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.

If I ever meet the bastard though, I'm gonna full body bind him so he can't get way. Just trying getting through my magic! JUST TRY!

[He likes this guy's enthusiasm, honestly. He can't help but smile behind the feed.]

Full body bind, huh? Like..paralysis or something? Magic sure is somethin

Yeah, your legs will go ram rod straight and your arms will slam straight to your side. If you're standing, you'll fall over. Either backwards or forwards. Useful spell.

A spell that makes you plank Damn Remind me not to get on your bad side

Planking? HA! Didn't think of it that way. And honestly, that is not my worst spell. I have nastier ones.

THAT'S WHAT IT IS! 😂 Okay, say I was your worst enemy, what would you do to me? Now you've got me curious

Considering my other self only full body bound his worst enemy, I don't think I could do much worse. I know worse spells but... I mean, there is always giving someone boils, setting a snake on them, making their front teeth grow and an ungodly rate...

If I wanted to embarrass them, a tickle charm.

Ah Snakes Just like old times...

[Crow may or may not have some "fond" family memories...not even regained ones.]

Old times? Someone sick a snake on you?

Heh, my cousin. She's off in the Everglades right now, and when we were kids, she used to hold up snakes to my face and 'pop quiz' me if they were poisonous or not Her life goal was to beat an anaconda in a wrestling match She is. Probably not even five feet tall

Your cousin sounds... intense.

Heh, yeah...We don't keep in touch too often [His own fault, he never calls, the dumbass] but she's definitely left an impression with those slithery things

Well if my cousin put snakes in my face I probably would limit my interaction with them too.

Heh, surprisingly not the reason, but you can damn be sure I don't go to Florida anymore Other than. You know, the other 'charming' parts of Florida

You referring to the alligators and crocodiles?

Alligators, Crocodiles, Swamps, Hurricanes, Tourists Plenty of things

It's like you wonder why people even bother to live there with all of that going on.

RIGHT? I think it's either out of spite or just plain guts
