[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.

This month's freebie can be earned by turning in a thread on this post that has 5 or more consecutive comments from you with someone new. We define someone new as someone new to the game, or simply someone your character has never tagged before. Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. Usernames are the character's full real AU names, not aliases or chosen nicknames or usernames, and seemed to have filled themselves in; nothing characters do can change or obscure their names currently.

I remember that, being shrunk.
But I thought that was a normal occurrence...
Does being on the app suddenly make you aware of everything?

[truedetective]

There's a nearly perfect correlation.
In fact, the "nearly" is simply a qualifier, because I may not be aware of an instance in which it does not apply.

That said, the causation is unclear.
Perhaps it is getting the app that makes you aware.
Perhaps the app is sent to those who are now aware.

Either way, if you wake up, you get the app.

...I see.
Interesting.
I have to wonder what exactly is the main thing causing us to "wake up" and how its mechanisms work.
An application should not be this advanced.

[truedetective]

It's not.
The app itself is just a tool, I think.

The people who use it are a different story.

[unidolize]

...So you think that it really is something awakening within ourselves, and that it's not a product of the application?

[truedetective]

Yes.
I don't think the application itself is nearly powerful enough to do this.
It's a symptom, not a cause.]
