[ 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

SO UM.... I'll be around I guess???? if any of my pals are still here lmk i wanna catch up with you guys!

Stella! Welcome back. I've missed you.

[He's smiling, trying to radiate that feeling of calm and familiarity at her. It's alright Stella, you're not dead.]

oh, Stella-chan
I did think you were being weirdly quiet. lol

[rei....]

So did they dunk you in the lake again? [or did you just wake up in a ditch somewhere??]

[Well, that was some good news! Caster didn't want to admit it, but she'd missed her.]

[corpsewarblade]

Wait, no way?? I seriously thought you'd just disappeared for good- wait, you remember everything, right?

Even me?

[After all, she'd grown used to people forgetting she existed...between the ones who came back without memories, and her own classmates.]

I mean, like, I had no idea you could totally pass out and come back like nothing happened, you know??

I seriously can't believe I was gone long enough for you to miss me! I was just going to sleep and then blammo, jump cut, I'm back in the lake! Seriously crazy!

[ this is about as calm as she's gonna get, it seems. that's stella for you! ]

[prismatically]

YES THEY DID!!!! youd think they'd have figured out a way of getting people here w/o just dropping them into the water but nope!!! i got belly flopped in there with zero warning!!! like i know there's people there and the turtles come help u out but come ON there's gotta be a better way!! it SUCKS

[ absolutely furious. you can tell because there were no emojis. ]

[prismatically]

CASTERRRRRRRR!!! YES HI I'M BACK

[ she's definitely still stella at least ]

it was like 4 months or something right??? WILD

[prismatically]

JUNKO!!! HI!!! yes im pretty sure i remember anything!!!! i mean i'm like 99% sure? i don't feel like i forgot anything. i'm pretty sure i'd

WAIT HOW DO I FIGURE OUT IF I REMEMBER EVERYTHING

[prismatically]

I'M ALIVE AND I'M ON THE WAY!!!!

[ she may literally be sprinting and texting??? let's pretend she's getting there safely, though ]

WHAT DID I MISS WHILE I WAS OUT

[prismatically]

PLEASE SAY SIKE

[ HER NERVES CAN'T STAND THIS ]

[prismatically]

currently i'm like 99.99% sure i wasn't dead. i think i got blipped in time or something??? that's my theory rn. cos it was like. go for nap. fall asleep. wake up in lake like 4 months later. it's the only think i can think of that makes sense

[ how serious she is about this is entirely up to you to decipher. ]

[prismatically]

literally putting like 20 super annoying ones on my phone RIGHT NOW. and im gonna make a bunch of you guys come check on me if i ever go big quiet again. maybe you can like smelling salts me back awake or something like they do in movies?? idk if that works in real life.

[groundzeroes]

Hahahaha

[Hmm, so if someone he's got a stake in disappears, he ought to keep checking the lake. Noted. Thank you, Stella. Rei Will Remember That(TM).]

Yanking folks out of the time-space continuum with any amount of precision is probably pretty tough. Maybe we're lucky they aim at the water and not the ground after all.

Welcome back!

[ They'd just talked once on the network months ago, but seeing people come back was always good! Well, from Stella's perspective that conversation was probably just a few weeks ago.... ]

Unless all of this is actually the afterlife and we're all together in limbo as we're being judged for our sins-- It's safe to say you're not dead, ahaha!

[afoolshope]

[Big dogs, you say? Minato send a picture of a big black dog with red eyes lounging behind him. He tried to keep out of the shot, but it was an awkward angle and he may or may not be using said dog to lounge on.]

This is Kuro, my familiar. He's a church grim, I hope that counts as a big dog. Welcome back, although I don't believe we met before. Maybe.

I'm Minato.

me googling this to see if it's true irl

[morns]

it does.

( it won't be pleasant, but it works. )

[prismatically]

omggggg don't say that!!! i'd turn to paste as soon as i hit the ground!

[ GRUESOME... ]

for real though maybe we need to talk to them about arranging. SOMETHING. i freaked out a little less than everyone else cause it was my second time turning up like that but it's soooooo scary as a newbie

in this tag the part of stella is played by me

[prismatically]

IT DOES????????

[ SHE THOUGHT THEY MADE THAT UP FOR MOVIES ]

[prismatically]

YEAH.... thinking about it. i don't have any sins. not that i'm like a super squeaky clean person or anything i just don't think my life is wild enough for anything i do to count as a sin. unless you count some of the midnight snacks i've made when i have choco cravings.

[prismatically]

AAAAAAAAAA LOOK AT HIMMMMMM!!!!! HE'S SO BIG AND HIS FACE IS SO HANDSOMEEEEE

[ She could go on like this (and probably would) but for the sake of not blowing up Minato's phone, she'll restrain herself. ]

i'm so jealousssss!!! dgmw my familiar is sooooo cute and cuddly and i do like her but i miss my doggggggg

Hello, Stella. I know we haven't met before, but I'm glad you're back.

My name is Padmé and I too like music and dancing. But I'm a little confused: what is an idol exactly?
