KAIJU FIGHT #1

CONTENT WARNINGS: thalassophobia, natural disaster, drowning, body horror, violence, blood & gore.

▶ 001. SEAS THE DAY.

On the morning of the 1st, sirens will blare, forcing every Outsider and Neo Tokyo civilian awake. While it hasn't been activated for a while, every citizen within the city knows this alarm all too well - it wails through the city whenever a Kaiju has been detected, ordering everyone to return to their homes immediately and stay there until they receive further information. Outsiders gazing at Neo Tokyo will see the armored city in its full technological splendour for the first time today. Once the civilians have returned to their homes, machinery within the buildings will work like clockwork, sinking each and every LILITH-augmented building beneath the ground. Just in time, too, because the waves are starting to roar again, crashing beyond the shore and flooding the city once more. Observant Outsiders may note that not every building has been modified. The older ones remain standing, vulnerable to the impending flood. Does anyone live in those buildings? The answer is yes, but that's not a priority at the moment.

Every Outsider will receive a summon, ordering them to prepare for battle. The Kaiju has been identified and located. It's show time.

"Angels of LILITH. We have located the Kaiju coming from beyond the sea. A full mission brief including the information we have gathered will be sent to you immediately. For now, make your way to the bay where your transport will be waiting. Be prepared for anything, but mostly, be prepared to swim."

Waiting for the Outsiders at the bay appear to be ... expensive-looking, personal yachts? This has to be a mistake, right? It's no mistake. Through intel LILITH has exchanged with international companies, it appears that this particular Kaiju has a fondness for overturning civilian yachts, and there's no better way to attract it than to leave it its favourite bait. The goal is to attract these Kaiju towards the boats and then attacking.

The ships may look like they're outfitted for a fancy yacht party. In fact, some exploring down below deck in the lounging room, one may find caviar on fancy ritz, oyster tower, little finger sandwiches with the crusts cut off and bougie smelly cheese that nobody in LILITH's pay grade can identify. On another table, there is fancy ramen spoons filled with microgreens, crystal jelly vinegarette, and a thin slice of parmesan cheese. Some further looking may find some fine aged wine, but you're not here to drink and party, you're here to fight a Kaiju! Right? Right.

Despite the fact everything about these yachts just look like... fancy yachts... they are actual warships that are mounted with naval artillery such as swivel guns, missiles and torpedos. Spears, harpoon guns and fishing nets can also be found and used if an Outsider is more comfortable getting extremely close to the monsters. There's no time for a proper seafaring course, so Outsiders will be given a quick run down on how the controls work, and be sent on their way. They will also be given a special jewel-like implant that attaches to the skin, right along the forehead, and told to wear it if they need to go into the water. "Don't worry about it," the LILITH crew says. "But it'll be one hell of a ride if you use it."

Alongside the crew, Seok Dang seems to be also assisting (?) though he's gotten a hold of the reception food down below. Did he smell like fine wine? Possibly. But that's definitely a fancy, half eaten cracker in his hand. He's also got on a bright, neon life preserver. Maybe someone doesn't know how to swim.

"WHOOO HELLA YEAH, MOTHERFUCKERS. Don't know how to swim? Don't'cha worry. Daddy Dang has got you covered. I know CPR! I give the best CPR! 💖 I'll rescue ya. TONIGHT, WE BALL!"

Nobody uses that phrase anymore, but you know what? You do you, SD.

▶ 002. WHALE WATCHING.

Minutes into their ship's course, the boats will rock violently, as if those already violent waves have somehow come alive. There is something in the water! The mission brief would have been shared with them sometime during their trip, but maybe Outsiders want to pull up on their implant the image and debrief shared once again now that there is some action. The orca-like Kaiju trying to reach the shores of Neo Tokyo is called Shachimon, and she's been the cause of the violent waves and flooding we've seen for the past few weeks. Alongside of her and are her children orca who love to mimic everything their mother does. The biggest one, the matriarch of the pod, is over 60 meters in length - large enough to swallow a boat whole. The younger ones are smaller but just as ferocious, spanning from the size of a car to the size of a bus. The youngsters are a size small enough that they can leap out of the water, sometimes crashing down onto people and ships. Beware!

