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.

[Not exactly Undyne's usual battle cry, but it's what she shouts right before fullbody tackling Lin, aiming to flip her over and pin her arms behind her back.]

It was pretty clear that while she was a skilled fighter, she was also not used to fighting under water at ALL.

In her head, Lin felt like something was wrong, but she couldn't focus on it. She couldn't focus on anything, for that matter. It was all just metaphorical pink clouds. The closest comparison she could think of was to being drunk, but even that wasn't quite right. Her consciousness drifted through a dream while her body obeyed the Siren's will.

[As the magic catches, Lin will notice an oddly heavy- if not entirely unpleasant- feeling in her chest, and a faint green glow around her. The shield that encases her is a pale green as well, transparent enough to easily see through and shaped like a half sphere. It forms a dome over her, leaving her stuck in place.]
[For a moment, Undyne breathes heavily, forcing away the memories of the last time someone human-shaped charged at her intending to fight.]

Then the pink fog starts draining away from her mind and Bai Lin started coming back to her senses, as Undyne's magic cut the Siren off from access to Lin's mind. She blinked a few times and shook her head.
"Wh...What just happened? Why am I in a bubble?"
no subject
I'm pretty sure 'mind control' is the answer to both those questions.
...that, or you just decided you really liked that creepy seaweedy jerk and decided to punch us all in the face for it?

She turned to look at the flailing beast.
"Whatever it did, it did it to me when I touched it."

"I can't believe I'm considering doing this again but, just. Get me close to it. I'll have maybe a few seconds to act before it gets me again, but if this works I'll be too stunned to be able to help it again."
