This Yusei thing is contagious

[ Anyone around the beach may notice some very white, round, tasty looking rocks in the sand. They even might be moving every time you look away, for whatever reason.

Care to poke/ throw/ lick stare suspiciously?]

[He just lost Jack. Great. Just great. One moment he's there, the next? It's amazing how Jack can somehow easily separated from anyone what with his eardrum-shattering voice and troll-like height and all, much less from Kiryu.]

...?

[Weird. He didn't remember seeing rocks like this one the beach before. He's going to bend down and pick one up!]

[goddesshand.livejournal.com]

[The rock seems warm in your hands, and you might notice a light vibration.]

[satiskhizein.livejournal.com]

...

Huh?

[goddesshand.livejournal.com]

[You might notice a particularly strong shudder in the rock as all the other rocks disappear.]

[satiskhizein.livejournal.com]

Eh-!?

[He's five seconds away from dropping it. Oh god, what the fuck was happening now!?]

[goddesshand.livejournal.com]

[Still lightly shuddering. Oh, did you see a small black beady eye pop out and then disappear just now?]

[satiskhizein.livejournal.com]

[...

Ok, he's just going to put the shell down...very carefully...]

[goddesshand.livejournal.com]

[That's very kind of you, being so gentile and all. The rock seems to break open to reveal...some sort of crab. It makes strange clicking noises at you.]

[satiskhizein.livejournal.com]

.........

[Ok. He's either a complete idiot for being afraid of a ROCK LOBSTER! mostly harmlesslittle crab, or he's hallucinating that he just saw a bunch of rocks disappear and also, a rock turned into a crab.

Well, only one way to find out. he goes to rub the top of the crab's...rock...head....back...shell...thing. Whatever the hell it is.]

[goddesshand.livejournal.com]

[He's going to allow a little rubbing, but then this crab will start to back up enough distance away so he does not give Kiryu a complete heart attack when he transforms.

There is a sort of contained explosion of sand and dust as this crab morphs into a human form that might be familiar to you. He's somewhat clothed, in a tan wrap held on by a faded red sash, and has various decorations that include a tattoo on his forearm that resembles a crab. His pale skin looks like it is made of white marble.]

[satiskhizein.livejournal.com]

!?!

[Forget a heart attack. Kiryu is convinced he's having a stroke. It's the only explanation. It must be.]

Yuusei?

[goddesshand.livejournal.com]

[Head tilt]

You know my name?

[satiskhizein.livejournal.com]

[He's just staring. This Yuusei...he just...but then he...and then...]

Of course I know your name. What the hell happened to you!?

[goddesshand.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, but I don't know your name. I normally don't do this, transforming in front of people, but it seems I'm stuck in this place...

[satiskhizein.livejournal.com]

Stuck here...

Ok. So, you're...really that white. And you were just that crab.

Good.

[goddesshand.livejournal.com]

You say you know me, but don't know what I am? [Have more confused head tilting.]

I am the sea goddess Calypso's servant. My most natural form is the crab you saw a moment ago.

[satiskhizein.livejournal.com]

This place is fucked up like that.

...

...

Yeah, the Yuusei I know is not...a crab.

[goddesshand.livejournal.com]

Oh, so there is another with my name and face in this place?

[satiskhizein.livejournal.com]

More like twenty of you.

[goddesshand.livejournal.com]

Interesting. In all the worlds I've traveled to, I've never seen anyone identical to myself in human form.

Are they also servants of the gods?

[satiskhizein.livejournal.com]

....Does a Crimson Dragon count?

[goddesshand.livejournal.com]

Crimson...Dragon...

I don't recall a god by that name.

[He get's a frustrated, faraway look.]

I can't communicate with Calypso in this place, does this Crimson Dragon reside in this place?

[satiskhizein.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he's in a kid named Rally. He's short with long red hair, looks like a girl. Might have red and yellow eyes. You can't miss him.

[goddesshand.livejournal.com]

Really... [Oh look, he's processing]

...well, I must thank you for being so helpful. What can I call you?
