[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.

A VDay reality storm? So... candy hearts and chocolate everywhere??? I like the sound of this (◠‿◠✿)

Also... sorry I haven't been available lately, the end of January was a bit rough. How has everyone been?? Tell me stories! What have you all been up to? (◕▿◕✿)

[The next part is filtered (inexpertly) away from Iwai, Sakura, Xiaolang and Jirou. Or at least it's supposed to be. It may not actually be. Oops.]

Does anyone know anything about monsters? Either from your other life or just in general?

And I don't mean the kind of monsters from August. More like... demons, or vampires.

not sure you wanna know it.

[flowrite]

I don't know anything. Nothing that adds up anyway. If any of this makes any kind of sense to you, please...?

[redarm]

and sometimes hed go after vampires too.

Although I'd enjoy a storm of Valentine's chocolate, sadly that's not what will happen.

[flowrite]

An attack of giant rose-monsters maybe? (◕‸ ◕✿)

[blind_badass]

Roses have thorns, so no. Although the mistlebats were quite charming.

I suppose you could say I know a little something about demons, being that apparently I am one.

[OH HEY long time no see]

I guess it's a little reassuring to know there are other users dealing with... this.

Do you mind if I ask what that means for you? Do you have powers, or eat or sleep differently, or...?

Vampires aren't monsters

[ . . . Thirty seconds later: ]

Not in the same way anyway. Probably.

[flowrite]

Sorry, I didn't mean like the ones we've seen recently. I guess I should have said 'non-humans.'

Do you know much about vampires?

I think I'm some kind of ink spirit? But I don't know anything about demons or vampires.

An ink spirit? How does that work? If you don't mind me asking!

...vampires? You remember something about vampires?

[He doesn't know how this will go but...here it is. Other than Sakura this is his first chance to talk about this with someone.]

[flowrite]

Oh, that's right, you were the one with the hots for a vampire weren't you? ;)

Unfortunately I don't remember anything. That's the problem.

[geckoman]

Nice to see you using those smile things again.

And I just remember the giant god thing honestly.

[Your boyfriend doesn't know how to filter, Fai.]

Foxy-chan~ ♥ (◠‿◠✿)

Oh

[Oh shit. Apparently that filter didn't work because you weren't supposed to see that part Iwai!!.]

Your other world was totally normal except for the weird god thing?

[spes_phthisica]

if it rains candy I'm officially forgiving retrospec everything б（＞ε＜）∂
well almost everything anyway

I have one (1) possible monster memory, and all I can say about it is "looked like a child but with a grotesque face"
otherwise I've been pretty much out of the loop too, tried to focus on ordinary life a bit

[flowrite]

I know right??? It'd be a nice way to pay us back after taking away the taste of sweets for so long!

Hm, that doesn't sound quite like what I'm looking for. Or at least I hope not!
But things are going okay for you? I know I've missed a lot of work, I feel like I haven't seen you in forever ♥

[cardcaptured]

If it's a class four storm like they say, I doubt it's going to be anything that simple. It sounds like it's going to be much more annoying, if not possibly dangerous.

... what about you, though? Are you

um

holding up okay?

[He's not quite sure how to ask?? Mostly because he's still vague on what actually happened, and he's not sure what Fai wants made public on the network.]

[flowrite]

I guess we'll just have to wait and see. If it's related to Valentine's Day hopefully it'll be more pleasant than the unreality in October!

I'm fine, thank you for asking ♥ It's taking a bit of adjusting, but I'll get by.

I fought demons before

Oh? What were they like?

I remember vampires taking over back home after a virus wiped out the adults. And demons. There's one in my sword. Or, back home anyway.
I dunno if he is actually....in it? Now, here since I got it in the mail. He called me insane and wants to take over my body though.

[flowrite]

Oh wow, that's... a lot more information than I was expecting, honestly! This is good! I mean, maybe you can answer some of my questions?

Do you remember what the vampires were like? Did they go out in the daytime? Did they look different than normal humans?
