vallo

( Texts to Dean Winchester )

Two unrelated items of note:

• While previously I possessed a dim view of coffee, I decided to give one of your seasonal offerings a try, and I can now apologize profusely for my dismissal of all such beverages: pumpkin spice lattes are perfect. Simply perfect. We've nothing truly like it in Quur, save a cinnamon tea that's not nearly so comforting or sweet. If one of you entrepreneurial sorts wants to offer it up year round, I will consistently skulk within your shop.

• Secondly, I awoke this morning very literally covered in books. It appears that a portion of my library from back home has found its way to me here in Vallo. I recently acquired even more tomes due to the untimely death of an ally/friend/mentor/traitor/wizard/drunk, but I had not had a chance back home to go through the sheer volume of texts. Should anyone wish to make me their personal lending library, the books are wide in subject and varied, including:
  • Fictional tales of the God Kings: Their Lives and Extremely Messy Deaths
  • A History of Notable Witches (this one was banned, and if you damage it, I will destroy you)
  • A discussion of hand-to-hand fighting techniques (common in the Blight)
  • a Vane epic tale that seems to be less about immortal heroes and their adventures and more of a who-slept-with-who-and-details-on-the-how (not mine, don't know where it came from),
  • my tenth year report on the Royal Houses of Quur that very nearly got me expelled (I stand by every word),
  • Poison Plants of the Southern Empire,
  • Gender Politics and the Horsemen of Jorat (for those of you interested in what it means to 'run with the herd', sexually) and
  • my father's book on soul magic, which I will only lend once I am convinced that you're of a sufficient moral character to be trusted with its contents.

Should anyone be interested. And/or kind enough to dig me out of this mess. Literally. I am still buried in books. They're... everywhere.

It was just brought to my attention that it's Adam's (Milligan) birthday today, he's my brother. No, I didn't forget, I just didn't know and it's a long story. He doesn't have a ton of friends (according to him), so I wanted to invite everyone. I know it's a little last minute but I'm hoping at least a few people can make it. It's going to be a surprise, tonight at the bunker (our place) and there will be food and drinks. Though I will have to figure that out. If you're interested, just let me know so I can figure out how much shit to buy. Anyone is welcome, even if you just want to show up for the free food.

If any of the Star Wars people could show up, that would be SUPER awesome. He's a big fan.

[OOC: Since this was last minute I plan to put something up for the actual event tomorrow.]

As much as I appreciate the hospitality, I do believe I have arrived here in error. I will not be so presumptuous as to say I will be missed where I was, but I do not feel as there is any benefit that will come from my being here.

Is there an option should we wish to decline?

Timetravel: If it was early winter 2019 in my last reality, am I turning 26 next month or am I prematurely ageing myself?

I was told Persephone is here, somewhere. Can anyone tell me where I might find her?



[...] I'm Artemis, if that helps any.
