20k Leagues Under the Sea

[idolpro]

Who: Youse guys
Where: The game tower
When: Day 381, post graduations

[The lobby of the game tower is made up to look as though it's underwater; the walls shimmer with the reflections of waves, and the lights have the faint blue-green tint of sunlight filtered through water]

[Colorful jellyfish made all of paper covered with printed text float by overhead, and schools of brilliantly colored paper fish skitter away from anything that comes close enough to be considered a threat.]

[Careful: there's a paper shark up near the ceiling]

[You may also find yourself mysteriously done up in steampunk attire]

[Near the far wall, there is an open book on a pedestal. The pages are blank. It is titled GUEST BOOK, and a pen waits nearby.]

"WE COME TO the conclusion of this voyage under the seas. What happened that night differs for you all--some slinking back from a failed quest, or escaping safely from the Maelstrom’s fearsome eddies, others contorted in pain, gnarled fingers gripping at throats made too familiar with the deep. Nevertheless, all eventually wash up on the shores, rejoined once again.

So it is here that you may review your narratives of these adventures. It is accurate. Not a fact has been omitted, not a detail has been exaggerated. It’s the faithful record of this inconceivable expedition into an element now beyond human reach, but where progress will someday make great inroads."

[The beach is cool and rocky, but the fisherman's hut nearby seems kitted out with what urgent supplies you may need after such a journey, such as towels, hot broth, and the elevators back to Tokyo. In fact, you'd best make yourself at home, as the elevators do not open just yet.]

[ an attempt sure was made!, but punching sharks and kicking squids will only get you so far when you can't and they can breath underwater. he's full of teeth marks and there are dozens of bruising sucker markings around his neck, because if drowning wasn't bad enough he was choked out while doing so. ]

[ ripperoni. ]

cw: mild body horror maybe?

[romanticlove]

[Hello, she is very dead and very waterlogged and definitely has chunks of flesh missing because she became fish food. Everything is fine.]

Re: ENDGAME

[proceedwithcautus]

[ protip for not getting chunks torn out of you by squids: be a walking biohazard

ayyyyy. ]

Nnnh...

[ one weird trick to survive the ocean: BE THE FIERCEST PREDATOR IN THE SEA

they're covered in blood and also have been bitten a bunch but they're not like, missing anything? they seem pretty fine. ]

Ha! We got the fish!

cw: emeto/vomit

[runawayprince]

[He just wanted a big sword fish :(

Instead he is on the beach, coughing up half the ocean it seems. Once he's done, he'll just find somewhere to lay on the beach, looking very green around the gills as it were.]

Damn it. I feel like an idiot.

[Hyacinth washes up on the shore in a huge wave created by an explosive eruption beneath the water. He appears to have some thick shards of glass embedded in his limbs, and a twisted and torn length of brushed bronze pipe running completely through his shoulder... but he curls up, coughing up a mix of blood and seawater, so he appears to be aaaalive?]

Dammit... Where'd that fish go—?!

Re: ENDGAME

[420blazeit]

[ there is a LOT of thrashing going on in the water along the shore and if you squint you can probably see there's a sparkling pink & blue snake girl trying to punch a shark that's JUST trying to have some lunch, ...which is perhaps the cause of all of the socking and bopping. ]

[ that's HER arm!!! ]

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[hacking up sea water and still bleeding sluggishly from where he dinged his head on something but otherwise he seems fine]

Ugh... Holy shit, there's the fish!

Re: ENDGAME

[leaveofabsence]

[ Well, he comes out of the adventure looking extra crispy done, waterlogged and with a suspicious bite mark or two.







How Zhongli hates the water - let him count the ways.

Don't mind him. He's just gonna lay facedown in the nice forgiving wonderful sand for a moment. ]

Re: ENDGAME

[avestan]

[washes up very much crushed and bleeding and drowned

but clutching a bigass swordfish which he has somehow managed to hold on to]

Re: ENDGAME

[sancrimony]

[ sometimes you humor bad ideas and then you get eaten, because you taste like, super good or something

anyway this isn't a pretty sight. he seems very still, except for a shallow rise and fall of his chest, but there are many things missing that would make this a whole person. fish had fun. ]

Re: ENDGAME

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ Well. He was just enjoying some broth and looks absolutely perfectly fine in his cute new clothes. When all of a sudden everyone is washing up ashore looking like a mess. ]

. . . W-Why couldn't people just enjoy their clothes and leave it at that!?

Re: ENDGAME

[scattershot]

[Well, we learned a valuable lesson today.

[Surprisingly enough, that lesson is not don't mess around with lava: that was apparently not entirely the issue. Alisaie is nowhere near together enough, in any sense of the word, to take much note of it. Explosive decompression coupled with actual explosions coupled with blood in the water coupled with hungry fish do not make for much that's immediately recognizable left to wash up.]

Re: ENDGAME

[metafaliure]

[ happily coming out, unharmed, with a bunch of exciting scientific jars and flasks and ]

[ what the hell happened here ]

Re: ENDGAME

[syckophant]

[You know. Eichi could have come out worse than he did, all things considered. He's soaked, has a few scrapes from fragments of glass, and he is also.

A lot more drunk than he was when going down.

You would think nearly dying would sober him up, but he doesn't really feel that sober when crawling out of the ocean and coughing up seawater. He's so dizzy... so he will just. Lay down once he can breathe.]

Mmmhhhh.... no, next time, I say no.

Re: ENDGAME

[irregular]

[Turns out drowning is awful, actually.]

Re: ENDGAME

[time5kip]

[ oh no, wet socks. How will he survive ]

Re: ENDGAME

[wineanddie]

[ Sanguine is also crawling up on the beach, hacking up water, looking rather bedraggled ]

-- never getting in such an accursed vessel again ...

Re: ENDGAME

[featherbeaned]

[ a very dead and drowned alcheme washes up on shore ]

Re: ENDGAME

[onemoreknight]

Wow, that was a lot of fun! Even if it was kinda scary being that deep in the sea...

Re: ENDGAME

[deicider]

[Cardinal is totally dry and unharmed. They eye the rough results with a frown.]

Re: ENDGAME

[firstworldproblem]

[Washing on the shore quite waterlogged and and more black and blue than is recommended by 4 out of 5 doctors. But looking around and seeing not an insignificant number of people have teeth marks, well, it could be worse!]

Crushed or diseased, was it? I think we managed that, Eichi.

Re: ENDGAME

[asonoficeandfire]

[totally unharmed and dry and—]

What happened?

[failedsafe]

[Lily washes up on the shore, bruised and cut and hacking up seawater

But she's laughing.

Also she has a huge, living fish and it's really incredibly beautiful to look at. Also it has teeth.]

HAHAHAHAHAHA--[cough, wheeeeeeze]

All worthy strides made in the name of progress and discovering the unknown!
