Morning, Little Shrimpy, Baby Seal!
We're here to get you. It's time to go! |
|
Erk! Whenever I see you two, I'm always worried you're schemin' something. Makes my heart skip a beat. |
|
Please. We would never dream of getting rough with those who aren't in breach of contract.
The weather's quite clear today— perfect for an outing. On that note... |
|
Off we go to the Atlantica Memorial Museum! |
|
Azul's arranged it so that we'll have the whole museum booked for ourselves.
He's already gone ahead and is waiting for us on-site. |
| That picture had better go back where it belongs.
| You'd better not have doctored the photo, okay?
|
|
You're takin' this so seriously, Little Shrimpy! We get it, don't worry. Now, time's a-wastin'! |
|
|
We haven't. I've taken full responsibility for keeping the photo in safe custody. |
|
C'mon, let's move. Time's a-wastin'! |
|
Atlantica Memorial Museum
|
Duuude! WILD. So this is what it's like inside. |
|
There's a statue of a legendary Sea King. Huh. I guess there're more famous figures around these parts than just the Sea Witch. |
|
Wow. That king's pretty ripped. |
|
Welcome, everyone, to the Atlantica Memorial Museum.
The Mostro Lounge will be holding a study tour today.
Or at least, that's the purpose of our visit on paper. Regardless, I bid you take your time and enjoy yourselves. |
|
There you are, octo-tentacle Azul! Only... you're not. Are you just stayin' in human form? |
|
Yes. Betentacled mermen like myself aren't common around these parts.
I wouldn't want to draw any undue attention to myself when our job is to return a photo on the sly. |
|
I see no reason to be concerned. No one would see the cute chubby little merman in the picture and connect that it's you. |
|
It wouldn't hurt you any to swim around in your real form on a trip home! Why limit yourself to two legs when you can have eight? |
|
Hmph. Just drop it, please.
I'm going to slip the photo back in its spot. The rest of you, feel free to explore the museum. |
|
Hey, check it out. There's a display for the mermaid princess's silver hair comb. |
|
I saw a picture of that in the pamphlet before. That's clearly a fork, not a comb, right? |
|
Heh heh heh... Maybe that's how it looks to you land-dwellers. |
|
You're not joining them? |
| I'm keeping an eye on you until the photo's back in place. | I'm a little worried about you. |
|
You're so suspicious. I'll put it back right now.
I thought that if I could erase every photo of my past...
...I could erase my past itself—my youth spent mocked as a slow, dimwitted octo-twerp.
The Sea Witch never hid her past misdeeds. She worked to restore her reputation, and earned the people's respect that way.
I kept saying I wanted to be like her...
But in the end, I couldn't accept my own past. I kept rejecting it. |
| You're amazing as it is, even without stealing anyone else's powers. | You've got a far greater power than magic, you know. |
|
What...? |
| Your incredible diligence is so rare, it left the headmage at a loss. | Diligence is way harder to master than magic. |
|
You... You think?
Heh. You needn't try so hard to butter me up.
All I wanted to do was get back at the kids who made fun of me. |
|
Hey, [MC]! You wouldn't believe the size of the dinosaur bones they had back there! |
|
That wasn't a dinosaur. It was a sea dragon— a type of undersea monster.
The Sea Witch's cave entrance was built out of sea dragon bones...or so the tales claim. |
|
They've got a replica of the Sea Witch's cauldron, too. |
|
Really? They have cauldrons under the sea, too? |
|
How do you heat things up in the water, anyway? |
|
Uhhh... Beats me. Azul, you tell 'em! |
|
Very well. Fair warning, though: I charge a steep price for playing tour guide. |
