[recollecters]

Hello, everyone! As you've probably noticed, we've been having a few problems - I mentioned earlier that something got knocked out of balance, and we had to recalibrate, but in a few days we should be able to drop the emergency measures. Please be aware that there is an incoming storm, class four. General orders for that kind of thing are to report to management for any known threats and follow instructions, but so far what's known is "that might be a little annoying" and "hope it isn't". Theoretically it'll probably be related to the holiday, I think, because a large group of souls focused through the needle of a pin on one thing can sort of shape a thing around them. That's sort of a really inaccurate way to put it on the technical side of things, but I think it's the easiest way to understand it! At any rate, we'll know more once we're in the thick of things. Please take care as usual; resources aren't exactly what some of you seem to think they are, and we had to expend rather more than usual in the past month or so to keep things with a few of you steady.

Thank you for your kindness and consideration.
Does that mean I am loved?

[livingimpaired]

I don't see any issue with being a little in the red for a month. If it means I can help others out, I'm more than willing.
I suppose that softness in me will be my downfall. :)

[sunnymerc]

they sure do
but i was too busy hanging out with the cheerleaders

no problem!

[rebellions]

what the hell's that supposed to mean
i'm an adult
i can take care of myself

[sunnymerc]

aww!
a cute little thing like you?
i guess boys are still worried about cooties at your age
i bet youve got a secret admirer or two

[servileness]

Yes, but he should have never been allowed to make a social media account in the first place.

I doubt it'll happen, but I hope we get a whistleblower soon.

[sunnymerc]

Yeah. This is all super weird and complicated, not to mention not all that much fun.

[She gives them a squeeze.]

But I've had a few adventures and met lots of people I wouldn't have otherwise. I've gotten some weird things and remembered some weird things, but I'm still me, your cute and cool big sis. No matter what happens, you'll be my adorable little brother and sister, Astin.

[blind_badass]

I feel like that should be the series of some comic. An inept cupid screwing up its job.

[unreasons]

[ Astin sighs quietly as they lean into the hug. ]

...I guess. It's kind of weird to think that I'm like. Not me. Or whatever.

[ Astin buries their face against Soleil's shoulder. ]

I'm glad that's always gonna be true...

[hauntedsavior]

Yeah, I fuckin' noticed. Ugh. How do you even manage to bring anybody home with you.

[hauntedsavior]

Also because college is bullshit and didn't do a damn thing for me. If I could've dropped out sooner, I would've.

This is turning out to be a large picture indeed... but you're right about one thing, that I certainly wouldn't be satisfied with bits and pieces of non-information. I want something bigger, more concrete. Something with an actual direction. Or else it's just as meaningless as everything else Retrospec says.

[activatingcombatmode]

Great. See you soon.

[broroona]

bullshit.
i wasn't even asking!
men sure get cocky when theyre famous

[hauntedsavior]

Yeah, weird how nobody's trained to fight with swords anymore. Millennials are killing the single combat industry.

Don't worry. If shit starts hitting the fan in a couple days, I'll point the end that hurts people away from me. Problem solved.

[servileness]

It was a bird that injured you severely.

A flying jet ski. I'll consider trying it once I see it.

It's a handy but dangerous power. Anything else?

[lingeringwill]

A giant bird made of metal that shot lighting out of its beak and tore an entire city block apart

I have the power to steal peoples hearts, apparently, but I haven't really figured out how that works, or know if i even want to

I can show you it if you'd like




The jet ski, i mean

I just know how to make practical stuff.
I haven't really made anything too fancy.

Me neither, not since I baked with my mom anyway.
Some bento side dishes can be pretty cute though.
That could definitely help.

[judgementkazzy]

It has to do with almost everyone being from different worlds and Retrospec keeping us here so they can rebuild them.
It sounds about as ridiculous to me, even knowing it's true.
So I definitely wouldn't blame you for thinking this is bullshit.
