The Baj has characteristics of any number of marine creatures, however, not just sharks; many flowing, colorful, and beautiful. Seemingly bred for this purpose: if a Naiad were to capture a Baj (or purchase one from an upper level dealer) she and it could bond \u2013 thus giving her a mermaid tail. Yes, it is a freaky ceremony. The baj swallows the naiad\u2019s legs and becomes one with her. The \u201cBajing Ceremony\u201d is different depending upon each Gam\u2019s traditions. Naiads with some wealth typically adopt a baj and live with it swimming languidly around their apartment for a week or two, just so they get used to each other\u2019s DNA. The bajing there-on can go quite smoothly. The baj species naturally wants to join with naiads (or bipedal humanoids) as it leads to a greater level of reproduction. Its memories and personality, such that these exist, are subsumed by the naiad in question and join with her personality and brain, giving her sudden knowledge of distant and deep environs\u2026 or happy domesticity, depending upon where the baj is from. Some baj are purely bred in tanks. (Without a naiad, the baj reproduce by passing through another baj\u2019s wake during a yearly spawning cycle.)<\/li><li>&#8220;Blennie, Fang&#8221; Colorful, small, slender fish with two poisonous &#8220;fangs&#8221; situated in their lower jaw. The poison, though difficult for normal humans to harvest in our world, is harvestable by Merfolk alchemists in their world without difficulty. &#8216;Depends upon your schooling, I suppose. &nbsp;<\/li><li>&#8220;Blow Hole&#8221; 1) A naturally occurring thermal phenomenon on the ocean floor whereby jets of warm water or gas spew precious minerals, precious coins, methane, crude oil, or (theoretically) tiny living shrimp travelling through the center of the planet.<\/li><li>&#8220;Blow Hole&#8221; 2) The nostril of a whale or dolphin on the top of its head.<\/li><li>&#8220;Blow Hole&#8221; 3) Slang. Vulgar. Term for a rectum and\/or anus located in the urogenital slit in Merfolk or a Naiad&#8217;s butthole. <\/li><li>&#8220;The C.R.A.P.S.&#8221; aka The Conspiracy Radio and Podcast Show. Tag lines: &#8220;Do you get The C.R.A.P.S?&#8221; and &#8220;If it&#8217;s 11pm Eastern Time, then it&#8217;s time for three hours of &#8220;The C.R.A.P.S.&#8221; I know, it&#8217;s hilarious. They have contests to pick the best catch phrase. <\/li><li>\u201cCentral Pillar\u201d see also \u201cCentral Stack\u201d see also \u201cGuide Roller\u201d From second floor up to (typically) floor 35, the central pillar houses the Guide Roller Shaft. From the control station at the center of the Temple\u2019s Gam Branch Root Level (See also: \u201cThe Heart of the Temple\u201d) the angle of intent for the guide roller is adjusted incrementally depending upon how steep the outside curve of the road is. The reason the Roller Apartments number 116 (instead of 120 &#8211; as there would be 12 rows of 10 \u2013 in a perfect grid) is because the four central apartments on each floor have been removed to allow the central pillar to pass through. Likewise, on the seabed road, in place of the center four rollers is the single, larger, Guide Roller. The interior of the central pillar is kept flooded with a mixture of sea water and either whale or crude oil.<\/li><li>\u201cCoin Basket\u201d (Ilehos) Fronds and Antlers of coral grow together and form sturdy baskets or \u201cBowls\u201d of various sizes. Colorful, beautiful, exotic, but not unbreakable, coin baskets become filled with coins numbering from the dozens to the tens of thousands. Fish nudge coins to the baskets at the Ilehos location whereby puffer fish, little crabs, eels, etc toss or spit the coins onto the collected pile. Once the baskets reach a critical breaking point, their attending Ilehos rings begin to glow more and more brightly, and Doonies are attracted to the ring. The Doonies then \u201cKiss\u201d the ring, transferring energy into their little fish bodies, which in turn makes them very attractive to Merfolk for a multitude of uses. Meanwhile, the basket breaks at a weak spot (a spot picked at by nibbling manidoon) and the coins pour out, more often than not, into a nearby sink hole.<\/li><li>\u201cCoins\u201d Minted primarily within the Temples themselves, though some pressings and styles originate supernaturally in the underworld, coins are (a) thrown into the wild to appease the Manidoon (b) strewn about outdoors for good luck (c) remelted and repurposed if their dates don\u2019t match the current decade\u2019s calendar.<\/li><li>\u201cColeoid\u201d (Gam) Freaky looking, scary looking, or alien-looking Mer collect themselves into Gam Coleoid. Repped by Octopi, Squid, and Jellyfish, members of Gam Coleoid tend toward blue and purple-hued skin. Naturally they can dive deeper, see farther in the dark, and generally have better telepathic abilities. Scientists, alchemists, healers, and spies call Gam Coleoid home. Many can spray ink from an extra hole in their split, which can either smell good or not-so-good depending on their diet.