Coral Sea - Sunken Ship
 |
Mrrblrblrgh! I can't breathe! |
 |
Calm down, everyone! Prepare to meet the enemy attack and—hm? I'm talking normally, underwater? |
 |
You're right! I can breathe. |
 |
There's some kind of giant bubble around my body. What is this? |
| An aerosphere made with technomantic nanomachines. |
|
Idia, what are these technomantic nano...things? |
 |
TL;DR: teeny tiny robots that combine to form a barrier between you and the water. I figured you might need to go underwater for this next dream, so I had aquatic gear data ready to go. We're the ones picking the coordinates and all. |
|
Thank goodness! Now we can fight whatever attacked our boat. |
 |
Ah! Aether signature reading 10 meters ahead. Estimated length, four meters! Judging by its size, it must be the creature that knocked over our boat. |
|
Four meters? That's pretty big. We'll need to take it down with magic! MC, you get back. |
| All right. | Be careful. |
|
Come at us if you dare! |

*Bubbles* |
All |
...... |
|
Nothing's comin'. |
|
I'm still getting that reading 10 meters ahead... But it's not budging at all. |
|
If it won't attack, we should attack instead. Let's close in carefully and... |
??? |
*SIIIIIIGH* Boooriiiin'... |
|
Wait a minute... That voice sounds familiar... |
 |
I was hopin' for some decent excitement... But nah, it's just land peeps... |
| Floyd?! |
|
Mm... You guys know me? People from land kinda blur together for me... |
|
I'm Jamil Viper, a fellow sophomore. I'm in the Basketball Club with you, remember? |
|
Ah... I guess that sounds vaguely familiar... Eh, whatever. I ain't interested in school or anythin' up on land anyomore. |
|
Uh, is this how Floyd normally acts? |
|
Who would say? My data describes him as heavily prone to mood swings. Maybe he's just in a poor mood right now. |
|
At leasts he remembers Night Raven College. |
|
Floyd, where are Azul and Jade? You three are always together, right? |
|
Huh...? We ain't some package deal or anythin'. |
|
Azul's work's been goin' good, I guess. I think he was talkin' about openin' up a few more Mostro Lounge branches. He's prolly still up on land. And Jade's... probably with Azul? I dunno. |
|
Did you come back to the sea by yourself? |
|
I mean... I got bored. |
|
Bored? Aren't you a member of the Mostro Lounge's management team? If the business is going well, isn't that a good thing for you? |
|
Maybe, but like, things go great no matter what I do... *sigh* |
|
See, I figured there were entertaining people up on land. Kinds you wouldn't find under the sea. But they're all so weak. Just a buncha small fry not even worth botherin' with. And they all get suckered by Azul, hook, line, and sinker... |
|
He's got so many anemones at this point, he doesn't even need more. We had a second and third Mostro Lounge branch open in no time flat... *siiigh* |
|
Your mention of people getting "suckered by Azul" is concerning, but otherwise, this sounds like perfectly smooth sailing. What exactly is the problem? |
