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.

Um, then... Maybe you'll get more as time goes on?

Our memories seem a lot like puzzles sometimes, so maybe you'll get the missing piece sooner or later and everything will make more sense.

youre right... i tried keeping a notebook to make a timeline out of my memories but even after so long its still a mess :(

i wonder though... when we get memories back it always seems to be like a certain time period! like only remembering stuff when you were a teenager, or a young adult, or only the dramatic parts of your life

maybe this is how amnesiacs feel when they suddenly start remembering

Yeah, I get that. I keep a notebook too, but even if I try to guess, I can only get a general idea of where things go.

It's strange, isn't it? I have one memory that I know is from the winter of my last year of middle school, but it was also one of the biggest turning points of my life. Outside of that, everything seems to be within the same two years or so. Have yours been all over the place?

No kidding... I'm *really* glad I don't have amnesia on top of this. Dealing with that would be a nightmare.

Ugh, middle school is the worst for everyone. I don't even like thinking about my regular middle school memories.

Hopefully it wasn't so bad for you, but also, every middle schooler on the planet is awkward.

Maybe you were just a mature middle schooler... I'm glad they weren't too bad though. I'm pretty lucky that I keep remembering stuff from college, since I don't know if I could handle my middle school self.

You seem like you have a good head on your shoulders, so I'm not surprised.

I don't know you as well as you classmates, but that's what it seems like to me. You're easy to talk to.
