WARNINGS: Minor mentions of alcoholism and "adult" topics

( One to write home about, huh? )

I'm sorry to see that many of you had an unpleasant experience with the most recent portal nonsense, but I quite enjoyed it. It was refreshing to relive a more carefree time, and now I have new, happy memories of it.

I did miss my friends, though. How are we doing? Would anyone like to have an impromptu party this weekend? I'm thinking... beach.

May the Fourth be with you! And whoever wants to help build a lifesize lego x-wing... with me. Since we're back in town, lego party. With cake. All that's needed is a desire for fun and legos.

That includes you. Adults are welcome. Also, I bought a pair of blasters on Naboo to incorporate into... whatever we're calling it.

So, you had mentioned costume changing spells for Mamma Mia! And I was wondering if I could get your help with a last minute birthday costume fun idea. Wouldn't have thought about it except we're ACTUALLY here for my birthday.

Don't panicMy apologies to the person who had to deal with all of my questions, I'm still finding this a little hard to believe. Right now, since my parents aren't here, I'm told that I need to find a guardian.

Oh yeah, and my name's Violet.

ᴡʜᴇʀᴇ: Medical Services
ᴡᴀʀɴɪɴɢs: Minor injuries, major stupidity, enough mutual pining to choke a Grimm.

( We’ve got to stop meeting like this. )

I was successful in my 'I told you so' dance. WOW. ALSO! WOAH! QROW! YOU AND YOUR FRIEND ARE SO COOL! WOW! AND! I punched a troll. I mean, I hope it was a troll-troll and not a person-troll. Woops. But also it clawed up my arm.

[Link to her intagram] IN CASE YOU WANTED TO SEE THE VIDEO OF IT CAUSE I TOLD YA SO, MALEFICENT! I TOLD YA SOOOOOOOOOO! Thanks, Selene for filming it!

Um. But yeah. Sup, guys? Mime Jr. and I are gonna hang out for a while, but then after that, I need ice cream.

ᴡᴀʀɴɪɴɢs: They’re both so stupid. It’s so sad. Also some feels regarding past trauma and spoilers for Volume 7

( Short on time never stopped anyone before )

FORT NEILL BUREAU:

Think we've lost Barnes to the trolls. I'm not even sure who else.

Check in here if you work for the Bureau at all.

GAME NIGHT CREW

I definitely enjoyed last night. We should do it again sometime when all this Maleficent mess is over and things are hopefully more settled. Otherwise, I guess we'll just work around it.

RHY MARESH

Thanks for smoothing over that awkwardness from last night, by the way. Slight misstep.

FILTERED AWAY FROM MALEFICENT:

Bureau guards and official volunteers:

There's talk of moving kids outside of Tumbleweed, but we don't have complete data on whether or not she'd snatched anyone outside of here. Right now, I'm recommending patrols, particularly around school times. I want no one under eighteen walking to school alone. Parents, if you want a guard who has superpowers as a bodyguard, let me know. We'll assign someone.

If you're volunteering, note that I will be picking those with powers first. Maleficent has untold magical powers, and there is no telling what she's granted to the troll-like "people."

BUCKY BARNES 616:

You up for some more shifts while I get some people out on the streets? Promise not to work you to death.

ELIOT WAUGH:

Need a favor. Can you drop into Cuba and let me know if one Mistress of Evil and her troll minions are there?

ᴡʜᴏ: Clover Ebi & Qrow Branwen
ᴡʜᴀᴛ: Qrow wakes Clover up from a nightmare and they finally talk about it. For a certain definition of talking about it.
ᴡʜᴇɴ: Thursday, February 13, 2020
ᴡʜᴇʀᴇ: Their apartment
ᴡᴀʀɴɪɴɢs: More references to violence and death, discussion of trauma, idiots being idiots, and spoilers for RWBY vol. 7

( Is this real or is this in my head? )

CLOVER EBI & QROW BRANWEN; edit: ALUCARD MARESH

Clover, it was lovely to spend some time with you yesterday. I hope you enjoyed yourself.

