"Um, well, we're going to the nearest sea city... it's a place called Urchin's Dock.
Now, navigating the sea is a bit more difficult than navigating on land...
There's less landmarks, and everything looks the same.
So just bear with me, because my directions to get to Urchin's Dock are 'go straight from the mountain pass, stay close to the seafloor, and dive further when a wide trench is visible.'"
Fair enough.

"So yeah... we're heading to another city in the hopes of finding some clues about where to find the little spirits. I'm certain other people have been seeing them too. Maybe someone else has caught some already, it'd make our job easier."
The ocean pulls and tugs at the sand beneath you.
A sudden, slight bit of fear sparks inside...
But why?
![[Image: 092.png]](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14413662/Devilish%20stuff/092.png)
The sea extends far beyond your sight's reach, and there's nothing in the distance.
A couple of coral reefs are all that mark the way, and you'll pass them soon.
Maybe it's a fear of being lost?
![[Image: 093.png]](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14413662/Devilish%20stuff/093.png)
You come to a point where the sand beneath you gives way to rock,
and the rock almost immediately gives way to a deep, black void.
Mermaid smiles and dives straight down.
... You can't even see her anymore. It might be too late to follow.
What are you gonna do?
RE: The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea - Schazer - 02-20-2013
Heaven entrusted you with this job; there's no point having reservations. Not to mention Mermaid knows what she's doing. Follow her.
RE: The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea - Dragon Fogel - 02-20-2013
Call out, see if she answers. Maybe you can ask her to move more slowly, or hold onto your hand so you can stick close even if you can't see her?
RE: The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea - Crowstone - 02-20-2013
yeah shout out for her to slow down
should've gotten night vision
RE: The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea - AgentBlue - 02-20-2013
Scream through the darkness until some clarity emerges! Like echolocation!
RE: The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea - Infrared - 02-20-2013
Man F that, just go home.
Alternatively: Dive as fast as you can, maybe you can catch up with her?
RE: The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea - Whimbrel - 02-20-2013
If you follow her you MIGHT get lost...if you don't follow her you WILL get lost
Gotta dive
RE: The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea - btp - 02-23-2013
Dive. Though it might not be Mermaid you reach.

Mermaid, slow down, please
![[Image: 096.png]](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14413662/Devilish%20stuff/096.png)
What, are you afraid of the dark?
![[Image: 097.png]](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14413662/Devilish%20stuff/097.png)
No, not really
![[Image: 098.png]](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14413662/Devilish%20stuff/098.png)
Don't worry so much
even if you did lose sight of me
I doubt you'd lose sight of the city
![[Image: 099.png]](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14413662/Devilish%20stuff/099.png)
Look at how bright the pearls shine
pastel rainbows splayed out over silver shells
this is a city of glimmery things,
sunken to depths decreed irretrievable
It is said everything lost to the sea ends up here,
inanimate or not,
as the light attracts what the tide doesn't.
Welcome to Urchin's Dock.
What shall we do today?
RE: The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea - Schazer - 03-07-2013
Ask around for sightings of stray souls, for starters. If anybody's caught one, they'll know where they found it and give you a place to start.
RE: The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea - AgentBlue - 03-07-2013
STARE AT SHINY
RE: The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea - Dragon Fogel - 03-07-2013
Go poking around inside that sunken ship.
RE: The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea - Crowstone - 03-07-2013
visit mermaid's relatives
RE: The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea - Infrared - 03-09-2013
Looks kinda small if you ask me.
Go sightseeing

RE: The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea - Gen - 03-13-2013
Ponder existence of dock.

So Mermaid, who in this town would know anything about the souls?
"Well the people around here don't explore much, I think only the shopkeeps around here ever leave because they like hunting for washed up goods and selling them."
So, we should go talk to a shopkeeper then.
"Sure. There's a couple shops around here... I guess we'll go to one of my favorites first."
![[Image: 101.png]](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14413662/Devilish%20stuff/101.png)
You enter the Crow's Nest. This sunken ship had been repurposed into a small shop, as well as a small inn. It seems most people who would stay here end up just moving into the town later, so they don't get a lot of reoccurring customers in that department. With that in mind, the two sisters running the place are very excited to see a new face.
"Yo, Mermaid, what's up? Who's the chick you got with ya?"
![[Image: 102.png]](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14413662/Devilish%20stuff/102.png)
"Hey, Charybdis. This is my friend, Alex. We're here on a mission of sorts."
"Eheheh. Mission to buy somethin' you mean?"
"No, not necessarily. Where's Scylla?"
"Someone calling me?"
![[Image: 103.png]](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14413662/Devilish%20stuff/103.png)
"Ohh, it's Mermaid! So nice to see you again, dear, and who's your friend?"
"Her name is Alex. Alex, this would be Scylla, the market hunter in this establishment."
"That's right, ma'am! What can I do for you?"
![[Image: 104.png]](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14413662/Devilish%20stuff/104.png)
"We're here on a mission from Heaven. We've been sent to retrieve some little lost souls that may have fallen into the ocean."
Mermaid pulls out the little bottle and shows it to the two sisters.
"Have either of you seen any of these? Little bits of belief that swim around with a mind of their own?"
![[Image: 105.png]](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14413662/Devilish%20stuff/105.png)
"Eh, no I haven't. I don't get outside much. You, sis?"
"Actually I think I have."
What, really? Where did you see them?
"Ohhhh, I saw a few swimmin' round in Dragon's turf..."
"How far in Dragon's turf, Scylla?"
"Like near the entrance to his cave."
![[Image: 106.png]](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14413662/Devilish%20stuff/106.png)
"Oh."
"Yeah, I suppose he's been hoarding them."
"Oh."
"Yeah."

So... are we gonna go calmly talk to this Dragon guy or...
RE: The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea - Whimbrel - 04-10-2013
We could bring...a bribe?
RE: The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea - Infrared - 04-11-2013
Of course! Dragon is only his last name, he's actually just a regular fish.
RE: The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea - Crowstone - 04-11-2013
DRAGON :D
/me curls up comfortably in my nest

RE: The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea - Kitet - 04-17-2013

Sorry I update so infrequently, I really don't have a good reason for it.
I'm trying to make a schedule for myself but sometimes I get hung up on things.
