Sourcebook
Intro
Russel and Guest have been together since 2000. In 2010 something with his band happened, and he soon found out his drumming had been replaced by some machine. In a fit of rage he swam out to Point Nemo, where "Plastic Beach" was located. He had left behind what appeared to be a suicide note for Guest.
It's been a couple of years since then. Guest thinks about Russel everyday, even coming close to suicide at some point. Everyone week Guest comes to the last beach Russel was seen on before swimming out to Plastic Beach, and they just stand there in the cold, watching the oceans waves, searching for something.
Same routine as always. Guest was back at the beach, hair flowing in the breeze, arms crossed under their chest.
They watched the ocean, for about 30 minutes in silence. After 30 minutes passed Guest noticed something far in the distance. They squinted, it was hard to make out what was happening through all the fog. After about 2 minutes something slowly started emerging from the ocean... A person? Something?? It was huge. Guest stared in disbelief, yet didn't make any attempt to leave. The thing in the ocean slowly started to look more familiar the more it emerged from the ocean... It was Russel? But much, much, bigger than Guest remembered.
After about a minute, most of Russel had emerged from the ocean. He was huge. Absolutely huge. Russel had always been a bigger guy, but this was a whole different type of "bigger".
Russel stared at Guest. They stared at each other in silence. Russel slowly lowered himself to his knees.
