Clash's body moved effortlessly through the water, propelling himself with ease across the waves. Jumping and splashing about, frolicking like some great big dolphin. Needless to say Clash was a shark, and this was very un-sharky behavior here. He laughed a bit as he jumped, breaking through a wave then turning and lookingtowads the shore.
"wuzzat?"
He saw something, or was it someone? Whatever or whoever it was, Clash wanted to find out more about it, he began to swim towards the beach, he wasn't too far out anyways, and on a beautiful day like this, whoever was over there would probably be in a good mood and up for some pleasant conversation.

Ahhh vacation! The nice ocean breeze...Drascarine had taken off his clothes and jumped into the water. His tail phin grew. He was still getting used to all of this. Being a merman...He was a little scared...He just..Well...This was weird to him. He was so used to being human and now this happens! It started a few days ago. Ever since then he could turn into a merman. It mostly happens with sea water. Does not happen often with regular water unless it has lots of salt in it. He loved the feel of the ocean water gliding across his skin as he swam.
Drascarine finally got out of the water and back onto the beach. His legs came back and he put his pants back on but not his shirt. He could hear the ocean calling to him. Literally. It was calling his name gently and then he turned his head, staring at the shark that was coming onto the beach...Or was that a man?
"Hello?"

Clash saw the guy jump into the water, he dove to watch him, then saw as the guy turned halfway into a fish. HOLY SHIT FISHMAN! Clash swam over to see the guy, normally when people jumped into the water they splashed about or wore skin-tight suits, This guy just turned part-way into a fish. Clash was impressed, then saw the guy get out of the water as he slowly approached.
Clash swam up to the guy, watching him change back into a human as he left the water, he wondered how it felt, switching between the two... was it like what he could do? Clash's eyes, like a pair of large metal headlights, swirled around and cast a pale light ahead of him, at night they would truly glow but by day they could only shine a little, Clash moved closer to the shore, watching the guy as he put his pants on.
"Hai..." His voice had a slight metallic whine to it, and he gave the guy a curious but friendly look.

Drascarine was a little nervous talking to the shark. Slowly he walked close and then crouched down. He looked him over. His breath slightly taken away, shocked that he is actually talking to a shark now.
"I have never talked to a shark before." He said.
He then smiled a little. His blue eyes looking over the headlights that shined a little.
"I am new to all of this. Being a merman. I never thought...." His voice trailed off.
"Uhm. I am Drascarine." He got onto his hands and knees. He leaned forward and gently patted Clash on top of the head. His hands started forming beautiful scales and became slightly webbed.
"Can you hear the call of the ocean too?"

Clash blinked, watching the hand change, feeling it pat his head, he moved forward a bit more. Drascarine, nice name. "I'm clash!" He asked him about the ocean... Clash listened. "does the ocean go 'shhhh.... kshhhh... shhhh... kshhh...' 'cuz thats what it says to me."
Clash blinked, this guy had a real connection to the sea, it made him fishy! He said he'd never talked to a shark before. "I've... never been a shark before. Have I?" He looked up to Drascarine "am I a shark?" Clash had a confused expression on his face, he was learning so much today!

"Nice to meet you Clash." Drascarine gave a soft giggle. That was not what he was hearing from the ocean. No it was something else. He shook his head. "No it is something else. It is as if the ocean itself is alive and calling out to me. It keeps saying my name even. It tells me wondrous things!"
He looked Clash over. How could he not know that he is a shark? He then shrugged inwardly to himself. He gave a nod and smiled. "Yeah your a shark. Uhm...Here look!" He grabbed his bag nearby and took out a small mirror, showing Clash his reflection.

Clash looked into the tiny mirror, HE WAS HUGE! he filled that whole mirror and it couldn't show all of him. He was totally transfixed by it, staring deep into his reflection. "it's me... I guess that's what a shark looks like..." He looked back up at Drascarine, then back at the mirror. "why you got a mirror like this?"
Clash slowly moved closer and closer to the mirror, eventually sliding out of the water. As he did his body started to pass through the ground itself, still swimming though he were in the water despite his body now vanishing below the surface of the sandy beach. Clash didn't even seem to notice as he slipped through the sand, not disturbing a single grain of it as he phased through the ground. "I'm a shark..."

Drascarine watched Clash look at himself in the mirror. He smiled a little. "Well I found it when I went swimming. For some reason I like shiny and beautiful items now. It is a little odd."
His eyes widened as he watched Clash pass through the ground. He backed up a little. "Your not a normal shark..." He murmured, staring some more. Drascarine pointed to the sand so Clash could look.
How could this shark not know he was a shark in the first place? And now this! "How can you not know what you are?" He asked. Okay maybe he should not have asked that. I mean seriously look whos talkin. He did not know who he was...and now look at him.
People. Normal people would not like this. They would be scared shitless if they saw a shark like this. Or Clash might be taken by the government. He did not want that either. Maybe he could take the shark with him...Home.

