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.

did you change your major to buzzkill while i wasn't looking

FINE no bikini baristas

You know I could answer that seriously and really buzzkill, but to prove a point I'm not going to.

Instead I'll just say hey man, you're welcome to suggest the idea to Em. Just don't do it until I have a chance to watch her reaction.

hahaha no thanks

not unless i decide to go for the record of most times dead

Yeah speaking of that you seriously need to ease up.

[In other words please stop dying bro it's upsetting even though you come back.]

hey man i uh

yeah youre right this shit sucks

Hopefully you've gotten all the bad luck out of the way early.

I'd say we should take precautions or something with the events but it's kind of hard to know what we're up against until they're already going on though.

sure would be nice if i could run out of bad luck

im gonna just like

stay inside forever and hope that works out

Sounds like a good plan to me.

I'm pretty sure I've been telling you for like ten years that nothing good ever happens outside.

thats just cause youre a super nerd afraid of the sun

but i kinda get it now

I am totally not afraid of the sun but yeah the super nerd part I can't argue with.

Finally.

im pretty sure being afraid of the sun is a requirement for super nerdery

Well maybe but I prefer to think of it as mutual caution rather than fear.

so the sun is scared of you too?

Totally. I'm just that badass and intimidating.

[It's a good thing this is text because even Chris wouldn't be able to say that with a straight face,]

yeah that sounds legit

chris sunkiller