Shachimon will be fighting to knock over boats, or climbing on boats with their amphibious legs. Once they get their hands on humans or Outsiders, they pull them into the water, tearing them limb from limb to feed. Their control over the waves are no joke, either. With a powerful swing of their tail, they can conjure up tsunamis capable of overturning ships. The matriarch, if left to her own devices, seems bent on submerging Neo Tokyo to make food of all its citizens.

█ █ █ MONSTER DEBRIEF SHEET
NAME: Shachimon
HEIGHT: Younger whales are 4 - 18 metres. The matriarch is 60 meters in length.
WEIGHT: 1500kg - 5000kg
CLASS: Highly dangerous.
LOCATION: Large bodies of water
ABILITIES: Use of sonar to detect any water movement. Fast swimmer. Very sturdy body thanks to all that whale blubber. High intelligence - commonly works together as a pod to take down prey. Capable of creating tsunamis that overturn boats. The largest Shachimon can sink a city if not stopped.
WEAKNESS: Electricity (since it will be inside water), dissection, spearing its eyes or blowhole. Loud vibrations within the water can stun or confuse it.
EXTRA NOTES: Dislikes and will attempt to overturn civilian yachts. Carnivorous, eating marine life and human flesh. Sadistic personality, may play with their food prior to eating.

█ █ █ MISSION OBJECTIVE:
✖ Lead the Shachimon away from the shore.
✖ Extermination of Shachimon in the water and if they reach the shore.
✖ Protection of nearby fishermen's boats and civilians within those boats.
✖ Teamwork to destroy the matriach Shachimon.
✖ Bring back specimens (live or deceased) for research purposes.

█ █ █ ATTACHED PHOTO:

As a note, Outsiders who wish to remain on land and help civilians there may do so. There are waves flooding the city, and some of the smaller, quicker Shachimon will have made it to shore. They will need to be taken care of before they can terrorise the city.

▶ 003. OCEAN GEMS.

Shachimon are most deadly in the water and their go-to strategy is to pull others into their turf, where they have the advantage. That's where those jewel-like implants come in. These implants, called OCEAN GEMS, when attached to the skin, temporarily modify the body. Once activated, nanobots will invade the bloodstream and alter the user's lungs, giving them a set of breathable gills. Their legs will also be altered, giving them fins and the tail of a fish. This is a recent invention by LILITH ever since the first Shachimon was spotted a few years ago, and the technology is still experimental. This means that the transformation process will be significantly uncomfortable, feeling a bit like being asphyxiated and having your legs sewn together at the same time. Deactivating the gem and turning back feels just as uncomfortable, and being experimental technology, it can take a while before the user can successfully revert back. Those who want to fight in the water and lack any weapons or abilities that can be used can request Seok Dang for a weapon. There's a limited supply, but they will be given a special trident. Directly driving the spear into one of the kaiju will electrocute it, giving a higher chance for higher damage. These tridents will be handed out to those who want to use their Ocean Gem and ask.

It's up to Outsiders whether they want to use this new technology or not. Being able to fight the monsters on their own terrain is certainly an advantage, so LILITH would highly encourage it.

▶ 004. MEDICAL BAY.

Healers and those with medical experience will be placed on the warship with a red flag on it. Dr. Spim & Alex will also be present on this ship to assist any major injuries to both LILITH and civilian fisherman alike. This ship is bigger than the others, and while stocked up with the same artillery, it is also stocked with beds and medical supplies. This will be the Outsider's naval medical bay during the siege on the Shachimon and all injured Outsiders or civilians will need to be transported there. This ship will also need to be protected heavily, because once the Shachimon catch on that all the injured, vulnerable prey are being transported to the larger ship, they will start to target that ship in particular. Characters that need immediate medical help should be transported to this ship via a dataportal. Each yacht has a dataportal that can teleport anyone instantly to the medical ship. The dataportals are also located down below deck to prevent them from getting damaged.

▶ 005. THE CALM AFTER THE STORM.

It's a bloody, soggy and gruesome battle and the seas' waves begin to calm down, the sea filled with kaiju carcasses. LILITH's clean up crew is working hastily to collect these corpses, but with the Outsiders' occupied and recovering from their fresh battle, help is limited. Search and rescue scavenges the sea to find any civilians who didn't make it or may need medical help. Meanwhile, the valiant teamwork and effort has paid off. After many hits from many different weapons, artillery, natural abilities, etc. the matriarch kaiju has been downed and sank to the bottom of the ocean floor. LILITH's team will work to retrieve the massive carcass, though it will take awhile. Those who put in notable effort will receive praise and a little extra payout. Outsiders will see an instant transfer of funds to their account: 340,000,000 KRYPTOS. This is roughly about 2500 USD.

