NAME - George “Mr. Volcano” Volcano
OCCUPATION - Bottled water spokesvolcano
GOAL - “Fill the whole WORLD with volcanicity!!!”
CURRENT PLACEMENT: 5th place, 56.8% (WR2M1)
----
FAUX’S NOTES: Everyone loves George. Even if they don’t want to admit it, they do. George is huge and somehow gets around perfectly, not stumbling into anything or toppling over. I suppose the rules of respecting puppetry apply to him tenfold. He’s a little past his prime, reminiscing over his friends in “the days where he pinched back,” but he’s trying to change and grow. Funny how a volcano refuses to stay stagnant… I’ve had plenty of non-project related conversations with him and he’s quite the gentleman. I knew I made the right choice picking him out of the batch.

Normal Stuff

I'm so stupid.
All this time spent searching, and I still can't find her.
...
I hope the others are fine.  
With how... strange the mountain feels, how I'm finding shards from broken mirrors on the ground...
...I don't think...

...I have to keep looking. 
Neither me or Madeline... can do this alone.
