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.

Oh, you know. Cats, dogs, nudibranchs.

Fair on all counts, nudibranchs are pretty cute...

Have you met my lovely daughter, Georgia Parva?

How precious! You certainly have excellent taste - in these, at least!

I have fantastic taste in everything.

You don't like the mistletoe bats, so I'm forced to question your otherwise impeccable taste.

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

Oh absolutely not, my taste has always been flawless.

[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.

[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]

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

It's entirely because of the size, actually. If I don't have enough space for the rifle, the crossbow's my only option for ranged combat! So it makes sense and it works, but it's hardly my first choice.

[it is also nowhere near as cool as a giant rifle, but that's totally not important shhh.]

You could also solve this problem by not having your rifle be impractically large.

It's not like I can change it now!

Just because you can't change it doesn't mean it isn't dumb.

It's not my fault my past life was like this!

That's true but I can't judge you on anything else because I like you too much. Except for the bats. Judging you on those.

How cruel! I've never done anything to deserve such treatment!

Are you sure? Nothing ever?

Absolutely not, I've never done anything wrong in my life~! ☆

Then I'm just a terrible person I guess.

It's true, clearly you are!

...Didn't we have this discussion on the last post too?

I'm pretty sure we did. I guess this is just our friendship now?

Our friendship's a bit on the strange side, isn't it?

Maybe. And yet I wouldn't trade it for anything ♥
