IC INTRO - JAN 2019

Sometime after the group all heads back down the mountain, comes another mass text from home base -

Hey guys? We started getting some weird readings overnight... It might be good if you started heading back this way? We're not sure what the Fissure is doing right now. (,,꒪꒫꒪,,)

So back you had better come! Along with that new friend of yours, who surely won't raise questions...

With the time issue being what it is, it's over the course of a day or two that people actually get back to the Station. Thus, there is no single feast set up like usual; instead, there are lots of hot drinks and various pots of soup made up throughout the two days that people trickle back to base. It's warm and filling, can't ask for much more.

The Station you return to hasn't changed that much from the one you left, though all your left behind pets are very glad to see you. It's now January and frost is on the ground, though not snow, at least for now. There is an air of emptiness around the Station that the first group of arrivals - the few of you who remain - will likely find familiar, though the murder sign has been updated while you were away as usual.

The androids, for their part, are very glad to see everyone (or at least, most everyone) returned safe and sound. (Though certain injured parties are destined for the medbay and Strange's fussing before they even get a chance to settle on rooms of their own.) In particular, Muon - now in a bright yellow vest instead of her previous scarf - spends a lot of time hanging out in the glider bay to welcome everyone back, both new faces and old.

TRADING POST - STRANGE - MUON - SIGNAGE CATCHALL - And don't forget to get on the housing post!

Gods are the worst, dreams are fine. ... Usually. Unless you have extensive trauma or anxiety.

Well, I've only ever had three, and two of them sucked.

I like...two of the gods we met. But we met way more than two, and I'm honestly not even sure one of the ones I'm friends with is god of anything in particular.

Virtually all of my experiences with gods have been bad in the long run.

[Which he apparently doesn't have to explain in detail, great.]

Dreams, on the other hand... Well, I'm a more nightmare-inclined sort, but on the whole I like them well enough.

Guess you'd just have to get used to it.

[Humans.]

We don't have gods, where I'm from. I don't know why everyone thinks it's so strange to have demons and angels without gods.

Probably something to do with their homeworld mythology. I don't know, I've no idea what an angel is in this context.

Supposed to be the good equivalent of a demon. From what I've seen, they're mostly just not actively cruel. There's something to be said for the evils of inaction.

Oh, aye. I've been guilty of that one a fair few times myself.

[Still, best explanation he's gotten so far. Thanks, Michael.]
