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

D --> That is referred to as a typing quirk
D --> All trolls have them and most are substitutive in nature
D --> If you would prefer I have developed the ability to turn it off
D --> Hallmark of having had to type for others outside of my world for an e%tensive duration

[siriusly]

Something like that yeah
me and my platoon protect the people riding the trains going from planet to planet

[siriusly]

Oh ok
No i can still read it its fine

[alternia_strength]

D --> It seems we are a bit off track
D --> It would beh00ve us to get back on topic
D --> Have you e%perienced any oddities related to these butterflies

[Thankfully he could get back on track eventually, but he was easy to distract.]

[miiraculous]

There are trains in space? Really?

[nothinglikea]

I'd wager mine simply hasn't gotten to it yet.
It was 1912 when I left.
Yes, yes, I do.
I'd really be grateful for your help.

[siriusly]

no problem!! one second

[siriusly]

-lo? Ahem. [he's swapped to video, so behold: fluffy-haired, one-eyed man sitting at a desk peering a bit over the device.]

Just give me a quick yes or no if you can see and hear me, okay?

[siriusly]

Not me personally
but it was giving some people weird hypnotic effects? like it took a lot of shaking and talking loudly to snap people out of it

[siriusly]

There are where im from!
a whole network of pathways and stations to get all across the galaxy

[nothinglikea]

[Rose smiles warmly and calls out] Yes, I can hear you just fine!

[miiraculous]

That sounds too amazing to be true. Like something in a novel.

Is it as fast as the train to Tokyo?

[siriusly]

Oh! [he double-blinks, then laughs sheepishly.] Didn't know it'd snap us both to--a-anyway! [he clears his throat again.] So! You're already good enough to know how to check around posts and chat with folks, so I'm gonna walk from there...

[editor please put in a montage of me BSing how to navigate spooky blood-moon tech; it has to be easier than programming a VCR.]

...and if you tap it again, see that it's off? So if you don't want that alarm anymore, that's all you do. Aa, hopefully that makes sense...

[siriusly]

Even faster
planets are pretty far apart from each other so a train to get from one to another needs to really move

[laminae]

ohhh
we didn't have it back home either, so i only got to see it back in Deerington
normal Halloween sounds really cool

[siriusly]

It's just costumes and eating junk food right

[nothinglikea]

I think I'm doing well enough? It's hard to be certain, though. But you see me and hear me fine?

[theoretical physics was easier than programming a VCR]

Yes! Good-bye alarm, hello to a welcome...I hesitate to say night under the circumstances. But a night's sleep.

[siriusly]

[he breathes out his relief with a little laugh.] Okay, good. I must be getting better at teaching these kinds of things, between you and Ryunosuke and Kazuma... But either way, this can at least help you keep track of time! Until we get the sun back. Any day now, I hope...

[miiraculous]

That is so amazing! Space sounds amazing!

Then I will pretend I am in space until the sun comes up. ☆

If I have fun, maybe it will be less scary.

[nothinglikea]

Practice does make perfect? Though, neither of those names are familiar to me. Granted, this is my third month, but I wanted to be sure that every I was dotted and every T was crossed in my search for coming fully into myself. This is unlike anything I knew in my world, but I won't let this world get the better of me. I will fight.

And I do hope so. An endless night is terribly gloomy.

[laminae]

junk food that you get by going around to people's houses! they just give it to you for free if you're in a costume

[siriusly]

Seems like itd be a lot of fun for kids

[siriusly]

It's not really something humans are used to, huh... [he looks askance for a beat before looking back with an apologetic kind of look.] If it helps thinking about it like...working in solidarity with space-workers, then think like that! That's what I do.

[siriusly]

Time passes faster when youre having fun anyway right??

[nothinglikea]

We're really not. [and she smiles back hesitantly] I'll try. Even though the very idea of going into space when I'm from was only a fantasy. The idea of it being a reality is reassuring.
