I have spent the last seventy-two hours¹ refining additional elements² on the car³, and I am now comfortable in saying this: Viktor⁴, I trash talk you⁵.


1. This exceeds my usual limits of going without sleep. I find I'm uncertain where I live now⁶
2. Finding a balance of burst speed and sustained speed is exciting work. I've done similar before, but only for extremely utilitarian reasons and life-or-death stakes. Playing with it, knowing that even should I fail, the only lasting consequence will be to my pride⁷, is fun I've not gotten to have previously. I like it.
3. For the Great Vallo Race
4. Others may also consider themselves trash-talked if they wish. My confidence in my work is absolute.
5. I have read about the trash talk and I understand it is meant to be a good-natured sort of adversarial communication between friends. If I am doing it incorrectly, please advise so I may adjust my approach accordingly. These things do not come easily for me, but I do find that with study and occasional corrections from those who understand people, I can improve.
6. Genya, my love, if you would be so kind as to give me a hand at the shop, I would appreciate it.
7. Everyone should applaud my wife for being as brave and gracious as she is beautiful, because after considering the matter she has elected to withhold any objection to my taking the passenger seat while Nikolai drives our creation.

Enough time has passed from 'vibrators' so this won't be awk I'm dedicating once a week to making an enormous amount of food to be consumed that night with maybe a sit down dinner or kept as leftovers. Bringing a friend or two to help put a dent in things is something I will not say no to. I also take requests?

And with things more settled this is a blanket reminder that my home is open to you all for whatever reason. It is usually quiet, and I usually have cookies.

I'm going to be able to continue my education in the New Year, I wasn't able to get things in order for the start of this term.

In the meantime, is there anyone looking for

- A botanist
- A Biotechnologists in training
- Someone who likes to combine magic and science for the good of humanity and because it's fun
- Someone hiring period
- I need a job

Well, I can officially say that everything my teachers in high school told me about college seems to be one big "Let's See How Scared We Can Get Them" because I'm pretty sure half of them told me that we would have to be at our utmost respectful and professional, and yet I've already had two college professors walk in wearing sweatpants talking about how they were hungover from the previous night and the first day was only for the syllabus, okay bye, see you next class.

Or is that Vallo colleges are the ones that happen to be that chilled out?

I hate to bring this up at a time like this when we're... having fun in this world? Maybe? But I feel like I have to bring it up to someone at least, and I figured I'd do it with the four of us before we brought it to the rest of the group but.

I started a chat with someone else who dealt with Vecna in their world and it sounds like even though it wasn't easy for them either, they managed it. How much is it going to help us, I'm not sure but I feel like I just have to find out how they managed to do it. Even if it turns out to be pointless, I want to try. Unless it requires us having magic.

I've dropped down to part-time at the library now that school's started but if you still want to research in the stacks, I'll be during Friday evenings and Sundays.
