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 suppose I probably should care more about the content of this post, but I only have one thing on my mind:

Are we getting those mistletoe bats again this year?

[thesettingsun]

Please don't let us have mistletoe bats again, I will actually die.

[scythegun]

Where's your holiday spirit? Those bats were precious.

[you really don't want to know how many he adopted.]

[thesettingsun]

Jaeger, I respect you and your opinions, but they were absolutely not precious.

mistletoe

what

like bats carrying mistletoe or???

[scythegun]

Oh no, they were bats made of mistletoe! They were absolutely adorable, they did nothing but sing! They were such a joy to have around!

[everyone hated them, jaeger's just weird.]

[interlucere]

haha that sounds cute

unless you had to kiss under them. then maybe not so much

[matchbreaker]

Oh you know I still didn't go out to those caves again to see if I can control them again!

[scythegun]

That would depend on if they're most mistletoe than bat, I'd assume. I'm inclined to believe they are, if only because they're so full of holiday cheer!

[matchbreaker]

Oh, probably. But it still seems worth checking if I could add them to the fold.

[godcards]

We better not.

[ he didn't even have to deal with them last year and yet... ]

[scythegun]

You didn't like them? I thought they were adorable!

[godcards]

I was lucky enough to avoid them, but they sound troublesome.

[jurai]

Are we talking like

Fuzzy-squeaky-flappy-bats or I'm-gonna-hit-you-with-this-stick-of-titanium bats

Important details

[scythegun]

The fuzzy kind! Though now that you've mentioned it, baseball bats made of mistletoe would be hilarious and I wouldn't put it past Retrospec.

[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

[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.

[cardcaptured]

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

[If he's forced to kiss anyone, even his girlfriend, he will DIE]

[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.]

[breakingvoice]

oh my GOSH mistletoe bats sound really cute?
of all the things that Retrospec could do during the holidays that's probably one of the better ones
i wasn't on the app last year but i wouldn't mind getting to see them again

[scythegun]

[finally someone who agrees!!!]

They were very cute! I never approve of anything Retrospec does, but the mistletoe bats were a treasure and I would gladly welcome them back!

[manufactured]

Hopefully we'll end up with fewer losses this time, should we get the bats again.

[He has dogs that really, really liked chasing the bats.

There were a few casualties.]

[scythegun]

Hopefully! It really was terrible to lose so many...

[the bats deserved so much better???]

[blondferret]

Why would you wonder such a awful thing?

[scythegun]

They're so charming! I really don't see why so many people dislike them so much.
