[Kaito's Heart]

[A gust of wind rushes past you, so strong that you nearly stumble backwards from the force. You hear whispers in your ear, an unfamiliar voice saying, no, not here, not now, go back, before your senses shut off entirely]

[You wake up again to find yourself in a room]

[Sealed with tape, so easily opened]

[...Let's just... open these up while doing as little damage as possible. I just need to figure out which one of these is Kaito's...]

[Let's say she's opening a box in front of the mirror labeled "Diamond."]

[Inside, she finds a rather large diamond, along with several mirror shards. They look like memory shards, too]

[Well then, closing this box up again. I can't... seal it, but I can close it in such a way to stop it from opening on its own.

And matching up all the boxes to a mirror, and... Yes, let's stop for now. Next, time to climb the crow's nest.]

[The climb up is precarious. There's a rather strong wind that keeps blowing the rope ladder to and fro]

[But you reach the crow's nest, and wow! From here, you have a very good view of the caved cove. It also looks like you can walk out onto the horizontal slabs of the ship mast, if you were so inclined. There are plenty of ropes you anchor you, even if the trip would be treacherous]

[. . . but most importantly, there seems to be a small alcove in the cave walls to your right. You could probably reach it if you're brave enough to walk across the mast]

[Hm. I can see it, so...

...Lemme see if I can just teleport over there. I need to practice with that more anyways.]

[Sadly her teleportation powers don't work. If she wants to get to the alcove, she'll have to walk]

Of course not. That would be too easy, wouldn't it?

[Well, whatever. I got improved agility thanks to the swordfighting skill, let's see if we can manage this.]

[It's precarious, and she probably needs to grab a hold of the rigging ropes to keep from falling]

[. . . especially when a powerful gust of wind suddenly rushes past her, likely throwing her off balance and topping her over the edge if she's not careful]

[Yes. I'm not suicidal enough to be doing this without hanging on to something.]

[GOOD PLAN]

[The gust of wind dissipates as quickly as it arrived, and it's safe for her to start walking again]

[Then, let's... continue heading over there. Slowly.]

[You reach the alcove! There seems to be a trap door, of sorts, tucked in there. This one has a castle etched into it]

[It's secured with two chains and two locks]

[...Of course there's a lock out here. Well, whatever. Unlocking one with my key and heading back. Maybe to just the crow's next, though.]

[She successfully unlocks one of the locks! and successfully makes it back to the crow's nest, too]

[Then, let's see about heading back down to ground, and... back to the box? Can... We unlock it with this key? And if not, is there a way to get these locks off that... doesn't involve breaking them?]

[They're. . . they're plastic locks. They don't require keys]

[In fact she can just. Lift them off the box, really. Though as soon as she touches them, she can hear a splash from the water below. . .]

KARP KARP MAGICKARP!!

[a Magikarp flops from the water onto the deck, and the sheer and utter panic that fills Diz afterward is enough to make her scream]

[Gah! I am not used to panic attacks, no. I'm sorry everyone, I am going to be screaming.]

[The panic seems to intensify any time she looks at the Magikarp. It's just so. . . fishy. Fish are awful. Fish are evil]

[Why is there a fish on this deck]

[I'M BOLTING UP TO LOOK FOR THE SCREAMING]

What's going on?

I don't know, but for some reason that thing's terrifying!

[And I am really tempted to gut the thing but I don't have a sword. Why don't I have a sword?!]

...

It's Splashy Junior. It's about as intimidating as a... Well, a fish on land.

I know! But for some reason I swear it's plotting to kill us all!

...

Here, Splashy Junior.

[Picks it up.]
