Status report from the field teams? Same for the rescue teams. We have people out in both locations and from where I'm sitting you guys are moving pretty fast.

The layer itself isn't at a risk of collapsing just yet, but I don't really want to take a bunch of chances.

Also my office has since been taken over by Whistler's Mother and I can't get her to leave, so it looks like I'm temporarily moving. Again. Anybody else having this problem?

Report to me with anything you need. The map on my system's filling out as much as it can, but I feel like I'm missing pieces.

Keep each other posted. Oh, and heads up? Looks like tech had one more batch of testers they were going to bring in, so...if you see anybody new? Try and get them up to speed.

[ un is a cat kaomoji that i can't do on my phone so just imagine a cute cat and an icon of cream-san ]

I like that you had to start off your text with "I'm alive".

As if we were all expecting you to be dead instead.

I was a ghost all along

WoooooOOoOOoOooooo

Oh no. I knew it. I knew that the spirits would eventually invade the app...

Do you need help moving on? Or do you need a place to crash? I'm sure the ghost in my basement would like some ghostly company.

Wait, do you actually have a ghost in your basement?

[After everything it sounds like it could be legit.]

Yeah.

Her name is Granny Smith and she has a cute ghost cat with her too.

THERE CAN BE GHOST CATS

Of course there are ghost cats.

You know how your items occasionally fall over, even though you didn't touch it, your window is shut, and there's no breeze in the room? That's a ghost cat.

You got a ghost cat in your room.

But can I befriend/pet the ghost cat?

That depends.

How much do you value your image as a sane person?

I'm already a fairy so that's probably a lost cause!

Then you're perfect to befriend and pet all the ghost cats scattered throughout the city.

Take a bag of jerky and can of tuna with you. Make sure you rub it on your skin so the smell is stuck on you, then go to the darkest abandoned alleyway and wait. Put out the offerings of food and look to see if any of the trash cans or beer bottles get knocked over without any reason. If it happens, you got a ghost cat nearby. If it doesn't, you may need to sleep there overnight to show them that you're dedicated to task of knowing them.

Wow, that sounds complicated

You might need to demonstrate it for me first

Sure, but you'll need to come with me so you could see it in person.

I can come watch!

You might want to bring a sleeping bag with you and clear out your schedule because this might take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours.

What if I can only make it for the first 3 hours?

Nope, sorry. It's either 24 to 48 hours or nothing. The ghost cats will think of you as unworthy of their ghostly presence and never come to approach you if you leave so early.

Oh no! I have classes though :<

Then I guess you'll never truly know what it's like to have a ghost cat in your life... what a very sad life.

It's super sad.

Say hi to the ghost kitties for me though, okay?
