts. Tres couldn’t stand it and decided to manhandled him with inhumane strength while Huit, seems to understand, saved his drafts and shut down the laptop. Sei groaned tiredly, “What do you two do that for...? I have to give this data to Sheldon before the next Splatfest arrived...”

“You had done a lot, Sei Sei. Why don’t we join the others and cuddle for once?” Huit grinned before winked at Tres, who carried him off the chair like it’s nothing and dumped him on top of the others.

“Hey, what was tha-” the short inkling yelped before squinted closely on the poor boy’s laid out body, “Ooh, Sei! You could have told us before you launched yourself to us, you big goofball~”

“Heh, it’s not intentional but I’ll keep that in mind, Fi.” he sat up and stretched his muscle before pulling the rest of the girlfriend squad on top of him. “Now that we are all here, cuddles anybody?”

Erek and Fior squealed as they launched themselves into the pile. Hachi puffed before turning into his octo form and squeezed into them.

~~~~~~~~~~

The contestants are bursting with excitement and nervousness. The results are here! If one team win this race, they are going to receive 50 Super Sea Snails each member and able to create the next Pride Race games!

“Let’s cut to the chase!” Fior emerged from the stage. People are shouting everywhere, most of them are begging for the results to come out. Sei shakes his head slyly as he projected thirteen group names to the gigantic screen on the stage that didn’t reach Top Three. Most teams are either consoling their upset teammates or just disappointed. Sei grinned, “I congratulate those teams who at least make some effort, but too bad. You’ll win, next time.”

“Oh cod, our team are not in there! We made it to Top Three!” Huit skipped around her lover and brother with uncontrollable excitement. The two of them smiled fondly at her. She always so work up over small things, but it makes her weirdly cute.

“And now, let us announce the winners and runner ups! From the third place, we have...” Erek spoke clearly as he read his cue cards, “...Team Diss Squad! Congratulation!” Fans of Diss Pair and ex-Squid Squad members in the Audience Area cheered like thunders as their idols walked up to the stage and received their 25 Super Sea Snails each. The vibrant colours of their non-binary, bisexual and pansexual identity shone even brighter as they smiled, or pouted, for the cameras.

“Second place, we have... Team Gender Crisis! Congratulation!” Group of transgender, non-binary and gender-fluid sea creatures strutted up to the stage and posed dramatically for the cameras as they received their 35 Super Sea Snails each.

“WE WIN!” Marina and the octo twins are squealing excitingly while Pearl fist bump with Tres. “BOOYAH, BABY!”

“Finally, our first place cause excitement to our obvious winners over there... Team Cephahook!” Audience cheered even louder than the last two teams for both their news broadcaster duo and the famous League members as they walked up (run for Hachi and Pearl) to the stage and received their 50 Super Sea Snails each and the permit to create games for the next Pride Race.

“This would be one of the most memorable moments of my life!” Hachi thought happily as he smiled widely for the camera.

“To Belong” Writing Contest Entry Written by: Laura B.

During a particularly violent winter, in one most coastal big cities, two human women were giving birth; the one in an immense house, was surrounded with domestics and with a doctor, whereas the other one had for any help only that of her sister-in-law (who was a midwife) and lived in the low districts of the port. The noble, Anlune, brought into the world a charming boy whereas at the same moment was born a girl in the arms of Tharamina.

The little boy with eyes sapphire and with the hair of fire is baptized Anario, in the tribute of the god Sun companion of the culture of the country. He did not delay being known of all during his first transformation, where he took the appearance of a maned wolf completely red. Indeed, the parts of his body which should have been black were red-haired person darkened as well as her breast, with in each of the extremities (snout, pastas and tail) a spotless white. These eyes were too surrounded with this white of snow, what intensified its look, making him more piercing. The mane was of a very dark red-haired person firing at the chestnut. He had the appearance of a fox but the size of a big wolf. He was thus the first one of this new species, what attracted many curious.

