     residing in magnetic island for several months now, the brunette has yet to really explore the place and since today was their day off, this seemed like a good time as any. isabella made sure to blend in with the other tourists, wearing one of her designer dresses that she rarely get to use nowadays paired with her favorite versace sunglasses. she didn’t really expect anyone to notice her, but their tour guide seemed to have done so. offering them a tight smile as her disguise didn’t seem to work, she shrugged her shoulders and answered, “ i’m on tourist mode today. haven’t really had the chance to see all the sights yet and i’ve heard that this was a good place to start. i’ve heard that there’s this sunken ship? ”

“Well, I have to say, whoever told you that was right, this is definitely the best tour on the island.  I might be a bit biased but that’s quite literally what they pay me for.” He teased, adjusting his position on the uncomfortable plastic bench. “Yeah, there is a sunken ship! Poseidon’s Wrath. It’s a super old, nineteenth century, steamer. Not so much sunken as it is half-submerged but, yes, we’ll definitely see that on the way back around. We’re headed out to a blooming reef now and my goal, if Poseidon isn’t feeling wrathful today, is to see a few whales while we’re out there.”

gigi needed to get away - from people , from her room , from her job , from everything. it wasn’t usual for her to hop on a tour , but on her morning jog she just so happened to run into a boarding tour. what was better way to get away from everything than going in the middle of the ocean ? somehow she managed to get through without actually purchasing anything - she had left her wallet back home and gigi was a firm believer that the tours were a waste of money. she sat with her headphones in her hears , blasting away her playlist that included the kinks , the kooks , the smiths , and the everything in betweens. it wasn’t long until a familiar face found her. gigi poked one of her ears out of the headphones so she could actually hear the other. ‘ hm. ya… i’m just really hoping i could get some peace and quiet… and maybe a dolphin or two. ’

Diego reclined into the stiff plastic seat, an amused grin sprawling over his features. “Peace and quiet?” He wasn’t sure if she was being genuine or not, but if so, he couldn’t not warn her. “Dolphins I can all but guarentee. Probably even a whale or two this time of year, but silence...” He chuckled, nodding towards the back of the boat. “The bar opens after the dive stop. Tourists who just saw sea turtles pumped full of liquor aren’t typically the quietest bunch.” He waved his microphone, offering a teasingly sympathetic grin. “Plus they pay me to be loud.”

SHE lifted a hand to shield her eyes from the sun, “what if i didn’t?” she asked with a wry, testing smile … “but yes, i do.  his name is salazar, he’s my pet,” val ran a finger down his scaled body, a tender smile across her lips as he flicked his tongue tenderly at her skin from his reclining position.   “are you afraid?” val asked … always secretly enjoying it when people reply they are a little.

Diego let out a quiet laugh, eyeing both the girl and salazar with mild suspicion. “I don’t know if... afraid is the right word. definitely love this for you if you’re having a good time, that’s for sure. if I could lounge around with my pets I would, but they’re snakes and would run away or die...  proverbial snakes, of course. No offense, Salazar.”

     being a part of this island and its community for over 12 years, alex really had no reason to be on this tour — sometimes, though, he enjoys coming back on them, just to see what kind of changes they made to the tours each year. his favorite change this year, though, is the addition of a new tour guide — diego, been on the island for six months, and always catching alex’s attention whenever they cross paths on the island ( have you seen him ? it’s like adonis himself was walking amongst them ). so, he situates himself at the very front of this boat today on his day off, listening to him charm everyone else in the crowd. 

