[The person in the video might look familiar to some, if slightly more tired and banged up than usual. Still, despite the bruise on his forehead and the dark streaks of ash on his face and clothes his eyes are bright, indicating to anyone even slightly acquainted with him that he's about to say something ridiculous.]

Surprise, bitch, I bet you thought you'd seen the last of me.

[His voice is a little weak but he delivers the line with all the sassiness it deserves, before suddenly offering a grin.]

Okay, so like maybe two people here got that reference, but I so don't care. I punched a shark, so I can make whatever meme references I want.

[That's how it works, right?}

So um... Who's still here, I guess? Or who's new? How long have I been gone, because it feels like no time and like, a long time all at once. Sort of.

[He blinks a few times, smile fading a bit, mostly because he's totally exhausted.]

I'm um... I'm Chris, by the way. Been here before and whatever so... Got the general idea. The sharks are sort of new, though. Fucking sharks, man.

[Really, what even.]

Yeah, I guess so. I mean, I have to have been there, but I don't really... Remember anything new, or whatever.

[Worst return trip ever.]

Sorry to hear that, it must suck. [ Johnny's sympathetic. ] You okay, though? Aside from the whole punching sharks and stuff. You've been gone a couple months.

Thanks. Yeah, I'm okay; nothing that, you know, a twelve-hour nap won't fix.

{More or less, anyway.]

I heard I missed a really not-great event, though.

[ Johnny sobers, rubbing his face. ]

Yeah. Kinda sucked. [ Understatement. Anyway! ] But hey, how many people can legitimately say that they punched a shark in the face?

[Well he sees that change in countenance and winces a little in sympathy.]

Sorry. But hey, yeah, true. Bragging rights and whatever. I mean, I'm from Los Angeles so it's not that unheard with surfing and whatever, but still.
