So I just wanted to take a minute when things aren't super weird (I mean, weirder than usual because I think a unicorn ordered a chai tea latte in front of me at Starbucks this morning) to announce that we'll be doing a little summer shindig at Rose Apothecary on July 3rd. It's an in-store demonstration of one of my favorite summer lotions - a handmade honey healing cream, good for all skin types and especially if you get a little sunkissed out there. There's even a version that's a diaper rash cream, for those who actually diaper baby butts on a regular basis. That's the main event, but consider it like a trunk show featuring all our best local vendors.

I'll be serving up fresh lemonade too, because it's actually something I can make without burning down the kitchen. Be there or be...the only one not there.

Jester came by to look at the solar, and seems up to the subtly lewd idea.

Also, guess who stumbled (literally) on the Black Emporium. No Xenon, or alas Chauncy, so I'm going to be looking after it. Anders gave it a look over, and it doesn't seem haunted, but I don't think it has it's 'can only be found if invited' thing going on anymore. Opinions on if that should be a thing, because it's kind of hidden right now. You really wouldn't know it's there unless you really looked so I think it ought to be fine.

There's some supplies like weapons and materials, so everyone gets first pick. The rest will get sold. Always some rich folk that want specialized items right? I'm going to see if any of the others might want to take a look of some of it. My idea is I can work with Brigitte (the lady in charge of the smithy) to work with the metals and produce the weapons we've got schematics for. Suggestions, opinions? If any of you want to help me with this, I'll welcome it.

This isn't the weirdest thing that's happened to me recently, but it's jarring waking up somewhere new even with a welcome video. There aren't any zombies here, right?

Even after instruction, I find myself ill-equipped to use this device except to inquire about which is the quickest route to the Crossed Quills?

The moment I think I know what to expect in this city, something happens to prove beyond a doubt that I literally have no idea what's going on 90% of the time. I was out picking up fresh vegetables for dinner, minding my own business, when here comes some...massive animal barreling through the streets. I don't even know what it was! At first I thought it was a large white bear, but it may have just been a massive dog, I honestly don't know. I've never seen a dog that damn big but, again, I can't even pretend to know what to expect here.

So, anyway, if you're in town, be on the lookout. Didn't seem like a threatening animal, but it's sheer size is enough to advise caution.

I guess now I need to figure out what to make with what produce I was able to salvage. Nothing with cabbage. My cabbages were ruined.
