Squallix note #1 — Aryō Roots

I reckon the most obvious place to start is where my Squallix "career" began.  I'd never heard of it until I was a tyko of 6.  A neighbor prodded Mum to submit me to a modeling agency.  My Pop chucked a wobbly at the thought.  That is until he heard how much it paid.

So they signed me up and next thing I know I'm being scuttled off to Aryō Lagoon on Tiballia in Dim Theta. (I'm a Thetan, born n raised).  The lavender water is everything they say, with bubbles that float up and make a "bloop" sound when they pop.  Supposedly something about the gravity makes the water "float" just enough to make bubbles.

But that was just the beginning.  A little 'camp named Dottie was led by a pink flower lead into the lagoon, quaking as her little legs paddled just below the surface.  The photog assist hoisted me up and plopped me onto Dottie's back.  Neither of us even twitched, we felt so comf together.  Turns out the shoot was for the juve Squallix league for fingerlings age 10 and up.  

When I asked what Squallix was and if it would come and get me in my sleep, the assist just laughed.  But instead of mocking me, he took his time and taught me all about the greatest thing in the Omniverse.  The minute I turned 10, my Mum signed me up for the free Squallix lessons offered by my township.  I knew she did it to get me out of the house.  I didn't care.  My life had finally started.  No looking back.
