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.

Yeah...Skyping might be the best idea. At least we should probably be able to do that THIS year...

A santa costume would look nice on you!

[thesettingsun]

I think it's more likely your taste is what's at fault here.

[flametheif40]

Magic? I remember my physcis teacher was saying something around the lines that the reindeer should burn to a crisp if they were real.

But since magic is legit....why not? Maybe he makes two runs? One to drop all the presents, then carries the cookies after?

[jurai]

Ah, now you're talkin' my language

Payment in chowder is fine by me. It says it heals frostbite, too?

[thesettingsun]

Please let it be boring. I will listen to the same Christmas song on repeat all month if that's what it takes to not have any major disasters happen.

[standalonehuman]

Hitori Togusa Noo! That's no fun! It's always more fun to do things for people than get presents this time of year!
Hitori Togusa There's got to be something.

[thisloveisjustice]

[no james, it is not the case]

you mean retrospec revived you.

[he's still not completely buying it. but is currently using a hotline]

[thesettingsun]

Okay, more important question: why was your physics teacher like this.

[jurai]

Whoa, talk about determined little buggers

The real MVPs of the holiday season

[scythegun]

Oh absolutely not, my taste has always been flawless.

[standalonehuman]

Hitori Togusa I. Thank you. I wouldn't say that myself, but. Okay, I'll accept it.
Hitori Togusa I just try to be the best man I can.
Hitori Togusa Good thing I'm in the company of another of the nicest people on the app.

What about Wendy the security person? She mentioned having a homeworld awhile back.

[scythegun]

They really are! If you gather enough together, some of them will even attempt to sing the percussion part of the song and that's a joy to listen to!

[it's terrible??? it's so terrible.]

[yakan]

thats some determination alright
heres hoping it doesnt drive you into doing something not boring

[ kiyoshi, shuji can not see you doing an air toast to his honor (or...something) through text ]

[frostythehitman]

i don't know if retrospec had anything to do with it
all i know is i woke up a few days later in the hospital with the doctors telling me they managed to fix me up
and then they just sent me on my way

[Note to self: plan Christmas shopping and gingerbread dates with Sakura ASAP

... although that's probably not the most pressing matter here, honestly--]

Are you okay? The stuff with the ghosts and your mother... do you want to talk about it?

[thesettingsun]

[He could comment on the cravat, but since he knows why Jaeger wears one, that would be too mean and Shuji would feel terrible. Instead:]

You use a scythe and don't think it's the worst weapon ever devised.

[thesettingsun]

Sounds fake but okay.

[thesettingsun]

[what honor]

You're absolutely right. Maybe I should alternate between two different Christmas songs.

[breakingvoice]

oh my gosh you'd look SO GOOD in a cute little Santa outfit

[scythegun]

[thank you for sparing him... it really is only out of necessity, he just tries to own it.]

That isn't fair, I'm equally skilled with swords, rifles, and crossbows! They're not all terrible weapons!

[except for the fact that only the sword is sane, the rest are either massive or incredibly stupid, looking at you, crossbow]

I think the best part is watching people open their gifts. Or the feeling right before they do, when you're excited to see how they'll react.

Although... it just occurred to me I'm probably going to miss making cookies with my mother and sister this year. That's a little sad. I'm sure I can ask them to send me some, but it's not really the same.

[yakan]

[ "honor" then ]

sounds like a bit of a better plan
any idea of which ones to go with???

[thesettingsun]

Who the hell uses a crossbow when they have access to a rifle? Not even considering the sizes of those things.
