Spinning Compass Network

Starting January 1st, I'm going to make the monthly birthday posts. If you would like for everyone to know it is your birthday, please comment below so I can make sure that I have the full list. If you don't currently have an Earth birthday and would like one, feel free to comment and I will select some dates for you to choose from.

Also, Merry Christmas everybody.


((OOC: Here's the birthday google spread sheet because I can't remember who is still here and who was dropped. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1O0oDmXfVa1RmXeD8yR11UGWGFUlZ4rDzxYCN6LuFJN4/edit?usp=sharing ))

If anyone is alone today, or just wants more company than they have, our door will be open. Everyone is welcome, and there are plenty of kids around and people to help watch them so feel free to bring them along too.

There are snacks out all morning, a big lunch will be about 1, and there will be leftovers and desserts around until everyone goes home.

Bucky and I helped make the food so I make no promises of perfection but Mary Ellen was in charge so it won't be too bad.

You don't have to bring anything, unless there's something specific you want with your dinner.

Merry Christmas everyone.

I want to apologize because people have gotten presents for me because it's Christmas here, and I don't really have anything to give back to them other than this.

[Fake cut to a story Bill's written whilst being on the Station. He didn't fancy retyping everything out onto the phone, so there are 20 photos (or thereabouts) of neatly-typed pages. It's about a boy who sings spells and catches them in specially-made glass bottles that he blows himself, and then sells at the market, and it's not bad at all given that it's written by an eleven-year-old. It's obviously in need of a bit of editing to make the story flow a bit better and it's clunky in places, but it could be very good with a bit of work. The last page is even illustrated with a drawing of the boy at his market stall.]
