SIBLINGS (+ NIALL)

Hi. I bought you guys gifts, but apparently they won't ship until the end of next week and I don't know if I can wait until then to show them to you. So you should let me issue some spoilers, please.

EVAN

I have a proposition for you.

Tomorrow is our first official trivia night at Roll of the Die, so should should definitely come out, if you're into that sort of thing! (Which you should be.) The theme is It's Dangerous To Go Alone: A Nintendo Quiz and I will hopefully be there to read off questions and celebrate with the victors. I don't know if my presence is a draw, but I thought I'd throw that out there. 😉

NIALL

Hi. How much do you love me?

TEXTS TO DAHLIA - sent ~7AM

-- Good morning!
-- Jun proposed last night.

FILTERED TO STELLA, ANGIE, EMBRY - after lunch

You know what's a hilarious thought? Me being a politician's wife. I mean, me being a politician's girlfriend is kind of a humorous thought on its own, but here we are.

Anyway, it turns out I'm going to be one, after some time as a politician's fiancée.

FILTERED TO TALLY

Hey, you. How are you?

I don't know about the rest of you, but I've been spending every day since Christmas snuggling the puppy my sweet and perfect fiancee got me because he knows me so damn well. :')

EVERETT

I [...] have terrible news.

It occurs to me that as of next Thursday, I will have been back in Dunhaven for a full year. That just doesn't seem possible.

ANGIE, DAHLIA, STELLA, & TALLY

Just so you guys know, since you're the ones most likely to just show up there, I'm moving out of my apartment and in with Jun. My lease ends at the end of January and I had technically renewed it, but luckily with all the issues with the heating and cooling, they couldn't do much when I said that I wouldn't be paying anything for breaking or going back on my renewal. Lua is already all moved in, but I have until the end of the month to get everything else taken care of.

Also, funny story. He asked me to move in months ago when the cooling went out the second time, but I didn't think he was serious and just went back to my apartment when it was fixed so if you're ever in a situation where you feel like you are the most clueless, you can always be assured that I would probably win that contest.

TALLY

How have you been doing? I wanted to check in, now that we're on this side of the holidays.

FRIENDS

Belated on this, but Friendsgiving? Maybe on Saturday? Unless someone else wants to host, my moms are going to be out of town over the weekend, so we could do it at their house, so long as no one tries to microwave the turkey.

Attention, everyone!

Starting tomorrow, Stella's will have a new special dish on the menu called the #fiance. It consists of spicy chicken and cheddar waffle sliders with jalapeno jam. Add a narwhal-shaped pastry on the side for a truly special meal that is both savory and sweet. And delicious, just like my man, Everett Marshall.

And a quick shout-out to one of my other favorite local haunts, The Pourhouse, where you can end your day with my favorite, the Soon-to-Be Stella Marshall, aka the jalapeno mojito. (I just made that up so you should probably just ask for a jalapeno mojito.)

❤️😍😘👰💍💒❤️🥳🎉🍾😊❤️

I am considering getting another dog.

Yes/no/how is this even a question, obviously yes. Please discuss.

FRIENDS OF CASH & JORDAN

Lest anyone forgot, Cash and Jordan's birthday is November 3rd. And despite that she's hosting that Birthoween party is a few days prior, Viola has graciously agreed for yet one more party on November 2nd to celebrate going into the birthday of the best twins. Come to her place around 7. We'll provide pizza, cake, and some alcohol and soda, but if you want anything else, feel free to bring something to pass.

Also we can probably try to aim for surprise on this, but I cannot be held accountable for Cash just uncannily knowing everything I'm thinking at any given time.

CASH

I have ideas, but I thought I might ask. What would you like for your birthday?

STELLA

Hello! How are you doing?

Good Saturday, all! There is something that I have been sitting on for a while now and am finally feeling like I can address outside of the handful of friends and family I've discussed it with!

As I'm sure it's been heard around town, Mr. Harris, the owner of Roll of the Die, is planning on retiring south to warmer weather around the turn of the new year. Initially he had been planning on simply emptying the building of stock and selling it, but I've bought all of it instead. 🙌

The shop itself will be closed for the months of November and December, with a grand reopening on January 6, 2020. I'm planning on using that time to do some renovations and restructuring inside the building, the bulk of which will be adding a functioning kitchen and seating to turn it into a gaming cafe. There will still be comics and dice and board games (oh my) among everything else nerdy and wonderful for sale as well as weekend gaming tournaments and D&D, but with the added bonus of a full menu.

