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 storm? I hope it's not too bad. I do wonder how it's going to relate to Valentine's Day though....

I hope everyone stays safe!

Perhaps it'll take shape of plastic hearts in a whirlwind to smack everyone's faces outside.

Now that would be interesting! And not too dangerous.

It would be pretty dangerous if it poked you in the eye though.

You're right! Sunglasses could protect against that but it's still dark outside.

Coming soon to a weird city near you!

Who knows maybe it'll be like every valentines day special in every dumb kids cartoon where people start falling in love with each other.

Maybe because of the wind or because they got struck by lightning or something.

I really hope not! The mistletoe bats were bad enough!! Having people actually fall in love would be a disaster.

Maybe we'll get lucky and we'll just get a giant storm that tears this ugly dome down.
It really says something when just a normal old awful storm is what we're hoping for at this point.

It's kind of sad, isn't it? That we're all expecting the absolute worst. I haven't even had this app that long and I already miss regular storms.

I mean I just got here so my opinion probably doesn't matter much
.. But it can't get that much worse.. right?

I imagine it will be particularly gaudy storm.

I'll take gaudy over dangerous every day! Maybe it'll be cute instead! A lot of Valentine's decorations are pretty cute!

Or nauseating. It's fine to hope for the best, so long as you're sure to also prepare for the worst.

Where's your Valentine's Day spirit, Byakuya?ｏ(＞＜；)○

But you're right. I'll be preparing for a real storm.

It's in a little place called non-existence. But don't let me stop you from having your fun.

Good. There's only so much that be done to prepare for something like this, but there is no action without meaning.

I'm still betting on love arrows from Cupid, to be honest.

I hope that doesn't happen! It'd be even more chaotic than the mistletoe bats.

Right?

At least kissing wasn't too bad. And you could choose where.

Yep! A kiss on the cheek is a lot better than suddenly realizing you were in love with a stranger. I don't even know what I would do in that situation.

Right?

It'd probably be worse if you were dating, too.

That's kind of you. Make sure you stay safe, as well.

As for the storm... it's bound to be something ridiculous.

Thanks, I will. I felt like returning the kindness that everyone here has shown me.

That's what I was thinking of too. There's a lot of possibilities with Valentine's Day.

Cupids, chocolates, public kisses... who knows what could happen? Hopefully it's harmless.
