[It's obvious the message is supposed to be on a private channel, but this time Jean is too panicked to actually focus on something like that. He will feel bad for pulling a Jules later.]

Eren! I found Mikasa. Well sort of she's--

[There's a very abrupt pause in his words before he continues with a faster, much more panicked speed.]

Help, I think she's about to- I think she's...



[ooc: what is going on, but your character is free to guess what it is that Mikasa's doing.]

Check-in! (Check fin?)

[thornsofmalkav]

Okay. Uh. Wow. I did not expect to be Investigating as a mermaid. Selkie. Finvestigating. You know.

I also did not expect to get all kinds of shiny mermaid knowledge dumped in my head the moment I ended up in the water, but that seems to have happened anyway. So if anyone wants to know anything about that shit, please do ask me. The most important thing is that the Thalassian Mermaid Queen, the Dread Empress or whatever, is as scary as fuck and our cover story should probably be that we ran away from her empire because we didn’t want to become cannibal berserkers. Which are a thing. Oh my god.

Anyway, it looks like we’re in the world with the Labyrinthine Shoals? Like, that’s evidently where we are. We’re in the Shoals. And I guess we’re mermaids? Some of us? Can anyone chime in to tell me if there’s anyone around who’s not a mermaid.

Actually, maybe we should make this a general check-in with, like, name and species. I’ll go first: this is Thorne and it looks like I’m a California sea lion selkie.

Who's Steering this Boat?

[naturaltwohands]

Thorne is seeing to who is still themselves, but there is a pressing matter for those of us aboard the Cornu since we have enough food and water to last for some time as well as some amount of weaponry.

Who here besides myself has experience sailing, and who will be at the helm? And to where should we go?

((OOC: you can see the details of what the ship holds here))
