Drip has settled into a pit, and is approached by several Star Fish who have snuck into the premises.
They want a story and start spraying him with poo in order to get him to tell one. He reluctantly begins to tell a story of a young man named Herbie, who was born without limbs or a torso. His girlfriend ends While telling his story, he trails off, prompting the Star Fish angrily demand he speak up. He tells them the acoustics in his pit are terrible, and to lean in closer.
