> Wake up, again

[bathymetric]

[Whether you've met an unfortunately end on the SS Swift, or deep in the depths, wrapped in the crushing tentacles of the kraken... You're not there anymore. You also don't seem to be dead. Maybe. It's difficult to tell, seeing as you no longer have any of the injuries you sustained on the ship... But you're also no longer on the ship.

Your eyes awaken to a cloudless sky, and a dry, dry, desert. A weak breeze struggles to blow even the dust from the cracked earth. There isn't a drop of water for miles around.

But what is around... is a ship. About a dozen yards away from where you've awoken is a tall, two-mast galleon, beached on the wastes, listing to the right.

How did it get here? Who knows. How did YOU get here?

Might be questions for a later time, seeing as you're waking up with your murderer.

Welcome to the Locker.]

Yeah, I can do a lot more flying and blasting than not.

[oceangirlfriend]

I could do a lot more underwater with my alterations at full power, too.

[dokkalfheimr]

I...have another form that can be used to do a fair amount of magic-based damage, if needed.

[...Yeah.]

[silentscout]

I can keep the kraken busy.

[Lalli, facing his sea monster PTSD for the sake of helping everyone.]

But only with my powers.

[sharddrive]

Hm, good point-

[A follow-up question, to Calypso-]

Think Davy'd sic the Kraken on us, once things start going down?

[thekeyofsea]

I doubt he would risk his pet, especially if his heart is not in the fight.

[ A beat. ]

So to speak.

[oceangirlfriend]

Well, at least that's one less thing to worry about.

[conceivesfrenzy]

[ Oh! That gives her an idea. ]

You wouldn't actually know where it is, do you? I'd think that'd be a quicker way of dispatching the second problem.

[ ........ she means just not having it under LeChuck's control. Honest. ]

[oceangirlfriend]

...right. I do have powers that might allow me to prevent the kraken from attacking altogether. Though I'm uncertain how well they'll actually work in this situation.

[conceivesfrenzy]

[ She's quiet for a bit, but finally chimes in: ]

As much I hate to say it, I'm a lot more useful with my spells and healing artes than without. Someone here has to make sure none of you boneheads die for real and screw this all up.

[ There's a reason why her and Decus' boss fight is a pain in the ass casually! ]
