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.

I didn't think of it like that, but you're right... most holidays (or the western ones??) always have something happening during them.

[evidentiary]

Usually the Western ones that I've seen...? Perhaps because we're in the West?

[imaginex]

I guess that would make sense...

In that case, maybe that means White Day will be skipped.

Which is a pity...though I suppose boys give out chocolates on Valentine's here anyway?

[imaginex]

Oh... they do?

I didn't realize that...

But I guess it's not so strange to combine the holidays, either.

[evidentiary]

They seem to. It's more equal-opportunity and less...traditional.

[imaginex]

Do you think it would be okay if I made chocolate for all my friends here?

Or would that be breaking any social rules?

[evidentiary]

It would be fine. They don't place the same importance on giving and receiving chocolate as we do, generally - every chocolate is assumed to be a friend chocolate in general, unless you're already dating.

[imaginex]

That makes things easier, then. I don't have anyone to give dating chocolate to. ┐(︶▽︶)┌
