JOURNAL ENTRY
ELOISE

Eloise? Are you still in Vallo, or did you drop into what's apparently Vallo of the Past, too? Are you safe?

SIMON

It seems the powers that be have decided that I am fated to travel worlds and universes and times. Honestly, I would have pegged my dear brother, Colin, had I realized this was even remotely a possibility, but here we are. I'm here, wherever here actually is, and I am safe at the moment. I landed near a village with Cassandra de Rolo and we managed to find clothes, food, and a weapon for her so that we can settle in and hopefully blend in, as well.

I just [...] thought you might want to know where I am. Please don't worry too much. I survived Dark Vallo, and I will undoubtedly survive this, too.

	Where are you? Are you not here anymore? I'm in the flat! I'm fine - are you all right? How can I help you? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Eloise \| Daphne incomparable 2021-05-02 02:07 am UTC (link)
	No, I blinked and suddenly I was in the forest with Cassandra. We found a village nearby but it's definitely not the Vallo we know. It's not Dark Vallo, either. I'm okay at the moment, though. We're looking for shelter and others we recognize. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eloise \| Daphne missbridgerton 2021-05-02 10:47 pm UTC (link)
	Oh no! I saw that people had disappeared and - well, I'm very glad that we are still able to communicate, even though I don't understand how we are at all! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eloise \| Daphne incomparable 2021-05-04 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	That is a good difference between Dark Vallo and here, at least? So maybe there will be a much quicker solution to this predicament than there was for the last one. I don't really fancy being here for two months. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eloise \| Daphne missbridgerton 2021-05-05 04:46 pm UTC (link)
	I don't want you to be there for two months either! I'm sure the Defense Teams are working on it though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eloise \| Daphne incomparable 2021-05-06 12:35 am UTC (link)
	I'm absolutely sure they are. And we're all right at the moment, so I don't want you to worry too much. And actually [...] would you mind just stopping by to check on Simon for me? Just to make sure he's okay. Make sure he eats something other than oatmeal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Eloise \| Daphne missbridgerton 2021-05-06 12:56 pm UTC (link)
	I'll try not to worry but I'm certain I'll still be fretting over it until you get back! Oh - er, all right. Maybe the Duke enjoys pizza? I could take him some pizza. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eloise \| Daphne incomparable 2021-05-06 12:59 pm UTC (link)
	I appreciate that you worry for me, but I promise that I'll be all right and that I'll make my way back to you as soon as is possible. You know, I think the Duke would love some pizza. Thank you for doing it. I suppose, despite how complicated things are right now, I worry as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eloise \| Daphne missbridgerton 2021-05-06 01:02 pm UTC (link)
	You said you're right other people, yes? You're not alone? Hmn, I wonder what he likes on his pizza ... you're welcome. I certainly never pass up an opportunity for pizza! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eloise \| Daphne incomparable 2021-05-06 01:06 pm UTC (link)
	Yes! I'm with Cassandra de Rolo and we're meeting up with Essek and Verin Thelyss. Verin is military and Essek possesses advanced magic skills, and Cassandra is a fighter, too. So between all of us, we should be mostly fine I would think. You should introduce him to pineapple on pizza, ha. Or pick up what you like! I'm sure he'll like whatever you get. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eloise \| Daphne missbridgerton 2021-05-06 01:11 pm UTC (link)
	Oh good, that makes me feel so much better. And I hate to admit it, but I'm glad I'm not there with you this time? Sorry! And all right. I will get a few things. ~~I'm sure we won't have anything to talk about though~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eloise \| Daphne incomparable 2021-05-06 01:20 pm UTC (link)
	If the circumstances were different, I think you'd find much to appreciate here. It's like walking through a living history book. It's beautiful when it's not confusing and more than a bit unnerving. I think I'd like to have some pizza myself right about now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eloise \| Daphne missbridgerton 2021-05-06 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	I do enjoy an adventure like that but - I just don't like you being there all alone! Well, not all alone, but you know. I've just ordered it and will surprise the Duke with it shortly! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eloise \| Daphne incomparable 2021-05-07 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	I know what you mean. I don't like that we are separated, but I am glad that neither of us is entirely alone where we are right now. I very much appreciate it! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eloise \| Daphne missbridgerton 2021-05-10 10:53 pm UTC (link)
