LOBBYQUEST - PARTY 2

[idolpro]

Once you enter the door, you find yourself passing through, uh -



This front yard? It seems you've found yourself in some sort of dolphin mansion.

Also, a dolphin statuette falls from the sky and into each of your hands.

GET EQUIPPED WITH:

Dolphin Statuette

Over time, most things fade away. Isn't that right?

It's a dolphin statuette. If you rub it, you can hear the sound of the ocean. If you crouch with it for a few seconds and think of 💕That Person💕 , you'll find yourself atop a dolphin that comes splashing out of the water below (even when there isn't water below?) which will propel you forward five feet at the speed of dolphin before splashing back into the sea. You probably could've just walked that far in the time it takes to use this and got less wet, but this is way cooler.

🐬Charge!!!🐬

I definitely prefer horses.

Re: BACKYARD

[proceedwithcautus]

[ POWERRRRRRR ]

It's at least a little fun, even if I don't know what these are, exactly...

Re: BACKYARD

[constellationprize]

[ wah ]

It's a type of marine animal called a dolphin...

[ petting the statuette

petting the scorpions ]

Re: BACKYARD

[proceedwithcautus]

[ wh,

let's not ask. ]

I'm not used to sea creatures being so friendly...

Re: BACKYARD

[constellationprize]

Is that so?

Re: BACKYARD

[proceedwithcautus]

Mm! I think most people don't really go near the ocean, where I'm from, or at least...

...well, I get the impression it's kind of like that game they held here...

Re: BACKYARD

[constellationprize]

... What do you mean?

Re: BACKYARD

[worthathousand]

Some sort of... small whale, I think? Not a fish, exactly.

[ Tsubaki Province is landlocked,, ]

Re: BACKYARD

[proceedwithcautus]

They seem a little too joyful to be terrorfish...

...not that I've ever seen a terrorfish, I think?

Re: BACKYARD

[worthathousand]

—Oh, or I suppose they're called "dolphins," then.

But what is a terrorfish? A sort of sea demon?

Re: BACKYARD

[proceedwithcautus]

They're what live in the ocean, I think? But—

...where do we go on these...?

Re: BACKYARD

[worthathousand]

....Are you from the same world as Chivalry, perchance?

[ a pause ]

—But, ah. I'd say we could use them to cross the water, except that's nothing we can't achieve simply by walking around.

We could try... using the ULTIMATE PARTY DRINK? Pouring just a bit into the water.

Re: BACKYARD

[proceedwithcautus]

Oh! You could ask Miss Aradia; she has most of it, I think.

But yes! Miss Luminosity and I come from countries near to each other.

Re: BACKYARD

[worthathousand]

Well, I didn't drink my entire share—

[ Alright let's try to summon this boss fight again.
> use ULTIMATE PARTY DRINK on SWIMMING POOL

She pours in about a shot glass' worth. ]

That's wonderful that you and she have found each other, in that case. I've found it a great comfort in this place, to meet others also from Creation.

Re: BACKYARD

[proceedwithcautus]

There's also Miss Felicity from future is now, and—even if it's nice to be able to get to know people from very different places, too, you're right that it's comforting to, ah... share a concept of how things work, at least with some people.

I gather things where I'm from seem a little strange, to a lot of people. Or at least are a little novel? People comment on the ears a lot.

somehow I entirely missed this thread?

[onemoreknight]

Miss Eirene! Almost everyone here is from places where the sea is traversible and "fish" are things you eat!

Everybody thought I was weird during the submersible vehicle game!

Re: somehow I entirely missed this thread?

[proceedwithcautus]

...really...

...I was wondering why everyone was so casual about going deeper in the submersible!

Re: somehow I entirely missed this thread?

[onemoreknight]

Captain Sho purchased an "aquarium" for our dormitory after that, which is like a "zoo" but for things that come from the sea. Apparently it's supposed to be a fun time for families.

Re: somehow I entirely missed this thread?

[proceedwithcautus]

...oh...

...I guess, since it seems like things are very different where certain people come from... they're probably quite harmless...



...the ocean still seems like it's dangerous, though.

Re: BACKYARD

[constellationprize]

Yes, that's right. Those sorts of bodies are mammals, like these.

Re: BACKYARD

[worthathousand]

I see! I've only ever seen rivers in person, in my own world.

Is your homeland close to the sea?

Re: BACKYARD

[constellationprize]

Mine ... Ah, there was a river -

[ her expression clouds over at the mention, only briefly ]

- And the university that I remembered attending was on the shore of a lake - the country was an island, but I haven't remembered seeing the sea yet...

Re: BACKYARD

[worthathousand]

But you were still able to learn about it...

[ a little surprised, impressed in part by the kinds of resources that might take ]

I hadn't realized we had that in common, though—being from riverlands.

Re: BACKYARD

[constellationprize]

Oh, well - . . .

For me, I lived farther away, in the forest, and the university wasn't very close to it either, I think, but the city was really close to the river . . . but the manor's library had a lot of different books in it, so I was able to learn a lot.
