[Hi, network, here's a porkschop mouth and bear hat you haven't seen in a long while. He appears to be smiling, but a pretty strained smile.]

Yo, peeps! I guess I'm back! I guess that's okay! Not like I was busy or anything! It's pretty jumpin' here, lots of adventures and dance parties to be had, even if Peebles isn't here! Or Marcy! Starchy! . . . Jake! I can do this again, YEAH! If the City still needs me to be a hero, I can't really say no, right? That's so not heroy, and that's what I'm allllll about. [A little arm wiggle dance to illustrate that this is, indeed, fact.]

[Pause.] I, uh, didn't beef it down a bunch of stairs again, did I? That'd be so embarrassing. Ahem.

Callin' out for all my City bros, answer me so we can do sweet screen fistbumps and catch up! And a special shout out to Zizi, where are you, gurl! I keep calling you don't answer. Scamper your sweet unreadable teal text on over here.

..Ah! Except... my name is quite a popular one, so on second thought I may have jumped too quickly onto the adventure party bandwagon. Apologies for that! Er..

((as he thinks: good fuckin job, jake the stupid, that's certainly you're best blunder yet!!! among many many others.))

[rhombus]

Oh, wow, your name's Jake, too? Jake's my best bro! Obviously you're a cool guy by default now. Only way you'd be cooler is if your name was Finn.

[adventureboner]

Hah well, I suppose if that's enough to qualify me at least as a little cool, I can't really complain! I take that makes you the coolest of all, no?

[rhombus]

Of course! 'Cause my name's FINNNNNNNN, bwoooop, check it. Nice to meet you, dude, you new, too?

[adventureboner]

Something of that sort! I'd round it off at about a week since I made my debut.

[rhombus]

Oh, so you're a total newb then, huh? Hehehe.

[adventureboner]

Newb is a word I wouldn't quite throw around for the likes of me! I may have just showed up in the city, but as far as this heroism stuff goes, I'm something of an old pro.

[rhombus]

Oh yeah? Is that so, huh? How many princesses have you saved?

[adventureboner]

Oh, well! ....There's not too many princesses on my island, to be completely honest!

[rhombus]

Ah, I see, well, that's okay! Not all heroes rescue princesses! What kind of adventures did you have back home? Oh, if it was an island, were there cannibals?? Or dinosaurs??

[adventureboner]

Well! We did have some pretty exotic looking creatures. Closest thing we have to a dinosaur, I would say, would be the dragon that hangs out around the volcano! Mean girl, too.

[rhombus]

Oh glob, dragons are so cool! Did she hoard gold? Did you try to take the gold? Did you spar like buds, or was she your arch enemy? Did she breathe fire, or ice, or lightning? My favorite is poison breath, though!

[adventureboner]

Woah, Nelly! You'll bit your tongue off talking that fast, haha! Anywho, let me see if I can't answer that all for you.

((he's counting on his fingers, for whatever that's worth.)) I'm nearly certain she breathes fire. I honestly didn't mess with her all that much, either! A few years ago I gave heading up the volcano myself a try to see what it was she had up there, but she spooked me down before I had the chance to! Haven't been up there much lately since my volcano's about to blow its top, too.

[rhombus]

Hahaha, yeah, I get that a lot sometimes.

Oh, man, you even have a volcano? I've never gone up against one of those before.

[adventureboner]

Oh they're really something else! Nothing you couldn't handle without a little preparation, but troublesome otherwise.

[rhombus]

Wow... [He sounds in aw, hands rising up to his face slowly.] How do you prepare to fight a volcano?

[adventureboner]

That... my good man... Is a very excellent question!!! Seems like you'd need to be scientifically armed.

[rhombus]

Hmmm, science isn't exactly my strong suit . . .

Not that I wouldn't mind giving it a go if someone was in danger of a volacno, though!

[adventureboner]

Jade's pretty good with science!! I couldn't really compare to her, hah.

[rhombus]

Oh, sweet, if an evil volcano ever shows up here then we know who to ask for help! That's a real load of my mind, to be honest.

[adventureboner]

Heck yes! And if she's anything like my grandma was, she'll definitely be all over an adventure like that.

Though, with any luck, we won't have to deal with any evil volcanoes.... Perhaps we should begin preparation just in case.

[rhombus]

How? Like buying ovenmits?

[adventureboner]

Would that protect against a volcano?

[rhombus]

[He thinks for a second.

Then shrugs with a laugh.]

[adventureboner]

Pffft Well, everything's worth trying, I say! I mean, some of the strangest stuff comes in handy sometimes, even for weird stuff.
