The man, growing bored, forms an energy ball in his hand and begins to play Hackey Sack with it.

The young child, sits down on the seat, not standing atop it now and waits for the helicopter to land, looking a little nervous hiding in his jacket. Looking to Evan for reassurance a lot.


West doesn't notice the newcomer either, just continues swimming down after. "You hid something down there?" He questions, pointing down at the gleam.


Jackson just continued to swim on the surface, looking around and seeing the drone drive away he giggles to himself with a idea as he took in a deep gout of air and swam under the water, diving down to have a look where the others went; unlike them he couldn't speak or breath down here though.

What appears to be another similar drone from before fades into existence near the newcomer playing with the energy.


(Huh. Some kind of weird powers. Is he related to that guy I saw back then in those orange clothes?)

As the helicopter starts landing, Evan goes over from its front seat to the back seat, and hugs the kid. "Everything should be alright."

The helicopter door opens, and Evan tries to guide the kid out while holding hands. A few more drones appear somewhere around the helicopter's vicinity in case of an attack.

Frinn just gives West a bewildered look.

"Uhh, what?"

Then, he sees the gleam.

"...No. I didn't even know that it exists, so."

He heads down towards the very bottom, waving at Jack with a smile, and he begins to carefully dig away, using his hands and his tail fin to expose the object, which appears to be some kind of silver chest.

He notices the drone, and "puts down" the energy as though it were a ball.

"Hmm? What're you?"

West swims down to the deep as well and looks at the chest, confused. "Sunken treasure in a lake?" He jokes, looking the chest over and examining it with Frinn. His device on his wrist scanning it automatically.

Jack continued to swim down deeper, he wasn't as good as the other two but he was pretty amazing still, he waves back seeing he got attention. His brother didn't notice.


The young boy looks pretty freaked out as he's approached but a few seconds into the hug he calms down and returns it, pretty warmly actually resting his head for a second against his arm.

After, holding Evan's hand but mostly hiding behind him the rather young kid, bright red hair and bright blue eyes looks around, having left the chopper with him. "Where is everyone..?" He looked confused at the fact everyone in the water before had dived under and he couldn't see them.

With his walkie-talkie to his mouth, Evan begins to speak through the drone.

"Hey there! This here's called a drone! Evan here, speaking through this, see the handsome man coming outta the helicopter? That's me!"

He waves in the direction of the man, as he then grins.

"So, I made this drone and this helicopter... outta thin air! Yeah, I can make any fantastic flying machine, planes, helicopters, airships, you name it, I have it!"

Turning towards the kid, Evan responds. "They've gone underwater for a short swim!"

He then calls out towards the water as he waves, putting on a dashing smile... then sighs internally as he probably knows they wouldn't see him.

"Hey! I'm here now!"

The scan would be blocked, interestingly enough. It appears that there's something about the chest that actively interferes with scans.

Frinn, meanwhile, just shrugs, moving to lift the chest up. It's a simple chest in appearance, with floral designs made of thin gold. It has a complicated lock, and it seems that it can only be unlocked with a certain key.

"It looks pretty," Frinn mutters, and he looks at West.

"Maybe we should check this out on the surface."

"Oh, so... Not a robot. Just checking. So you're a magic user? Or do you have a mattergenner on hand like me?"

The young boy nods slightly "Underwater? That makes my ears and nose go funny." responding putting a hand to his nose in demonstration, he looked a little confused at why they'd go under.

He peers over at the other guy, the one Evan greeted, looking rather scared at the stranger and hiding behind Evan some more.


West looks to his Datadeck on his wrist as it lights up with results holographiclly underwater, looking at them he nods to Frinn, "Sounds good. I've got this side." He replies going and grabbing a side of the chest.
He peers up and see's Jackson and shakes his head. "Go back up please."

Jackson underwater pouts, crossing his arms a little annoyed before wanting to release a sigh and swimming back to the surface, going near the shore and suddenly making a splash up besides the boy and Evan.


The boy yelps, hiding again and if the water splashed far enough, avoiding it using Evan as cover as he peers around though he doesn't look as scared of another kid, admittedly a lot older splashing up than of the random stranger. Waving, nervously.

Jackson just waves back happily. Then looking over to the stranger on the shore, Jackson waves out more. "I do magic!"

As Evan walks towards the shore, he waves, putting on his dashing smile.

"I'm well, just a human with some weird powers! Most probably got it from some alien device that was found in my country!"

He then turns towards the kid with him.

"Ah, yep. One needs diving equipment to do that. I try not to dive, though, it's unhealthy to do so before flying."

Yeah, bends. Not fun, and actually deadly.

Then, Jackson exclaims, prompting Evan to ask curiously with Hand Behind Head. "Wow! You mean, like the ones those stage magicians do?"

"Huh. I guess popping up planes is a weird power."

He turns to Jackson and shouts,

"What kind of magic?!"

Frinn looks at West, nodding thankfully.

"Thanks!"

Then, he begins to swim to the shore, carrying the chest with relative ease. Once they're at the surface, he will haul it to the ground, before moving to sit on some rocks himself, still not taking human form. He occasionally splashes his tail around, chuckling a little in amusement. Then, after a moment, he looks at the chest.

"...The thing's locked, huh."