     “ i think i got to see everything i was hoping to today. ” he grins, turning to look at him as he sat next to him. “ diego, right ? i’m certain i’ve seen you at olympus a few times. ” as if he never noticed him each and every time. “ is that where you’ve seen me before ? i work the bar. ”

Diego’s eyebrows popped, surprised the bartender recognized him so immediately. He shouldn’t have been surprised though. Unlike his counterpart, Diego didn’t get many, if any, repeat customers to recognize. Given how much of his time (and tips) he spent at Olympus, though... Yeah, it made sense he’d recognize him. “Excellent, excellent memory, my guy. If you work the bar I’m sure I owe you an apology or two.” He laughed, glancing down to assure the microphone was indeed shut off. “If you’re the one who loaded me into an uber last month don’t tell me, but do tell the captain I said your tour’s comped.” Diego’s lips curled into a half grin, shifting slightly to drape his arm along the back of the stiff, plastic bench. “You know my name, care to return the favor? Or should I guess?”

zahid was perched at the rear of the boat as everyone loaded on, but eyes scanning over the views of the fairly flat ocean, just trying to gauge the way the tour would go —-  having done his own safety checks for his role as on-deck lifeguard and first aid, they were more than happy to let their coworkers finesse and schmooze with the customers; zahid nad never held (or wanted) the tour guide role.   they’d never been the most sociable but luckily the job doesn’t call for much of that sort of chit-chat.  they watched diego make conversation and educate the tourists, zahid couldn’t help but grin at the getting paid comment, zahid laughed a little, his crooked smile on his face —- “i got called in last minute, so all i’m hoping to see is my paycheck and a smooth ride,” it wasn’t uncommon for tourists to think it was PERFECTLY fine to jump off the moving boat, treat it like a joyride rather than a water-tour — that was a pain for zahid. no one had ever suffered a serious injury or problem on board, but it was no less ANNOYING. “i didn’t expect such a crowd today; the swells were huge around dawn when i was surfing.”

"Oh, and here I thought my magnetic personality and vaguely sexual charm brought you in unprovoked. Disappointing but understandable.” Diego teased, double checking to make sure his mic was cut off before continuing. “Dawn? Christ, mate. They’d calmed down by the time I got here, but— also worth noting I only woke up like... an hour ago, maybe?” Diego stretched his arms, bringing them back down to briefly cover his mouth. “Keep an eye on the dude in pink shorts.” He whispered, flashing his eyes across the deck. “He already asked about the open bar so... you know how that goes.” He smirked, letting his arms fall back to his lap. “Be happy you got called in today though. AIMS sent out a notice about a humpback pod migrating out this way.”

where …  somewhere in a patch of sunlight; a public place, etc.

when  …  around middle of the day, bc winter.

with  …  anyone, featuring salazar the corn snake.

VAL hikes up the fabric of her skirt a little higher to expose the tops of her thighs … the prickle of the sun on her skin like a kiss … looped lazily in his just shy of a metre length, weighing a little over a tub of butter, is her darling salazar.   the docile serpent reclining in the sunlight as his owner does … she feels a shift in the heat as a form crosses the path of sunlight briefly and casts her into shadow, and she looks up from her phone and podcast.  … it’s always a fun time when someone spies a snake literally on a person, particularly in australia, val has learned …  this time she hopes this person doesn’t shriek, or even better; has already seen herself and salazar before, and thus won’t lose their mind.

the few rare days he had off, especially during the whale migration, diego often found himself needing a bit of ‘terrestrial time’ as he called it. just a simple ‘toes in the grass, flowers in hair’ kind of day. the trails leading up to hidden falls were a path he could practically walk blindfolded at this point. he veered off the trail slightly, hoping to make a pit stop at a small alcove with a pretty solid view of the city down below. much to his surprise, someone had beaten him to the punch. normally, he would have just turned back the way he came but the large serpent crossing her form made him pause. nobody came up here to be disturbed but what if the snake was the disturbance? the last thing he needed was that on his conscious. he cleared his throat gently, hoping not to spook the snake. “hey, uh... you know you got a snake on you? i can’t tell if you do or not...”

nobody’s job is perfect, or entertaining at the very least. but the little fun the job lacks, marco can undoubtedly make up for with his clients. he enjoys watching love birds come in for a good time and making sure that their stay is comfortable but he loves it, even more, when he can strike a good conversation with the kind of people who enjoy coming to the movies alone. not everyone wants to be chatted up, but if the opportunity arises that someone does, then who will stop him from having a good time? “i’m surprised someone this good-looking is coming here alone, are you sure there’s nobody in your mind ? well… your secret is safe with me. you can tell me.”

one of the most crucial components of a drive in is the car itself. lacking that, however, wasn’t enough to keep a good diego down. after a brief conversation with his boss, diego was peeling out of work with a borrow jeep typically reserved for guided tours in the forests. hoping out of the vulgarly bright yellow vehicle, diego was waiting patiently inline and studying the concession menu meticulously. no mas mas on offer, as expected, but a bag of cheekies might suffice for now. as he approached the counter, diego didn’t even have his mouth open before the question him with enough audacity to make him laugh in surprise. “who says i’m alone?” he pressed. “my wife and kids could be waiting in the car right now and i’d be thoroughly offended by this assumption.”

