Some Reality Web

As far as winter destination jumps go, this one is pretty motherclucking cool. Especially considering it's the first time I've ever been out of the US. Well, not counting places that don't actually exist on earth or alternate reality New Yorks.

If you need me, I'll be busy stuffing my face with all the pad thai and tom yum I can find.

Settle an argument, ladies and gents. I am hot, am I not?

I think I should stop making mates. Maddie, Buffy, and Mal are gone. Poof. Just like that.

I'm over it.

I guess it looks really nice and magical out there.

Hi, Goodland. For those of you who haven't met me, I'm Josie Saltzman.

My sister and I have been talking about this and we wanted to do something special for all the kids in Goodland this year - not just the ones at the Villa, but the needy kids in the city, too. We think it's really important that everyone have stuff to open on Christmas or whatever holiday they celebrate, even if they don't have people here, but especially the younger people, so we've decided to organize a kind of angel tree / adopt a kid type thing for the holidays.

The way it's going to work is first that either you, as a kid, sign up to be a gift recipient OR you can sign up other people to receive gifts, too. I have a basic form ready
for you to fill out with the information we need. Gift recipients will need to be under 21, since we're focusing on the younger people for this.

Once we have our list of people who need gifts, we'll put out a call for volunteers to buy for them (or making things is cool, too!) There won't be an age limit on being a gift giver and everyone who signs up will be randomly paired with someone they'll be giving a gift, too.

Nothing too extravagant, there, because we don't want some kinds to feel bad or left out when someone gets, like, a new car compared to the smaller gifts. Yes, Tony Stark, we're looking at you. You'll just have to rein it in for this.

Okay, anyway... the form.

<b>Name</b> Name of the person getting the gift <b>Player</b> Who plays the character - this part is OOC so we don't have you giving your own characters stuff by mistake! <b>Likes</b> Things the gift recipient likes <b>Dislikes</b> Things the gift recipient doesn't like <b>Anything else?</b> any other info the gift giver should be told

Dear God. The sparkleness is...horrible. I'm a walking disco ball.

Thanksgiving is coming, Bonnie, Elena, Damon: We should do something. This is not an excuse for me to hold the baby again. I swear.

Lizze, Josie, if you girls don't have any plans, you are welcome to join us.

Um, guys?

So, I think something's wrong.

Why am I a teenage girl?


[ooc: Q looks like/woke up in Josie Saltzman's bed]

If you ever wanted to know what a blue moon is, you can look at one today. ...You should probably not look at it in the woods or parks, though.

Don't get me wrong, I'm actually genuinely excited for my first Halloween in the States (or the Goodland equivalent of the States because hey, New Yorkish?). You lot go way harder than we do.

But ALSO...Bonfire Night? I know I'm not the only one from home around here. Anyone interested in basically just burning things and eating junk food and having some drinks?

Fireworks may be harder to get a hold of, haven't really looked into it yet but apparently around here it's only your Fourth and the New Years Eve parties. Soooo we'll work on that, probably, unless maybe some of you magic doing people want to lend a girl a hand!

Asgard = fun! Neato! I really liked it. :) Pretty place. Reminded me of Krypton a little.

FRIENDS&FAM OF ELENA GILBERT [LADIES ONLY]

HEY. I hope you're all free Sunday, because Elena is VERY due to have her baby and I can't let that go without a baby shower for her!

So!! Please come to [ Restaurant here ] at 3pm and let's have fun with and for her! :)

For those of us without awesome super powers, Miss Frigga has offered to walk us to school if we don't feel safe with giant smooshing people teddy bears around!

...is it wrong that I kinda want to hug one? Just once?

Hello. The bears can be stunned and we can then use a full body bind spell on them so we don't kill make quite the mess. Granted, I am not sure where we'd put them.

My fortune cookie showed me eating a sausage and mushroom pizza from Lombardi's tonight. Kinda anticlimactic because, yeah, it's a Monday.

That's better than imminent death and mayhem or falling on my face down the stairs, so I guess I'll take it.

You know what's worse than knowing about your death?


Knowing in a time sealed vacuum bag bullshit reality where there is nothing you will be able to do about it and you'll never see your parents or do nice things with your friends ever again and then your just expected to sort of keep going right because school starts and what else are you supposed to do

The first time I was here, I'd started setting up a small center for self defense training. I stopped by the location a several days ago and somehow it's still there with most of the equipment and the supplies I'd started gathering.

My intention for the center was for those that had no or minimal past training or enhanced abilities. The focus would be on basic self defense or fighting skills plus a few tricks that can help in the field when supplies or cover are limited. This is primarily for those that would like to learn, not for general sparring or working out, but you can still drop by.

There are probably other places like this that have started up since I was last here, but I thought I'd try to get it back going again if there's interest. The plan is to start small, but if there are a handful who may be interested as instructors, let me know. The center is set up in the area of the city usually known as Hell's Kitchen.

[ new roomies ]

Um. Good morning Pancakes in the kitchen if anyone wants them.

[ mom ]

Are you still here?

Why isn't there like... a welcome committee?

I think there should be. I bet everyone would feel better if they had someone who could walk them through things and show them around and help them! I felt better when Draco and George gave me food.


I'm going to make like... uh... welcome bags.


Ms. Lagertha, can I use the oven?

My cousin, Lily, is gone. My uncle, Fred, is also gone. The shop is still here. I don't know what to do with it. I am not management material. Anyone want to run a joke shop? I'll stay on as a clerk.
