Wishing Tree (General)

It's really beautiful, isn't it?

[ Seeing as this tree blooms only one night a year, many have made their way up to this tree during this very same night. You, too, might have trekked all this way with a friend or a lover in order to make a promise. But, if you're taking a moment away from them to mingle with the other pilgrims, Rem is here to converse!

She is, of course, alone, as she has no one to make a promise with-- but that's no matter, as the tree itself is beautiful enough to justify the entire hike. Doubly so, as it only blooms once a year. Although she appears winded, she smiles through her fatigue, coughing softly into her hand. ] It's worth seeing, it is. [ Rem lifts her gaze to admire the flowering pinks and reds of its boughs. ] Even if the blooms fade too quickly.

Down Where It's Wetter (General)

[ SOMEONE STOP HER, SHE'S BEING SWINDLED BY HANDSOME MERMAN VARIANT #2 BY THE COAST-- ]

Oh, what's that, you need more to be able to buy dinner...? Fishing while being able to breathe underwater must be tougher than it looks. [ Rem reaches for her coin purse, selecting another doubloon. The merman motions her closer, and she blinks, initially confused, and leans in to allow him to murmur something into her ear.

Immediately she turns red, and she hands him the coins. ] Oh, um, that's... You're very kind, you are! [ Wow wow wow, he called her beautiful. That's so nice. She's never had someone call her that before, much less in such a forward way! An embarrassed, bashful smile forms at the corners of her lips, her cheeks retaining that soft pink. This is the look of a young woman who is easily moved, practically made smitten by such kind words. ] Here, take more.

[ It's not like she needs to eat or anything! The merman has to! Plus, he's so friendly! ]

Crab Curry (Special)

[ She's kneeling by a tide pool, cupping a tiny, baby hermit crab in her palms. Rem looks over the little critter remorsefully. ] I'm sorry, little one. I was too late.

[ With her thumb, she pets over its colorful shell. Should you be close enough, you might be able to notice that it's no longer moving.

But she's still holding it. Although her head is bowed, it doesn't appear as if she's praying over it, but concentrating. ]

[So many mermaids... Or in this case, merman. Mermen? Why can't there be any bounties on dry land? Given what he read on the bounty list, these mermen have the ability to enthrall those into falling heads over heels for them, last thing he wants is to get wet and have those things try and attract him. Reminded him too much of that one sleazeball that went around kissing women because he felt entitled to their lips.

Then again, that guy was just a rich pretty boy. Falling for some fish man out of the sea sounded like some romantic novel older women would go gaga over. Surely no one would... be...

... And there goes his doubt that anyone would be gullible enough, much like Rem's gold coins. Thrown into the ocean and left to drown.]

... Rem, what are you doing?

[Disappointment was covering his words and his face watching the girl swooning and eating up the merman's honeyed words.]

[Alhaitham is, by this point, a fairly regular visitor to Norhpip. Not even all the troubles he's experienced or his near drowning experience can drive him away from this Abyss-damned crab. He wants that clue and he will get it one way or another and he's not going to let anything stop him.

So he is here once more, this time with Rem. At least its somebody who Alhaitham has worked with before this time so he doesn't see an issue with this. Not that the others have been bad, but its always easier to work with people who he is already familiar with.

...but with that having been said, he can't say that he is familiar with what Rem is doing at the moment. He stands nearby her, watching what she's doing with a vague notion of interest, but mostly he's just waiting for her to be done so they can move on. He doesn't begrudge her for wanting to mourn over the loss of a life, even if its that of a crab's, but it is ultimately not something in his wheelhouse.]

[After her last mishap with a bounty on the MANTA board not even shy of a couple weeks ago, Benedikta had taken on something... a little easier. Surely mermen would not give her any trouble, would they? It's not as if she's so easily bribed into things regardless of looks, so how bad could this possibly be?

Worse than she thought, she thinks to herself, as her boat comes sailing to the shore where there were rumoured sightings of them. She has to squint at first to be sure, but that is definitely a merman whispering what she is certain to be nothing good into Rem's ear. With a flick of her wrist, the wind picks up speed, and with it, the waves that lap onto the sand, and it shoves the quite-literally-fishy man out further up onto the beach.]

Rem!

[Benedikta calls out, nearly tripping out of her boat to rush to her, paying little mind to how the current might carry it away again.]

Put that purse away!

[Katsuki has been chasing seagulls off all day. His quirk makes for an effective way to clear them. Loud and flashy enough to spook the birds into scattering, giving others more time to rescue crabs without interference from them.

He's taking a break to hydrate and cool down when he spies Rem nearby and comes to see what has her attention. He pauses when he gets close enough to see.

Ah.]

Oy. That one's past saving, but we still got a lot who need help.

OH NO HE'S HOT (Down Where It's Wetter)
