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.

Not that it matters, I suppose - if you can see a direction this is going in that isn't "straight to hell" somehow, I'd like to hear it, just because I could use the optimism in my life.

[redarm]

yeah okay im really not the person you ask for optimism
and i would not vote in favour of putting any faith into these arseholes

but uh
im sure whatever fucking comes
even if retorspecs useless
well find a way to beat it ourselves?

[drydrown]

Oh, don't worry, I'm not one for optimism, either - just massive amounts of sarcasm that may or may not convey well via text. ♡

Really, though, if they're going to be incompetent they could at least be a little more transparent. It would be nice to know if I'm preparing for being inconvenienced on my way to get coffee in the morning, or if I should be ordering four extra for the horsemen in preparation for the end of days.

[redarm]

oh thank god
ill take sarcasm

no kidding. they tend to underplay everything, so its like welp
were probably fucked.

[drydrown]

In a charming holiday-themed manner, no less. And if that's not absolutely delightful, I don't know what is.

...God, they really didn't say anything of value here, did they. Were you around for the last major storm?

[redarm]

one more reason to hate valentines day

yeah i was. been on this thing since march.

[drydrown]

Since March.

Dear God. My condolences.

[redarm]

yeah thanks
as for the last storm
basically a bunch of monsters showed up and attacked the town
and a bunch of people fell into unreality.

[drydrown]

So I've heard. Something like the world's worst summer vacation for like forty of us...?

...

You know, I genuinely hope that was not the theme of the last storm; it was intended to be sarcasm but now that I'm thinking about it, I wouldn't be surprised.

[redarm]

dont remember them saying anything like that
but wouldnt be surprised if it was honestly

[drydrown]

...I'd ask why they're all collectively like this, but I'm not certain I want an answer at this point.

[redarm]

yeah you
probably really dont.
