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.

nah, that's not my puzzle to solve!

but i figure if you refuse to deny the existence of one, you can't just give the big old heave-ho to the other!

that's about 300% too much existential philosophy for me
but i ain't delusional
by now i know better than to try and deny the existence of
anything probably

[eyestitch]

it's a real slippery slope but you look stupid if you don't, yeah?

flying and talking animals and psychic powers and aliens and healing magic and werewolves and underwater planets and monsters and futuristic worlds

if you say something like, 'i don't think that exists' then you're almost guaranteed to be proven wrong!

that's why it's better not to fight it!

[rebellions]

i can accept all that shit because me saying it's not real ain't gonna make it disappear
i don't get a choice
it's different with us tho
why should we let past us decide who we are?



jfc that came out way too deep

[eyestitch]

if the 👠 fits, honey!

you wouldn't be the first one to start waxing all philosophically about the measure of a transplanted soul or w.t.f-ever we happen to be!

in fact, it's like, everyone's favorite pastime here!

i don't think of it like deciding anything, though! i think of it like a reminder. you were the way you were for a reason, right?

[rebellions]

normally i'd make fun of them for it
but at this point i can't even blame them

what kinda reason would i even need to have to

[Okay, no, stop. First of all, it's not something he wants to reveal (least of all to random people on the internet); secondly, it occurs to him he's... never really given that much thought. The "reason" why that guy—, no, he— would go around murdering people and becoming the most wanted criminal in the world. He assumed there's no reason good enough to do that, but...

... Anyway.]

that's what pisses me the most
not getting a choice in all this crap
