[Alex really doesn't normally do video posts; her medium is audio. She's still on the planet obviously, sitting with an extremely large cup of what is obviously coffee in front of her, especially if anyone has met her before. But there's something unsettled about her right now and obviously so as she fidgets. In front of her is a small electronic device similar to a phone, and clearly there's something familiar to her on it, indeed it's embossed with a familiar image and an equally familiar back inside of the logo.]

Uh, so two things. One, does anyone else think that maybe we should be worried if Navi doesn't come back soon? I mean it's weird right?

[Alex fidgets harder and bites her lip before she asks softly:]

Has anyone else found anything from their own world on one of the planets? I mean not necessarily our own worlds because I've never seen anything like whatever this recorder is, but the stuff on it? I mean, that's...

[Alex pauses and then continues.]

This is my show, my podcast. It's weird that it's here in outer freaking space.

[betterhavemammoney]

There's stuff here from other worlds? Like where we came from? Cool!

You haven't seen any Harrison Porter stuff, have you? [That dorky wizard school movie has a special place in his heart, okay. And yes, that's what it's called in his universe.]

...Navi's gonna be okay, right? Like, no way they'd really be in trouble?

[11calls]

I haven’t seen them. I found this at the bottom of some stuff I was looking for music in. Which is kind of hysterical.

[For reasons. ]

I hope not. I mean we would know right? Cause we’re connected to her?

[betterhavemammoney]

Yeah, who sells podcasts? Thought they got paid through ads and sponsorships. I looked into it once, seems like a lotta work for not a lotta money.

Uh, I think so. Did they say what they were off doin'?

[11calls]

That’s how they’re made back home: sponsorship and ads. Mine is mostly bombas sucks, square space and the post office. But I mean that’s assuming everyone has a podcast app of some sort, you know?

They didn’t say anything to me, no.

[betterhavemammoney]

Well yeah, everyone does. At least everyone back home does, I don't know about here. I had ad-free Akumaster on my DDD. What was your podcast about? [He says that as if everyone would know Devildom app names and phone brand names because, well, why wouldn't they?]

Huh. ...They're probably fine, right?

Hey, did you pay for that recording or did they give it to you for free when they heard you?

[11calls]

I paid for it. I don't even know if they knew what it was that they had. It was pretty cheap, honestly. A part of me is a little bit offended by that. But it's definitely me on the recording, and it starts how I remembered. But there's twenty-four episodes, not counting the mini ones, and I definitely haven't had time to listen.

[But she had listened to the end in order to see how Nic had ended up cutting it for the finale because there had been a lot to process there; it was fine even if it's not what she herself might have done. At least she would have made some arguments with Nic about it anyway.]

It's about a paranormal investigator who doesn't believe in the supernatural and how he had these cases that he couldn't solve to his satisfaction. Yet, anyway. But it's a lot more than that, and he's here now. I don't know what if anything I should share.

[betterhavemammoney]

That's a scam, makin' ya pay for what you made! When I do magazine gigs I always get copies for free. ...Or I just take 'em. You shoulda done that.

Huh. Sounds... [Kind of funny, actually.]

Did you get the whole thing? Can we listen to it?

[11calls]

Well, I mean they didn't know I made it, and besides I didn't want to turn it into a thing and let them know that I've like got a stake in it.

[Or how dearly Alex would have paid for this.]

Um. There's someone from home on it, and he should probably listen to it first. It's not just my show... it's his life.

[Never let it be said that Alex doesn't learn anything.]

[betterhavemammoney]

...Well, that makes sense. I guess that's the best time for someone to undersell ya. [It still seems unfair to him, though. Alex should've been paid for her work or gotten it for free, no matter what planet they were on.]

Huh? But if it was in the show he should already know about it, right?

It sounds fun and it's boring in space. Can't we listen?

[11calls]

We're from different points in time and from what I can tell, the recording ends just after my memories do. It's like...almost two years for him that he's missing. So, no he doesn't know it, sadly.

[Would be so much easier if he did.]

Why don't we see what he has to say when it's done. It's my show but it's about his life.

[betterhavemammoney]

So he should listen to it. What's the problem?

[None of this is a reason for them to hold off on entertainment as far as he's concerned.]

Yeah, go ahead and start it and then he can talk!

[11calls]

Well, I mean, he may not want everyone to know.

[And also Alex herself made some very poor decisions on it, especially during the last year of it.]

[betterhavemammoney]

Then why'd you make the show?

[11calls]

I didn’t expect the show to be anywhere close to what it turned into. It was just supposed to be about a ghost hunter who doesn’t believe in ghosts. It...shifted
