I rnged and this was 2

[Anyway, they're in a jamjar or something, have jamjar-obligatory apartments, and there is an Event going on because it's that time of the month.

Unfortunately, you know how sometimes? Sometimes, events aren't the most interactive? Sometimes, events aren't things which happen to you, they're things that happen around you and you're stuck reacting to it in a not-very-meaningful sort of way? Yeah.

Yeah.

So it's 1:23AM, jamjar standard time. To the east, a bright light shines up, one which pierces the skies and parts the dark clouds. A figure can be seen in the middle of the light, too incandescent to behold, and it speaks in a booming voice in a language that no one can understand.

So it's just Peanuts-style adult dialogue, except with BOOMING instead of mumbles.

All around them, there's a low thrumming noise, a hum. It was very spooky for the first half hour, and then nothing actually seemed to be happening for the next half hour, and if you checked the network it was just a lot of:

SKYFISH: ???
HELODUSK242: ?????? wth
DROPBEAR: i was sleeping rude

And one person made a valiant attempt at a network video but was drowned out by the BOOMING and gave up.

Sylvain is at the coffee machine. He's wearing fuzzy slippers, boxers, and a robe.

He's staring at the coffee machine like he wants to set it on fire, as it gurgles and tries to make coffee.

And then someone else comes in and normally he might go, "Hey there, looking good as always!" With a wink. And get slapped for his trouble. But, an event's going on and he can't sleep.]


Morning. [It comes out as more of a gurgle than anything else.]
