[soulofocean]

[Audio]

[There's a gurgle and a loud splash, then the unmistakable sound of water churning rapidly. Maybe some dripping in between. Umi's startled voice comes from seemingly underwater, loud but still far away.]

---on't know what's happening... This-! ...Everyone: stay away from the terrace, you hear me?? DON'T COME into the apartment if you ---

[ There's a white car hanging around near the terrace, btw. ]

[ blinks headlights ]

[ yep, still a car. ]

[ You'll really have to excuse him for being so useless right now. Not that he would have been much help in his platonic state, given the circumstances, but in this form running around in circles and flailing about seems less cathartic. ]

4/idk

[conductyourself]

[ At least this way if a lion shows up, you can get in him! ]

[pharles_at_life]

[Well, what do you do when you hear shouting? You try to figure out what's going on, right?]

2/? so then I got distracted for ten minutes.

[pharles_at_life]

[And you find out that whatever is going on is very... wet. Cue retreat back to Presea's room to dry off a little.]

[pharles_at_life]

[But okay. There seems to be...

An alarm going off?

Okay, investigation time.]

4/4 everyone was spamming I wanted to do it toooo

A DRAGON?

[That cannot be a dragon out there, can it? A dragon that looks just like Celes?]

[She runs to the terrace and looks out in surprise.]

[innocenthearted]

[Normally he'd ask if she's okay, but he's cursed making him seem a bit indifferent at the moment, since he's more Demon Lord like for the day]

...A dragon?

[lordofwaves]

[It's a dragon, Raenef. A blue one. That is oozing sea water as she stands on your half-demolished terrace looking fretful.

...Have a view of her landing back on the edge, past heavy static and from a weird angle. Roaring of waves is heard in the background.]

[innocenthearted]

...You're Umi?

[lordofwaves]

...Raenef?

Yeah, it's me! Believe it or not, jeez. Can you hear me too?

at the beach || open action;

[lordofwaves]

[For the sake of keeping the apartment in one piece and also because something inside her simply craved the proximity of the ocean, Umi decided the beach was a safe bet for spending the rest of this last curse.

She still isn't used to experiencing the world through Celes' magical senses, but the waves soothe her remarkably. She's sitting on the shore, letting the tide rush against her large dragon body and enjoying how she can feel each of them grow, rise, then guess the exact moment when they'll break.

Perhaps this isn't too bad. She shakes her head and whistles loudly, a musical sound like nothing she's ever heard before.

It actually feels a bit like herself.]

action

[notrlyjesus]

[Setsuna had been searching for sand in other places than the beach, but ended up there when he hit a dead end. There seemed to be no other sand than what was presented at the ocean side, as far as he could tell. If there was sand elsewhere, he missed it.

But, of course, he can't miss the impressive, beautiful blue dragon resting out on the sand.

Was this one of the monsters Cain had talked about?

He paused in his walk, then got into a defensive stance, only to remember he didn't have Nanatsusaya, let alone another sword. So much for being prepared. All he can do is glare at it, worriedly. He's known plenty of nice dragons, but there's no telling what kind this one is. Especially without Kurai around.]

action

[lordofwaves]

[Relaxed as she was, Umi never felt anyone approach until something -- maybe a change in the sea air: she's become very responsive to that sort of thing in this body -- told her she wasn't alone anymore.

She reacts with a start, still very much unused to the way her dragon form perceives her surroundings. Turning around in such large body causes for the waves softly breaking against her to go up in a big splash. So who is this guy...?

...No one she's ever met, far as she can tell. And look at him, all wary and defensive! Not that she can blame him, considering how she looks like right now. Her wings rise without her notice, probably dragon-y body language for alertness.]

Huh??

1/2 action

[notrlyjesus]

[When her wings go up, Setsuna's appear from his back in a rush of white feathers, the rest of him preparing for battle. He clearly took the raising of her wings to mean alertness, and a higher chance for attack.

Then there was noise. Decipherable noise.]

[everhoping]

Umi!

[lordofwaves]

R-Riou... Gosh, I feel stupid.

[everhoping]

What happened?

You're really a dragon?

[lordofwaves]

NO, I'M NOT!

My magic went crazy on me for whatever reason. And I ended up looking like this!
