beta testing 0.2: quest update

beta testing 0.2

BETA NOTE: This log is being used for Duocaeli’s Tutorial & Dungeon Beta Testing. Please note that some game features are limited and will be noted in this format on pages, and an invitation is still required to play. Thank you and have fun!

Patch Update

Maybe you’ve been getting settled in for a little while now, maybe you just arrived yesterday. Hopefully you’ve been able to adjust to your surroundings, since it seems like some big changes are coming. All Dodo residents will receive a Duocaeli notification on their phones:

> 0.2 Expansion has arrived! Server capacity has increased. New locations await you, worldwalkers.
> New quests can be accepted in Windhaven Woods, Aria's Grove, Dandelion Fields!

At the exact same time, completely coincidentally, a city-wide broadcast is sent directly to characters inboxes:

> Thank you for your patience with our construction, city-goers! As our Pride Parade goes underway, we are proud to share the grand re-opening of many venues throughout the city. Love is love!

Those who wander to the Divination Tower in Domus Hosus, whether on purpose or because the stairs guide you there, will see that both of these broadcasts are proudly displayed amidst the glimmering gems. If you try to read your fate in the stars, they will delightedly provide you with a prophecy. However each prophecy comes in images, beckoning you to a new location with… a certain someone! Immediately after receiving this prophecy, you will feel naturally compelled to find that individual, stranger or friend, and affirm your fate. Maybe you'll end up going somewhere out of your depth? At least you won't be alone!

> 1. Questboard

The quest board at the guild hub has been updated with the latest patch! Excited players are gathered around to collect new bounties, which are open to all. The guild hub also provides a useful bestiary, which is readily accessible by guild members via crystals.

A. SWEET DREAMS ARE MADE OF THESE
Avisle University has requested assistance in collecting Blue Chamomile from the northern part of Windhaven Woodlands for study. These flowers are known to aid sleep and have some rejuvenating properties as well, if taken as a tea. They are best harvested in pairs as they feed off positive energy—once their petals start glowing, the plant is ready to be plucked. You’ll have to make your quest partner laugh, or pay them a genuine compliment that makes them smile. You can also share your dreams for the future, or a good memory. The plants also enjoy music! Even the most tone-deaf of vocalists are appreciated by these chamomiles.

Additionally, these flowers are HUGE fans of PDA. If your characters hold hands, or hug, or k-kiss... it may seem like they are slowly turning their petals towards you...

As noted on the Locations page, it would be wise to remember that Windhaven Woodlands can be quite confusing to navigate. The trees like to stretch their roots multiple times a day, often altering paths that characters have taken. At times branches will weave themselves together so tightly, it blocks out most sunlight. It’s very possible to get lost here, but those with keen navigation skills will notice that the wind always seems to flow in the direction of Avisle at the beginning and middle of the hour, like clockwork.

REWARD: A sachet of Blue Chamomile tea, made with some of the petals you helped harvest. If you take it before you sleep, you will find yourself waking up fully refreshed the next morning whether in the ON or OFF world. You may even find yourself briefly dreaming of the good memory that your quest partner shared with you!

FAILURE: You will grow flowers on your body that cannot be removed, purely cosmetic. Lasts until you log off the server.

B. 'TIL DEATH DO US PART
Rumor has it that there's a malevolent spirit haunting Aria's Grove, one with particularly sticky fingers, that's been stealing items from sleeping travelers–as well as dreams. Those with their dreams stolen will feel an almost unshakable malaise and melancholy. The Wanderer's Guild is looking for adventurers to locate and dispel this spirit for good, as it's the only way to retrieve lost items (and dreams).

Whoever manages to navigate the woods to Aria's Grove will find not a spirit, but a small, crystalline golem made from broken shards. It speaks in a soft, tinkering voice, saying, "My love, my love." It's unable to do much damage, but it's fast and evokes a sensation of grief and despair in whoever draws close to it. Adventurers may recognize this as a gemwalker, and know that the only way to free the ghost trapped inside is to break the crystal form.

Upon doing so, they'll find a watch that was encased in the crystal, with a name etched into the back. Regardless of how much they ask around, they'll be unable to find anyone by that name.

REWARD: A special compass from the Wanderer's Guild. It can be set to always point toward a location of the owner's choosing.

