No one really tells you how scary it is to fish in the dark. Everyone else seems used to it, but the thought of falling in is crippling.

I guess it must sound more profound in my head when I'm worrying about dying alone near a dock, doing something new. Sorry.

[The little worries that pop into your head when you stare into an abyss.]

I guess tea would be able to improve the state of things just a little.

uh.

so uh. what you're saying is that you got problems with fishing?

[satsujinki]

I have the same problems as any other beginner. My problem is that it's so dark--the water basically looks black, here.

[whereismypie]

AH

yeah

well, get used to it, stranger. the sun ain't about to shine around these parts. but if you're not grossed out by fairy puke, i actually know a way to sorta fix your problem.

[satsujinki]

It took me long enough to get that stuff out of my clothes as is.

I'd rather not go tinkering with it.

[whereismypie]

crap, so you already played around with the stuff. look, that's all the light we got until we convince mister Chimera leader to lay off this sunless douchiness of his

besides, i heard no reports of monsters or anything in the water, so don't freak out, pretty sure you can fish in there buddy

i just don't think fish are big fans of the dark

but what do i know

i'm Dean by the way.

[satsujinki]

I'm Shiki.

It's not really monsters that worry me the most. The fact is that it's really dark, so I feel like drowning would occur way too easily.

Practical fears are sometimes the worst.

...

look, if it makes you feel any better, i guess i can go fishing with you. it's not like we could use some downtime around here, between castle-storming and friggin' riots...

and that way you're sure that if you fall into the water, you got someone to fish you out, no pun intended

[satsujinki]

I wouldn't mind company at all.

So, I appreciate your offer. Would you be alright to visit in about an hour? I just need to check on my room before I return to fish.

[whereismypie]

awesome.

you hanging out at the abel inn, right?

[satsujinki]

Not normally, but I could go there if that's what you prefer.