The intense battle will have lasted several days and Outsiders are free to go from land to sea as little or as often as they like. It is all over, though, and Outsiders will be called to return to the MAIN BASE for rest and recovery. LILITH will also be searching for the rift where the kaiju came from while Outsiders recover. A message from an unknown voice will pop up an hour or so after all Outsiders have returned to the MAIN BASE. Outsiders may use this time to socialize in a commons area, wash up in the showers, get a meal in the cafeteria or rest.

"Good work."

▶ 006. AFTERWORD.

Welcome to our first Kaiju log! All prompts are highly encouraged but OOCly optional. ICly, characters can choose to fight in the ocean, on the ships or stay behind on land and protect the city. At the end of the siege, characters who accepted an Ocean Gem will be asked to return it. It's experimental technology, so LILITH will need to do more tweaking before they can properly release it. Outsiders who use the gem may have whatever fish tail they like, as long as it is a sea creature.

Feel free to NPC your characters' fights with the smaller kaijus. The main fight with the Shachimon matriarch will be determined via a HP-based system (See below).

Please note that all tags in this log count for 2 reward points each. Ask any further questions below!

[ Yuji accepts it.

Bakugo is a little bit like some of the other people he's met in his time - a little like Kugisaki, a little bit like Maki-senpai when she gets really mad, as strong as Yuji himself is but with a coarse shout to match it. He likes him, likes to be around him, and the idea of Bakugo staying hurt because he thinks it would make things easier has his heart aching a little too much for him to handle; it's too alike to his own thoughts, and he knows he'll get shouted at if he said it aloud.

His leg twitches again, just a little, and he sighs softly. ]

You don't have to talk about him if you don't want to. I know it's hard sometimes.

[ If he had to go into depth about his own complicated feelings regarding the people he's closest too, so he's definitely not going to make any demands of the other guy right now. With how tired he is, the aches in his body echoing the emotional aches, it'll just end up with the two of them getting frustrated with one another and maybe saying something they don't mean.

What Yuji does instead is smile, nudging Bakugo gently. ]

... I know I was angry at first, but thanks for talking to the others for me. In the end, it was probably a good thing for all of us. I'm trying to be more careful now, did you see?

[ He's not running off into the fight again! ]

[likemybooks]

Well. [Taryon hasn't really thought about the implants beyond the fascination with technology that won't be developed for over 1000 years in his world. Sure, LILITH stuck something in his eye, but Taryon figures it's for the greater good, to blend in with the locals. He wants to give the benefit of doubt to the organization that's keeping these monsters from killing what's left of humanity.] That's...really how wars work all over. But there's also small-time inventors who would love this.

Like me. [He doesn't have his tools on him - what he bought in Neo Tokyo is in his room, what he used in battle is left in his home dimension. So, all he does is point a thumb at himself.] I built my own robot, and I assure you, the only testing done was people and monsters beating on him. It was very advanced, in my world, that is, and I spent a lot of quality time learning and building.

[His voice gains a bit of offense - no, staying in this room and tinkering is a worthy hobby and not a waste of his life.]

[the_fourteenth]

[He looks relieved.]

Good. People at school try to talk to me about movies or games all the time, and...

[He shakes his head with a sigh.]

They think I'm a country bumpkin. Whatever works, I suppose.

[Well they're not completely wrong there, though.]

[blastedass]

[Bakugo grins at the sight in front of him. With the first monster twitching and writhing under Raidou's shock, the other one chasing Bakugo not slowing down at all, it makes for an excellent opportunity to snap off an explosion, blitz past the first one, crash his trident into Raidou's to dislodge it and tackle the guy out of the way right as the two creature collide with each other. Amid the buzzing current of course.

As the water swirls around the, Bakugo rights himself, releasing the other boy with a quick stick of his trident out behind Raidou to keep him from going too far.]

Let them fight each other or a damn second.

