I have a greater appreciation for books than I do people, I'll admit to that. They tell stories beyond just what's written on the page. The spines are like rings on freshly cut wood, and just one touch can make someone feel or learn something they didn't know, even before your eyes hit the words inside. They offer quiet solace like not many can.

After securing permission and paperwork from the DOA, I've taken over management of AZ Fell & Co. Bookshop - which was owned by an Outlander who is unfortunately no longer here. I've spent the week dusting, organizing and attempting to make sense of taking inventory of the books, and it will be officially reopened for business on Friday, June 5th. I have no desire to change it from how it was before, just to continue offering it to the people of Vallo to appreciate the eclectic mix offered on the shelves. I hope others can appreciate it as well.

From here on out, I'm making my sister Elain do any publicity for it.

I appreciate that there's both a government (?) facility and a 'welcome to the universe' video, to sort of ease someone into the idea that they've been spirited away to another dimension. Where I come from, it wasn't exactly calm and peaceful but this is a whole other thing - guess I better introduce myself, at least.

I'm Zatanna. I grew up in the circus and now I love the stage, and I turn the cards on occasion. The small person with me is Leo, he'll be three in October. On Halloween, which is pretty par the course when you're born a Constantine.

So who wants to fill me in on what this island is really like?

Hey, Powers That Be, thanks for giving me my dad's Sheriff's badge, buuuuuuuuuut couldn't you have just given me my dad instead?

If any of you are Catholics and you've been missing having a church, mine showed up in the city at [address]. It's nothing fucking fancy but they gave Parrish a place to put up with my shit for years. Just don't sit in the third pew on the right on Sundays. I've worked really hard to wear down the wood to shape to my ass.

Hello, my name is Princess Allura of Altea, and I'm very confused.

I wish I had more words, but I'm a little shaken at the moment.
