I'll keep this short and to the point to give you guys time to strategize, catch up, all of that. Congrats on your Magatus missions. Looks like everything's been cleared out as best as we can, but the region's been evacuated thanks to a couple of factors. The new problem is we just added a bunch of people to city limits. I've got some good news and some bad news. Bad news: need some people out in Pesgare to do some deepdiving and recovery. It doesn't look like there's anything out there that'll kill you, but I need something from down there to stabilize Recollé itself. Good news: got the subway working. Did you know it was just about coding? That's a little crazy to me and okay, I might have found out on accident, but…whatever was blocking exits from the city was just a false creation. It means getting out of here and checking out the progress outside. The trains will be ready for departure in about a week, I'll get some maps drawn up and everything. I could really use some of you on location scouting. Finally…who knows about machinery? We've got a problem we should probably look into, but keeping track of that eye's a huge pain in the ass. Discuss, get in touch with me, prepare. You know the drill.

[!!!!!!!!!! DEEP SEADIVING? THAT MEANS--]

I wonder how the octopi are doing..! The last I saw them, they had it out for my groups' heads due to some

unfortunate circumstances.

Such as beating up the princess, who attacked our cruise ship. I suppose she was looking for the bone band, but we canceled their show. Though I suppose we'll be bringing our own equipment versus gaining it a la fins and gills.

[manufactured]

I suppose we should look on the bright side, in that it can't possibly be worse than the actual cruise ship.

[twostringsonebow]

Do you think we'll find its remains? And never underestimate how terrible something can be, it certainly can be worse.

[manufactured]

Well, rock bottom has to be hit at some point, and that was fairly far down, at least.

Although I'm honestly wondering that myself - if we'll find the ship, or the coven that was down there, or just the entire insane lot of individuals we ran into.

[twostringsonebow]

Is it possible that

Well.

Do you think they remember us?

[fiddlestick]

Wait did you say some octopi might be out to kill you over beating up a princess??

[twostringsonebow]

They may be, yes.

They weren't too fond of us even after we returned their heirloom from the coven.

[fiddlestick]

Oh boy...

And you think those octopi will be there in Pesgare?

[twostringsonebow]

With how the world is, who can say? If so, I'd like to meet them again only if they didn't recall me.

[floret]

An octopus princess sounds captivating...

[twostringsonebow]

She was, um

very beautiful for her kind, I suppose? But also very angry. I'm sure she was pleasant company for anyone who hadn't offended her.

[floret]

Are you looking forward to meeting her again?

[dereban]

. . . Have people actually gained fins and gills before?

[ #priorities.... ]

[twostringsonebow]

Yes. When myself and several others were sent to the depths, we gained gills to breathe with and webbed digits to help us swim... our phones, unfortunately, did not gain the same spectacular power and were temporary lost to us.

They were compensated, of course, but I've never taken for granted my phone since.

[dereban]

I see. I wonder if that's going to happen a second time if people are going down there or if everyone's going to have to buy scuba gear. Although it makes sense that the phones weren't waterproofed, but it sucks to have them lost temporarily to the strongest power of all: water.

[ will goro even know who this is when souji's username is just a cat kaomoji and his display icon is a picture of his cat, cream-san... ]

It sounds like those octopi were in the right. That poor princess just wanted a fun band show and you ruined it.

How could you, Akechi-san?

[twostringsonebow]

[what the fuck is this shit



at least he knows cream-san But What The Fuck]

She attacked us first.

[twostringsonebow]

But they were certainly in the right, I just wish they'd eased our sentence for returning an heirloom to their hands... um, tentacles.

[tarotcards]

Returning an heirloom is nothing compared to the disappointment of never being able to see your favourite band play in a concert.

They might still be holding that grudge when you return, you know.

DARK LORD MEOW

[maskreant]

you're giving my flashbacks i don't even have.

[ Just of Goro talking about them!!! Not even the event itself! ]

[twostringsonebow]

Come with me and experience them real time. Perhaps we'll come upon a pirate's cove or a shipwreck.

[maskreant]

i don't know...

will you take me to a buffet like last year?

un: Lily

[sleepingknight]

I knew octopi had civilizations now but that sounds wild

[twostringsonebow]

It was very wild. If I wasn't nervous about losing my life, I would've been far more excited than I was... and I was very, very excited in the first place.

They had a barter system, with items, information, errands... it was truly remarkable.

[sleepingknight]

Woooow, that's amazing!

Do you think we'll run into them if we go?
