o98; a hair-raising experience

[roseblooms]

Well that was a shocker. I suppose there's no point in filtering anything if that thing is everywhere.

Has anyone else spoken to it? Or did it speak to anyone besides myself? It seemed to recognize me as well as my blood apparently. This has gone on for so long that I'm worried this is a lot more serious than we expect it to be

I saw it, but it didn't speak to me. What is that thing?

[roseblooms]

You saw it? What did it look like to you?

[primrosella]

Just a glimpse, for a second--it was hideous, and it looked like it was screaming...

[roseblooms]

That's close to what I sensed. There wasn't a firm image to it.

I have a bad feeling.

[primrosella]

No...I don't like this at all.

I've heard that these--whatever these things are--they've been here before.

[roseblooms]

They have, but I wonder if--

O-ow...

[primrosella]

Megumi!

[roseblooms]

It's alright, it's--

[ Her breaths are shaky, shallow. ]

It was a shock.

voice;

[primrosella]

Goodness, what happened? It didn't get you, did it? Are you all right?

voice;

[roseblooms]

No, no, there was... Hang on.

Alright. Ah. Something just came out of the ocean. It... it gave off such a heavy feeling of energy that it hit me when I wasn't prepared. I'm guarded now.

[primrosella]

Out of the ocean? Another monster? More trouble we didn't need...

voice;

[roseblooms]

We might not, but the City thrives on this chaos, remember?

voice;

[primrosella]

In exchange for leaving our families alive...

Always to keep the clock running. Of course.

[roseblooms]

It seems as though the creature from the ocean only wants her son back. I'm not sure how she expects us to draw her son out.

voice;

[primrosella]

She told me the same. Its name is...Adrastus, I think?

...Everyone's been saying on the Network that it likes lemon cakes and dislikes...some sort of music? I can't help but wonder if there's some way we could lure him out that way.

voice;

[roseblooms]

That's what we're trying to figure out. I can't seem to trace him at all though, so that's pointless.

I wonder if telling him his mother is here will help...
