07 ☆ Returning Returner

The Tree has seen fit to greet my return from the elevator with a flashy getup I cannot change out of and alterations to my personal effects. I suppose it confirms that one thing has not changed since I last wrote.

Youth, 00, Smoke, Mindelan, Gene, Huo & Hawk - My gratitude for your concerns. I am safe and sound. It was difficult to tell apart day and night back there, but from the cycle of eating and getting hungry, I estimate 1-2 days have passed. Yet, the number of journal pages filled suggests a longer period. How long have I been away? I mis would enjoy meeting you over a cup of tea or coffee. Or pie or pasta. Or anything, really. Foodless is fine too.

Dr Valeth and [Housekeeping NPC supervisor] - My apologies for the absence. I shall report for duty on Monday if it is acceptable to you. By acceptable I also refer to the long fringe trims on my jacket. They look awfully easy to get caught in things.

How did post-hurricane cleanup go for everyone? My house got through just fine, but the humidity seemed quite severe, judging from the state of my components rack. (Unlikely but) does anyone have a proper chamber oven for baking PCBAs? Otherwise I'll have to use a toaster oven but... not sure if the heat distribution's even enough.

[ooc: Mun feels like going local. For the Rockstar event, Stellaris is dressed as Anggun from her 90s 'lady rocker' days [1][2], meaning: red beret & garish fringe jacket, with black top, denim shorts and suede boots. Accessories include xbox hueg digital watch, at least 3 necklaces and enough bangles to compete with an Indian bride.]

There was no warning and people died. So yeah, worse than the hurricane. As for the cause--[He thought back to the mysterious coded hint they received over the journals. "Fugue did it. Fugue did it." Though he believed it, the informant admitted they had no real proof, only an inkling]--no one really knows.

[He hitched one shoulder upward in a shrug, then took a sip of his now room temperature coffee as a means of masking his expression, which he was sure came off as none too charitable at the moment.]

I know some did. Probably even most, but I doubt that everyone was accounted for. It was a lot of people.

[The sigh caught his attention. This... likely wasn't the sort of conversation she was looking to have right after getting back to the Sphere.]

I suppose we're lucky, in a way. Despite the tacky commemoration, we didn't really have any repeats of the situation. [He waved a hand to indicate the general area around them.] After that, it's been pretty tame, really. A few weapons missing, some language censored, and an odd costume change. [He tapped at his armour-like shoulder pads for emphasis.]

So now you're up to date.

What can I say? We're a resilient bunch.

[If only because they had to be. She was right, they became stronger, adapted to their surroundings... it wasn't all bad. Not all good by any stretch of the imagination, but not all bad, either.]