<\/li><li>&#8220;Deet&#8221; Slang. Short for Detritus. Organic rotting material.<\/li><li>\u201cDisplay\u201d Term encompassing the rite of passage Naiads and some Mermaids endure to become paired with a Merman for marriage, coupling, breeding, or employment. Females appear upon a lower market stage or inside a lower market tank and are bid upon by competing and interested parties. Mermaids with proper plates may also bid upon females for likewise reasons.<\/li><li>\u201cDoonie Juice\u201d Blood, guts, and viscera of a smashed manidoon. Different colors and different varieties have healthful and healing properties.<\/li><li>\u201cDoonie Tubes\u201d Glowfish travel in and out and through Temple walls via translucent tubes. These tubes light the Temple interiors.<\/li><li>\u201cDoonies\u201d see \u201cManidoon.\u201d<\/li><li>\u201cDownramp\u201d (see Uptube) Much simpler than an Uptube, a Downramp is a sometimes-straight and\/or sometimes-corkscrewing waterslide. Fun unless you have a Spadix soldier with a spear on your tail.<\/li><li>\u201cDugong\u201d (Gam) Gam Dugong is best known for hard workers, working class, plain folk and artisans. Nai\u2019ds and Maids who don\u2019t make the cut (in the looks department) in Gam Gourami, end up in Gam Dugong. (Hey, now. All Naiads and Mermaids are beautiful, its just that Gam Dugong Gals aren\u2019t as \u201cextra\u201d as the Gourami Girls. So don\u2019t sass.) Gam Dugong is repped by Dolphins, Dugongs, and Manatee. This is a lowkey powerful worldwide alliance: if you need a pod of Dolphins to help with something, gotta go through Gam Dugong.<\/li><li>\u201cFenaffle\u201d Word origin unclear. Gam Fenaffle is associated with banking, cartography, coin and currency exchange rates.<\/li><li>\u201cFloor Water\u201d All levels of the Temple are flooded with floor water anywhere from a third to a full meter deep. Residential apartments may be flooded to a level satisfactory for each occupant.<\/li><li>\u201cFried Shrimp Tails\u201d Salty, addictive, good for the digestion.<\/li><li>\u201cGam Banner\u201d Gam Banners can be deployed between each of the Gam Branch Fingers \u2013 and like sails on a ship \u2013 they can catch undersea currents to help propel the Temple in its travels.<\/li><li>\u201cGam Branch Bubble Pod\u201d Each pod contains a small community of houses, gardens, and observatories. Bubble pods and their internal structures remain copasetic and horizontal no matter what position their branch is rotated. Some have the ability to open to the outdoor undersea ocean. All have the ability to be flooded completely or have their globular space completely filled with breathable air. (See Temple Air Intake Spire)<\/li><li>\u201cGam Branch\u201d Grown and carved from volcanic amber-like deposits in the undersea equivalent of Sicily, Gam Branches are molded and allowed to harden for a century before they are allowed to become permanent fixtures for a Temple. Each branch contains a single large trunk and three finger branches. Each finger is tipped with a cup and a large bubble pod. Each branch is fully rotational in order to best catch the undersea current when banners are deployed.<\/li><li>\u201cGam\u201d Each Merfolk Temple resident is housed in a \u201cGam\u201d \u2013 a neighborhood, a quarter, and (to an extent) an ethnicity that have their own \u201cBranch\u201d and \u201cGam Banner.\u201d<\/li><li>\u201cGourami\u201d (Gam) This Gam is known for beauty, colorful lowers, and Naiads who grow into the prettiest mermaids. They are also known for breeding, child rearing, and teaching. Gouramis have a better than other Gams percentage of graduates that join Gam Fenaffle. Gourami is repped by colorful, fin-flowing, tropical, freshwater, South Asian fish. Their tails tend to have extra fins and flutters. &nbsp;<\/li><li>\u201cGuide Roller\u201d The Guide Roller is the only roller with a range of adjustable motion on its X and Y axis \u2013 albeit a range of only 20 degrees; +\/- 15. As the guide roller is not being propelled by the Roller Girls and their Can Carousels, the spin of its axle is used to power many contraptions on each level \u2013 from the Lower Market to the Middle Market and all levels in between (and many above as shafting continues through the outer walls). A natural shallow trench has worn away in the world-wide undersea road, so the guide roller doesn\u2019t so much actively steer the Temple as it does passively hold the Temple to its course.<\/li><li>\u201cGup\u201d Slang for \u201cGuppy\u201d or a small, helpless fish.<\/li><li>\u201cIck\u201d is the Terra Aqua all-purpose curse word. Partially based on illnesses developed by aquarium fish when their anuses prolapse and seem unable to discharge healthy poops.<\/li><li>\u201cIlehos\u201d is a particular grouping of creatures and objects on the Terra Aqua undersea floor. These include an \u201cIlehos Ring,\u201d a \u201cSinkhole,\u201d and a \u201cCoin Basket.