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.

[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.

[Drizzt chuckles.]

A break is always—did you see that?!

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

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.]

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

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

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.]

An impressive feat for such a small creature!

[Drizzt is seriously impressed.]

He's pretty proud of himself.

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

As would anyone! I cannot blame him.

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

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

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

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.