Clash looked down, seeing he was passing through the ground, he looked around at himself as he moved completely out of the water, into the sands of the beach. Clash looked up "beautiful? shiney?" Clash looked back into the mirror before it was taken away... "I'm... shiney? beautiful?" Clash blinked at Drascarine, confused...
"oh hai, out of the water..." Clash moved around the beach a bit, then heard those words: 'not a normal shark'. Clash looked confused again, "what's normal?" Clash blinked at the question of him not knowing his identiy. "I kinda... I just happened... I just happened a little while ago, you're the first person I've met... ever." Clash gave an honest but blank stare at Drascarine, he WAS the first person he met ever and he DID sort of pop into existence right now...

Drascarine laughed nervously. Clash has the mind of a child. And...He did not seem to notice at first but Clash even looked different from a normal shark. 'I am going crazy.' Drascarine thought. He swears he might be going into shock. He sighed and shook his head. He was about to call Clash an idiot but he had to try to be nice. "No...Just forget what I said about shiny and beautiful things...."
"Really? That is interesting..." He started hearing voices and almost panicked. "Come on Clash. " He grabbed Clash by his fin and started pulling him gently to his car which was hidden behind the trees on the beach. "Ow..." He let go of Clash's fin a gentle bruise on his hand. That fin was kind of sharp...He opened the door to his car. "Hmm...How to get you inside the car....." He tilted his head thinking.

"no... Just forget what I said about shiny and beautiful things..." Clash looked up at Drascarine, then down again, somehow those words really shook him. Drascarine couldn't have meant that, could he? Clash felt like something was suddenly missing, like he was full of tar and it was weighing him down. He slowly sank further and further into the ground, making a slight sniffling noise.
Drascarine grabbed him then suddenly hurt himself on Clash's fin. "oh, I'm pointy..." Clash spoke with a mix of realization and sadness in his voice. "you ok?" Drascarine brought him to the car, then wanted him inside, Clash would never fit in there, it was built for Drascarine-sized people! "I can..." As clash spoke his body parted down the middle, his head splitting into many segmented parts, there was a sound of metal squeeling against metal, hydraulics pushing and pneumatics pumping, sounded like pressure releasing...
Clash's body buckled and folded as new joints appeared, parts vanishing and clicking as new ones appeared. From within him there was a number of gears and wires and circuitboards. Organs and blood vessels... and human arms. Clash put his hands on the ground, his body folding around and clipping together, from within his sharky head a human face and hair appeared as the parts that once made his face folded in and slid together, forming a human neck. His tail shrank and telescoped in as a pair of human legs appeared. Shortly after this startling transformation, his ribs joining together and his fins vanishing into his sides, he quickly seemed to grow a pair of black pants and a hawaiian shirt.
"Ta-da!" Clash held his hands out to his side, now an average-looking guy in a loud shirt and black pants. He wasn't all that bad looking but nothing special. He sat down in the car, then blinked a few times, water running from his eyes. "oh... I'm dripping stuff..." Clash looked at Drascarine, remembering what he said but unable to put his feelings into words. He simply smiled and said "what next?"

Drascarine flexed his bruised hand a little. He was lucky his hand did not get cut. Now Clash was crying. He could not believe this...He felt so bad making Clash cry. Drascarine smiled a little. "I am fine. Just stop crying please. "
He tilted his head at Clash realizing he would not fit into his car until....He stared, his eyes widening. He almost fainted and crapped his pants at the same time! His breath caught in his throat. What Clash did was amazing and scary at the same time. "You...Wow!" He smiled a little.
"That is cool. Uhm..Just get into the car. Oi and stop crying." Drascarine heard people and pushed Clash into the passenger side of the car, closing the door. He got on the drivers side and started up the car. He threw his pack into the back and found a box of tissues. "You might want to use these. It helps dry the tears." So now they were out on the road. He felt a bit weird having Clash in his car. And there was even an awkward silence. "So...uhm...Do you remember anything..You know. Before all of this?"

Clash smiled to Drascarine. "thanks" He looked at the tissue, it felt soft and sort of puffy, he had no clue what to do with it. He dabbed it under his eyes... that seemed to work! Clash looked up as the silence was broken, he found the movement of the road wizzing by fascinating, but Drascarine was way cooler!
"nope, don't remember nothing, just sorta woke up in the water and... nothing before that." Clash wasn't lying, he just sorta... happened. He looked at the mirror, his human form looked squishy. He poked his cheek with his hand, watching how his skin moved under his touch, feeling it tingle... "squishy..." He looked back to the road, then suddenly realized something. "Where are we going?"
