[Until she got home and it was just her and Shiho, she hadn't even realized that they'd been gone so long. Or well, she learned afterwards that Shiho did know but hadn't told any of them as she navigated them all home in a way that avoided everyone patrolling the harbour. Then Shiho told her when they were back and well, as much as she wanted to just go to sleep after everything she had to at least let everyone know they were fine.]

this is kaoru. me, shiho, midoriya-kun and ei-chan eijirou all made it back okay. i'm sorry if we worried anyone. i didn't think we'd be gone this long.

so anyway...there are monsters under the water too. and it turns out if you try to explore underwater the way we did when we went into the forest it does that creepy thing where it makes it so you can't see anything around you.

except there's no fog. because you don't get fog underwater! it just turns pitch black.

we ended up being kidnapped by these bootleg mermaids who don't understand that housework should be done regularly so they don't end up with a HUGE backlog of chores. i guess they did make it so we could breathe, but like, they're still kidnappers! and ugly! and terrible home-makers!

2/10 for hospitality, would not recommend for marriage.

anyway, we ended up back on the beach after we were finished and we have these neat pendants!

funny how this place keeps giving us clothing and accessories...but a lot of it is pretty ugly. if someone wore all of it together...i can't even imagine how that would look. it might be worse than the clothes we found in this place and i didn't realize that was even possible!

Thank goodness you're all okay. But what's a bootleg mermaid?

#FF8080

[queenofminiskirts]

yeah. sorry. we really thought we'd be back sooner.

they're like mermaids...but also look more like frogs? they have these antennas and webbed hands and feet! they were really ugly and they couldn't talk.

[messianic]

Huh. It's weird that they kidnapped you, but I guess that kind of fits the fairy tale theme? Being kidnapped and tested to see how hard-working you are, and all of that.

[  Meow.  ]

I'm sorry, you were KIDNAPPED? By MERMAIDS?

#FF8080

[queenofminiskirts]

bootleg mermaids. ugly ones. [Because that part is important. Because she wasn't sure they were mermaids at all.]

we were underwater and they just grabbed us.

[catlady]

So, ugly, fish-like creatures, then. Trust me, as far as I'm concerned, that's all the more reason to stay OUT of the water.

[His text is still black. First and most importantly:]

What are mermaids, exactly? Did they try to hurt you?

[With that out of the way, he's can ask other questions.]

Were there other monsters besides these mermaids? Did the mermaids actually have homes? Or structures of any kind? Was there any written word or did they speak to you? Or was it simply hand gestures? How did they give you the ability to breathe underwater?

[queenofminiskirts]

that's a lot of questions! let's see...

mermaids are creatures with a fish's tail and a beautiful woman's body! but these ones just had the shape of people and kind of looked like some kind of fish-frog thing.

i don't think they were really trying to hurt us. they just made us do their housework?

i hadn't seen any other monsters in the water, but it wouldn't surprise me if there were. we couldn't really see anything once we got underwater.

they lived in these huge caves! shiho said they were really, really deep underwater!

they just kind of...gestured? i'm not sure if they couldn't talk or if they were just being rude. they just showed us the stuff that needed doing and when we said we'd do it they left!

and i have no idea. magic i guess?

[resoluteseraph]

[Was it? He only asked eight.]

I see, we have creatures called hellions that can look different but I've never heard or seen anything like the mermaids you described.

What sort of housework? Scrubbing down algae from their cave walls and floor? [This is more of a rhetorical question.]

How long has someone lasted when underwater? How far out has someone gone?

So no structures other than the natural ones provided. Did they have furniture of any kind? Household items such as plates or silverware?

They left you after showing you what to do? Did you try to leave without cleaning?

Did they have light in the caves for you to see by or could you juse see when they gave you the ability to breathe underwater?

Kaoru

all of this happened and the first thing you worry about are their marriage potential??

1/2

[queenofminiskirts]

was there something else i should be worried about?

[Okay, so maybe she was frustrated because they were all right there within her reach when the bubble popped and she still couldn't stop them from being separated or protect them but that wasn't exactly something she was going to put on the network.]

and would you want to marry someone who leaves a whole pile of housework undone regularly?

2/2

[queenofminiskirts]

[And then, sent a few seconds later because she remembers that she's the kind of person who regularly leaves a whole pile of chores undone.]

if they don't show any signs of changing this habit, i mean!

[explodosafe]

Marry...?

[Who is he, Kaminari? Mineta??]

I haven't really thought about who I want to marry yet, but I guess as long as they don't turn out as notorious messy it'll be alright.

We were gone for TWO DAYS. It didn't feel that long!!

[Hi, he's having a crisis.]

[queenofminiskirts]

[...this was another reason why Shiho didn't say anything, wasn't it?]

well, it wasn't like we could tell. since we couldn't see the sun or anything!





...how mad do you think guren-san is?

[Hey, kiddos. Nice to see you back safe.]

Guess.

private message

[inheritance]

HE REPLIED...

On a scale of one to ten, we're probably at an eleven right now.

[glaciers]

It felt that long.

[inheritance]

I'm so sorry, Shouto!!

I would've sent a message to you if I could.

[tropism]

[ still black text. ]

What are the pendants like? What do they do?

Are any of you hurt?

[queenofminiskirts]

they're kind of blue...and glowy? i haven't tested it yet but shiho says they'll let us breathe underwater!

and no, we're all fine! a bit disoriented because holy crap, i did not realize we've been gone for TWO DAYS. but otherwise no one was injured and it all turned out okay!

[Though she's very aware it could have turned out terrible. But that wasn't a conversation topic she wanted to get into now when she's just trying to reassure people that everything was fine.]

[withwisdom]

[ aaaaaaahh ]

What in the world possessed you to take on such a dangerous mission?

[queenofminiskirts]

we thought if we could get to the bottom we could get more information about this place.

[And she thought she could protect everyone if it came to it.]

#FFCCCC

[anamnestik]

Ms Kaoru?! Thank goodness you are well!

I'm so sorry you were kidnapped by ugly mermaids. I hope the pendant is lovely enough to make up for it?

Your health is well? You are resting at present?

[queenofminiskirts]

it's kind of glowy. not sure it's really my style but apparently it can help us breathe underwater.

i wish we got something more than that though...

but yeah, all of us are okay and healthy! i'll go rest after i'm done here.

[And probably after she's done being scolded by Guren.]
