[ The video shows a small iced-over pond far outside Hadriel's borders. There are large tracks scattered around — mammoth ones, judging by their size — as well as more recent human footprints.

Near a new hole in the ice stands Sal Fisher, proudly holding up a pair of ... fish? Probably fish. They're alien and pretty bizarre-looking, but Sal is holding them in a classic I Caught This pose. Gotta be fish.

The video ends. It's followed by a short text message: ]

Found fish. :)

why not??

[This is a totally genuine question.]

[64th]

They could be poison. [ Duh, dude! ]

[sallyfaced]

i'm sure there's a way to check and see if they're not
there's a whole bunch of science dudes here
well not "here" here but you know

[64th]

That is true. This place makes you suspicious, though.

Plus those fish look really ugly.

[sallyfaced]

[Pffft.]

if we grew up here i bet they'd look totally normal. maybe even cute.

[Is he being serious??? Who knows.]

[64th]

No one would ever find THAT cute. Maybe normal, but still kind of like a nightmare.

What do you think it tastes like?

[sallyfaced]

you're probably right lol

[Sal will be the embarrassing exception.]

i bet it tastes like chicken or beef or something completely opposite of fish. that's usually how it is, right?

[64th]

Honestly if it DID taste like fish I would be kind of worried.

Maybe it tastes like lamb. [ now that she could get on board with. ]

[sallyfaced]

i never had lamb before but i have to assume i'd be okay with that.

or maybe it doesn't even taste like meat. what happens if it tastes like a vegetable???

[64th]

That would be disturbing.

[sallyfaced]

hah, it would fit the running theme of this place though

[64th]

True.

At least the fish didn't try to eat you. Right?

You will tell us if it tried to eat you?

[sallyfaced]

haha it didn't try to eat us. and even if it did i guess we'd have it coming if we tried to catch them right?

[64th]

Hopefully it's fish family doesn't try to get revenge on you ;)

[sallyfaced]

im prepared to deal with the consequences of my actions. v.v

[64th]

What an embarassing way to die, though.

[sallyfaced]

what? getting eaten by the family of some weird alien looking fish who were out getting revenge for their fallen brethren? sounds badass to me

[64th]

"How'd they die?"
"a fish bit them."

Not badass.

[sallyfaced]

well when you put it like THAT it sounds lame

[64th]

I'm honestly just looking out for you.

[ Belatedly, Maine chimes in: ]

Tastes fishy.

[ What was that about possible poison? OH WELL. ]

[64th]

[ a little poison never hurt anyone!! ]

Yeah? How'd you cook it?

[bloodbathing]

Over fire.

[ Don't ask him for specifics, he's no chef! ]

[64th]

No seasonings, then?

[bloodbathing]

Didn't pack any.

[ They were looking for train tracks, not fish! ]
