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.

if i wanted to, then i would try something realistic for a higher success rate.

[psykick]

you're serious?

i saw some really weird stuff last month. but i'm not sure what to believe.

[maskreant]

i can at least tell you this is the norm, actually. it's sometimes hard to predict what's going to happen, but anything goes now.

at least the people on the app are nice for the most part.

[psykick]

i see. so... basically if something weird happens... it's normal?

[WHAT HAS SHE GOTTEN INTO?]

yes. they do seem to be pretty nice.

[though she's seeing quite a bit of sarcasm in other threads]

[maskreant]

it's the new norm if that makes sense.

try not to let it put a damper on your holidays if you celebrate anything this December.

[psykick]

i guess. kind of.

i won't. let it put a damper, i mean. though i still haven't found a christmas present for my mother.

[maskreant]

it's pretty late to Christmas shop, isn't it?

i'm guessing she's picky.

[psykick]

she's kind of one of those people who already has everything. and if she wants something, she just goes and buys it.

[or more precisely sends the housekeeper out to buy it...]

[maskreant]

why don't you make something for her?

[psykick]

idk i'm not exactly the artistic type

[maskreant]

it's the thought and effort that counts, usually.

unless your mom isn't into that.

[psykick]

oh. she is. she really is. and that's kind of the problem right there.

if i don't put enough thought and effort into it, she can tell.

[maskreant]

then you just need to do your best.

don't be nervous.

[psykick]

easier said than done. but thanks. hopefully i'll think of something.
