Coral Sea - Sunken Ship

Your mention of people getting "suckered by Azul" is concerning, but otherwise, this sounds like perfectly smooth sailing.
What exactly is the problem?

Ain't it obvious? It's just boring. I got usually checked out.
So like, I left to take a solo trip around the world or whatever...

Oh, that sounds like a good decision. I've seen data suggesting a vacation is a optimal way to lift your spirits. Where'd you go?

FLASHBACK

First, the Shaftlands. The flagship store for one of my favorite clothing brands is there.
I was checkin' out their selection when this bossy-lookin' old dude came up to me like...
"Hey, you wanna be in a fashion show?"

SFX
*Applause and joyful shouts*

I thought it sounded cool, so I did it. And after it was over, the dude was like...
"Hey, what do you think about signing an exclusive contract with our brand?"


Interesting. I could see you getting popular as a model, Floyd.

But if I went exclusive, I'd only be able to wear their brand, right? Which is boring, so I turned him down.

Boring? Is that a concern?

Sure it is.
Anyway I bought so much stuff in the Shaftlands, I went broke. So I figured I'd hit up the Sunshine Lands for some part-time gigs.

Whoa... Manual labor? That's something I'd prefer to steer clear of forever...

What a strange detail for a dream to be realistic about.

FLASHBACK

I saw a pretty famous restaurant was hiring, so I put in a application.
When I did the interview, they hired me on the spot for my experience in food service.
And then like my third day on the job, I threw together somethin' for a staff meal that the chef totally loved.
The chef asked if we could serve some of it to customers and I was like, "Yeah, whatevs."
Then it was such a huge hit, it had people linin' up out the door.


If it was good enough for people to line up for, I wanna try it! What was it?

I forget.

Mrah?!

The chef was all like, "This belongs on the menu! Could you share the recipe?" and, "I have a sous-chef spot with your name on it..."
But how'm I supposed to remember somethin' I threw together at random? It ain't like I wanna to be a chef, either.
I just throw together whatever I feel like eatin' in the moment.
It was runnin' into a hassle so I told 'em, "I'm goin' to another country. I quit." And then I hit up the Scalding Sands...

Man, what a waste! If your work at a fancy restaurant, you get all the tasty staff meals you can eat!

What where you looking for in the Scalding Sands?

FLASHBACK

I heard it had these "desert" things that're like seas except with sand instead of water, so I though that'd be cool to check out.
So I rented one of these funny-lookin' horses with big bumps on their backs...
Horses with bumps? Are you referring to camels?

Yeah, those dudes. So I was ridin' one of those across the desert, and I found this cave...
SFX
*Footsteps on the sand*

I explored inside 'cuz it too looked neat, and I found this shiny black teapot.
A teapot? Wait, you don't mean...

It seemed like it'd be a good one for a Jade to use, so I figured I'd take it back with me. Then when I brushed the sand off...
This big red ghost-lookin' guy came out.


I knew it! That's the legendary lamp that the genie was trapped in!

Yeah, that's when it hit me this must be the dude I learned about in Professor Red Squid's class.

Happening upon that magic lamp is an unbelievable stroke of good fortune.
Did the genie offer to grant you three whises?

Yup. So...
First, I wished for something cold, minty, and carbonated to drink.
Second, I wished for a double scoop of lemon and cream gelato...
And last, I wished for whatever the best street food in the Scalding Sands was.

You squandered your wishes on such childish requests?!

This is the Genie of the Lamp that dwells in the desert of the Scalding Sands we're talking about.
Isn't he so powerful, he can transform a street thief into a genuine royal prince?!

Huh? Look, it was hot, and I was hungry.

Mraaah! What a waste!

This is all beyond impulsive...

After that I went to the Sunset Savanna, the Queendom of Roses, and Briar Valley...
But everyone there seemed so weak, it was just boring, y'know...?

Excuse me?! I can't let that go unchallenged.
I can't speak for those other places, but Briar Valley is home to many proud and powerful fae.
More to the point, it's home to Queen Maleficia and her heir apparent Malleus!
There's no way they'd come across as weak, and they'd CERTAINLY never lose to the likes of you!

Huh? Dude, a rando plebe like me can't just walk up and meet royalty.

What?

And who'd just rock up to the castle gates and demand a fight? Weirdos, that's who. Are you stupid or what?

Why are you suddenly thinking rationally?!

Well, Floyd's not the kind of hardcore martial artist that goes around storming dojos and collecting their signboards...
And he's not some shonen fighting manga main character that's obsessed with getting stronger.

So yeah. I got bored of bein' up on land and came back to the sea.
Not that it's any less boring here...
I saw a disturbance in the water up on the surface so I came to see if somethin' interesting was finally happening...
But when I flipped the boat, all I found was a buncha guys I already know.

So you flipped our boat purely for your own entertainment?! Have you no regard for others?!

Maaaaaan... Can't somethin' interesting happen for once...?

Hey, don't ignore me!
