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.

A cup of coffee...

If that is what ghosts are into, then perhaps I need to speak to Jamie about the possibilities of how much we can have already prepared for them.

I suppose microwaving old cups would be out of the question.

Coffee transcends life and death, apparently. I don't think they would mind old coffee, as long as it's hot and the steam reaches them. Like how sacrifices used to be made in the ancient era, I guess.

Think that would make a good selling point? 'Ghost Coffee'? Could be an unscrupulous way to sell it. But I would assume it would taste better than ancient era brewed beverages...

[ thinking. ]

... I would be silly to not remind you that even in the case of an emergency, we will try to stay open.

Ghost coffee makes it sound like it'll turn people into ghosts. We'll have to think more about the name.
...People are talking about monsters and stuff. I have means to fight, if that happens. I might have to ask for a couple of days off.

[ascatic]

You can fight?

How?

[compendiem]

Not really in the sense of being a skilled warrior, but... Weapons. Magic. That sort of stuff. That's what I meant by the "means" to fight, anyways.

[ascatic]

Magic.

[ somewhere, his heart stops. ]

Like what kind of magic?