\u201d Glowfish attend to, groom, and prune the Ilehos environment as it transfers energy from the ring to themselves. Small crayfish, shrimp, and krill do the same. The \u201cintention\u201d of an Ilehos is to grow the bounty of coins in their nearby coin baskets, until they break under their own weight and spill coins into the sinkhole.<\/li><li><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"825\" height=\"531\" class=\"wp-image-2970\" style=\"width: 750px;\" src=\"https:\/\/templeofthemermaid.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Ilhos-Concept.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/templeofthemermaid.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Ilhos-Concept.jpg 825w, https:\/\/templeofthemermaid.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Ilhos-Concept-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/templeofthemermaid.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Ilhos-Concept-768x494.jpg 768w, https:\/\/templeofthemermaid.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Ilhos-Concept-465x299.jpg 465w, https:\/\/templeofthemermaid.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Ilhos-Concept-695x447.jpg 695w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 825px) 100vw, 825px\" \/><\/li><li>\u201cManidoon\u201d Manidoon or \u201cDoonies\u201d include any variety of small, one to two inch fish that absorb glowing energy from Ilehos rings and do the biding of the rings \u2013 simple commands like \u201cgo get more coins\u201d or \u201cgo bother that Mermaid over there\u201d or \u201cPlease dissuade that ray from flopping upon my sink hole, thank you.\u201d<\/li><li>\u201cNai\u2019ds and Maids\u201d Slang for Naiads and Mermaids.<\/li><li>\u201cNatural Born(s)\u201d also \u201cNB\u2019s\u201d Mermaids born\/hatched with tails already grown in. They have a 20-year (give or take) advantage over naiads in as much as their tails are more bendy and wriggly \u2013 having never had to convert leg bones into spine.<\/li><li>\u201cPlates\u201d Merfolk currency. Clipped to necklaces, earrings, tierras, etc. Plates are rectangular pieces of gold, hammered gold or silver, rectangular gemstones, etc. along with mounting \u201cBacks\u201d appear in \u201cHalf-Plates,\u201d \u201cBars,\u201d \u201cShort Plates,\u201d \u201cHalf-Backs\u201d etc <em>and also with<\/em> \u201cCoins\u201d constitute the full spectrum of worldwide Terra Aqua tradeable currency.<\/li><li>\u201cPles Pit\u201d see also \u201cPles Stables\u201d Penned in areas flooded to the usual open-air height where the Ples reside and muck-about in brackish water that you probably wouldn\u2019t want to swallow if you swam in it.<\/li><li>\u201cPles\u201d Informal term for \u201cplesiosaur\u201d or \u201cplesiosaurus.\u201d<\/li><li>\u201cRoller Girl(s)\u201d Slang name for the Naiad women who populate the bottom floors of every Temple and are responsible for keeping the giant rollers a-rolling along. Each Temple has 116 box-like apartments on the bottom floor, then boxes stacked upon boxes on floors two, three, (sometimes four and five). Each column of apartments controls one of 116 rollers directly below. They do this by pumping a treadle and flywheel and \u201ccranking cans\u201d \u2013 energy cans that power mechanics both large and small throughout the Temple. Girls who hatch naiad, as a general rule, are schooled until they are 14, then assigned to a Roller, where they toil for years until they either become a mermaid through natural maturity, or are bought out of Display. Roughly 1 in 6 Roller Girls never make the natural change into Mermaidenhood. \u201cLifer\u201d Roller Girls work into their 30\u2019s and \u201cage-out\u201d only to become service industry types in the lower levels for their remaining days.<\/li><li>\u201cShark\u201d 1) Any number of undersea carnivorous predators with sharp teeth, dorsal fins, stiff wing-like pectoral fins, dark eyes (black eyes, \u201clike a doll\u2019s eyes\u201d)<strong> (See Footnote **) <\/strong>kinda cute pointy noses, and the ability to be loyal and playful <strong>(See Footnote ***)<\/strong> (unless they want to eat you)<\/li><li>\u201cShark\u201d 2) Slang term meaning \u201ccool\u201d or \u201cbad ass.\u201d<\/li><li>\u201cSink Hole\u201d (Ilehos) Coins are sucked down by the tens and the tens of thousands; to where (?) no one knows. The Underworld wants them for their own use or to borrow for a time (see Blow Holes). As Ilehos rings strobe in brilliant colors of blue, white, and red, doonies swarm around the event and prevent other seabed creatures from being drawn inside. Sink holes can range in size from the diameter of a dinner plate to as big around as an Orca\u2019s midriff (if you should find one chopped in half with a giant sword).<strong> (See Footnote ****)<\/strong><\/li><li>&nbsp;\u201cSlinger\u201d slang for a harpoon gun.<\/li><li>&#8220;Snaiu&#8221; Acronym. &#8220;Situation Normal: All Icked Up.&#8221; <\/li><li>\u201cSpadix\u201d (Gam) The soldier class on Terra Aqua belongs to Gam Spadix. Other Gams have Constables, but Gam Spadix is the home for permanent soldiers. They are also home to deep sea and large-game hunters.