[blastedass]

[Likewise, Yuji reminds Bakugo of a few people from home. Most obviously Midoriya. The same heroic drive coupling with an insane brain that takes self-sacrifice to a maniac level. But he's friendly and cheerful like Kirishima, brightening up the room, though seems to carry a lot of baggage like Todoroki he doesn't want to talk about. In that way, he's similar to Bakugou himself, wanting to handle his shortcomings and weakness on his own without getting others involved. Perhaps it's all of that which makes Yuji "easy" to stay around. In the same way his not!friends from home drive him up the damn wall while still managing to hang around the explosive blonde without dying. Permanently.]

Tch. Don't need your permission. [Thanks for pointing out the obvious, Yuji. Yet as they sit here in the quiet, trying to do that resting healing thing, Bakugo honestly takes to account Yuji's smiling admission. Of course he'd been mad he got ratted out, but now he's thanking him, and admitting that was a good call. Heh. What a victory for Blasty McSplode over here. It gets a smug, grumpy snort from the winner as he settles a little more against Yuji's shoulder.] Yeah, I noticed.

[Both of them are sitting here, taking a time out to rest even while there's a war raging outside. It's rather foolish looking in from the outside, but not being reckless idiots and getting themselves more damaged is the better idea. They can trade a few minutes of downtime here to avoid having a lot longer time recovering from something worse later.]

He's my classmate. I grew up with him. He's got the same damn reckless streak you do, always focusing on how he can save and protect people, no matter what it costs him. [There's a hell of a lot more to this story, but that's not for this moment to divulge. If ever.] But he's grown into an amazing hero despite so much shit being against him. Though it took the rest of the class to beat it into his thick head he didn't have to go that path alone.

[thundercrashes]

[rip to those poor bozos indeed]

Yeah. Or at least see if there's anything in here easy enough to try to cook while in this state, like rice or something...

[It's hard to screw up rice, even for someone like him with little cooking experience even dealing with tentacles to potentially make it harder... right? Or at least that's the hope.]

[the_fourteenth]

[It all happens in seconds, but thankfully, Raidou is fast enough to keep up. He's just happy to have been able to keep a hand on his own trident.

He gives his head a shake to clear it from the sudden flurry of action, floating upright now next to Bakugo to watch the spectacle. Two furious, blinded, electric-shocked and bleeding orca kaiju flailing wildly in the churning water. Absolutely wild.

He gives it a few moments, but there isn't much time to waste. He holds up his weapon at the ready.]

Let's end this.

[Raidou uses the opportunity to get up near the head of one of the two kaiju, and hangs on as it senses he's there and tries to buck him off. He has to hold on by sticking the trident in superficially into its skin, so he can get up near the blowhole for the killing blow. He has to wait for just the right break in the monster's thrashing to be able to pull it off.]

[sparse]

[ The flicker of surprise is to be expected at this point. If anything, he'd be the type to never show up to something like this to begin with, but he's here now. Might as well get something to eat while he's at it.

He's cutting up some green onions first. Important. ]

It smells good. [ He doesn't sound as excited, but... ] When others arrive, it'll be gone in a few.

[ Especially if it's delicious. ]

[blindspotting]

[ His attention almost entirely on the creature in front of him, he registers Yuji as a familiar blur of energy. And one that seems to be managing fine on his own for the moment, so Shion lets himself focus in even sharper on the the shachimon, the rest of the world dimming slightly. It's enough that Shion is moving almost before the creature even starts to turn, darting around Yuji and into range to bury his suddenly-flaming sword directly into the things's eye.

The resulting thrashing throws him back again, and he lets the momentum slide him back towards Yuji's signature as his voice filters back into Shion's perception. ]

Fine. You?

[ Well. Fine enough. Uninjured, at least, and a quick scan tells him that Yuji is mostly the same. ]

I think this one is almost finished.

[blindspotting]

[ There's not much more than a heartbeat for Shion to register a familiar sort of sword style, but that's all he needs to trust that the man next to him can handle himself. True to the shouted comments, there's already another one of those creatures trying to heave itself onto the deck, setting the entire ship to tilt slightly underneath them. With enough speed they can keep their footing and maybe meet it before it completely manages to climb on. ]

Go left!

