The Chronarium of the Tasselfish

Tasselfish

Behold! The Tasselfish, a creature of peculiar resonance within the Chronarium. These aren't mere fish; they are temporal echoes, fragments of moments preserved within the currents of time. Each specimen holds a whisper of a forgotten ocean, a glimpse of a past civilization’s bath time rituals, or perhaps simply the feeling of cool water against scales. Their gelatinous bodies are particularly sensitive to fluctuations in the chronal field, making them invaluable to our research.

Entry 734: Anomalous Chromatic Shift – Specimen Theta-9

Specimen Theta-9 exhibited a pronounced chromatic shift this cycle. Initially, a subtle shimmer, then a full spectrum bleed, culminating in a brief, localized projection of what appeared to be a submerged Victorian ballroom. Witnesses reported the distinct scent of lavender and seawater. The chronal signature is currently categorized as ‘Pleasure-Induced Temporal Distortion’. Further investigation is warranted. Note: The ballroom may or may not have featured a particularly flamboyant gentleman in a top hat.

Entry 812: The Silent Dive – Specimen Gamma-2

Gamma-2 remains an enigma. It has been observed to ‘dive’ into periods of complete silence – not simply stillness, but a demonstrable absence of all sound, even the ambient hum of the Chronarium. During these dives, its bioluminescence intensifies, and we’ve detected faint traces of a language older than recorded history. The sensation is… unsettling. We suspect a connection to the Pre-Deluge civilizations.

Entry 901: The Ripple Effect - Specimen Delta-1

Delta-1 continues to be a fascinating, if slightly disruptive, subject. Its presence seems to subtly alter the flow of time within a 3-meter radius. Small objects have been observed to age prematurely, and the temperature fluctuates inexplicably. We believe it is a nexus point, a place where the boundaries between timelines are particularly thin. It also has a disconcerting habit of reciting limericks.
