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.

Yeah, I really shouldn't be shocked anymore, but here my dumb ass is, month after month.

Hey. Coming up on a year since you were yelling at me to watch more movies and the city was under a huge dome.

Yep. My first year, remembering Superman and all that.

Feels like it's been forever.

Yeah. God.

I wish I had fucking anything better to say here. Thanks? It's been so, so weird. It's been a long-ass year and I'm still no better at being sentimental. I'm just glad you were here. You might've done more to change stuff than Retrospec did.

Me? I doubt that.
I haven't changed anything.

You remember when you took me out to the Wiffle Waffle and showed me your ring?

[actually. ha. wow, she really fucking hopes this Kara (the actual, only Kara) remembers that.]

I do.
It's the first time I think I saw you really smile.

First time you saw me cry, too.

It was the first time I realized that there was more to life than what I'd been living. You let me try on that ring and I saw... everything. I saw possibilities I didn't even know existed. I saw a future for the first time in almost a decade.

You gave me that.

I don't think I should take credit for that.

I just asked a friend to help me through something scary.

Cute how you think I'm gonna let you get away with that, Kar.

But fine. That's all it can be for you. Maybe I'm feeling metaphorical. Nostalgic and shit. It'll clear up in another few days, once I snap myself out of my yearly funk. Just know that I appreciate it, yeah?

Hey, I know, and I appreciate you too.

I haven't been the easiest to deal with, I know. What with the change in mentality.

Eh. It apparently happens. I traded in my heart for two swords. I'm not really fazed by a lot anymore.

Besides. You're still you. And you will be no matter what else happens. Wouldn't wanna trade that for anything.

I mean sure, I'm still me.

Gather that I'm more into girls than my other self, and a fuckload dumber. But I feel like the heart's the same.

Holy shit, Kar, I'm fucking dying over here. Somehow I didn't expect you to say that?

None of that bothers me, though. Only bothers me if it bothers you.

Tell me I'm pretty?
*snort*

I'm just rambling.

I mean, you are. Also pretty taken.

For real, though, I come to you with a ton of shit. You ever need anything, I'm here for you 100%.

I know, Anna.
I know I can count on you.

My life just feels sorta right, for now?

Good. You deserve it.

So the sex must be pretty good, huh?

The sex is good.
Extra good lately.

How about you, found anyone lately?

Opened the door to start banging my ex again, if that counts.

Otherwise, not really, no.

Is that good? Do you still like her that way?

Still working on whether it's good. So far signs point to yes, but we're both fucked up so who knows what'll happen if it starts up again.

I just want her to be happy.

You think you can make her happy? Even if it's just temporary?

If I think I can do anything that brings a little good into this shitshow, I have to try. And Rose is the greatest good I've ever had.

You do more that bring a little good.

I haven't forgotten October, babe.

Oh, good, I don't want anyone to forget the second farm crime I've committed.
