[GUESS WHO'S BACK. BACK AGAIN. And is on the network to say hello. If you guessed a fish troll, you would be correct.]

...huh. Didn't think I'd ever sea this plaice again. It feels like everything and nothing have changed at the same time. New room, new people, same glubbing oatmeal.

[She laughs.]

How long has it been, anemoneway? Last thing I remember was getting a box of tentacles in my mailbox and a bunch of weird shadow kids following people around.

Right, right. I'm Feferi Peixes.

[She waves at the camera.]

I was here for - glubbing shell, I don't remember. You start to get somefin like aquadementia - ocean madness - after spending too much time on a dead world. Things get fuzzy.

I'm guessing, though, based on this timer and what people are saying, that we don't have a whole lot of time left. Figures that I'd be coming back at the end. It seems to be a thing!

[She doesn't look upset; more amused than anything.]

So. What did I miss? I want to hear everyfin.

[longwinded]

I was here right as winter started, but not long after that. I honestly can't remember much from that time. The blur starts right around there.

[He gives her a grin.]

We already know the ropes, so I guess it won't be much trouble settling back in.

[A pause.]

We are definitely going to get out of here this time.

[cullscuttlefish]

That blur sucks. I mean, reely sucks.

[But now is not the time to think about that, and she grins right back.]

Nope. Just a matter of getting up to speed, now. And about that - I just got the word that Jason's dead, so that's one less thing to worry about.

So yeah. We're gonna get out of here and back home for real this time.

[longwinded]

[HOLD UP JUST A DAMN MINUTE.]

Whoa, no kidding? At least we know one piece of the puzzle. Who offed him?

[Huh..]

It's just a matter of time, we were unsuccessful before. But now? I have confidence.

[cullscuttlefish]

No kidding. Apparently Ruana threw a bunch of people into a maze and told them to start killing each other in a 'game'. Eventually, she threw Jason in there, and someone went after the bastard. Still waiting to hear who, but, well...whatever happened, Ruana herself finished him off.

[It still feels pretty unreal to her, too.]

One way or another, we're doing this. We'll make it happen.

[longwinded]

I always knew she was a crazy bitch, but not to that extent. Finished him off? Like...finished him off? [He doesn't wanna go into that. It's pretty gruesome. Though Feferi should know what he's talking about.]

If we see more people, well, then that's more that are also going to get out of here.

[cullscuttlefish]

Yeah, it's five kinds of fucked up, to put it mildly. And yeah, I mean...yeah. That.

[She gives a determined nod.]

Exactly. I'm feeling a lot betta about things than I was before.

[longwinded]

Damn, we really did miss a lot then. Though I am almost unsurprised considering this is Ruana we're talking about.

[Fef is always so optimistic. It does brighten his own mood.]

Have you found anyone else you know that maybe didn't leave?

[cullscuttlefish]

Same here, to be honest.

[She nods.]

Yeah. Enoch is still here, and so's Zelda. I'm shore there are others, but I'm gonna talk to both of them soon.

[longwinded]

Let's just hope she doesn't go bat crazy and try to eat anyone else.

[He nods.]

I'll keep a look out for the others. If they also come back of course.

[cullscuttlefish]

You can say that again.

[She nods.]

Thanks, John.
