((Nate-mun had similar ideas. :P Nathan and Smaug and in later replies Nidhögg included with permission... considering their player wrote their parts. Repost to fix something. Durr Toki's still in a suit.))
Well, at least he'd have company in his new form, if the Shoggies could swim. Their forms didn't look very aquadynamic to him, but then, they'd moved through the ball pit with surprising ease. Perhaps water was no different. He did recall that they'd apparently lived in Antarctica before.
As Toki touched him, his eyes narrowed to slits and he made a low vocalisation that was akin to a purr, his gills opening slightly and causing him to wheeze more, and the large fin running down his back fluttered, a sound like tearing paper accompanying the action. And it had indeed torn -- his skin was simply too dry to function normally -- though the tears also quickly knit back together and healed.
Ofdensen wasn't the only one who'd noticed his predicament. They were bathed in a dim reddish light caused by Smaug's similarly luminescent eyes as the dragon peered down at them, curious. Nathan was also headed their way. Slowly. He was obviously drunk.
Skwisgaar took the candy and ate it, nervously reaching to hold onto Toki's suit jacket as he too started to float, worried about how high he might go. He was relieved when he stopped a few inches above the ground, and experimentally flexed his new tail. "De Shoggies ams gots a good idea. I needs water..."
Nathan had reached them by then and was drunkenly pawing at Skwisgaar, sounding almost like a Shoggy himself with his exclamations of how cool his new body was, like 'a Water God from their Murmaider II song'. Skwisgaar weakly smacked the singer with his tail, causing him to stumble back -- and surprising them both. Though Skwisgaar didn't know it yet, a well aimed flick of his tail would carry more than enough force to break bones. He tugged on Toki's suit jacket which he was still holding onto. "Will yous take me?" He didn't want to admit that he couldn't make it to the lake very well on his own, never mind that it was obvious he couldn't.
Nathan wasn't deterred for long, and was soon back to trying to touch Skwisgaar. "You should stay like this," Nathan was saying, "at least for the next tour. It'd be brutal. You could perform in a fish tank on stage. I mean, perform as in play guitar. Oh! But you could do tricks too, like, uh, Flipper. If Flipper was a shark-guy. Most metal thing ever..." Nathan continued to ramble on about Skwisgaar's new life as the band's mascot slash lead guitarist slash sideshow act.
Skwisgaar would have sighed loudly if he'd had the breath to spare.
