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.

I'm halfway through the great 2020 Kevin Bacon watch. Of what I've seen so far, got to say, Tremors has been the most fun. There's been some duds, of course, and I think I can firmly say I'll never be watching Hollow Man again, but all and all? Been an enjoyable start to the year.

Anyone got a suggestion for which I should do next? No real rhyme or reason to how I've been picking my choices thus far. I've mostly been going off the cover art.

Personally? I'm eying R.I.P.D. Seems a nice tone shift after Stir of Echoes.

The TFD found a pulled alarm in today's inspection. Security footage didn't show anyone physically near the alarm when it was pulled, on any of the days so far. So they've chalked it up to malfunction of our alarm system and fined us.

That should be the end of it on their end provided this doesn't continue. But I think we all know this wasn't a malfunction.

So looking into the fire alarms we've been having, it seems someone's been remotely pulling them and we don't want to bring the Tumbleweed authorities in anymore than they already have been. We're left with a pretty short list of kids with telekinetic or magical abilities who were around for the three might have been involved in this?

Alright. So this is a quick census. How many people among us are affected by these fairy curses, particularly in a way that would impede teaching or attending classes in the traditional sense.

[info]drchakrabarti

Hello there! I'm Dr. Chakrabarti. While I'm relatively new here and it's a Sunday morning after a ridiculous event, I highly urge anyone that went to the ball yesterday to come in for an once over, even if you were not injured or otherwise affected by last night's events. You may be asymptomatic or may not realize something's off.

Also, it'll give me a chance to get to know everyone here and give me a baseline to work off, in case something in the future happens where you need a doctor in your life. I've been told that people are skittish about blood draws around here, so rest assured, I'll only be doing that and any tests only if you consent to them. You should be getting checked up yearly anyway, so you might as well get it done now. Added bonus: you get to talk to me and I absolutely think I'm hilarious company.

I'll be down at the Bureau's medical wing all day today, so feel free to call in ahead of time to see how long, short, or non-existent the queue is so you're not waiting around forever. And if you like waiting, bring a book! I recommend Crazy Rich Asians for a fun read. I devoured that and the rest of the books in its series within a week.

EDIT: So far it looks like that people have been affected by the fairies. Things we are seeing so far: Tinkerbellism (Approximately six inches tall), going giant, spewing out the truth, and transforming into animals (wolf, horse, and bird). Possibly a coma like sleep as well, still looking into those cases. Vomiting pearls when trying to speak. Intangibility. Decaying - Those of you suffering from this one, I highly recommend finding a large freezer and sitting in it immediately. Or anyone with ice powers that can cool you down. At the very least, put those ACs to use asap. Mutism.

If you believe you can assist with any of these things, please find the person afflicted on this post and offer your help.

EDIT 2: If there are any animal specialists available, we may have some people that might appreciate you looking them over. Also, any psychologists or therapists being on standby would be appreciated.

The Fire Marshall said that today's alarm was false on our end. It could be a student who pulled it, but we can't rule out an electrical problem somewhere.

Keep an eye open either way. I'll get an electrician in.

We still don't know what these invitations mean, but I'm willing to guess we'll find out what they want with thirteen souls in the next 48 hours. So we need to go over a plan beforehand.

Action Points
  • Everyone under 18 needs to go to the island tomorrow after classes. This is not negotiable. Betsy and Megan aren't joking that this could get dangerous.
  • People over 18 who are field confident and wanting to get involved, we should talk 2-3 teams of 4-6. We can use these for rapid response going forward in the event of other attacks.
  • Keep comms on, be aware of your (and your ability's) strengths and weaknesses and stay in your role. We don't need to repeat injuries that happened on the ship.

I want to start out by thanking everyone who helped out with the EPS' summer survival course. It's concluded for now, though anyone still using the EPS' childcare facilities can continue on as per normal. But I'd like to talk about the school year that's coming up.

The 2018-2019 school year will be starting on September 4, 2018.

The Ellie Phimister is a charter school in Council 7 serving grades K-12 started. We're staffed by the displaced for the displaced. We offer small class sizes and are capable of accommodating students with non-traditional educational backgrounds, little or missing schooling, or special accommodations. We are understanding of chaos caused by the portal in ways Tumbleweed High in town may not be and are fully prepared to transition our courses to other settings should the portal take us there. Additionally, we have experience working with powered individuals in a school environment and offer training in superpowered control as needed.

We offer a wide variety of coursework at the high school level, adhering to Texas Education Agency guidelines for college preparedness as well as an elementary and young child program for pre-school aged children.

This year we will be extending our young child program and providing an afterschool program in tandem with the FNRB. Our summer survival program will be converted to a more in-depth course.
Sign ups for classes are starting now.

Additionally, we're looking to replace some faculty positions: namely Computer Science, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Psychology, and in our Elementary school*.

*[OOC Note: Feel free to sign your students up for 6-8 classes. Or people for teaching. If you'd like to add a course, feel free (or ping me) so long as it's quasi-believable.]

Hey, read up if you're one of these:

  • demonic/hellish realm-connected

If you haven't noticed already, there's a hell dimension here. You might have accidentally connected with it or entered it. I suggest you don't do it intentionally. Right now, one of the factions is getting seriously pissed off at several of the others, and it might erupt. It isn't going to spill over here— they have no access— but if you go there, you could get caught up in their drama. Don't do that.

While I won't say it's actually Butterbeer, the attempt they have at the theme parks isn't half bad. I thought the pumpkin juice was far closer to my memory of home. The best food they had was easily the cornish pasties. I had three helpings of those during the one day we were at Universal. And is it sacrilege to say that I enjoyed the Jurassic Park section the most in Universal? Helena had us ride the water ride a good four times. Not that I was complaining.

As for Disney, I'm really thankful we were in Animal Kingdom the day Hollywood Studios ran into all their issues. I don't want to know how it would have went over if I had to explain why we couldn't enjoy Toy Story Land. That being said, Toy Story Land was sort of brilliant.

This, however, was my favorite part.

I have started writing a game app, utilizing smart algorithms for storytelling purposes. It only has one adventure so far, and the character builder isn't complete yet (well, it has some limited options but not as many as I'm planning on). But I was hoping for some beta players to give me constructive criticism and feedback. There's plenty I'm not locked in on yet, so you could really improve the game. It has single player only right now, but there will be ways to interact with other players down the line.

Story-wise it's space fantasy with science and magic coexisting. There's a lot of problem solving that is open to you to determine how you would like. Not just one answer. And the longer you play, the more choices you make, the more individualized it becomes. :D

Hey guys. We've lived through people coming through knowing more of the future (for Shiro, that's how many times, hmm?) as well as two sets of memory updates. Each time there's a lot that has happened, a lot that could affect all of us. Personally, I can say it was great to hear from Lance right away that we found my dad, that he was alive, and that he was okay. But it's heavy stuff, and we don't know what will come next. If our time here has been setting any pattern, it's that we may all, in time, get memories that take time to process, and we probably will not all get them at the same time.

We all get worried. We all wanna help. We all... care about each other. So I thought it may help it go better for everyone if we figure out how we want to handle it. Especially if it's something where we want some time. I don't have an ANSWER. Just the question. If it were you - getting the update, living with someone who does, someone who doesn't - what would you want? And probably, IMO, the biggest emphasis on what do people want when they get the update. Bc that's a lot to process in a moment, a night.

Also, you're all fantastic. <3_<3
