Cool thing about life, how there is always more to learn, yeah? I am not in school for many years, but still I learn new things every day! Like today I learn important lesson:

IF YOU FIND SURPRISE BOX IN WOODS, DO NOT COME NEAR BOX WITHOUT WEAPON.

Because maybe box is not box, but is actually bitey asshole and will try to chew your arm off! This is not good start to morning.

Thanks Tas for not letting me get eaten, thanks Wen Qing for fixing bite! Now I go bury pain in pancakes.

Wow this place sure is interesting. How do you guys get the buildings so high? And all these, what, cars? How do they run? Are the cars magic, or do you have to be a wizard to drive them? Because I would love to drive a car if someone has one! How fast do they go?

And this magical communication box (??? phone, I guess? What a weird name. Why's it called a phone?) is great too. We don't have this kind of magic back on Krynn. I mean, we do have some items that you can use to talk to people, but you can really only talk to one person at a time, I think, and they're pretty powerful. Not everyone has one like these phones (really, only powerful wizards have them I think) and no one's ever let me keep one long enough to see if I could contact more than one person.

Speaking of! Hi! I'm Tasslehoff Burrfoot, but my friends call me Tas! I'm a kender from Krynn, and I came here with my friend Caramon. We were only supposed to travel 356 years in the future (Not our future, we were in the past, so we were just coming home), but apparently our magical time traveling device malfunctioned and we ended up here! This horrible, ugly evil wizard (and like, awful evil, not fun evil) told us that because the evil Goddess Takhisis (do you guys have Takhisis here? Or Fizban? I didn't see them in the sky last night) repaired it (she didn't, my gnome friend Gnimsh fixed it for us before he was), it would send us to some terrible and awful place, but this place doesn't seem so terrible and awful. Nowhere that has magical boxes that sing (that was really fun, by the way) can be that bad. And all these things that try to eat you that are everywhere? Amazing!! I've never had so much fun trying to decide which chair to sit on or what lock to pick!

It seems interesting at least, but I guess interesting isn't always good. Like, watching the gods throw a mountain on a city was interesting, but it was interesting in a really terrible kind of way, especially since we knew it was coming but couldn't do anything to stop it even though I tried.


ANYWAY! I mentioned before that I came here with a friend, Caramon. Somehow we got separated when we arrived, so I guess he must be wandering around here somewhere on his own. He's probably pretty lost and very confused (unless another nice person helped him out! Hi Catra!!!!). He's pretty easy to spot though. He's really big - I mean he's big for a human too, not just a kender, though I guess he'd be a little bit small if he was a minotaur or an ogre. Not weirdly small, but on the small side - and he has brown hair. He's had a really, really bad day, so he might ask for some alcohol but please don't give him any! He'll be just as happy (happier even, I promise) with spiced potatoes! And then you can just message me where he is and I'll come pick him up!

This is by far the most interesting and also most useless fake out car (because I'm not really delivering pizzas in it?) I've ever had. At least I'm pretty sure of that, anyway. Hard to tell when there's a block in your head that's a thousand years young.

( cut for picture )

I've asked the network at large about the best 'gift' from home they've gotten here (and no, I'm not exactly thrilled to have Pizza Car considering it's a piece of the Void and no one wants to see the Void up close and personal) but what's something you'd wish would show up but hasn't yet? Maybe if we put it out into the universe, things will happen.

It's oddly reassuring to check this thing and find I'm not the only one an inanimate object tried to kill this morning. Still not quite sure how I feel about it being my pants but the other pairs seem docile at least.

If I never get eaten by anything ever again it will be too fucking soon.

I'm going to need about fifty showers and then I'm going to need about a hundred drinks, and I still don't think I'm ever ever going to get the taste out of my mouth.

This place is the fucking worst.
