[Tetra's sitting at a terminal, playing a few notes on her recently acquired Spirit Flute before looking at the screen.]

So, um... It's a Ruana month. And she can be pretty awful sometimes.

[A lot of the time but Tetra's not saying that where Ruana, Jason or Riki could hear.]

There's really no way to get ready for anything that happens here so just everyone should be careful, okay?

[She didn't like the sound of that.]

So, how awful is she? Like on a scale of one to ten.

[Video]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[No hesitation:] Twelve.

[This may be due to the fact that Tetra is still a kid and has now spent two birthdays in horrortower.]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

That bad huh?

[Welp, she was right.]

[ video ]

[hemoeroticism]

Aha, I disagree. I love her months! ✩

[ clapping intensifies. ]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[dajkgha ARE YOU CRAZY MAN?]

How can you even like her months??

[ video ]

[hemoeroticism]

[ Why, yes, he is! ]

They're more fun than Jason's. How else?

I'd say the best thing to do is to stick close to your friends. Keep an eye on them.

[He stares at Tetra's image in the feed.]

...How're you doing right now, kid?

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

That's good advice!

[She gives him a little smile.]

I'm alright. How about you?

Re: video

[puppy_lancer]

I'm fine. Met a few new people, got locked in a room. The usual.

[axeforasong]

Ruana is other admin, yes?

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Yeah. Have you been here long enough for one of her months?

[axeforasong]

No, arrived for Dullard with all the oatmeals. [SO BORING]

Last one was nice though. Do we have to kill him too?

[OH MY FONONS THE WALL IS TALKING. Lorelei stares at the terminal a while. Then:]

It seems pretty nice so far. Except for the monsters at night?

[Video]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

It seems that way but most everyone here will say that they'd have rather died with their worlds than be rescued. And it ain't because of the monsters since you can avoid them by staying in your room at night.

[Video]

[seventhsong]

Oh. That's too bad. I haven't seen too many monsters yet, and it seemed nice that people were being saved.. I guess it's not so nice after all then, if a lot of people would rather be dead forever.

...Except to make sure we stick together, right?

[OPTIMISM!]

[text]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Yeah, that's good advice too! Stickin' together.

[keybearer]

Ugh, don't remind me.

[Riku shudders and groans.]

Last year was bad enough. Can you imagine her trying to top that?

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Last year sucked.

[Blunt.]

I hope she doesn't, I really don't want a bomb flower or something in my chest this year.

[bydefacto]

really? what does she do?

text;

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Lots of things. Last year, she wanted us to play a Halloween game so a bunch of us were dressed up. But if we didn't collect enough candy, our costumes crushed us to death. Another time, a bunch of people showed up from another world, a world of people that didn't need collars, that didn't have to be rescued so she played games with everyone. People die when she wants to play games.

[mywayofhelping]

I'm afraid I haven't had enough experiences here to fully comprehend your warning. Could you possibly give more details?

[voice]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

I can try.

[Well, that's hard because Ruana doesn't play the same games over and over again. But they all mean that people are going to die.]

Ruana likes playing games and a lot of the time, playing her games means hurting other people like last Halloween. And her games always end up getting people killed.

[bloodlessons]

I heard stories about this Ruana lady, if everyone keeps saying the same things she must be awful!

[And guess who is unfazed by the awful.]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[Why are you not unfazed??]

She is!
