ic notes and random gab

I've volunteered to work this Halloween with the promise of the day after off. So, hopefully, I'll be pleasantly surprised with only a handful of skinned knees and twisted ankles.

Now all I need is a proper mulled cider. Anyone know a spot selling, hot preferred? Or another suggestion entirely.

I was never prone to boredom until I arrived in Preya. Is this perhaps a normal part of being homesick?

Does anyone know if there's a store that carries about thirty standard size lightbulbs? Everywhere I stopped on the way home only had a couple in stock. I'm cool with different brands or types. I just kind of need them until I can actually order a batch.

I'm trying my best to roll with the punches here, but I don't like being abducted and hauled around against my will.

I suppose a kidnapping could be a lot worse.

I've been sipping Mimosas all day.

So... am I the only one who can totally get behind the surprise resort vacation? Cause you all are kinda killing my buzz here I haven't been horseback riding in years, not since I was a kid, really. And I am all over this magic show later.

I have been ripped from my home of Everdale and taken to a land I have never known. To have this happen twice on the Ruler's behalf is unsettling, but I am not so sure that he has sensible reasons for this. I only hope that Everdale remains well during my absence.

People actually eat dinner at 6pm? Christ.

Okay, who's behind this and why? No one gives a fucking free vacation away like this without something in return. Why can't I get in touch with my brother?

Is this some fucked up version of The Bachelor or something? If anyone gives me a rose, I'm shoving it up their ass. I want answers. Now!

I found a note but I don't understand. Why am I here? I can't find Will.

I have a job for the two of you.

I haven't seen snow fall like this in ages. Who wants to have an old-fashioned snowball fight? This invitation excludes any sinister siblings who wish death and fire upon myself and Preya in general. We'll save that winter war for another century, thank you very much.

There's a beautiful pathway through the forest in Everdale and they're offering rides with horse-drawn carriages. Would you accompany me Thursday morning? I imagine roads will be cleared by then.

I'm bored. Who's got some ideas for something new and fun that I can do or learn indoors?

I already got playing videogames and watching tons of YouTube videos, and I can play a musical instrument already.

The shops are starting to fill with heart-shaped boxes of chocolates.

Describe your perfect lazy Sunday.

Preya! I have the best news.

I got my matter replicator working. It's mostly programmed for food, but if anyone wants to try foods that aren't from Earth, you can!

I know you're all pleased that it is over, but I wanted to say that most of you weren't bad as children. It was nice to have friends decent people my own age here for a while.

Not that I wish my friends from home were here. They'd probably hate it, or be killed by motor-cars.

I got a job!

From next week onward, I'll be teaching Theoretical Physics at the Abacus Institute. Who wants to sign up?

I thought I'd seen it all and then I got to the bee dating game.

I- uh... I might need some time away from games. Or visual novels at least.

변태 새끼! I didn't expect it to be this crazy! I... don't know what's the worst part of the game - human-eating bees or tearing out inner organs (and I think they grow back?)?

I need something happy after that.

Let's not do that again anytime soon.

Hello.

[Selene]

She never did look up those records.

[Constantine]

Sorry about the attitude.

So has anyone else discovered their roommates are suddenly elementary school kids again?

I am WAY out of my depth here!
