{Scenario A: awake}

[ A tired-looking girl with a dark expression wanders the campus, holding a book wrapped in chains. On closer inspection, the girl's hands are purple with red nails. Some new style? And the book appears to be kind of... bloody.

Maybe you could ask what she's doing with it. Or steer clear of her. That might be a good idea too. ]

{Scenario B: dream}

[ The same girl is now running, still looking a bit lost. This time, she has no book in hand... or claw, rather. Now she's purple all over with some stitches, except for her hands which have been replaced with two blood-red claws on each hand. They look sharp enough to stab and tear and kill anything that they touch.

And she looks ready to do just that. ]

[ Well, that sounded promising. She turned her head towards Rock for her next question. ] Is there a way to get to the center of it? The more unreachable this accursed thing is, the better.

[megabuster]

The center of it...? Like, you want to take a boat out? Or you mean under water?

[bookofclaws]

Well, I'm not planning on swimming. At least, not like this. [ She gestures to her burden by tapping it with a finger-claw. ] I just need to sink this wretched book.

[megabuster]

I can't say I get why... But I think you can get boat out. Or at least a raft... And if not, I could try to help.

[bookofclaws]

You could try, yes. Whether or not you are helpful remains to be seen.

[ The clawed girl grew more irate by the second, wiping at an itch on her face. Scratching it wasn't exactly an option right now. ]

Take me to this lake you speak of.

[megabuster]

[There was definitely something... off about her. And Rock noticed it.]

Okay... It's this way.

[He lead the way out to the old kraken lake, where some of the debris from the Egg Carrier still dotted the landscape.]

[bookofclaws]

[ She said nothing more as she followed Rock. Metal curiousities littered the path, but she wasn't here for sightseeing. ]

[megabuster]

Well, this is the spot... The place is kind of a mess. There was a big accident a while back, and, well, you can see there's still some remnants of it...

[bookofclaws]

I gathered as much.

[ The girl walked towards the lake, wading in up to her ankles. She made as if she was going to throw the book into the water, but paused-- this wouldn't nearly be deep enough to get rid of it. ]

... Where are the boats you spoke of located?

[megabuster]

[Rock took a look around the lake.]

I dunno... Might be they're not here, thanks to the crash... But I can still get you out there.

[A flash of light and Rock had suited up in his blue armor. Equipping the Magnet Beam, he aimed his buster towards the middle of the lake and fired a beam of solid energy, creating a walkway out into the lake.]

There, that should do it...
