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.

Yes, I really am, thank you.

:)

It can all be pretty weird when you first find it, yeah.
I know it was for me.
But it can be exciting too!

[unidolize]

I assure you, I appreciate it, especially during a time like this.

Exciting? How so?

[chaoticwhimsy]

I'm always here to help.

Well.
Sometimes there's monsters.
Or mysterious tunnels to explore

[unidolize]

That was the attack during August, wasn't it?
And you found that exciting?
Weren't you afraid?

[chaoticwhimsy]

Well yeah
But I only found the network during all that so
It was weird
A few days of it I knew what was wrong and was so scared
And the others, monsters were...

Normal?

It kind of hurts to think about it too hard.

[unidolize]

...I see.
I remember that phenomenon, back in August. And I remember thinking that it wasn't quite a huge deal myself.
Looking back, I'm not sure how I could've possibly thought that way; though from what I understand, this app is like an "awakening" of sorts, isn't it?

[chaoticwhimsy]

Yeah, it's exactly like an awakening.
One day you're asleep
the next you can see theworld.

[unidolize]

As if we've been blind this entire time.

I see.

If I may ask, how has this application affected your daily routine, if at all?

[chaoticwhimsy]

Preeeeetty much!

Spooky, huh?

Well.
It gave me superpowers?
Which are fun.

But I mean I still have to go to school and stuff.

[unidolize]

Quite so.

...You, too?
What kind of superpowers, exactly, did Retrospec give you?

[chaoticwhimsy]

I got a magic dog!

[Amongst other things that she doesn't talk about as much.]

[unidolize]

....
What?

[chaoticwhimsy]

I can summon a monster dog to protect me.
Or do dog stuff.

Magic dog!
