As with any wonderful day, Captain Naut's ship lied settled against the beach, waiting for its passengers to arrive. It had been waiting a little longer than usual this day, though it did not have much longer to go, as a long, noodley robot could be seen approaching the ship, lying long against the ground, as small baby scarvies jump about atop it, a scarvie like robot dragging the longer one twords the ship. The group and their pets, after a moment, breach the deck, finally making their way up the ramp after their long journey.

"Okay, there, you're not staying cooped up all universe this time. We're going on a nice trip with the captain, and we're getting you a catch." The robot says, letting go of their companion's tail.

"Yes its all quite very exciting huh, the bustle and rumble of alien sea adventure." The polynoid prince casually lounged on their *funny ant* having accompanied these *funny alien robots* on a whim.

"MOVE OUT THE WAY! THE SILVER TIGER IS HERE FOR A FISHING TRIP WITH HIS DAUGHTER!" The Silver Tiger, unable to wait for these other guests to board, jumps over them, kitten in hand.
Said kitten hisses at the group. "Yeah you guys are total slowpokes! Get a move on unless you want us to catch all the fish!"
Kenshi grabs the other robot by the head and looks them in the eyes. "You hear that? If you don't hurry they're gonna catch all the fish."

"By Queen, who's cutting ahead of the... oh, it's the mask wearing alien animal things, of course."
"Slowpokes, eh? Oh hohoho, we'll see about that!"

The AI springs forward like an arrow, attempting to board the ship with equal gusto. His phobe hovers eerily behind.

The little baby scarvies fall off the AI as it darts off, crowding around Kenshi after the bounce off the ground.

"That's the spirit. Let's get going." She says, hopping along after them.
Cazkade jumps back as the guests race each other on board. "Hey! No running! What if one of you slips!"
"It would be really funny."
"The Silver Tiger has brought his first aid kit."
"He'll put back anyone who breaks apart!"
"And if you stay dead, we can sell your organs to a wet market."
"We will not be doing that."
"Yeah, actually most of these guys are robots, so we'll have to set an appointment with a scrapyard instead."
"How forward-thinking. But I don't believe there's anything for me in there, and I find myself questioning your engineering qualifications."
"I would certainly enjoy watching this Tiger try to fix a machine, I'm sure it would be very, enriching."
"I don't need to be an engineer to rip you apart, buster!!!!" The small notail tries to grab the long AI, but the Silver Tiger holds her up to avoid the deadly onslaught.
"Oh no, your one weakness."
"Apologizes. This particular kitten of mine is extremely aggressive."

Brushing off the altercation, the AI stares at Cazkade for a moment, seeming to look right through them. This was the only character he did not recognize.

"Uh anyway, I'm sailor Cazkade. I'm just going to do a few checks and inform you uh...mateys, about anything you need to know. Like the lifeboats are over there, and the life vests are in these storage bins. You don't have to put them on, but that's a risk you'll have to take. To be honest if you put on the life vests the Captain takes it as approval to throw you overboard for a little fun so it's kind of a danger in itself."

But he takes special interest in the unassuming crewmember. Perhaps because it's not like a krell to back away from a confrontation, especially one under their "circumstances."
"Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Cazkade! Forgive me, I still haven't properly introduced myself... I'm sure you've already met Kenshi here."
"Oh don't worry I've been aboard before I know all the checks." The Prince pays little mind to the AI's weird *beef* with the *funny fish boy* or the prospect of either of them falling overboard.
Cazkade stares up at the AI silently. "Ah. I guess I should have greeted everyone." They look towards Kenshi but tilt their head.

The small notail gets in the middle of the group. "UNLESS THIS GRANT IS GOING TO PAY FOR ALL THE TIME WE'RE NOT FISHING LET'S HUSTLE THIS TRIP!"

("Ugh I mean, obviously... if you go fishing in this universe you're guaranteed to see some kind of a cool fish...)
"Knew it! Totally fake fortunes! Course we're going to find a fish. We brought tickets that say if we don't catch a new buddy, we get refunds!" The notail huffs and crosses her arms in annoyance. She's so focused on being fussy she nearly falls as the ship finally moves to leave the port.

Grand scans the horizon from on high, looking for anything of interest.
Grand rolls a 20 sided die. A 1 is rolled.
"!!!"
"Oh? What do your noodley eyes spot Grand?"
[Limbus Company - Middle Finger Battle]
Grand didn't have time to speak. The body of a dead albino nichtendrakk is thrown onboard by another.
Bloodfang lands on the ship after tossing the body, screeching and snapping at the Silver Tiger.
The Silver Tiger is ready to take on any challenge though.
IT'S A CLASH!
Silver Tiger rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +5. A 22 is rolled.
Bloodfang rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +5. A 19 is rolled.

The Silver Tiger does what he did to the last nichtendrakk that attacked him and his friends. He grabs the jaws of it.

