LOADING...

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.

... a cheetah? You guys got a cheetah?

[WHAT THE FUCK GROUP 3, WHY DID YOU GET ALL THE GOOD STUFF]

Did it have powers? Li-Na told me their dog Bandian could shoot water out of it's mouth like a Pikamon, but I don't know if he was just the exception.

[... also, he doesn't blame Elliot for being worried, since he's the same way, but--]

I doubt it, though. I don't know the other regions quite as well, but I don't think any of them have the same sort of resources that Respatrum does.

Yeah, my small group did. Though I don't think it had any special powers, it was just...well, everything a cheetah can do. Which was enough!

[Because you know, it was a fricking CHEETAH]

I hope you're right.

[CHEETAH POWERS]

What did you guys need the dogs and the cheetah for, anyway? Was it something to do with fixing the corruption there?

[Because Li-Na... never actually told them WHY they had the dogs, just that they did and they could use powers. Which was enviable enough, but now he's curious to what their purpose actually was.]

Not...exactly.

There was this tradition called the hunt? And in order to meet the huntsman, we had to complete it. So the dogs were our guides as we ran through these paths.

Mine was full of monsters, though the running was the worst part.

I think trying to keep up with a cheetah would making running hard for anyone.

[... Xiaolang, no, that's not what he meant!!]

What sort of monsters did you run into? A couple of us had to fight these giant rock... soot creatures, but I can't see those sort of things living in Bosuma.

[Given Bosuma is very not fiery in comparison and all...]

[Sorry Xiaolang, he takes that as someone who UNDERSTANDS]

Right? Just how in the world did they expect anyone to keep up with that?? It was rough....

Hmm...I don't remember any soot monsters. We were fighting these corrupted creatures that'd jump out of trees? Also a giant spider and...evil trees. Those sure happened.

[Oh Elliot, you're going to be SO DISAPPOINTED]

I mean, a cheetah can run up to 120 km an hour, and a normal person can only run a fraction of that, even at their fastest, so I can't see how Zee thought that could be helpful. Unless maybe you harnessed it to something, but I don't think a single cheetah is strong enough for that...

[Why are you imagining cheetah sleighs, Xiaolang, that's really weird??]

Fawkes had told me about giant woodpeckers, so I can believe the giant spiders, but... evil trees? How does that even work?

[Please don't tell him it was like the Magatus trees that one month, please--]

[Cheetah sleds...]

Yeah, exactly. There wasn't any harnesses or anything like that. We were just free running behind a cheetah. Through a monster infested forest. It was rough.

Oh, the trees were corrupted by the dark energy. So they came to life and started attacking us. It was strange, but Bosuma is a magic forest, so...can't be TOO surprised.

Once we cleared up the corruption, they acted like normal trees again.
