Doc Tapped His Leg. Annoyance Stacked High Inside Of Him As Ren Pet The Sniffers. Spending A Day Underground

Doc tapped his leg. Annoyance stacked high inside of him as Ren pet the sniffers. Spending a day underground with sniffers in a sniffer onzie wasnt quite what Doc had planed, but there was to be a buttercup meeting.

Ren looked quite pleased with his plan and he looked even more pleased when the sound of three buttercups filled the room.

"There something down there?" Grian asked.

Ren and Doc hussled into position.

"Something..." Scar muttered.

"The Amorphous Ineffable," Mumbo clearifed.

Ren and Doc paused. Doc took a step back from Ren and looked up.

"That's what we're calling it?" Grian asked.

"We should tell someone, shouldn't we?" Mumbo breathed.

"Tell who? Xisuma's on vacation."

"If it's dangerous, then people should know."

"Who's gonna believe us?" Scar asked, "pics or it didnt happen."

"We need proof." Grian agreed

"They found something in the ocean--" Doc breathed, perhaps a little too loudly. Ren grabbed his mouth and they stood in silence as the buttercups stood in silence. The roof was broken open and the three buttercups dropped down.

"WHAT?!" Grian snapped, "why are you two here?!"

"Um, we were doing spy work. But you aren't talking about the perimeter." Ren crossed his arms.

"Are you wearing onzies?" Scar asked. He shook his head. "We have more pressing matters!"

"Yes! The ocean!" Doc said, "what did you find?"

The five journied to world's end and looked over the edge at the swirling ocean. Ren and Mumbo looked in and saw what Doc, Scar, and Grian all saw: a world that cascaded downwards infinitely and never ceased to disallow life that didn't belong there.

"How far down does it go?" Mumbo hardly spoke above the crashing waves into the sharp rocks. No one xould answer his sentiment, and the waves took hold of the air again. The robots were left in their chambers and the five entered a silent truce to get to the bottom of the ocean.

Part 4

Doc knelt down on the sand and looked at the water. Without the largest of waves of the open ocean, Doc could see better. The edge of the water wasn't even with the level of the sand. It looked as if there was glass holding the water in, but there was nothing there. He took out a calliper and wrote down the measurements, barely perceivable, yet more than yesterday.

The anomaly of the ocean was only getting weirder. At first, Grian described it as a almost black blue-green. Scar had seen the same thing. But here, at sea level, Doc would swear it was red. When the light hit the ridges of water, it looked like blood.

But it was just water.

Doc took a sample just in case and put it in his back pack with the rest of his information. He stood up and lifted the bag around his shoulders. The ocean looked normal when Doc gazed across the horizon.

Why didn't Scar or Grian want to tell anyone?

The question popped into his head with out warning. He stayed looking at the ocean to find the answer. He didn't want to tell anyone either. This thing that they stumbled across was... Indescribable. Well, it was the ocean, but it wasn't just that; it was an ocean that had never called for a single thought, never required a pair of eyes on it, and whatever caused it to sink further down and grow to immeasurable depths was never caught or seen, and it didn't need to be. If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around, it still makes a sound. This... This ocean, Doc hesitated to even lable it that, didn't need him to witness it growing everyday, it didn't need Grian to search for the bottom or Scar to see The Amorphous Ineffable... It didn't need spectators and it won't ever. Doc's presence, his measurements, and readings... Won't effect this... They won't effect it.

Whatever it was that Doc, Scar, and Grian were afraid of was going to stay quiet yet. There weren't words for it yet, but maybe tomorrow there would be

Part 5

Some Infinite Ocean art for the soul

Here’s a concept for The Infinite Ocean AU.

Oop Team ZIT but that one painting in haunted mansion

This was the first one I did and posted it on Instagram a while ago lol

What working on a "normal" HC fic looks like!

...

I just realized posting this that, while five years fits nicely between 13 and 18, five years does NOT fit in between 17 and 18, meaning the timeline is not at all as it is in real life except...

Bro nvm all of that, cause-- NO IM RIGHT. TIMELINES GONE.

Wrong again, five years fits between 2013 and 2018. I'm gonna stop asking questions now. It's done, we're done.

Bro why is it storming so bad. This is supposed to be vacation not storm chasers :|