This is something I've always dreamed of doing, even back when I was in culinary school in New York, so to be able to make it a reality in the town I've fallen in love with is really something special. 💖 Though much of the current staff will be staying from the sounds of it, I will be hiring on some additional people in the kitchen and for waiting tables. I'll have more information to come on that, so stay tuned~

Look at that. I was taught today how to use a filter by one of my students before class. I think that my students may or may not be planning to try to make Ms. Liang hip and cool. I'm pretty sure it's a whole movement that I'm not supposed to know about.

Anyway, now I know how to do them. (I tried to do the dog ears one, but I couldn't get it to work. Pretty sure that I shouldn't have admitted that and might have lost most of my cool credits.) Is this yeeting? Am I allowed to dab now? Some other joke about Tide pods?

Wow. I don't even have furniture yet in my apartment, but I already got mail inviting me to join this network. Way to go, City Hall. You're on top of things!

That being said, I could use some help! I haven't lived in Dunhaven for a handful of years and while I've visited, my focus was mostly on the people I was visiting. So, I'd really love to know what I've missed, like new businesses and restaurants. I already have visited Stella's and had a giant stack of waffles and while I could probably just keep that up forever, I could probably spread my money around a little bit. 😉

I suppose that's it! It's going to be a beautiful day, guys. I can feel it. I hope you get to enjoy it!

This is just a general public service announcement that we've officially entered into my favorite time of year and Stella's is about to reach peak spookiness.

EVE, NOAH, ASH

Things I would really love to do today:

1. Take a bath (with bath bomb, book, toffee, and wine, obviously)
2. 'Accidentally' run into Jace Atwater walking his dog somewhere in town so that I can pet the cutest corgi for approximately fifteen minutes
3. Sample every pastry at Sweet Nothings
4. Marry the absolute frick out of Everett Marshall
5. Buy a really cute tea towel and potholder set for Halloween (in duplicate so that Ev's house can be cute, too)
6. Get my nails done

THABISA, STELLA, MARLENE, TOBIAS, & ALEX

Hello.

I apologize if this is overstepping, but with the recent post, I just wanted to, you know, say hello. Before I met Stella, I went a long time without knowing very many people who were dreaming about the same world as me. It's such a strange and unique connection, especially since that world itself is rather difficult sometimes, so I wanted to just open the door. I've had moments where having more that understood could have been more bearable and I doubt that I'm alone in that. If anything, I just wanted to offer myself for support, if you ever do need it.

Though, I realize now that not all of you know me. My name is Evan Meadows and I'm dreaming about Inej Ghafa. I have been for just about a year now.

I would love to meet you all, but I would understand if you're not all comfortable with meeting up. If that is something that people would be interested in, though, maybe we can arrange something.

CASH

I just wanted to let you know that I sent a message to the others dreaming about the same world as us. If you want me to add you to it, I will. Otherwise I'll just let you know if anything exciting happens.

PS: It's Friday and I love you.

Hi, everyone! Another post so soon? Thanks to Naomi's brilliant idea, I'm going to put together a resource accessible to anyone dealing with the Dreams that essentially just lists who is being dreamed of and any other pertinent details you might think need to be included for others to identify that they're at least sharing dreams about the world even if they don't know the name. For example, it might look like:

Leia Organa-Solo - From Alderaan, daughter of Breha and Bail Organa
Han Solo - Made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs, from Corellia

Just leave a note here, anonymously or not, letting me know the name of who you are dreaming about and anything else you want to mention. If you want YOUR name attached to it, as well, for shared dreamers to more easily get in touch with you, let me know. Otherwise, I'll attach your Anon ID so that others can filter you anonymously!

This is totally optional, but I hope you'll consider doing it, at least anonymously!

It's that time of year, y'all. That's right. It's



If you're into this sort of thing (which you should be), every donation made during my evening streams this week will be going directly toward the Trevor Project. 💗💜💙

All right, my friends, this one can relate to the Dreams, or just your life here. Commenter's choice! Anonymously, or not anonymously, tell me what song--or songs--is stuck in your head or on repeat on your Spotify playlists. Drop a link, share lyrics, whatever you want. And feel free to provide context, or not. Anything goes. I just want to know what's currently on your soundtrack.

This came across my social media feed this morning, and I very nearly had a breakdown. That poor crow. I hope he makes it home safely.

The breakdown likely has more to do with my poor sleep over the weekend than with crows in particular, though there... does seem to be some overlap.
