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.

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.

I'm glad to provide assistance to you, Roji.

Whatever shape this storm will take on is beyond our ability to predict, except that it will most likely not be a literal storm, and its range may cover the entirety of the city.

I honestly don't know if it would be safer or not for you to take some time off. I'll have to leave decision to your own intuition.

Yeah, true. The post said something with souls, didn't it? I don't even know what that could mean. Souls? It's like something out of an anime plot...

Either way, maybe taking work off would be kind of drastic if it's just going to hit everywhere anyway. Maybe I'll just play things by ear like everyone else.

I'm afraid that many things currently sound like they come from an anime plot. According to them, we bear the souls of beings from destroyed worlds.

That sounds like a fair path to take. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for you.

Oh.

[There's a minute or so pause in between texts that's very obviously Roji making an attempt to process this.]

Sorry, I didn't mean to leave you with just a one word text. I believe you but I really don't know what to make of that.

There's nothing for you to be sorry about. I'm the one who should apologize for saddling you with something like that so soon. I understand how difficult and disorienting a concept such as that can be, but it may be best for you to confront it as soon as possible.

It's something I've been skeptical about myself. However, so far a number of people - myself included - have been slowly remembering events from our alleged "other" lives and also receiving items that used to belong with them. Some people have even physically changed to resemble their counterparts. Unfortunately, you most likely will soon begin to experience these things as well.
