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.

so
to me it sounded like they were saying "there's a Valentines Day Storm coming" and I'm not sure how to feel about this
I mean maybe it will rain candy hearts and of course I would like that very much
or maybe it'll be like around Halloween and we'll be haunted by The Ghost of (๑♡3♡๑) Past
or something really weird is just going to happen again

...So if it turns out to be like Halloween, it's a matter of dealing with all of our exes. And possibly fighting them.

I'm not sure whether I'm appalled or intrigued.

[spes_phthisica]

it also depends a bit on whether or not it would be our exes in this life, which would be weird or somewhat manageable
or if (more likely) it's the exes from our previous lives

will I get stalked through the streets by Dorito Man, that's what I want to know
either way I'm really not sure about fighting them (⊃д⊂)

[manufactured]

..."Dorito Man."

[spes_phthisica]

look it's very simple
some guy in my memories who swept me dramatically up in his arms and made me drink tea happens to look like an inverted dorito
you know, full romance novel cover figure
hence dorito man

[manufactured]

[...oh my god.]

Well, at least your taste doesn't seem to have been completely terrible, I suppose.

[spes_phthisica]

at least there is that
I'm developing this theory that the reason I'm generally uninterested in that kind of thing is because my standards were set too high in my previous life, and no one else has lived up to them so far

[robitussin]

honestly at this point i'm assuming it'll be something completely out of left field and all our predictions will be wrong

that seems like a thing that would happen here

[spes_phthisica]

right???
at this point it feels like the only reason to speculate is so that you can rule out whatever you come up with

except if we did that, that’s the only time ALL the speculations would come true
all at once
just to mess with us

[robitussin]

[cornets]

There's a ghost of smooching past??

[spes_phthisica]

I’m not saying there is one
but if there is, it’ll probably turn up during this storm

[cornets]

If it does i hope it's a dog and it gives everyone a lot of doggy kisses!
That's the only ghost of smooching past i'll accept!

[spes_phthisica]

trust me, I’m right there with you

[2 asexual 4 this.]

I will also accept the pet pig I appear to have owned in my previous life
no looming samurai men need apply

[cornets]

I didn't know pigs could give kisses!
I always thought the nose got in the way

[spes_phthisica]

I honestly don’t know, I’ve never had a pet pig in this life
but it apparently knew how to play fetch like a dog, so maybe it could give kisses too! failing that, snuggles.

[cornets]

Snuggles are always good
And maybe it could be kisses you give to it!

[What it's absolutely normal to smooch a dog on the head.]

[spes_phthisica]

[100% normal. So unit out literally kisses all the animals at the animal shelter if at all possible.]

you’re right, of course!
gosh now I’m wondering if it’s possible for us to get sent pets from the previous life
if they send stuff like swords and clothes then why not an adorable pig????

[cornets]

They do actually!!
Someone got one a few months ago!
It looked like a goat with kangaroo legs so it was definitely not from here

“so unit out”........ holy autocorrect Batman

[spes_phthisica]

oooooooooooh!
hey look, for once there’s something I’m actually excited about possibly getting from retrospec （๑✧∀✧๑）
if they’re reading this, they should get on that to win me over
pets are way better than swords
...no offense to swords, if they’re reading this

tbh that was one of the funnier ones i've seen

[cornets]

Definitely!
Swords are cool but they can't give hugs

[At least safe hugs anyway]

it Tried

[spes_phthisica]

well actually the swords I’m friends with give great hugs
but they’re people too, so obviously I wasn’t counting them

[cornets]

They're app users too right?

[spes_phthisica]

mmmyep
though two of them were my friends before this whole thing started

[cornets]

Oh good for a moment i thought they were sent in the mail!