Being the third son of the family, its life was given rhythm by this popularity: lesson of fencing, courtesy, history, analytical follow-up by the scientists. Anario found refuge in this life, that in the evening, in the stories which told him his nursemaid (only person with whom he felt close). The more the time passed, the more the capacities of Anario became precise, strength of the wolf was mixed in the flexibility and in the suppleness of the fox (capacity of a maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) in bigger and more sturdy). As all the canines, his sight and its hearing were sharpened. The scientists managed to show that the dimorphism of Anario was due to a change of environment and food. Indeed, the climate drier than the big rain forests and little of fruits of the country had favored the transformation of the species. Anario in search of adventures and of new sensations the court began running away little by little as soon as people left him eyes. His teenager's favorited game was to escape people of the household to spend its time in the gardens of the family park. Meanwhile, the shouts of the girl mirror the new dad on the alert who rushed abruptly in the room. The baby was in the arms of his wife, holding in the small hand the necklace of this one.

“Congratulation Rik, you have a magnificent girl. I am going to leave with you Thara and you, I shall return tomorrow morning.” Tharamina was in seventh heaven.

“Thank you Luma, take off, somebody could need you. Look at Alarik there, she is magnificent, the skin is clear as the moon of this evening. She attracts to her all the stars. My girl Seleana, my small bright moon.” Alarik which usually had a violent temperament becomes softer in the view of his smiling wife, holding her child who fell asleep little by little under the rays of this winter moon.

“You are my two treasures, and nothing will separate us.” He kissed his wife and embraced them both. Tharamina put her necklace around the neck of her daughter. It represented the moon by growing rising with a star to his extremity.

“So that it is always a star there which stays up you”. When the child opened eyes for the first time her mother was surprised by her wall eyes: the right was of a green intense meadow which fired in the golden yellow while left was of a blue deep ocean.

“Alarik looks she has our eyes”. In the view of his right eye, her husband made a surly grimace “I who hoped that she has yours, already that you refused me that she has your magnificent shape.”

“We have already spoken about it, I want that she is free to see the world, contrary to me who am grateful to live near the sea water. And if you want any knowledge I am happy that she has so much of me that of you. After all it is you which stayed near me instead of leaving discovering the world.”

“We would have been able to discover him together Thara.”

“Ah yes. And you would have made what with a sei whale (Balaenoptera borealis) in the heart of the forest or the worse in the middle of the desert? You know very well that I check very badly my animal transformations.”

“Yes but there is your medicine …”

“Which cost us 3 of your teeth and 2 part of my plates of baleen a month. Furthermore, one of the ingredients of the remedy is at sea, an additional reason which binds me to this city.”

“You always have an answer for everything, I let fall” he says in a sigh. “The boat is going to leave, I have to go to work. I like you my beauty.”

“I also love you” She says in him kissing with a teasing smile with lips. A few hours later a little owl passed through the window.

“Hello Luma, you have clothes on the other side of the curtain, you want to eat or to drink something?” Threw Tharamina since the kitchen. Without more formality, a small very fine and naked young woman was instead of the owl. His short brown hair in battle strewed with white drills gave him an air villain. She took a dress of blue linen and quickly put on it by answering her sister-in-law

“Hello Thara. I am willing a glass of water and a fruit. Then how goes my small favorite niece? Had she her first transformation?”.

“Always nothing, it is a very quiet baby, what reassures me of certain side; she will certainly not have my problem” answered Tharamina by putting on the table a big glass of water and an apple. Luma embraced Seleana. The girl looked at her before beginning twittering.

“Actually she is quiet. But as regards the transformase, we shall be fixed only from his 10 years, up to their, it is necessary to watch her. Eh it is who the most beautiful of this house. Oh she makes a smile to her godmother.” Tharamina smiles to the young woman who had more eyes than for the baby who laughed in his arms.

“Well tell me, you think that I be going to be able to turn to work soon? We have a new mouth to be now fed.” Hardly had she finished her sentence that two golden jewels struck her.

“Rik and I have already paid your medicine so that you stay at least 2 months with the girl. You have to rest you are still low, you go can be not account but your delivery was very difficult with the transformase. You would have been able to be transformed hard at work but I watched that it does not occur because my stubborn person of sister-in-law had decided to bring into the world her child under the shape which she masters least. Thus for all this, I forbid you formally to leave this house without my approval otherwise I would go myself to look for you at sea, you hear me.” Tharamina looked away to put her on the ocean beyond the window. After a long moment of silence, she looked again at the girl before a small smile

“Very well, Luma. I shall wait for the green light of my executioner before taking back the wide.”

