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.

Uh. Yeah, it was this semester. Which professor did you have?

[there can't possibly be two professors at Recolle U that happily inflict this book on their students, right?]

Simmons. 8-11:30 on Mon/Wed/Fri. Was that your schedule too? Not gonna lie, I'll laugh if we suffered the same hell together and didn't even know it

Uh. Yeah. I had Simmons M/W/F too.

Where were you sitting?

[~~rofl did you mean 10:30-11:30? b/c 10.5 of lecture/week is waaaaaaaaaaay too long for a lit class~~]

No way In the back, tall guy with...well I had black hair back then

[~~Oh god you are absolutely right I was thinking of my graphics classes which were 3.5...IT JUST FELT THAT LONG IN LIT. RETROACTIVELY FIX THAT YES 10-11:30~~]

Ahhh Retrospec change your hair color? It changed mine too. Used to have chin-length black hair. Woke up one day with waist length green hair.

[~~3.5 hrs??? the only time i had classes that long were during mini-mesters /shudder~~]

Yeeeep. I gray'd out early in life so now I've got white hair Same style, though, so that saves a ton of time

Huh. I knew someone in my past life who had white hair.

It's lucky your hair didn't change length. I hadn't had long hair since I was a child. I had to get help styling it until I gor used to the new length.

You don't say? Maybe it's more common than I thought for strapping young men to have snowy white locks I'm surprised you didn't just cut it back...though everyone's been telling me I could just dye mine Somethin' doesn't feel right about that, though

pretty much that. it didn't feel right to cut it. and really, i kind of liked how it looked, now i'm just used to it.

Guess you could call it fate if you're into that kind of thing My eyes turned red too which...happened during my EMT class That could've gone better

that

yeah

that's kind of a bad time for that to happen

i'm really glad mine turned purple in my sleep

Yeah... glad I thought of the whole 'colour changing contacts' excuse That at least satisfied em Purple, huh? I have to say, that goes pretty well with the green hair

Oh, like ones that look like they're different colors depending what angle you look at them?

That's some quick thinking.

They do go together surprisingly well. I'm not so sure about white hair and red eyes. I think I'd have to see it in person. It's probably really striking though.

Yeeep At least it keeps me from giving a real explanation from here on out, so there's that Believe me, you probably got the better end of the deal with hair and eyes, but if you wanna see it, you'll probably bump into me on campus

And you'll be easy to spot. Not many people rocking the white hair.

Heh GUILTY AS CHARGED! What're goin for a degree in anyway? Can't be Literature with our mutual feelings on Heart of Darkness

Dance Performance! I've been studying ballet since I was little and I want to dance professionally.

Whoa, I'm already impressed I've seen dancers and it takes some S E R I O U S muscle and core training

Thanks! Yeah, it's a lot of work, but I love it.

I know the feeling When you get that stroke of inspiration, the work you put in seems worth it

When you pull of something you've been working on so hard for so long and it goes just right. It is so very satisfying.

So what inspires you?

Me? Well... I'm studying to be an EMT, guess you could say that's what's really driving me. I'm good at it, and people say I'm a pretty cool cucumber under pressure Buuuuut not gonna lie, I like fashion as a little side hobby of mine, too

Staying calm under pressure is a really good skill to have! And very necessary for an EMT.

Fashion like, finding really neat clothes to put together in an outfit, or do you mean making clothes? I have a friend in the fashion design program. He made a dress for me for a fashion show last year~

Thank you~ And the former. Usually I'm just good at throwing together things for an outfit, but I did learn how to sew up a jacket thanks to Wikihow just the other week So I'm movin' on up

So you can keep a cool head, have a sharp eye for colors and patterns, have steady hands, and look for new things to learn. That's impressive.
