How do we feel about an impromptu wine night? I could use one.

[FILTERED TO RAYLAN GIVENS]

Hi honey. Do you mind hanging out with Paige tonight? I'm going to stop by the Sanctum for a while and have drinks with Stephen and Wanda. I'm sure it's a terrible first move as her big sister to abandon her right after she's arrived, but I need some space to process.

There is no doubt that Boggy is the very best emotional support frog familiar that there is, but I have been considering maybe getting a not familiar pet once it's more into summer. Thoughts on the sort of pet would be best for someone whose sole experience has been with the most laid back familiar in existence?

Hey! Hello. I don't know if anyone else would be interested in this, but I thought maybe it would be nice to have some kind of graduation or end of school or just a celebration of it being summer party? Would any of you be into that? It just feels like it would be nice. I don't usually do party planning or throw parties at all, but I have a house it could be at?

ETA: Since school is out on June 10, we'll aim to party on June 11!

It's been at least 6 months since I walked into another dimension, and this one is definitely more elaborate.

Hi, I'm Utena Tenjou! I like basketball, tea, fencing, and the color pink.

I'm usually not alone so this...is a change. I thought coming to high school would be weird, but this isn't exactly what I bargained for.

[OOC: Sometime in the night, the following note was left on Thurvishar's desk.]

Off Vallo's eastern coast, there's a small, densely forested island. Not much lives there - a few squirrels and water fowl make up the whole population. Nothing of much interest grows there, either. The only real purpose in going there is to be alone - or, apparently, to meet unobserved.

Two weeks ago, there were three witches in that clandestine meeting. Last night there were four. They discussed the magical energy of blood and an attempt to find an object called The Morrigan's Grail.

I suppose wherever there's power, you'll find people looking for more of it.

It might be nothing. But if it's not, now you have something to look up in your library.

So it's been a minute since I've been on here, but I've been busy trying to figure out what to do with this martial arts school my sister wanted to start and I was helping with, as well as keeping the Great Protector happy. That's why I thought the fatigue I was feeling was more to do with me overloading myself than anything else.

But today I woke up and I'm, um, gray? And I can barely keep my eyes open and I have no idea if this has anything to do with my connection with the Great Protector, but Zumulong is quieter...smaller than she normally is and I think it might? Roz discovered that we're connected and she was connected to my sister as well, using us to sustain her here in Vallo without Ta Lo around.

With my sister gone though, I don't think I'm enough and I need some help figuring out a solution here.
