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.

Let's hope it doesn't affect anyone robotic. It shouldn't, evidence speaks otherwise.

We'll see. ...hm, I think we've covered most of what needs pre-prepared for. Can you think of anything else?

[purrtagonist]

No, but I've also never prepared for a plague before. And I'm no doctor.

[spaceforged]

Well, there's a first time for everything. Even plagues, I guess.

[Bad joke, but it's terrible on purpose.]

[purrtagonist]

Yaaaaaaay.

[Shiro can hear the dryness in Akira's voice]

[spaceforged]

Yeah I know. Anyway, I'll keep track.

And we weren't captured. Nothing was removed or placed into us. So it's very likely NOT space demons or malicious alien space druids.

[He would know...]

Talk to you later.

[purrtagonist]

[that. gets a huffed laugh from Akira]

Thanks for the optimism.

But yeah. We'll talk later. Stay safe.
