So, two things.

Thing one: I found Raidou, and it turns out his overlay can't talk. Anyone know a form of sign language we can pass on so the poor guy can at least make himself heard? [So to speak.]

Thing two: Who all's got some Grid-fu at their disposal? We might be able to use that to find out something about our creepy nightly serenade, but I don't have any tricks that'd be halpful by themselves.

[Hajime's just...going to try very hard to ignore that pun. So, so hard.]

...yeah, I can help with that. They're small signs, probably not going to be too hard to do underwater.

... Water will certainly make signs harder to do, with the way water hampers movement.

[As if it just occurred to this silly boy that water might be a problem.]

It's definitely something to consider. Probably one reason they don't have too much in the way of signing as it is.

Indeed. Visible light penetrates less and less the deeper in the ocean you go. Infrared, which my people can see in when it is dark, is also useless in the water—not that they have the ability, at any rate.

It's really a difficult place to be unable to speak.

Yeah.

Hopefully we can get something for them. Something better than the little they have, anyway.

No, we will get something better for them. I will not give up easily in this task.

Hell of a better way to spend time instead of just floating here, yeah.

[There's a bit of wistful feeling to his mental voice.]

I would have loved to have been in your position.

The novelty of being underwater all the time starts to wear off pretty quick, believe me.

Unless you're Ryo.

[Drizzt is starting to realize that adults can be rather... boring at times.]

Perhaps for you, but I would find it endlessly fascinating. I barely know what any of the ocean's creatures look like! It must be absolutely fascinating. My greatest regret in passing the reefs is that I had to remain on the ship rather than find some way to be in the water. What little I could see seemed to be a beautiful sight indeed!

[Guess who's a ranger and therefore a nature nerd.

Go on.

Guess.]

You spend long enough out in the water like this, it just becomes more of the same.

[He actually switches on Sensory Livestreaming so Drizzt can see what he sees. There's a lot of water...and one mantis shrimp flitting around punching at fish.]

[Drizzt's excitement comes across the network fairly clearly.]

Oh, look at that! The fish!

[He's super excited about this ngl.]

[Hajime can tell, hence his keeping the stream open a bit longer.]

There are a lot down here.

[Just...going to turn away from the mantis shrimp happily devouring one of those fish in favor of some live fish now...]

Space and the ocean. I must visit both.

[It sounds almost breathless in awe, despite being on the network. You've absolutely just made his day with this.]

What do the reefs look like from under the water?

Like this.

[The feed starts moving a bit as Hajime swims out to one of the reefs.]

This is probably one of the livelier parts.

[Have a mental keysmash of UTTER. FUCKING. JOY. In fact, it takes several moments of incoherence before Drizzt can even think of a response.]

Oh!

[... Okay. That wasn't much of a response.]

[The feed starts moving a bit as Hajime swims through the reef.]

Just tell me which way you want me to go.

[Slowly the joy turns into awe:]

... To the left? You truly do not mind?

[He turns left.]

Nah. I'm not doing much right now, anyway.

It's absolutely breathtaking--literally! It is underwater, after all.

[DRIZZT NO.]

[Hajime is just...going to try to ignore that pun...]

Like I said, you do get used to it.

[But he's still broadcasting, still swimming.]

[It's for the best. Don't encourage him.]

I am not certain that I could.

Well, I can give you more of a taste for a little while here, anyway.

I wouldn't wish to keep you forever.

It's fine.

I could probably use a little bit of a break from things, anyway.
