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.

hes kind of a nerd
what do nerds like

Depends on the kind of nerd. Speaking as a nerd, there's a lot of variation.

i dont know how to classify nerds!!

What's the nerdiest thing about him?

he watches torts and tribulations
hes a
whatever the fuck they call them
torties??
tortes
tortles

I think I've heard of it. That one's about lawyers, right?

yeah
its actually really good
he had me watch it

Okay. You could get him some merchandise for that show? A lot of shows have at least shirts and mugs, even if they don't have a ton of merch. Or you could buy him the series on DVD. I bet he can't track DVDs even if he can track you.

i think hes got most of that stuff
hes too strong as a nerd shuji
ill never beat him that way

You're not trying to out-nerd him. You're trying to show that you've paid enough attention to his nerdiness to find things that he'll like, and he'll be impressed and touched.

yeah but like
i dont think theres anything left

You could commission something.

tell me more

Commissioning fanart is a thing people do for their favorite series, and I guarantee he doesn't already have something you paid someone to draw especially for him. Do you know if there's a romantic relationship on the show he's really invested in? You could get someone to draw you and him in their outfits and that would be sweet. Or you could just get a picture of his favorite character looking awesome.

oh shit thats a great idea
youre the best shuji

Always happy to help!

what are you doing with mista?
any special plans?

I'm making homemade chocolate and praying he doesn't notice while I'm in the process of making it. Besides that, I was thinking of getting us movie tickets to a romcom he's been wanting to see...

making homemade chocolate sounds complicated
he definitely got a winner

That's why I'm making practice batches before Valentine's Day. I absolutely won't give him anything that's less than delicious. He deserves the best.

damn good luck
i admire your dedication

Thanks, I'll need all the luck I can get. I'm sure whatever you're doing for Kiryu will be just as amazing.

yeah itll be good no matter what cause we'll have each other

You two are really good for each other.

yeah....we're really lucky
