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.

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

I am not certain that I could.

[chalicejoker]

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

[naturaltwohands]

I wouldn't wish to keep you forever.

[chalicejoker]

It's fine.

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

[naturaltwohands]

[Drizzt chuckles.]

A break is always—did you see that?!

[Yes, a little cuttlefish suddenly comes out and nabs an even smaller fish.]

[chalicejoker]

Yeah, I did. Stuff like that happens a lot here.

Ryo does it all the time--he's a mantis shrimp. Punches things hard and fast enough that it generates heat and light.

[He sounds proud of the little guy.]

[naturaltwohands]

That's possible? That powerful? Without striking against rock?

[Hey at least he's enthusiastic about his questions.]

[chalicejoker]

I don't know how it works, but yeah. Watch.

[He signals to Ryo, and the mantis shrimp obligingly takes down a small crab. The punches do indeed produce small flashes of light.]

[naturaltwohands]

An impressive feat for such a small creature!

[Drizzt is seriously impressed.]

[chalicejoker]

He's pretty proud of himself.

[The mantis shrimp turns a little somersault to emphasize this.]

[naturaltwohands]

As would anyone! I cannot blame him.

[chalicejoker]

He can help with the fishing, if you need that up at the ship.

[naturaltwohands]

I'll certainly have to ask if we need the help. Such a talent should not be wasted!

[chalicejoker]

He'd be more than happy to help, definitely.

[naturaltwohands]

Then why not let him bring in a small amount? We could use it regardless, but we do not want to take too much from the land.

[chalicejoker]

We'll do that, then. He'll be excited.

[naturaltwohands]

I'm certain he will be. But now I must get back to my own duties. Thank you for showing me what I cannot see on my own, Hajime.

[chalicejoker]

No problem. We can do it again sometime, if we both have the time.

[naturaltwohands]

If we do, I look forward to it!
