[text] there is water at the bottom of the ocean
[Originally, it started out as a well-meaning adventurous foray for personal edification, yadda, yadda, yadda. Time moves so slowly in Hadriel that Nate has been clawing at ways to occupy it, and since he's exhausted the library of any texts that aren't in gibberish it stands to reason he might seek personal fulfillment elsewhere. After waking up with the usual restlessness he considered the wide expanse of lakeside real estate out his window and thought, yeah, a swim sounds nice.
The swim was less than nice.
Several minor explosions and some (honestly) impressive spell-work later sees him soaked to the skin but otherwise unscathed outside of minor lacerations on one arm - there's really only so much you can do when trying to evade a shark with two fucking heads - scribbling quickly in a notebook with the sort of fervor reserved for the truly mad. Lake-adjacent, blessedly on the shore with a towel slung around bare shoulders, he quickly snaps a photograph of his work with his phone and hits SEND TO ALL.
The message is as follows:]
does anyone know what the hell this is
i found it at the bottom of the lake

p.s. don't go swimming in the lake

the bones belong to the original inhabitants of this world
apparently i pissed a local god off by finding them but what else is new
no subject
which god?
i mean i'm asking but i also know it doesn't really matter.
it's not like you dug em up anyway, what's their problem???
you eyeballed some bones, drew a nice picture of em, what's the big deal?
no subject
hope, surprisingly a real dickhead
apparently accidentally finding remains is the equivalent of grave desecration in his book
[Honestly, Nate could have done so much worse.]
no subject
also learned that it doesn't matter how good your sense of direction is, 'cause the place keeps changing it up on you.
they're all dickheads, it's just a matter of which ones are better at hiding it in person.
i guess it figures the only person they care about not tormenting was a sea monster or whatever.
at least i assume so if he apparently had a good relationship with one.
no subject
apparently these remains belonged to some of the original inhabitants of this place, so...maybe they were friends? or something
you'd think they'd put up a sign saying 'hey there are bones down here, don't disturb them'
[Or maybe they just didn't think some idiot with a death wish would try to go diving in a lake full of sharks. It's a mystery!]