...

When Seleana had 1 and a half month, one night, the snores of the girl were transformed little by little into humming. In the awakening, the parents discovered a magnificent kitten with various nuances of grey. Alarik left looking for her sister by running to warn it that the first transformation had taken place. The owl and the man returned in current towards the house. But as they spent the door, the girl had taken back her human shape and demanded to eat.

“What shape did she did take on?” Questioned Luma.

“A grey kitten, rather small.” Luma approached nude of the window having put his cape in his backpack: “I am going to go to warn the registers of the city. I return as quickly as possible to be for the next transformation there”. Then she took off, while the tears of Seleana became intensified in front of the lack of reaction of his parents. It seemed to the child that its transformations drew the attention of her mother, so that it became a kitten every time it wanted her mother. Thus Luma was able to identify his niece as a wildcat of mountains with a going dress of white verses dark grey stained and lined.

In 2 months of Seleana, Tharamina had the right to restart to work. It was known to be the best fisherwoman of the bay because of its size. Indeed, being the biggest cetacean of the city, its enormous mouth served as net at the same time to catch fishes but especially pelagic shellfish (krills, shrimps) which were very used by the noble persons as much in the composition of their cosmetics as food. However, a winter evening, when Seleana was going to celebrate her 1 year, Tharamina and the ship crew of the Black Squid, did not return. Alarik left with the rescue team, leaving his daughter with the care of his sister. After hours of research, they fell on a walking ship which had taken in in its edge the crew of the Black Squid. Alarik rushed on the deck to find his wife. But the captain of the Squid stopped him.

“Mr Slayer, I have to speak to you.”

“Yes, Grunlek I listen to you.”

“Here we are, we were surprised by a storm, and thanks to Tharamina we went out all alive.” “Exactly I have to see her.”

“There was an accident with a ship of the Grace. Their crew lost control because of a magnetic phenomenon, they collided Tharamina who tried to maintain in stream our ship. This ship arrived just in time to teach us its edge while the Squid sank. Tharamina has been examined and according to the doctor she will not spend at night.” On these words, he guided Alarik through the deck up to a small cabin in which his wife was lengthened. In the clairvoyant, she smiles to him

“I am sorry my love, I did not see it arriving. My ship was going to pour, I thought only of saving them.”

“Everything is fine I am there now answered” him softly his husband. “Luma waits for us at home with Seleana, everything will go well, she will take care of you”

“My angel, you must be strong for us two … Promise me to stay up our girl Seleana, to give him weapons to face life and see the world.”

“You will tell her all this.”

“Promise me!!”

“I promise you …”. The young woman smiles weakly to her husband and in a last breath he said

“I love you, you are my enjoyment”. In tears, he embraced her while she fell asleep for ever.

...

After the death of his wife, Alarik sank into a profound depression. He eventually loses his work because he took more and more risks putting his team in danger and his increasing aggressiveness dissuaded any kind soul to help him. Little by little, all the bars refused to serve him because drunk time, he took his shape of saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) so causing considerable damages. He eventually manages his anger against the high society by holding her responsible of his misfortune. He took the sea during two years and is converted to the piracy. To steal, to kill, to sell the domestics on the black markets, all this raised him no problem. His violence, during the assaults, was worth to him the nickname of the Last Shadow, only the domestics were spared. You should not touch the goods. It meant looking for his daughter 3ans later. Luma chooses to leave with them, because it was the only figure which knew the girl.

From 6 years to his 16 years, Seleana is every day pulled by his father in the fight and in the flight (pickpocket, lock-picking ...). She became fine and hurt, with differentiating dark hair of midnight blue. Luma tried nevertheless to give another education to his niece. In 11ans, the risk concerning the transformase is ruled out. Seleana loved his aunt, it was the only person who spoke to him about the past, about his parents and especially about her mother. The girl began dreaming to leave this life and to leave visiting the world. But since a few months, his aunt behaved strangely and Seleana began following her. His father was regularly going to recruit his sailors in the fights of the low districts. One night, Luma got into the office of his brother, during one of its absences and went out again with a bundle of documents. Seleana was transformed to follow her godmother more discreetly up to the beach. She lives her to undress to be transformed to go on a boat moored behind rocks. She remained hours to be waited until the appearance of several people: her aunt was accompanied by armed men. Of fear Seleana jumps up with its hiding place to help her aunt. Luma just had the time to perceive a necklace in the shape of crescent moon to intervene between her niece and her companions.

