*He's been here since morning but he's taken that time to go through things on the network.*

Do we really never see the sun?

@ASolomons; audio

[devoutish]

No. Not really, no.

[standing_waters]

That's terrible. Even just a little sunlight could make a huge difference.

*To him, at least.*

[devoutish]

It's spring now, we think. We get a bit of daylight. In the winter, we had an hour or two of it; that was all.

[standing_waters]

*Oh man, its this cold while its spring? That boggles the mind.*

Kinda glad I missed winter, then.

Do you think its true the cloud cover and general weather is due to a nuclear winter?

[devoutish]

Dunno. Haven't got a clue.

With our luck? Summer would turn this place into a scorching death desert.

[standing_waters]

*He doesn't know Beckett's a vampire yet. Things'll get interesting once he does but for now he'll be friendly.*

I'd be alright with that, honestly.

[bookofnope]

Dying of dehydration would be a change of pace...

[standing_waters]

*Heh.*

See, there you go, already finding a bright side to it.

[bookofnope]

Oh, I'm a regular ray of sunshine, so to speak. Ask anyone.

[swatsflies]

Nope, but I have a stuffed one if that would help.

[ He can even send pics. ]

Yo, I'm Zell. Did you make it to shelter alright?

[standing_waters]

A stuffed sun?

*He chuckles a bit.*

Hey, better that than nothing.



I'm Manny. I haven't actually left the place I showed up in yet, so no problems on that end.

[swatsflies]

Yup! It adds something a little bright.

[ He will send a picture because it is cute cool. ]

Awesome. Have you figured out where you are?

[standing_waters]

Near one of those snow walls...but I haven't been outside much. Figured I'd check the network first.

[swatsflies]

Yeah, that's a good plan. If you see any writing or anything else, I might be able to tell you where you're at.

[ He's a god guide dog ]

seeing the sun is not good
you should not look directly at the sun if it appears

[standing_waters]

Ah, well...looking directly at the sun isn't good...I meant more seeing direct sunlight and clearer skies.

permatext

[ecks]

that is more sensible
I like seeing sunlight and clearer skies
mostly

[standing_waters]

I've always prefered clear days. Nothing better than napping in a nice, warm sunbeam.

*Even if human form it was nice.*

Only mostly, though?

[ecks]

I have never slept outdoors
it is not secure

[warriorscribe]

[The context indicates he probably meant to group call with Beckett's talk, but hit the wrong button. It happens to everyone, probably.]

Honestly I'd rather this be a desert. I know those.

[standing_waters]

*The desert? He hadn't...oh, it must be a misfire. Refering to @Mnemosyne's reply up there. Easy enough.*

I'm more familiar with the tropics myself, but I know some deserts. I'm a lot more comfortable with them than a climate like this.

[warriorscribe]

Ah- I meant to-...you seem to have understood anyway.

[Right. That sure was a mistake he made.]

I spent most of my life in a desert. There are...a surprising number of skills that still apply, but...

[He trails off on a sigh. "I miss the sun," he wants to say, but wonders if that might be rude in the company of a vampire? He would have to ask Beckett later.]

[standing_waters]

Yeah, don't worry about it.

Do they? I hope that holds true to what I know, then.
But?