But there was a third and fourth party who weren't going to play fair.
Skeleton King rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +10. A 25 is rolled.
The Skeleton King shoots the Silver Tiger in the shoulder, causing him to lose the feeling in his arm, and thus the snapping force of Bloodfang closing on his hands. "THANKS FOR THE DRAGON, FUCKASS, BUT THE BOSS HAS A BIT OF AN ISSUE WITH THAT LITTLE BIT OF MURDER YOU COMMITTED!"
Edger Drakken rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +5. A 6 is rolled.
Edger jumps off of Bloodfang-
But Bloodfang is so excited by his first full sized hunt, he flaps his wings, causing Edger to trip and faceplant his landing. He drops Silver Tiger in surprise.
("Albinos are lucky says the ancestors. I'm starting to believe this was one of the family's other jokes.") Edger Drakken mumbles under his breath as he picks himself up.
"What the fuck is your issue, asshole?"
"YOU MURDERED MY GRETEL!" he snaps back.
"A Drakken might as well kill himself if his nichtendrakk dies under his watch!"
("A trip and a SHOW! You're all getting your money's worth today!")

"Gretel was BLIND and DEAF! She didn't know what she was doing!"
"But I know what I'm going to do." Edger Drakken swoops forward, grabbing the Silver Tiger's child.
"If you think I'm beyond killing a child, think again you disgusting little cat. You're all going to do what I say, and if I am PLEASED with the results, maybe I'll let this child go, perhaps."
The young notail motions her hands instinctual as if writing. "Well, losing 9 years worth of work is preeeeeetty bad, but also I'm only a child so I'm not really worth too much."

"Well, I am ever eager to learn! First of all, how about that absolute unit ahead of us? What's their deal?"
"Aaaah, looks like we have a bit of special situation before us, lads!"

A group of lancelot males follow after a large galehaut. Normally enemies, the galehaut pays no mind the the lancelots. At most swatting its tail like it would to a fly.

"Some youngin male lancelots like to follow round big galehauts! The gale ain't interested in eating males, so these males are fixing to spar with it, hone their skills over time."
"Galehauts are leaking with a pheromone that attracts female lancelots, known as damsels. Stealing them away from their loyal protectors, causing them to hunt for it, and then gobbling them up whole when they're big enough!"
"But, these chemicals affect male lancelots, especially ones without damsels of his own. Makes them eat more, grow bigger, but the old gale ain't going to eat em, so they end up bigger and meaner than any other lancelot in the sea!"
"King Lancelots! That is what they're called!"
"Oooh... this lancelot resembles the spiny venomous, lionfish. Quite the dignified specimen I'd say!"

"Yes, that one is actually a bit of a trouble maker! Don't know what happened to it, but when it started showing up, it made a mess of the ecosystem around here. Honestly, you're doing me a favor by pointing it out lad! I need to take that thing out the sea."
Captain Naut motions Grand to come to the controls. "Want to do the honors of catching it? Just try not to grab the gale, yeah? Don't worry, the controls are so easy, ole Pierre could use it, and he ain't very tech savvy!"
"Hmmm if you want one of the other lancelots, that's find with me as well. You actually want to avoid having too many king lancelots."
"You think being bigger, being meaner, sparring all your life against these gales would make them better, but not so much."
"King lancelots spend all their life fighting, it's all they can do, lad. So when damsels come to them for safety....They get confused. They remember their gale tutors-" Captain Naut pauses. "-how they used to kill those poor damsels.....so instead of protecting what should be the love of their lives, they kill them."

Grand calculates the trajectory of the shot, and using the power granted to him by his Time domain, attempts to predict exactly where the spiny lancelot will move. He takes aim, and fires!
"You got this Grand, expert at hitting it just right!"
Grand could not fail. A time AI is usually burden by the horrors of their visions, but for once, it was a boon. A vision of joy and triumph.

He didn't need to roll. He didn't need to depend on luck. He could see the princely lancelot in his net, and so it was.

"And here I was thinking this would be a normal fishing trip. That was quite fun!"
"...Other than the uh....thing happening..." She lowers her head a bit
"This universe has been great!"

"A superious catch, some kidnapping drama, Yep this is a pretty great universe." Laplace has no idea what they're talking about.

"I must admit, I have a good feeling about this one. Perhaps my plans will finally see action for once..."

Grand quietly fumbles with a strange fruit, before pocketing it once more.
The submarine approaches a great glow below. It is nearly entirely surrounded by an endless spiral of fish. "Aye, there's our final stop for the fancy pants kidnappers in the room!"
"Now, let me warn you. If I drop this body into that artifact, it's more likely that those fish are going to eat her body, bones and all, before she touches it. She'll likely be gone. Never mind that I wouldn't drop a dragon of all things into this pit!"
"Aaaaah, well if this fails, we'll see what happens then, yes?~"
"My family won't kill me if I don't come back with Gretel."
"They'll do something worse."
"I'll take my chances here. Thank you."
"Then let us watch her fall. Let me prove to all of you that the artifact works. It brings LIFE into what DOES NOT LIVE."
The hatch of the submarine opens, and Gretel's body sinks, weighed down. The fish around the artifact swarm around her, but none of them bite into her, as if terrified of the corpse. She falls all the way to the glow unharmed.

Then something unexpected happens. The sea for a moment, rumbles, and turns a BLUE deeper than anything that has ever touched it before. The fish scatter in fear.

And Gretel rises up, alive once again.

"It worked! It really worked! Gretel is back!" Edger Drakken cheered, approaching the domed glass.
Gretel swims up to the window of the submarine and stares in. "Edger. Drakken." Gretel speaks.

Her voice shouldn't have been able to be heard so clearly in this sealed submarine.

She shouldn't have had a voice at all.
Edger Drakken for once in his life believes he may have made a mistake.
Necromancy is a crime for a reason.
