Titania glanced to Mizu. "...I mean, I was gonna say the same thing for Naoko but she went off to get changed herself...Hm."
You know what? Maybe she should...you know. Be like dad and be helpful. Except that Mizu had her part of the whole thing covered. And she couldn't...turn back into Kazemon yet...
"...I can't help to provide privacy. I am truly an inept ruler." Titania sounded defeated. She then inHALED, regaining some of that smug fairy swagger before turning to Dio, and shaking the imp's hand. "Challenge accepted."
Naoko meanwhile came back from changing, wearing...the swimsuit...under her hoodie. "...Okay I'm back and why are the two little Digimon shaking hands?"
"Wager. Spirit of competition." Titania explained, before Naoko looked at Mizu. "...Woah. That's really...uh. That's really cool."
Had she never seen a Seadramon before? Maybe. It was way more imposing than the three midget ensemble that Titania, the Good Doctor and Dio (she was pretty sure she had heard that name in one of Haru's anime).

The Dark Lord couldn’t help but quirk an eyebrow as Mizu changed into Seadramon and coiled herself around her partner. It took him a good while to figure out why she was doing so, until the sea serpent said something about “ogling Yuki’s body”.
“Suit yourself Mizu, but the Dark Lord still does not understand your human’s need for privacy” Humans were such strange creatures sometimes. What was so wrong with not wearing clothing? Is not like Dio wore any. Plus wouldn't it be better to swim withouth any clothing? That way they wouldn't have to bother about it getting wet. Speaking of which...
"What would be the point Doc? You'd get your fur wet regardless."
But frankly, ever since he met Carlos the imp had more or less come to terms with the fact that humans were weird and hard to understand, so at this point in time it was a waste of time to ponder those things.
Luckily Carlos didn’t keep the group waiting, as after not much longer than a minute or two he was already making his way back to the group.
“Aight, sorry for the delay guys.” The man apologized as he joined back, now wearing a red swimming trunk that was long enough to reach all the way down to his knees. He had also taken off his white shirt and stored it into the duffle bag with the rest of the clothing; his reasonably well fit chest exposed to the warm sunlight of the beach. He didn’t have much time to enjoy that feeling however, as he couldn’t help but notice that first and foremost, there was now a large Seadramon among them. It didn’t took him long to figure out who she was though. “Looking good Mizu.” He said, knowing well how much the digimon liked being complimented.
The man’s attention was taken away from that, when he noticed his partner shaking hands with Naoko’s.
“Ah Christ, you didn’t just sell your soul to him, didn’t you?” He asked Titania, his tone half way between serious and joking. After all, this wouldn’t have been the first time that had happened. Dio simply rolled his eyes however, and was quick to dismiss that thought from Carlos’ mind.
“Relax idiot, we’re just settling on the bet.” Dio said, reassuringly?
“Ah, that’s…better? I guess?” Carlos shrugged, unsure. He had hoped the imp would have forgotten all about the competition by now. Oh well, as long as he paid using his own money.
Regardless, it seemed that everyone was now suited up to start the exploration. He glanced at the Seadramon. “So, are we ready to get this thing going or not?”

Mizu smiled at Titania, and tried to very gently pat her with her fin without exposing Yukiko. "'Ey, you care, that's all that matters, you'll be an amazing ruler in no time~" Next, Mizu winked at Carlos as he complimented her. "Excellent taste, stud~"
Eventually, Yukiko was done, and Mizu uncoiled around her. Yukiko in a swimsuit was an...awe-inspiring sight, to say the least. All that training she did made her muscles impressively large and defined. Her adorable blushy face was in stark contrast to it. "S-s-s-so, we're ready, then? Then p-p-please hold on to Mizu, she'll swim us out to the city, and once we reach it we'll split up! W-w-we'll keep in touch via Digi FM, ok?"

Well, human decency aside, Dio wondered why the Mikemon would need to wear anything in the ocean. After all, wouldn't he get wet anyway? "Well, I'm not talking about a swimsuit - I mean something more like a rubber suit, to keep most of the water out of my fur. I'm not looking around to carrying an extra few pounds of weight every time I get out to shake off." Right, the cat had a pretty thick coat of fur, didn't he?
Well, he'd manage, somehow. It didn't take long for the rest of the group to come back - Naoko still wearing the same hoodie as before, and Yukiko had a bit more 'tone' than the cat expected, especially with how reserved she was.
Ah well, couldn't be helped. Jokes between Dio and Titania aside - which might set the tone for the entire day - Mikemon was quick to take Yukiko's offer. Walking up towards Mizu, the feline approached carefully, approaching from her left side. About at her 'midpoint', he's move to climb up, holding securely to the left side of the serpent. "This work for ya?" No point being a nuisance to the 'ride', after all!

