It appears that a most inconvenient situation planet-side is in progress. I trust that everyone is obeying whatever safety precautions have been ordered to keep the general populace safe.

Note: now amended to emphasize the general civilian populace, so that the perimeters of my statement are clearer.

My car broke down earlier this week, and it has been a very unfortunate state of affairs since. Taxis are quite expensive. I am hoping for only a day or two more of this before getting it back.

I do not know about all these things going on, and how safe it is or isn't, but my job seems to think that it isn't a state of emergency enough to close for the time being.

I expect if anyone needed insurance of any kind, it would be now.



Note to self:
Jim,
The next time your check engine light comes on, actually check the engine. Cars should never be on fire.

It is so hard to just sit here and twiddle my thumbs, when all I want to do is grab Needle and go out there to fight. But I know that I'd probably just get myself killed since I still don't know how to use my sword properly. So I guess I just have to sit here and blow up my friends' phones to constantly make sure they're alright.

I am here, and I know terrible things are happening but God, and we the people, shall prevail.

My program will not transmit as normal as I cannot currently leave the house, but I won't stop. I will be hosting an online radio show on the Absolute Truth Ministries website from right here with my family, and I will talk about what's happening, I will take calls through the number on the site, and I will keep talking until God commands me not to.

Be brave, my friends. A violent and evil time is the only time to be brave.

It could be worse. There could be spiders with health bars.

Managed to pin two of those bastards down on my lawn with a car. Rather elegant solution, you ask me.

Daisy? Everyone out there on the network holding up all right? Daisy please be all right.

Days like this remind me of only the darkest of dreams. My name's Big Mac, or so everyone calls me.

If anyone ends up in Northern Irvine, or anywhere, really, and needs a place to go, come here. [Address] It's the Jackson family orchard, and it's defended, and safe, for the time being. You'll be welcome, with food and shelter to keep you until this madness is over.

At least it wasn't my fault the wedding went up in flames this time? It's going to come out anyway so I might as well tell everyone that the dragons that attacked the cruiseliner last month were mine. They were just trying to protect me, but we've since had a very nice conversation and they understand a little better what they can and can not do. That being said I'll be riding Drogon to Vegas. Maybe we can help instead of hurt this time.

Anyone really, really good with applied physics, synthetic beings and energy mechanics?

Between graduation and my birthday and Elijah, I've been a little tied up lately. I nearly forgot I had this thing, in fact. I've also been looking for a JOB, because no way am I wasting my time with college. High school was bad enough.

So, catch me up, Valarnet. What have I missed in the last few weeks?

The morgue at the hospital is closed until.. uh further notice.

You know though, it's all kind of fascinating. I wonder what's making them get up and go. In a purely scientific way, I mean.

Not that I am going to get a zombie to experiment on. Nope.

Things are going to hell in Vegas, Orange County's being insane as usual, and my dreams are back. Tons of fun all around. And just because it's not crazy enough, let's top it off with my boss wanting me to head back to the UK to oversee a big project that the main office is handling. I don't leave until the 11th, but it's going to mean being away from home for at least 3 weeks. Thankfully he's flying me 1st class on Virgin and Janet's coming along for the ride since they're pretty pet friendly.

In the mean time though, I feel like I should be buying up ammo in bulk! Looks like all that practice I've put in on firing ranges over the years is going to finally pay off.

I've decided to accept the job offer from my uncle and stay in the area, though judging by what I can see out my window, I'm not sure I didn't make the decision too soon.

At least things are far from boring.

I don't care that singing La Marseillaises behind my barricade does nothing to actually combat the problem. It's making me a hell of a lot better.

That being said, if they try to take my little flag I might actually have to kill something.

I've been advised that it's too dangerous for me to go home, so I'm stuck at my restaurant. However, Laguna Beach seems relatively calm. If you are near there and have no food at home, come to Arirang at [address]. For the next few days, it's on the house.

My dad's been watching the news about what's happening out in Los Vegas. It's pretty insane stuff! Mom wants to lock us all up in the house so we don't run into any of those weird things, but so far she's not following through on it. On the plus side, it means I'm going to be getting all of my own archery gear! I've been taking lessons with Roy up at Talon Ridge and it's been awesome! I've still got lots of practice to do before I get better, but at least now I'm hitting the target most of the time.

To all my friends:
I know we're all scattered around because of summer vacation, but stay safe. Okay guys? California's a lots more crazy than I expected!

This is getting quite ridiculous.

First I dream I'm a lizard woman, then the world starts going insane.

If anyone needs me, I shall be in my house. The number to hire me to investigate remains the same.

I don't know where the hell those things came from or what's going on with that mess in Vegas, but they're toast. I might not be that great with this wand yet, but I'm fantastic at blowing stuff up with it! Including those little monster things that are running around. All I can say is that they'd better not even try to destroy my house because I just finally finished moving in

Well, this has been... interesting. I haven't seen any of the zombie things myself, but I barricaded my family inside our house when I read the first few posts on the net. I've never believed in the supernatural or anything like that before, but I'm not taking my chances. Not when I have my mom and Katie to take care of.

Problem is, my parents are separated and therefore don't live together, and I haven't heard from my dad yet. I want to go find him and make sure he's alright, but I don't have any kind of combat training or anything. I think I heard something about the real bad stuff moving to Vegas, so can anyone tell me if that's true? And if it's not, is anyone willing to escort a girl from Santa Ana to Dana Point? I'd be willing to learn how to shoot a gun or something, so I wouldn't be totally useless. I just have to make sure my dad's okay.

I had a dream last night that you had a crush on me, Stiles. It was the funniest thing. And I was dating this guy exclusively. It was really weird. I've never seen him before. I guess he was good looking, but he doesn't do it for me.

Oh and I got this really hot girl to be friends with me. I wish she was around.

Wow, I guess my family picked a really good time to want to do the whole bonding thing. Um, I really hope everyone back home is staying safe. Especially my friends.

Uh, Dana? Hope you, Katie and your mom are all doing okay. Keep me updated, alright?

That goes for you too, Jules. And Holden. I want to know everyone's alright. And hey, let's say we all go on a camping trip when I get back? That could be fun. And a way to forget about all this crazy shit.

Going out to do something incredibly reckless and dangerous. And stupid of course.

Don't worry, I've got my taser. There's things out there to kick in the face, right? Zombies? Maybe I'll bring a shovel too.

I knew there was a reason that I really try not to watch the news -- nothing but depressing things. I can't believe what's going on around here. Aliens? I feel like I'm in the latest summer blockbuster and I wish I could pinch myself and wake up from it. I also wish I could do something more than just hiding out in my apartment. Does anyone need help with anything at all? Is it safe to travel around this area?

If I can't get out of this apartment then my drum set is probably going to be dug out just to give me something to do. I hate feeling useless.

Forty just doesn't seem as devastating when it happens during an alien-zombie invasion. So there's that, anyway.

So, if anyone was wondering, Disneyland is closed until we are alien free. Guess this gives me time for my sun burn to go away. It's not as bad as it was the other day and my skin isn't hot enough to melt ice cubes anymore, but I'm still pretty red. With everything going on outside, I'm very happy that Huck stocked up on ice cream the other day, because I wouldn't want to go out in this chaos right now.
