I have not entirely disliked being forced to learn the advanced conveniences of this place and time. As such, I have decided that I cannot continue living as if this is my home. That means there are things I need to learn. I have signed up for something called a Community College. But I cannot fit in the classrooms so I have been directed to something called a Zoom.

I require your assistance.

Greetings. My name is Thurvishar D'Lorus. After performing a perfunctory sweep of names on your compiled list I am confident in saying that there is no one here from my world, but if I'm incorrect, I beg your forgiveness. I'm loathe to sum up myself but in short: I am a wizard, and High Lord to the Noble House of Binders - paper, histories, archives, mapmaking, records, you get the idea. In my spare time, I work as the advisor to Empress Tyentso (long may she reign) and get dragged into near-death political deathtraps by my friends whose enthusiasm for life often outpaces their capacity for common sense. This isn't my first alternate dimension, nor will it likely be my last, but I do have three questions here that I would greatly appreciate a response:

• I wonder if there has been any study of how time moves in comparison to that of the homeworlds? This notion concerns me greatly, as we are on a-- we'll call it abbreviated -- schedule back home before, in short, total devastation and unending apocalypse strikes, and I would really very much like to avoid all of that, and:

• Has anyone else had their magical abilities dampened? I am missing a power that was second nature back home, and it seems to be much weakened here, and finally:

• I could use the spiciest curry on saag that Vallo could provide me with. Please, I implore you: blow my head off.

Thank you for any information you can provide.

Today is Day Three of waking up to a spectral dog wagging his tail and looking very expectantly at me, so I suppose it might be time to name him.

This is a terribly belated update, so I hope you can forgive me.

You've probably seen varying assessments of how the speed dating went, but I thought it was quite fine. It was odd at first, but it got easier with each person; whether that was me growing more comfortable or the drinks helping that along, we may never know. But the people that I met were very nice and I'm hopeful for some new friendships, so we'll see. Afterwards there was mingling, which seemed like it would be terrible, but Verin was there, so I just stuck near him. I also saw Pike, so there were plenty of familiar faces. I know the point was meeting new people, but Ver it is what it is.

Anyway, that's all I have to say about it. Nothing exciting or scandalous, I'm afraid, but it was nice getting out of the keep and forcing myself out of my comfort zone. I might just have to do it more often, in fact.

Um, hey everyone?

I'm still not sure what's going on exactly...yes, I watched the video but this is super weird, still. And I'm saying that as someone who's totally facing super weird every day.

Anyway, hi.

My name's Landon Kirby.

Yo, new powers that be, please bring my wife here because I'm a mess without her. :( Or send me back, I'm not picky.

This place is going to make me crazy. One cousin arrives, another disappears along with one of my closer friends.

You forget how fast technology changes when you're dead for ten years and suddenly it takes you a few minutes to figure out how the hell cellphone works. Cameras are so good now. Instagram, you look like a blessing and a curse rolled into one.

Anyway, hey. I'm Anna. I'm new. Nice video. I appreciated the explosions.

Well, this isn't the worst place I've unexpectedly found myself. The welcome video is a nice touch. So is the free apartment.

I'm guessing this isn't C-53. Anyone have any idea what this planet's designation is? Don't suppose there's a guy named Fury around. Or anyone from SHIELD?

I can’t believe I’m actually asking for help on this publicly but

Recommendations for where I can take some cooking classes? Or someone who has a lot of patience to teach a guy who seriously can’t cook anything? I usually burn everything or it tastes bad. Sure I can live off thawed food and the skills of others but I’d rather not. I just want to make some stupid eggs when I can’t sleep without burning the kitchen down.

Well, this is honestly not a post I ever imagined making but I did promise. Is there a Carlos here? Or an Evie, Mal or Jay?

I found a dog while on my walk. He says his name is Dude. I got plenty of sleep last night. I'm not hallucinating. The dog told me his name is Dude.
