“Man, need to find an actual job now. Say, you said your name was Cain right? You got any work you need done, or know anyone who does?” [i]I had been ‘investigating’ for the previous owner of the deli. It was just me walking around the city looking for anything occult that may be happening.[/i]
-
“Well there’s something on with the sailors down by the docks. That’s about it I’m afraid.”
-
“Damn. Where are you from by the way? I haven’t seen you around here before and you seem to know her.”
-
“I can’t really pinpoint that exact location. I only know Josephine because she’s a patron, actually she’s the only one.”
-
“Of the deli? I mean I’m here too. Unless you mean some other thing in which case what is it and is it magic related?”
-
“Yes, I’m referring to the deli.”
-
“Damn. Wait. Is the Deli magical in any way?”
-
“No it is not.”
-
“Ughhh... damnit. I came to London to find more magic and the only thing I’ve found so far is a weird guy in a basement, a midget wizard using fake magic and a love of bagels.”
-
“Well from what I can gather there’s something that uses magic near the docks, it’s annoying the sailors.”
-
“Wait, why didn’t you lead with that?” [i]Naturally I ignored what he said next, then ran out the door headed for the docks. Problem is this is London. Half the city is made of docks.[/i]
-
*You hear what seems to be singing coming from nearby.*
-
“Hmm... singing... water... must be a portal to Venice! I’ll stop them from their dastardly plans!” [i]It wasn’t Venice. Not to mention I immediately ran towards the singing, just kinda makes me wonder how I survived the 80’s.[/i]
-
*You arrive at the dock and the singing gets louder, it seems to be coming from the water.*
-
“Those fiends opened the portal in the water! Well, shit. Uh...” [i]Then I stood there like a lemon for twenty minutes because I couldn’t swim. I eventually settled on throwing icy spears at the voice until the “portal” closed.[/i]
-
*The portal didn’t close and the voice doesn’t stop singing, a portion of the water is glowing bright blue, you might have to go swimming.*
-
“Crap, crap crap crap. Uhh... maybe this?” [i]I stepped off the edge trying to make a raft of ice. That didn’t work and I began my first swim lesson.[/i]
-
*You notice something swimming in the water, it seems harmless, and the singing seems to be coming from it.*
-
“Hgauble ghasbdlgy!” [i]I actually don’t know what I was trying to say, but I began trying, and mostly failing, to swim towards the thing.[/i]
-
*It goes over to you and grabs your hand. It looks exactly like Josephine though it’s mostly blue with some yellow and it has blue eyes. It continues singing whilst helping you swim.*
-
“Ghehk ghooe.” [i]This I do remember, it was me attempting to, again talk underwater, but I was saying “thank you” man, I was really dumb back then.[/i]
-
*You can somehow breath, and talk, underwater now.*
-
“Is this a normal part of swimming? Probably. Say, who are you?” [i]I later found out, it was not, as I later got tossed in the harbor for cheating at cards.[/i]
-
“Adria, and you?”
-
“Names Abraham, I’m a wizard. Pleasure to meet you.”