“i feel very plain with my hair dark again,” calista says into the phone, laughing with a friend as she waits for the cappuccino, “but winter calls for DARKER colours, and i needed to give my hair a break from the bleach… — anyway, gotta’ go —- my pick-me-up is here,” they hung up the phone, smiling a thanks as the coffee arrived.   “what about YOU — blonde or brunette?  your general opinion… i mean.”

diego had been waiting patiently in line for longer than he felt was necessary for an incredibly simple beverage. it’s just water with a shot of hibiscus flavor. that’s it! but the person in front of him was slowing down the process by not collecting their inexplicable cappuccino in twenty degree weather. “my friend is on a very important call” diego finally piped up, lying. “just make mine and i’ll take it over to her.” the barista didn’t seem to care whether or not the fabrication was true and quickly stirred his beverage into existence. as he sat the cup and saucer down, diego didn’t even have time to explain his delivery before he was met with her question. “generally? i think one can’t be better than dark and curly, but i might be a tad bias.” he teased, his face folding into a half smile. “for you specifically? brunette. brunette for sure.”

“——— don’t worry,” his tone is reassuring and honest as he approaches with a leash in hand, “he doesn’t bite…” genuinely, he can’t blame the other for being wary of such a LARGE DOG like cosmo. but in this case, he was nothing but the epitome of a gentle giant; he’s never even done as much as growling. nicholas bends down next to his dog and attaches the leash to the collar as he shakes his head a little. despite being almost ten years old, the great dane was as sneaky as when he has barely a puppy. “sorry about that, this dude right here still thinks he’s a little dog and runs to greet people. never grew out of that habit.” 

“ yo soy lola bunny, be my bugs, bugs bunny... ”  diego was lost in his own thoughts as he propelled himself further into the run. his volume was up f a r beyond the recommended decibels, singing quietly to himself as rounded the corner to the site of an absolutely massive beast careening toward him at full speed.  “ aye, no, no! perrito malo! back! retroceder! ” diego nearly found himself halfway up the nearest tree until a stranger with a leash seemed to appear out of nowhere and tame the raging monster. that, admittedly, may have been a stretch but dogs—especially large dogs—have never been diego’s forte. he leaned forward to brace himself on his knees, giving the dog a halfhearted pat on the head. “el cachorro más grande conocido por el hombre... he’s a very eager, i’ll give him that much.”

diego was off in his own little world as he rummaged through the assortment of t-shirts. given how often his clothes ended up faded or stained from constant salt water, he didn’t much care what they looked like. more often than not he’d rip the sleeves off before the first wash anyway. that idea went out the window though as his attention drifted to the person next to him. "oooooh my hot god... yeah...

after what felt like hours of loading more and more tourists onto the catamaran, the boat finally disembarked and diego climbed the rickety staircase into the thick of it. with a microphone in hand, his spiel began. can both levels of the boat hear? check. is everyone aware of all emergency exits? check. introduced to the staff? check. ❝ and last but not least; no— we will not be going ‘under’ magnetic island. despite the surprisingly common misconception, magnetic island, just like the australia, aotearoa and even my homeland of hispaniola is firmly anchored to the ocean floor. ❞ scanning the group to see whose faces were trying to conceal their surprise, diego couldn’t conceal his smirk as he made a few closing announcements about gear distribution and let the music start to play over the speakers. making his way up to the front, diego found a seat next to a familiar face.  ❝ we don’t get too many local faces on here. not ones that aren’t being paid anyway. ❞ he smiled a charming grin, pushing the salt caked hair out of his face. ❝ hoping to see something specific? ❞

the mortal sun has risen and set a thousand thousand times, and GALENE is yet bound to the earthly realm, the reincarnation loop continues. this time their mortal coil has taken the shape of Jan Luis Castellanos, a human born on the 1st of June, 1996, a Gemini and named DIEGO FUENTES.

