Soooo how's everyone feeling?

[THIS MESSAGE HAS A PURPOSE HE SWEARS]

Serious question, by the way. I talked to Astoria as soon as we got back, and she was pretty worried about the way I. . . felt to her?

[GOD PUTTING IT THAT WAY SOUND WEIRD]

She said that I brought something back with me from Struxta. Something dark, evil, heavy. . . wrong? I don't know about you guys but absolutely none of that is confidence inspiring. Wonder why.

[AHA]

She also told me that the wilting plants around the temple aren't normal. "Everything here seems to be just here. Present, alive, blooming," is what she said, word for word. She's never seen anything here die before.

[. . .]

I don't really know what she's talking about, especially because I feel just fine. I don't think she does yet either, though I imagine she's going to investigate. Just be careful, all right? And if you notice anything off about yourself, let me or someone else know.






Because if we all came back possessed by space demons or infected by robot tuberculosis I'm gonna be pretty pissed.

So far I'm only a bit exhausted from the journey but otherwise I feel fine.

[The news that they had got infected with some strange space sickness felt a bit unreal at first and it took Tyrion a while to fully understand the meaning of the words he had just read.
It was somehow wrong in his understanding that they had got infected with something since he had assumed that Astoria would protect them. He didn't want to image what could happen when you got infected with a sickness from a different world.]

Do you think that it is lethal or that it is more like a flu?

[He didn't have a lot of medical knowledge, mostly the basic knowledge people who are sometimes sick have.]

[purrtagonist]

I don't know.

[it's hard for Akira to say when he isn't even 100% sure it's a sickness at all. at least, not yet]

Maybe Astoria will be able to tell us more about. . . whatever it is, with time.

[smallprince]

I hope she will find out more about it. It's a bit worrisome that we should have brought something with us but then ... what do we know about other worlds?

[At least he wasn't someone who would run around and cause a panic because of these news. He tried being optimistic, telling himself that Astoria would do everything to find out more and find a cure as fast as she could.]

I admit, it sounds unbelievable, since no one seems to show any signs of being sick.

[purrtagonist]

Yeah. That's what I thought, too.







So maybe it really is space demons.

[Akira. but hey, at least he can joke]
