[bro this is all so disorganized. Shepard can hardly stand it -- but she's heard of the meetings that they had had in the past, and she's going to take it upon herself to do one of her own. they had to get all of their facts together somehow, at least.

it's the Leader Things in her.]

Everyone meet me near the pool. Between the apparent disappearances last month and what's been going on at the pool, we need to get our facts straight. Meet me here after school's over for the day.

[aaand she's there at her designated time, hoping that they'd at least try to listen to her and gather as she intended...

she's not going to lock anyone in or anything, but if you try to pass her by, she's going to give you A Look like you'd better mind her message. not that she's even close to punching someone out, but. there's probably something a little bit intimidating about the commander who's looking at you expectantly if you try to ignore her meeting.]

Uncooked, just raw and bloody and slightly infused with my shadow magic because Komaeda thought it might've been a good idea to see if we could kill it like that.

...Apparently not.

[devouringdeep]

[Damn. Well, there went the idea that this thing developed a taste for cooked things based off of the treats it was receiving. Hm.]

How'd you get the steaks down there? Did you just drop them in and hope they sank?

[silentabyss]

I just held them in my arms and swam down deep, then dropped them, yeah. Nothing came up to kill me, and I didn't hear a roar or swimming sounds or the like, so I'm not sure how deep it was or if it even knew about the meat in the first place. It's dark that deep, so I couldn't see anything either.

[devouringdeep]

[There's a really long pause before he asks his next question]

So... That shadow magic of yours. Theoretically, could you make a really powerful, indestructible fishing rod?

[silentabyss]

It's... possible, yeah. The problem is I can only control things within a radius of ten feet to myself. Back home, I had more reach... something about the school interferes with my magic.

[Well... okay. Clamor's been teaching him magic and I hate that I have to use present tense here because he's not dead as of the family meeting sobbing, but maybe he has a little more reach than he did previously, considering,]

Oh, but I can do this now, though.

[Angles himself to the side, does this.]

[devouringdeep]

[want you to know the little Saeran mysme in the bottom corner of that video confused the ever loving fuck out of me]

[He frowns a little at that, though he tilts his head back just to sort of watch as Noah does his jig, amusement quickly makes its way back into his face] Impressive! Alright, so if we do need to kill it, you can do... That. And we should be fine.

[He moves to shelve his chin on his palm, drumming his fingers against his cheekbone] But in that case theoretically, if we could find a way to maybe enchant an ordinary rod to be an unbreakable fishing rod, we might just be able to pull the thing back to the surface that way.

We’d need a way to enhance the strength of the user, of course. An unbreakable tool means nothing if you lack the strength to use it. [yo Socrates it’s a fucking fishing rod]

[silentabyss]

[Saeran MysMe is an honourary elswordian]

Well... for the fishing rod, I know a small protection spell, [from Clamor, again; lots of learning going on in school as you can see,] so we can use that. Clamor's better at those sorts of things than I am, so we can also ask him...

...I'm not sure about enhancing the strength of the user, though.

[devouringdeep]

[GOD pls don't put him in Elsword, he needs the therapy that doesn't exist in Elrios.

A protection spell would definitely help scoot things along, that's for sure. Childe himself might even be able to imbue the rod with his own Vision abilities... That is. If he had them. Which he doesn't, so... That's kinda pointless to count upon, isn't it?

He gives a few lazy kicks of his feet in the water.]

Could also do a net, maybe? Use the rod to lure it up, use the net to catch it. That would circumvent all needs to actively fight the thing in a battle of strength. [Which is sad! But hey, it would be better than losing an arm.]
