[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.

Comments

[cullscuttlefish]

There was the sound of the waves, when I got close enough to the water's surface, but other than that, not a whole lot.

[She nods.]

Very true. I like the libraries, though I should check on the aquarium and all too. I know there's work to be done, but...

[A light laugh.]

[no_longer_a_king]

So you spent the entire time in your world underwater?

[cullscuttlefish]

I went up on land a few times, but the silence was just too much. I couldn't deal with it.

It was eelsier to deal with being alone underwater, because at least I had the waves for company. It probubbly sounds crazy, doesn't it?

[no_longer_a_king]

No, it doesn't. We all have to keep ourselves together somehow when it happens to us.

[cullscuttlefish]

[She nods.]

Any port in a storm, I think.

How have you been holding up? I know how crazy it's gotten...

[no_longer_a_king]

Jason was killed recently, Dax over a year or so ago. As to other things....

Are you aware of what the countdown is for yet?

[cullscuttlefish]

I remember Dax.

[She brushes some of her hair aside to show a few leaves; even now she's taken to wearing a touch of greenery in her hair.]

Not explicitly, but I can guess, given Ruana's freak-out last year. That was last year, right? Time's still a little fuzzy.

[no_longer_a_king]

[She smiles at the greenery and turns her head. The large black ribbon she used to wear she had given to Lancelot. In it's place she wears a much daintier, less obvious green one she had procured.]

Almost a year. We have two months left.