Jackson shakes his head. "Nah, real magic! Like break physics kinda magic!" He confirms, that Evan's guess was wrong cheerfully and defiantly. At the strangers question he continues. "I do summoning a lot. Oh and like I have fire and ice magic too!"

The young boy using Evan as cover shrinks into his jacket. "Ooh that bad. That mean they cant ride in your stuff now or they get hurt." He seems pretty worried by the idea of people getting hurt, holding Evan's hand tightly.


West swims up and puts it to shore, though he looks a little uncomfortable and goes back to at least floating on the water as he stares at it. "Yeah, needs some key. I cant tell what's inside either, its shielded." The very mature seeming, mid-teen lets out, as he stares art the advance computer thing attached to his arm.

Jackson scrambles to land to rush over to the chest to have a look. "Cool!"

The man's interest has officially been piqued. He tells Jackson,

"Fire and Ice magic? Like, total control, or you just sort of shoot it at people?"

"Wow! Summoning? So that means you could make fantastic flying stuff pop outta nowhere like I can? That's... amazing! How'd you get that?"

There's genuine excitement from an appropriately shocked Evan, no sarcasm. He then looks downwards at the kid and nods, talking a bit softly.

"Yeah... It'll take a few minutes before they can-"

There's a pause, as he does remember that those two... have nonhuman or not completely human biology.

"Wait, I'm not even sure how merman, or part-fish biology would experience the bends."

"Darn... wonder if I can unlock it..."

Frinn tilts his head, picking the chest up and examining it. Then, he looks at Evan and the boy, shrugging.

"I'll be fine. The level of pressure change I'd need to suffer the bends would be the level that would make humans undergo explosive decompression."

Jackson stood tall and proud at all of this, dripping with water from swimming but he seemed to like the attention. "Both!" Is his response to the initial question as he rushes over to the bushes where his equipment was and draws out handful of what seem like plastic or partly metallic thin playing cards and rushes back holding them up.

"These are spellcards and monster cards!" He points to small plastic device, that looks like a bit of a toy especially how its brightly coloured. "That's my reader. It decodes the cards and can cause magic really fast. I got all sorts of different cards. So yeah, I can just make stuff appear!" He seemed very enthused and excited talking about this.


The young boy holds Evan tightly. "How their 'what', would work?" He seemed confused, peering around at everyone including the merman, but he seemed a little glad nobody was paying attention to him other than Evan really. He shook his head to the side, his red hair flopping about wildly which made him giggling lightly despite his fear. Evan was keeping him safe.


West looks over. "Part Haline, not part fish. Anyway i'd be fine, i'd need to dive deeper than that before having to worry." He did examine the boy a little, and the man asking his little brother questions, as well as Evan curiously but decided not to say a lot more, just let his little bro show off; unless someone tried something ofcourse.

"What's in that chest?"

Evan grins when he realizes that those two... wouldn't get bends easily. All the better more to do flying after diving, then!

"Oh! That's a relief then! Guess it's possible for both of you to get a ride on one of my flying machines even after a dive!"

He does a happy fist-pump.

Evan grins, then looks towards Jackson in awe. He's really really excited, since well... he just found people who can make stuff pop outta nowhere like he could do with airplanes!

"Oh. My. Gosh. You've got stuff that does that? Well, that's definitely something way outta what I and a few others in my world can do!"

He then pats the redheaded kid, then kneels down and smiles to comfort him and answer his question. "Biology. Simply put, how their body would work."

"Now that I'm curious... what exactly is a Haline, really?"

Frinn then looks at the man wearing orange, glancing at the chest.

"It's just a chest I found at the bottom of the lake, to be honest. It's locked, though."

He shrugs at Evan.

"It's normal merfolk biology. Given how we tend to swim from the depths to the surface, well, yeah, it's pretty needed."

West smiles at Frinn and starts answering as he floats along. "Well they're amphibious pisci-centaurians similar to yourself in some ways, thou-" West then turns and opens his mouth and water sprays out like a small water gun, then rolls back over. "Apologies had water in my lungs. Anyway, they're cold blooded dwellers at the depths, multiple tentacled appendages as well as a bioluminescent source on a 'lantern' to give you some idea."


The redhead boy flinches then relaxes, and rubs his head into Evans hand a little as he's pet. Him kneeling down helped comfort him a little though, as he nodded. "Okay. They keep using weird strange words." He expresses his confusion to Evan, looking over and staring at Frinn a little.


Jackson still looked proud. "Yup! It's magic after all, the reader accelerates it so its not slow boring rituals but something that can be done really fast!"

"Don't worry, kid. I'm sure you'll learn more of those words as you grow!" Evan pats him again.


Evan nods at Frinn, before looking towards the chest.

"That's a pretty good and very plausible explanation, actually! And whoa... Halines sound awesome!"

(So, what's inside that thing? Is it safe?)

The drone earlier tries to inspect the chest more closely via a zoom function.


He then looks towards Jackson and especially the machine.

"Oooh, so it's possible without the machine too, but the device makes it faster! Cool stuff you've got, bro! You able to summon something, or is it too dangerous here?"

Frinn just nods at West.

"Like Abyssal Merfolk, then... eh, I'm more of a merfolk that lives in normal depths."

He shrugs, before looking at the man.

"...I don't think I should break it."

Finally, he turns to the drone, just showing the chest off. As usual, the chest is an ornate silver one with floral designs made of thin gold, with a rather complicated lock.
