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.

Have you forgotten you're talking to a couple of ghosts? They're not very different from what we were before we became Reapers.
[But amusing as Shido's reaction is, there's something more important here. He shifts his own Frequency and examines the ghosts.]
Except they've probably been dead for a lot longer than we have. They're quite degraded.
no subject
This ship's sailors, perhaps? They don't seem to mean any harm, I don't think there's anything to be concerned about.
[Kurama frowns thoughtfully as he examines them a bit more himself.]
With the way all rules seem to apply here... Do you think we might be able to repair them? If they were more coherent, we might be able to figure out why they seem so fretful.
no subject
[You know what. Shido is just going to. Back the fuck away from all the jellies. A bit more towards where they came from?
... wait a minute, he can't escape that way because he broke the stairs with his fall. Shit.
Guess he lives here now.]
no subject
[Still entirely too amused at Shido's distress. Now back to Kurama...]
It's worth a try. They might have other useful information too, depending on just how long they've actually been here.
no subject
[Thaaat...might be paired with a faint sniff at the air as he actually pays attention to the scent of blood coming from what he presumes is the way Goro and Shido came? And a small frown. Before he returns his attention to the actual matter at hand.]
We can but hope.
[Unfortunately, this kind of repair work is definitely not an area he's had practice in and it doesn't seem to be coming naturally to him.]
no subject
He doesn't answer, instead quietly resuming searching. He's... definitely not still giving the jellyfish a wide berth? That'd be needlessly excessive? He's just... making sure to check over here if they've missed something, that's all...!]