<\/li><li>\u201cSupercord\u201d A high-strength fibrous cord, not unlike fishing line, sometimes held in reels affixed to the user\u2019s utility belt, used with hand-held spear guns primarily for spearfishing.<\/li><li>&#8220;T.S.R&#8221; (Triple Systems Redundancy) An operational philosophy for Temple functionality. Example: Temple locomotion utilizes three methods. 1) Helical Energy, 2) Gam Banners, 3) Ples Trains. Example Two: Oxygen inside Temples is replenished utilizing three methods. 1) Penthouse Air Intake Cowls, 2) Internal Plant Growth, 3) Electrolysis Rooms. <\/li><li>\u201cUnlock\u201d Shortened term for the communal time Roller Girls experience before an allowed trip to the Lower Market. All or many apartments are unlocked all at once allowing the ladies to get out into the hallways, commiserate with their rarely-seen neighbors, and scrub the walls clean.<\/li><li>\u201cUptube\u201d (see Downramp) An uptube is the means by which merfolk may go up from floor to floor inside each Temple \u2013 in open air. Commonly, uptubes are 3m in diameter with a rotating screw spinning from floor to ceiling. An uptube user need only crank a crank at origin-level for a seat to be released. Each seat will attach to the screw and raise a rider to their destination. At the termination point, a rider must hop out and exit the tube lest they get caught-up in the seat-return mechanics at each tube\u2019s domed cap and pinch a fin\u2026 or worse.<\/li><li>\u201cVal\u201d (Gam) Gam Val is the Whale Gam. Members of Gam Val\u2019s personalities track as you might expect. The old ones don\u2019t mind having barnacles stuck to their backsides.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>Footnotes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>*<\/strong> Itigation-lay ending-pay<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>**<\/strong> Matt Hooper &#8211; &#8220;You were on the Indianapolis?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Police Chief Martin Brody &#8211; &#8220;What happened?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Quint &#8211; &#8220;Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into her side, Chief. We was comin&#8217; back from the island of Tinian to Leyte. We&#8217;d just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in 12 minutes. Didn&#8217;t see the first shark for about a half-hour. Tiger. 13-footer. You know how you know that in the water, Chief? You can tell by lookin&#8217; from the dorsal to the tail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">What we didn&#8217;t know, was that our bomb mission had been so secret, no distress signal had been sent. (Heh) They didn&#8217;t even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, \u2018sharks come cruisin&#8217;, so we formed ourselves into tight groups. It was sorta like you see in the calendars, you know the infantry squares in the old calendars like the Battle of Waterloo and the idea was the shark come to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin&#8217; and hollerin&#8217; and sometimes that shark he go away&#8230; but sometimes he wouldn&#8217;t go away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Sometimes that shark \u2013 he looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. And y\u2019know the thing about a shark is he&#8217;s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll&#8217;s eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn&#8217;t even seem to be livin&#8217;&#8230; &#8217;til he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then&#8230; ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin&#8217;. The ocean turns red, and despite all the poundin&#8217; and the hollerin&#8217; they all come in and&#8230; they rip you to pieces. You know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men. I don&#8217;t know how many sharks, maybe a thousand. I do know how many men, they averaged six an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Thursday mornin&#8217;, Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. Boson&#8217;s mate. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to wake him up. He bobbed up, down in the water, he was like a kinda top. Upended. Well, he&#8217;d been bitten in half below the waist. At noon on the fifth day, Mister Hooper, a Lockheed Ventura; he swung in low and he saw us, a young pilot, lot younger than Mr. Hooper here, anyway he spotted us and a few hours later a big ol&#8217; fat PBY come down and started to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened. Waitin&#8217; for my turn. I&#8217;ll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went into the water. 316 men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945. \u2026 Anyway, we delivered the bomb.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>***<\/strong> Temple of the Mermaid, TotM Industries, its subsidiaries, Funchwerks, Funchwerks Inc., and anyone associated therein is not responsible for people playing with sharks.
