NO EXITS

Too many of those creatures means the power flickers. Means the synthetic bodies of Dahj, Data, and I flicker. Too many times, and we may lose power completely. We're lucky we haven't already.

Can everyone reply here and let me know what kind of supplies they have on hand in the dorm so we know what we're working with for the group? We're going to have to work together until this week ends if we don't want more people to die.

I've been out exploring in my astral body. For those who don't know, astral projection, in layman's terms, is separating my spirit from my material body and traveling around like a ghost, silent, invisible. For the past couple of days I've been going out further and further and I can tell you right now the situation is pretty bleak. I found some newspapers, and while I couldn't bring them back, I can sum up what I read.

Eighty nine days ago, a large meteorite came toward Earth, breaking apart in the atmosphere. In some places, like Mexico, the impact was likened to that of an atomic bomb. The attacks began immediately afterward, and spread quickly. The United States military tried to take them on, but between the aliens' impenetrable hides, their speed, and their ability to disrupt electric fields, they failed. Evidently, "large" explosions kill them, but the articles I read didn't describe how large.

The aliens have left nothing but slaughter in their wake. I haven't seen any evidence of human life so far. That doesn't mean there aren't any hiding. I've been looking for a place where we might be able to go that is safe, free from the aliens, but they're everywhere, some places having more concentrations than others. I'm still looking, but I can't astral project for extended periods of time without it being a danger to me.

Hate to say it, but considering the wards placed on Butler Hall is effective at keeping the aliens out, our best bet is to wait it out here the best we can until the end of the week.

[FILTERED TO FRIENDS OF JULIA WICKER]

Look, I know there are definitely way bigger issues to deal with this week, but has anyone else noticed Julia acting off? She's literally never this chipper. It's honestly kind of creepy It's not just me, right?

[MAGICIANS - MINUS JULIA]

Real talk, I know Jules doesn't have her shade, but she's acting real fucking weird and I don't like it. It reminds me of some of the stupid shit she got up to before she got it back. You know, like when she committed herbicide with that forest in Fillory.

[Julia]

Want to do some magic with me?

Quietly?

So. I don't know when I'll be back on campus. But! But I'm not hurt or anything.
