If anyone sees Sora trying to get in the water, please stop him.

I don't need him doing something dumb

That's what I'm worried about! And why I want to stop him!

[Oh good, people get it. But he also doesn't completely want to crush his other's dreams.]

Would there be a way to do it safely? With like, magic or something?

[octoblot]

It would take some serious magic to account for all kinds of factors: being able to breathe underwater being an obvious matter, of course, but there's also being able to withstand the atmospheric pressure the further down you dive, accounting for any unexpected currents so that you don't get pulled or thrown into sharp rocks, whether or not you can even see anything once you start going past where sunlight can't even reach...

It's not something I want to call entirely impossible, but it would be extremely difficult to do. Even most merfolk don't bother with attempting to dive so deep into the depths of the ocean, since darkness and atmospheric pressure can still cause harm to those unprepared.

[seasaltkeys]

Darkness we're pretty used to handling but the pressure, yeah.

I was thinking there had to be like a submarine or something. I was gonna ask around.

[He is making notes of all this, but he also really is a bit, out of his depth so to speak.]

[octoblot]

Submarines also have to take care to keep atmospheric pressure in mine. If one dives down far too deep and is thus exposed to pressure that the submarine is not built to handle... well. Let's just say that you would not want to be inside the submarine when that happens.

[please for the love of god do not reenact oceangate here in escordvi guys]

[seasaltkeys]

[He is taking many notes. He has a lot of questions to ask people.]

Yeah. That...that's really good to know.

I know there's a library on the Paladin island, so I'm hoping I can ask people there about stuff to.

[octoblot]

I wish you luck in your endeavor.

Also, if I speak with Sora again in the near future, I'll be sure to let him know all of this as well if he doesn't end up finding out already from you, or from checking your post here.

[seasaltkeys]

Thanks, on both counts.

Even if he does see it, he probably needs lots of reminders.
