The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea

Uhhhhh... Tolu, have you met Mermaid recently? Orrrr... do you know where she hangs out when she's in Topia?

"huh? oh no i haven't. but i think she is probably at the fountain in the middle of town."

Well, let's check there, then.


As you walk through town, you can't help but feel Tolu's presence is the only thing keeping Pan safe right now.
Some people are starting to follow you down the street.
Pan just keeps walking.


You see Mermaid at the fountain, talking to Fairy. They don't notice you arrive. You wonder what they might have been talking about while waiting for you.


"hey---"


"hey fairy! hey mermaid! you wanna help us with something?"
"Wha- Hi guys, what's up? What do you neeee..."


"... Oh. Hi, Alex. Is this a friend of yours?"

Sure, let's go with that. His name is Pan and he wants to be a regular citizen. Do you think you could help him with it?

"Uh. Probably? I don't... really... know..."

"IF I WANTED TO EAT HER, I WOULDN'T HAVE LET HER RIDE ME INTO TOWN FIRST
YOU HAVE NO NEED TO WORRY"

"Well then. Pan, was it? Let's see what I can do for you."
.
.
.
Mermaid floats over and mutters to you.
"Um, Demon? Alex? Why did you need to ride him into town?"

Because you don't have legs anymore???

"... Oh. I can teach you how to move on land later, if you want."
