I think Lydia was sent home. I noticed that I hadn't seen her around the apartments or leaving from it as she normally did so I went to check the room.. empty. I'm not sure if there's any remaining people from Beacon Hills now.. but if there are, just thought you should know. I haven't watched her show lately but I hope she will be alright back home

Little less of a week now til Halloween. Anyone planning parties for it? I'd heard that Alicia and Angelina were setting one up, curious if there's others too. I could help set up decorations if needed, or getting supplies for various games. I'm due for welcome patrol shift tomorrow, but I should be free after that.

Strange.. or maybe not, it's Kansas. I had noticed some clowns now and then recently around town. I'm wondering if there's an upcoming circus or some birthday parties. But who would want a birthday clown, kinda dumb But if you see one in a purple jacket who asks if you wanna know how they got their scars or offers to show the pencil vanishing trick? Run, run far away.

Well, it's Friday. Those were some great nights out. So as was offered before, I propose one for tonight. We live in a crazy dangerous world, might as well take the time to have fun now and then I'll pay for all the drinks too. But any plans for Halloween? I have my costume. And if anyone was needing help to put up decorations or acquiring supplies, tell me and I'll help out.

It looks like I'll need to get a passport.

I was accepted.

So it looks like I had a mogwai?

He managed to feed himself after midnight and hatched out of his egg this morning as a Gremlin. He got out of my apartment.

Can someone give me a hand catching him before he tries to duplicate more?

I'm thinking we should make these nights out a weekly thing. Anyone who agrees, meet me at the gates at sundown. We'll have a fun night to remember.

[GODS.]
Time to kick things up a notch, ladies and gentlemen.

So, I heard about... big evil tomatoes? Does sound really far out there, but hey this is Lawrence. I'm usually armed anyway just in case something like that comes up. Though wouldn't expect that specifically, but anything can happen. I wonder what's next, big cabbage heads with eye lasers? Or angry spinach. Hmm. I suppose if that is the case, once the evil veggies are dealt with, looks like we're going to be dining on a nice big salad soon. Shadow is still missing, whoever took it better give it back or I'd bribe them with a briefcase of cash if I thought it would work, or do a BS threat involving nukes or something

Oh. Halloween! One of my favorite holidays. I have my costume already. Have for a year now. Mine will be Cobra Commander of the G.I. Joe sequel movie. Loved the coat he had in that, I think I'm going to keep that part for later. Hey, we should take pictures if anyone else is going as a villain. But if anyone wishes to dress up as a Roman centurion? Let me know, I have a spare authentic outfit for that which I'd be happy to loan out for the day.

Soooo, night out. Since the one Phoebe had was freaking awesome.

Phoebe babe, I demand you bring your sisters so I can finally meet them. And Aria you HAVE to come with.

We don't really put in much Vandergomery time as we probably should given it's just us here. So lets do this!

Anyone else who wants in is obvs welcome. Unless you're boring. Or one of those lame drunks who gets all emo after the third round. If you are, stay at home and reevaluate your life choices.

I was looking at the park in our community earlier, on my way back to my apartment. It got me thinking. I thought to myself as I was driving to my part of the lot, "Hey, Self, you know what would be really awesome in the park? A barbecue cookout." So... would this be something we could do on one weekend, possibly a Saturday? We could have drinks, hot dogs, ribs, hamburgers, pork chops, just basically anything we can use on a grill.

Might also be cool to have a Bonfire Night on the November day again this year too. Really enjoyed that last one. But for something sooner, could be fun to have a park cookout. Good way for all of us living here to mingle, talk, enjoy the day, and even get to know some new people as well. I'd be willing to get some of the food. I also own a grill so that whoever cooks, they would be welcome to use it if they need one. Well, if enough of us might be interested in doing this next week, or the one after.

I'm glad the Center will turn out alright, I think Kirk will be happy about that too. It's unfortunate I didn't have a chance to get to know his friend Bones.. but maybe they will return one day. Though with Kirk, another thing he was involved with here is, he was listed as inheritor to my company if I go missing for more than four months. Which shows how much high level of trust I had, it's not something I'd lightly give to just anyone But he's gone so I'll just have to find time to entrust another. I'd prefer that he came back, but we never know who the Seal will bring back or when.

He was a good friend, to me and to others he knew. I'll never forget all the help he'd given to others. That's actually how we met, joining up to sift through the first apartment's debris for survivors. He helped me when I came back in the Seal, and always able to talk to about my Cage crap I went thr

He and Rose also taught a self defense class (beginner and advanced), and Thea taught a class as well, so those will hopefully be filled again. Probably someone good at fighting skill. As to swords, I can attest that Levi is very proficient in sword combat, from my own sparring with him. I remember he also used great skill with them on a ghoul hunt we'd went on before too.

Did everyone here go to school?

