PSA From your Friendly UN: GarbageMan

[firacrux]

I knew people were gonna throw weird shit away. That's just what happens. The mannequins were pretty funny.

But an entire fucking bag of teeth?

Where in the hell did a bag of teeth come from?

[That's going to be quite the surprise should it ever come to light that he's one of those Lightbringer things. He'll be getting all the questions.]

Right, the Lunar Cry. So I don't know the specifics of it, or hell if anyone even knows the specifics but you're probably right in thinking it's some kind of gravitational event. From the whole two other worlds I've seen now it seems like our moon's either a hell of a lot bigger, or a hell of a lot closer than most.

Anyway monsters live and multiply on the moon, don't ask me how they do that without water or air monsters do what they want. Then roughly every 80-100 years a Cry happens, and it pulls a whole lotta them off in one big stream. And do I mean huge. It's not uncommon to completely obliterate a city off the face of the world.

The ones that don't land in the main pillar or die on impact fan out and fall for miles around the impact zone. Suffice it to say our world's pretty crawling with monsters now and that's about it.




... Ain't any in the ocean come to think of it. Maybe cause their ain't any water on the moon?

Doesn't sound much better than our situation, Brother.

[Though the races coming after the Traveller have been coming in a huge swarm, constantly.]

Our moon's been inhabited for a long time by a bunch of aliens that don't belong there. Monsters in their own right. They believe in a thing called the 'Sword Logic'. Ever heard of live by the sword? Die by the sword? Well, boy do they live it, and live it. And us squishy humans, we believe in kindness, and they think that's the biggest mistake of all.

[Constant devastating swarms in the manner of Lunar Cries would destroy the planet utterly.]

Yeah I know the concept. Usually the kinda thing you read about in storybooks.

[Kindness. Still learning how that works, honestly.]

D'you think there's any merit to their way?

[be_notorious]

Well. Let's see. We had somethin' give us ever'thin'. Just supply us with an endless bounty during the golden age. But we went down fast when we was attacked. But the king of that race and his son? They finally bit it to someone with a bigger sword who only wanted to protect people.

So yeah. There's merit to it. There's merit to givin', too. Moderation is a beautiful thing, brother. Never have too much of a good thing or it blinds you to what else would do you some favors.
