treasure hunt frenzy part 2
@marryonette > @couragegained > @scarfheroine
For a while, it seems like the city of Theorillia and the underwater landscape are welcoming, quiet and filled with strange plants and animals that Marry spends her time watching, sometimes scrambling to take pictures for Kyouka but mostly relaxing.
Marry hadn’t been certain when she’d gone down to explore (as much as could be said, considering how close she stuck by safe areas) but was enjoying herself now. She’d found a quiet spot in outside the housing complex, sparsely populated — she’d seen a boy earlier, who seemed vaguely familiar, but not many others — and was resting her chin against the soft water grass, arms curled up beneath her chest, and that was where she had been when the large cracking sounds suddenly started up—
Girl takes a few moments, to process, and lifts herself up with her palms, raises her head to look upwards, trying to find the source of the sound. She doesn’t quite place it, not until a droplet of water lands on her nose, and eyes widen. Next plays the announcement, declaration of chaos.
“...Leviathan... Guarding the entrance...?”
Though the area had been quiet, earlier, people come rushing outside of the housing at this, and there’s a cacophony of voices, angry and shocked and confused; Marry barely gets up to sit properly before in the panic she’s knocked down again, face meeting grass unceremoniously.
People run past, and girl makes herself as small as possible, trying to scoot out backwards out of the rush and not get stepped on.
