One of our Art Camp activities this week (Sunday) is "Welcome to Cardboard Castle." If anyone has boxes they are willing to donate to the cause of children's art and architecture, please notify me. I will be happy to retrieve them. We seek boxes of all sizes, though large ones are especially valued. We are also accepting donations of tape and Christmas Lights.

We all wish to thank the community for supporting us, that we may in turn support you. Your assistance yesterday was vital to our staff and volunteers, as has been the ongoing support that allows us to keep up this space and its activities on a regular basis.

All of you did beautiful work yesterday, especially to have done it on such short notice. I know that the following days will be just as wonderful. Thank you all.

Please discuss your choice of places from which to order lunch today and have your order to me by 10:30. There are doughnuts and bagels in the kitchen for everyone working this morning.

The woman who complained about her child drawing butts and the man who complained about his daughter seeing scary drawings by other children have been managed, as has the woman who argued that there should also have been chips with the sandwiches. If today brings any new complaints, send them directly to me. Such nonsense concerns are not your responsibility.

If you need anything at all over the course of the day, be it support, supplies, direction, or a reprieve from your duties, call upon me. I wish to support this endeavor fully, so I ask that you consider me a resource entirely at your disposal.

Is Sir William Laurence carrying on well? Please tell me if there is anything I may help with, as I am certain he will not.

Hello, Vallo... supposedly, I'm not supposed to be the age I am now because it's the 2020s but apparently that's a thing that happens. Did you figure out how to send people back to their worlds or is that something that's a work in process here?

I suppose that it's high time I've introduced myself on this, though I'm not so sure that now's the best time. I understand that events like... this happen often here though, so perhaps it is.

I'm Tom Badgerlock. I arrived here about a week and a half ago, and have spent the last week acquainting myself with... all of this. It's all very different than where I'm from, but I think I've been getting the lay of the land.

I also suspect the money I was given on my arrival won't last too terribly long, so if anyone has any work, I would be grateful for it. I can do scribe work, though I don't suppose I'll be able to try my hand at creating inks for it without better acquainting myself with the local flora. I've done work in the past as a farmhand, and can do manual labour. Most recently I was employed as the valet and bodyguard of a particular lord, and then was recruited into the Queen's guard. I'm most proficient with an axe, though I can use a sword if necessary.

You owe me big time, Ronan Lynch Alright the Mother's Day event at the Barns is still on for Sunday even if people are still kids, so come by for breakfast and a Sunday market and to pet animals and stuff.

Hi, can you two come help Blue and me this weekend with setting up and running this thing? If the kids turn back before then it won't be that big of a deal but there's no guarantee.

Also if you turn into toddlers I'm writing you out of my will.

Okay. Who wants to be helpful? We've got a list of tasks for you guys if you want something to keep you busy and help out.

I need someone who's really good at folding cards.

Two who are allowed to use scissors.

Someone who isn't going to eat a glue stick.

Someone who wants to sort beads.

Any of you that want to do any taste testing.

And whatever else Blue puts on the list.

i have spent the last day sobering up and reflecting on my actions over the last couple of days.

i was foolish. and rash. and very emotional. the raincloud following me around gave that part away, i suppose. but i apologize to all of you because i realize after jacob's lecture that i was being selfish and entitled and that you are all very good people that were only trying to help.

so i have killed a few boars for you and your families in penance and am working on cooking the meat as i speak. i will come visit your homes shortly with my apologies in person, unless you would prefer i never speak to you again!

I want to go explore the woods.

I heard it moves. Do the trees pick up the roots and go PLOP somewhere different? Does anyone wanna play hide and seek? The cat says its good for hiding, but red eyes said to not go. But she went somewhere so I want to explore.

Is there a big beach?

The dogs say I got a boat but I dunno where it is. Does anyone know where my boat is? How do you ride a bo Can dogs ride a
