As you find yourself spiraling down an existential concrete staircase like a tangled slinky hurled with great force, a flash of blue begins oscillating in your peripheral vision not unlike a runaway pendulum with nothing to lose.

You look up to find what appears to be an animate puddle standing in front of you, wearing clothes and a straw hat. You try and immediately fail to not let the confusion show on your face as you notice the living crab swimming [i]inside[/i] of her.

[color=red]"What-"[/color] You stop yourself. Maybe that's the wrong question. Given how you got here, making sense of every little thing isn't actually that big of a deal, and she may not even be able to give much of an answer. [color=red]"I've never seen anyone quite like you before. I'm new here, so could you tell me about this place?"[/color] You stand up before the allure of your seat's soft embrace convinces you to never stand up again. [color=red]...And about yourself?[/color]
