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.

That's the holiday spirit I enjoy seeing! Without the bats we'll be stuck with boring regular mistletoe, and that's hardly as much fun as cute, singing bats that follow you around everywhere!

...i guess it depends on what they sang, because honestly? if it was Christmas carols then that's no different from just going out shopping a lot and i don't see why anyone would be bothered by that

They exclusively sang Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You", which was hilarious. I was tempted to teach them other songs to see if they'd switch to singing those or if they'd sing different songs at the same time... but my husband forbade me from trying it.

aww, he sounds like a real wet blanket. even though that song's REALLY GOOD, you'd probably get tired of hearing it nonstop.
if they do end up coming back then i'm exercising professional veto power over that decision and saying you can teach them whatever songs you want!

[scythegun]

He certainly can be! But he did have a point, in that if I taught them other songs and they were all clashing it would have driven us insane much faster than Mariah Carey. So I suppose I'll just have to see what things look like this year~! ☆
