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.

[ riza is just going to SIGH VERY QUIETLY TO HERSELF and think about how roy is currently back in their room, complaining about how he's falling apart and certainly dying. ]

A larger number than normal people, coming back feeling ill, with Astoria saying you 'brought something back'?

I don't think it's a coincidence, and I think those of us who feel well enough should be prepared in case it gets worse.

[poor Roy Mustang, his life is so hard]

Yeah.

[there's a pause between his agreement with her assessment and his next response]

Is anyone here a doctor, though?

[ :|||||| ]

I don't know- it would be worth looking into. That, and if anyone received healing powers when they arrived.

[purrtagonist]

That can be our first point of action.

[finally, something concrete to be done]

Ask around for healers and doctors willing to remain on standby. Just in case.
