You had been snatched up from the ocean, without your consent, of course, and found yourself being tossed into a large tank filled with small fish and large pillars of coral and sea rocks. You were a squid-like merfolk. Though you had a main tail, it had no scales, was firm and fleshy, and was instead soft white whenever you weren't camouflaged. You still had tentacles around where your tail began at your waist. A curious specimen-- that's what you were.

You swam around your new home. The lights above you were brighter than the sun and the water was frigid. It was much colder than the seas you were used to. You glanced around and continued to swim. Right when you were checking out a few sea slugs you had never seen before, a shadow blotted out the light covering you. Frightened, you glanced around and came face to face with your one and only companion in the tank.

An orca merman, much larger than you, looming over you like a death threat. His gaze was intense and burned through you like hot coals.

"Another whelk in my territory? I'll eat you like the last one."
