DUNGEON LOG: KEYSTONE REEF
Expedition day dawns, as usual, with an android mass text -
Okay, so, this time we're aiming to go out and stabilize the Fissure in the reef you can see up a little to the north of here. The waters are usually pretty calm this time of year, so if you can swim instead of needing to take a boat, that'd be a great help. We only have a few of them.
Also, I know that last time was a mess, so I'm just gonna say this: If you need to get out for any reason, just send us a message and a picture of your location. We'll get a drone out to you as soon as we can and bring you home. No questions asked.
( ﾟ▽ﾟ)/ Stay safe out there! When you're ready to go, meet us down at the beach. The rocky, sparkly one, not the sandy one.
Unlike previous expeditions, this time there's no rooftop sendoff - instead, as Charm noted, the tables are set up on Glitterstone beach, along with a series of boats pulled up on the sand. Two rowboats that could maybe sit six people but probably better suited for four, a trio of inflatable rafts (with motors attached to the back, all mismatched) of about the same size, a two-person dinghy and a long canoe that could hold two or three.
Besides the little fleet, there's also the usual bagged lunches (in gallon ziplocs this time, and other such watertight containers), and every boat is equipped with a large number of those chepa dollar-store water bottles, all with their airtight store seals. There's also a selection of life vests and other floatation thingies in a box next to the table. Strange hovers over the setup, checking watertightness of a handful of first aid kits with a spritzer and a bucket to submerge things in. They give a little wave to anyone passing by headed to the boats.
For those who opt instead to swim, everything seems perfectly normal until you reach the border of the Fissure... When, very suddenly, it isn't.

Difficult. But useful. ...The thing on my head is inconvenient. Are you? All right.

[ She's not sure how to explain it or if she should even try. It's the idea of being changed, made into something else with no way yet of coming back. It unsettles her in a way she can't quite put words to.
It reminds her of Megurigaoka. That's never a good thing. ]
I'm a little worried. That's all. It's our first outing and then all this happens.

If you get into any sort of trouble, just call for one of us. I might not be able to do much up here, but you've seen how many of us there are around. We'll be okay, Mai-chan.

[Yuuri's been around Mai long enough that she can probably recognize the extremely slight uptick in her facial expression as a smile.]
Okay. And there's probably something above the water, too. Something only you can do. So I believe in you.

[ She gives Mai a grin. ]
I wouldn't be part of this family if I was any good at keeping myself out of trouble, would I?
