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.

Layers again, huh? That's what it was? With the ghosts and all? I'd hope this nonsense is stabilized, one of those assholes was trying to be me! Though, new routes? New places? Is this fun, nice routes or....?

But I love the decorations! The lights! The food, especially! Making lists to get people's presents. I've starting thinking on some ideas but I really have to get shopping soon now it's actually December.

don't forget the fried chicken

Is KFC even open on Christmas? I guess at least since it isn't as huge a thing here, it's probably easier to figure getting some in comparison to Japan now. Don't have to book in advance or whatever.

....You know I'm still not sure how or why that even started being a Thing. KFC at Christmas.

[echoing_sutras]

we always got our buckets the day before and reheated it all in the oven on christmas day

and ur guess is as good as mine as to when it all started, it's way older than u or me. mom remembers doing it when SHE was a kid, too.

[dejerate]

Did it reheat okay? I always just devour it once I get it, on the rare occasion I grab fast food.

Guess it's been around longer than I thought.

[echoing_sutras]

i mean the whole point is to eat it with ur family yuu

[dejerate]

I get that. And that there's like next to nothing actually open on the day itself. I've just honestly never tried reheating fast food before. Unless it's pizza.

[echoing_sutras]

is it really that weird?

is my family the weird one here?

[dejerate]

I dunno. Like I said, I'll often keep some pizza to reheat later for another meal, but otherwise I tend to just eat more or less right away. So I haven't reheated fast food. Others might have though.

[echoing_sutras]

i mean its not like we have a choice




i mean outside frying our own chicken but my mom's not much of a cook as it is.

[dejerate]

I guess.

I guess I can't really talk. My foster dad isn't the best cook either but he can at least figure some basics. And so can I.

[echoing_sutras]

i end up doing a lot of the cooking at home but i dont mind! its just another way to express my creativity!

[dejerate]

Expressing your creativity, huh?

[echoing_sutras]

come on u had to see a response like that comin

[dejerate]

Guess I should have, yeah. You do seem the creative type or whatever.

[echoing_sutras]

"creative type or whatever" wow

[dejerate]

Never said I was good at this. Making friends and all. This is probably nearing some record of being in the same place for about a year before we would move, sometimes. At least, since I was adopted.

[echoing_sutras]

im not seriously getting on ur case about it. tbh it was kinda cute in how blunt it was

[dejerate]

....cute?

[echoing_sutras]

yes.

im not taking it back

[dejerate]

Nobody has called me cute since I was like four or something, if then.

[He's a teenage boy? Teenage boys are not cute. Puppies, kittens, that sort of thing, those are cute. Not him?]

Puppies are cute. Not me.

[matchbreaker]

Oh hell I hope they're nice but I sort of doubt it. Probably more like complicated...?

Lord knows I've got some shopping too

[dejerate]

Probably. Knowing this app for as long as we do by now. There's bound to be some catch. 'Hey, new places to explore but everything there will probably try kill you' or something.

With everything last month and......every fucking month, I kinda lost track. I need to get onto it. Maybe over the weekend.

[matchbreaker]

Lord knows I need to too, especially if I'm going to pretend that guide I made serves a single point.

Oh wait you meant shopping.

That too.

[dejerate]

Yeah, would want to try keep that up to date for any poor new suckers getting the app just now.

But yeah, that. I gotta at least get something for Mika, my foster dad, and Ava.
