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.

Worried might be a strong word, Rise. At least, for now.

You should be preparing for something strange, though. The last time they mentioned a storm, there were strange things that happened.

oh, Yukiko! for now isn't really that reassuring either...

what kind of strange are we talking about? like that dome thing?

[burningblossoms]

I know, but I won't lie to you. For now don't worry, but be prepared to worry a lot.

Um. Weirder than the dome. That's weird, but imagine monsters appearing in town.

...yeah, okay...that is still not reassuring but better to be prepared I guess

monsters??? what do you mean MONSTERS?

[burningblossoms]

Creatures that are not human.

Do you remember the convention last summer at all? Think back hard to the warnings on the TV.

ummm

no way. but that was...nobody made it seem like it was that big of a deal at the time!

[burningblossoms]

Because without the app it wasn't.

You wouldn't have noticed back then.

[pseudonyms]

but they were MONSTERS. I've heard the app makes people believe crazy things like about chocobos and dancing fruit, but at least those things are based in reality. that is totally different otherwise!

[burningblossoms]

Well, think of it like the sudden appearance of dancing fruit.
It wasn't real, then it was.
