)(ello! I'm Feferi! Feferi Peixes. So, as you can probubbly guess from t)(e conc)(fused tone of voice, I just woke up )(ere.

So w)(at is t)(e deal wit)( not being able to move w)(en you wake up? T)(at was glubbing scary! I mean, it takes a lot to scare me like t)(at, but t)(is did it. PL-EAS-E tell me t)(at doesn't )(appen every time you fall asleep?

I'm curious about t)(is collar, too, but I t)(ink I can live wit)( it. Unless it's t)(e reason I woke up all frozen. In w)(ic)( case, I would R-E--ELY like to get it off me.

O)( cod, )(ere I am carping on about otter t)(ings w)(en I forgot t)(e most important one! Is t)(ere anyguppy else from Alternia )(ere? I know t)(ere's probably not a w)(ole lot of it left, but I reely want to be s)(ore everybubbly is all rig)(t.

[ooc: translated - Hello! I'm Feferi! Feferi Peixes. So, as you can probably guess from the confused tone of voice, I just woke up here.

So what is the deal with not being able to move when you wake up? That was glubbing scary! I mean, it takes a lot to scare me like that, but this did it. PLEASE tell me that doesn't happen every time you fall asleep?

I'm curious about this collar, too, but I think I can live with it. Unless it's the reason I woke up all frozen. In which case, I would really like to get it off me.

Oh cod, here I am carping on about otter things when I forgot the most important one! Is there anybody else from Alternia here? I know there's probably not a whole lot of it left, but I really want to be sure everybody is all right.]

T)(at makes me feel a w)(ole lot betta. I'd )(ate for t)(at to )(appen every time I fell asleep.

I'm s)(ore it is, too. If it's not too muc)( troububble, I'd like to look into it. I'm more t)(an open to trying it on my own collar...

[NO, STOP. JUST STOP NOW.]

[Okay, he's stopping. ...But he can't not respond to her either, bluh! It would not do to ignore any Empress, ever, even if this Empress--Empurress--Empress wasn't even Nepeta.]

[ofdewandglass]

I'm not afraid of somet)(ing like t)(at. If it )(elps someone else, t)(en it's all I can do. Even if it's dangerous to me, if it makes t)(ings betta for everyguppy else, t)(en it's wort)( it.
