It Seems That My Departure Was Not Long Lived By Which I Mean I Have Returned To The Tower
Things Appear To Be In The Same Conditions As They Were When I Was Sent Home
Forgive Me I Have No Information On How To Return Home Or What I Did To Deserve Being Sent Home
I Have Even Less Information On Why I Have Returned
I Would Appreciate Being Filled In

Have We Found New Ways To Prepare Ourselves

Has Everyone Been As Well As They Can Be While In The Tower

[He's just going to use text in an attempt to disguise how relieved he is. Also the fact that he's currently shivering.]

Welcome back, Kanaya.

You may notice that there are various chocolates sitting around the tower. Do not eat them, as most (if not all) seem to affect the thinking of the person who consumes them, making them a danger to themselves and others. Coupled with another event which only seemed to involve certain people and lasted for one night, yes, I think this would continue the large horror-small horror pattern.

No, we have not found new ways to prepare ourselves. You would do well to find yourself a blanket or the like, though; the temperature has been dropping, and as you've probably already noticed, we seem to be in the midst of a fully developed blizzard. I imagine that such provisions will be taken quickly.

Hello
Pleasantries Would Dictate I Say That It Is Nice To Be Back But I Am Not Sure How True Of A Statement That Is So I Will Refrain From Saying It In A Non Explanatory Context

Mind Influencing Chocolates
Manipulation Of The Mind Seems To Be A Major Theme Of The Tower
Perhaps That Can Be Looked Into Although I Offer No Insights As To How
Would You Categorize The Chocolate Fiasco As A Small Or Large Horror
Or More Precisely How Much Time Do I Posses Before Something Horrible Occurs

I Will Find A Way To Keep Warm
Thank You For The Warning

Well, since the previous event seemed to be minor judging by scale and duration, and considering the amount of damage that can be caused if certain individuals consume the chocolates, I would call it a major horror. As for your second question, I cannot answer that. It may be that someone will decide to 'break the pattern', as it were, and simply send us one catastrophe after another.

You Have Contradicted Yourself
Unless You Are Calling The Chocolate Event Major And An Event Before It Minor Which Is Also Possible
But You Are Correct To Consider The Possibility That This Pattern Is Not Set In Stone
We Should Remain On Guard No Matter What Has Just Occurred

Did You Fair Well During The Last Catastrophe?

Yes, there was an event before the chocolate one that I am calling minor. It involved waking certain residents up in the middle of the night and putting them into a darkened form of the tower; each person had a candle, and if it were to go out, then some creature would arrive to presumably kill them. This lasted about three hours. Afterwards, everyone was returned to where they were before, and the tower continued as normal.

I was one of the people taken during this event, and yes, I did survive. [He was pretty sure he nearly got caught by that thing, though, but who knows. It was pitch black aside from the candles, after all.]

Im Sorry To Hear You Were Forced To Participate In Such Event But Happy To Hear About Your Survival
If The Pattern Holds True We Should Expect A Relatively Minor Event Next
Although There Is Nothing To Suggest The Pattern Will Continue
Nor Is There Anything To Suggest That It Will Not
What Do You Believe Will Happen

We may be walking into the next event already, this blizzard. For now it might be considered minor, or even not an 'event' at all. But if it goes the same way as the storm and power outage, then it may well be a chain breaker and another major problem.

[power outages are Kanaya's favorites]

Personally I Hope The Power Remains On
I Would Not Like To See The Phantoms Again
Nor Have Them Anywhere Near My Body Ever Again
Being Cold Is Not Something I Am Used To But I Can Adapt If Forced To
Hopefully Nothing Comes Of The Blizzard And It Is Just Passing Weather

Hopefully.

Good luck.

[Oh gosh, was that an actual shred of sympathy right there?! ...Yeah, no, didn't think so.]

[Concern for Kanaya? What concern for Kanaya? He hasn't been worried at ALL, nope.]

[Emotional outbursts from Ienzo? That's the day Kanaya stops caring about fashion and Vriska becomes the Nicest Troll To Ever Live. But she has gotten to know him and knows that this is pretty close to sympathy]

I Hope I Will Have No Need For The Given Luck
In Fact I Wish To Use The Proverbial Luck To Make My Current Stay Here As Uneventful As Possible

I agree. Uneventfulness is now, almost certainly, the highest form of luck. [He... kind of wants to go on, but come on, that's just childish. In the meantime, WOW are the emotional outbursts just raining down today, look at that.]

[Kanaya is the luckiest troll alive, she gets to witness ALL THIS EMOTION. Wait, dammit, she wants to save her luck for later]

Sadly Not Even Vriska Is That Lucky
While We May Hide Behind This Farce We Know Something Else Will Come

[killjoy much Kanaya?]

Yes, you're right. This is foolish.

[Killjoy party, woot.]
