Welcome to TOO! *The Open Ocean RPG* *The currents carry the will of the waves, lovingly whispering bottled messages from one shore to another, or ravaging ships with storms till they wreck on anomalous rocky spires in the midst of nowhere.* *But below those man-assigned functions, dwell the merfolk.

TOO Narrator: *The milky blue of the ocean surface surrounds you, plain and pastel. Rays of light pulse through the water’s surface above you as it ripples, casting spotlights on nothing.* *That is, until a barely noticeable shadow shoots past in the corner of your eye, before again dissolving into the crystal-clear murk. All is silent until yet another shadow, and another, and another begin a stampede below you.* *The trampling herd grows until their silhouettes resemble a massive sea serpent, snaking along the current and whistling with speed as they go.* *Only a few shadows ever break off, diving away and remorphing into the bea…