[ With no time to see if the command will be followed, Shion veers around to the right, hoping to split the thing's attention between the two of them as he darts in to slash across the arm the shachimon has hooked onto the edge of the ship. It sends the thing twisting into the direction he'd sent Izou in, ungainly as it grunts in pain. ]

[blindspotting]

[ He registers vaguely that there's something touching him, and then that he's moving, parting the endless clouds of light around them, but it's so hard to focus on anything in particular. It's not until they suddenly break the surface and the empty space around them hits him like a slap that Shion suddenly reacts, violently coughing out some of the water he'd accidentally swallowed. ]

What... [ He manages in between gasps, trying to feel out exactly what is happening while his mind catches up with the rest of him. There's someone holding him...?

Luckily it doesn't take too long for him to get his breathing back under control, though the water they're still half-submerged in keeps playing havok with his perception. ]

The ships?

[blindspotting]

[ He feels the shift in the vibrations of the decking under their feet before he registers the other creature barreling closer, and darts out of the way before the two whales collide into each other with pained bellows. As they thrash into each other, Shion takes the opportunity to slide unerringly into the gap one of them has left, driving his sword deep into it's uninjured eye and letting the blade catch fire for a second or two for good measure before he disengages again.

As the one finally begins to fall, he splits his attention between the remaining kaiju and the other figure nearby. ]

Are you alright? [ And then a second later, ] Can you lure it towards the edge of the deck?

[ Ren doesn't seem to have much more than a short blade, from what Shion can tell, but he seems agile. If he can catch the thing's attention enough, it might give Shion time to go for a killing blow. ]

[blindspotting]

[ There's some sort of movement happening, sending the clouds of energy into agitated eddies, but it's so hard to pick out any one thing that all Shion can do is hang there. At least until something wraps around him and pulls, and the shock of air combined with the shaking starts him choking out some of the water he'd breathed in without realizing it.

...alk to me, the voice says, and Shion impulsively reaches up to grab at the arm around him like he's trying to feel out the shape of it. ]

I'm--[ he gasps out in between coughs, before almost forcing himself to calm down enough to catch his breath. ] --I'm alright.

[ Possibly something of an overstatement, considering he's still dangling in Wriothesley's grip, but he's at least mostly coherent. ]

[blindspotting]

[ The absolute focus he'd been maintaining on trying to keep track of the monster fades a little and he turns towards the figure that's suddenly appeared by his side, mouth quirking into a half smile as he registers it as Taryon. ]

I would appreciate it. [ It's possible that he could keep track of the matriarch and spread himself wide enough to watch out for any other attacks, but it's not something he'd like to rely on. Having assistance makes everything significantly easier.

Though, speaking of assistance. Taryon knows these mechanical things, doesn't he? At least he's more than clever enough to be able to work it out in a way that Shion never will. ]

I don't suppose you know how to reload this thing?

endangered

[blindspotting]

[ As Bakugo moves to plant himself between the shachimon and everyone else, there's a sudden loud crack and the creature rears back with a spray of blood as a bullet catches it directly between the eyes. ]

Back up! [ Shion calls from where he's stationed behind the gun, and the sight of a blind man with a firearm may not exactly be the most reassuring thing ever, but Shion himself seems perfectly calm. He fires again, catching the creature in nearly the same spot with the second shot despite the way it writhes around, sending it crashing back into the water.

He's already twisting the gun back out over the water, but Shion tips his head in Bakugo's direction, taking in the tired set of his body. ]

Can you find better footing? The large one is coming.

[ And sure enough, the ship underneath them rolls violently. ]

[gundemn]

[ If Sooyoung could see his expression now, she would see his eyebrow twitching. ]

Like I care!

[ Her taunting is super effective. If she wants to throw herself into the monster's jaws, fine by him, he's not going to lose sleep over it!! ]

Have it your way.

[ He'll swoop down to the deck where she's standing so she can climb on. ]

[sparse]

[ There's an odd pause between his initial words and his next reaction when the mobile suit comes into view. It's like he's studying it closely, but his interest is there and gone by the next moment. ]

It's not sturdy enough for that. [ He agrees. The structure will likely collapse if they try to jostle it anymore, so at least they're on the same page. Moving on: ] There are still Shachimon wandering about.

[ He glances at the robot again. ]

Can you fight without it?

[gundemn]

In a sense?

[ The way he phrases it makes him wonder, but the guy is smiling at him as if to reassure him he's fine. If it were Elan, he probably wouldn't be pushing himself so hard.

He falls in step with the other boy as they trudge their way up to the lighthouse, the squelch of wet sand beneath his feet an unfamiliar feeling. It's too bad, it's his first time at the beach and he can't enjoy it. ]

I didn't take a swim, and I think I'll stay out of the ocean after that!

