Ryley still loved the ocean, sure he was stranded on 4546B for five years but despite that the ocean felt more like home than anything else. Maybe it was because he was under the ocean for five years, must be it. However, these oceans were far nicer than the one’s on the other planet, even on Alterra itself. 4546B was dangerous, anything could try to kill him and he could only survive with what he had. Alterra wasn’t much better, he had to report to the overarching company and wherever he went, they saw. On Earth, there was much more freedom than he had there and it was generally safer than 4546B.

As Ryley dived down from a small island with nothing but a palm tree, he wished he saw something that was out of the ordinary. Sure, finding dolphins or sharks was exciting but it wasn’t anything on Reefback Leviathans or the terrifying beauty of a Mesmer. He continued to dive but the bottom was deeper than he thought so he resurfaced. Time for plan B. It was good he had a base nearby. Ryley swam to the base and made a mobile vehicle bay and when he exited the base, put it beside it and made a Seamoth, just enough. Good. He put the depth modules into it, having them left over from his time stranded and headed down.

Ryley had to stop on seeing something, a town? He kept it on the outskirts, avoiding the strange place from the side and ended up by a green area with Jellyfish and that’s when he decided to exit his vehicle to explore a little. He could always go back in it when he needed oxygen and he had enough power on it with his solar charger installed. It wasn’t much to think about and let him enjoy the scenery, it reminded him of the Grassy Plateaus if he had to be honest. Although, his exploration was cut short by hearing something, laughter. What?

— [ ☂ ] — Kogasa yawns. Hot nights yield to hotter days which yield to cooler, but still warm nights. The cycle repeats and repeats itself, leaving the youkai unable to sleep a wink. A never ending week of heat. And for what? This stupid mirrored city to show up?!

Filled with unrighteous indignation, her digits clench tightly, as does her chest. The heat takes its toll on the sleep deprived tsukumogami as her measured steps stomp through the city. The strangeness of this situation depletes herself from cheer, yet, in her mismatched eyes, there flickers a glimmer of hope.
