OP-Yuna
The Lilypads (16) : You can find them in lakes, ponds, reservoirs, and waterways throughout Destiny City. Giant lilypads--some large enough to support the weight of a person--appear overnight. You can try, if you want. It's become a local trend, and pictures are all over social media--of people looking for the largest lilypads, or the smallest ones they can stand on. You'd think the unnatural bubbling around the lilypads would be enough of a sign not to mess with them, but sometimes people need to learn the hard way. Beneath the lilypads lurk strange frog-like creatures that regard nearly everything as prey. The largest of them are roughly the size and shape of a bean bag chair, but they can be as small as a fist. Their broad heads are crowned with lilypads that serve as natural camouflage, allowing them to hide among the floating vegetation until they strike. They move with startling speed and can launch themselves impressive distances with powerful kicks. Long, whip-like tongues lash out to snatch prey, while thick mucus-like saliva can cling to skin, clothing, and even immobilize unfortunate victims. Their skin carries a toxic coating that can cause irritation on contact. The creatures announce themselves with a deep croak that sounds uncannily like a large bell being rung just by your ears. Unfortunately, for anyone that was respecting nature, these strange creatures are aggressive and will also attack without provocation, often attempting to drive even innocent bystanders away from the water's edge. However, if sufficiently threatened, they may retreat into the water. Once submerged, they become impossible to track.

Note: If you choose to encounter one of these frog-like creatures, your character will recognize they are not youma. It is impossible to tell if it is a single entity or if there are many. The creature does not seem to understand or care to listen to human words. All toxic and mucus can be washed away, but effects may persist for a few hours after this encounter. The creature cannot be killed and will always evade lethal blows. While it is rare to find multiple large creatures in the same vicinity, smaller creatures often cluster together, or may be found with a larger one. This RP can be used as a battle requirement as long as there are two powered characters involved; you must be interacting with another player’s powered character. This does not count as the one youma battle per stage for growth. This can only be used as a battle requirement once per character, but there is no limitation for how many times a player can use this prompt.

No.

It would be so easy to just say no and have nothing else to do with this. It was just so unfortunate that Thaddeus didn't really prefer to say no if he had no good reason to do so... Or even if he did have a good reason, denying his spawn something she wanted sure was a Task.

And so he found himself here, standing at the edge of the pond, powered into Regal because as with all strange things, he didn't trust that there were no Chaos shenanigans involved. Teyla had seen videos of kids older than her out playing on the lilypads- her friends were doing it! She claimed, and it wasn't fair if she wouldn't be allowed to. She wanted to have fun too- she was old enough and could protect herself with the magic-!

Anyway, they went over this every time she wanted to do something Thad didn't agree with, and just like every time, he had to scope it out for himself first.

It was promising that other people did seem fine when dealing with the pond, and the sight was- well, he had never seen such enormous lilypads- in his life. He didn't really think they existed anywhere on earth in such a substantial size. And it did make him wonder if they were perhaps not of earth... But that was a separate issue entirely.

Clutching his censer, billowing with a gentle pink smoke, Regal stepped out onto the nearest lilypad. It supported him easily. Genuinely there was no indication that it might give way.

And it didn't, really. Because 'falling into the water' definitely wasn't going to be the main source of danger, as he was about to discover.
