[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.

(from here!)

if possible, such events that involve any form of physical injury or public humiliation, i'd like to avoid them at all costs

[compendiem]

Impossible.

[justchords]

look, i can dream, can't i? just one easy month where nothing happens?

[compendiem]

You *could* dream.

And be disappointed.

If you want.

[justchords]

you're not an optimist, are you?

[compendiem]

Well. I like to think I'm a realist rather than a pessimist. Does that count as optimism?

[justchords]

i think it's more sensible than anything. dealing with things as they come is probably a better option than constantly looking for good or bad in a situation

i can respect that

[compendiem]

Yeah.

So how come you freak out so much?

[justchords]

i get stressed easily and a lot

not a good combo, i know, but getting it all out at once helps so it's not just stewing for ages and making things worse

[compendiem]

Hmm. I don't really get stressed all that often. Have you tried not caring so much about things?

[justchords]

you know what? you're right! i should just not care so much! excuse me while i just flip the switch in my mind that makes me give a shit!

[compendiem]

That's the spirit. Let me know how it goes.

[justchords]

i was being sarcastic

i can't just not be stressed

[compendiem]

Oh. Well. Stress can be a good thing. It means you care. Even if you're destroying yourself in the process.