“No, Sele!!! They are with me.” The cat stopped so dry.

“How's that?”

“These people are there to stop your father.”

“I do not understand … Luma why?”

“Because this man is not any more my brother. He is not more than the shadow of his former self. I went to the barn. Sele it is necessary to stop him now. I promises you that we shall not hurt him.”

“But why did you go to the barn? It is forbidden and who tell me that they will not kill him they?”

“They, it is the husbands and the brothers of the women that your father and his pirates keep in the barn to sell them … It became a monster.”

“You lie!!”

“Come with us. You go to see by yourself.” without more speech the young woman turned heels and left in the direction of the barn Seleana behind her. When the barn is opened, Seleana had a top the heart by discovering the scene. Women of any age were chained. Some had bruises or cuts on the body. Behind them, there were children. All were lacking water and food. Against the wall of the bottom was a heap of boxes. By approaching it, she lives that it was about rare objects: teeth, horns, leather … In front of all this horror, she began vomiting. Luma embraced her and hid her the scene.

“You should not have seen that. I apologize for it.”

“No, one needed, I am going to help you, and nobody should undergo this fate.”

“You are on.”

“Yes … I want to run away from here. Live far from him and from his horrors. Mom… Mom has to be ashamed from there where she is…”

“Of your father certainly, but not you. You always have was her light. If you help us this evening you will be her pride.” Seleana transformed and without cared about her nudity began helping the women. She picked the locks thanks to the equipment which were in the barn. Within 2 hours all the women were evacuated up to the beach, where rowboats waited for them. Seleana saw while there were 3 ships and not one as she believed it. Once all the women and the children on board, the men left last time to look for boxes, but on the return they heard(understood) an explosion while a group of young men found them:

“There was a too fast succession … Jacques is remained on-the-spot to allow us to run away he needs to make fast.” Without more speech everybody rushed towards rowboats. Some of the men had their animal forms to allow them to take the maximum of boxes. Seleana jumped into the last rowboat. Her aunt had just arrived to the beach when Alarik threw himself on her. At this moment, the rowboat cleared off.

So Seleana found to fight against the piracy and the injustices made for the people by the aristocrats, within one guide (guide of the Shades). She rented her services when the cause pass her noble (to fly from object, infiltration to obtain information), if the person was rich, she charged him her services. She met Anario by getting back a valuable item belonging to her best friend, object which had been taken by the young sister of Anario because she considered that this jewel was not made for a domestic. The young man fell under the spell of the courage of the ready for anything young woman to help her friend. Little by little, he began following her and left by chance by her side to help those who to ask to help him. He eventually falls in love with Seleana, which to take advantage sometimes of this feeling to get her own way.

July in poetry

[Versione italiana più in basso] July was a wonderful month for Ischia Dolphin Project, with lots of sightings of different species: on Thursday, 6th July, we met sperm-whales, bottlenose dolphins and striped dolphins in the same day!

At the beginning of the month, we had the street artist Marco Tarascio on board: he is passionate about conservation of the ocean - his art name is “Moby Dick” - and he draws sperm-whales on walls and canvas all over the world: thanks to the Jean Gab he met his heroes live for the first time!

On 6th July we had on board two dear friends, the journalists Pasquale Raicaldo e Graziano Petrucci, who wrote some beautiful articles about Ischia Dolphin Project [Italian only].

In these days we collected for two times stool samples from Brunone The Sperm Whale, which we are going to analyze, and we registered through our hydrophone the voice of another sperm whale, different from Brunone.

Among the nicest person on board, there was Alessia Ciraolo for sure, which was the research assistant for two weeks: you can read the beautiful story which brought her on board the Jean Gab here. And don’t forget to check the lovely feedback by Jevgenija, here!

