[Elmer is attempting to catch dinner to cook for the Transports! He's in the water, away from everyone else, holding very still, attempting to hand catch a fish. Suddenly, he dives in and snags one, but it's a large prehistoric fish with teeth that latches onto his arm with its fangs.]

Gah! No! I'm not dinner, you are!!

[NEVER FEAR, YOUR ROOMMATE IS HERE TO PANIC. Ibin has been sitting in the shallows, wearing a pair of swim trunks and a light complement of medi-medi bandages-- just wrapped from wrist to elbow, instead of all the way up his arms and torso. When he sees Elmer's plight, he jumps up and frantically splashes his way over.]

OH MY GOD, ELMER! ELMER, LET IT GO! [He seems to have missed the memo that the 'letting go' is not really in Elmer's hands anymore. But in his panicked flailing he at least smacks the fish a pretty good one near the eyes.]

[keep_smiling]

It needs to let go of me first! [He's attempting to pry the jaws from his arm, but the fish is slippery and he's only working with one hand.]

[devilsfruitdoctor]

OH MY GOD IS THIS A BABY SEA KING, WE ARE SO DEAD IF THIS IS A BABY SEA KING! [So yeah, now Ibin thinks we're all about to get attacked by an enraged momma sea monster. He flicks the bandage on his right wrist twice, whapping the fish across the, err, nose?? with a hidden weight. With the fish hopefully stunned, he'll use both hands to try and pry it off.]

[keep_smiling]

A what? There's probably not others, it may have just got accidentally stuck on this side of the barrier! [The weight indeed causes the fish to lose its grip, and Elmer helps wrench it off with Ibin, and then drops it in the water. The fish takes off, but then again, so does Elmer.]

A-Aha... Thanks! Talk about irony.

[With the Horrifying Sea King of Doom vanquished, Ibin blinks at the fish, blinks at Elmer's arm-- sure enough, the wound is already closing-- and then just gives one more long, slow blink for good luck.]

[devilsfruitdoctor]

[After a second his expression cracks and he staggers back to the shallows, sitting down with a splash and howling with laughter.]

That-- was-- the WORST attempt at fishing I have ever seen! You nearly got eaten by dinner!

[keep_smiling]

[Elmer completely ignores his healing arm - he knows what it's up to - and joins Ibin in the laughs.]

Tell me about it! I didn't think something so vicious would be left on this side! Too bad, I bet it would have been delicious!
