That sounds...

Quick question, there weren't any Cyclopes around, were there?

Cyclopes?

[shakes his head]

Nothin' like that. Just a bunch of kids, 'sides from the sheep.

Unless yer countin' meeeeeee.

[ HATES THAT HE LAUGHS BEFORE HE CAN STOP HIMSELF ]

— uh, no, definitely not. It sounded a little like a place I've seen once, but guess it wasn't the same thing.

What kinda place?

What he said.

[ shrugs ]

Sea of Monsters. There's an island full of sheep there too, and it's a place kinda separate from the mortal world — time passes differently, and no normal mortals can get in there, let alone leave alive. But Polyphemus lives on that island too and, trust me, he's hard to miss.

Huh . . . it does sounds similar. But I don't think the place we were even had a name.

Nahhh, nothin' like that.

Guess that's one thing we can rule out for sure.

Mmm.

[nods to the board] Bro's got his own, s'got some different stuff but this is what we've been doin' since we realized the visions are our memories.

I plan on usin' the shore leave to try'n confirm some things, like seein' if things like the people we remember actually exist there. If they do, that doesn't necessarily debunk a buncha shit — just gives us more to chew on.

If they don't, people are gonna freak out.

[ breathes out slowly ]

And we don't know how many of them might be Legends too. There have been enough for three trips now, and the Showmaster didn't seem too stressed about the idea of starting over with a fourth.

She did say that we always come back, too.

[ just sort of flops back on the bed, watching them for now. he has nothing to add. ]

...yeah. And, weirdly, I believe her on that one.

Ain't weird at all, 'cuz I believe her too.

Hell, she don't gotta make me. They got somethin' of mine I want back.

That's been my attitude. Fuck y'all, that's mine. Give it back.

For real. I want my memories back. And more than that...

[ looks at gray ]

...I meant what I said. I'm coming back to this ship until this whole thing is done. Remembering more about myself just made me even more sure about that. We will be the last set of performances.

Why ain't I surprised.

[also glances at Gray]

But I think we both agree with that.

Damn right we'll be the last. Whoever did this is gonna pay out the ass.

Oh, yeah. It'll be fun getting a little payback.

Gotta teach 'em they fucked with the wrong guys this time.

[ cackles where he's laying.

hell yeah. ]

[ hold on gotta fistbump ore and also gray ]
