[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.

Super powers. You know, like in the comics?

[argone]

Give me an example?

[explodosafe]

Super-strength. Controlling sound, fire or ice. Messing with time. Stuff like that. Apparently there was even a guy who suddenly could turn himself into milk!!

[argone]

No way. Seriously?

Milkification? That sounds so gross.

[explodosafe]

Right? Just imagine what'd happen if you get into a merry go round like that.

[argone]

I'd go sour. And chunky.

[explodosafe]

Is that better or worse than becoming bitter?

[argone]

Yep. You can use bitters in good mixed drinks. :3

[explodosafe]

Oho~ Are you good at mixing drinks?

[argone]

My Ph.D. is in biology but I could've gotten one in mixology.

[explodosafe]

Whooo, dangerous~!

I bet you're every teenager's and barhopper's best friend with skills like that! The only thing I can mix up well are other people with my fists.

[argone]

Barhoppers, yes. Teenagers? No. Drinking age is still a thing, bucko.

You some sort of delinquent ne'er do well?

[explodosafe]

Rude. I'm doing very well both as a mafia inheritor in this world and as a hero in training in the other. :(

Drinking age varies from country to country, I bet you'll find a lot of people who are still under twenty and have had a drink before.

[argone]

That doesn't mean I'm going to encourage underage drinking in These United States.

[explodosafe]

Wow, stickling to rules much?

I don't mean that you ought to let like... get fourteen year olds get black out drunk, but somebody who's nineteen or twenty? I won't say a thing against one of them having a glass to celebrate something.

How old are you, out of curiosity?

[argone]

I'm twenty eight. I'm also the child of a cop and the mayor.

[explodosafe]

Tossing around the names of your parents isn't very cool.
