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.

[uh]

"Robot" and "tuberculosis" are?

[cuedoves]

It doesn't make any sense.

ANYWAY.

Is everyone sick?

[purrtagonist]

I don't know. Are you feeling sick?

[cuedoves]

I'm not not feeling sick.

[purrtagonist]

Then maybe you aren't sick.

But keep an eye out anyway, okay? Just in case.

[cuedoves]

No I mean I'm not feeling healthy. And everyone I've talked to has been sick too.

[purrtagonist]

That's why you shouldn't use double negatives.

[GOSH]

But if so many people are getting colds, then maybe that's what we've got to be on the lookout for.

[cuedoves]

[ or maybe you should learn to read akira :/ :/ :/ ]

We've already spotted plenty of sick people.

[purrtagonist]

[:/!!!]

So we'll look for more.

Duh.

[cuedoves]

[ :/ ]

My point is have we spotted anyone NOT sick?

[purrtagonist]

There are a couple of people who have commented to this message saying they aren't feeling sick at all yet.

[cuedoves]

That's something. Maybe it isn't affecting everyone.

[purrtagonist]

Yeah. That's my hope.

[cuedoves]

Now we just have to figure out how to stop it.

[purrtagonist]

Too bad I'm not a doctor.

[cuedoves]

Is anyone here?
