Hang in there, everyone... This should just be only a couple weeks more right? The darkness at least. I've been on a planet for so long I forgot how to manage the darkness effects at first...
But take it from me and some other folks who worked or lived in space-
Try your best to keep a routine of "day" and "night" hours so your body has some sense of cadence
It should help you feel less messed up when theres no daylight to rely on
(To say nothing of the bugs which you should already know to be avoiding by now)
I'll try to think up any other good tips but the sleep cycles a big one
If you need help getting around too let me know
I don't mind lending a hand

So that's why it was all bright downstairs when I got home?
I thought that was just a lamp

[siriusly]

you didnt actually turn into a lamp did you

[megatheorem]

[Oh, hey dog!! Palamedes' eyebrows go up - but like, is the dog coming too... surely a helpful friend...]

Sure. Let's meet at the lamp in Willful Machine, by the canals. Plenty of buildings to duck behind in case of an emergency over there, too.

[A beat.]

I didn't ask if you're ready to do this right now. I've got time.

[siriusly]

Ah, ha--ri, right. I don't mind. [and neither will the dog; more people to lavish him with attention and pets?? sounds like a party.]

Though I may want to make a pitstop at the Roost... To get some containers, you know?

[megatheorem]

That's fine by me. I have a few jars left and I'm already nearby; meet me when you're ready to head out?

[He can do some loitering in the dark, that's fine. Only a little counterintuitive to the buddy system, but if it's right next to a lamp? It could be worse.]

ughhhh
i hated this back in Deerington and i hate it here
at least there's no rivers of blood?

[arclightning]

Can you still make fire? Everything working like it should? Been trying to keep to a routine. Tough when I'm never warm. No idea how the Water Tribes live with this for half the year.

This is going to sound peculiar and absolutely rudimentary, but how does one divide one's days into days and nights?
I'm an Arcane Scholar, it's ridiculously easy to lose myself in classes and books so that even when there is a divide, I don't necessarily sense it. Or follow it.
However, this seems to be a horse of a different color.
I don't want to be eating bacon and gruyere omelets at midnight.

[siriusly]

[he nods before straightening up where he sits. such a proper man.]

Mn. That'll work. Stick near some light out there, okay?

[i do have an open for stuff here if you wanted to play out, or we can wave - whatever's comfy for u!]

[siriusly]

I shouldnt be surprised to hear something like this happened there
How are you holding up??

[siriusly]

I havent noticed any change no
Why are you??
What do you mean?

[siriusly]

I admit it takes a lot more discipline than i usually like but
You need to schedule those midnights and noon times until we get the sun back
Do you know how to use the timers and alarms on the omni?
If not i can show you

[nothinglikea]

I'm sure we'd be told that there's no discipline like self-discipline.
Midnight and noon. So I'm eating in the "morning," as well as the lunchtime and dinner and don't let myself fall face-first into a tremendous load of studying.

I have no idea how to use the extra features on the Omni.
I'm from 1912, I'm amazed I managed to find the caps button.

[siriusly]

Holy crap that's a long time ago
Thats gotta be close to when Ryunosuke and Kazuma were from

[nothinglikea]

I suppose it is, when compared to everyone else?
I'm afraid I don't know either of whom you speak.
Sorry?

[siriusly]

Oh no its not something to apologize for its just surprising to hear
Im from around 2221 so its always a little surprising when i hear from someone with a history that far back
I guess that means you were on Earth too huh?

[nothinglikea]

All right. If you're certain?
And that sounds impossibly far in the future.
I'd imagine that the Earth I came from managed to destroy each other in the meantime.
And I was. No longer.

[siriusly]

Oh dont worry!! Earths still around in my time
I never visited it myself but its definitely out there and people are still there
Mostly old people i think
It went through a lot but its resilient
Like people i guess haha

(CW: Trumpism)

[nothinglikea]

Oh, thank God.
I've been told horror stories about what happens to the earth into what becomes the 21st century.
To think, an entire nation confused by a liar real estate "mogul" with pretty lies and a wretched face!
To think further, that future foreign policy would be dictated by said "mogul."
JJ Astor or Benjamin Guggenheim, had they lived, would have put such a person in their place.

People are resilient, I'll give them that.

[siriusly]

I admit i wasnt really the best history student in class haha...
The stuff about the illumidas and the alien occupations were more interesting to a kid in school than real estate moguls

[laminae]

yup, every October
like a dumb Halloween thing

i'm doing ok
don't worry V wouldn't let me wither away and die

[siriusly]

That's not the first time i heard about halloween
Guess i lucked out missing those
Anyway apparently one of my housemates can turn into a lamp? if you need that i guess

[laminae]

wait does your home not have Halloween?

haha seriously? that's kinda rad

[siriusly]

No...that mightve been something on earth a long time ago but its not a tabito thing for sure
Or a galaxy railways thing as far as i knew

[spiritwalks]

don't need to

I take off my shirt, and let my pecs do the rest 💎