Normally Titania would be furious that she was called a ruler to-be...She was ALREADY a queen! How dare this snake... "...Can't be helped at the moment. But thanks either way. AND YEP. Bet's on now!" This could go well and it also could go awfully. Nobody knew which.
Meanwhile, Naoko was starting to doubt whether or not coming back towards everyone else was a good idea as Mizu revealed an incredibly well-trained Yukiko. "...Uhhhh..."
"...Hey, how come you're staring?" "NO REASON." Naoko just BLURTED out, whiiich...left Titania a little confused. She turned to Mizu and shrugged, speaking in a hushed voice. "Is this normal for humans?" Naoko meanwhile just hurried over to the Seadramon, grabbing on for the ride. Hopefully nobody could deduce she was -very much a fish out of water right now.-

The imp looked at the cat with an almost dumbfounded expression. Was there really such a thing as a suit to keep you dry underwater?
“Huh, interesting. I’ll have to make Carlos procure me one of those in the near future.” He said with a nod. Would he really have that much use for it? Probably not, but having more things never hurt.
Truth be told, even though Carlos was aware that Yukiko was, for lack of a better term, surprisingly buff for what her personality would suggest, he still had a bit of a weird time trying to wrap his mind around how shy she could be. Then again, he had just been called a stud by a sea serpent of all things, so weird was slowly starting to become the norm to him. Chuckling a bit at the returned compliment, he decided to pay stay quiet and pay attention to Yukiko unveiling the next part of their expedition plan.
Luckily they wouldn’t have to swim all the way there, as Mizu would serve as transportation there. Carlos hoped it would be a smooth ride, and Mizu wouldn’t take them on the digimon equivalent of a banana boat ride. Both man and impmon grabbed on to the right side of the serpent’s mid section, wisely staying far from the tip of her tail, where the most movement would occur regardless of how swift and careful Yukiko’s partner was.
“Ready when you are, Mizu.”

Mizu put the Doctor at ease. "All good, lil' fella!" Then she called behind her. "Everyone ready? Then let's go!~" Mizu had insisted Yukiko sat on her head, which the girl did. The sea serpent slowly slid into the water, and gently made her way towards Sunken Elysium. It was a smooth ride, Mizu made sure to not make any sudden movements or to go too fast. May be because of having 2 nervous wrecks on board! Eventually, the huge sunken city was before them! "A-a-a-alright, this is where we split up! Me and Naoko, we'll go east, Carlos and the Doctor will go west! W-w-we'll keep in touch via Digi FM, and we meet again on the other side of the city!" She then jumped into the water from Mizu's head, managing an impressive head dive, before resurfacing and waiting for Naoko to follow her.

Sheesh, right in the deep end, huh?
Brought much closer to the sunken city by the ease of which Mizu was able to take the group over, the cat looked over those glistening waves as the sight of those spires that poked through the surface drew closer and closer. Right at the south end of the city, Yukiko had declared that the group would be setting off, and with a careful nod, the Mikemon adjusted the scuba gear rested on his back. He pressed off the side, slipping right into the water, biting his lip at the difference in temperature.
"Well, hope you two are good in the water," Mikemon chuckled, treading easily enough as it was. "First things first, though, we should decide on a central point we can dock back to. Water-lungs or not, I don't think we'll be able to go too far below the surface..."
Huh. This little trip was trickier than the doctor originally thought!

East, east...Naoko was fairly certain that following along with the good doctor was the way to fiddle with your scuba gear. Titania would just grip onto the girl's back. Noticeable. Thanks to her damn fairy claws. Naoko took a deep breath to prepare before jumping off of Mizu and following Yukiko in. Right away? It's clear she isn't the best swimmer in the world.
But, she was competent enough to not be a dead fish. "A-Alright, so, east side...What e-exactly do we know about this place? If anything?"
"Probably the fact something sank it. Uh...I kinda wanna know what sank it." Titania piped up, seemingly unbothered by the water. Or...was she? Nobody could tell.

