Chapter 03: Act I
The Little Mermaid: Act I—
§ instructions.
The first Act of our third campaign is underway! This is the designated log for all Main Scenes. Others are free to create their own toplevels for the Sub Quests, which are detailed below. Each Main Scene has their own unique toplevel and those cast into the roles are to thread their scene under each. All scene instructions are provided in the toplevels. There are also toplevels for each Sub Quest this time around, but players are more than welcome to create their own individual toplevel if they have something else in mind they would like to do.
As a reminder, characters will find similar information and instructions within their journals so they won't go in blind. Also to note, all characters will have all their belongings within them as well as the additional supplies provided to them by the Storyteller. As you know, everyone has undergone a special "mermaid" transformation upon arriving into the Book, but do note: characters in Main Scenes will have a second wardrobe change while acting the scene. Their merform will stay the same, but they'll have additional bits to add to their role. Outfits will be provided in the prompts themselves, and these outfits will only be in affect during the scene. The moment they leave the setting area, they return to their other wardrobe.
Finally, just to be clear, characters who are in Main Scenes are not immediately dropped in to their location and will have to travel to the "setting location" and then return. Threading all of that isn't necessary, but it's to help give a better idea that characters can take a break between scenes or wait a bit to help with other things like the Sub Quests.
Feel free to refer to the Game Notes for more detailed info as well as ask questions or clarifications.

"You're a really brave person, Shizuo-san... I'll try not to worry SO much, but... just remember that there are people that care about your well-being too. Okay?"
no subject
Doubt flickers across his features as he glances away.
"I wouldn't say that... Rather I'm not worth being called something like that."
He knows many others who are truly fitting of being called brave, thus he believes he shouldn't be placed on such a high stage as them.
no subject
"You say that just after you saved me from a swarm of sharks. Or went back out that night to make sure Hyde didn't hurt anyone else. And a dozen other things, at least."
Even if it doesn't quite register to her yet that SHE just saved him from the sharks too just now.

no subject
"I... really?"
And she really is asking. That's... the last word Kotori would ever describe herself with, or expect anyone else to. Hearing it from Shizuo, of all people?
no subject
"You were scared right? But you still tried to help me with that pot. Without it, it probably would have been bad, but...thanks to you, we were able to escape.
For me...I'm a coward, but I'm also used to fighting. But that's not the same for you. That's why, I think you were the braver one."
no subject
Um... wow. She almost wants to argue, but... the words really do touch her heart. It takes a second for her to gulp, and she face is blushing and looking down in humility... but there's a brightness in her eyes too.
"Th-thank you... I'm just... glad I could help you out for once, since I rely on you so much. You're not a coward, Shizuo-san..."
no subject
"How about we head inside before something else shows up."
no subject
She's left staring in awe until Shizuo says they should move.
"A-ah, right."
A soft gulp, though, as they begin their swim.
"Shizuo-san? ... Thank you."
And not JUST for saving her.
no subject
"Mm."
Just one of his usual quiet sounds of assent. He is unaware of how his words have impacted the younger girl, or that her thanks is for more than just what transpired. But he's satisfied that she seems to understand his own words to her and is content with just that.
