[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.

*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?

[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.]
