NO EXITS

So I'm just going to start with everyone is fine.

Apparently I've been a dragon this whole time. If anyone has any experience with the whole transforming/shapeshifting thing, I'm still trying to figure out how to get back to elf sized again.

Also some poachers tried to kidnap Loki. He's fine. Just sleeping off whatever they drugged him with. I sort of flew us outside of town a ways on account of the screaming and calling for city guard. Very large dragons are apparently frowned upon, I guess.

So... if anyone would like to... help with that... somehow?

I'll be staying on campus for the rest of the day unless anyone needs immediate medical attention elsewhere. I can't really show my face in the city anymore now that there's a reward for I'll be in the clinic.

HUGH:

ARE THERE PEOPLE AFTER YOU? BECAUSE THERE ARE PEOPLE AFTER ME!

ELSA:

I'm really really really really and truly sorry about last night. I just found a wanted poster with Hugh and myself on it. Apparently those ladies we tried to help someone thinks we're thieves. But we aren't! At least, not intentionally! I promise you I have done nothing criminal!

TEENS:

I was wondering if you all wanting to have one last hurrah before the we leave the city? And who knows what else is Just the teens, no parents or guardians.

GERALT & YENNEFER:

I want to spend tomorrow with people my age, sort of a get to know you if I don't know them... thing. Is that alright?

I’m going to head in this afternoon. If there is anything that we haven’t gotten yet that I should look out for, please let me know.

[Mobius]

How goes the quest for magical items on your end?

[Bucky]

I picked up the lanterns, so we should have light at least until we figure out something a little easier. What else is gonna make our new home sweet home easier?

Also? I think I picked up an invisibility cloak.

[Silver, Lara, Strange]

We might not have found the ring, but I do feel that any week that we survive a sea monster is probably going to have to go down as a good week.

I have good news? That only pertains to me, but it's still good news.

I don't have the energy to explain. Nope, I'm going to suck it up.I might have picked up a ring that blocks telepathic signals. I'm not sure it's going to stand up towards - all Malkavians that have or will ever exist, but there's a chance? And shhhh. Don't tell anyone.

[CARVER]
You know, don't you? About Julia?

[ELIOT]
What'cha doing?

I have found the secret magical glen of my one-horned people. If you never see me again it’s because I’ve decided to stay and become the Unicorn King. Best wishes to you all.

I have... Valkyries. This horn I found when we were looking for the ring conjures Valkyries. I could sense there was magic, but this is not what I thought it would do. Honestly, I don't know what I thought it would do — call horses? — but this was not it.

They fucking took Sweeney. Again.

If you need me, I'll be at some pub.

I'll never look at tabletop gaming the same again. Although I definitely didn't miss sitting around for five minutes while people tried to find the rules on how to grapple. Again.

[Peter Parker]

How's it going? Have you got a handle on the talking thing? How many cats have you rescued from trees?

[Sylvie]

Not that many days left, but I'm sure we could find some people who need help around here still. If you're up for it.

JULIA

So, when and how did you lose your shade this time?

The library connection is paying off. I've managed to purchase a collection of unidentified books from someone clearing out their uncle's things and I imagine that's what I'll be going through for the rest of the week, though I'd like to take another pass through the marketplace as well. Hopefully there's something worthwhile in here, but honestly even if they're all rather mundane textbooks they'll probably be interesting enough given how different this world is to mine. If it was up to me I might well keep them all. I suppose we'll see what happens.

As it turns out, flying with wings is much more delightful than flying by dangling from a friend's magic broom. I only threw up the first time out with the wings! I think I'll miss them most of all next week.

BUCKY:

Hello, Bucky! I saw you ventured into the ruins. Are you alright? I've heard a few people say it's pretty dangerous. I was thinking about going there to try and find some items for the clinic, but maybe that's not the best idea...

ELSA:

hi
i was wondering
if you're not too busy
would you

Do you eat?

[...]

I mean ... Would you like to eat? With me, that is? Like dinner or something?

So there's a magic tattoo parlor in Kitchen Sink. Normally, tattoos would be a waste of time because of the reset, right? Except the way they work here is an enchanted needle. The needle contains the ink and creates the tattoo, you just have to attune to it and keep the needle.

If you haven't come across any magic items yet, attunement is basically a process where you meditate with the item for about an hour and the magic item bonds to you. Most items anyone can attune to, no magical talent required. So with the reset, you'll probably have to re-bond with any magic items you want to use at the start of each week, but seems like a small inconvenience.

Also? Magic tattoos apparently fully heal once they apply so no awkward itching stage. They're expensive, but if you've managed to get the money, there are some pretty cool options. You should check it out.

I'm over this shit. How are you not over this?

