[It had been nearly a week, and Oscar was becoming worried.

Lessons he has learned on the other side of the Dream had taught him that sitting in the worry and letting it overcome him did no one any good-- least of all himself. Knowing this, Oscar tentatively turned on the Audio function of his new device and, with an obvious case of awkward nerves, started talking.]

Um... Hi.

I'm Oscar Pine and... I'm sure some of you know me already, but some of you don't and that's okay.

There was just a couple of things I wanted to say.

First: I know that things have been stressful lately and that we all need something to do, so I'm willing to teach people how to garden if they want a hobby that lasts a little longer than baking all the time. I'm a farmhand... And I did the baking thing. Growing and taking care of your own vegetables helps a little more, for a longer time.

And-- you can share your extra zucchini with your friends and loved ones. Isn't that cool?

I managed to bring along some seeds to get started. Just... Contact me if you're interested.

... and thanks, Mako, for the idea.

Second: is anyone else having trouble sleeping since they got here? I know being nervous makes sleeping hard, but this feels different. Anyone have any ideas about why this is happening, or how to help?

Last: ... I don't know about everyone else, but there's still some people I'm looking for that haven't come ashore yet. Can people just...chime in to let everyone know that they're safe? And let us know if there's anyone else you're looking for?

Maybe we can make everything a little easier if we work together. I don't know...

I'm just kinda worried, and some of you all probably are too.

I haven't had any trouble sleeping but I've been feeling super anxious lately- I can't quite figure out why thou-

[And suddenly her aura activates without any warning and she is suddenly very much on fire. Full on ignited.

It only lasts a few seconds before it quells and she's looking super startled.]

OH RIGHT! That's Why.

Video-- Action

[justoscar]

RUBY!!

[This was heard both within the house and through the device as Oscar threw it onto his bed and all but flew through the hallways. Grabbing a thick blanket on the way, he beelined at Ruby--

And tackled her with the heavy blanket, sending them both onto the floor.]

[onekindsoul]

[Ruby was still flailing around by the time Oscar made it downstairs with the blanket and she isn't quite paying attention when he suddenly tackles her down to the ground.

She lands with an umph. But before she can actually say a word ice suddenly just starts to form all around her. Before long there is a ruby shaped ice sculpture just laying on the floor.

She's fine. Totally fine.]

[justoscar]

Oh no no no no...

[The ice was new. The fire was new. And... Oscar panicked. Frantically tucking the blanket around her, muttered his nonsense fears under his breath.]

Please don't be broken. Yang will kill me! Please don't be broken, please don't be dead--

[onekindsoul]

[The frozen Ruby just sort of lays there for a long moment. The ice is hard as a rock but it eventually starts to soften and crack. The of breath coming from the encased person's nose and moth can be seen before it finally starts to break away.]

Ugh-Woah! Okay! That's not fun! Not fun at all!

[justoscar]

[Oscar heaved a heavy sigh of relief when Ruby crackled awake and loosed her complaints.]

Oh-- thank goodness you're alive!!

[He's just going to hug her, ice and all.]
