I've made the decision to go home. I've thought about this long and hard but most of everyone from my world have been returned and as far as I know, everything is okay with them back home. Or is for the time being. Due to memories I had received a few months earlier, I can't really say if things are going to stay okay, and I need to be there.

Thank you to everyone who has helped me adjust in this world, and offered me their friendship. I hope going back to my world voluntarily does not mean I'll forget any memories I've made in this world.

I will be, of course, putting up Mal's farm and the livestock for sale. Can't really watch over them if I'm not here.

I already knew maintaining a farm was going to be hard work. I just didn't know for sure how much hard work it would have really been. In any case, because of that reason, my salon hasn't been getting much traffic from me to it recently, so I think I'm going to have to cut my salon hours.

Apologies if this inconveniences anyone, but I don't mind making more house calls if its necessary.

This is most likely premature but it's been sitting in the back of my mind since the disappearances. Mal's farm is left with just me as an occupant. It's still flourishing from what I saw in that room that allows us to see back in our world. For when we do eventually go back to our room, is there anyone who could offer pointers on how to run the farm on my own? Or perhaps provide some help before I'm able to get back on my own two feet? I have my husband, David, back home to help, but here, I'm completely on my own.

I know we're all stocking up on supplies, but anyone find anything particularly weird/fun yet?

I bought a package of those round glass lights from the store, but I can’t figure out how to make them work. How is it that you make them light up? I thought they would be nice to have on the porch at night.

Thank you again for the help the other day. Despite the circumstances, it was very nice to meet you both, and your friends Bee bee and Chewy. Would you be interested in visiting me at the ranch sometime? With the house so empty, it gets oddly lonely.

Pardon me, I hope this is working. I am Dolores. I arrived a few days ago and have already made my introductions to some of the folks here.

I do not know why there are suddenly so many birds, and I know everyone is worried about the sandstorms and the children going missing. It's such a shame. My parents and my cows are missing too. But I was told my home is in a different time and place and that I cannot return, so I must make do.

Unfortunately I was informed that the savings I have mean very little in the current market, and purchasing new cattle would not be so easy. But a nice lady told me that making pies was an option, so I have made a few dozen. Oddly enough, all the cans in my pantry were empty, so I had to buy what I could from the grocery.

All I have is apple. I am not sure what a fair price to ask for them are. But every penny helps. Thank you.

Okay. This is...new. And weird, yeah, definitely weird.

Apparently, my friend's house showed up with me, so I guess I've got a place to stay? So that's something.

Anyway, I'm Mal, and this was not what I was expecting today.

So I'm guessing this portal is kind of a magic thing? It feels like it would be a magic thing.

I have been pondering what it is I want to do, while here. Which makes me curious about everyone else's thoughts. What's the thing you're most proud of/glad to have done since coming here? What do you most still want to do? What can you do that you cannot at home?

I've been thinking about spring break. I know it's still a couple months away, but I really want a good spring break away from Tumbleweed. Somewhere I've never been that's really brilliant to see. I've got a TARDIS and a portal that won't let me travel to other worlds or time, so that's limiting.

I thought about Everest, but I'm not sure there's a spot to land her. Then I thought about the Mojave, and that just seemed really cool for a bit, but then it's just sand. Ideally, I'd like to DO something. I'm not really a beach person — at least not the lying on the beach, tanning sort of beaches. British skin. Tends to burn.

What's your favourite place on this planet?

Two things:
1. If you happen to be wondering how to deal with the geese after you collect them, I'm pretty sure I have a couple of recipes around to make some really good dishes for a weekend family dinner.

2. I'm going to just go ahead and announce now that I'm having a 25% off sale for anyone who books me before February 1st for makeup and hair for their lovely Valentine's Day dinner date.

Unless you're vegetarian and vehemently against and offended by people eating animals, during which I may have just shot myself in the foot for making that first announcement along with my second.

I've been getting slowly more used to food that isn't, well, protein bars.

What do people recommend? I've had cakes and those were good. And mac and cheese. Also something called a burger?

[Attached is a video of Chopper arguing in beeps with a goose. Ezra's laughing from behind the screen as Chopper starts chasing the goose but then starts yelling as Chopper starts running back towards him, the goose chasing him. The video ends when Chopper crashes into Ezra and the camera goes flying. The last image is the face of their enemy, the goose.]

Are all the geese here thieves?

I dunno how it got my alethiometer but it did and then we had to chase it. And it got all the way to this shop in town. And then I had to buy it back because somehow the goose sold it to the man inside.

If I find him again we're going to eat him.

