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.

I think I like all the Christmas lights around town? They're really pretty, and it makes for a nice atmosphere when you're street performing at night.

Anyway, with everyone having the holidays in mind, I wanna announce that I'll be selling my food at the farmer's market again! I have the ability to enchant food so it can heal or temporarily boost your abilities like speed or strength. It's great for training, it tastes great, and they even sparkle so it'd be a pretty looking gift!

Here's my menu if you want to know what I offer. I'll be at the farmer's market Saturday and Sunday mornings, so please stop by!

Thanks!

Al

Maybe play some White Elephant!

I always wanted to do that!

Oh, I wasn't questioning Die Hard being a Christmas movie. You're not the first person I've heard claim that. It's wrong, but it's not a novel idea. I was questioning your display name.

Pretty sure my heart is filled with muscle tissue and all that good stuff and not unwashed socks, but you do you.

i thought zee was a delta
but yeah i did hear some stuff from a ghost last month about retrospec stuff
he said that the founders chose to put vanderweele in prison instead of kill him because they needed to keep him around to figure out what parts of the city he magic'd up and how to undo it
apparently they've been doing it for decades now and i don't think it's over yet either
he made it sound like the magic is still around and that vanderweele is still alive somewhere

hey Elli do you need any help at your stall?I can put some flyers around campus too if you have any!

[scythegun]

Piranhas aren't nearly as cute as the mistletoe bats.

...Though they are cute.

[i'm sorry he's like this.]

[cardcaptured]

... Die Hard doesn't sound like the name of a Christmas movie.

[It sounds like the very opposite, in fact???]

[godcards]

How long have you been on this app? I don't recognize your name... Are you trying to tell me to put aside everything Retrospec has done to me, simply because it's... what? Inconvenient for you?

[scythegun]

They make great pets!

[NO THEY DON'T and also you didn't ask but have an answer anyway??]

[jurai]

My display name only amplifies what we all knew Rean Schwarzer




And bet you five bucks its a Christmas movie

[thesettingsun]

Zee was a Delta. So's Joanne.

[motiv8]

Mistletoe bats. We had mistletoe bats?

Anyone care to explain any other holidays this app is going to ruin for me? I'd just rather be prepared

[cardcaptured]

... please don't put that out there.

FUCKING SIGNED

0_0 Damn, must have been some REALLY good marketing.

So, Santa is chowing down on KFC in Japan?

[standalonehuman]

Hitori Togusa It's the standard joke for any present that's ridiculously impractical or childish. At the holidays, though, wishes like that are more allowed.

[thesettingsun]

You know, I actually don't know what security system the library has. I'll ask.

And of course you're one of the nicest people on the app??

Re: Al

[thisloveisjustice]

I'm guessing those were the houses we found last month.

Though, whether 'trap making' would apply best to Mahoney or Vandeweele, IDK.

[scythegun]

We did! They were so cute~! ☆

Honestly, just prepare yourself for Retrospec to ruin every holiday. That's just sort of how things go around here.

[thesettingsun]

They're blobby and silly-looking. As long as their mouths are closed.

[jurai]

You are like a siren song with that chowder right there

I'll even get up early for some of that


If you need any heavy lifting or help getting set up let me know

[yakan]

that is worrying
but at least they didnt just think that we were simply gone and worried tons about it

[thisloveisjustice]

Ah. Yes, thank you. I wonder if Delta means they're Retrospec employees, b/c as far as I know, Joanne isn't like us or Zee.

[scythegun]

Maybe it'll be the one time they actually listen to what we're saying on this post! Wouldn't that be unlucky~? ☆

[for everyone but him, apparently.]

[motiv8]

Just got here, so that would be why.

No, I just think it doesn't help much of anything to lose yourself to despair. What does that accomplish other than letting them win?
