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.

[But it does, and then sometimes people who leave come back, and Chris really believes there has to be a pattern to it but no one has figured out what that pattern is.]
Thanks. I um, ran into someone else in the arena--Bob; he's still here--and he uh... Really is why I didn't get eaten or something.
[Because Chris might've been more mentally prepared to deal with monsters than Bob, Bob had definitely been the more capable one for other reasons.]
I don't know about those ones exactly, but yeah. There's monsters in the caves that are around the city, and um... Sometimes the gods let them loose in the city, too.
voice;
[ Any possibility of there being any way out is of interest to York. And about the monsters, well, transparent ones with giant mouths or whatever hell else is here, monsters in the caves, monsters out past the city. He's heard of them, but he's not really strayed much out past the city ruins.
Maybe he should, one of these days, just to see for himself. ]
Well hey, listen, if you ever need someone else to keep you from not bein' eaten, I could probably do that. [ See, he's a nice guy. Likes to keep the peace, that generally involves preventing people from being eaten in his vicinity. ] Beating you at video games isn't the only thing I'm good at.
[ He's a space marine! ]
voice;
[It sucks, and then there's the searching for them in case they're hurt or something, and then the period of waiting to see if they're dead and will come back or if they're truly gone.
And awwww, that kind of offer is always appreciated.]
Well, you know, I'm not gonna turn down like... Lessening my chances of being eaten, so I'll probably take you up on it if it's ever like, full on monster city in here again. If you uh, are interested in like, working in a group to make sure this place is at least sort-of safe, there's also a city patrol thing that's getting going? My friend Maketh runs it.
