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.

At a guess, because Mara negates mental control.

[That's...not stopping him from cringing behind his bright red tengu mask.]

[ JUST... GIVING MAI A SOMEWHAT OVERPLAYED DRAMATICALLY SERIOUS LOOK. He gives a single nod. ]

What he said.

[ Even if you totally could have just used Uriel, Akira???? ]
nojohnyouare: Blushing and holding Sayuri's hand. (oh you make everything okay)

........It looks like Kip designed it.

[She's still staring.]

[ Please don't stare at it...

This somehow feels awkward. ]


I'm both intrigued and worried over whoever Kip is.
nojohnyouare: Concerned look, but still guarded. (you want a revelation)

An interesting person. But... Fixated.

[ One brow quirks, though it might be difficult to tell with all the scales around his eyes. ]

Fixated?
nojohnyouare: Determined lunge. (and in your place there were)

For later.

[Y'know, given the disgusting water and the boss fight directly in front of them. She raises a plastic sword like the real thing.]

[ He, uh... will be a little surprised by that choice of weapon, but then his whole team back home was armed with plastic weapons. The power of Belief can be pretty intense, so he'll just make a note to keep an eye on her just in case... ]

Fair enough.

[ He flashes her a soft grin before nodding. ]

Let's do this.
