Coral Sea
 |
Ah! They're going somewhere else now. |
 |
We can't afford to lose them. Let's follow! |
 |
Rgh, it's so hard to move around underwater! |
 |
It doesn't help that these aerospheres are so wide they keep colliding with each other. |
Merfolk Cheerleaders |
Squeee! Wait up, Azul! |
Merfolk Cheerleaders A |
Hey, out of the way, people! |
Merfolk Cheerleaders B |
Those jellyfish membranes around you are blocking the way. Stop taking up so much space! |
| *SLAM* |
| Ow! | Shouldn't you apologize when you run into someone? |
|
|
 |
I'm so sorry how people from my school treated you. Are you fins or scales hurt anywhere? Ah, what's this? You have two tailfins. Are you a visitor from land, perhaps? |
| Yes, I'm a land-dweller. | I'm here from Night Raven College. |
|
|
|
My name is Azul Ashengrotto. I'm the captain of the Golden Tridents, my school's coral rush team. |
 |
Mr. Ashengrotto I was quite impressed with how you were playing back there. Can I trouble you for an autograph? |
|
Certainly! What would you like me to sign? |
|
The back of this tablet, please. |
 |
Wait, hold on— Aaaugh! Now there's a giant Azul signature across the back of my tablet! |
|
Ah, is that a fan of mine on the other end of the line? They seem delighted! |
|
Yes, just so. Hahaha! |
 |
...... |
|
Here you are. Thank you for your support. |
|
Thank you kindly, and keep up the good work! By the way... Do our faces ring any bells for you? |
|
Your faces? Hmm... Ah! Are you the Leeches? From elementary school? |
|
Yes! I'm honored you remember us. |
|
Oh, the memories! We were in the same class back then, weren't we? It's been ages! |
Jade & Azul |
Yeah! |
|
Ah! That's one of the classic things that extroverts do when hyped up... The bizarrely complicated and time-consuming secret handshake! |
|
I see those a lot in street basketball, but it's surreal watching those two doing it. |
 |
I have to hand it to Jade Leech. He's showing remarkable flexibility in adapting to this different Azul. |
|
Back in elementary school, I knew you two so little that—er, ahem! You both grown so big and tall, I didn't recognize you at first. Ahaha! We haven't seen one another since graduation, have we? What school are you going to now? |
|
Night Raven College. |
|
Huh?! You mean... You two merflok are attending a LAND school? That's...amazing. You must be quite brave. I could never go up on land, myself... |
Golden Tridents Player A |
Hey, Azul! Come on, let's go! |
Golden Tridents Player B |
Party can't start without the start of the team! |
|
Be right there! Oh, I know! Surely something brought us together. Would you care to come to our victory party tonight? |
|
Your victory party? Is it okay for us to join? |
|
Anyone can come if a team member invites them. I'd love to hear more about life on land. The venue is La Grotta, my mother's restaurant. It's exceedingly famous, so I assume you already know where it is. |
|
A party! Do we get good food if we go?! |
|
Ah, yes. It's not the kind of place students like yourselves would tipically be able to dine at, but today's a special occasion. I'll be waiting! Until then. |
Golden Tridents Fan A |
Ah... Azul's got such a friendly, dreamy smile! I think I'm in love. |
Golden Tridents Fan B |
He's the captain of his school's coral rush team AND his grades are the best in his class. He's on top of both worlds! |
Golden Tridents Fan C |
I'm jealous. I wish I could get invited to their party too! |
Golden Tridents Fan B |
If I could get close to the Golden Tridents... That could be enough bt itself for me to turn heads at school. |
|
Score one for us! I'm so ready to stuff my face at that party! C'mon! Let's go! Get a move on! |
|
Okay, slow down for a second. We need to review our findings first. |