C. A HARE-OWING CAT-ASTROPHE
In the Avisle town square, festivities are abound; red and gilded gold streamers stretch across the plaza, rabbits hop along, eager to be held, cats preen on unlikely perches, and the guilds have plenty of free food and drink out to be enjoyed—as well as a limited-time bounty being offered for the new year! Help out and earn yourself a reward.

  • Bake goods for guests, who are notoriously harsh. Sometimes recipes here will lead you astray.
  • Mix or taste-test some drinks... which only seem to exacerbate your elemental symptoms (see prompt 3. ELEMENTAL ECCENTRICITY below for details).
  • Deal with jealous tiger monsters that set fire to various stands and attack festival-goers. They can be fought (NPC rabbits will help), but also seem intelligent, and can be bribed to depart with treats, brushing their (sometimes flaming hot) fur, or other offerings. These creatures don't seem to be native to Avisle; if you follow one outside of the city, they'll fly right off the edge of the island...
  • Like above, attacking the rabbits in any way or causing problems will get you mobbed by knife-wielding bunnies with 9999HP.

REWARD: Free food, daiya, and a good time!

Though from there... it looks like there's a few additions that must be completed in the OFF world?

D. H҉A҉P҉P҉Y҉ HOPPIN’ NEW YEAR
Red envelopes need to be distributed to the students of Gruidae University in celebration of the Lunar New Year! (Our usual guy, Jimmy, is out sick…) In the spirit of the Year of the Rabbit, volunteers will be asked to wear a tasteful (or ridiculous) set of bunny ears and a soft, poofy bunny tail while on the job. Just make sure to avoid the BPL (Bunny Protection League) activists lurking among the student body, they take their duties seriously and will attempt to divest you of your bunny appendages if caught.

REWARD: A red envelope (the amount can be anywhere between $20 to 23 cents) and coupon to the newly opened bunny cafe located at the mall. You will also receive a cute bunny ear accessory in your ON World inbox.

FAILURE: A forced viewing of the documentary, Bunnies Are Human Too, while surrounded by passionate BPL members.

E: BIRD M҉E҉A҉S҉U҉R҉I҉N҉G҉ CONTEST
As an icebreaker, Dodo is hosting competitions in the Training Hall! Get to know your new housemates by having an impromptu battle. This doesn’t have to be combat-related or any sort of traditional duel: you can challenge your partner to lifting weights, a dance-off, even Twister and other board games. There will also be gaming consoles and seating in various corners—FATALITY!

REWARDS: Bragging rights! Dodo will also send a little spa set/gift package to the winner’s room, which includes bird-themed face masks. Also, the winner will be able to stay in the OFF world for up to 5 days (one time), rather than 3.

FAILURE: Public humiliation.

Conveniently, non-PC players can't seem to see these last two bounties at all. Oh well—get to questing!

> 2. Okay get a job?

Sometime while you’re minding your business, you’ll be interrupted by a neat little beep beep! On the screen of your phone:

☑️ Go to Your Internship in Crane City


Tapping the prompt will bring up the Maps app and directions to what is apparently your internship! And it looks like it’s in the same format as other checklist quests–aka, it won’t stop beeping until you complete it.

If you don’t want to go crazy from notifications, you'll simply have to go out and explore the big city. Maybe you have to go and work the concessions stand at the movie theater, which appears to be showing Shrek and Cats if you want to sneak into a showing, or you get the ever coveted position of cat cafe barista. Perhaps you’re suddenly a neurosurgeon! Wow! Don’t fuck it up, guy! While you do get compensated for your work, it seems like an amount gets automatically deducted for your Duocaeli subscription. Uhhh, is that legal? Apparently.

With Pride currently underway in Crane City, the jobs are also just a little bit more vibrant. You can help manage the parade if you want to, or have a job as a sexy, sexy flag bearer. Everything in the city glistens with festivities, whether it be raucous parties or other joyful celebrations.

> 3. ELEMENTAL ECCENTRICITY

As expected, learning new things comes with a few unexpected speed bumps. For those who attempt to practice with their new elemental magic, whether it be in the world of Duocaeli or within the confines of Dodo’s walls, they might feel a sudden surge of power course through them. Is it more refined control? Improved strength? Hm, it feels a little bit more like…

—Oh. No.

