Yes yes yes yes yes YES!!! Forget partying. Parties stink. It's Lugia time now. In fact the only reason Ford isn't in the water immediately, safety be damned, is that he has to hold back his idiot invisible water chameleon. Wells is prepared to fight god and absolutely shouldn't given that he's a literal baby and can't even use moves.

So instead Ford's going to make a beeline to talk to the captain with something completely invisible and Very Angry tucked under one arm. After last prom he wasn't going to not bring at least one or two good fighters. Scylla knows Whirlpool and is not only prepared to fight god but high enough level to maybe actually hold her own, so she's a perfect choice to send out into the choppy waves.

As for ideas? Best guess is there's something in Lugia's usual nesting spot that drove it out and that's what has its dander up. Fixing that would involve trying to investigate the Whirl Islands, though, which is probably out of the question. The other option is Lugia is trying to drive the boat in a particular direction for some reason, which is both more interesting and more alarming.

That's what leads Ford to pacing back and forth around the ship's railing, trying to spot a pattern in the surf and the position of the whirlpools. Lugia is making the weather. Is it making the weather with intent?

Wells is still under his arm, squirming and wailing loudly. Father let me fight!!!
