vallo

Why does this world have such weird rules? Has anyone else every been in this situation? Have you ever tried to talk normally but can't stop asking questions? Can someone also help me fix something I left broken from a few days ago when I had suddenly gained super strength out of nowhere? Will this week ever end?

To the person whose shoes I apparently turned to dust today, I am very sorry. Again. Just--really sorry.

I don't even know if they were an Outlander and will see this, my roughly 23rd apology, but I feel like I really ought to put that into the universe, just to be safe.

I had to kill this.

Does anyone know if it's edible or what parts of it have other uses?

My hair fell out when I killed it.  I'm going to stay inside until I figure out how to cover my scars. for a while, after I take care of the remains.

I know most aren't crazy about this blizzard. I wouldn't want to be out in it or driving in it, but I've always thought there was something magical and beautiful about snow. Plus it's a good night for snuggling in front of the fireplace and/or enjoying a nice glass of wine.

I hate to alarm anyone, especially the people of my house but there's no other way to say this: the birds outside our windows can talk. And they know things.

If anyone needs me, I’ll be combing Vallo for limited edition something-something boots since I somehow disintegrated Natasha’s in the midst of my crossbow maintenance. That was new.

Pretty sure I’ll end up glared to death if I can’t replace them, pray for me.

What in the magic shenanigans is going on around here? A copy of myself just turned to snow in the middle of our living room and my sister has a pack of ducklings following her around.

Well, as it turns out, the fae here were not impressed when I inquired about the Unseelie and indicated my association with the same court in my own world, so...

Hello, once again. It has been a few weeks, but I did not properly introduce myself as I instead just asked about mortality--apologies for that, once again--and muffins. My name is Andhera and it is a great pleasure to meet all of you.

I have since found muffins--thank you, once again, to those of you that gave suggestions as they were all well founded. I also have it under good authority that there is a library that is not just good, but is actually great, that I am looking forward to checking out incredibly soon as I like books and I like great books even more. Oh, I also ate something called a cheeseburger and I may only eat cheeseburgers for the rest of my existence.

That said, has anyone seen a dog wandering about with the face of an old man? He answers to Grandpa Dog and occasionally swears.

Bloody hell, I can't believe I'm Any mums around have recommendations for insomnia? I tried the bath thing and I fell asleep in there and nearly drowned so I'm calling that one a wash. Music doesn't really calm me. It just makes me want to dance. Do those odd pillows really work or is that just capitalist propaganda?

Anyway, I miss fighting. Who wants to arm wrestle a tired and perpetually sober insomniac? I might fall asleep on you and if I do, you had better leave me to my nap.

Thank you to everyone who helped the younger me. I'm glad she had a break from her life. Sorry to anyone I bothered when I turned into a pirate. That was a strange night.

Also - While I don't believe in love at first sight, even believing in love is,  I have made an exception.  There is a new guy in my life.

Hey, I wanted to check in and see how you were doing with all the recent crazy. Are you busy on Saturday?

((ooc note: Abigail's been aged down to when her father was the shrike. It's an open post, I'm putting it under a cut as there may be mentions of abuse/brainwashing))

( Abigail's Housewarming )

Sign-ups for the annual pumpkin carving contest here! Carving party at my place next weekend, anyone welcome! I'll post pictures of everything here on the network for admiration/ridicule as needed.

Just a reminder to everyone that my  housewarming party is tomorrow.  Please come and have fun!

I thought I should chime in here to add on that if anyone needs help coping with the latest problems with Vallo, I can help with tea or meditation or Weeds. Or a combination of all three! It's important to be around friends in a safe environment!

Is it possible to have another day or two off from classes after the events of the weekend? Just asking for a friend.

I think I'm going to be sleeping in the living room again tonight, just a heads up. Don't worry, my entire 5'3 self is not going to take up too much space.

You are a godsend. My hair is going to surpass in quality compared to Steve's in no time.

I am able to change dreams and nightmares, for those of you troubled ones following the recent events. If any of you that have recently returned require this in order to rest without medication, I am willing to offer my services.

I did not watch the majority of it, but I noticed the dream world was frazzled last night in particular. It is a dangerous thing to focus too much on the memories that haunt our sleep, a natural balance must be maintained.

( A first home was a new and exciting chapter )

Ten years ago I was very dead and stuck on the Other Side, just two years after finding out I was actually a witch, not thinking I'd make it past 18.

Ten years later I'm now:

- Posting in a public network to remind people that an entire city is about to decent in Halloween and Samhain insanity, it's kind of a big deal around here. Some witches and others with magic look at is a New Year, and the veil between the living and the dead is at its thinnest. Expect a lot of celebrations from your local covens. (Similarly, Halloween. Get your costumes now before you're scrambling to find something last minute like the majority of the population. Just don't buy pieces of your costume from actual magic shops. That's how you get cursed.)
- Still trying to convince my son that "Pants" is not the best Halloween costume. I'm still losing.
- Getting a second chance with my favorite person, who I actually used to hate at one point.
- Wondering how Caroline did what she did as I'm trying to get my own grasp on Thurvishar's job as Magic Lead.

Time is weird.
