A Fish Out Of Water
The South Blue had been experiencing a more generous amount of rain these days, it had only been recently that the rain stopped. Now, with the prospect of better weather, trade ships and inter-island travel returned to regular scheduling, doing away with detours and delays.
Just now, a ship from Karate Island had arrive in Baterilla's main port town carrying a fair amount of tourists and merchants. More importantly, there was a young inventor among them; Jonas D. Jones.
As Jonas disembarked from the ship and along the harbor, he took a deep breath, taking in the different atmosphere this island held. Walking along, he chuckled as he witnessed some seagulls fight over some leftover food scraps. They might be goofy birds, but Jonas liked them all the same and goofy or not; he could learn something by studying them some time.
However, something was off. The town was a bit more quiet than usual; and it was noon! That didn't make sense! Very few locals were around right now. Most of the people that came on the same boat as Jonas looked lost and confused in response to this phenomenon.
Jonas folded his arms while furrowing his brow in thought. Something about this was fishy, and it wasn't him. 'Huh. This is weird. I better take a look around...' The young inventor mused as he wandered off to the town's main square.
The lack of people really bothered Jonas. He felt rather uneasy, and was distracted to the point that he was more concerned about the situation that he didn't exactly watch where he was going as he turned a corner...
