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.

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.

What's the first?

Tipped a cow. Don't worry, it stole my wallet.

You mean one of those gross cows?

Exactly, with the creepy hands. That was in, like, March? I didn't even have a sword yet.

I was so young then.

I'm still a kid by that metric then.

I don't have a sword :(

We're not measuring age in swords. Otherwise A2 was about seven thousand years old.

I already promised my third sword to someone but if you want the fourth, I can get it to you. Or, I mean, I basically only use the katana these days, if you want the clunky aesthetic disaster.

Oh no, I mean, I don't think a sword would stand up to me using it anyway? Unless it was from Krypton, I guess.

I figured swords would break on you, but I never thought about you breaking a sword by swinging it. That's fuckin' wild, Kar.

You could always test it out, I guess? I don't exactly WANT it anymore. The katana feels... nicer.

I'm strong? Can't help it if most metal is brittle.

And sure, I guess? It's kinda up to you.

Can't imagine Retrospec would be too thrilled with me if I did. Maybe I'll hang on to it.

When the fuck did I become the kind of girl with a preference in swords.

About the same time I started being able to fly.

We're a couple of weird-ass wrecks, Kara.

But I'm really glad I can weather all this with you. Some homo.

Yeah. We'll make it. We're stronger together.
