So... I should probably mention that I'm back, huh? [Been back for a few days but. Details.]
It's been a while - [For her, anyway.] - but at least I didn't have as much to catch up on as I did last time. [Really, none of this was like the first time she went home. When she came back, a bunch of time had passed and she didn't even remember leaving. This is time she was home for a year, but barely any time had passed here. So... the opposite of last time. Kind of.]
Still, it's pretty weird coming back, especially with how it messes with your head and junk. I'm not talking about all of the stuff the Hornets did a while ago, but the Porter's own way of making things weird. [She's pretty sure the Porter is responsible for it, anyway.] Like forgetting everything when you're home and then having all the memories of this place come back at once when you return.
I know going and coming back is different for everybody and sometimes people don't remember stuff. But for the people that do, everything coming back at once is pretty normal, right? [It was more than a little overwhelming for her. Frustrating, too. She's happy she has her memories back, but she's still bothered by the fact that she forgot everything to begin with.]
Anyway, at least it won't be as hard to get used to everything again, since I actually remember my time here before. [But... she'll still need to get used to some things again. Like being in a place almost entirely populated by humans - after going back to Ooo and the Fire Kingdom, it's pretty weird.]

And I was home for about a year.

... that's a long time.

[ Her jaw drops open in surprise, confusion colouring her voice as she puts together the pieces. ]
Wait, you're... are you the Flame Queen of the Fire Kingdom now?
video
Pretty much, but I'm usually just introduced as the new Flame King and I still go by Flame Princess most of the time.
video
It's a really good one, then!
video
video
Flame Queen... Princess...
It's a very serious title! Right? [ FP being so relaxed about it is mind-boggling. ] Shouldn't we be addressing you differently?
video
I don't think so? I mean, it's not like you're one of my subjects or anything. And I'm fine with just being Flame Princess.
video
Ah... okay, that's true. But...!
You're the ruler now! Isn't that amazing? Or is it boring? I always thought it'd be kind of nice.
We should celebrate somehow!
video
It's pretty good, but there's also a lot of responsibility. I have to do everything I can to keep the Fire Kingdom thriving, I have to make sure my people are safe and happy, I need to establish and maintain relations with other kingdoms... stuff like that.
And sure, I guess we could! What do you want to do?
video
It's jarring to think she knows two members of royalty. ]
Oh... that does sound like a lot. I'm sure you're doing a great job, though!
[ A grin. ]
Shouldn't we have some kind of party?
video
And I don't know. Is overthrowing an old ruler something you normally throw a party for if you weren't there? [Or aren't even from that world? Though to be fair, she isn't saying no. She just isn't really sure she gets it.]
video
... well, if it's a good change. It must be.
... we don't have to have a party. I still have coupons for free pizza and bread sticks if you want to do something together instead.
video
But I guess we could have a party. Another friend of mine mentioned having one a little while after you did. [So... yeah, not that strange, she guesses.]
video
[ FP doesn't sound bothered at all by overthrowing her own father, but from what she recalls, he didn't sound particularly pleasant. ]
Hey, um... what happened to your dad?

FGAHJK
... so he's still... alive?

... I see.
I'm sorry he ever did that to you, FP.

It's a very brave thing you did, standing up to your father.
