Welcome back, users. Looks like we were able to bring you back online and tracked again...here's hoping the layers are settled now, but the readings are off the chart. We're doing our best to stabilize the city for December while we track some of the magical sources we're picking up. It may take us some time though, so please bear with us! We may be working through the holidays, too, if this keeps up. But it's okay. You opened the doors and new routes for us to check. Stay positive, users. December is a special time of the year. What's your favorite holiday tradition? You'd be surprised how thoughts shape things here. Please take care. Joanne Wiseman Technician 2nd class Retrspec Incorporated Characters' display names are the same as whatever they chose last month and are permanently locked in!

Maybe this will teach you not to count your McChickens before they hatch

[fiddlestick]

Great! Be there at 7:30 then?

And it sure does. I've tested it myself.

If I've doomed us all I'm very sorry in advance

[scythegun]

It's entirely because of the size, actually. If I don't have enough space for the rifle, the crossbow's my only option for ranged combat! So it makes sense and it works, but it's hardly my first choice.

[it is also nowhere near as cool as a giant rifle, but that's totally not important shhh.]

right? I'm much happier seeing someone else enjoy something I got them instead of getting something myself

coincidentally is there anything you want Santa Claus to bring you for Christmas? a little elf wants to know :)

Look at this wholesome response...you're melting my heart, Rean

I used to do a little baking myself back home but uh...

heh

[thesettingsun]

You could also solve this problem by not having your rifle be impractically large.

[cardcaptured]

It's possible, if we can track it down.

Do you know if anyone from your group is still on the app? A lot of people from my own group lost Retrospec, so there's not many I can talk to on my end about it.

[Including his guardian and said guardian's girlfriend... which makes this even more of a bitter pill to deal with]

[scythegun]

We already have plenty of people who are capable of fighting, and by that point there's bound to be plenty more! So we should be fine, no need to worry about that!

Here's hoping that isn't what we'll be facing, though. That would be a bit annoying!

[scythegun]

It's not like I can change it now!

i sure absolutely wanted this shit back in my life, boy howdy its just a real treat seeing this on my phone again what a huzzah day.

but uh idk we usually just dug into our leftover cookies and then catch whatevers at theaters.

kinda feels weird going back to that after family forgetfulness and shit tho.

[fiddlestick]

Oh, huh. Learn something new every day.

Maybe I'll suggest it to my roommates before they get the idea that the last 50 Shades film could be our Christmas movie......

Don't see why they can't do a shift system so they can get their butts home at SOME point

Then again, corporations be corporations


A gift exchange wouldn't be so bad, though

[thisloveisjustice]

Yeah, I was added in May of last year. Pretty much most of the people I knew who were part of the February batch has since lost the app.

[fiddlestick]

Oh, huh. Can't say that's a tradition I've heard before...but sounds easier than cooking!

[spirithacker]

mr togusa is still here
hes a policeman so he probably keeps track of legal stuff like that

[jurai]

Maybe you shouldn't say BLATANTLY WRONG OPINIONS to get my hopes up...

You're so cruel

hello everyone! i'm sure everyone is very excited for Christmas, but don't forget that Hanukkah is happening starting sundown tomorrow! and to help celebrate, i'll be making sufganiyot during the holiday for anyone who asks, or latkes if you want something more savory.

let me know if you're interested here and i'll be sure to make you some!

[thesettingsun]

Just because you can't change it doesn't mean it isn't dumb.

[motiv8]

It's the season of giving, after all!

Hm... I'm never any good at actually coming up with Christmas lists, even for family. If you insist, then just... something small you see and think "oh, he'd like that." That's enough for me.

But the same goes to you, you know. Anything in particular?

[jurai]

Well it

...

It takes place on Christmas. And there's a dad trying his hardest to get home to his family on Christmas Eve.

[But...you know. With more explosions.]

[scythegun]

It's not my fault my past life was like this!

[thesettingsun]

It isn't really a surprise, but it's kind of annoying when you're trying to figure things out.

[motiv8]

Big words from someone who called me the Grinch, but I'll take it.

Yeah, I recall reading something about that upstream. Want to explain to me how you made your baked goods OOZE?

[thesettingsun]

It's a Japanese thing. Christmas Eve, romantic dinner with your significant other. Christmas Day, KFC.
