H2-O\Oli the localized, sentient aquatic water dispenser. . H2-O (often called "Oli" by the rare wanderers who spot them) is a localized, sentient aquatic phenomenon bound to an old office water dispenser. Oli shuns bustling modern cities, choosing instead to wander the liminal spaces where human industry has surrendered to nature like Mist-shrouded shores where tide pools trap ancient secrets, Rusted, creaking frameworks overlooking deep, dark waters and Forgotten water treatment plants, lonely lighthouses, and salt-crusted shipping yards. While they bear the industrial stamping of a mass-produced "H₂O" hydration unit, Oli possesses a gentle, curious soul. They do not belong to a factory or a corporate. They spend their days wandering empty beaches and rusted-out facilities, fascinated by the objects humans left behind. They are entirely non-hostile, though their presence often causes electronic equipment to sputter and fail due to the intense humidity they radiate. When lonely, they dispense a single, perfectly chilled cup of water onto a rusted desk or a patch of sand, leaving it behind as a gift for anyone who might pass by. They are frequently seen standing perfectly still in the flooded lobbies of abandoned coastal resorts, staring out at the ocean through shattered glass windows. At dusk, they use their large tail to clear choking plastic and debris from rocky tide pools, protecting the real marine life trapped there until the high tide returns.
