[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?]

Whoa! Sorry about that, pal.

The name's Mickey Mouse.

[He kneels down to... well, not be eye-level, but close enough.]

What's yer name?

[ashellfishman]

[Well, kneeling down to Sebastian is a little much. He's a great crab and all but that's kind of embarrassing...]

[takesyoubytheheart]

Nice ta meetcha, Sebastian. Are ya a new arrival?

Well... I hate ta be the one ta tell ya this... but yer a long way from Atlantica. Think of it as... a forced vacation, cause we're not sure when we can get back.

[ashellfishman]

[Thoughtful pause.]

I could use a vacation....

action

[takesyoubytheheart]

C'mon, how about I show ya around?

[He offers his hand for the crab to climb on.]
