<— perpetually frazzled assistant but she hides it well. Why is her boss always in peril!!

[⊱ᵛᴵᴼᴸᴱᵀ⊰ @shadowysabre]

Violet is just staring at the social media post wondering what the heck her boss is doing covered in tree shrews.

[⊱ᵛᴵᴼᴸᴱᵀ⊰ @shadowysabre]

|| now Violet and Webby both have information that if they just talked to each other they might figure out what really happened to Louie XD

[⊱ᵛᴵᴼᴸᴱᵀ⊰ @shadowysabre]

+ before about it not being Araxie’s fault? Why even mention that if it wasn’t somehow her fault..? How very peculiar.

“Look I think I should get out of here. I’m getting strange looks just for saying the princess’ name. I’m sorry I could not find out more.”

[⊱ᵛᴵᴼᴸᴱᵀ⊰ @shadowysabre]

She blinked rapidly as her brain worked to process what he was saying. Painful fire?

“Wow.. so you went to the real underworld then. I won’t press you to relive that.”

However at his lie the girl still held her suspicion that something was off. Why had he been so adamant +

[⊱ᵛᴵᴼᴸᴱᵀ⊰ @shadowysabre]

+ for Louie recently.

Violet sighed.

“This is certainly a twist I never anticipated. And Louie you know I do not find anger productive.

But hold on..”

Her tone suddenly filled with suspicion.

“What does the princess have to do with this mer monster?”

[⊱ᵛᴵᴼᴸᴱᵀ⊰ @shadowysabre]

“ . . . “

The hummingbird assistant was stunned. Did she just hear him right? Perhaps she had water in her ears. No.. as wild as it sounded, she had to embrace the unknown like a true woodchuck would. And it did oddly make sense, with how apparently Mervana had held a memorial +

[⊱ᵛᴵᴼᴸᴱᵀ⊰ @shadowysabre]

+ mermaid had left.

“Louie?? You still there?”

Violet panted, climbing out of the water.

“/What/ is going on?!”

[⊱ᵛᴵᴼᴸᴱᵀ⊰ @shadowysabre]

Violet on the other end of the phone could be heard explaining herself to what sounded like a curious Mervanan.

“Yes sorry, I am here on behalf of Louie Inc. The company leader has important matters to be looked into.”

Angry shouting would follow. The mermaid seemed upset +

[⊱ᵛᴵᴼᴸᴱᵀ⊰ @shadowysabre]

+ by the mention of Louie, and had whacked Violet with their tail into the water. Her phone fell on the rock.

🐠: “How could you joke about Louie Duck so soon after his memorial! How shameful!”

Then were sounds of splashing as Violet swam to collect her phone. The upset +

[⊱ᵛᴵᴼᴸᴱᵀ⊰ @shadowysabre]

+ I’m not sure what to do if no one will really talk, I can’t even find the king.”

She was standing off to the side, not wanting to be overheard as she relayed her update.

[⊱ᵛᴵᴼᴸᴱᵀ⊰ @shadowysabre]

As she heard the voice of the green duck, Violet glanced at the ground. She didn’t like to have to tell him bad news, but it couldn’t be helped.

“I’m sorry. Everyone I’ve asked is vague, some act like they don’t even have a Princess, and others told me she’s been sent away. +

[⊱ᵛᴵᴼᴸᴱᵀ⊰ @shadowysabre]

+ great distances in instants.

But what she found out while asking around in Mervana was perplexing.

She decided to phone Louie.

𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜!

[⊱ᵛᴵᴼᴸᴱᵀ⊰ @shadowysabre]

Violet had not given much thought to the strange behavior in Mervana, that is up until her boss wanted to know more about it. This called for some serious, full effort digging.

And she was very well prepared for such information seeking missions, able to shadow teleport +

[⊱ᵛᴵᴼᴸᴱᵀ⊰ @shadowysabre]

+ hopeless task.

“Rest assured your valued customer will be located.”

She’s rather confident; unknowing of the complicated situation with the mermaid.

[⊱ᵛᴵᴼᴸᴱᵀ⊰ @shadowysabre]

The purple girl would give a nod of understanding, immediately to take out her notepad and jot down her current new task.

“Yes sir! Thank goodness. The librarian was beginning to get very mad at us.”

Phew, what a relief to have an excuse to get away from Webby’s seemingly +

[⊱ᵛᴵᴼᴸᴱᵀ⊰ @shadowysabre]

+ monsters have claws?! Almost all of them! I would much prefer a new task so I may escape that one.”

[⊱ᵛᴵᴼᴸᴱᵀ⊰ @shadowysabre]

“I’ve no clue, it isn’t easy to keep up on news with them. They aren’t that well known. I could try to look into it though.”

She’d then tilt her head, thoughtful.

“I’ve been helping Webby as well. She was looking to find research on monsters with claws. You know how many +

[⊱ᵛᴵᴼᴸᴱᵀ⊰ @shadowysabre]

This statement about his previous wounds would earn a wide eyed frown from his assistant. Geez that’s concerning to hear.

“I have not. Mervana had been sending people away and sealing themselves off to deal with some sort of safety problem until extremely recently.”

[⊱ᵛᴵᴼᴸᴱᵀ⊰ @shadowysabre]

The purple hummingbird would blink calmly at the screaming duck. If she hadn’t been so worried about his disappearance she would have felt bad about scaring him.

She’d sigh.

“Alright. Well, at least you appear uninjured. What are you doing at the ocean?”