.

who is galene ?

Galene is the personification and Goddess of Calm Seas.  She is the daughter of Nereus, the God of Bountiful Seas, and Doris, the Goddess of Brine Fishing. Thus, Galene is one of the fifty nymphs known collectively as The Nereids. Most notable of her many siblings is Amphitrite, the Goddess Queen of the Seas. 

In her former life, Galene attracted the attention of Polyphemus. The cyclops attempted to woo the Goddess, but she rejected his advances as her heart belonged to Akis, a mortal son of Pan. In a blinding rage, Polyphemus crushed Akis beneath a massive boulder.

Pitying the mortal and his bereaved Goddess, the Gods turned Akis into a minor Potamoi. His stream, the Akis, flowed down from the Mediterranean into the slops of Mount Etna near the town of Akion. 

who is diego ?

Diego Ostin Fuentes is a twenty-six year old tour guide and professional diver from Paraíso in the Dominican Republic. Growing up on the coasts of Hispaniola made the seas an integral part of Diego’s day to day life. From an early age he became an avid fan of freediving, a form of underwater diving that relies on breath-holding rather than the use of gear. 

Given that there wasn’t much of a profitable market for the niche sport in his hometown, Diego put his skills and radiant charisma to work entertaining the throngs of tourist that flocked to his home. He was hired as scuba diving guide, not only for his aptitude, but also due to the strange fact more ‘high ticket’ sea creatures tended to come out on his tours. Sea turtles and dolphins were his most common draws, but he once led a tour that featured a remarkably up-close-and-personal encounter with a migrating humpback whale.

In 2018, Diego decided to try his hand at an international diving competition. Hosted in the Bahamas, Diego booked the short flight and, much to everyone’s surprise, the first timer set the world record by diving, self propelled, 160 meter (524 feet) on a single breath. Following this massive moment in the freediving community, Diego became something of a very-specific celebrity. Four years later, he was invited to give a speech at the grand opening of a freediving school launching in Perth, Australia. 

After a few fun filled days down under, Diego kept hearing rumors that he needed to check out a shipwreck off the coast before heading back home. Eager for a new diving experience, he made his way to Poseidon’s Wrath. For reasons beyond his understanding, Diego couldn’t get enough for the remote island. Something, everything, seemed to be pulling him further and further into the clutches of the enchanting island. On the off chance they may have an opening, Diego stopped by Delphinus Tours and left with a job. Six months on and Diego has finally started to feel as though he has found his footing in his new home. 

some basics ! 

🌊 birthday :: june 1, 1996

🌊 identity :: homosexual

🌊 home :: white poplar 

🌊 career :: tour guide at delphinus tours

🌊 hobbies :: freediving, aquariums, day drinking

🌊 pets :: 2 starfish (Limon, Lima) and 3 seahorse (Jorge, Juan, Jose)

some power !

:: full power :: As a marine nymph, Galene’s primary home is beneath the waves. This provides her an amphibious biology able to exist as comfortably in the seas as on land. As a Nereid, Galene’s power includes an innate mastery of sea life in most forms, the main exceptions being mythical beasts such as Scylla. As the Goddess of Calm Seas, it goes without saying that Galene’s main function is to quell the raging seas. Unlike her nephew Triton who utilizes his conch horn, Galene executes her power through force of will alone. Even the most violent of naturally occurring tempest cannot withstand the might of her tranquility.

:: unlocked :: Diego has shown an affinity for holding his breath for record-breaking lengths of time and proved himself capable of withstanding the pressures of deep water diving sans gear. While not totally unmarred, his vision is far more clear underwater than a typical mortal should expect it to be. Though he cannot explain it, creatures of the deep tend to be far more willing to interact with him than they are most individuals.
