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.

At least we still managed to get out of there. Note to self, next time you investigate something, bring weed spray.

c thats whats wrong with this place
u shouldnt need 2 fight off audrey ii

[maidofmistakes]

We shouldn't need to do a lot of things, but they're there.

[youraffection]

i know
thats what keeps pissing me off!
i know that getting mad about it doesnt do anything but theyre really messing with ppls lives

[maidofmistakes]

Yeah. But if we have these powers and we know the truth, it sort of falls to us to fix things. It's terrifying, but someone has to.

[youraffection]

thats a raw deal tho
they make the mess and they make us clean it up

[maidofmistakes]

I guess. But what else can we do?

[youraffection]

obvs bitching about it has gotten me real far huh?

[maidofmistakes]

Sorry... I didn't mean to offend you.

[youraffection]

what?
oh shit no
thats not on u
im making fun of myself
honestly
i know i need 2 b more proactive about this stuff it just annoys me

[maidofmistakes]

Oh... sorry anyway? I get where you're coming from. I just feel like I need to do something. And... it's embarrassing, but hasn't everyone always wished they were special?

[youraffection]

[ That's something he can relate to pretty well. He should be honest about it, right? ]

yea
ur right
powers make u feel special yea?

[maidofmistakes]

That and just knowing the stuff the normal people can't notice. It sounds selfish, I know.

[youraffection]

nah
i get u
its not an easy thing 2 admit 2 either
u wanna have powers 2 help ppl but who doesnt wanna feel badass 4 a little while?
thats what i was thinking about the other me
maybe hes some sort of hero or does good things
does that mean the me here isnt good enough?
idk
powers r cool and all
but i think the person using them is important 2

[maidofmistakes]

Yeah, I guess so. And you're right. Need to work on being a decent person and doing the helping-people thing.

[youraffection]

fwiw u seem like a p decent person

[maidofmistakes]

Really? You too. Thanks a lot.

[youraffection]

well yea!
ur the 1 talking about taking responsibility and using ur powers 2 try and help even when retrospec is the 1 at fault
thats p cool
we could all prob learn a thing or 2 from that

[maidofmistakes]

Thanks. I'll try and live up to that. It's kind of hard with just X-ray vision, but I guess I'll get some other stuff some time?

[youraffection]

holy shit
x-ray vision??

[maidofmistakes]

Yeah... what'd you get?