Qrow, you were missed on the shopping expedition but I do hope you like the clothes we picked out for you. What activities do you enjoy?

Also, if you'll indulge my curiosity, which of you won that bet?

Alright, well, I know there's never the perfect time to celebrate either Galentine's or Valentine's in this world because the portal likes to DO THINGS, but I had a notion of something last year that I figured I'd try again this year.

I'm making cupcakes, and extending it for the week, because let's be real: my days are powered by caffeine and red bull and special organic cupcakes that are NOT containing me anything else when it's not on Dreamless Draught (I have to take a break from it here and there). I call them my self-love cupcakes, and yes they are sprinkled with a little magic. Basically, if there's some part of you that you hate or just don't feel very confident on, the cupcakes help with changing your feelings on it for a day. Hate your hair? Well, you believe you're having a good day. Hate the shape of your eyebrows? Dang they actually look good when you look at yourself in the mirror today!

I'm sending them out on a discounted price than what my stuff usually is. Please know that the effect is completely temporary and only lasts for some hours and does not have any addictive properties and has kind of a strawberry aftertaste. If that's not your jam, that's totally fine.

I hate everything. I just dropped my whole collection of Pokemon cards and they went EVERYWHERE and I think I damaged my favorite one!

Also my phone fell in the toilet, Kate. I didn't mean to, it just happened. Maybe you were right about the lady and threatening to punch her in her face. Can I be excused from school for forever now? I'm pretty sure my math homework accidentally catching fire was a sign.

ᴡʜᴀᴛ: Settling in, realizing nothing's settled at all
ᴡʜᴇɴ: February 10, 2020
ᴡʜᴇʀᴇ: Their apartment
ᴡᴀʀɴɪɴɢs: More references to violence and near death, traumatized people deliberately not talking about their trauma

( Whatever happens, we’re gonna do this together. )

I managed to corner one of those goblin-like creatures that have been scurrying around town, to perform a miracle on it. I told it that if it had been transformed, to return to its original form. Suddenly, it changed into a very confused woman, middle aged, wearing sweat pants. Before I could get in any words of comfort, she returned to that horrid, goblin form, kicked me in the shin and ran off!

[Friends]

What plans do you have for Friday? I'd much rather not spend it alone.

At first I was like yesssss Bernard is back. Maybe he did just wander off, no bigee.

But that is not Bernard.

YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO CHANGELING ANOTHER FAIRIES STUFF! IT'S IN THE RULE BOOK.

Hello, inhabitants of Tumbleweed. My name is Clover Ebi. My friend and I have just arrived and, despite the arcane technology, I have been informed this is the best way to reach out to the rest of you who are here. I believe 'the Displaced' was the current term used to describe us all, but please correct me if I'm wrong. I'd like the opportunity to get to know the people here better, but I understand to get information, sometimes one must give information, so let me start it off.

I hail from the kingdom of Atlas. I'm the leader of the kingdom's Ace Operatives and a huntsman. I have heard this place is different from Remnant and you do not have much need for Huntsman and Huntresses as there are no Grimm. I'm sure I can take my skills from home and apply them wherever necessary should we be here for a while. Not that there's anything to go back to for me

My friend, Qrow Branwen, is a huntsman as well. He may be a little less optimistic than the regular person, but he's really not as bad as he makes himself out to be. Don't take his words to heart. He doesn't mean half of what he says.

Please, if someone could direct me somewhere that I could find reasonably priced and well made clothing, I would appreciate it. I came with only one outfit and it is, rather unfortunately, destroyed and soaked in blood. And any tips for a new outfit for a man who wears a cloak that looks like it's been half eaten by a Grimm would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I'd like to give a thank you to the medical team for setting me straight and for whoever made those handy potions.
