[ 'Don't touch the jelly fish' had gone in one ear and out the other, and once Beat had figured out how to maneuver himself around more gracefully in the water, what's the first thing he's doing?
Reaching straight out towards a jellyfish. The Princess could wait until his most basic need of sheer curiosity had been filled. Plus, back home, Jellyfish fights are a thing during the game and maybe they're warning not to touch if you don't want to fight?
No, they're warning because the moment Beat paps a jellyfish - relatively gently with his palm - there's a water-muffled CRACK! of someone being zapped and a lot of bubbles. Those bubbles are because Beat yelled, a lot, and hasn't figured out how to talk properly underwater. Which is probably good as there was a lot of swearing.
Beat backpedals as fast/good as he can, cradling his hand and slowly beginning to glow blue. He hopes no one saw that... ]
2. sorry beat, your princess is in another gambling circle
[ Okay, so this isn't looking for the Princess either but, well, he didn't want to be among the Jellyfish right now. The mermaids, after heartily laughing over his blue state, agreed to introduce him to their little game. He's simply watching for now, however, sitting nearby and nursing his right hand where he got zapped. Oh it requires shells. Shoot.
He turns to the nearest non-mermaid with a furrowed brow look. ]
Uh... do you know if they mean specials shells or jus' like, beach shells?
3. whose afraid of the big bad jellyfish?
[ Back at it, Beat looks like he's now actually helping out, using tools provided by the mermaids to gently catch and bring in the sickly looking jellyfish. His careful handling gets a few giggles from the stalwarts who've been at this for years, but he remembers the shock, and doesn't care if these are ill. They probably still hurt. ]
Yo what's wrong wid 'em??
[ The murmurs he gets back are along the lines of don't know, unsure, trying to find out, etcetera, and he looks frustrated. He's still helping, however, and will be grateful for anyones aid so he doesn't get shocked again. Yeah he's completely forgotten about a Princess. ]
4. round and about
[ Wildcard! Anything else you want to snag Beat for? He'll be here and there, checking out weapons or warning people to NOT TOUCH THE JELLYFISH. ]
