[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.

( op )

yeah, i got told about the whole monsters crap that happened
can't believe i thought somethin like *that* was normal for so long

though, ain't a fan of valentines? not like it's that terrible, is it?

[justchords]

i heard about those, too, but i didn't see them. nothing that crazy has happened since, though. just some stupid bats and the city getting weird and stores disappeared for a while

valentines is the worst

[taishou]

i remember the weird decorations and bats more than anythin else
the stores and mail bein screwed up, too
but that's probly since it was just recently
everythin else...

too commercialized for you, or what?

[justchords]

the bats happened in december. i wish i could forget them and the specifics of those cursed things, but i can't. i think the stores got all weird in november?

yeah, pretty much. it's not even "do something for those you love" anymore, it's "buy them everything we're selling or you're horrible"

[taishou]

won't ask how that one went
i didn't have too much trouble with the bats, but i do remember gettin the decorations tryin to wrap me up when i was shoppin
and november sounds about right, i figure

i guess i can see where somebody would start to hate valentines for that kinda reason
that's a lot of vitriol for commercialism, though

[justchords]

please don't. it still haunts my dreams. i'm worried bats will still sing at me and decorations are out to kill me

well, there's a lot of pressure on valentines day, too, whether or not you're dating someone. apparently not doing something for your friends is a snub
