I'm not allowed to go outside, but I think something is outside destroying my car.

Could I have some help please?

If I had wanted volcanic activity, I would have made my home near one. Consequently, this is not the beginning of Ragnarök; however, this dark world is enough to give one pause.

Earlier a band of Orcs decided to tromp through my property on their way to the lake for provisions. Garm, who takes his duties as guard dog serious, naturally attacked. The Orcs obliged to take their best a swing at him with swords, so I was break his neck and kill the others before they could injure him further. It was deeply satisfying. I admit before today I did not realize how greatly my strength has increased or the level of aggression I could possess. Although I'm certain my Valkyries teammates would claim otherwise.

Corpses now litter the side yard. No matter how hard I try I cannot convince Garm to abandon the one as he has dragged off under the porch to eat. This is just as well. The less I will have to bag and tag later the better.

An additional side note, I have taken an Orc sword for my own. It is crude, ugly thing, but surprisingly balanced with a good heft behind it. I will keep it handy should another band decide to stray this way. If anyone has been injured, please let me know. I will come to treat them regardless of the hour or dust.

So bored right now. Take some questions that you can feel free to answer. It's like bonding time. ;)

Well this week was fun. Not that ah mind beating up things who get in my way. That part was fun. The dark skies and ash in the air was not so fun. Once ah figured out that there were things ah could beat on and not get arrested fer, ah may have had a bit too much fun. Oops? Well, who needs orcs and stuff? Certainly not the OC. Ah'm hoping it's all over though, ah need a nap. And a few bandaids.

I suppose the only good thing about this entire situation is that I've been able to catch up with all of my coursework. Not that I was behind, but I was able to spend an appropriate amount of time on each assignment and didn't feel rushed. I realize that I'm probably one of the only people who cares quite so much about this, but it was nice not feeling like I was running out of time.

I can't imagine it's going to be easy to clean up all of this ash once this is over and I still can't quite figure out how this is possible, but I hope it doesn't become a regular occurrence.

These bloody things are like fighting Darkspawn. It's like practice.

Well, glad to see nothing's changed in this town. Volcanic ash?

I just flew back from somewhere classified, I got shot while I was there, and while I'm okay right now, I'm gonna run out of painkillers if I can't get out of the airport soonish.

Looks like I picked a bad time to come back. And I thought the fog in San Francisco was bad. I'll take that over this ash any day.
