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.

Yes! Different kinds of care means they grow up into different things, and that’s important to keep in mind when you play. It's more than just a different design, each pet you raise has their own personality.

[Normally she's snoozing on a couch.... now she's so animated- so animated by Chiaki standards, at least, which objectively still isn't much- her eyes are almost anime eye-sparkling. Should’ve run when you could, Shido-san.]

I wasn't aware this was so sophisticated.

[OKAY BUT... HE'S ACTUALLY... KIND OF CURIOUS??? teach him tamagotchi-senpai

After a moment of hesitation, he shows her the device's screen.]


Then what's the name of this one?

Hmm...

[She peers studiously at the toy.]

It's a teenager now. But.... if I remember right... if it looks like this it means you've taken care of your Tamagotchi well so far.

I've... certainly been trying my best. [A bit of a chuckle.] I know it's a bit strange for an old man like me to be into this sort of thing, but, well... it's a gift.

[She looks him in the eye with a great deal of conviction for her teeny anime girl body.]

There's no age-limit on games. It's not strange for anyone to play it, no matter what age or even if you're an alien that shoots lasers.

[...?]

I.. I'm sorry? A... laser-shooting alien? [this seems. strangely specific??]
