I mentioned to Ostyia the other day when she enquired about potential games that I might set up a go at Thieves, Quur's favorite party game. After a review of the rules, I think it can be easily done with interested partners if I moderate. The game is set for 8 players, and lasts as long as people can keep their stories straight - for it is a game of lying. I'd dole out ten runes to each player, each rune corresponding with a certain character trait. Your duty, as a player, is to pick five traits to keep, and five traits to conceal at all costs. On top of these ten runes, there will be an additional piece given to each player indicating whether or not they have murdered an important political figure. Your duty is to either succeed with getting away with the murder through artful lying, or to solve the crime (and absolve yourself of the guilt, for in this game, yes, you can be sent to prison unlawfully if you're unable to properly defend yourself). There are set numbers of traits in each bag of runes; for example, there are only two ladies in waiting. If you pull one, and two other people in the game are claiming to be ladies in waiting, you know they're lying about that. It sounds more complicated than it is. I'll create a cheat sheet of each rune, their number and their meaning, and send it over to interested parties well before the game.

I'm am considering doing it New Year's Eve, barring disaster and/or stringent objection. The study in my library will be perfect for it. I'll serve drinks and food, so come hungry, and we'll start at 9:00pm promptly. Around midnight we can take a break to view fireworks, and return to the game if it hasn't been solved already. Wear what you want; there's no reason to have a dress code, but I'll warn you that I am fond of capes and am liable to wear one if it's cold, and eat me if you find that too dramatic, etc.

Well, fuck. Thanks for that, Vallo.

Something appeared overnight and I can't don't want to look at it alone.

You need to be here with me. Please.

I finally get some people from home and And you know

Maybe one day people will come and it'll stick. I'll miss you, Jason Grace. I wish I knew a different ending than the one you were going back to.

Well, look at that. If Richie hadn't just told me sometimes stuff from home shows up, this would've been a lot creepier.

One of my fanny packs, circa 1990. And I don't want to hear your crap about fanny packs, they're useful and it was 1990. Full of all my stuff from back then, too. Great for a stroll down memory lane, maybe.

Maybe not.

That was a hell of a way to spend Saturday night. If I can't race, that was the substitute needed.

The fights happen every month?

It's kind of late notice but I was basically a ball of gloom because you know, Vallo sucks. But tonight is the start of Yule with Mōdraniht aka Mother's Night.

So like usually its a simple ceremony of honoring your mothers or female ancestors. Plus goddesses if you want, but I usually stick to the women in my family.

Anyway. At ten I'll light the bonfire out back and if anyone wants some hot chocolate and to come honor their female ancestors, feel free to come over.

Baking cookies are also a thing, and I will be doing more of that after finishing up wrapping all of these presents. So there will be plenty of those to eat with the hot cocoa.

So...my birthday is coming up on the 27th. I know time traveling makes things a little weird, but I'll technically be seventeen, so I'd like to celebrate. I was thinking we could go roller skating? Or all go out to dinner?

( Each day was a little easier than the one before it. )

Landon's gone. Evie's gone. Please don't make me lose my parents again too. I don't think I could survive it.

(right after Cobb's arrival)

Dan, someone from my galaxy arrived. Is there space at the mortuary for him as well?

So Vallo, a nice little treasure island meet Sci-Fi wet dream. Pretty cool I guess. Was half expecting to see some creepy scientist observational lab somewhere but nope. This place sure goes on. Tried to take a selfie slowing down to run with unicorns but they don’t like cameras, I get it.


Anyway. I’m Peter and I am part of the X-men? come from an uh, “school for gifted youngsters”. Anyone else here or did I finally go other dimension fast? Kurt? Jube? Scott?

I have so many questions involving the holidays in this world and the terminologies.

1. What's the difference between Santa Claus and Father Christmas?
2. What's the significance of the tree with decorations on it?
3. Can pumpkins still be involved in this holiday? Because I'm not done enjoying pumpkin pie just yet.
4. Who decided eggnog was the drink of the month?

That's all for now, but I'm sure there will be more coming up.

Apologies for the delay in saying 'Hello', here! It took me a little while to get used to typing on here but I do believe I finally have the hang of it and the hang of being on the surface, judging by the sun and the cold. My name is Zagreus, son of Hades and Persephone and I arrived here... not too long ago, I suppose? It's very difficult to tell whether it's day or night in the Underworld.

Frankly, I'm not really sure what anything here is and I've only ever seen a small amount of the surface before, but, happy to be here!
