[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.

once you grow up youll see what i mean

[compendiem]

I'm grown up. I'm 21.

[sotenbori]

what the fuck youre 21

[compendiem]

We've met in person. How old did you think I was?

[sotenbori]

16?
i dunno im bad at age

[compendiem]

Oh. It's fine, whatever.
I do feel like I'm still 16 sometimes. Don't think I've grown any taller since then, either.

[sotenbori]

its better than people thinking youre old right
everyone thinks im like 50

[compendiem]

What are you, 49?

[sotenbori]

im 24

[compendiem]

I was pretty close.
Maturity has its benefits, though. People trust you and don't worry about you.

[sotenbori]

you werent even a little close
the not worrying thing isnt true though
people worry regardless

[compendiem]

I was almost halfway there.
They have less of a reason to. Adults don't running into the street or jumping off bridges. Or they do, but people don't worry about it until it happens.

[sotenbori]

well thats a real kick in the dick

[compendiem]

Was that a bad example

[sotenbori]

it was just all about death
fucking depressing

[compendiem]

Sorry, it was the first things that came to mind.
Adults also don't... eat things off the ground?

[sotenbori]

doesnt that worry you

[compendiem]

Yeah, there's germs on the ground. Adults know better.

[sotenbori]

not that part

[compendiem]

You mean the death thing. It doesn't worry me. Personally.

[sotenbori]

it doesnt worry you that youre like 10 and you think about death that much

[compendiem]

I'm 21 and it's been a thing since I was 6. It's a reality, just like the sky being blue. Valid thoughts to have.

[sotenbori]

21 is as close to 10 and 49 is to 24

im not gonna tell you how to live your life kid but
sometimes they tell people to talk to people about shit like that you know

[compendiem]

21 is closer to 10, but I get your point.
I know. But I'm fine, honest. It's not like talking about it will make death go away.

[ he's not fine but he'll realize this later in the month maybe ]

[sotenbori]

are you just obsessed with the idea it might happen or
