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 doubt that'll save you from your eventual fate...but it'll postpone it

Is that gonna be your holiday get together?

[fiddlestick]

Still worth it.

Um, maybe? I'm sure my cousins will wanna do something, but since I'm not going home this year, I'd like to do some stuff with friends.

You too, of course.

[jurai]

Yeah, you've got a lot of your family around this city, don't you? I swear I can't go two feet without running into a Fairweather

I've got n plans, so if you ever want to just grab a coffee or some takeout, I'd be down

[This man has the bare minimum of them holiday plans, you see.]

[fiddlestick]

Haha, yeah feels that way. The Fairweathers are on my mom's side. There's also a few from my birth dad's side.

Okay, I'll let you know! Oh, and let me know if you get anything from Retrospec. It doesn't all the time, but often people will start getting stuff around the one month mark.

[jurai]

Your family gets bigger and bigger...how do you even keep track


Wait...Retrospec gives you things? You mean like your photo?

[fiddlestick]

Same way you somehow keep track of all those gatcha game girls you collect? I can't tell any of those apart....

Yeah, like the photo. Other stuff too.

[jurai]

Don't say that about Kotori-chan she just got her Christmas variant today

But you know what

I think...I've heard of that

Rayne had two tickets to pick up some stuff

[fiddlestick]

Uh...which one is Kotori?

[HIS POINT. RIGHT THERE]

Yeah! You get a ticket in the mail to pick up something in a mailbox by the waffle place downtown.

[jurai]

Light brown hair and a smile that can clear up a rainy day!

[YOU BIG HOMOSEXUAL]

Damn. I hope I get something...it's kind of exciting to think that stuff just appears from your past life

Free swag thanks to reincarnation

[fiddlestick]

Oh, her.

[Vaguely remembers her maybe?? But yeah, useless gay, guilty as charged]

Haha, is that what we're calling it? Free reincarnation swag.

I'm sure you will, sooner or later!

[jurai]

"Oh her." You are one cruel, cruel man sometimes


And yes, there's non more perfect name for such a thing

[fiddlestick]

She's a fictional character, Crow. I'd remember a real girl better!

You know, I can't argue that. Free Reincarnation Swag it is.

[jurai]

Enough of your lies and slander! SHE'S REAL IN OUR HEARTS!

I don't even know who you are anymore...

[fiddlestick]

[Wow, Crow laying it on thick aren't we. Elliot here starts to feel bad. Crow always put up with him going on about music, and here he was dissing his interests...]

Oh, I didn't realize it meant that much to you...

I'm sorry, that was mean of me. I'll do better to remember.

[jurai]

[Oh no, he teased too hard!]

Oh

Oh no it's not like...that. I was just teasing

[He'll straighten himself up now for this conversation, making sure not to focus too much on teasing the poor boy.]

Gacha games ARE pretty fun though...they help pass the time

[fiddlestick]

Really?

Whew...I was worried I hurt your feelings.

[Soft as ever this one was.]

Yeah, I've heard that. That one with songs you had was pretty fun.

[Yeah he can't remember it's name at all]

[jurai]

Relax, you'd have to try pretty hard to hurt my feelings

I've had way worse thrown my way

[It helps to keep your heart guarded in those times. Flash a quarterback smile and no one knows the difference.]

Oh the rhythm one? Yeah, it's pretty fun, but some of the events are killers on my fingers...

[fiddlestick]

Not sure if that's comforting or worrying...

[Crow are you okay......]

Haha, really? I could give them a shot if you have trouble.

[jurai]

Considering yours was a 1 on a scale of 10, I'd say you can take comfort.

[You're not Malik, Elliot. Remember that.]

Wait


Seriously?


Shit, you're a music nerd you'd probably be HELLA

[fiddlestick]

Well that's nice...but what's a 10?

[He is glad for that at least!]

Ahaha, I don't know if I'd be that good. But I'm not bad at memorizing rhythms!

[He says, super underselling himself]

[jurai]

I don't know...I guess no one's really gotten to 10 yet

[He has a long fuse, ok]

Hey, you've got smaller, more delicate fingers and you make that violin of yours sing

Don't undersell yourself so much

[fiddlestick]

Good. I hope no one does.

[Because Crow does not need people being actually mean to him?? He will protect you tall leggy friend]

Sorry, bad habit. I'll give it my best shot and see what happens.

[jurai]

Don't worry, I can stand up for myself when that moment comes. Believe it or not, I've gotten angry before

[Hard to imagine, with how easy he takes things. Even his 'anger' he's shown has been more comical than anything.]

That's the spirit! You don't have to worry, I'm F2P so there's no pressure

[fiddlestick]

Wow, really? That's almost hard to imagine...not sure I ever want to see it.

[Because if something manages to piss off Crow, then god helps us all]

Okay, good to know!
