They probably woulda had an easier time of it on the space station because they woulda known to expect it by then. Down here, they just kinda had to lock down and wait it out until the leader of the city could talk to the kid god and sort it out.
[Which gives her hope that it's not going to go that wild again the next time it happens, but who knows with this sort of thing.]
Better than I woulda expected, with how much Malachite's messin' around seems to bother 'em. They locked down durin' the actual transformations since there was also some sky burnin' shit goin' on, but once they came out it all turned into this.
[She gestures broadly around them, referring to the boutique's sales going on at the moment to help out Gembonded.]
All this cheap sellin' or givin' away stuff to try and get us back on our feet again.
They have been pretty generous, this is just a little more generous than usual.
[It's not like they can have Gembonded sales all the time, or it'd probably look like preferential treatment to the locals.]
Guess it depends on your outlook. If somethin' else catastrophic happens before the next group arrives, they might do it again, but I think it's mostly meant to be makin' up for the transformations and feral states and whatever else.

[That? That happened here? Perhaps this place is a little less innocuous than he'd hoped.]
Many did, and some were violent. Unfortunately... They made it seem like such things were vaguely controlled. How unsettling.

[They were... violent on the ship. He fought a few.]

[Not everyone is going to talk about that in public, especially when whoever did it might not have been in full control of themselves, but still.]

[He smiles faintly.]
How did the locals take it?

[No, he suspected something deeper, but isn't better to play up being kind of uselessly foppish for the moment?]
I'll still take advantage of it, but if they don't extend this to others who may come along... It's unfair, isn't it?