	Of course, anything for you, sister! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	DAPHNE \| SIMON burnforyou 2021-05-03 09:01 pm UTC (link)
	While I appreciate the request that I not worry too much, there is not a chance in hell. While I know you are more than capable, and not alone, I'll continue to worry until you're back here safely. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	DAPHNE \| SIMON incomparable 2021-05-04 09:51 pm UTC (link)
	You're welcome to worry a reasonable amount, but don't lose sleep over it at the very least. There is seemingly little we can do about the circumstance at this point. It looks like I have to revert back to wearing dresses, though. For as much as I love the occasional dress, it's honestly a shame. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	DAPHNE \| SIMON burnforyou 2021-05-07 02:55 am UTC (link)
	If I may make a small request. Will you please continue to check in with me here? Just before you go to bed in the evening so that I know you're still safe? That is a shame. You look quite fetching in trousers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	DAPHNE \| SIMON incomparable 2021-05-07 11:17 pm UTC (link)
	I will do my very best. At this point, it shouldn't be a problem, but I will check in as often as I can at the very least. I could not tell by the way your jaw dropped the first time you saw me in them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	DAPHNE \| SIMON burnforyou 2021-05-08 01:23 pm UTC (link)
	Which I'm sure was at least a part of your reason for choosing to wear them that day. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	DAPHNE \| SIMON incomparable 2021-05-14 12:34 am UTC (link)
	Was I that transparent? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	DAPHNE \| SIMON burnforyou 2021-05-14 02:17 pm UTC (link)
	I like to think I'm just getting better at understanding you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	DAPHNE \| SIMON incomparable 2021-05-14 02:21 pm UTC (link)
	Here, or back home? Because it seems we're still not quite that good at understanding one another back there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	DAPHNE \| SIMON burnforyou 2021-05-14 02:26 pm UTC (link)
	As I learned the hard way, the key to understanding you is actually talking to you, rather than assuming things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	DAPHNE \| SIMON incomparable 2021-05-14 04:27 pm UTC (link)
	Fancy that. In all fairness, though, we're both terribly unyielding. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	DAPHNE \| SIMON burnforyou 2021-05-14 04:41 pm UTC (link)
	See? We're doing quite well at understanding one another better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	DAPHNE \| SIMON incomparable 2021-05-14 04:44 pm UTC (link)
	I believe they call this "character growth." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	DAPHNE \| SIMON burnforyou 2021-05-14 04:47 pm UTC (link)
	And it only took us being hurtled into a completely different world. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	DAPHNE \| SIMON incomparable 2021-05-14 04:50 pm UTC (link)
	[...] Do you think we'll figure it out back home, too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	DAPHNE \| SIMON burnforyou 2021-05-14 04:53 pm UTC (link)
	I think perhaps we can, if we can move past our...unyeildingness and talk to one another. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	DAPHNE \| SIMON incomparable 2021-05-14 04:55 pm UTC (link)
	You seemed quite angry when you first arrived and I know myself well enough to realize I can be quite indignant when I want to be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	DAPHNE \| SIMON burnforyou 2021-05-14 05:02 pm UTC (link)
	I felt betrayed by the person I'd chosen to trust above all others. But with time and distance I can see we were both equally at fault. I was not solely the victim I had painted myself to be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	DAPHNE \| SIMON incomparable 2021-05-14 05:22 pm UTC (link)
	I can't speak to what you felt. I can't even speak to what I felt, which is uniquely infuriating. I do know, though, that you were and you are my best friend and the last thing that I want is to hurt you. I'm okay with mild torture in the form of my new love of jeans, but I don't want to actually hurt you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	DAPHNE \| SIMON burnforyou 2021-05-14 05:33 pm UTC (link)
	I hope that if we can continue to be open here, nothing like that will happen again. Unless you do something stupid and get yourself hurt while you're stuck in that place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	DAPHNE \| SIMON incomparable 2021-05-16 11:11 pm UTC (link)
	I would never do something stupid. I'm very practical and level-headed, Simon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	DAPHNE \| SIMON burnforyou 2021-05-20 12:53 am UTC (link)
	Of course, Daphne. (Reply to this) (Parent)
