A Study of the Fauna of Termina [For kasumu_sekai]
The next time the younger Rydia sees the little Black Mages, they may seem a bit more prepared for a trip. At least judging from the new little grade-school-type backpacks they're sporting. Blaze had picked those up for them at the Nexus Mall, being of the opinion that visiting other worlds was a great opportunity to pick up Shiny Things and that it might help to have something to carry them in. He couldn't use a backpack himself, what with the wings, but he has no doubts about their usefulness.

Mistral, meanwhile, has questions about some of the sketches and samples in the building. The researcher should be able to answer any questions they have about this world's aquatic life and where to find various kinds of it. Including identifying the creature they'd found in the sands as a Leever.

Mistral eventually runs out of questions and goes to have a look at the baby Zora himself. "Most of the water monsters here sound like they'll be hard to catch unless you can swim. The Zora bring most of his samples to him. We might be able to find something called a Like Like on the beach, or we could try to find a Zora to ask to bring us things like the last time."

Which means back to the shore, if one can pull the Magelets away from petting the baby Zora. They've even pulled off their little gloves while they're doing this.

Outside, the Hiploop has taken to guarding one side of the square platform the building is on. It will skitter one way, look around, and then skitter back the other way. It can't really go anywhere because of the water.

He'll head up the coastline a bit, until he sees a cave-like passage not far ahead. Somewhere to the right, among the rock outcroppings in the sand, is what looks like a strange tube-shaped orange sponge nearly the size of a small house.
Since it's perfectly still at the moment, Mistral hasn't glanced at it or matched it up to descriptions he was given of a LikeLike. It's waiting for something to get closer.
no subject
Mistral compares this to what he was told earlier. "That must be a LikeLike. They swallow people and then spit them back out, stealing things from them when they do. They really like to eat shields, for some reason. Hmm. It doesn't really look like something that eats metal, does it."
He watches it for a bit, making sure the Magelets stay back and being careful not to get too close himself. "It's a shame it's so big, and that I don't think it's mobile..."

"Maybe it's for theater?" suggests Kaze.
"Hmm. I guess we could ask," says Mistral.
Several Zora are just staring a bit at the Leever and the Hiploop.

"Though it's getting hard to say if they'll be performing at the festival or not," adds another.

"It's a scary moon," agrees Juro.
no subject
Mistral just briefly facepalms at the Magelets' reaction, and says, "If's falling very slowly, so I think most of them would have the sense to evacuate in time." Then again, it's a moon. How big would it actually be once on the ground?
no subject
"We don't know," says one Zora. "It's very strange."
"There's an astronomer near Clock Town that might know more," says the other.
Mistral's mind is on things other than the moon. "Do you know of any way to move a LikeLike?"
The Zoras just blink at him for a moment. What an unusual question!