Now that they were closer to their destination, the imp (after readying the appropriate gear with the help of Carlos) was quick to jump into the water, making a large splash. After their excursion into Old Terminus, they had both found out (admittedly to the man’s surprise) that Dio was a pretty ok swimmer, despite looking like a furless cat. Hell, compared to the murky waters of the Old Terminus canal, swimming in the sea was child’s play for him. Also, hopefully there would be less Gesomons to worry about. Key word being hopefully.
“I say we dock back here if we need to, unless we find something better on the way.” Carlos mused, looking around a bit. They did have a small bit of dry land to stop and rest just close by, so if anything happened they wouldn’t need to swim too far to get back to safety.
“May the best team win. Which of course will be our team.” The Dark Lord said turning to the other four with a smug grin, prompting yet another eye roll from his partner. Well, at least he didn't call it "Team Dio".
“Good luck and be careful. See you on the other side.” With a small nod in their direction, Carlos swam to be closer to the other two digimon.
“Lead the way Doc.”

Yukiko nodded. "Y-y-y-yes, we dock back here, unless w-w-we meet on the end of the city opposite of this. G-g-g-good luck you two!" Then, she turned to Naoko. "W-w-w-well, what we know about this place is that it just seemingly rose from the bottom of the sea one day, a-a-and that it's apparently a city for sea-going Digimon. I h-h-h-hope we can find some artifacts telling us more about how undersea Digimon live...a-a-a-and if you're ever tired, y-y-y-you can hang on to me!" Yukiko blushed, and Mizu giggled. "Hehe, and if both of you are ever tired, I'll gladly carry you both! Now let's go!~"

Lead the way, huh? With Dio's confidence brimming and with a 'safe' point made with a bit of skyscraper - or, well, surfacescraper, I guess - to rest at, Mikemon gave a nod to Carlos. Well, there wasn't much else to be done:
"Make sure everything's good to go, then." He'd wait for the rest of the group as necessary, as the cat set his mask in place, flicking on a small light on the scuba gear itself. Once Dio and Carlos were ready, the doctor gave a dive in. On the surface, his wet fur might have made him look like a mangled rat, but once he was underwater, he looked normal as ever.
His plan at the start was simple: moving down the side of that building, he carefully shined his light over anything of interest: were there breaks in the building, alcoves to find? Maybe this very building they were scaling on would eventually have an entrance!

"...Something must've caused it to rise, then...Cities don't do that, generally..." Titania mused. This Seadramon ride was thought provoking. "I bet some kind of sea wizard did it!" The sad thing was despite how much of a joke that very statement sounded? Titania sounded 100% serious.
Naoko on the other hand gave Yukiko a nod. "A-Alright, yeah. T-that works. Uh...T-Thanks, both of you." Internally she was really annoyed at herself because damn it how can you forget how NOT to stutter? Bah. She just focused on holding on to Mizu while Titania continued to muse about the city.
"...Hey, Mizu, think we'll meet any particular seaborne Digimon here? Like...Uh. A MarineDevimon? Or a Gesomon?"

(OOC: Due to missing the Grace Period, Carlos will be skipped this turn. Sorry Nol)
The buildings certainly seemed inviting towards a thorough exploration! Not only were there indeed alcoves and crevices, just below the surface there were whole alleyways, lined in Digikelp and being full of shops and houses, some of which were in use! This all seemed ripe for exploring!
Mizu chuckled. "Well I'd hope we'd find some marine digimon here, all others would find it hard to enjoy it here! I sure hope I get to meet more Seadramons! Oh, and maybe a cool Tylomon, they are really dreamy!" Yukiko blushed as she kept swimming. Maybe there were some marine Digimon chilling on that rock over there, near the steep wall of ancient rocky skyscraper?

Giving a small nod and a thumbs up, the man made sure both his and his partner’s equipment was set, after which they both dived in and followed after the Doctor, descending next to the mossy wall of the sunken building.
Surprisingly it was Dio of all people that seemed a bit more on edge judging by the way over his gaze darted all over the place, looking for movement. At at the very least more cautious about their surroundings than Carlos, possibly because of that whole near death experience on that river in Old Terminus. Or maybe he just hated the sea. Both seemed just as likely.
Not longer than a minute later, the man’s flashlight would stop on the building’s wall, lighting a large hole on it that allowed the group to partially peer into the inside of the ruins.
While not exactly a proper entrance, it was wide enough for even the man to fit through. Swimming closer to it, he’d point at it with his finger and shrug a bit whilst looking at the Doctor, as if to say “This is as good an entrance as any.”
