[It's not like she hasn't been glued to her istone ever since they vanished, but she didn't think it would like. Work. Do they have fish pockets?? It doesn't matter now because someone checked in. At least.]
It's all standing, except for the stuff I dropped. They're downside.
[She's gonna pick up the cups and stuff. Later. Probably.]
[Fish pockets aren't real and can't hurt you, Ren.]
We're good! Lot's of uh, lots of new friends down here? [Ones that would do great in the pan, or grilled with some thyme and garlic.] Not like a ton of treasures yet, but we just got here.
No ghosts, sweetie. [That's the one downside to exploring - how much it makes Ren worry. But she's a big girl who knows it's what they've gotta do. Also, they're for sure gonna find some ocean floor trash to bring home for her.]
Our friends got whole schools to chill with down here, I think they're good. Some of 'em have tiny homes of their own? It's sweet as hell.
[It's probably a surprise, given how tame the conversation is, how dead silent it suddenly becomes on her end. Because she says no ghosts-that's whatever. They're wrong. She's 100% wrong. There are ghosts down there, but that's the 99th problem meant for another day.
No, Lup said a word and that word makes her mind go into overdrive, as she tries to recollect how the ocean looked.
There are schools down there? That means it's baseball time all the time-how tf are they doing that with fins??]
You can't play baseball underwater. The waves will take the 'home run' away and then you can't get anymore points. I don't think that's a real 'school.'
[That's a ghost trap under the pretense of FUN GAME DAY is what THAT IS. Get it together lup GOD.]
[There's going to be an equally long silence as Lup suddenly finds herself in the position of figuring out like, just which exit off the mental highway Ren missed to get from schools to baseball?
[What does SHE think it is? She thinks it's haunted as hell and the details don't matter. Schools are for baseball-not underwater friends. She has a lot of theories, but they all end the same way. Ghosts are swimming down there. They sure. Are.
But if they can't play baseball underwater and it's a building, then-]
It's a Jail. [Pause] A mall. [Pause] A sewer.
[TAKE UR PICK. It's all terrible.]
That's why you have to be very careful. Those are scary places you can't play baseball at. You can only do that at a real school.

[Because she knows there's bad shit down there. Yall are just too brave for your own good and there's some spicy spirits just biding their time.]
Are your new friends lonely? Are they coming home with you?
