She wears a black silk shift dress and black sandals, straps twining up bare calves, and mis-matched gloves, her right fingerless lace and the left full-fingered silk. Her jacket is navy leather, the back decorated with strange, white, abstract patterns - seaweed, fish, octopi - a bizarre heraldry of undersea.
How drowned in love, and weedily washed ashore At the tide’s edge, I lie. These things and more . . . Small chance, however, in a storm so black, (Edna St. Vincent Millay)
Aramis: Who are you? That talk - a devastating depth of poetic recognition. Blair: Wonderful sea enthusiasm. I want to know more about your project. Bobbi: Wise and grounded, you can make metal into dream. Bodie: "CPR, man? really??!!" [ok, sorry, he's an NPC, but he's fucking hilarious. He makes the list!] Cassie: you and Seraphine are WONDERFUL! I cannot wait to get to know you both better. Honestly it is pure fun and happiness to be around you both. Cleo: an unusual midnight surf instructor. Conn: One of the most stalwart, wonderful people I know. You're incredibly wise, and you cherish dear Wick. De Gris: Diogenes’ Just Man. I want to discuss ethics some more. Evie: A fascinating field of study! Floyd: I am still amazed at what you did. The sheer gallantry! Incredible! Hardy: Guardian. You carve like a dream, and give the most wonderful hugs. Hayden: Such a kind person! And a great choice in jackets. Hop: We disagree about seals, but you have a point! Jolene: Beautiful, gracious and multi-talented. I love your interdisciplinary approach. Kabin: Wonderful linguist and academic collaborator! And FANTASTIC hugs! Kai: Relaxed and friendly. You love the sea with all your heart. Llewellyn: Tell me another beautiful lie. Tell me everything I want to hear. Molly: Glittering data edifices -- and kindness. We must talk more! Phil: I never deserved you, darling. You're the best person I ever met. I'm so, so fucking sorry. Rick: I respect you so much. I hate that I disappointed you. But I am a lot smarter and wilder than you realise, hon. I hope one day you can see me as not just a failure but an equal and a friend, just with a very different approach than yours. Roger: You were a fabulous wingman :D Sara Jane: You’re tough and charming. And obscure journals are my favorite journals. Santino: Fascinating music and an interesting person!

We should all go on a group scuba dive soon! Thea: Please do tell me more about Greek poetry of the sea! Typhanie: You've come through fire and are the most incredible person. And you've saved me from horror, twice. I love you dearly. Valentina: What words can fit you, darling? Fire and recalcitrance and absolutely steadfast love and challenge. You make me feel I can grow. And I know you're right. The most important step is the next one. Wick: Sunshine Twin. You understand me.
Katie: Enchanting, so light of heart, with hints of such shadows overcome.
