[Phosphophyllite crawls out of the sea. Well—eventually, they'll crawl out of the sea. When they wake up in the shallows they're sitting on the sand, shoulders-deep in the water and just staring out into the rest of the ocean. It doesn't seem to bother them at all - and they're not even swayed by the push and pull of the waves, but that's thanks to how heavy they are. When they look over their shoulder at the rest of the beach, the people and the distant outline of buildings, they are... kind of annoyed!!!

What's all this, huh!! The one time they have a whole plan in mind and then this happens, what gives!!

So, if not approached by a concerned citizen trying to figure out if the figure sitting in the shallows is, like, still alive - they will crawl out of the sea. Literally—Phos crawls, and it might be a touch unsettling; they have these strange gold arms, after all, that morph and reshape constantly to practically pull them along the sand until they tire of it and just flop down on their back.

With their arms reforming, well, arms, they press their hands to their face and groan, then thrust two balled fists up into the sky.]

Ugh!! No one is even here! Hey— [that's for the nearest passerby, i.e. you,] What are you supposed to be? Are you a human?

[make their day, ty]

[Or: seashell hunt.

Or: one local gem hoarding seashells in a basket pinched from somewhere or other, and not unsuccessfully. Phos is toting around a veritable treasure trove of shells, although not for the desire to get any prizes out of it. No, the prizes strike them as everyday things one could just pick up anywhere, actually? How hard is it to find a flower...

But they've heard "seashell hunt" and had a bit of a moment over it, connecting seashells to Admirabilis and nearly literally exploding into gold goop.

So. They can be found, eventually, after quite possibly making a scene over refusing to turn in any of their shells for the contest or trying to snatch a shell from someone else, sulking on the ground with the basket of shells between their knees. They're draped miserably over the top of it, and if you squint, something about their gold arms looks... wobbly.]

They're all empty... [ugh. but:] Are yours? Did you find any with animals inside?

[hi it's jojoveller back at it again. phos is from ch. 76 of the manga, if that means anything to anyone. they have beautiful blue lapis lazuli "hair" now, not the green from the gif. fun facts!]
