I don't need limits. I'll break them all down!

The Empress

[airgrooveofficial]

"I am Air Groove. If you are unwavering in your beliefs, your ideals will blossom. It is my role as Empress to lead by example."

I must say, I never thought that I of all people would be making an Umablr account. But, as I've been informed by the President, many other Umamusume are very active on this platform, and it is a good way to connect with their fans. Therefore, it is my duty as Empress to make sure that the younger students are not getting too rowdy, and that the reputation of Tracen Academy is upheld with the utmost discipline. That said… I have also been informed that complete rigidity may discourage participation. I will make an effort to be accommodating, within reason. /ooc: hello! as you've probably gathered this is an air groove ask blog. this is my first time making an ask blog so sorry if she's out of character ^^'

Oi. Rudolf told me to make an Umablr account. Don’t know why the fuck she decided to bother me about it, however. She should have let me play poker with Nakayama.

What's your favourite food?

I do not have a defined favourite, nor am I picky with my food. I will try anything as long as the person who made it has a genuine desire to improve. That said, however, green tea is good for decompressing after a busy day, and black tea is good for a sustained energy boost without the jitters of coffee. And, while not suitable for daily consumption, sweets are quite effective at restoring one's focus after a hard day's work.

I would suggest you be more careful. You do not want to earn the ire of others.

[theperfectrealtmoperao]

You are the other me that is here.

[thisdanceisforvittoria]

I suppose you can put it that way, but you should be more careful. There are many that are displeased with you.

[airgrooveofficial]

I received an ask like this as well, but promptly deleted it since I could not make heads or tails of the message. Through some research, I've learned that it is something called "Base64," and your message in particular reads "You have much to learn while you are here." Really, if you're going to send in an ask, you can at least make it legible...

[theperfectrealtmoperao]

How were you able to understand that?

[airgrooveofficial]

I ran it through a Base64 translator. I have asked Rudolf, and we think it might be Gitan, because umablr has been converting her posts into Base64. However, we do not know for sure.

(/ooc askdjsgajsh my last reply was my main account, sorry about that!)

I do not understand

[beastinshadows]

The ghost dislikes you.

[theperfectrealtmoperao]

What ghost?

[beastinshadows]

find out yourself

[airgrooveofficial]

Brian, if you know anything about these encoded asks that people have been getting, you should have told Rudolf or me immediately! We don't know the exact nature of these messages, and if they are malevolent, we need to report them to Director Akikawa immediately.

[airgrooveofficial]

The air was especially crisp this morning, so I took the opportunity to tend to the carnation seeds I planted to ensure they weren't being neglected during the exam rush. It seems they have fared better than some of the students. However...there are a few students who have taken the chaos of exams to cause chaos of their own. If anyone has seen Gold Ship near the equipment shed carrying about 5 neon yellow training pylons, please report it right away. I have a lot of reports to make...

[airgrooveofficial]

/ooc

hello! you might have noticed i haven't been uploading very much. that's because my semester 1 final exams are roasting me alive right now, and unfortunately among summatives and other things i don't have much time to update. however next week and onwards until june i am almost completely free so i'll be a lot more active! please wait for me until then <3

[airgrooveofficial]

About the Labyrinth, the student known as Eldritch Curse has already handled it.

She doesn't talk much, but she is a capable guardian for the labyrinth.

A "guardian?" While I'm relieved to find out the situation is under control, the idea of a single student handling an academy-wide problem like this is concerning, to say the least. Capable or not, Eldritch Curse should not have to handle this alone. Please tell her on behalf of the student council that, should she encounter any problems, to come to us right away.

[airgrooveofficial]

UPDATE:

it's come to my attention that the individual behind these posts, known as "X" or "sonic.exe" has been taken care of

my source is...spotty but she says she "ripped its head clean off"

helpful!

That is certainly...a vivid description, though I'm glad that the problem has been resolved. If that's truly the case, then I can rescind my previous warning, but you should always be careful nonetheless. Now that this is behind us, I expect everyone to return to the track with twice the focus. We have wasted enough time on digital ghosts.

