[Video/Text] 06 Feathers

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

[The video isn't his fault. His SFC falls onto the floor and starts recording. There's only a flash of an orange wing and some orange ghost tail before...nothing. Just blue sky up on the island.

There's a long pause, as if the person is in a state of disbelief.]

Shit.

[He says this almost conversationally before an orange hand with deadly-looking nails reaches down, and turns off the feed.

A few hours later, the following messages are made:]

well

who the hell is she

[Private: Bro Strider and Dirk Strider]

[He's uncharacteristically curt about this.]

[What.

What is this.

What is this bullshit.]

[A pause, then more text.]

the city getting crushed in a tidal wave because the barriers wrecked is a legit excuse for not showing. but were not there yet.

THAT WOMAN IN BLUE IS THALASSINO.
SHE'S THE HIGH PRIESTESS OF THE LOCAL RELIGION DEVOTED TO THE CORAL
THOUGH THE CHURCH HAS LONG SINCE BEEN DESTROYED, AND SHE APPEARS PRETTY SCARCELY.
THAT "SORS" SHE AND THE NURSE WERE TALKING ABOUT IS SOME KIND OF GAS, I THINK, IF I'M CORRECTLY INTERPRETING THESE PAPERS I FOUND WHEN WE FIRST GOT ACCESS TO THE ISLAND.
WHAT EXACTLY MAKES IT SO IMPORTANT I HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE ABOUT.
OBVIOUSLY THALASSINO HAS SOME KIND OF INVOLVEMENT WITH THE SCIENTISTS, WHO I THINK WANTED THE NATIVES TO WORSHIP THE CORAL?
THE PAPERS SAID THEY STARTED DOING THAT ON THEIR OWN, SO WHATEVER.
I DON'T KNOW IF THALASSINO IS FULLY ON THEIR SIDE, THOUGH, CONSIDERING THERE WAS A LENGTH OF TIME WHERE SHE JUST UP AND DISAPPEARED AND THEY COULDN'T FIND HER, AGAIN ACCORDING TO THE PAPERS, WHICH WERE FOUND BEFORE SHE SHOWED UP AGAIN.

No clue, I have never seen her before.
But I think something bad is happening, everyone was warned to go up on the island.

[What.

Dirk's first instinct is that this is related to the curse that just happened, that blowing Davesprite off just drove him away completely.]

Don't have to.
The curse is over.
