Hey all.

[YAAAAAAWN. Lily only just woke up a few minutes ago! She sounds remarkably okay for someone that was just asleep for six months.]

So, like... apparently it's... December? And I was asleep since... J...une...?

[Pause.]

Super weird.

[Another pause.]

Thaaat meeeans it's almost Christmas! [The cheer is evident in her voice.] Christmas is the best holiday, except for my birthday! [A boat-wide holiday!] We should decorate. We should set up a tree and give presents and be merry!

What does everybody want for Christmas? Santa Lily is on the case!

Santa Lily? Lily Claus?

I am glad you are still here. Do you need your room cleaned?

[She's been cleaning like she's the friggin maid. But she likes Lily. So this one she'll do with no grumbling. Well, mostly no grumbling.]

[dogfighting]

It's okay! I can do it myself.

[Her room is absolutely coated in dust. A sea of dust. Six months of no activity will really do that to a place.]

... Are there people that aren't still here?

[volatileconstructs]

Call me if you need help, yes?

[Not that it's a secret. She just doesn't know.]

I cannot say. Some may not have woken up yet.

[dogfighting]

Oh.

[If there's one thing that Lily knows, it's that on boats, you can be swept away in your sleep. She wouldn't be surprised if dozens of her friends have disappeared. Maybe they're asleep, maybe they're gone.]

[So it goes, you know?]

At least you're still here!

[volatileconstructs]

[A light laugh.]

That I am, chéri.
