I need your creative juices

a thick, glossy, transparent sphere that refracts all the azure light of the sea and produces wavering, distorted images of the sea life that inspects it.

I would expect to see all kinds of sea life passing by oblivious to the people in the bubble.

What interests me is the act of passing through the bubble. I would suggest that anyone who does becomes part of the bubble's continuum, maybe the surface of their body alters or there is a curious sensation. This could be given a nautical name/term as if it is a normal phenomenon for such underwater sailors.

THAT IS JUST AWESOME> Don't know what to add at the moment.

otterman, welcome to AW! Nessam too.

Okay, I'll take a shot.



The deck looked like the bottom of a pool, rainbows dancing in ever-changed shapes around MC's feet. She looked up. A glassy spehere encased the deck. The surface spun a kliadascope of opaque colors, sureally silent, like something from a fairy tale. Swarms of fish parted over it, thier little shadows flickering over MC's face.
"Oh," MC breathed. She was inside a bubble.



Okay, it's a bit dramatic, but that's something like what I would do. If you wanted, you could bring it home with childhood wonderment over blowing bubbles. Just a thought.

Hey Mizz Lurkey-the above two are pretty terrific ideas-I also like very much the idea of having whomever passes through the bubble even in a dry suit having small changes happen to their bodies that only become evident after a time-that might be interesting I should think-well to me at least-gives you another opportunity to solve a situation-us readers love situations don't cha know-oh and sounds like you have an interesting idea-not new by any means but your description of the ship-steampunk that is not old but could be eggstremelly inteyeresting. Good luck kiddo just remember that everything has been done before-well just about I think-so writing it in your style and your voice-well that is what maketh the differencio-Dave

What's an MG?

And WHY do you need to describe the bubble? Seems to me bubble is pretty descriptive in and of itself.

I can't help but feel I'm missing something here...

You mean like General Jack D. Ripper's precious bodily fluids?

I can understand why the Turkey needs out juices, it is generally pretty dry. How about some gravy?
