[Here's a familiar face that hasn't shown up on the network in a while now. Santo is hanging out in front of the monitor, still flexing his hand and making sure that he can move it without any problems. He's still to afraid to try to reassemble himself.]

Hey, nerds! Long time, no see!

Do you wanna know what really sucks? I'll tell you anyway. It's being totally unable to move, so you're stuck on a couch for weeks without any TV to watch. I mean, come on, there's aren't even any old episodes of Law & Order to kill time with.

None of you probably get that though, since you were off having adventures and saving turtles or whatever. Lucky jerks.

Anyway, I've been bored forever now, and really need some kind of entertainment. Anybody wanna spar and see if I die when I break apart? Come on, it'll be fun on a bun.

Or, you know, tell me a story about what's been going on here. Or something from your home. I'm totally good for anything. I mostly just want to make sure everyone isn't dead, so check in, guys. You know... The important ones... Which is everybody, cool?

[He starts to shut off the feed, but then stops for a moment, looking a bit unsure.]

Oh, and... Witch- I mean, Wanda? There's something I need to talk to you about. I kind of meant to do it a while ago, but... Yeah, forced to become a couch boulder.

[OOC: And with this, Santo is officially off hiatus!]

So they don't go out of the water, and I don't get into it. I don't know what they can do or whatever.

... I haven't studied many hybrid Atlanteans either. I mean, the only one around is Namor.

Do you even breathe, though? I bet you could stand the pressure all the way down, and you don't have blood, so you wouldn't get the bends coming up.

[So that pretty much makes him better than a regular surface dweller already.]

It's not surviving under the water that's a big deal. I mean, I went out that one time the turtle dove to the bottom and all.

[He shrugs.]

It's the coming up part that's hard, since I can't float or swim really.

What, you afraid of a little walk?

[trololo]

More like I'm afraid of being stuck in a trench and total darkness for like a hundred years. Also, Utopia was a floating rock. The only way up is for someone to come and get me, and like hell I'm waiting on James Cameron.

...Who? Does he have some kind of water mutation?

[She's from 1992 and would regard The Abyss as a comedy.]

Yeah, it's called having a metric crap-ton of money.

If that's a power, call Dr. McCoy, 'cause I've just manifested a secondary mutation.

... What, you're loaded?

Santo. I inherited all my mother's estates and titles, and I'm the heir presumptive to the Atlantean throne. What do you think?

[This might be the only time she's actually spelled it out for someone on the turtle.]

How was I supposed to know? I mean, does Atlantean currency even count on the surface? And you could have just been one of those people's princesses, where everyone loves you but you don't have that much.

You don't act rich.

We've got loads of gold.

[She wiggles down in her chair, looking a little distant.]

Atlantis is an absolute monarchy. It's hard for Americans to understand how the people feel about the royal family...or how we feel about them. On the surface I can just be Nita 'cause no one cares--but if Namor disappeared [again] or died I'd go back and be the Princess Namorita and sit in regency...and I'd act a lot more like Namor does.

[Santo miiiiiight have tripped over something Nita's given a lot of thought to.]

Hopefully Namor will stick around then for your sake. Seriously, you're way too nice to be a douche like him. And I feel like Emma wouldn't really be your type anyway...

The speedo would be a good look for you, though.

[Sorry not sorry]

[Ignoring everything else, including Santo being Santo, because:]

Frost? [Eww.] Santo, I did not need to know that.

[Knowing Namor, she suspected, of course, and there was that Sentinel attack on Atlantis a while back that rumor persisted in linking to a surface woman who wore all white...but Nita had been happy with plausible deniability.]

All I'm saying is that I think you're king guy has a type...

...

... And it's busty blondes.

[Given the fact the only blond Namor knew growing up was his cousin, it makes you wonder. Well, it makes people more perceptive than Santo wonder, anyway.]

He can do what he likes, but ugh.

[Nita, you're dating 90s Rich Rider. Shut up about other people's romantic taste.]

[Santo isn't going there because she's his cousin. That's just wrong! And he doesn't want her to hurt him.]

You're not a fan of the White Queen, huh?

Firestar's on my team, you know. That woman has a lot to answer for.

[Emma was still thoroughly a villain in the late 80s/early 90s.]
