[recollecters]

Happy New Years, users. I'll cut to the chase; the barrier we instilled a few months ago is decaying quickly and we're sorting through the new data as fast as we can. This barrier was originally designed to contain a rogue error. There are several of you who have taken care of this issue and from here we will handle the rest...thank you. The influx of data will help us decode our next steps. As mentioned, we've spent December tracing several magical sources that are coming up in our readings. We're doing the best we can to trace Clarence--Mr. Vanderweele, and corral the effects he's altering in the city. I believe we're ready to tear down the firewall and begin exploring further. If our information is correct, we're really breaking the boundaries of the layers we've discovered lately! It's exciting, don't you think? The only information I can offer is that we will need you to be strong no matter what happens. We believe things have changed outside of security measures we've set in place, though we will need more data to understand the best way to stabilize the city from his control. We understand if you cannot and do not wish to help, but please know we're doing everything we can. Please take care.

[This is true.]

Maybe a better way to cheer you up would be to drop by later? If you don't have plans.

[flametheif40]

I bet you'd probably get more mushy lovey dovey shit from other people.

Ah, I get that. Probably not to your extent since...I'm almost 18 now but still. Trying to get along with people without pissing them off or saying the wrong thing...can be pretty freaking hard.

Hope your adjusting well, considering.

I do have plans tonight, unfortunately! You can drop by the shop whenever you'd like, though! This week should be pretty slow, so you don't have to worry about interrupting my work or anything!

[Please hold as Togusa is repeatedly staring at the message because what.]

Holy hell, how do you even deal with all of that in your head?

And part of me wants to run a poll to see how many people have remembered the other person dying, because I'm starting to think I'm in the minority here.

[thesettingsun]

I'll try to come by tomorrow or so, then. Just in case everything gets fucked up, again, and I don't have the chance to later.

Seeing as I got married recently, I'd say I'm doing well enough.

[It's still sort of awkward to discuss with people? But married life is going okay, so.]

[scythegun]

Fair enough! Who knows what this month will bring? I'll be sure to keep an eye out for you~!

[flametheif40]

Oh gosh that must be horrible nightmare fuel...

I'm not sure which one of the monsters I would hate to see pop up the most, there was a beautiful flying mermaid and I thought "she's hot, this shouldn't be too bad...
HOLY SHIT IS THAT A TSUNAMI!?"

Or "Awwww, those are pink bunnies wearing wizard hats...
OOoohh fuck me, of course, they would turn into the Demogorgon from Stranger Things if you shoved an eyeball in the middle of it's open "face" with a shit ton of teeth"

[thesettingsun]

Likewise! You know I'm always here for you, whenever I can actually do something.

[flametheif40]

OH CONGRATS! :)

How long ago?

[thesettingsun]

Weirdly, the monsters are probably the least bad part of my memories. Some of them are even cute. They'll still try to kill you, but they're cute. I have a stuffed animal version of one.

[scythegun]

Don't go putting yourself down like that! You're capable of quite a lot, you know!

[drydrown]

Functional alcoholism, to be blunt.

You still remember yours being alive, though...? You are fortunate. I wouldn't recommend remembering dying, you feel the whole thing. Mine wasn't a terribly pleasant way to go.

Mid-November. There was a fair amount happening in the city then, but it was much less than there had been previously, so we just decided that it was as good a time as any.

[flametheif40]

Seriously? Cute monsters that DONT end up being nightmare fuel?

Granted, the only sort of cute one is the bunnies, others were like, giant elephants, army of monkies with 6 fucking red eyes splattered along it's face with some bodies being cut halfway through and never bothered to have skin...

[thesettingsun]

I know, but... I can't say 'I'm only human' when that isn't actually true, but you know what I mean.

[flametheif40]

During all the day of the dead celebrations?

Yeah, I guess that is a good time to get married as any.

Any tips for a single guy?

[thesettingsun]

[Attached: a photo of a stuffed animal version of this.]

[manufactured]

Unfortunately for any advice I may have potentially had to offer, he was the one who approached me and tended to move things along.

[scythegun]

Well, I understand the sentiment, at least!

You really don't need to worry about that sort of thing, though. You've always come through for me, even when I didn't realize there was a problem or I thought it was something I couldn't possibly overcome. Honestly, I don't know where I'd be if you hadn't been around to help me out!

So don't go underselling yourself like that, you're capable of so much and you do an excellent job looking out for your friends!

[thesettingsun]

aaaaaaaaaa I love you so much!!

[He may have really needed to hear that and not realized that until he heard it.]

UN: Supergirl

[argone]

Isn't that just the way Retrospec does shit? Tells us after the fact?

[scythegun]

[See, sometimes that's just what you need!!]

You're welcome~! ☆ I'm always here to help you out as well, whenever you need it!

[thesettingsun]

It's the same for me! I'd do anything for you, all you have to do is ask.

[scythegun]

I really do appreciate it! I'm still working on that, but I am in a much better place than I was last year, so hopefully you won't have to be too concerned about me!