For characters aligned with Fire or Earth: Your emotions are just a little bit stronger now–but also a little bit out of your control. While everything feels inherent to you, it also feels like everything is turned up to 11. Oversensitive? How dare you! Say that to my face! …. Well, hopefully it passes quickly.

For characters aligned with Water or Light: Nothing’s amiss here–it’s just unbelievable that you are currently existing as you are, and no one is holding your hand or giving you a hug right now. Some might call it being a little bit touch starved, but physical contact should be normalized, you know? A punch can be a touch, too, if that’s more your style.

For characters aligned with Wind or Darkness: Well, thank god you’re not dealing with anything quite as bad as the others–no, you just find that your words are flowing a little bit more freely. A little more honestly, even. Hopefully you don’t have all that much to hide, but you know, some vulnerability can be good for the soul.

These effects can suddenly surge and hit you at any point during your day! They're temporary, but always sneaky :)

OOC Notes

Our Reserves open tonight at 11:55 PM EST —drop in and let us get excited for you!

Also, everything from BETA TESTING 0.1 is still available to play with. Feel free to use old prompts and dungeons! Also, during Beta Testing, we'd like to remind players that we're accepting any and all feedback that could help us improve the game before official start.

hasteful: (➛ now even though they're eating)

[personal profile] hasteful 2023-02-07 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
[mood i have so many icons of buzen being affectionate with gous and i use literally all of them constantly

but he doesn't really mind when matsui gets comfy for a second - when he tucks his face into buzen's shoulder then buzen moves in kind, nestling his face against the side of matsui's hair, doting and affectionate. the gous move in response to each other and if matsui seeks comfort, then buzen always so readily gives]


I'm holding you to that.

[ - that matsui will want to stay with him. he wants to believe it'll be strong enough to win against the whispers of darkness and trauma that linger.

but he'll just as easily let matsui pull away and hold his hand instead, walking along with him. buzen nods at the indication of the light - and hums thoughtfully when he feels a whisper of wind begin to move through the forest]


Ah... breeze feels good.

[he does like the wind...]
sanguinary: (pendulum)

[personal profile] sanguinary 2023-02-07 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
[THE CONSTANT SLOWLY MOVING WEIRD NEBULA OF THE GOUS...

He's walking a little closer to Buzen than usual partially because it's the safest way to proceed in the darkness and partially because he's still in a clingy mood (when is he not) a clingier mood than usual. The breeze makes his nose wrinkle a little, but he's come to accept the wind begrudgingly as something that reminds him of Buzen. Except winter wind, that can fuck right off.]


It really does smell like rain, though... But I don't recall seeing any clouds?

[And PEER AS HE MIGHT, he sure can't see anything at all through the canopy right now. At least there are no more errant enormous roots directly in their path so there's no more stupid tripping shenanigans afoot.]
hasteful: (➛ please don't go away)

[personal profile] hasteful 2023-02-07 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, maybe the wind is carrying it to us... Haha, would Ame-san call this a type of seasonal feeling?

[he's always thinking about the other gous even as matsui holds his hand so tenderly... but buzen will go forth and start to follow the wind's direction! because it's the best idea he has right now,,]

Maybe the wind will show us where the sky is.
sanguinary: (lilith)

[personal profile] sanguinary 2023-02-07 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
[The way he doesn't even MIND because this is just what Buzen does and it's endearing... And also because he's soothed constantly now knowing that he doesn't have to give up lap rights to one of the others.]

Perhaps, though I think it might be a misplaced seasonal feeling...

[ALSO HE IS NOT SURE IF THIS IS HOW THE WIND WORKS but he's going to fucking follow Buzen anyway because what's he gonna do otherwise? Not follow Buzen?? Preposterous. So a-tumblin' through the underbrush they go... In A Direction, Because The Wind Said To.

He will get tired of following the wind very quickly if it doesn't bring them back soon though, the punk. But in the meantime:]
--Ah, how are the flowers doing? [THEIR MISSION.]
hasteful: (➛ should this be the last thing i see)

[personal profile] hasteful 2023-02-07 08:10 am (UTC)(link)
It does seem a little lost.... Well, that's okay. The wind will always find where it's meant to go.

