would he ever not though

[abysmalactor]

wait what the heck are you doing sitting still in a forest? ain't that dangerous?

[it would be IF HE WASN'T A KELPIE but yes. it's suspicious. too bad he's actually trying to be like a proper "niisan" now.]

-stares at shingo, sighs-

[soft_focus]

Only if I fall.

I'm in a tree, I have to stay here from noon to sunset for a quest.

he's an idiot

[abysmalactor]

a quest, huh? one of those things for mana?

[soft_focus]

Yeah, so that I can see better in dark water.

Are you coming yet?

[abysmalactor]

wait, aren't you already a water...ish kinda monster? you can't see that well yet?

but fine fine! i'm coming! honest!

[He's...at least moving that way, yes!]

[soft_focus]

Can you see everything in Tsukikage's spider pit?

Okay! I'm waiting!

[abysmalactor]

well, i can see a lot

[but no, he can't. manticore eyes are good but not that good. you win.]

be there in two shakes of a minotaur's tail!

[soft_focus]

You probably wouldn't be able to see the stuff in the lake then.

It was really dark. Too dark. We could see some things if we got close, but that wasn't good enough.

[abysmalactor]

so that's how it is, huh. but whaddaya wanna go to the bottom of the lake for, anyway?

[soft_focus]

I already went, that's why I have Lusus now.

[Though if you weren't around at Christmas, you probably haven't seen Lusus...] I don't know, I might go back down after this...

There were strange carvings, and it almost looked like a city. It was too dark though...

[abysmalactor]

Lusus?

[Wait, strange carvings...?]

wait, there's a sunken city down there? or carvings that looked like a city?

[soft_focus]

He hatched from the rock! He's with me right now but I think he fell asleep.

I don't know! It seemed like a city, with a great big crack in the middle. There were carvings on the walls, but I only saw a little, because we had to get Vriska back out of the water, and I couldn't see properly.

[abysmalactor]

Rock? I think you're gonna have to explain that one, Reira.

Huh. I wonder if it's a similar city compared to the ones the other investigators found? You know, those ruins with the weird murals?

[soft_focus]

It's probably a Mana thing.

Maybe! But I have to go down again to see...and it's way too dark for that.

It's dangerous too, there were giant saw fish that cut off my wings.

[abysmalactor]

s

sawfish?! i've heard of swordfish, but sawfish?!

i'm surprised you got outta that kinda mess alive!

[soft_focus]

So was Kurosaki!

Except I think he was mad too, he was really scared when I got out.

So was I. It was really scary. Those fish are really big, bigger than your wings!

[abysmalactor]

wait, BIGGER THAN MY WINGS? they coulda swallowed you whole, then!

[HIS WINGS ARE HUUUUUGE, REIRA. you sure they're bigger than those? u sure?]

[soft_focus]

YEAH!

But they couldn't swim properly, they had to climb the big salt pillars and then fall. That's why I only lost my wings.

It still hurt though, and the lake was really salty!

[abysmalactor]

that doesn't make much sense, but at least you were able to get away! that's a relief, reira! although, it musta hurt a lot, right? getting your wings cut off in a salty lake and all.

[soft_focus]

Why doesn't it make sense?

It really hurt! Sora helped make some of the pain go away, but even then it was really sore.

More than getting shocked by the duel disks, I think.

[abysmalactor]

i mean the way the fish move doesn't make sense! not being able to swim properly even though they're underwater like that

i guess that's what let you get away or something

huh! i can imagine! i mean getting shocked by the duel disks only happens for a little bit, not like your wings getting cut off!

[soft_focus]

Oh, they climb up the salt pillars, that's why it makes sense.

It also just doesn't hurt as bad when you're shocked.

[Excuse-]

[abysmalactor]

Fish shouldn't climb, they should swim! What kinda fish even climbs?

And well of course it doesn't, right? Getting wings permanently cut off is definitely different than just being shocked for a while!

[soft_focus]

This one.

And the wings stopped hurting after they were out of the salt. The big pain was when they were cut off, but it was the salt that made it bad.

Are you close yet?

[abysmalactor]

well that's why they have that saying, "rubbing salt in the wound"! hurts like crazy!

and yeah, i'm almost there! [Pretend there was a delay before this message came in. He got hella sidetracked.] someone stopped me, throwing all sorts of weird accusations. like i'd send a valentine like that!

[bleah.]
