[Keimi's journal begins transmitting as a wave carries it onto shore. The feed continues on for a few minutes, showing nothing but the crashing waves lapping over the sand. However, eventually the water carries up something else. Reaching land, the form eventually reveals itself to be the journal's moss-haired owner. Her body squirms slowly, as if

[Robert thinks he recognizes that green hair - but, wait a moment. That's a human leg. If this is Keimi, she is certainly not in possession of human legs most of the time.

The lack of clothes isn't even a blip on the radar. In fact, it just confirms that she's human, for the moment, while simultaneously making Robert at least somewhat sure of her identity. So, tentatively, after the usual filtering:]

... Ms. Keimi? Is... i-is that you?

[Video] It's totally fine <3

[sea_king_bait]

[Keimi turns and looks up at the journal, still groggily laying on the beach. Great. More humans think they know her. She isn't sure what to think anymore. Her presence on the beach only made the humans come looking for her in droves. If only the Malnosso didn't turn her into a human, she'd just go back into the water and hide. But she can't do that now, so instead, she nods quietly at the journal.]

It seems you have had your s-species tampered with... [Robert blinks a few times more, just to make certain those are really legs and not the usual pink tail.

... Nope, definitely legs.]

Is there s-some method by which I... m-might be able to assist you?

[She shakes her head, sighing. She wishes people could help her. She wants to tell people that they can help her, but she has no idea how to communicate that fact. She reaches up and grasps at her throat, gripping it lightly as she stares into the journal, trying to communicate her current dilemma.]

[... Can she not speak or something? Robert decides to vary up his responses with writing. Let's see if she has a pen or something with her...]

Would writing be easier, perhaps?

[She quickly switches over to written form, scribbling out:]

Yes. I don't know what's happening to me.

It is likely another experimental effect from the Malnosso, knowing their utter barbarism. [Robert may be getting used to the kidnapping, as depressing as that is, but he'll never get over the hideous manner in which people are treated.]

Are you otherwise unharmed? I could come to your location, if need be.

I'm pretty sore, but I'm fine. I can't I'm not really sure how to walk.

[semper_cogitans]

If that is the case, I could come to assist you. [And maybe bring clothing for protection, though that's the only thing he'd bring it for, really. But no sense in letting her burn or something...]

[Oh Robert, if only we all could be as free-spirited as you. Keimi nods quietly into the camera.]

I'm near the teleporter to the beach, I think. Could you maybe help, sir?

[semper_cogitans]

[... Sir? That's new from Keimi. But he doesn't question it for now.]

Certainly, Ms. Keimi. I would be most willing to assist.

[After a few minutes spent gathering some simple, loose clothing - since it's Robert's, it's nice and bland, mute, androgynous clothing for the most part, like simple white or dark blue T-shirts and pants - into his familiar white cloth bag, and then he sets out to the beach teleporter, having gone there before for the purposes of swimming lessons at the self-same beach.

He materializes at the teleporter near Keimi, momentarily dizzy and mildly confused as he usually is with the rapid placement changes. He suspects at least part of it is his physics rebelling at the magic.]

... M-Ms... Keimi?

[Action]

[sea_king_bait]

[Keimi has, in the meantime, taken to covering herself in sand to avoid showing off her nude form to anyone else who happens to come across the journal. When Robert comes into sight, she retreats momentarily, before recognizing him as the man she spoke to moments ago.]

[Action]

[semper_cogitans]

[If he's weirded out at all by this, he doesn't show it, merely approaches Keimi almost cautiously. He's nervous, yes - he always is with new-ish people - but mostly he just doesn't want to be bothersome.

Placing the cloth bag nearby, so that she can access his contents, he offers awkwardly:] I a-apologize for anything inconvenience on, er, c-clothing sizing... I have never really had the opportunity to h-have clothes for other body sizes and types in my possession. [Though, frankly, Keimi is probably closer in size and shape to Robert anyway.]

[Action]

[sea_king_bait]

[She offers him a kind, if nervous smile. He didn't seem like much of a threat, and he did bring her clothes. Maybe she could trust him. Looking through the bag, she settles on a t-shirt and a pair of shorts, wiggling into them. The clothing fit comfortably, if a bit larger than what she is accustomed to wearing, but she expected it to be that way. Once dressed, she offers him a thankful nod and another smile.]

[Action] | ... that was supposed to be "any inconvenience", where did the "thing" come from

[semper_cogitans]

[The day Robert is a threat is the day the world explodes, seriously. That, and the fact he hasn't made a single negative comment the entire time on anything about this.]

Er, Keimi, do you perhaps kn-know any sign languages...? I, er, r-recently had the pleasure of conversing with a Ms. Ginia Solana, and I was able to u-understand her signing despite her using a very different s-sign language system...

... If not, please feel free to write in your j-journal if you wish. Though that m-may be prohibitive when walking... [Then again, so would signing if he was helping her walk by letting her lean on him or something.]

[Action] xD

[sea_king_bait]

[Keimi cocks her head at him. People can talk with signs? That would sure be interesting.]