HOLY SHIT, GUYS, WE FUCKING MADE IT OUT

Next time someone asks if you want to go to some old abandoned ruins in the middle of fucking nowhere, say no.

Or say yeah. I mean, we all survived and got some interesting shit. But Jesus fuck, that was.... you know the phrase too close for comfort? That was damn uncomfortable.

Me and Matt are back and, wow, THAT was a fuckin' adventure. We met some undead, fought them but then didn't fight them, heard their sob story, they turned on the shady merchant who screwed them, and now he's uh - indisposed. Which means we took his shit. Like a cart full of jewels and shiny stuff - we don't need all of it so if anyone wants anything, come go through it and take some. Could be handy if we're ever someplace where we need to barter for items or pawn gems for cash.

Also I'm still a fucking bunny. Someone scratch me behind my ears.

Does anyone want some gold to buy stuff? I've got plenty to go around. I also got some random shit like a talking doll, apparently unbreakable arrows, and this alchemy jug

[Natasha]

Hey.

rar( rawr )

We can keep things from here, right? And money?

Some of what we found might be useful to other people but not us. Maybe we could find somewhere people can show what they don't need to make it easier to trade things. That way everyone doesn't have to list everything or figure out themselves what it is. Some of what I found is magic and some seems like it's just trinkets or little games.

Can we blow up Butler Hall to see if it resets to something that's less kooky?

Just kidding. It's better than having a dread monolith.

BUT STILL.

The whole tarot theme is interesting, though. Am I reading too much into how we might be placed in rooms according to the interpretation of the cards?

( Left in front of Yennefer's and Julia's door )

I know we're all prepping to go on an adventure with our new bodies and powers, but let's talk gatherings and parties while it's still quiet in my head.

The other Derleth was - hurting and fractured, and I'm not keen on seeing us go that route. During quiet weeks, we should probably go out of our way to gather at least once a week.

One | I think Hugh is interested in using the theater to its fullest.
Two | Our resident angel probably wants to go the gourmet route.
Three | I liked our board game night. Is that something we want to repeat?
Four | Fashion runway. We walk the catwalk in our best new clothes.
Five | This is where your suggestions come in.

[Silver]

I seem to recall you saying you worked with pirates. I assume that probably indicates a passing familiarity with most of the boats that might be around this world?

[Strange, Lara, Silver, & Sharon (after Silver responds to the above)]

Silver is in, let's meet down at the harbor area and see if we can charter a vessel to get out there.

Also, introductions, in case you haven't - Silver was the pirate I mentioned. Silver, Doctor Strange, and Lara Croft found the intel, so they've got the location we're heading out to.

I'd say we should grab some food before we head out. Tell me again exactly what it is we're potentially looking for?

Who wants to go into the ruins with me and look for some magic shit?


[MALACHI & CARVER]

So I found something interesting. There's a legend about a vampire hero, or anti-hero depending on the source. Apparently about 100 or so years ago Baba Yaga, or a version of her here, pissed him off and he stole her magical mortar and pestle, intending to bury it in the ruins where she'd never find it again. Except he must have done a really good job hiding it down there because he never made it back out.

The relevant part, however, is that he famously had a magic ring that allowed him to walk around during the day. It's part of how he was able to trick her in the legend.

So... let's go find his corpse and loot his shit? If we manage to hang onto any magic items we find this week it means you won't be limited by worlds we visit with a sun.

Everyone doing okay? No one stuck in a situation they need help with?

LOKI:

How's your head after all that booze as a unicorn?

SAM & BUCKY:

How much trouble you in yet?

While most of you are finding glory, treasure, I have an important quest of my own to give a new fellowship of brave, intrepid heroes.

We need alcohol and clothing.

The bar we set up in Dexter Hall has been empty or running on fumes for months now. I don't blame anyone for focusing on their own individual stashes first, but this has been our best opportunity so far to replenish our stock and keep it going for a few months.

Peaslee Theater is where we send newbies who want more than one set of clothing their first week until they can collect some things themselves. The last place I restocked on clothing was Schmigadoon, so lets see if we can find some basics here that are less turn of the century that might work for a wide variety of tastes.

Please let me know if you are interested or able to contribute.

Thank you.

I don't need sleep.

Наталья

У меня есть немного оружия и наркотиков.

Вам нужен нож, пропитанный Жнецом?

[After this occurs.]

[All of Matt's communication is voice-to-text]


Richie and I are heading out of the city tomorrow morning. Hope you end up finding those magic items you're looking for. We ought to be back by the end of the week.

We'll bring souvenirs.

From what I can tell there are several magical items I can create, potentially once a day(? will need more experimenting to figure out exactly), that could be very useful if you're planning to go into the ruins. Mostly armor improvements and a couple of utility items like boots that allow you to fly and bags of holding.
