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.

We already have plenty of people who are capable of fighting, and by that point there's bound to be plenty more! So we should be fine, no need to worry about that!

Here's hoping that isn't what we'll be facing, though. That would be a bit annoying!

got eaten by a con, sorry for long wait

Just... just a bit.

Understatement of the century, but okay.

no worries!

[scythegun]

Considering some of the things we've been through, fighting monster bunnies would probably be a relief for some people! Monsters tend to be a bit easier to handle than some of the things Retrospec likes to throw at us, after all!

[motiv8]

I mean, you have a point there, but there's also the whole scarring people's childhoods forever thing.

It'd be kind of neat if they dropped candy as loot, though...

[scythegun]

Oh, that would be charming! I'm afraid we'd have plenty of fights over who gets to defeat them in that case, though!

[motiv8]

Brings a whole new meaning to "Easter egg hunt," huh?

[scythegun]

Oh, absolutely! It certainly would be entertaining... I suppose we'll have to see if things are anywhere near as much fun when we get there!

[motiv8]

Haha... you hold out hope for that, I'll hold out hope that things'll stay somewhere close to normal.

[scythegun]

I'd certainly like it if they stayed normal, don't get me wrong! But I gave up on holding out hope for that a long time ago!

[motiv8]

Fair enough, from everything I'm hearing...

How long have you been on this app, anyway? I'm still trying to make sense of any of this.

[scythegun]

I've been dealing with this for well over a year now. You do end up used to it eventually, though I'm not entirely sure that's a good thing...

[motiv8]

Better used to it than a broken mess, I suppose... not sure how much better, myself, but it's something.

[scythegun]

Agreed! There are bound to be things that will be difficult to handle, but I've found that you can get used to nearly anything Retrospec throws at you with enough time and perseverance.

[motiv8]

About the same as any part of life, I guess. Just... way freakier than I ever expected my life to turn out.

Well, thanks for the forewarning.

[scythegun]

Of course, it's the least I can do as someone who has been stuck dealing with all of this for so long!
