[Chris gives a small wave and smile as the video opens, looking a little tired but otherwise pleased with himself.]

Hey, everyone. Just uh, a quick announcement that the emergency alert app now works with the GPS. You'll have to redownload it, but all your settings and whatever should just carry over to the new version automatically.

[There's a file attached to the post to download, and Chris is quiet a moment before continuing.]

And just like, if anyone's curious, magic GPS is not the easiest thing even to work with. Also, those are totally not words I ever thought I'd say.

[But whatever. He goes a little more serious then, adding in a last comment--]

I um, hope everyone's doing okay after the event, too.

[And he gives a small wave goodbye, though he doesn't end the broadcast just yet. Instead, he switches on a filter.]

[Private to The Guard]

Hey um, I also updated the version of the program that you use for check-ins. Same deal as with the emergency app; it should just update all your settings and whatever automatically, but you'll have to redownload it.

[Hadriel's phones need an autoupdate feature.]

Yeah our current place is five rooms and it works out for the seven of us since there's one couple and one pair of sisters. Getting a second place somewhere would just be kind of weird since we'd have to figure out who divides up where and then be separated during events and whatever.

[Which, as much as Chris would really like to have his own space and less roommates, would be even more unsettling. The group being split in two and then separated during a crisis is less than ideal.]

harder to keep track of a big group, ain't it?

[It's a gripe he's startin' to relate to a bit more than he'd like.]

Seriously. Especially this group.

[His friends tend to be the proactive types, especially after what happened on the mountain.]

you're all kids.
no wonder.

[Maybe not technically "kids." But they're younger than he is by a good amount, so they count as much.]

Hey, I'll have you know I turned twenty at some point in this whole mess and therefore am officially not a kid even more than I already was.

[He's joking, of course, though not about that he turned twenty at some point. It's weird to think about not being a teenager anymore.]

eh, you all look near enough like whippersnappers to an old bag of bones like me.

[Mostly he's joking. Mostly. He's not really sure how humans age in relation to everything, but they'd all seemed pretty young. Pretty young, but with the undeniable look in their eyes like they'd seen some stuff that aged 'em a little prematurely.

Besides, he's lived enough lives to be at least thrice as old as he physically is.]

Wow, super rude.

[He's not offended in the slightest.]

How does aging work for monsters where you're from anyway? What counts as being old?

[He's curious about this now that Sans has mentioned it, and hopefully it's okay to ask.]

depends on the kind of monster, really.
some species only age as their offspring do.
others just kinda stick around forever.

[Skeletons and tortoises don't really age in conventional means, after all.]

That's pretty cool. Way different from humans.

[He's a little jealous; living forever would be pretty neat. In theory, anyway.]

eh, it's not really all it's cracked up to be.
especially if everyone's stuck in the same dinky underground space.

[Overcrowding was, shall we say...A Problem^TM.]

Okay yeah you've convinced me already.

[Considering Chris was already having a problem with seven people in one house.]

I guess we're all immortal and stuck underground here already anyway.

pretty much.
so i guess you get a little taste of how it's like.

[But most monsters, like Sans, learned to grin and bear it a long time ago.]

No offense but I'm reviewing this situation as like a 5/10.

[He's not a fan.]

fair enough.
wasn't much fun back home either.
at least we didn't get periodically invaded by zombies or anything, so that was a plus.

Yeah, at least there's that.

[Though he's a little surprised zombies aren't just a type of monster in Sans' world.]

[Well, no one was undead in his world either. Skeletons were just another sort that fell under the "monster" umbrella.]

welp.
thanks for the gps.

Yeah, no problem. Hope it turns out to be worth it.

me too.
