So I got a question.

[ He drags a hand down his face; he's tired and not entirely sure why he has to be the one to ask this. But apparently he has to be the one to ask this because he's worried and people should be informed.

But seriously, this is so far out of his comfort zone that we're in the Andromeda galaxy, so just... give him a second. He's not used to talking about this to the mass public. ]

How many of you've had something shitty from home show up here? [ .... Sigh. Okay. Too vague. Try again.

-- Once again, he does not like this. ] And by something I mean a creature, a being, some fucker you never wanted to see again. Not some person you've decided is the scum of the Earth- [ here's lookin' at you, Ruby. And yes, he means that rather purposefully ] - because i'm not up here to ask you about that chick you didn't like that one time who's made an entrance.

I mean monsters. Shit that does more than go bump in the night. Because if we all start bringing this kinda crap from where we come from, we're gonna have a problem and not nearly enough people are gonna know what to do with it. I mean, just counting what could come outta my own world-- [ grumble grumble. ]

So what I wanna know is if this's happened more than once. We already got enough here to keep track of, I just wanna know if anything that people know more about's followed you here.

Great. Just as awesome.

I'm just gonna assume they're not a thing in my world until proven otherwise.

[Because wendigos are a big enough upset to his worldview, let alone anything else, and he definitely doesn't need to be worrying about things that might not even exist.]

[torrefied]

As long as we're all stuck here, it doesn't really matter, does it - what you'll want to be concerned about is whether they exist here.

[Duh, Chris. Come on, buddy.]

[thechoiceisyours]

Yeah, well, same deal here.

[Too much to worry about without adding more to it.]

i think i lost this notif >_<

[torrefied]

Well, if a large number of people suddenly start dying under mysterious circumstances, that may be a sign.

no worries

[thechoiceisyours]

Or it's any day of the week in Hadriel.

[People dying is not a good indicator of much of anything here, as awful as that is to really think about.]

[torrefied]

What patterns have you seen in the past?

[thechoiceisyours]

Uh, besides the bullshit the gods pull once or twice a month?

[torrefied]

Please elaborate.

[Look, he even said please.]

[thechoiceisyours]

[Okay, yes, he did say please.]

You know the gods do things to make us feel whatever emotion they feed off of, right?

[torrefied]

Yes, Fear did mention that being his motivation for the dreams. What else have they done?

[thechoiceisyours]

A lot of stuff. There was a blizzard full of yetis, there was the time half the city got buried alive, there's the wendigo thing, rage making people try to kill each other, and a bunch of other shit. Those were the worst ones though.

[And really the blizzard hadn't been too bad, but a bunch of difficult things happened at the same time and sort of made it seem worse.]

[torrefied]

[All unpleasant things, to be sure, but nothing catastrophic. Mello's barometer is calibrated a bit differently than most people's.]

Those seem heavily stacked in Fear's favor. Is there any discord among the gods?

[thechoiceisyours]

Fear's were a little more memorable than most of the others. Besides, when I got here it was just Hope and Fear anyway.

[And too bad you aren't asking this question after Delight's post, since then Chris would have a lot more details on this subject. But for now...]

I'm pretty sure they don't like Fear, but that's most of what I know.

[torrefied]

Why do you think they don't like Fear? Specifically.

[Come on, Chris, buddy, show your work.]

[thechoiceisyours]

[Sorry Mello. Chris does a lot of reading in between the lines, but doesn't have a lot of actual facts.]

I think he just generally causes a lot of problems for him. He seems to really annoy Hope specifically.

[torrefied]

[Interesting. And possibly useful.]

But you haven't investigated the reasons for that?

[thechoiceisyours]

Hope is not super good at answering questions, and I'm not huge on talking to Fear unless I have to.

[So he hasn't asked either of them about anything personal.]

[torrefied]

What about the other two? What do they have to say about Fear?

[thechoiceisyours]

I've never talked to Rage but she and Fear worked together in an event before so I guess they get along. I haven't asked Delight.

[torrefied]

[This is awfully sloppy work, Chris. Mello is disappoint.]

Someone should ask them. Direct methods of inquiry are better sources of information than speculation.

[thechoiceisyours]

[He would totally be offended if he'd actually meant to find anything out instead of just picking it up from other conversations.]

You can call them on their phones.

[In other words have at it, bro.]

[torrefied]

Maybe I will.
