WHO: August and the app
WHERE: The app
WHEN: After Christmas
WHAT: Prophecy Power Hour
WARNINGS: August swears a lot?

[The video starts in August's workroom, as most of these do. Please ignore the mess, he got a new sewing machine and is taking the chance to clean up his shit and organize.]

So if anyone thought Christmas meant a break from the bullshit: bad news for everyone, because I have the prophecies for next month and a sign of nothing good that's not related to that shit. But first, the better shit.

[He holds up the Emperor, upright.]

This guy either means father figures--which. No--or general order and structure and shit. Next month might actually not be crazy stupid insane! Thank fuck. Otherwise we've got walking in the snow--[and here August glances outside. At the snow.]--races, and peaches for some reason? Peaches don't even grow here, the fuck.

Moving on.

[He puts his card back down and just starts playing with his deck, a nervous habit.]

So Jun's been having some issues, and we went into the Pokemon realm to test some things out and we have some bad news. We think the spirit realm may be starting to change people, outside of like. Possessions and shit. And, hilariously, I might be the best example despite this going on for me for a year because apparently it's not normal to feel comfortable in the Spirit Realm? Like going over there's just going into the grocery store levels of normal for me. Jun's never felt comfortable there, but now he does. And his shit is easier to handle over there. So.

[A beat.]

Be careful? I don't know if there's a way to make it stop this shit, but being careful and mindful of where we're at probably won't hurt.

[Oh good a post about him. Jun wants to climb under a rock right now. But instead let's totally try to ignore it. ]

Maybe we're going to get a visit from James and the Giant Peach.

[drewthetower]

[SORRY JUN but also let's be real, everyone would have known he was talking about you.]

Eh, wouldn't there be more bugs?

[restingstitchface]

I would maintain that card represents the archetypal male. One who uses observation to guide his decisions and inform his actions.

The perfect archetype for individuals needing structure in their lives, really.

[Nerd alert.]

[drewthetower]

I mean, yeah, but I'm reading the cards, not defining them.

Setting aside the larger and more worrying issue briefly: peaches are well out of season as it is. Was there specification on what kind of races, because let me tell you I'm sure as hell not equipped for running a few kilometers.

Is the new deck working out well, incidentally?

Re: un: silverrose

[drewthetower]

nope, just races. maybe in the snow?

new deck is great, that is absolutely my new business deck

(Looks like somebody is late to the Kaisou weird party right about now.)

So wait, there is going to be a lot of weirder things to come in the coming year?

[drewthetower]

Oh boy. Hey, Jamie.

[RIFP]

Dude, it's been weird for a full year already. You're just now seeing it.

[droptheious]

...Great, wonderful to know that's more widespread than originally thought. And it's been happening to you for a year? And no, it's not normal...or-or at least it wasn't for me until this month?

[No, wait, what?]

Stuff's been happening to Jun, too? Do we know how many people have been... I don't even know what to call it, infected? Maybe if we can get those numbers we can figure out how fast this is spreading. Maybe even how the spirit realm is doing this? Or at least find some common denominators.

[drewthetower]

I'm guessing it's been happening to me for a year, given the whole "half demon/demon" thing I've had going on. It's possible that, I dunno, who or whatever my dad was had some bullshit effect on me too but. Yeah.

[So.]

What's going on with Jun is his business, but other him that I've got no fucking clue.

UN: hikari-vi

[whiteshroud]

Yes, it is. Considering it happened not long after I interacted with you at the party, I do wonder if it's contagious.

father figures?
ohhhh no
no no no
can i skip next month is that an option??

[drewthetower]

yeah just stay outta the gate

text: un: trienemybest

[droptheious]

[CONCERN.]

It's okay. We'll figure out how to keep you clear of it. Like August says maybe it's as simple as avoiding the gate. But I can check ahead too, once it opens- let you know what's there?

[suzume_odori]

[Suzume has missed most of this video. That is for the best. No one needs a swearing baby. But she got like, two words, at the end, so-]

....I missed it...

[It's fine it's fine don't worry about it kiddo it's fine. There is Nothing Wrong At All Here!] Umnnn...Was it a 'Christmas' message?

[Absolutely not! Speaking of 'father figures' though, pay no attention to the invisible hands doing kiddo's hair. It probably just means January will be Extra Emperor, or something.]

[drewthetower]

No, it wasn't. It was just me telling people what to maybe expect next month.

[schrodingersghost]

Wait, it isn't normal to feel comfortable there?

[Danny had never even thought that his own comfort there was strange. ]

And what kinds of changes are we talking about?

[drewthetower]

[Oh boy.]

Apparently it isn't! Who knew, right?

[Honestly.]

Looks like mostly animal changes, mostly wolves some cats?

Video, un: Dynamight

[callmekacchan]

[Katsuki doesn't do video chat very often but he figures it might help to show his own changes. Namely a pair of red-tipped, white fox ears perched atop his head. And a matching bushy tail that won't hold still.]

Yeah. I've noticed some annoying changes, myself. I figured the being comfortable thing was just because nothing was trying to kill us for once. But you guys think it might be something else, huh?

[drewthetower]

Oh boy.

[Fun times!]

It's possible, yeah. We're not sure, but....

Text | un: Pantsonpyre

[localweirdo]

So these changes are animal characteristics, correct?

How long will it be before we have people who truly do enjoy it?

[drewthetower]

I mean if I'm also affected, it's not just animals.

[IGNORING THAT LAST PART HE IS TIRED OF THIS CONVERSATION]

[touchofcashmere]

Oh, you do prophecies? That's a neat trick!

Maybe you can help me, I'm in an awful bind.

[and currently in a bathrobe (albeit decently) but that's the least of his worries]

And what is a pokemon?

[drewthetower]

Long story, but trust me you'll know them when you see them. And I read tarot, but what's the problem?

Video; un: Opera_Ghost

[not_a_possum]

How do we know the whole 'being comfortable in the spirit realm' is a bad thing? Maybe you're just getting used to it. Like how I was uncomfortable with the fact that I suddenly had hooves and horns, but I'm kind of just used to it now.

[drewthetower]

It's not "bad", exactly, but it's not normal apparently.
