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.

you can be my mixer!

handmixed batter is so much better than electric mixed imo

[openhanded]

it's a labor of love!

does handmixed stuff really taste better? I can't tell the difference. I just know store bought stuff tastes like preservatives... though I'll eat that too

[complementing]

do you get a lot of store bought stuff from your students or something? ( ・◇・)

also yes, it tastes so much better!! I just do electric mixed since hand mixing takes ages and tires out my arm...

[openhanded]

[ACK]

um... yes. ╰(▔∀▔)╯ it took me way too long to figure out why

I get that. I usually get put on kneading duty and it makes my knuckles all sore.

[complementing]

...is it because they think you're cute...

[openhanded]

........ yeah..............

[complementing]

okay, important question: do they already know you're in a serious relationship

[openhanded]

I kept it pretty close knowledge for a while. before I was dating Mikleo, students would ask me who the pretty girl on my lock screen was and ask how long we'd been together and I just changed the subject.

I came out when I got engaged though, and that seems to have helped a little.

[complementing]

in that case don't feel bad, they know it's hopeless but they want to give you sweets anyways

[openhanded]

I can accept that. it's not like they're going to waste anyway... I save all the dark chocolate for Mikleo.

what's your favorite candy, anyway? I feel like I should know this but I probably forgot.

[complementing]

hehe I don't blame you because I probably kept changing my favorite on you

chocolate is always good, though! And I like lollipops because I can eat them while working on homework or knitting

[openhanded]

chocolate is a good decision always. that's true about lollipops though, I didn't think about that. I wonder why they're not more popular? they're the perfect candy for someone who can't put down their phone.

[complementing]

maybe because people don't like how drool-y they can get while having lollipops?

it's not that hard though, you just have to suck them the right way to prevent that

[openhanded]

I always end up chewing them. I blame all the blow pops I ate as a kid and the tootsie pops too.

that dang owl......

[complementing]

owl?

[openhanded]

from the commercials! people ask him how many licks does it take to get to the center and then he just eats the whole thing because he's impatient

come to think of it, I haven't seen any commercials like that in a long time.

[complementing]

oh, never seen it before! Now I gotta look it up



omg crunching down on a whole lollipop like that...my teeth ache just watching this

it's a cute commercial though
