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.

??? Should I be worried about this post? A lot of you don't seem worried but I don't know... I feel like I should be worried.

A storm of souls sounds too freaky to be real but so did the creepy eclipse dome...

I'm so confused and I don't know what to believe!! ;;

[beneathmoonlight]

Me too...this is so bizarre...

[kindhearted]

Seriously! People keep talking about things being weird for months, too. This is the first time I've noticed anything truly weird going on...

[matchbreaker]

No it's very genuinely frightening. People who aren't worried are either pretending to be jaded or think that they actually are jaded.

Not that you should panic though.

[kindhearted]

I'll do my best not to.

I mean I'm not really glad to get confirmation but it is kind of nice to know that a lot of people have noticed the eclipse stuff...among other things, I guess. Is that true for pretty much everyone here?

[spiritoso]

You have every right to be worried. I think a lot of people have gotten used to this, in a way. Even though it seems like it's impossible to get used to this kind of thing.

[kindhearted]

Has this really been going on a while? I'm definitely with you though. I couldn't get used to this!

[compendiem]

Between the two options... Don't worry.

[kindhearted]

Kind of easier said than done at this point... Believe me though, that's the option I want to go for! Even if they were super vague about what kind of storm it is, stage 4 anything is bad news.

[strawberrypunch]

You should be worried

But not too worried?

If theres monsters stay inside and theyll leave you alone

[kindhearted]

Monsters??? Are you being serious?

[parodeity]

honestly some of us are just too used to it probably

[kindhearted]

This is so crazy to be finding out about now... I've been in the city for a couple years.

Is this not the weirdest things have gotten? I can't even imagine getting used to it.

[falsepretentious]

Roji... So you truly have been enlightened.

I'm sorry, my friend. You do not deserve this. Given Retrospec's warning, it can really go either way. You should do what you can to prepare for the possibility of danger, but know that I shall do all that is within my power to look out for you.

[kindhearted]

Byakuya!! I'm really glad you're here too. And thanks. Seriously, it makes things a million times better to read that.

Should I just take some time off of work? I guess I don't really know what kind of storm it's actually going to be and if being somewhere familiar would be the best bet. You know, like an actual storm.

[elevelvetor]

my apologies
a great many of us weathered something we had no warning of back in August, and i assume we're quite sure we can manage again...
well, we likely can, so perhaps it would be best not to worry about it
simply make some very powerful friends, and you'll be safe.

[kindhearted]

That's not reassuring...just so you know. What do you even mean by "very powerful"?

[loudmouths]

...uoh...

roji? you're here??

[kindhearted]

Keigo???

Yeah, I'm here now I guess. How long have you been on here?

[unromanceable]

Well, to be honest, I'm pretty worried. But I think it's best for now if we try to gather information, don't you think?

[kindhearted]

You've got a point... It's not like we can just delete the app and forget about this.

I guess the silver lining is that there are people who've been around a while. So maybe they've got more info?

[gunsandveggies]

We're all worried, but we're also going through this together!
Whatever happens, we'll all protect each other. I have faith in everyone here! We've gotten through so much hardship before, and we'll do it again.
At least, that's why I don't seem as worried. (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑

[kindhearted]

You know...that's a really good point! I got caught up in all this confusion, so I didn't even think of it like that. I just ended up with the app recently, but I guess I'm joining you all in the fight from here on!

P.S. That's a really cute emoji! ♥

[sivard]

I'd be cautious, especially if you've just gotten this app.

The last time it happened, it wasn't good, though not everyone was effected.