Alright, folks - there's a decision that needs to be made here. With Kirk gone, that means the funding for the Youth Center is gone, too. And I don't have the money to get it off the ground since I was getting paid by Kirk. If we want to keep up the rebuild and get it back up and running again, money will be needed, because obviously I don't have the credit to be able to get a loan or anything like that.

I hate to say it. But, it looks like we've got one of those mass exodus things happening again.

Maybe we should get a list. I know it's hard. But, if we have it all in one place, we all know who's missing.

So, let me know here. So far I know the list below. But, I figure there has to be more considering some of the reactions I've seen in the last couple of hours.

Thea Queen
Skye
James Kirk
Leonard McCoy
Bonnie Bennett
Stefan Salvatore
Katie Bell
Rose Hathaway

You know, I'm really liking this new residence. Most especially the 4th floor with all the gym equipment. Now we don't have to go anywhere else for some good workout exercise. Are we really seeing spirits, why are we seeing th

Also interesting, but has anyone talked to or saw anyone they hadn't realized were here with us? Like.. anytime last week. Very recently. It's odd. Though probably not any stranger than anything we had to deal with already around here.

I know there's a war going on, but who exactly are we fighting? It seems like everyone is waiting around for something to happen

So, anyone else excited to be moving into the new complex in the gated community? I know I am. The penthouse room at the hotel is alright but it's always been temporary. I haven't actually been to or drove by the building site in a while, but I'm sure it's coming along quite nicely. Especially with a lot more protections and security measures than the previous ones, and probably a few more great features to the premises. I have a really good feeling about it this time around, so definitely looking forward to living there when it's ready.

Oh. Looks like the Seal got me a gift too. Noticed a box by the wall, a box that wasn't there before, filled with a lot of papers from home. Achievements from my time in Yale, mostly. Certificates, awards, commendation letters, thank you cards, some things from the clubs I was part of, etc. There's even a few pictures of me with my class, with few friends in the dorms, college parties, and with a teacher or two at the graduate ceremony. This really surprised me, there was so much going on here in this place that I'd forgotten about having some of this stuff from my past. Kinda also have to keep notes sometimes to remind me of things here, what with my memory of 50 years elsewhere Rather not think of that

[Not sure who's left at this point, but last time I was here that'd be Rose, McCoy, Regina, Robin, Georgina, Faith...I'm probably forgetting a few but if you've been on his filter before you're still on it! And if you're not sure, comment anyway. Chances are you probably are.

EDIT: Charming, you're on this list, FYI, even though I don't think we've talked in game much!]

I'm sorry I've been a crap friend lately. I'm sorry I pushed pretty much all of you guys away when Kenzi got taken back and just kind of retreated into this black hole. I'm just real tired of losing the people I care about. I know I should be used to it by now but I'm not, and when it's the people who I'm really close to it hurts more. And I'm just tired of all of this crap happening all the time.

I promise, though, when I get back I'm going to try and be a better friend. And you guys can hold me to that.

I think my fellow squad leader will be missing her glasses. Not sure how they showed up here.

[Filtered to Friends of Rose and Kirk]
Rose and Jim will soon be out of the country and enjoying a forced vacation. I'll pass messages along to them should you all need to get in contact with them. Or you can wait until they return. They should be home in a week.

Right. Please tell me everyone's the proper age and everything, now.

So, me and Skye are creating two different types of patrols. Skye's still organizing the Welcome Patrols. I'm organizing defence ones. To keep an eye on the graveyard, so what happened with the earthquake can't happen again. As well as the other displaced areas for security reasons.

If you're happy to take a shift for the Security Patrols let me know below. You have to have done the basic classes, for your own safety more than anything. It's best you know what you're likely to come up against,

And, I know Skye could do with more volunteers for the Welcome Committee. Which is more about greeting new arrivals, than fighting. So, the main criteria for that is being able to explain what's going on.

Alright, that was weird. Usually when a therapist tells you to embrace your inner child, I doubt they mean it literally. Still.. that was probably the best week of his life being here. I notice all my sugar sweets stuff is gone now, hadn't realized I ate that much til I went for more today. Thank you for those who spoke to him about this being safe, I know it calmed him. Err.. me. Or us, whatever. Wasn't the best time of my life at that age so a chance to get away from it or from Aunt Marion back then was nice

Umm.. okay, now another problem. Where the hell is my shadow?! It's gone. Just.. gone. I walk and should see it, but I don't. So, looks like I don't have one like some others here. So has anyone figured out the cause or how to get them back to us? Is it a Seal thing.. or Pan from that show is secretly here doing this. If it is him and he brags about not failing, he'll learn of something else that won't fail. Like my fist to his face. Bet I can get him in a sword duel, maybe Wonder what he'd think of a peanut butter brand named after him Well, whatever is causing this, hope we can fix it soon.
