[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.

Oh!

[Haru only barely recognizes him, mostly from him talking about the restaurant, but she definitely remembers taking on and obliterating the mapo tofu challenge.]

In that case, maybe I should try the challenge again!
I feel I ought to have another victory before this storm.

[ Well, that is a name that he immediately recognizes. There is only a handful of people that have actually beaten the challenge, after all. ]

Please do.
I always am fond of seeing you visit, Haru.
It's rare to meet someone who enjoys mapo tofu as much as I do, after all.
And I always appreciate the business you bring.

[gunsandveggies]

I'm surprised it's a rarity! The flavor is so incredibly rich and full of spices; I enjoy it every time I'm there!

[Granted, she's not totally rich, so she can't be there all the time, but it's always a treat when she can.]

You're a lot calmer about all this than most people I've seen. It's a nice viewpoint to see!

[ Being dead inside really helps with the zen. ]

Thank you.
I feel like I can trust those that came before me.

[ And that is not a lie. Trust just doesn't make him happy or unhappy. He trusts them. Whoop-dee-doo. If it ends up not working out, oh well. That wouldn't diminish the trust he has in them since ultimately, it won't impact him negatively or positively. Yay, nihilism. ]

And I know there is nothing I can do for anyone but offer some food.
I'm just happy you were one who is on this app who could see it, Haru.

[At least there's some trust in there!! That counts for something. The littlest of somethings.]

All of us are in this together. Whatever comes, we'll work through it the same way.

I appreciate you doing this for everyone! I'm sure you'll have a lot of business because of it.
Then more people can stop by after this is over!

Such kind regards and sentiments -- they humble me.
Thank you, Haru.
I hope that you have been well through all of this.
From what I gather, there has been some difficulties for people.
