We are cursed?

There are no birds. No birds.

I have seen seagulls ominously circling overhead. I have heard a blackbird singing the dawn chorus. Ben has even seen sparrows - sparrows! - hopping around outside the front door

But not a single living creature has dared to venture into our back garden.

How did you put the bird-feeders out?

Who said Meson is alive? I've seen her protoblood...

[nevalicori]

Yes, but then she'd still be alive-dead, not dead-dead.

Well, according to Stanley, at any rate.

[extorian]

But Kia often corrected him to point out that the first "alive" really meant "animated". Why did they never use the supply of protoblood in 790s head that was intended to keep his brain bit alive for 500 years?

[nevalicori]

Because it'd destroy a thrilling plot device (not to mention 790).

[extorian]

I found the answer... this was clarified later when Kia pointed out that it was "similar to protoblood". Oh well...

[meson]

Well I'm enthralled. Oh yeah.
