[recollecters]

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 admit that this upcoming holiday has the potential to be even more annoying than others...

[onemillion]

That's precisely what I'm afraid of. Almost any other holiday could prove to be annoying I'm sure, but Valentine's Day is probably the worst...

Granted, the mistletoe bats weren't exactly pleasant.

[onemillion]

No, they really weren't. I would prefer not to deal with anything like that ever again.

[evidentiary]

...Did you have to adhere to their demands?

[onemillion]

I was stuck with a few and I thought it would just be easier to take the blow to my pride and ask for help with them than deal with their singing all day.

[It was awful.]

I got rid of some of mine by handing someone the word "kiss" written on paper.

[onemillion]

That's really clever! I suppose I should have put a bit more thought into it...

[evidentiary]

I was rather determined not to kiss anyone...

[onemillion]

Was that the only bat you had to deal with?

[evidentiary]

No, there were a few others. I did end up kissing one person on the cheek.
