Video/Action/You cannot hope to beat me in a delayed intro-off. I am simply the latest there is

[What's that scuttling around the Plaza? Why, it is the most neurotic little crab you have ever seen! Everything is terrifying and worthy of making high-pitched noises followed by attempts to hide somewhere. Even bumping into his own starfish communicator! But upon realizing this last thing was his fault, he rubs his back end, gathers some of his ~~pretend~~ dignity, and mutters with a heavy Jamaican accent.]

Dis is what happens when humans steal some of de sea. Riff raff and gadgets and dings all over de place! I've got to find dat girl and drag her home by de fins.

[Or is it ankle? Eh, details. Wait, what is this thing doing? It's making noises and light and... stuff. Maybe he should tap it and see what happens?]

[SEBASTIAN IS SUSPICIOUS and only partly because he has no idea what that means. But by golly, he is going to act like he does!]

Of course. I knew dat.

Shore you did. I'm Feferi, by the way, and this is Vatheon! Welcome!

[Oh she has manners. He likes manners. And respect. Respect is good too. Puffing out his chest a little.]

I am Horatio Thelonious Ignacious Crustaceous Sebastian, royal composer and aide to King Triton of Atlantica and I...

[AM LOST]

...seem to have lost my way. Somehow.

[He has no idea how because obviously it doesn't happen often.]

[ Polite, respectful... riiiight. She has to stifle a laugh. ]

No, you haven't lost anything at all. You were brought here!

I was? I don't remember dat.

[Why doesn't he remember dat.]

Of course not, because it's magic. But don't worry, you're safe, and so is everyone you know. Or at least as safe as they were when you last saw them.

I don't like de sound of dat.

[It sounds like human stuff. He does not like human stuff.]

Well, uh. Too bad?? You're kind of stuck here. You can go up to the island and try to swim out, but I've gone as far as we're allowed to and couldn't find a way out!

Now you look here girl, dat's no way to talk to your elders! And dat sounds dangerous, too!

[Kind of reminds him of another princess, actually. Another reckless, refuses-to-listen-to-reason princess...]
