[Hello, Vatheon! So I heard you liked sudden soaking wet people being confused at starfishes. Well, you're in luck, because here's some more of that!

Notably, she doesn't have even a single hair out of place and her makeup is still perfect despite being soaked to the bone. It's a princess thing. She doesn't even look all that confused or alarmed, she seems quite content here knelt on the floor of the plaza]

I wasn't quite expecting - well, whatever has happened. If anyone could offer an explanation, I would be very grateful.

...a change of clothes would probably be helpful, too.

[Because, unfortunately, most people aren't all that nice.]

Not currently.

I am Gale of the Embryon. If you wish to know more, I can assist.

It's nice to meet you, even if the circumstances are less than ideal.

What is expected of us, other than our participation in these experiments?

[Video]

[donotcomprehend]

Nothing is expected. We are left to our own devices. There are many activities which have sprung up among the foreigners in place of required tasks. However, there are many who have acquired jobs in order to ear Starfish Tokens, which allow for shopping in a special district known as the Nostalgia Nook.

Nothing is expected.

[She repeats that, slowly. Of all the things to take her a moment to absorb, it's the fact that all of a sudden, nobody is expecting her to do anything. That is something that she has never encountered once in her entire life.]

I see.

[It was strange to Gale, but he had his tribe to look after, and to think of. He was able to find busywork for himself easily enough.]

Is there anything else you would like to know about the city?

[dragongrass]

[She considers the question, looking up as she thinks.]

...are we really underwater?

[Video]

[donotcomprehend]

Yes. There is an elevator to an island up above, if you would not prefer to be here.

[dragongrass]

I see. But it's just to the surface of this place, and not home?

I should stay down here, then, I have... [Not family. She knows now that she can't say 'family'.] ...an ally from home here.

[Video]

[donotcomprehend]

No, it is not your home.

Staying with an ally will be beneficial. They can assist you in adjusting.

[Video]

[dragongrass]

I'm sure they will.

...do you have friends here?

[Video]

[donotcomprehend]

Yes. Some of my comrades were here before me, and others have arrived since.

[Video]

[dragongrass]

I'm glad. Nobody should have to deal with all of this alone.

There are few who have to. The natives and members of the welcoming committee are known to be of assistance.
