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.

[keystaff]

Gushy stuff? I don't think I'm that bad?

[spirithacker]

ur a girl tho

[Girls have cooties and like kisses and things.]

[keystaff]

I am. Yes. So?

[spirithacker]

arent girls all into that romance stuff

[keystaff]

Not all of us. I mean, some might be.

[spirithacker]

rly
huh

still gross tho

[keystaff]

It's how we were born though. Our parents dating and all. I know it's taking a bit to adjust to, but. It's normal. To date and like someone.

[Maybe when he was older, Shinji would date and such himself. Maybe not. But it was something natural and normal for teenagers especially to get involved in.]

[spirithacker]

i kno its normal but
parents dating is SUPER gross
sometimes they kiss? when im in the room??

[keystaff]

So?

[Not that Fai and Iwai generally let her walk in on them doing anything more than kissing, but still. Sakura, while generally not immediately considering such explicit things, does know that it happens.]

[spirithacker]

ur ok with that?!?!?!

[Shinji, meanwhile, is Shinji, and cannot conceive of being okay with parents being Gross and Mushy in his sight.]

[keystaff]

I live with Fai-san and Iwai-san. I've gotten used to it with them at least.

[spirithacker]

thats stockhome syndrome

[keystaff]

The kidnapping thing? I don't think that's it.....?

[spirithacker]

it isnt NOT it

[keystaff]

They didn't kidnap me, they adopted me, Shinji-kun.

[spirithacker]

they made u watch them being gross tho

[keystaff]

They didn't make me. They just hadn't realized I was back home yet?

[spirithacker]

i guess thats ok
but im watchin them

[They're on Thin Ice.]

[keystaff]

You're watching Fai-san and Iwai-san?

[spirithacker]

2 make sure they dont do anything bad

[He is definitely the most reliable person to look out for someone years older than him.]

[keystaff]

Like, anything illegal? Because they don't.

[And well. Anything to do with their relationship, their personal sex lives? That's on them. And not the concern of minors like Sakura or Shinji. It's something Sakura is aware of in the sense of seeing them kiss and knowing they were together romantically, but that is all she needs to figure, really.]

[spirithacker]

then they dont have anything to worry about

[Realistically, Shinji knows they're probably completely fine. But he's the stubborn type, so if he said they're gross, then they're gross and he's sticking to that.]

[keystaff]

If they were up to something, they wouldn't have been allowed to adopt us though? I don't think. And onii-chan would know.

[spirithacker]

big siblings r smart
i guess its fine
