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.

Then why imply that I actually hit you?

I was trying to joke about it, cause I didn't want to sound like "Of course I know, don't you remember almost hitting me!?" and sound super mad and bitter about it! Which I'm not! Really! Trying to freak you out was the last thing I wanted to do cause, well your just getting used to the app and that's scary so I didn't want to add to that, maybe some mild teasing about best cause ya know...that's normal I guess?

Well your joke fell flat, Al. Still, I appreciate that you were not meaning to freak me out, but please thing about how things could sound in the future.

Not the 1st time a joke fell falt, probably won't be the last.

Ummm, I was trying to be considerate...
Probably spend more time with my head in the clouds than with people

sorry.

Apology accepted.

So. How long have you had the app?

Oh gosh...it's been a while now...

Since summer basically. I remember around the end of may, noticing all the colour in the city disappeared.

and a paintbrush flew me to the top of a skyscraper...

a giant paintbrush? that's unusual. wouldn't a broom have been more traditional?

Not as big as your thinking.

I wish it was flying like a broomstick! Better than holding on for dear life!

and it just flew you up to the top of a building? why?

I have no idea...

It got mad and slapped me when I tried to run away after

yeah. that's just. weird.

Yep...and things just keep being weird

But at least there are perks, occasionally.

I have magic so, I can't complain as much

And what can you do with your magic?

Fire magic!

My knife has a fire genie(Djinn if you want the proper term) living inside of it. It's a pretty portable flamethrower and make waves or walls of fire.

and fire is good for me now, my knife can absorb fire and I get energy out of it, both the magical and physical kind.

i'm just going to stop asking questions for now

[nope. this is too weird.]

Too much?

Sorry, it's a lot to take in. Do you know anyone on the app?

a little, yeah

and i think so?

Sorry, out of cuoristiy what kind of answer were you expecting when I said magic? Like pulling bunnies out of a hat?

that's good if you do. If not, well, I'm pretty sure your not a hermit crab like me, so, I'm sure you'll do fine meeting people.

No... maybe more like in the movies where you just... wave your hands and plants grow? Or the animals talk to you?

Oh, sorry I don't have that kind of magic, my older brother is a wizard with a wand that would be more of what your thinking.

If you could pick what superpower or magic to have, what would it be?

[that should be a normal get to know you question...right? He seriously didn't want to freak this girl out more than he already did]

Edited 2018-12-16 18:05 (UTC)

Hmmmmm maybe super speed? Or flight!

OH! those could be fun!
Hmmm, if you woke up tomorrow morning and found out you could fly, what would you do with it?

[Okay, so far...so good...don't...screw...this...up...]

Never be late for work or school ever. And save on gas money!

That's a good point! Wait, when WOULD you use your car?

It was new wasn't it?

When I need to transport other people or am going shopping for things I don't want to carry, obviously.