[which is why they're following it! buzen truly will just travel far and wide the second that you let him, guided by impulses that he chases because he doesn't stop long enough to question them.]

I think they're okay!

[he'll use his free hand to tug one of them free of his jacket pocket, showing it off to matsu in its little glow....]

If they lose their light on the way, I wonder if we can make them shine again by being nice to each other? Or maybe we can sing or dance...

[take their gou show on the road]
sanguinary: (benevolence)

[personal profile] sanguinary 2023-02-07 08:41 am (UTC)(link)
[He really does just go wherever the fuck HELP... At least Matsui doesn't mind wandering around all the hell over everywhere with him (for now) (give him like a day and he'll start to get cranky about not being able to take a bath).

But he'll lean in to peer at the little flower, reaching out with his free hand to gently touch a petal.]


Mm, we could try. They still seem vibrant for now, at least... They're quite strong for being so small, aren't they?

[Spoken with a fondness. If only they'd collected enough to use as a makeshift lantern...]
hasteful: (29)

[personal profile] hasteful 2023-02-13 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
[fussy sword who likes to be clean and covered in blood.... but buzen will just laugh a little when matsui boops the flower, grinning easily]

You really like 'em, huh Matsu? [buzen will glance back in... the direction that he thinks they came...] Hmm, maybe if we find ourselves all the way back we can pick some more and keep some in the room...

[they'd need to learn how to tend flowers really fast but buzen would do it for matsui....]
sanguinary: (naruhodo)

[personal profile] sanguinary 2023-02-13 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah that's him...a sword of many paradoxes...

Also the idea of Buzen tending to flowers is almost more appealing than the flowers themselves. A CUTE MENTAL IMAGE...]


Some flowers would brighten it up a little more. I wouldn't mind that. [It's the kind of brightness he likes, as opposed to BLINDING MORNING SUNLIGHT THROUGH THE WINDOW. Just a soft lil glow in the night...]

But if we loop back around, we might have other things to worry about.
hasteful: (➛ don't say no; no)

[personal profile] hasteful 2023-02-13 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
[buzen would truly put the flowers in little pots and then try to press his ear to the soil to try to know if he's doing it right. but he would really do this all so matsui can get the flowers he likes...]

Hah, that's true. Well, whenever either of us is back in the area then... let's get extra to bring home!

[their cute little dodo room with glowing flowers until they're separated.... matsui's domestic fantasy only enhances over time]
sanguinary: (placid)

[personal profile] sanguinary 2023-02-13 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
[THE DOMESTIC FANTASY HE DIDN'T KNOW HE NEEDED UNTIL HE HAD IT... Once he loses it he is going to go back to his box.]

Mm, alright. [He's considering heading back on another mission just to get extras now...

But!! Setting their stupid domestic room with soft glowing flowers aside, the forest canopy starts to thin out a little overhead, letting in streams of light.]


--Ah, it looks like the trees have decided to be more merciful. [Kuwana's ghost is speaking to them.] I can see further ahead, now.

[The PROBLEM IS... nothing ahead looks familiar.]
hasteful: (➛ we can go where our eyes take us)

[personal profile] hasteful 2023-02-13 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
[matsui does this mission again with someone else and i hope it's just as easy of a time :)

but buzen will glance overhead, laughing a little bit.]


Good, good! Then we'll probably get back eventually - even if we have to go around the forest so the trees don't trip us up again...

[he is SO OPTIMISTIC for NO REASON. naming him leader was such a bad call. also because i've decided they should get SUPER LOST they're heading toward the dandelion fields............

there is the sound of a whale overhead in the distance, but i don't think buzen or matsui knows what a whale is so,]
sanguinary: (oh?)

[personal profile] sanguinary 2023-02-13 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
[it will not be

ALSO STOP LISTEN HE'S THE BEST LEADER. He's the only leader Matsui would follow unless they are government assigned, like team captains.

But also yeah he doesn't know what a fucking whale is, so he's just blinking at the noise, looking up toward the patches of sky becoming steadily more visible.]


—What is that?

[There's an ominous rustling... Or just the rustling of wind over the treetops up ahead as something large swoops on by.]
hasteful: (18)

[personal profile] hasteful 2023-02-13 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
Dunno! Stay close.