[ Kind of a vague answer, but Elan looks uninjured which speaks for itself. ]

[blastedass]

[Bakugo expects a swordsman to have good reactions. Whether that's reacting to a creature trying to bite his head off or to a teammate clocking him in the ribs and dragging him out into the sea so two monsters can crash into each other.

Yeah, that's a "fun" sight right there, both kaiju angry from the pain and electric shock, hungry enough to take a few bites at each other in the bloody water, and too stupid to know they got baited into attacking their sibling for a few seconds. Tch, it's too much to hope one of them would kill the other. They're orca, not sharks.

Raidou has the better idea. Instead of letting them regroup and charge again, Bakugo charges in as well. Instead of going for the second one, he opts to jam his trident into the first one's jaw, sending bolts of electricity through to make it twitch and jolt while Raidou prepares the finishing blow above.

Hurry up, Shashou, before the second one recovers.]

[gundemn]

[ When Yuji whips around, Elan puts his hands up and takes a step back, fight or flight instinct kicking in. His strength is nothing extraordinary in comparison, so it's fortunate Yuji doesn't actually grab him.

Perhaps they're both a little jumpy after that ordeal. ]

Do I look like a monster? I'm hurt.

[ He's not and he doesn't sound hurt. Making light of it is his way of saying it's fine and to cover up his own shaken reaction. ]

[blastedass]

[Fuck! Bakugo tenses before bracing as the kaiju recoils with both hands flying to its head. There's a sound he hasn't heard in a while. Between the firing harpoons, rattling chains, and other artillery, a single crack of a single gun is an oddly strange split. He recognizes the voice almost instantly, certainly not the same calm one seated behind a quintet of dice.

WHY THE FUCK IS A BLIND MAN FIRING A GUN?! ... Said blind man also played cards, rolled die, and used a sword. Why the hell would Shion not add shooting a fucking gun to his list of "should need sight but fuck it i'm blind" abilities. The second shot bullseyed into the first one like a legendary archer or sharpshooter only drives the damn point home.

Growling at being told to back up, Bakugo steps back, but only to give himself better footing. The creature above him is no longer, letting him have a moment to breathe as his body shudders through the intensity of his previous efforts. Cold, tired, wet, arms aching, sweat glands strained, probably bleeding somewhere. Fuck he could use a nap...

Apparently that's not going to happen and Bakugo slams his hand onto the nearby mast to brace himself as the ship pitches from side to side. Dammit! They have to deal with this bitch now!] Cover the crew until they get to safety!

[He's trusting those strangely-accurate blind eyes to keep watch.]

[gundemn]

Please do! The sooner the world's saved, the sooner we'll be free to go.

[ When did world saving become a competition? Elan has no intention of being a competitor or getting in the way. He never asked to be drafted and he'd be okay not being a hero, though he wisely keeps the thought to himself. The other guy seems genuinely passionate about the hero business, it's surprising.

Unfortunately, Elan is about the most unheroic mecha pilot around. It all comes back to how a tool is used in the end. The coolest robot doesn't do any good in the wrong hands. ]

Coming, coming.

[ He takes flight after Bakugou. Not letting him out of his sight but not flying as fast as he could to keep up either. ]

[gundemn]

[ Taryon is right to pursue his passion for technology. Elan's just been put through hell by scientists and is making it everyone else's problem. ]

What if someone took your inventions and used them for nefarious means? What then?

[ Technology developed with good intentions didn't always remain that way when the wrong people got their hands on it. That was how it was with GUND. ]

LILITH probably recruited you just to take advantage of your skills.

[ Elan doesn't trust the organization one bit. ]

1/2

[yuwon]

[ he doesn't say anything at first, perfectly content on ignoring him and going back to rest while he can. except, that isn't entirely true. who could simply go back to relaxing knowing that there was the high potential for a repeat offense? especially, as he did seem quicker than he expecting.

while he doesn't move, he does add: ] Don't always expect things to go your way. [ he says as if this situation was removed from himself and he was a mere spectator rather than an active piece of this crime. ]

You could try again. [ but, he doesn't seem too serious as he does seem to bring his legs back down, as is satisfied by his prior words. ]

[yuwon]

[ he even moves the dish of oysters over, if just ...

to eat one himself. ]
