NO EXITS

Hey, so you know how the squirrels around here seem really different than Derleths? Like tiny and brown? Kind of sickly when you remember the Derleth squirrels.


I think I found a Derleth squirrel. It was chonky and so fluffy and grey, and I swear it recognized me and Lucky. We ended up chasing it — well, Lucky did most of the chasing, and I tried to keep up — but it disappeared behind an enormous redwood tree. Which, btw? Looks so out of place here.

I own a farm. It's obviously called The Barns. Still a drop out because fuck school.

I also woke up to someone sleeping next to me [...] He's apparently my boyfriend.

Well this is... cryptic. Everyone good?

[ooc: Posted before the afternoon rehearsal for Much Ado. Before that, anybody that was looking for him wouldn't be able to find him.]

Sheesh. Can't a guy get some alone time?

Kira... everybody... thanks for your concern. I'm alright. Really. It was a little bit between a nightmare and a memory update, and while it was intense at the time, it's okay. This is what? My third update. I know how to handle it. Hell, I've been through worse situations during our weekly outings.

You'll also notice that the Cloak of Levitation also has an updated look. Cloak is doing fine, too.

I want to rethink Mobius's work.

Before, he went through data attempting to find a timeline we could anchor ourselves to. It limited when we could attempt the jump and I think may have been why we still reset. That's not mentioning the issues a majority of us had remembering who we were.

I say we make our own timeline. We still have all the research necessary, but I was looking at the metamath, and I think this could be much more feasible without the drawbacks of attempt number one.

So if those of you who worked with Mobius are willing to work with me on this, let me know.

I guess we don't need that security system anymore.

I hope someone collected some alcohol because I'm going to need a bottle. And loud music. Fuckin death metal or something.

[ETA]

Who's all going to be helping with growing crops and maintain a garden? I can get whatever seeds you want. Just tell me.

[Yen]

Let's do some magic shit.

[Julia]

That was a fucking mistake.

Okay, so Loki and I took a jog around campus this morning. Everything seems to be normal void behavior at the moment. Nothing's overly large, we both have our memories, and the magical sky the other Loki made is still out. Somehow even more serene. Kitchens are stocked as usual (even has some of the fresh veg and fruits we snagged in Los Angeles, it seems), the pool's back to the way Strange made it, and the Green is full of its interesting creatures. And the squirrels.

All in all, it's pretty nice out after the last two weeks.

Now, that's not to say that something won't happen. We all know that things have happened at various points during void weeks, so just be aware that it's possible something will happen. At this point, it's almost a guarantee.

I'd like to propose something. Some of us have been in Derleth a long time in Derleth standards. I think it's time we take Strange's idea and expand on it. Keyleth's help last week with growing the vegetables and fruit for the survivors made me think this is something we should do here. I'm going to be taking out some trees and planting some various seeds. Keyleth, I was hoping you'd be interested in helping me test to see if it'll stick around after the next reset. If it does, we can expand the area a bit for a variety of things.

On the subject of Mobius's disappearance: You all know that Mobius and Eliot were working on a way to get a stable place for us. Mobius has disappeared, but his work is still here. Anyone with science knowledge would be helpful in looking over his notes and seeing what we can do to keep that going. Stability is something we take for granted, so I'd like to get back on track with that.

And finally, I'd like to work on the campus a bit. Maybe do some repairs on buildings, like the Greenhouse. The windows are busted there, and I'd like to keep the orchids and elf weed there. Whatever needs a hot house. I'm not really a plant expert, so if you have any experience, I'd love a few volunteers.

And thirdly, if this is your first time at the "real" Derleth, welcome home.

ROSE WILSON & STEVE ROGERS:

If you're not alive again, I'm going to kill you both.

[Julia]

I'm going to try to dream tonight. Want to be in charge of watching me? Just in case something comes out that shouldn't?

Did everyone make it out of that ball okay? Who's missing?

I know I just posted a fuckin day ago, but I figured this was something important. I don't think the trees want us to go to this ball.

Is there anybody here with the skill of braiding hair?

Grandpa Rick, how can you fuck up this bad??? What the hell happened? Has anyone seen Chainsaw

I’m not dead or missing, just hanging out with Pearl.

[Noah]

This city is weird. There’s literally no magic when we step out of Derleth.

[Julia]

Where’s a good place for a barn?

I've been chasing down a ghost who called himself the Puppeteer. Keeps talking about smelling fear and loneliness. Wears all black, because of course he does, and a strange sort of mask that I can't quite place. Metal, but not like a knight's armor. Like a masquerade.

JULIA WICKER:

Seeing as Kady is possessed, I thought I'd ask you. I've figured out a few ways to dispel, and I've got a list of ghosts to track down. The problem is: if I keep going at the rate I am, I'm going to end up destroying the Green. I don't suppose you'd be interested in helping me?

does anyone around here have glitter? maybe we can win the ghosts over with glitter and we can stop doing this.

