Atlantic Ocean
The Atlantic Ocean is an Ocean that spans a place known as The Pond. It's not exactly a pond but it works as a body of water to sail ships on and over. It wasn't always like this. It was once a graveyard for prehistoric mammals and collected quite a lot of bones, petrified tree sap, and fully assembled skeletons of once mighty creatures like the Mutant Mammoth of Mayhem and Your mom.
But when the earth flooded and fish started to take over, the place became an ocean of aquatic life and the graveyard was now a watery grave for the graveyard. It was a terrible loss. There were no mourners but it was rather sad. One could cry a river, that leads into this ocean. But that is unnecessary and stupid. It is said the Giant Goldfish of Doom swims in the Atlantic. The ocean is used for trafficking. Of course. It's also been forced to submit to the British Empire by the reduction of its massive size to a downsized body of water known as the Pond. Where Pond whales live.
“Our friends across the pond are having a tea party! Shall we crash it?”
A Strange Name[edit | edit source]
Atlantic is a name similar to Atlantis, and shares its power with Atlantic Records. It was also the inspiration for Atlanta and Atlantic City, New Jersey as names given to those crappy cities. But aside from all of that, the Atlantic does feature beaches along all coastlines it touches, water, lots of water, waves and sharks. It is very wet, and a bit cold. Very cold in its Northernlands, and very warm in the regions dominated by Southwinds, and unexplained volcanic activity in and around Bermuda.
The ocean itself has been subjected to abuse from icebergs to needles and crazed Alien overlords who inhabit the Bermuda Triangle. It has been relatively quiet compared to its titan sister the Pacific Ocean, which does extreme weather and is said to be host to the underwater city of R'lyeh. Those rumors have never been confirmed and for years the cultists have tried to prove the theory. But none of them ever got a proper Cthulhu Day to witness their god to rise out of the sea.
In mythology the oceans will rise and swallow everything in the Last Days. The sneaky lizards who ruled the world reduced an ocean in name so it could survive. Being British they were located right next to said pond. So naturally. It is also said the Atlantic is a mangled, bastardized renaming of the Sea of Atlas. What was worse, the Imperial Draconian British Empire reduced one of the largest bodies of water on earth by calling it a pond. As mentioned earlier.
Atlas swam there after inventing Astronomy so he could swim like Dolphins in a sphere, but he was up to no good in the extreme west, down under. He was chased by the Downsized Dolphin of Disaster but couldn't do anything about it since he had a slight problem with his back. Likewise the Pacific Ocean is a scrabbled, messed up version of Poseidon. That god could do something about it. Once he figured out what to do about the Mariana Trench and Hawaii.
Atlantic's Collection of Sunken Ships[edit | edit source]
When striking an Iceberg, the massive Titanic was ripped open, exposing the hull, and flooding the entire ship until it finally sunk beneath the waves. The Sinking of the Lusitania had the same problem. But it sunk due to being in the wrong place during World War I, when it was torpedoed by a German Submarine that was also in the wrong place and had to do something. The Britannic, which also sunk in some small, insignificant body of water that only the Greeks can explain, belonged the White Star Line as did the Titanic and Lusitania.
By the way, what's with all these White Star Line ships sinking? Maybe the Atlantic Ocean had nothing to do with it? Maybe it was more to do with building large floating cities to sail out on the water without first checking if the ocean was okay with that? And just why were they sailing around like that with all those people in there? Something fishy was definitely going on.
