[ well THERE'S a username that hasn't been seen for a hot minute. Stella went for The Big Snooze sometime last November, so as far as she's concerned, it should be gearing up for Christmas. And then next thing she knows, she's crash landing back into the lake, she's being piled into one of the carriages and everyone's telling her it's February.

She's having a moment about it. A huge string of rapid-fire messages start shotgunning out. ]

FEBRUARY???
ARE YOU FREAKING K I D D I NG ME
IS THIS A PRANK???????
DID I DIE
I MISSED CHRISTMAS????????

[ ... Among other things. I'll spare you from having to read them all. Eventually, she calms the hell down enough that a... slightly more comprehensible post finally follows. ]

HI. SO. UM. Last I knew it was November something and now it's February and some ppl are telling me it's a familiar connection thing and u can understand that I wigged out a bit!!!!!! BUT... now i'm awake and i'm Back In Avalon so um. this is a reintro i guess??? if u already know me. skip this part.

HI!! I'm Stella and i was here for like, most of the year last year??? i guess i got blipped for some reason and now i'm kind of catching up and seeing who's still around. i really likeeee music & dancing (i'm an idol back home!) big dogs and glittery things. introducing urself is hard LOL

[ That's a lot of lingo and general emotion that he's not sure to process, much like everything else here. ]

Hello, good afternoon Stella. I'm Noah. I reckon I'm what you'd call new aorund here, so I'm still trying to wrap my head around all of this but a pleasure still to meet your acquaintance.

I'm not much of a dancer myself, but I do know a couple of songs from back home I sing to my little brothers and sisters. I'd be happy to share if you'd teach a poor torch how to dance. :)

[afoolshope]

He says thank you. I miss mine too, my dorm had an albino shiba inu. He's very handsome too and very smart.

[prismatically]

safety nets. or bounce pads, like in video games.

[prismatically]

omg our dogs are twins!! hold on

[ A few minutes later comes an attached image. It's a selfie Stella attempted to take with her own pooch, though 90% of the frame is taken up by the snoot of a friendly looking Samoyed. Maybe this is working as intended??? ]

his name is bagel and he's sooooo dumb i love him soooooo much

[prismatically]

OH RIGHT!!! I keep forgetting that's not a thing every other place does lol

Hmmmm i guess i'd explain it like. you guys have people who become celebrities with just singing and dancing, right?

[prismatically]

[ This guy has the soul of a grandpa....... cute!! ]

omg if you really wanna learn i would LOVE to teach u!!! i'm still kinda learning myself but i have a lot of the basics down and i managed to teach kate some stuff when i was here last lol. so it'd be super fun to try it out!!

[localdeliveryboy]

[ If she said that to him in person, he'd die a little bit on the inside. Sure he's not the most savvy person when it came to the internet, texting, or the like but he's still young and spry. ]

I'm afraid I don't have that down either. Too busy working to really give it a real effort, you know? Figured now might be a good time to learn, and if my intructor is pretty lady like yourself then all the more reason to learn, right?

[morns]

smells like shit and makes people wake up.

( you learn some strange things in her lines of work. )

[politicallyinclined]

We do, though they are usually famous on their planets - not throughout the galaxy as a whole. Taste in music and dance varies, you see.

[peninhand]

Oh gosh, I think we're all condemned if that counts as a sin, ahaha!

Speaking of which, at least you've come back for the best month of the year! I know I'd be super depressed if I missed it for whatever reason.

WELCOME BACK!♥
I know we may have not talked before but I remember seeing your un and I really missed seeing your cute energy around here, while you were away~! Maybe we can be friends this time? I'm Usagi Tsukino, everyone calls me Usagi and here is my dog, her name is Marshmallow!♥

[The fake link will take her to an instagram account full of pictures and videos of an adorable, friendly looking Samoyed. Because she mentioned, that she loves dogs.]

[groundzeroes]

You should petition His Highness

[prismatically]

i really might!!! like he has merlin and a whole bunch of other super magical people i'm sure they could set SOMETHING up so people have a better landing.

[ a pause. ]

actually then again he's Literally King Arthur so maybe i shouldn't yell at him

[prismatically]

i feel... lied to??? or like the opposite of that somehow???? i genuinely spent my life thinking that was a fake thing like how cpr works in movies so finding out it's real. idk if my brain can handle this.

[groundzeroes]

I dunno, he took on some squirt as his PR manager just because the kid negged him online. You might be surprised.

[That's Hikaru, not "squirt," Rei...]

[prismatically]

OMG RIGHT i'm SUPER excited!!! i looooooove valentines, everything's all cute and pink and chocolate is everywhere and also on sale LOL. is anythin going on for valentines this year? i know last year the people here didn't really Get It but i hope there's SOMETHING fun to do this time around

[prismatically]

[ oh this lady's from SPACE??? it says a lot about what a number avalon has done on her that she barely even blinks as that registers. ... it's still kind of wild, though. ]

oh for sure! where i'm from there's idols who perform all different kinds of music and use all different kinds of magic for their shows. that's what we do!

[prismatically]

if you're seriously down for it then we can totally give it a shot! obvs i can only teach you the kind of stuff i already know for myself but i guess from there if you have the basics you can work some more stuff out!!

lmk when you're ready to do it and we can work out times and stuff!

[localdeliveryboy]

There's no time like the present, is what I'd say. I greatly dislike leaving a lovely lady such as yourself hanging but I'm still trying to get myself settled. Maybe we can schedule it for sometime next week? We can go out afterwards, see what there is to see here in this place.

[prismatically]

[ a cute girl noticed her....!!! she might've gotten dunked in the lake but her day is already looking up ]

omg YES!! hi!!! i'm planning(????) to stick around this time (if that's even something i can control lol) so i ABSOLUTELY want to hang out with more people. AND I ABSOLUTELY WANNA MEET UR DOG... SHE LOOKS JUST LIKE MINE

[ in return is a candid shot, evidently taken by someone else back home, of Stella in the middle of a half-cuddle half-tussle with a similarly goofy looking Samoyed. ]

[prismatically]

omg for real??? wouldn't you get like, beheaded for picking a fight with the king??? what'd they say to him?????

[prismatically]

sounds good to me! i'm trying to get myself settled back in too LOL but!!! if you lmk when you'd be free i can work around w/e your schedule is! i haven't gotten myself a new job or anything yet, so i'm pretty open rn.

[localdeliveryboy]

A bit unusual that, returning to a place that isn't your world. I can't imagine how you must be feeling. Not to mention the fact you use February and November for months too. Strange coincidence, huh?

[tsumtsuki]

[ ... well, that was a rollercoaster of a post from start to finish. ]

Welcome back, Stella-chan. My name's Tsumugi - it's nice to meet you.

[ Come on- where'd the button- oh, there we go. After about a minute, he sends over a picture of an older looking puppo. ] And this is my familiar, Fuyu! He's not a big dog, but I still think he's cute. He looks just like the dog I grew up with back home.
