[If Sora was in awe of the sight, Kor was one step short of fanboying it. The image of the glowing scenery etches itself in Kor's mind, leaving him feeling marveled. He's always loved the sky and its majestic beauties, but who knew the ocean could be just as beautiful?]

It's... incredible...

[He sounds dumbstruck as he says that, barely able to find the words to describe what he's seeing. Another planet? That was a good way of describing it, it was almost otherworldly down here...]

So... We're looking down here?

[He slowly swims around the seabed, keeping an eye out for anything that might catch his eye.]

[oathkeeper]

Yeah, it's so incredible I can't believe it's grown from what we dreamed up at the start!

[Sora and Kor did not dream up any part of the ocean. Here or back then.]

The pearls are supposed to be in shells, right? So we should try to find some of those down here, yeah!

[Sora kicks off to search a little near Kor. His hands skim the sand trying to find any special-looking clams or oysters... There's got to be something that will be a sign that they're the right ones.]

Maybe a shell that looks like it's different from other ones?

[spirialink]

[Kor can't help but muse to himself how incredible their imaginations must be that they created not only an entire beach and ocean, but also so many incredible things beneath the ocean. They are truly amazing!

While Sora goes in one direction searching, Kor goes in another direction, skimming along the sand looking for anything that catches his eye. It's not long before he unearths (unsands?) something, holding up a shell.]

How about this?

[It was kind of weirdly shaped, and a little sparkly, but not what Sora's looking for.]

[oathkeeper]

[Sora looks up and he nods.]

That does look like a shell! I dunno I think we've gotta open it up to check. Uh, how are we gonna open it, though?

[He swims down a little ways away and finds another shell that looks similar. Both of the shells are a bit sparkly but they don't look sparkly enough...

As he searches through the sand he does find what looks like... an old drum? How did a drum get down here? It's not rusted, though.]

Hey! Look what I found! It's a drum? Like the musical kind?

[spirialink]

[Kor's floating there trying to pry it open with his bare hands. He's not having much luck with it, though.

Just when he gets ready to make a tool out of dreamotion to rip it open, he hears Sora call out. He drops the shell and swims over to him. A drum? That sounds cool.]

Whoa... It really is a drum! How'd it get down here? [Littering is bad...]

Do you think other instruments are down here, too? What if there's a whole band under the sea?

[They're getting distracted.]

[oathkeeper]

I wouldn't be surprised if there was, sea creatures and merfolk love using musical instruments.

[So maybe these drums aren't litter and actually belong to some mermaid living down here? They're totally getting distracted but Sora pats the drum anyway to make a little bongo bongo 🎶 noise.]

Haha!

[But just as he does that... the special shells glow to the beat.]

Huh?!

[spirialink]

Whoa!

[Kor's amazed, first by Sora's musical talent here. A+ bongoing, he always knew you had it in you. But then he's amazed all over again when the shells start glowing to the beat!]

D... Do that again, Sora! But even better this time!

[Bust out that drum solo.]

[oathkeeper]

Whoa? Huh?

[They might have stumbled on something important here! Sora pats the drum again and shows off his newly found bongo skills with a simple beat. And with each pat, the closed oysters and clams start to glow more and more. And one even pops open!!]

Hey! I think they like the music or something?!

[That might be the key to opening all of them!?]

[spirialink]

Whoa! Amazing! Super cool!

[It was the simple things in life that truly amazed Kor, like glowing shells.

Now he wishes he had his own instrument, like a sea guitar or something. That'd be cool. But instead he has to watch, what with there only being one drum.

He swims around, and goes over to the very first shell that lights up when Sora starts playing, giving it a poke. Maybe it'll do something?]

[oathkeeper]

[Sora will continue to beat his drum with a simple playful beat and the shells that Kor pokes do seem to glow and slightly open when he plays! ... But they won't open entirely!]

Hey, I think it's working! But uh, maybe we need to make more than just a beat?

[Kor might get lucky and get some sort of instrument to play. If they can find something else maybe they can create a melody and really jam.]

I wonder if we can find something else that you can play too?
