ic notes and random gab

So... I wake up here at the same time people are disappearing? Is this a normal thing? Because if so I could always go back to where I came from. We had plenty of stuff like that there.

On a different note, which lucky person feels like showing the new girl around Brightford in the morning?

So, this is Ravenmoore.

And look, there's social media here as well. Joy. Somebody waved at me on the street today too, but I don't expect anybody actually knows me here, so they must have confused me with someone else. Great. So far I have more questions than answers. I should be used to this by now. Spoiler alert: I'm not.

Anyway, hi. I'm Steve. New arrival. I don't want to give away too much, but I'm reaching out. I think I read somewhere there's a Stark building here? Finding it hard to catch my bearings. If the name Thanos means anything to you, get in touch.

Looking for information re: to the end of the line. If you're the party who sent this to me, please reply privately asap. [Codename: Jerk]

Been a while since I've posted on here, but I've had a few good things happen to me since then. For one thing, I'm not living alone anymore. I have not one, but two animal companions. The first was gifted to me by the Ruler, a small puppy that seems to look very similar to the stray I used to have back in Canisbay. Probably the only good memory I have of my human life was when I was helping out that dog, like me it was the runt of the litter and the day my mother drowned it was the day I gave up on happiness.

Funnily enough, I've decided to call him Oscar.

My second companion I came across last night. I was in the backyard, letting off some steam (literally) when I heard a sad whimpering noise from over the fence. There's a small forested area not far from where I live in Ravenmoore, I'm sure other people who live there are familiar. It didn't take me long to find the source. A beautiful dog was injured and caught in a bed of thorns, it looked like its leg had been dislocated slightly. I managed to take him home and heal him up nicely, but since then he's never left my side. He looks just like my Growley used to, and strangely enough, I think he actually is part Hellhound. Not full, obviously because Hell doesn't fully exist in this place, but his eyes go red sometimes, and I'm certain that ten years could pss here and he wouldn't look a day older. But aside from the red eyes and occasional preference for rare meat he's an ordinary dog. As he looks just like my Growley, I've called him that. It's like this place brought him back for me...

It's with these string of circumstances that I've decided to go ahead with my plans. They're not diabolical, so put away the rock salt. I've decided to open up an Animal Shelter, because I'm sure there are other lost animals out there that are hurt or have been through traumatic experiences. I wouldn't be surprised if somehow animals are being sent here from different places and their displacement gives them trauma, or maybe abused animals are being sent here for better lives. I have had years training and caring for animals, I can understand what they say and calm them if they're particularly distressed. I know I took a trip down to Everdale the other day to the Infinite Sanctuary and met some of the dragons there. I even felt comfortable bringing out my own wings and I felt strangely at peace there, petting them and listening to their comforting purrs.

The shelter will most likely be in Ravenmoore, unless I decide somewhere else would be better. I'd welcome suggestions, and if anyone is interested in volunteering, let me know. It's still very much in the planning works for now, but it's something I'm going to be starting up in 2019.

I like this place. I like being alive. I'm happy here. I've... never had the opportunity to let myself be happy, but I am. I like to think all the pain that I've been through, all the injustices, all the betrayal, this is... yeah. It's good.

Thanks for the gifts. Might take you up on that offer. Sorry I didn't make it to your Christmas bash. Doing anything for New Year's Eve?

Well, I've been here a few weeks and I have to say I do see the appeal here. There's an idyllic peacefulness here that I certainly wouldn't find where I came from.

Elijah should be here.

I've lived a bloody brutal life, quite literally. Being an immortal thousand year old vampire-werewolf hybrid, you tend to make a few enemies. Being here is like a breath of fresh air, I don't need to worry about a target on my back. I'm not ashamed of what I was before I came here, I was a monster, a tyrant, a villain. I did bad things, but I did them for the sake of my family and to protect what I loved. If I had to do it again, I would. Being here is starting a new chapter of my life for them.

Not sure if I know anyone here, but my name is Klaus Mikaelson. I'm living in Brightford and I'm working as an artist. Freelance for now, I generally paint what I see, and do take requests, quite regularly you will see me on the boardwalk, but I go wherever inspiration takes me.

I came here under the impression my brother Elijah would join me, but it seems he didn't make the trip. If anyone sees him, please let me know posthaste. I'll burn this bloody place to the ground if I have to.

I know I just got here, but I find myself sympathetic to your cause. Let me know if there is anything I can do to assist. All I know is, my brother and I made an agreement to come here together and I am here on my own, so either something happened to him, or certain people of authority here withheld him.

Keep me posted.

I suppose it would be polite to finally get around to introducing myself now that I have established my office outside of Circuit Circle in Brightford. I am Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a therapist - I am willing to work with most types of trauma and mental illness, although I do not offer any kind of couples or family therapy. One on one sessions are where I find my methods work the best and I would not like to compromise anybody's treatment when that could be better fulfilled by somebody else.

That being said, if you are interested you are welcome to book a consultation session with me. My hours are 9am - 5pm and my office is open Monday - Thursday.

On another note, I am looking to establish regular ingredient suppliers for my dinner parties. I prefer to buy locally and seasonally, especially when fruits and vegetables are involved - I am planning an upcoming dinner party and I would like to offer my guests the best that Preya has to offer. If you are interested in coming, please let me know so I can issue you a more formal invite once I have a definite date set.

I miss the farm this time of year. The harvest. Finding corn husks and bits of stalk in everything for awhile. Getting ready to hunker down for the winter ahead. Not that work was ever really done. Maybe getting old is just making me nostalgic. Is it the unexpected forced retirement talking? It's gotta be.

Get sentimental and humor me. What are some of your fonder memories of home?

I know I shouldn't get too settled here, but I am actually enjoying my new job.
