Paradiso

You know what I've decided?

I am one smokin' hot werewolf man. I just can't help it.

I mean, who else was awesome enough to have a kid before they even got here?

No one?

Yeah, that's right.

For anyone who didn't know, Lailah and I conceived a baby a few nights ago.

We're going to give it to Arva when it's born, but I'm excited anyway.

Is there anyone else here who doesn't eat meat? I'm just curious, I mean, I'm not going to judge you if you do or anything like that. I was kind of just wondering if anyone had any recipes...because it's hard to be a vegetarian in primitive-land.

Just sayin'.

I have to ask, this is just too good a chance to pass up

I've done a fair bit of research on the beliefs and legends of native cultures in regards to shapeshifters. If you consider a doctoral dissertation a fair bit of research I was just wonderin' if any of you from different worlds and different times had any stories you'd like to share.

I'd be fascinated to hear them.

I stopped by the community center this morning to make some coffee and discovered another bounty from the gods. Apparently they want us to have some leisure activities because there were a number of books and board games.

We'll probably need to build some additional shelves in the center to store them. Right now, they're on the tables. I know that a few people were working on cabinets and shelves already, but I'm not sure if there is storage space for the new things.

So if you worked on the sewers with us then you might have seen me trying to get the force to successful lift things and move them into place. It took some trail and error but I think I've managed to get it worked out.

So. If people need help moving things, especially heavy things or things that need to go up high let me know and I'd be happy to assist.

Hey, Paradiso! This place really is what Arva said it would be, isn't it?

I'm Jess. Anyone want to show me around?

Scott! So I've been thinking of names for our daughter.

These are my top ten:

Terpsikhore - it's the name of a muse, and it means 'Enjoying the dance.'
Ianthe - it means 'violet.'
Kalligeneia - it means 'beauty born'
Kharis - meaning kindness
Pherenike - meaning 'bringer of victory'
Euterpe - meaning 'delight'
Glykeria - meaning 'sweet'
Tryphania - meaning 'glory of god'
Tryphosa - meaning 'soft'
Spyridoula - meaning 'spirit

Which one do you like best?
