Lagoon
If you think S'reee is getting out of the ocean once you arrive, you have another think coming. The whale has made a beeline for the coast and dives into the water.

S'reee can be found napping in the lagoon or 'fishing' -- while humpback whales lack teeth, they can swallow small fish whole as well as the krill that is abundant in these waters. S'reee is taking advantage of her mobility to find schools of fish small enough for her to swallow, and rising up from the bottom of the lagoon. If she notices one of the Voidtrekkers in a boat nearby, she'll surface, waving a fin at them. "Looking for fish? I haven't eaten them all yet, and some are too big for me."

Not the Little Mermaid...
... but there is something she does want to try, and that leads to a human-looking girl trying to walk along the beach. Thankfully, someone (let's be real, probably Nita) did make sure she had suitable clothing. But she's not the best at balancing, and her gait looks more like a toddler's than a teenager's.

"Suddenly I see why humans take over a year to learn this."
