This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I suppose. But isn't Fava really dead in the snow? Plus, if inhumi are feeding
on blood it seems like they are water-based and cellular in nature. How could
inhumi survive in the void with all the water in their bodies frozen and all
their cells burst? (hasn't this been discussed before?)

We are given the choice on whether to believe the words of liars about a biological 
impossibility or to accept that liars are lying. It is a choice, but I think
this time we are expected to choose correctly.

>How, then, do you account for their appearance in great numbers at conjunction?

This seems an easy one. Plant and animal sprouting and migrations are usually
prompted by celestial events involving the sun and moon. It would make a lot
of sense for inhumi vines to sprout or inhumi animals to fly based on Green's
activities. Doesn't Green function as something of a moon for Blue?

Moreover aren't mythical creatures like vampires and werewolves also deeply affected
by the moon?
