[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

[warriorscribe]

All right.

*They could get up to the most important info later. Suggesting another place would seem suspicious.*

It will take me some time to arrive there; it's a long way down, even by elevator.

[cullscuttlefish]

That's all right. But if it's any eelsier, I can meet you someplaice else?

The aquarium's fine. *She's been on her dead world for so long, after all. She should be in a place that comforts her.* I'll meet you in half an hour.

*And with that, he gets up and heads for the elevator. He spends the thirty minute ride down thinking of the events after the phantoms, putting them in order. He can tell her about what's happened while they're there.

It's a little longer than half an hour, really, since he has to climb the stairs, too, but not that much longer. When he reaches the aquarium, he doesn't go far from the landing, assuming Feferi won't be waiting too deep within the maze of water blocks.*

Feferi?

[cullscuttlefish]

Enoch!

[She's a little enthusiastic. It's been entirely too long, after all. Don't mind the incoming hug.]

It's good to see you.

[warriorscribe]

*He doesn't mind the hug at all. In fact, he returns it, knowing where she's been and what it's like there...or, if not knowing exactly, understanding the loneliness.*

It's good to see you, too.

*He gives her shoulder a reassuring pat and a squeeze when they part, and he looks out at the water, at the fish. It's been a long while since he's spent time down here, too. Faintly, he's reminded of Armaros...but it makes him smile. Soon, he thinks.*

So, then, which way?

[cullscuttlefish]

[The loneliness is really the worst part.]

I can honestly head anemonewhere, though I'll admit to being curious about what's changed since last summer. It feels like I'm missing someplaice I should know about.

[warriorscribe]

We can get to that in time. Let's visit the fish first, as you wanted. *So he'll pick a random direction into the aquarium.* Were there any you had your eye on?

[cullscuttlefish]

I was talking with the jellies a minute ago - well, more talking at them, but. I thought I'd check up on the tank with the clownfish in it next.

[warriorscribe]

If they haven't jumped to another one. Let's go find them, then. I can tell you about what's happened since you left.

*If he was going to talk about terrible things, it might as well be in a nice place like this.*

[cullscuttlefish]

Right.

[She manages a little giggle.]

Sounds good. It sounds like a lot has changed since I was here before.

[And she'll round a corner, heading towards a tank full of tropical fish.]