[but buzen will make sure the flowers are neat and secured in his jacket pocket as they begin to head out past where the treetops line..... ahead of them are the assortment of floating little islands in the sky, and the proper trees are traded for huge, towering dandelions. buzen's eyes already light up, curious over a sight he's never seen before -

and then the sky turns dark overhead as a wind whale just comes swimming on through, humongous and looming]


Whoa! Matsu! Look at that!

[ - and buzen's curiosity just sort of propels him forward, his feet automatically picking up in a burst of tempo as he goes to chase after the wind whale's shadow]
sanguinary: (there are branches in your eyes)

[personal profile] sanguinary 2023-02-13 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
[STAY CLOSE he says and then starts to run because he caught the zoomies and wants to chase a wind whale. God. Matsui loves this dingdong so much.

Which is to say, he'll stay somewhat close as they venture out into the dandelion fields - even he's distracted by the sights here, considering how foreign they are. GIANTASS DANDELIONS... FLOATING DANDELION ISLANDS... The whale also gets a quick look, though it's more the Battle Reflex of "something just darkened the wholeass sky and it's probably bad". His expression softens a little when he realizes it's some bigass sky creature?? Wild.

He will let go of Buzen's hand so he can go chase the shadow, since he doesn't want to RUN.]


I've never seen anything like it before... [ANY OF THIS. Wandering over toward one of the dandelions to pat its giant stem...] They're more like trees, aren't they?
hasteful: (29)

[personal profile] hasteful 2023-02-13 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
[MATSUI REALLY SAID HE'LL LET GO OF HIS HAND RIGHTS BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT TO RUN - but since they're no longer in the confusing forest path, buzen assumes it's okay if he nyooms ahead this once. he will just outright follow his zoomies then, laugh trailing behind as he tries to get his shadow to fall in line with the whale's....

only when it does, and he gets to see the big creature from underneath, does he laugh again and then immediately turn around to come back to matsui like the dumbest boomerang of all time. he's delighted! it shows!]


Yeah, they're huge! And look at the ones in the sky - I wanna go up!

[just imagine all the things they can see from that high....]
sanguinary: (only the gous get these smiles help)

[personal profile] sanguinary 2023-02-13 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
[YEAH WHAT DOES HE LOOK LIKE, A JOCK? A JOCK WHO RUNS FOR FUN?? Absolutely not. He'll watch Buzen nyoom off with no small measure of fondness, though, making sure to keep an eye on him in case the whale fuckin lands or something and he needs to be saved from a crush injury OSHA violation.

But no, Buzen comes back safe and Matsui finds the delight on his face EVEN MORE ENDEARING. His heart is always full to bursting... Reaching out, he gently brushes Buzen's windswept bangs back into place.]


If you want to go up, then let's find a way up.

[Fortunately they won't have to wait too long to figure it out, since a dandelion over to their left starts lifting from the ground with a rumble, taking a sizeable clump of ground with it. Matsui probably nearly TIPS OVER, but catches his balance on the stem of the dandelion he'd been patting.]

Hm. Shall we?

[He will run to catch this dandelion... ONLY FOR BUZEN.]
hasteful: (➛ all of these lies)

[personal profile] hasteful 2023-02-13 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
[the way that buzen automatically reached out to catch matsui like it's second-nature, because it is, but the suggestion that matsui poses just makes him all the more eager]

Oh! Let's go, let's go!

[and then the outstretched hand will just go to reach for matsui's as buzen just fucking nyooms on his way to the dandelion that's beginning to lift off the ground. thEY GOTTA CATCH THEIR RIDE TO THE SKY FROM WHICH THEY'LL NEVER RETURN]
sanguinary: (hm??)

[personal profile] sanguinary 2023-02-13 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Thanks for making sure he doesn't go crashing over and bonking his head on the dirt, which he would probably also curse Kuwana for.

