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.

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...

[psykick]

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

[flametheif40]

Not as big as your thinking.

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

[psykick]

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

[flametheif40]

I have no idea...

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

[psykick]

yeah. that's just. weird.

[flametheif40]

Yep...and things just keep being weird

But at least there are perks, occasionally.

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

[psykick]

And what can you do with your magic?

[flametheif40]

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.

[psykick]

i'm just going to stop asking questions for now

[nope. this is too weird.]

[flametheif40]

Too much?

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

[psykick]

a little, yeah

and i think so?

[flametheif40]

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.

[psykick]

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

[flametheif40]

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]

[psykick]

Hmmmmm maybe super speed? Or flight!

[flametheif40]

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...]

[psykick]

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

[flametheif40]

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

It was new wasn't it?

[psykick]

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

[flametheif40]

Oh yeah...flying doesn't come with super strength...

Now that I think about it, I met a few people that could fly...
half the time they drop out of the sky or I end up falling at some point.

[psykick]

Maybe you're the one that needs a flying ability.

[flametheif40]

That would be nice, falling from the sky really sucks.

Especially when someone gave you a magic ring mid-air and your freaking out, trying to figure out how it works.

[psykick]

Yeah, I really can't say I know how that feels.

[flametheif40]

At least I pretty much sky dived now...

you ever thought of doing it?

[After many drafts, that's what he came up with, cause he in so many various ways was about to say app weirdness, and the poor girl already freaked out]
