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.

It's... not quite the correct idiom.

Maybe she meant a writing pen? As in, the point where the ink comes out of it? I'm not sure, myself.

Hmmm, a writing tool does not quite fit with the rest of the sentence, I think.
But one thing is certain, February is going to be interesting. And we should all be careful.

I was thinking along the lines of 'shaping what's around them', but... you're right, it still doesn't makes sense.  ̄ヘ ̄;; How frustrating!

As per usual, it looks like we won't truly know until these things start to happen. If only they'd just talk to us, or give clearer explanations...

Ahhhh I think I see what you mean. The shaping part of the sentence is really confusing me.

Yes, that would be much more helpful than vague warnings and incorrect idioms.

A lot of us seem confused by it. You're not alone there! ¯\_(⌣̯̀⌣́)_/¯

I'm sure they're trying their best with what they have. I just wish we were as much in the loop as they seem to be.
Maybe they're just as lost as we are.

That is a worrying thought. That they are as lost about this as us. I do feel they are trying hard, but sometimes I feel we are more confused after these posts than before.

I know what you mean. Ever since I first received the app, none of these posts have made any sense. Judging by the reactions of those who've had it for longer, it's likely been that way since this started.

I guess all we can do is what Joanne suggests. Try to get ready and be careful.

It seems that way.

Oh! Do you fight? We could spar together!
