Sea Angel

[a_louse]

[1 - the announcement] I have some info that I thought might interest you. Paradigm's fishermen stopped doing their work, and I was hired to negotiate with them. Apparently a sea god was awakened, and they're too afraid to anger him. Some of them claim they saw him, and he's gigantic.

I don't believe in sea gods, but this might be something else - maybe even a Kaiju. I'm going to investigate this matter. If anyone wants to tag along, be my guest.

[2 - investigation] [Paradigm's docks are dark and moist, full of foreboding atmosphere and smell of fish. Just like Roger said, no boats are out in the sea - the fishermen are too afraid. It's hard to get a coherent testimony out of them, but something unexpected happens - when you're on your way to talk to one of them men who claim to have seen the sea god, turns out there's a lady already talking to him. And she notices you.]


Oh? What a surprise. I didn't expect to find you here, negotiator. And with company, no less.


Angel...

[3 - more investigation] [While walking around the docks, you suddenly hear a sound. It's coming from a dark alley between two seaside warehouses - it sounds like wet steps of large feet. And some shadows can be seen moving in the darkness - shadows that don't look entirely human...]


Do you see that?

[4 - single thread please]

This wouldn't have happened if you didn't jump in.


No, it wouldn't have happened if you didn't try to leave everyone behind.

[Welp. Roger, Angel, and maybe a few other people, are now stuck underwater, in the ruins of an office building. At least the building seems to be pressurized and have air and even electricity, but there's no visible way out - and these two spend as much time looking for one as they do bickering like children.]

( How did this happen? )