I have bottles that can suck up ghosts. First come, first serve. Watch out for the huge crabs, they will fucking try to take your arm off.

[ooc note: there are also monster crab-like things lurking around in Butler Hall.]

What exactly is stopping us from sleeping in other rooms? Because this is bullshit.

[Room 107 (Noah, Mazikeen, & Thomas)]

Okay. Who the hell are you all?

[Billy]

What room did you get moved in?

Well, I'm not sure exactly what happened last week... but I guess I'm me again. Well, minus the clothes which I were not expecting but I guess it could be worse. Derleth really likes to play "Let's turn you into someone else", doesn't it?

Filter: Ronan

Okay, the most recent thing I remember about us was trying to run away from aliens. I know you are probably physically okay by now but I just wanted to ask for sure... are you okay?

I can't believe that I've sunk this low, but

I have to

How do you make friends? Is there some sort of trick to it? A magic word or phrase? To have you have to bring something to the table to trade with? I forgot how to It was never important and I don't trust anyo

[Private to Ronan Lynch]
Okay, I had like two anxiety attacks trying to think up what to say so I'm just gonna say... Hi. How's it going? We can be friends, right?

um. hey guys. my name’s noah czerny. i’m um…new? i wanted to ask because i am still flickering sometimes cause i don’t know what’s safe or not safe to draw off of. um. i’m a ghost. does anyone mind or not mind if i can use some energy to be solid sometimes? you can cut me off if you have to and sometimes i don’t need to be formed. but i figured i should ask first.

also…uh…hi?

[Filtered against Lokians]

Okay. So, I'd just like to say...what in the Blink-182 is happening right now?

Ronan? Did I hallucinate you somehow? Are you here?

Alright so...magic is on the fritz apparently. Time to improvise. Who wants to wrangle up some aliens and lock them in a basement?

PEOPLE OF DUNWICH!
Fear not...! Cooperation will likely be met with mercy. Lay down your weapons and submit yourselves to the Supreme One, and all will be well. This is the promise we Lokians make you.

To those who decide to fight on... we have a death ray. It will hurt.

Then, it will bore a hole straight through you.

Then, you will die. Death Ray. Consider your options, Dunwich. Your planet will fall.

[Billy]

Want to go see Creature from the Black Lagoon? I'll pay.

( You alone, Murchadha? )

School's back in session, and I find myself looking for an daytime worker. Jefferson went back to college out of state, and I need someone else who can handle big animals and farm equipment. Ronan's a good kid, but I do need someone to fill dad's shoes. He can't quite stand up so much anymore

If you hear anyone looking for work, will you send them my way, please?

Alina, Ronan — I've got a basket of fruit for you to take home to your folks.

Friendly reminder, my fellow students.. homecoming is coming up soon! Hope you all have your nominees for King and Queen already!

Pretty soon, the student council is going to be meeting to discuss the next year for any and all events planned to give the senior year a hearty goodbye and a kick into the real world, so members, keep an eye out for meeting time and place for the end of this week.

Also, volleyball tryouts are coming up. Who is trying out with me??

Filter: Ronan

Did you end up coming in or watched someone break in anyway?

I am currently stranded on the sidewalk, in front of my house, which is locked up tight.

Due to a family obligation, I was supposed to miss the first week of school. these idiots I do believe my parents and extended family members saw fit to leave without me in their haste to run off to fat city. Which is totally bogus, man.

I'm going let them burn rubber and I'll break into my house.

Positives : no family gathering, my little project doesn't melt down and take this whole neighborhood with it.
Negatives : can't think of any.

I don't care to know anything about this monolith business. I'm writing to announce the library is now off limits to demons.

I'm sorry, Crowley. It had to be done.

This is the one and only time I'll do this, but I owe people pizza so I'm gonna magic some.

Yeah, unless there's an apocalypse, a Nobody, a mummy, actress, and two cyborgs around here, I'm going to pass on this whole science experiment situation you've got going on here.

What do I do with this paper airplane? Throw it at these fucks out there?

Take your shoes off. You'll thank me later.

[Julia]

You do any dream work? Dream magic?

[Gansey]

This wasn't me.

All is right with the world, Mollymauk Tealeaf is back in business! Step right up, get your cards read. First time's on the house!

If you spot a raven flying around campus, just leave her fucking be. She's mine. Her name's Chainsaw. Watch your shit because she will steal it.

[Gansey]

I fucked up.

[Julia]

How's the shoulder?

[Sweeney]

I need to get fucking blitzed.

Well, that was fun.

Not.

[Raven Reyes]
You okay? I know you're dead for the rest of the week, but. You okay?

Anyone else having fucked up dreams?

[Prince]

I don't know if I'm dreaming or if I'm awake and it's kind of fucking me up.
