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.

Mmph.

[Real talk, Talon had been so focused on the damn fish he hadn't even seen Shido. Shideel, he thinks idly, lamenting his inability to turn his own name into a fish pun. He takes the fish gently in his hands, a small cloud of blood billowing behind it with every movement.]

Sorry, chummer. Got carried away. Surprisingly exciting, being a shark.

[Shido's nose wrinkles at the tangy smell and taste of blood in the water, though surprisingly it tastes kind of... good...? Enticing?

His eyebrows arch when he recognizes the voice.]


Talon? I can barely recognize you.

Tell me about it. At least most of you guys got to keep your damn torso and head shapes.

[He sighs.]

Gotta be honest, I'm worried this won't reverse for me. It's so much worse than anyone else's that I've seen so far.

Is— is that a real possibility? That we're stuck like this?

[Shido looks a bit horrified. HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE A SLIMY SEA SNAKE FOREVER...???]
