Sound travels strangely through the water. A bullet impacting the surface, rippling into the depths? Still strange, but Chikusa knows exactly what it means.

Snapped out of his daze, he jerks away from the impact a little belatedly. Shit- he hadn't thought that anyone would be out here this late. He's heard from Chrome that people have been agitated by the issues surrounding the old dock, but he'd thought they would have died down... He can't even hear who it is properly, not like this.

It's a mistake to have let himself lose track of things. There's no helping it now, however, and he forces himself upwards. The bell means he can just duck down so easily, like Mukuro and Chrome can. He has to surge upwards, body rolling briefly against the surface of the water as he forces himself down again. There's a moment where some of his body can be seen with the movement, frills rippling along from where legs would be, before he's under the water again.... for the most part.

Stupid bell... It's still a bit visible as he tries to push himself towards rockier shores, although it's not the fastest movement in the world. He's not particularly built for speed like this.
