[the response to the dream is immediate.]

also that was definitely Shrek right? i wasnt just seeing things??

thatll teach me to eat ice cream and pizza before bed

also i never expected Zeus to say karma is a bitch to my face but here we are

[For a solid week, there's been nothing but static coming out of 666 AM as Alastor sleeps. (Thank you to people who showed up to get him in a proper bed!)]

[Then suddenly on February 22nd, the static begins playing snippets of songs that don't seem to be from the vast catalogue in Alastor's head. There's a line of hip hop ("Sorry, group attending - "), something that sounds like it should be starting off a Broadway play ("I can do this, somehow I know it - "), something gentle ("It starts with sorry."), something with an accordion, a song of desperate hope ("Now you're the only thing worth fighting for."), and snippets of other music that all blurs together before only one line can be clearly heard in Alastor's voice: "Oh, this will be fun!"]

Salutations! Good to be back on the air!

Apologies, Reverein, for my impromptu nap! Apparently, I had quite a bit of sleep debt to pay off! Ha ha! But not to worry! I'm not planning to nod off again any time soon!

To whoever put me properly to bed, thank you very much! That would've been quite a crick in my neck if I'd slept the entire week on the floor, but you really didn't have to leave such unique artwork behind!

So until my next proper show, Abyssinia!


((OOC: Since Alastor's broadcast equipment is all internal, he's actually at his home, not the radio station, if someone wants to poke him in person!))

Subject: Gods.

Okay. How many gods are here? I've met two and there are three demigods myself included.

and demons while were at it. my father works with demons all the time and my children are demons so no judgement there.

Im just trying to figure out how this place works.

Subject: Storytime (and a request)

Mistletoe is a curious thing, isn't it? Traditionally people kiss underneath it, but there's more of a story to it. The druids of my world would harvest it for their magic, but there's one particular story that I'd like to highlight.

---

A long time ago the god Baldur was a god of the sun, joy, peace... all of those positive things. His mother, the goddess Freya, heard a prophecy that he was going to die. She didn't want that, so she made everything in the world swear an oath not to harm him. Everything, that is, except for mistletoe - apparently too young to swear an oath, or something like that.

The gods had a fun time throwing everything at Baldur and watching it bounce off, but Loki, god of mischief, found out about the mistletoe and fashioned a spear out of the stuff. He then gave it to Hod, Baldur's blind brother, and watched as it slew Baldur.

There's more to the story - about the goddess Hel not wanting to let the dead god go unless everything in the world wept for him. But Loki disguised himself as a giantess and would not cry, so Baldur stayed dead. And that culture's gods are barely worshiped anymore in my world, so who's to say?

---

Now, storytime aside... I seem to have taken ill. It's nothing life-threatening, but I'd have someone look at it all the same. There wouldn't happen to be a doctor or healer among our number willing to make house calls, would there?

My cousin, who recently arrived, has a birthday today. Wishing him a happy birthday is encouraged.

He's 18 now after all. In many places that makes you an adult, Kazuya.

Yes, I know you can see me writing this.

Subject: Are thoughts dreams or are dreams thoughts?

have you guys ever had a thinking thought just hit you out of nowhere and you can’t stop thinking about it for a while? like...

when you bury your feet in the sand at the beach you are briefly wearing the earth as shoes.

or...

the galaxy is so big that there's probably a place in the universe out there where a constellation of stars looks just like a portrait of you!

have you ever had random thoughts like this? what are yours?

Hello! I'm Anya Forger, and I was wondering how many people here were separated from their mom and dad when they came here and what you do with out them.

Sender: Vash the Stampede
To: Everyone
Subject: A question, I guess.

Hello!

I think I've caught on to how this works, so I wanted to try it out. I thought I'd ask a quick question that might be pretty open-ended but still interesting.

If there's something you'd want to tell someone new to this whole experience, what would it be?

I guess there's no hiding it, I'm still catching on to everything. So the person you'd be telling it to would be me, in this case. Haha.

Thanks!
Vash

Subject: Sin Celebration Months?

Apologies in advance for my ignorance, but these large ears of mine overheard discussion of a month-long celebration of the sin of Pride. Flipping through previous journal messages, I saw someone's question regarding whether or not Reverein celebrates it.

Well, that got me curious because we haven't had any variant of King Lucifer appear in quite some time. If this were the Pride Ring in Hell, I'd understand it, but I'd no idea that other worlds filled with the living celebrated the Deadly Sins!

What months are for the other six? We used to have avatars of Greed and Wrath, so they might be flattered to have their month-long celebrations should they ever return. It never hurts to get on the good side of a Deadly Sin's avatar!

Sender: Link

Subject: Hello.

[The Story Eater has been vanquished and most of the elements it summoned have disappeared. But caches of Malice that appeared during the event have stubbornly remained around Reverein. Link isn't much of a journal post person, but he decides to say something anyway.

First, an imprint of a picture appears, along with an arrow pointing directly at it and a big, bold X.]

Don't touch the purple stuff.

Subject: Could use advice

So, um... We made it through! Congrats to everyone for beating the story eater out of here. It wasn't easy for me, and it can't have been for all of you.

But, um...

Well, I think I might have invoked a deity that a friend from the waking world told me about. I'm not really sure what to think about that... Like, should I set up a little shrine to Bahamut? He didn't seem the type to care, really, but... I'm not sure. Does anyone have advice?

Subject: Pride Month.

so... I know this is probably an akward time. but is there a pride month here? I figure Id ask since so many of us are from some version of earth.

I was looking forward to going to the one in New York City. it was supposed to be my first since you kno coming out.

just thoght Id ask.

Oh, also. I can preform any funeral rites needed. Im sorta a priest in that respect. I take last rites very seriously and will do my best to honor their beliefs.

[Because of a certain conversation Sora is now attempting to defend his honour!]

hey! it’s sora! or hi i'm sora!

there was someone last month who said i’m a troublemaker but i said i only cause trouble every once in a while and that doesn’t make me a fully-fledged troublemaker, right? i don’t cause trouble on purpose! only if i caused trouble on purpose would that make me a real troublemaker!

anyway he said that if i can find people who can vouch for me that i’m not a troublemaker at all he would believe me! can you help me out? you guys can tell him that i’m good news, right?? right?

[Sora has never done anything wrong in his entire life!!]
