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.

Adult shit. How old do you even think I am? Careful with your answer.

[steadycourse]

I would guess 24!! Am I close?

[hauntedsavior]

Close enough to not piss me off. Now you just have to worry about pissing me off by telling me that everybody needs a 4.0 GPA and a full ride to make themselves useful to society. Grow up.

[steadycourse]

I wasn't going to say that!! Everyone has their own way in contributing to society and that's fine!

Well, as long as it's not illegal!!

[hauntedsavior]

Could've fooled me. Thought you were a shoe-in for the kind of pain in the ass kid who listens to everything his parents tell him and thinks they're right about everything and doesn't ever do any thinking for himself.

I'm not touching the illegal thing, though.

[steadycourse]

Don't misunderstand, I do listen to them! They just weren't around a lot!

[hauntedsavior]

So your defense is that I'm totally right? You're not super great at this, are you?

[steadycourse]

No, I didn't say that!!

Besides, it is possible to listen to your parents and be your own person still! No two days are the same for any person, so it's impossible for me to be exactly like them!!

[hauntedsavior]

Mmm, sounds fake. Feel like burning yourself out yelling at someone on the internet some more, or are you about done?

[steadycourse]

I'm not yelling! It's how I convey my text!

I did always find it difficult to express tone through this manner, which is sometimes why I use emoticons! But I guess I have nothing else to say to you!

[hauntedsavior]

You could literally just stop using exclamation points and end a sentence like a normal human being.

[steadycourse]

But how else will you know that I'm passionate about my beliefs?! A mere period doesn't seem enough!

[hauntedsavior]

If you're so passionate about everything, are you really passionate about anything at all? Can't just yell about everything all the time.

[steadycourse]

But I'm not passionate about everything! For instance, I'm not passionate about anime or television shows or video games.

[hauntedsavior]

Jesus. What do you do for fun?

[steadycourse]

I don't do anything for fun. If I have the time to have fun, I have the time to study or volunteer!

Not to mention, I have to help my friends recover their memories! It's important to them.

[hauntedsavior]

Holy shit. I don't give life advice because I don't usually give a shit, but watch a movie or something. Relax for a couple hours. Otherwise you are gonna burn out harder than anybody's burned out in their life.

[steadycourse]

Sometimes I watch a couple of anime episodes with my roommate, just so I can understand him better! I wouldn't call that as fun though, not for me! It's difficult to enjoy something when you know that you can be far more productive than just sitting down and doing nothing!

And don't be concerned, I can last!

[hauntedsavior]

Uh huh. Sure. Come to me in a couple years when you're done burning through all that energy and you realize you've been running on fumes for months. I still won't be any good at giving advice, but at least I'll get to say I told you so.

[steadycourse]

And if I don't burn out, I'll be the one to say I told you so!

Okay, I accept this challenge! In two years, I'll tell you if I'm still this dedicated!

[hauntedsavior]

Christ. Yeah, I'll be sure to mark my calendar.

[steadycourse]

Then it's settled! Look forward to it!! （｡≧◇≦）ﾉ
