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.

Either way, you know? Definitely don't have enough conviction to lead a fake cult.

Besides, can you imagine me with authority?

what, you don't think you've got what it takes to be a leader?

Ha. A2 did, but A2 is... definitely not me.

I mean, she was gay enough to be me if these memories of one of her squadmates are any indication, but that's basically where it stops.

do you want it to stop there

[ which is his way of trying to be tactful and not outright saying "yeah maybe that's for the best, because every time I've interacted with some version of A2, she's been terrible." ]

I wanted it to stop before I lost my blood, dude. I'm taking what good I can find from A2's miserable disaster trauma shitshow of a life where everyone she ever loved died from a logic virus or whatever, but there ain't a lot there. Everything else can stay with her.

[no reason to be tactful about it. A2 sucks.]

[ James has personally already given up on making any kind of distinction between Bucky and himself. There's too many people (or, identities, anyway) bouncing around in his head to keep them all separated, and the attempt at distinguishing himself from them seems futile when he unwittingly followed in Bucky's footsteps anyway. He respects anyone who actually can keep it separated. ]

good, then
screw her
