[The recorded voice in this post is unfailingly cheerful and upbeat, with a mildly synthesized overtone. It's so unmistakeable that those of you who have been around for awhile will likely recognize it as belonging to the yellow, box-shaped robot that is often seen getting in the way around camp and annoying everyone.

Those of you who are new? Well, you're about to find out exactly why he annoys everyone.]


Hellooooo, Hatchlings!

Everyone enjoying the power outage? I'm sure not! If my battery runs out and I don't have a way to recharge it, I will literally die! Maybe you should feel more grateful that you only have to deal with bumping into things and, I don't know, being cold? I imagine that's uncomfortable, but not as much as death.

Anyway!

I have it on good authority that the power will come back in forty-eight hours! Don't ask me how I know, just trust me! I am worthy of trust. This will prove to you that I'm worthy of trust!

So just, uh... hang tight? And don't freeze to death. Or starve? I have no idea how long you all can go without eating. Do you even need power to eat? What about "health food"? Isn't that normally just plants?

Okay, so! My advice is: don't freeze to death, stand still so you don't blindly bump into something and get a terrible injury (because no one can perform medical intervention in the dark), and if you're hungry, go eat some plants!

[The recording stops for a second, and then picks back up like he forgot to mention something.]

Oh, and: it's not very neighborly to give someone the wrong date and time for an important expedition. Not that I'm upset! [He still sounds cheerful? But in a maniacal way.] This is just a hypothetical situation that didn't happen to anyone!

Really.

It flooded and there were dead animals and we didn't find anything.
You should be glad you didn't come.

This is not the tone I expected from a god of destruction.

He IS a god of destruction and death.

Well, if that were true, I wouldn't want you along for different reasons.

He is absolutely a harmless buffoon. I have been going along with his god of destruction status for two months.

He's either insane and infuriating or insane and entertaining.

Besides, he's less of a danger if he's occupied.

If the power doesn't come on soon enough, is there anything we could do about your battery as a last resort? And is all the water a problem for you?

Great metal deity
Lord of destruction
Voice of a thousand dying cattle
We beseech you
Forgive us our trespasses
Smite our enemies
Let us live another day
In your glory

Mostly just this one, and a particularly explosive 13-year-old. Have you met her? She likes to solve problems with dynamite.

I don't have to prove it. YOU prove that you can do what you said you can!

Then don't complain that I didn't bring you with us.
