[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]

[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?!]
