Normally, I would think what I'm about to ask is an odd question, but given the location and the circumstances, maybe not so much.

( this is gonna make for a good first poke at the network, innit, sammy? )

How many of you actually know about monsters? Spirits, things that go bump in the night, that sort of thing? Because where I'm from, they're pretty common, and I've noticed from meeting others here that it isn't that way for everyone.

( which is how it should be, if you ask him. nobody should know that the thing in their closet is real. )

Next question. Would anyone be interested in learning about things like that, and how to protect yourself against them?

( there. it's out there. he's doing a good thing. )

( well at least they're in agreement on that. this is almost beginning to sound like a perfectly normal conversation. )

The absolute worst.

I would REALLY hope that no one coming in here would need to be told not to eat people. Unless by some messed up twist Jeffrey Dahmer comes through the door.

I'd hope so too, but like... With all the different types of places the people here are from, who knows.

[With the terrible luck most of the people here seem to have, they'd fail to warn the one person who comes from a culture that doesn't have a problem with cannibalism.]

( okay that's ... true, whether he wants to admit to it himself or not. and the thought of it kind of makes his skin crawl. )

Point.

All the more reason to make sure we pass around as much info as we can.

[He doesn't like the idea a whole lot either.]

Yeah. I think someone had talked about writing a welcome packet before or something? But nothing really happened with it as far as I know.

[He can't remember who it was either; they may not even still be here.]
