In the interest of having it completed some time this century, I'm taking over the project to create a guide document for new arrivals.

[And he's starting it from scratch, no thanks to Chris.]

If you can tear yourselves away from telling ghost stories long enough to reply, I'm interested to know what information you found most helpful when you first arrived, as well as what you would have liked to know sooner rather than later.

how much of a fucking asshole you are

Noted.

[And disregarded. youtried.jpg]

Is that all?

[unfollowing]

thanks, sweetie. i'll let you know if anything comes up

[torrefied]

I'll be sure to hold my breath in anticipation of your surely stunning future contributions.

[unfollowing]

oh, you know it

[It's sad that this is the most fun she's had in a while, but she'll take what she can get.]

Who was here.

[Yes she answer your question try not to faint.]

[While Nick isn't exactly trusting of Mello at this point, at least the guy is taking a step in some semblance of the right direction. And that being the case, he replies.]

Noting the locations of the temples, the clinic, the Guard headquarters, and the stores would be good. Those are the questions we get a lot when talking to the newcomers.

a map would be helpful.

[zen_en_vert]

Where to get a first square warm meal, and how to pick empty housing.

where are your friends?

[torrefied]

Are you asking me, or are you saying that's something that should go in the guide document?

text

[torrefied]

You can easily look that up in the phone directory.

[torrefied]

[It would be, yes.]

Are you aware of anyone who can draw one?

[torrefied]

What do you suggest listing for the first?

[skelebro]

doesn't have to be fancy. anyone with a basic conception of space and depth should be able to slap something together.

[Just not, you know, Sans. Because that sounds like work, and work just ain't his thing.]

[text]

[torrefied]

So you're suggesting a map.

[Not the worst idea, though he'll probably omit the Guard headquarters, because he's him.]

Anything else?

[torrefied]

Yes, what would we all do without Esteemed Emily.

[This is all through text, of course, but if it were audio, Mello's tone would be dry as a goddamn desert.]

[synthedick]

[Nick fully expects that, with Mellow being who he is and his history with them, and Nick will just sigh every time he has to explain where the dang place is.]

That's all I've got. Looks like other people have the rest covered.

[But also:]

Good to see you're doing something useful for the folks coming in.

[He means that, too.]

[torrefied]

There's no point in creating a map if it isn't easily readable.

[Mello may have many skills, but cartography isn't one of them.]

[torrefied]

I neither want nor need your approval.

[He's doing it because it needs to be done. Frankly, it was embarrassing to have L show up and ask for a document like this and have to tell him it still didn't exist.]

[synthedick]

I didn't expect you did. Just thought I'd mention it.

[He looks thoughtful for a moment]

[He shrugs after that]
