August 2021 - Stuck in the Nets

Stuck in the Nets

The strange whispers at night have persisted throughout the month of August, only growing stronger with time. Whatever is out there, it's searching for something. Or perhaps someone?

But that is a secondary worry today. The biggest problem on hand is that something large appears to have gotten caught in one of the sea nets. It's hard to tell what it is at a distance, but it's trashing about and getting tangled up in the lines. Something needs to be done about this before the creature destroys too much of the netting.

But also, Otherworlders should move cautiously. As they go to investigate, they'll find that the air is still and lacks the ambient sounds usually found in nature. There are no bird calls, no buzzing insects, nothing. Just the sounds of splashing.

Okay. [She rubs the back of her head.] I know it's a lot to get used to. I made a lot of mistakes when I started out... and broke almost everything I touched... and crashed into the cafeteria on my first day of school.

[He smiles faintly behind his gaiter.]

Trust me... I know a lot... about getting used to... strange new things. I hope the cafeteria thing... didn't hurt too much...

[maidofmistakes]

It actually hurt the building more than it hurt me. I felt really bad about it, though.

[ghoulserrand]

[That makes him laugh.]

Better than building... than you...

[He glances back at the water.]

Let's make sure... you stay intact... We'll meet here... alright?

[maidofmistakes]

Got it. I won't get too close. Don't worry.

[And she won't! But she'll get yelled at anyway.]
