So uh... Hey everyone. Again.

[He could probably get a better opening line, but whatever. Moving on.]

I know like, a bunch of people just arrived so... Welcome, I guess. We're still working on the newbie's guide to waking up in a cave-city run by gods, but until then like, if you have any questions I can try and help? Also uh, it's probably safe at this point and we're just being paranoid, but you may want to avoid eating any meat products you find here. For reasons.

[MOVING ON.]

Also uh, sort of related, but I was thinking that maybe before next month we should really... Plan some way to help out? I mean, people just sort of show up and half the time there's monsters too, and... Maybe some sort of organized thing for helping the new people not get like, eaten or whatever would be a good idea.

[This is not exactly his area of expertise, so if other people want to take charge on this he's more than happy to let them, but otherwise he'll try and figure something out. It really seems like something important to get established.]

In uh, a rare moment of good news though, the whole coffee thing worked out. So if you want coffee there's some at Delight's bar now, though you'll have to like... Be kind of patient with me and the others being possibly terrible baristas. Still kind of getting the hang of the whole thing.

[But surely coffee itself is well worth any less-than-practiced customer service; they're at least pretty good at making coffee, including somewhat elaborate drinks, and as far as Chris is aware they're all trying. That's what counts, right?

Right?]

I think that's about it, except for that like... If anyone's curious, the handheld games from the arena this month are just normal games. I thought maybe they'd be some sort of weird alien-versions of them, but I guess not; I took one apart and it was all the expected stuff inside it.

That said I'm totally betting I can beat anyone's high scores.

[...Castiel what are those gestures supposed to be. But okay, Chris gets the point, even if he's still having a little trouble reconciling the person he's talking to with the concept of Biblical angels.

But okay, sure. Weirder things have happened, so he'll just... Accept this, at least for now.]

Okay. Well, um, sort of, but I guess it's just... Kind of worth it? Yeah, there might be some downside, but I'd rather give her extra power than give it to like, Rage or Fear. And I mean, I don't think either of them is like... Not doing something that they'd then do out of jealousy? They seem to just do whatever they want whenever they want and can.

[ Castiel nods, thoughtfully. He has to agree with the logic, after all, because if it were his choice to feed fear or desire (it pretty much isn't, not even a little bit), he'd help Desire out every time.

But he hums to himself, thoughtfully, and muses out loud. ] --And perhaps they'll learn from whatever mistakes they made last time.

[He pauses a moment.]

You mean like... Whatever happened to make Hope have to bring all of them but Fear back to life?

[Because he's been wondering about that.]

Is that what happened? Then yes, that. There must have been a reason.

Yeah. We don't know exactly what it was, but something happened that left all the gods but Hope and Fear dead, I guess? And also wiped out all the uh, people or beings or whatever that were here before us. I dunno if they happened at the same time or not.

[But he'll guess they're probably related.]

Dead, or at least gone because there was no one here to worship them.

Maybe that was the cause of it; I mean, who knows what happens if they don't get any emotions from people?

That's how things were for creatures such as them in the world I came from, at least.
