[Softly:] So many kidnappings... [Sharper now, a little worried:] Yuna, you are well?

[Lulu's not the only one out in the rain, it seems. There's a sea goddess wandering nearby, no doubt taking advantage of being able to move after being stuck in one spot all week.]

[andallaretrue]

Dere are none here from my world.

[And yet, this doesn't really seem to bother her...]

[thriceshielded]

[Normally she'd offer condolences, but this woman doesn't seem to be bothered.]

...I am Lulu.

You may call me Tia Dalma.

[thriceshielded]

[thriceshielded]

It is a life of changes. De sea is hardly tame. But dere is an enjoyment to be found dere.
