In mysterious fathoms below; Closed-ish Mingle 12/12

[expulsions]

[When Percy Jackson gets an idea, it's better just to let him do it even if it's probably a bad idea. Such an idea is how a large group of explorers wind up taking a submarine or two out toward the dunes, Percy swimming alongside them to lead them onward before diving down under the dunes. Let's do a little exploring where the water flows below, shall we?]

i.

[Deep under the dunes the group will find several waterfalls and caves to explore on their own. There's also the acid river he mentioned to a few people, all surrounded by tree-like plants in arches and pathways.

The eel is still there and even more agitated Percy brought friends this time. Do try to take care not to get electrocuted, okay?]

ii

[That's about where Percy stopped the first time, but with a crew now it's easier to keep going. Crew members may wish to follow the river northeast where they will all discover an unexpected and massive structure. It's easy to enter the docking area and check out the inside of the base through the dim lighting.

It's clear that it's different than anything else they've seen before. Crew members can explore the different floors but it's clear that every area has one thing in common. What will you do with these aquariums?]

iii

[Because really, the base itself has a lot to look at. Each aquarium houses weird little creatures suspended in a stasis mode. They're definitely not moving, but it appears the tanks can be moveable.

Aside from that, there are also some terminals that could use some attention. Any of our tech-inclined crew members can fiddle with it enough to bring up a video showing someone large tearing into the facility they're in, knocking in the walls until it settles to its current form.

But if you're not interested in weird aliens or weirder terminals, there's plenty to look at. An elevator-type opening appears to be the in-between of the floors. Be careful where you step though seeing how it'll flip you into Zero G.

Or you can explore to your heart's content. Who knows what else you'll find…?]

That may depend on how it speaks with us. Telepathically, maybe, or through the dreams... Or maybe that song everything knows how to sing?

[Look. Why would things NOT be done through songs. That is 100% the preferred method where she's from.]

[expulsions]

A singing planet. [You know. Okay.] Sure. Why not? If the Song effects things in the Dreamscape and that place is just part of the planet it would make sense. I don't know how we'd even try that out though. I don't sing.

[ex_resound725]

Do you know how to play an instrument?

[expulsions]

[Well. Sorry, base.]

Yeah! Yeah, I do. [He sounds very pleased with himself, too.] You think something like that might work just as well?

[No he's not avoiding mentioning what the instrument is, why would you ask that?]

[ex_resound725]

It could! Link used the Goddess's Harp for his adventures.

[look it isn't like zelda knows what a kazoo is enough to ban it]

[expulsions]

I think mine's a little more travel-friendly than a harp. Those things are huge. [He's going to definitely try this and the ocean might cry.] I'll have to bring it along next time. Maybe being this close will help it get its message across.

Or we could ask URSULA. She might know. [...not that he'll ask URSULA, but other, more rational people might.]

[ex_resound725]

Our harps are small enough to carry in our hands. [It's helpful like that. That and having huge inventory space? Equip a harp.] Hmm, maybe there's somewhere sacred to the planet we should try to play it? Like a temple, or an enclosure where guardians rest...

Like...a lyre? [Some people are sensitive about that sort of thing. And then again, some people are Apollo.] And I'd be surprised if there wasn't a shrine or two around here, but I don't know how we'd find them. Usually there's a sign or something pointing the way.

[See this is why Zelda is a great person? He accepts all of this.]