Hello dear, have you had any water in the last hour? Please drink some more. For your health and well being. It's incredible what has happened here over the time we've worked on the portal. I have enjoyed it immensely, and you are an incredible magician to work with. It is with no harsh feelings that I wanted to let you know I will be resigning my position with the Bureau. We never know how much time we will have, and I want us all to choose carefully what we do with the gift it is. For me, the time has come that it means working elsewhere and on other magics. I wish you only the best with the portal, for I know this work is meaningful and valuable.

Filtered: FNRB Leadership
Thank you all for the work you do. It has been an honor to work with you. I am rendering my resignation, for two weeks time. Though you may always call on me during the emergencies we face as a community. Sincerely.

I know we all must think of what we want for Christmas, especially from the portal. I am tempted to request more of the wine I cannot otherwise come by here (not even piracy can help us there, Bard). But I wonder about the practice of New Year's resolutions. Has anyone begun thinking of those? Have had good ones in years past? Have kept one (and which one?).

Breq and I would like to invite you all to a holiday fundraiser dinner on December 7th, starting at 5 PM. Because we will also be opening this up to the general public, it will be hosted in the warehouse we have converted into a community center instead of on Station, located at [address].

Tickets will be sold at the door on a sliding scale, and the funds raised will go towards our efforts to provide food, safe spaces, and support in finding housing, jobs, and medical care for those without. Many foods that are considered typical holiday fare on this planet will be provided, and we would love it if anyone also wanted to bring their favorite holiday foods to share. We are still learning about all the Earth cultures, as well as all the cultures you have brought with you, and this is another very helpful way of donating to the cause.

If you're interested in volunteering your time and energy, either at the event or at other times, let myself or Breq know. We would be glad to have your help.

Belated as it is, we are having a birthday celebration for the love of my life, my dear husband, Rhy Maresh. It is, as ever, a gift to have each other here, and in that spirit everyone is invited. The only gift we ask of you is your company this Saturday, November 16th beginning at 4pm at the beautiful Playa Miramar. A portal will be set up at our residence to take you there, and you are welcome to join us by other means.

There will be food, drinks, and music as late into the night as you wish. If you would like to spend the night or two as well, let us know, and we shall arrange rooms for you.

We hope to see you there.

Let it be a lesson that honesty is most certainly not the best way to conduct a business, especially if its brand new and you have only opened a week ago. And it is dependent on not insulting women's looks, or at the very least, giving honest answers when they ask your opinion.

These faeries have ruined things before anything has even started.

I've had a good friend suggest this idea. Since this Crash Day seems to be a popular thing here and I know people love to get extra for these things...

I am offering to turn your hair and skin color into whatever you want for a discounted price. The effects would last a day or less if you wish.

This Crash Day business is truly fascinating. From how seriously they're all taking it, one would think it's a festival for a saint.

I think one of the most fascinating things about humans is that even when they feel they are utterly finished with something, it makes its way to a store where someone else may find it and use it in their own lives. The sheer persistence of the existence of humans and their creations is astounding.

Are there any qualms against the potential use of the farm as a set up for a salon? I will confine it to my bedroom so you're not having too many strangers walking through your home.

May. 21st, 2018


[info]ruination

With a ball coming up and with myself being without a job so far, I'd like to offer my services as a Grisha Tailor to the masses that will be attending.

First point I'd like to make is that by Tailor, I do not mean in terms of clothes. I work with physical attributes. I can make blemishes disappear. I can do a variety of hairstyles and add shiny to your locks. I can match your makeup perfectly to the dress you plan on wearing. I'll even give your eyes a particular tint. I can do most of this without caking your face full of foundation and primer and whatnot that the beauty salons of this world love so much.

If you're wondering about my credentials in this department, this is all I did during my life living at the palace in my world for the Queen. I was her Tailor for all the big events, having lived with her since I was five. I was a servant girl in this matter, however, so my payment was basically food and a roof over my head, but I've accumulated years of skill-honing.

The effects will be temporary, at best for several hours, so no need to worry about permanent makeup. Please reach out to me if you'd like my services.

[info]ruination

Well, I've had about two weeks of sitting still on a farm, and while I'm not used to living in less glamor and wealth just yet, I'm mostly grateful I am no longer a queen's servant to be treated as such.

Nonetheless, boredom is starting to sink in so I suppose I should be doing something to keep myself busy and making sure I'm helping the newlyweds here with their expenses. What sort of job is around here for a Grisha to blend in and not look completely out of place with apparent scars and an eyepatch with a particular talent in changing people's physical features or poisoning them?
