( Hello there, darkness dwellers. Is this a new voice you here? It sure is, lucky you. The accent is Australian, broad almost to the point of cliche, and there's something oddly lackadaisical about it, given the... well. The everything, really. )

So, not being funny, but has anyone, I dunno... fallen off the ferry and gotten a bit cuddly with some mysterious glowy, kinda ethereal-seeming tentacles?

Asking for a friend.

[justcawse]

Well, has your friend experienced this that caused you to ask?

[Don't mind him.]

[necromantiae]

Well.

( hm. )

That was dumb.

It has tentacles???

[broplaints]

Wait
Are you being serious?
Cause that sounds kind of cool actually

[Noctis you are the only person who would think that.]

[reigniter]

I will gladly lend you a hand if you need it
My combat skills, in case we run into something very dangerous, are really good

Good news?
...
Full moons are pretty.

[Ignis, that's not reassuring.]

[magnitudes]

Oh, come on. I-- it---

( A long pause. )

It wasn't the smartest idea I've ever had.

[magnitudes]

Sure. How's your tolerance for bad jokes?

I mean, I do love a full moon. I feel like this is the kind of place where superstitions about the moon could all come true and that's kind of terrifying, the more I think about it.

[magnitudes]

Of course. Deadly serious.
I'm always suffering from a lack of hugs, like a giant cactus.

[magnitudes]

My friend might have done some things. Might have made some choices.

( SON..... DON'T...... )

It, it... I mean maybe it could have been a tendril. A grapple-appendage. A curly-grabber.

[webshoots]

Hey, I'm not saying you don't. Just pass the message on. [ a beat. ] You okay, though? Outside of the multiple-limbed, boney hugs.

—Maybe not in winter, but if we're both still here when summer hits, just remember: you only have yourself to blame.

[necromantiae]

It could have gotten you killed and that would have sucked.

( but all's well that ends well? )

Did yo at least have fun?

@jtodd

[mind_blown]

thats y it's generally not a good idea to go 4 a swim
so add that 2 the list ig

[HE WASN'T GONNA. . . HE PROMISES!!!]

I wonder if you just made friend with Cthulhu.

[he says that so blandly it's tough to say whether he's being serious or not]

audio, @hello

[lunchbreaks]

I'm afraid I don't know anything about that, but did your friend happen to tell you how big it was?

[broplaints]

Yeah but
That's gotta come in handy right?

[reigniter]

I end up being accused of making them, so I think I can safely say: good.

Well, nothing moon-related has happened. Yet.
Aside from bonfire torches, it's the only other source of light.

[justcawse]

What kind of choices are we talking about here?

[magnitudes]

I lost consciousness very quickly, so... that was kind of a dampener on the situation.

( Hypothermia, man. What a bag of dicks. )

And I'm gonna need you to not mention that to Miriam, if you meet her, 'cause I'm pretty sure if she ever gets proved right about anything she'll be insufferable.

[magnitudes]

As an example of human perfection, I'm always okay.

( Does that make sense? No.
Does it matter? No. )

I feel like a gauntlet was just thrown down. Is that what just happened?

[magnitudes]

Great, you're in. That's all I need to know.

Yet, don't say yet. That's a surefire way to jinx us.
God, this sucks. I really don't love the dark.

[magnitudes]

I mean, avoiding hugs does make it harder for people to stick "kick me" signs on my back

( that's what he meant, right )

[magnitudes]

dangling off the ferry to try and get a better look at something in the water?

[magnitudes]

( There's a long, long silence. )

Does that mean I can't eat calamari any more?

( Fuck her entire life. )
