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.

Really? I suppose they are becoming less and less prevalent, what with apartments and other non-traditional housing solutions being available...

But yes. We try to use it for stock reasons only, but it might be okay for a handful of people.

Perhaps I should get some emergency supplies.

I think they're still pretty common in parts of the country with tornados. But I guess they're not great to have in places that get earthquakes a lot, so we don't really have them in California or I think Japan.

Have you ever camped in the basement?

No. I have never camped in the basement... the thought never really crossed my mind. The weather has always seemed fair, but never dangerous. I suppose not realizing what goes on when the application is enabled really changes a lot of things.

[ like memories and magic and all that jazz ]

It might be fun, but it might also get crowded. I think it would comfortably fit maybe three or four.

Does the basement have electricity/climate control? That probably makes a big difference to how comfortable it would be to spend a long time there...

Yes. You would be surprised how delicate some dried leaves can be. Though if the power goes out, it may become a little stuffy.

Either way. If things go pear-shaped, so to speak, and you need shelter? My doors are always open.

Thank you!
Mine are, too. I mean, in case you happen to be in the neighborhood when/if things get bad.
We do have a cat, though.

A cat...

I suppose I could tolerate a little of discomfort in order to indulge in petting your cat. It would be an honor, actually.

Your cat's name is?
