[Hey imPorts! Bet you need some joy in your life right now. Yeah? Then boy howdy are you in luck!]

Hi everyone! It’s Ripley! [A big smile and a wave.]

Wowzy! That was exciting, huh? But like, not the fun kinda exciting. More like… alligator in the swimming pool kind of exciting. Y’know? Cause like, it’s exciting, but also not a good thing. –Actually no, never mind! That would be awesome. I could make an alligator friend! I’d call him Eggbert. Or Walter. Those sound like good alligator names, right?

[There’s a long pause and then she whispers to herself with a concerned look:] Wait.

…what was I talking about…

OH YEAH! Not fun exciting. I know everyone’s like super upset, and definitely you should be! I totally am. But I’m also reeeeeeeeeeally tired from being upset, and I bet a bunch of other people are too! So we should all do something fun exciting now to relax, just for a bit, so that we’re all refreshed and ready to kick butts again!

I think I wanna try surfing, maybe. I’ve never gone surfing before, but it looks really cool in Lilo and Stitch. Or white water rafting, that’d be neat too. Or maybe something not in water. Skydiving! That’s really not in water.

What stuff do you guys wanna do?

--Also, hi! How’s everyone doing? [Maybe she should have led off with that.]

If you don't want to do something in water, you could go skateboarding. It's kinda the same.

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

Oh yeah, that's a super great idea! I like skateboarding, but I haven't done it in a long time! My sibling Walker taught me, they're really good.

You can't dive into the sky, it's all the way up in the air, zura!

[Video]

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

Not from the ground, but if you're already into the sky you can dive into more sky.

[protects_the_small]

...Why would you want to dive into the sky?

[That sounds like suicide and also tHe Worst]

[video]

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

Because you get to fall! And falling is such bananas awesome feeling.

[circulets]

I trust that diving from the sky isn't as dangerous as it sounds.

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

probably not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[But truthfully she has no idea how dangerous it is or isn't.]

[leonized]

[Well, he's gotten a little more used to talking to kids, at least. Although he's still not great at it.]

I don't know what any of the stuff you mentioned is.

[Surfing or whitewater rafting OR skydiving... fairies weren't really into extreme sports.]

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

Alligators are these like really big lizards that live in swamps and stuff. They've got huuuuuge teeth and there's this guy named Steven Irwin who used to wrestle with them!

--no. Wait. Those were crocodiles.

[That's what he didn't understand, right?]

[illuminescent]

But you are well enough, now?

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

Yeah, I'm good! Ain't no kidnapping and communists gonna get me down.

[bestever]

How is skydiving less exciting, but not in a fun way?

voice;

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

Noooo, see, skydiving is the fun thing! The unfun think is the bombs and the killing and the... yeah. That stuff.

I can say from experience that skydiving is super fun. At least from skyscrapers.

Not that I'm saying you should do it!

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

!!!!

but if it's fun why wouldn't I do it?? щ(゜ロ゜щ)

[airshow]

Skydiving sounds like the opposite of fun, but there's always hot air balloons if you wanna slip the surly bonds of earth for a while. Oh, or hangliding. Or jetpacks!

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

JETPACKS.

Do you know where to find jetpacks? Can I make this dream a reality?

[ Okay, Kitty debates whether or not this is okay, but...this girl seems like she'd be more delighted by this than frightened. So here, on the other end of the video, is: an alligator. Speaking with a human voice. ]

The yearly Alligator Conference has just sent me as a delegate to confirm that those are brilliant alligator names. Well done.

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

[EXCITED SCREAMING.]

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

Magic alligator!

How are you doing that!?

[Does she mean how is an alligator talking? Or how did a person be an alligator? Who knows.]

[resipiscent]

How about crocodile names?

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

Hmmmmm... Carl and Steve.