In July we also tested our drone, which will provide new perspectives to our photo-collection during each sighting.

As any reader of this blog already knows, we don’t meet only cetaceans during our trips on board the Jean Gab, and July was no exception: we met a lot of Manx shearwaters, Cory's shearwater and some bluefin tuna!

At the end of the month, we had the most precious sighting: three (at least) groups of tursiops, mothers and calves, watched us at distance, while the most curious dolphins came near the boat to "check” what we were doing! We recorded a lot of clocks and whistles.

One of the volunteers on board this month was our old friend Frank Wesseling, who takes part to our camps since 2008. He loves singing and writing songs finding inspiration on the sea, and he “rewrote” a famous Mozart opera song from “Don Giovanni”:

Oh, come to our boat, beloved dolphin show yourself if you are nearby if you don't give us this pleasure we can only come back to our harbor.

Your lips bring clicks and whistles you run near the bow, beautiful, fast, don't be cruel with us, beloved dolphin, let us see you, dear friend!

Join the Ischia Dolphin Project! Check the participation info here, or write to [email protected] for more info!

Il mese di luglio è stato entusiasmante per Ischia Dolphin Project, con tanti avvistamenti di specie diverse: giovedì 6 luglio, giornata record con 3 specie diverse di cetacei avvistate nella stessa giornata - capodoglio, stenella e tursiope! A inizio luglio è salito a bordo con noi per due giorni Marco Tarascio, in arte Moby Dick, street artist che dedica gran parte del suo lavoro alla promozione della difesa degli oceani: da anni dipinge capodogli su muri e tele di tutto il mondo, e sul Jean Gab è riuscito a vedere il suo idolo dal vivo per la prima volta!

Giovedi 6 luglio erano a bordo del Jean Gab anche due amici giornalisti: Pasquale Raicaldo e Graziano Petrucci. Il bell’articolo di Pasquale Raicaldo è disponibile qui. Tra gli aspetti di ricerca più interessanti di questi giorni c’è il recupero - per ben due volte - di campioni di feci del capodoglio Brunone, che saranno analizzati (foto in basso), e la registrazione mediante idrofono di un secondo esemplare di capodoglio, diverso da Brunone.

Tra le persone più simpatiche a bordo, va menzionata senza dubbio Alessia Ciraolo, che ha svolto la mansione di assistente ricercatrice per due settimane: la bella storia che l’ha portata a bordo del Jean Gab l’abbiamo raccontata qui. E merita un’occhiata anche l’adorabile feedback lasciatoci da Jevgenija, che è possibile leggere qui.

Luglio è stato anche il momento delle prove tecniche con il drone (foto in basso), strumento che apre nuove prospettive alla raccolta fotografica che avviene durante gli avvistamenti!

Come è noto ai lettori di questo blog, i cetacei non sono i soli abitanti del mare che è possibile incontrare viaggiando sul Jean Gab, e il mese di luglio non ha fatto eccezione: tantissime berte minori e maggiori e qualche tonno rosso hanno salutato l’equipaggio del nostro vascello di ricerca!

Il mese si è concluso con un avvistamento a dir poco spettacolare, il 29 luglio: al rientro, davanti Forio, tre gruppi numerosi di tursiopi, madri con cuccioli, ci osservavano a distanza mentre alcuni individui singoli si avvicinavano curiosi alla barca. Abbiamo registrato tanti click e fischi!

Tra i volontari a bordo abbiamo avuto il piacere di ospitare nuovamente Frank Wesseling (foto in alto), un volontario 'veterano' che dal 2008 partecipa ai nostri campi. Ama cantare e scrivere canzoni a bordo ispirandosi al mare e alla ricerca...e ha ben pensato di “riscrivere”una famosa aria del 'Don Giovanni' di Mozart dedicata ai delfini! Ecco il suo testo: Deh' vieni alla barca nostra Oh caro delfino la tua presenza mostra se sei vicino se neghi a noi di dar quello diletto tornare al porto nostro e ciò che resta a noi. Tu ch' hai la bocca piena di click e di fischi tu ch' alla prua corri grazioso, rapido non essere, gioia nostra, con noi crudele lasciati almen' veder' nostro bell' amico! (Frank Wesseling)