[airgrooveofficial]

It has come to my attention that certain anonymous individuals are sending students asks with invitations to "play a game." Let me be clear: Do not engage, even to decline. Delete it immediately. Among the chaos currently ongoing at Tracen Academy, we cannot be certain whether this is a prank or something more malicious.

[airgrooveofficial]

Ah, Air Groove, it seems you've arrived here too. I believe you've been settling in well despite the rather chaotic circumstances?

- @quantum-conundra

Agnes Tachyon. I see you are as observant as ever, though "chaotic" is certainly one word for it. And if by 'settling in,' you mean 'cataloging the immense lack of discipline on this platform,' then yes—I have found my footing quite well. Seeing as I'm now aware of the multiple strange occurrences, I assume you have already attempted to bottle a sample for your research? Do try to keep your curiosity within the bounds of Tracen Academy's rules. Currently, we are focused on keeping students safe from the labyrinth, and we do not have the time to assign detentions for damaging school property.

[airgrooveofficial]

Announcement from the student council: The tree stump in the courtyard leads to an underground labyrinth. Please be cautious when using it, as we currently do not have a means to rescue anyone from the labyrinth.

[queenofamazonshishiama]

Alright Umablr! I decided to climb the big tree that is put up for Christmas! I'm going to make it to the top!

[victory-derived]

I'm skeptical that you could, but also intrigued that you may successfully pull it off. Do update with how it goes.

[queenofamazonshishiama]

Update: The tree is fake. It is just a metal cage with fake tree around it. It is hollow. I am disappointed.

[victory-derived]

Oh. That's unfortunate. Maybe they'll have a real tree next year? Perhaps we could make it a petition.

[airgrooveofficial]

Every year. Every year, someone tries to climb the Christmas tree we put up in the centre of the school. I was thinking it would be one of our more rowdy first-year students, but as a dorm leader, I expected better from you, Hishi Amazon! Maybe next year, I'll ask Rudolf whether we can put up a fence around it, though that wouldn't deter those determined enough to climb the tree in the first place...

[airgrooveofficial]

Air Groove, you have missed a lot. First off, there is a rift that allowed for multiple versions of some people to exist here. Lots of Digitals, two directors, two Tazuna, multiple Gold Ship, there are also multiple Opera O, and Two Rudolfs now.

Second, Gold Ship caused some sort of bullshit and made a labyrinth get pulled up under the school that has apparently been there the whole time.

Third, there have been demons. Doto got possessed twice.

Fourth, Ribbon Threnody is a jerk.

I…see. Thank you for informing me about this.

First off, I was aware of the multiple Digitals, but not of the other duplicates…Two presidents? I suppose that means that double the paperwork is being finished, but it also likely means double the…humour. I shall have to investigate which one is the “original” before the student council office’s bookshelf is nothing but pun books.

Secondly, a labyrinth under the school. Gold Ship, of course. I don’t care how many centuries it has been there, she had no right to disturb the foundation of this academy! When I find her, she is in for a very stern lecture on why it is not appropriate to summon a labyrinth underneath the school. And she can trust that’s not a mistake she’ll be making again!

Third: Demons? If Doto is being targeted, she should have come to us immediately. Luckily, we have many students at the academy who are knowledgeable about things like this. I will ask them about potential demon-purification methods, though I’m not really sure they’ll work…

And lastly, about Ribbon Threnody. The student council has had a role in her expulsion, as hate and bullying are absolutely not tolerated at Tracen Academy. Fortunately or unfortunately, both Director Akikawa and Rudolf believe that she deserves a second chance, so her re-application was accepted, but I’m keeping an eye on her.

[airgrooveofficial]

Hello Air Groove! It is good to see you! How are you?

@thisdanceisforvittoria

Hello, T. M. Opera O. I’m doing just fine, apart from the fact that I’ve been alerted to several…strange occurrences that I have missed. Clearly, I should have made an Umablr account much earlier.

[umaloverdigitan]

My apologies for the treatment you have received since your breakup. Do not worry—if we can trace these asks to a Tracen student, they will be swiftly suspended at best.

Thank you...

[airgrooveofficial]

I have already informed Rudolf, and we are underway with the process. Rest assured that the student council takes anonymous hate very seriously, they will be found sooner or later.