BUT HERE THEY GOOO he will do his best to keep up with Buzen even though he surely has a lower speed stat. THEIR SKY RIDE THAT THEY'LL BE ON FOREVER!! As the dandelion starts to lift further and peel away, shedding more dirt in its wake, Matsui will zoom on up to the side and reach for one of the sprawling roots. THE WAY HE ONLY HAS ONE HAND TO HANG ON WITH BECAUSE THE OTHER IS STILL HOLDING BUZEN'S.]
hasteful: (➛ you keep it in your pocket)

[personal profile] hasteful 2023-02-13 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
[KUWANA REALLY DOESN'T DESERVE ANY OF THIS -

but this is so funny. this is so stupid and yet buzen truly has absolutely no goals but a ) reaching the dandelion and b ) making sure matsui gets up there too. he has not thought about getting down. he won't until it's far too late.

so instead he'll just nyoom over, going to let himself hop onto the more solid patch of dirt since he does move just a bit faster. but it's fine! he's holding matsui's hand! so when they start lifting up, up, and away and matsui clings onto one of the roots, buzen will just go to haul him up with their joined hands....]


I've gotcha, Matsu! C'mere.

[offering his other hand out now so he can literally just yank matsui to safety (next to buzen)]
sanguinary: (catch)

[personal profile] sanguinary 2023-02-13 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
[The way Matsui could have prevented this if only he didn't put his braincell down when Buzen was involved.

BUT NO HERE THEY ARE, ABOUT TO BE TRAPPED IN THE FUCKING SKY. JUST FLOATING OFF LIKE IDIOTS. Matsui will help Buzen help him up as best he can, kicking his lil feet so he can get better leverage as he pulls himself back to safer ground (next to Buzen).]


That was easier than I expected.

[HIS SPEED STAT. But he will settle on the edge of the dirt, seated for the time being and peering down. The ground is slowly but steadily getting farther away...]

This is taller than the Citadel's roof, wouldn't you say...?
hasteful: (➛ so give me a reason and;)

[personal profile] hasteful 2023-02-13 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
Seriously! I thought we'd have to shimmy up one of the stalks...

[but instead they just get to hitch a ride! buzen will let his feet dangle out over the edge of the dirt patch, playing with god's favoritism. he watches the ground get further away from them, laughing a little. once matsui's all settled, buzen will just squeeze his hand a little]

I'd say so. [swords and their high places... but buzen will just hum softly] .... wish we could find a way to show Ame this. Kumo too, but he'd probably get a stomach ache as soon as we got a few feet off the ground...

[hIS GOUS!!!]
sanguinary: (lilith)

[personal profile] sanguinary 2023-02-13 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
[SWORDS LIKE TO BE AT HIGH PLACES!! Sousei is having a heart attack somewhere.

His Gous, though... Matsui's expression is soft as he turns his attention away from the view to look at Buzen instead, because of course he does.]


If they had each other, he would be fine. [Ame to soothe his many tummy aches...] It's a shame that there isn't an easy way to capture this, though. Even a photograph wouldn't convey enough, I think.
hasteful: (80)

[personal profile] hasteful 2023-02-13 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
Right? Hmm...

[he tilts his head one way, and then the other way like he's trying to rattle around his last two braincells to find an answer...]

Well, we can think on it, I guess...

[it's not his strong suit,, but he'll shrug it off after]

At least we can enjoy it for now! It's nice... Getting to see all sorts of things like this.
sanguinary: (north winds)

[personal profile] sanguinary 2023-02-13 08:22 am (UTC)(link)
It is... I don't mind it.

[HIS FUCKING BRAINCELLS. BUZEN.

Neither of them have activated their braincells. Matui turns his attention back to the lowering horizon as they go up and up, peering out over the forest they'd just been LOST IN. The whale Buzen had just been chasing is still floating through the air, now closer than before, and he nudges Buzen gently with his elbow.]


You could probably say hello to your new friend face-to-face like this.
hasteful: (➛ we can go where our eyes take us)

[personal profile] hasteful 2023-02-13 08:31 am (UTC)(link)
Do you think so? I wonder if they can understand me.

[and he'll just grin back - he really doubts it, because even buzen knows his own limits but it's clearly not going to stop him from trying. so he'll raise his free hand by his mouth to try to amplify his voice]

Big-san!!! [that's the best he's got] Big-saaaaaan!! Helloooooo!

[and then he'll send that same arm into the air, waving wildly to try to catch the wind whale's attention.......

it doesn't say anything for a moment....

before it just lets out another booming, echoing whale noise. it was probably just a coincidence but. hewwo]
