   Summary

   The list of things in Night Vale worthy of study is long, and part of Carlos’ work in this strange desert community is deciding what takes precedence. With the impossible seismology, apparently psychotropic sandstorms, fake clocks, and whatever those deer are, there's just not enough time to cover everything.

   Also, call it an oversight, a budgetary limitation, or Carlos having seven degrees in natural sciences and none in social sciences, but studying the actual societal structure of Night Vale and its... peculiarities hasn't been a priority.

   Six months in Night Vale to the day, he's going to wish he'd taken the time.

    

   The AU in which A/B/O exists... but only in Night Vale. And after six months of residency, the scientists have just officially become citizens.
