[perhaps this is a couple of days overdue but Law was honestly hoping someone more altruistic than him would make this message. Nope. So it's up to Dr. Asshole. Also, still shirtless and yes, without his hat today.]

Obviously, it's hot.

Those of you who've been underground for more than six months - especially the ones who haven't seen the sun in years - pay attention. This information is for everyone but particularly you.

Limit your exposure. Cover your damn skin if you haven't been exposed to sunlight in a year or you're going to burn to a crisp. We can treat burns but exacerbating it will only leave you vulnerable to infection. Don't be doing anything strenuous during the hottest part of the day, save it for first thing in the morning or after the large sun goes down. And for fuck's sake drink more water than you think you need. If you don't feel thirsty that means you're already affected.

Heat exhaustion can kill. And I don't think anyone wants to be dead right now.

[and, well, if anyone hasn't quite noticed the water effects yet...] Sorrow's temple water supply is my personal choice. But don't make that trek during the blazing heat if you're nearer to a different one.

Blessings. [SNORT] The water plants are edible too. I hesitate to call it 'seaweed' since it's not from the sea, it lacks the salt content of kelp or nori, but it's still good.

Basically, so far so good. No one will starve and even dysentery seems unlikely. We could have had it far, far worse.

I can imagine. I'm sure we all could, at the moment.

[He's seen starvation deaths,before; as deaths go he'll take the sword any day]

[A small smile] We could call them intoxicants, I suppose, but that might confuse people.

[hot_mes]

Yeah, I don't really want to be drunk on Fear.

[that sounds gross, Fingon]

[utulien_aure]

That would definitely be the last thing we need now.

[Heat-crazed and paranoid people with weapons seem like such a good combination]

Speaking of warnings and the pools, it's been suggested to me that we should avoid Desire's on the off-chance it could still empower her.

[Shrugging] It doesn't seem likely to me, but perhaps it's better to be cautious.

[hot_mes]

I have a feeling there's a lot of people who'll avoid it out of spite.

[Admittedly he did think twice, himself, but steering cleer was more about not wanting to be a giddy idiot when he needs his wits about him]
