Rooftops, dirty thoughts all I got is twenty bucks

Who: Mizuki
What: Bad ideas (aka releasing Seaborn into the River lmao-)
When: Like, idk, a day before the family meeting.
Where: the river
Warnings: mild body horror on the third prompt—

I. Nights so breezy, make it look easy
[ Whether you catch the glint of the luminescent lanterns in Mizuki's arms tentacles, or just notice the little guy walking through the Grove, or happen to see him him kneeling by the river and putting the crate down next to him as he takes a seat, he seems too focused to greet you. Rather, the very first thing he does when he takes a seat is start speaking directly to the river. ]

Excuse me, River Guardian? I hope it's not too much trouble, but I have some injured kin here, and We were hoping We could stay in these waters to rest and heal? Would that be alright with you? We won't disrupt anything.

[ He'll wait patiently for a response for the moment, and he'll start pulling out the lanterns one by one afterwards. He pulls open the top off of the lanterns that seems to take a while. They're incredibly sturdy, after all, meant to…??? Keep something inside, it looks like. These lanterns have a soft glow to them, but also seem to have something like black and blue goo or glue-y substance around the inside of it?

…Is there something moving inside them?

Actually, that question is answered fast, as Mizuki opens the first lantern and carefully pulls out a creature from inside. It glows faintly in some areas that also appear to be bleeding, and the creature seems to be some sort of inky black slug with tentacles. This one looks like that, anyway. Peering into the other lanterns you'll see they come in various amorphous blob-y shapes, some with tentacles, some without. Some with shells that mostly cracked and broken.

He carefully runs his hand over the creature, frowning a bit as he wishes desperately he knew how to use moon magic to heal things properly, before lowering them into the water for them to swim off into the current before he reaches for another lantern to repeat the process. ]
II. Knuckle cuts, pizza crust, leave a message on the bus
Mizuki here.

If anyone could make use of a couple dozen empty lanterns, let me know. I have a bunch I don't have any use for.

Also, if anyone fishes up something from the river that isn't fish like, please put it back in the water. Thank you!


[ There's a bunch of cute jellyfish stickers around the page. ]
III. Full moon howling, let's go prowling
[ And if you're not there for the Unboxing Loot Crate of the Seaborn, you may very well be there for supper time. Mizuki knows there's plenty of fish, but he both doesn't want to entirely disrupt the ecosystem here, and also is well aware that some of his kin here are much too hurt to actually hunt for anything on their own. Thus, Mizuki comes prepared, with… a knife and a cutting board? Hm.

If not approached beforehand, Mizuki will simply reveal one of his many tentacles from its camouflage and without flinching or any hesitation, he plants it on the cutting board and slams the knife down to cut it cleanly off. Afterwards, he makes sure to cut it into little bits. Like clockwork, the Seaborn critters in the water huddle closer to Mizuki, just below the surface of the water, and swarm the bits of flesh as he chucks them into the water. ]
