Ditto and the Underwater Breathing Machine, part 1…

So t has been a very busy few days for Ditto and I have not been able to post as much, but I am still having a very good time in Celestia.  Most recently, a scientific chap named Rutherford deciphered some Celestian text and discovered a device that would allow the user to breathe underwater.  This was pretty exciting, until I realized who he wanted the guinea pig to be… me!

Let’s see – completely untested ancient device that somehow modifies my biological structure to allow me to breathe underwater…  And the best part is that when it’s done working, I don’t feel any different!  Seriously?  So I walk through this mystical thingy and then just assume I can hop outside the protective dome and breathe OK at the bottom of the sea?  This sounds like a really bad idea – we’ll have to see how it goes!
