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.

[ This is it. The moment of truth. ] Yes!

[ One. Two. DROP!!! ]

[DROP!!!!

The sparkle of light is a lot bigger this time, honestly sort of filling the area around them? But the moment it passes out of "Nono's possession" and into "Izunia's possession," the singularity successfully vanishes.]


... That feels like it worked.

[ Nono lets out an audible sigh of relief. ]

Thank you. I don't think onee-sama would forgive me if I let the universe get destroyed after everything I said to her.
founderinglight: ([hold])

It's no trouble. Hopefully it should stay put in there and not consume all of my inventory.

[Because then he'd be reduced to pockets and that would be bad.]

Now that the crisis is past, might I have your name, young lady?
nonono7: (aa aa aa aa)

[ With all of that excitement done and not needing to contain the mass of a singularity any more, the bright orange of Nono's hair fades back into a normal-ish pink. You know, as normal as pink hair can look anyway. ]

Oh, right! My name is Nono. [ She gives a quick salute. ] At your service!



Um, and you are?

[Honestly not the weirdest thing he's seen here. He has a friend who is technically a fox, it's fine.]

Izunia Lucis Caelum, but please, just call me Izunia. It's a pleasure.
nonono7: (grooooovin' magic)

Mr. Izunia! You should know that... You're really cool!

Ah - thank you?

[His player really needs to add the BOOF icon.]
