[A mass video is sent out over the Shellwork. Featuring Wirt looking both confused, scared, and bound very loosely in rope. Loose enough that he could slip an arm out and hold his shellphone in front of himself. Behind him is large group of... crabs?

CRAAABBB PEEEOOOPPPLLLLEE CRAAAAAABBBB PEEEEOOOOPPPLLLEEE

[But yeah, they still look like crabs. And there's a lot of them.]

[Thus ends the strange adventures of Ranma.

Rest in Pickles.

Anyway, hi, hello, Ranma. Wirt is kind of just kind of... hanging out right now. Still thinking and deliberating. Listening to the whole spiel of how the Crab people once pulled the beaches with a mighty clawed... er, claw. And whole a bunch of other, backstory stuff that he's sure is important!

Kind of like spamming the space bar during a cutscene in a certain game that lacks a skip button.

Anyway, he's really thinking of slipping out right now.]
