vallo

How far back in time does Vallo pull people from? I think I saw an ancient Assyrian (possibly Sumerian? I'm not an expert on the period) walking very purposefully through the town this morning. I thought about asking him, then recalled the elephant's 'satiable curiosity and decided I should probably not. (Kipling is problematic, but I retain my childhood fondness for the Just So Stories nonetheless).

The east wing bathroom poltergeist is back. Gansey, do you think you could shoo him off until the exorcist can get here? I've put up the Out of Order sign in the meantime in hopes that no one else gets sprayed in the face by the bathroom sink.

TEXT MESSAGES TO ADAM:

» Hey, you. I just got a call from your sister to come over and hang out with Catra and Finn tomorrow while she takes your mom out for a movie.
» I know you have plans with Kate, but dinner after at Darla?
» I don't think it's optional judging by Adora's tone.

Somewhere between my birthday earlier in the week and it being September already, I've been a little nostalgic the last couple of days. It was my second birthday that I've gotten to celebrate here in Vallo (38, before anyone asks) and the sheer amount of stuff that has happened to me and change that I've felt personally is pretty wild to think back on.

It was nearly a year ago that some of us had that wild adventure with cultists and rocket launchers and monsters. I went to hell, traveled in time, spent a week stressing folks out as a child, fought a whole slew of creatures through defense patrols, got my first job that wasn't mercenary work since I was a guard in my hometown, kissed a handsome man for the first time in seven years (which I think was well received, judging from near eleven months later), and just met so many new, great people. I know that things are their own shade of uh terrible? awful? fucked up? eventful back home, thanks to Vallo gifting me the occasional check-in, but quite the ride when you spent several years just coasting.

Anyway, sorry. This is a lot and I usually don't like talking this much, but here's to another year, I suppose. Maybe with less fighting bad guys? We'll see.



Also, to the people who live with me: I told Laudna when my the tree from Zephrah first arrived that we could decorate it come autumn in a seasonally appropriate and spooky way. I know she isn't here to appreciate it, but I still want to honor that for her, if any of you want to join me in getting some decorations.

'Sup, Outlanders of Vallo. I'm Eli Grimsbane, born and raised in Vallo & a member of the Ankou coven. I've met some of your pretty faces and made out with a few too, but then I took a leave of absence and found some trouble along the way. Brought that trouble BACK with me and now I'm teaching them about all the shit us mere mortals get up to. Tacos, donuts, BBQ last night (thanks for the blast, sorry if you got growled at), next stop is karaoke.

Which The Spectrum's hosting tonight, so if you want to come along and see two people that know no modern music get up on stage and sing, that's the ultimate goal for the night.

Also if anybody's got any leads on cheap apartments for a starving artist native & only partially employed friends, I'll hook you up with some magic mushrooms or weed.

I'm glad that it appears that everyone is doing okay after the floods.

Everyone is well I hope and did I hear something about an end of summer event?

Do you think, since I wasn't here for the wedding, they would like me to get them something small?

I HAVE HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS!

Yes, I know, it's only the first of September, I don't care. They were there in the stores and I got them. I'm already planning on decking out the entire castle as soon as possible.

I just need some assistance because, you know, I can't fly. The castle is really big.
