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.

so i am a bit not following since i was mostly not really present last month what did i miss exactly???

also as long as theres good food and not annoying people all holidays are equally good
but what places do you think has the best christmas food???

Did you notice that your close friends and family off the app forgot who you were last month?

my kids that live with me sometimes were with their other respective parents this month and they can some times be really busy
when i called or messaged i figured they werent picking up or answering because they were busy or annoyed with me
they do that sometimes
the one that did answer did say that they didnt know who i was but thats ben a prank in the past

[ he's a caring parent but he's also pretty relaxed about it. he believes in giving them freedom. also some of his exspouses doesn't really like him very much... ]

Oh. No, ghosts started taking our places and people literally forgot about us.

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

There is that. I think I prefer this to when we could hear them looking for us.

you think so?? each to their own i guess
i think i prefer that they dont worry themselves sick

That's what I'm saying. When they were looking for us and getting worried and we couldn't tell them we were right here and okay.

[hm?? ]

oh
i think i missed one word or something when i read your reply
yeah that is preferable

[that month sucked kiyoshi]

Yeah. It's not great choosing which unreality bullshit sucks less, because most of it is pretty bad, but that's the world we're living in now I guess.

[ it's just november he missed so ]

sure seems that way
itll just keep happening over and over too it seems
it will probably make for an interesting christmas

I, personally, could go for a boring Christmas.

same here but its probably too much to hope for
even if the stuff that happens happens before and ends before there might be ripples or whatever
still yeah
a calm boring christmas would be great

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.

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 ]

There were plenty of ghosts running around last month. From the sound of it, some of them were trying to take over peoples' lives here? I didn't run into that issue myself, so last month was remarkably quiet for me. It was a nice break, really.

ghosts are always a fun addition to the strange shenanigans
were you in solitary confinement as well???

Oh no, not at all! I was getting married!

What happened to land you in solitary confinement?

oh!! congratulations!!

physical changes that i didnt want people to throw a fuss over
i had enough of that the last time

Thank you!

That's certainly understandable, I've done that a few times as well... Hopefully the physical changes aren't too troublesome?

i now have fur on my fingertips and claws
i work as a cook so this is very inconvenient
ive been working on not poking holes on gloves this past month

Oh dear, that does sound incredibly annoying. Are you having much luck with that?

better than at the start of last month at least

Well, at least there's that... Hopefully things get easier from here on out!

mm hope is the best we have right now so yes!!
