#23. Pending Adjustment to Gravity.


(Circulation: Level 2 and above only — do not affix to public boards)

To all relevant occupants, systems, and structural participants:

Please be advised that a temporary gravitational adjustment is scheduled for implementation at an unspecified time. This will occur without warning, explanation, or regard for previous trajectories.

Anticipated effects include (but are not limited to):
– Mild elevation of chairs
– Reversal of pocket contents
– Emotional looseness in confined spaces
– Inverted memory of shared events
– Dreams behaving as furniture

Affected departments:

  • Internal Orientation
  • Timekeeping and Apology
  • Object Permanence (provisional)
  • Department of Stair-Related Confidence

Recommendations:

  • Carry liquids with care.
  • Avoid making definitive statements.
  • If uncertain, remain still and observe the angle of nearby trees.
  • Refrain from correcting others' sense of direction until further notice.

FAQ (not to be distributed):

Q: How long will the adjustment last?
A: That depends on your definition of “return.”

Q: Will the floor remain reliable?
A: The floor has never made that promise.

Q: Who approved this?
A: Unclear. The signature was mostly wind.

Further updates will be issued when pressure stabilises or when consensus is reached on which way is down.

In the meantime, you are reminded:

Hold nothing too tightly.
Name only what floats back.
