Is this on?

[The SFC's screen shows a gallant-looking woman, studying the camera rather sternly. Once she realizes that it's working properly, she moves the camera a bit farther away and begins to speak:]

I... must apologize for my actions the other day. I just found myself here so suddenly, so I assumed... [that she was kidnapped. So she ended up attacking some people based on those assumptions. She glances away from the camera, blushing furiously out of embarrassment.] I'm... really sorry. I promise to atone for what I've done to the best of my abilities.

[Okay, apology over. She clears her throat and puts her gaze back on the camera.]

Now that I have settled that, I suppose it's time that I introduce myself. I am Chloe Valens, a knight from the Holy Empire of Gadoria. [Not that it matters.] I make it my duty to help anyone in need, so if you require assistance, please do not hesitate to ask.

Though, if it is not any trouble... I must ask if anyone knows of any good relaxation techniques. I'm rather uncomfortable with an ocean being above my head, so I'd like to know if there is an effective way to calm one's nerves.

[She's quick to sternly add:]

A-And I'm sure many other people have this sort of problem, not just me! I figured it would be good to ask publicly because it should be beneficial information to everyone!

video It's okay!

Sandy. So there's land.

[PRAISE THE LORD SHE IS HEALED. Though she'd do without the beach, some land is better than no land.]

Though, if there's an island, why make an underwater city in the first place?

Well, from what I remember the island wasn't always there or something. And the locals really like that coral, so...

[swimdere]

Wouldn't the problem of the barrier breaking and having to worship the coral be solved if they slowly transitioned to living on land?

[Sigh. Well, it's not like this guy has answers.]

I apologize... It's just, I can't seem to understand the logic of the natives.

Hey, it's okay! I don't really understand what's going through their heads either. I mean, you'd think you might wanna move from a place that gets stuff like sea monster attacks, right? At least I would...

[ he really has problems keeping his mouth shut. ]

[swimdere]

Well, sea monsters I can handle...

[Just not the sea itself... sob... Wouldn't it be nice if they could just beach themselves or something when they attack...]

I suppose it's all just a matter of stubbornness on their part.

[raincoats]

Yeah, that sounds about right. They're probably fanatics of some kind and that's always dangerous. I wonder if the curses we get here are because of them too, now that I think about it... Maybe this is all because of some weird kind of— agh, what's the word..? Underwater voodoo?

[ THAT DOESN'T SOUND TOO RIDICULOUS, RIGHT.. ]

video

[swimdere]

Oh, right. I've heard of those curses.

[HMMMMMMM...]

Maybe it's happening because they're doing something the coral doesn't like? They're not very good worshippers if that's the case...
