I can't believe I'm asking this, but is everyone alright during the rampant bunny increase? Is bunny even the right term anymore? That seems to imply they're cute...

[BRIGITTE]
Should we be supplying weapons to locals to help with this?

After dissecting researching the matter of Bluebell "vicious bunnies," I've come to a few conclusions: namely, that they possess a genetic predisposition to violence. These are aggressive animals with an accelerated growth pattern. Ordinarily, predators would keep them in check, but it would seem that failsafe hasn't occurred, which is why we are encountering them now.

The important bit here is that they are currently multiplying—to the point where their numbers will soon overwhelm the local wildlife population. That would include us, by the way. Did I mention this is happening alarmingly quickly?

Now, what to do about all that is out of my jurisdiction. You're welcome to review my notes yourself, if you've a mind: [Attached Google Doc] It's back to finding what passes for tea in this place. I apparently can't go without sleep anymore Dull

It's weird to think that this Friday I'm going to be graduating, but without my mom there. It makes it feel...less celebratory than it should be.

I guess I'll just have to make up for it by going to my first Pride. With my first boyfriend. Seems a lot of firsts for one weekend, huh?

To all the fashion-terrified people of Vallo, Pride is this Saturday. If you need help crafting the perfect outfit this week, I am here for all your clothing needs, whether that is mending, adding, painting, dying, ripping, or whatever else you want to do to extend your inward self out. I could probably knit you a romper if you wanted, or at least a cool sweatband.

GANGSEY.

You've probably noticed a new addition to the field past the long barn. After a boatload of tea, angry staring, aggressively eating yogurt, and making sure I wasn't hallucinating, don't go near the tree. My dad might pop out of it and I'm not emotionally ready to deal with him.

Fathers are a touchy subject at the Barns. So why the fuck did we do a Father's Day event, you're wondering. Because even tho it turned out my dad had more secrets than a dirty politician and maybe was kind of a shitty dad altogeth, I still miss him. I just keep thinking that I don't wanna be him. I fucking hate keeping secrets.

I really hate keeping this secret. At home, there wasn't a choice. It was keep the secret or die. Or maybe just end up somebody's pet or a lab rat. But knowing me? Probably just dead. Probably everyone I've ever given two shits about dead first.

God, I'm fucking rambling. A bunch of you have magic and superpowers for fuck's sake. Sabrina cures cancer, Atreus is a god. Just get to the goddamn point right?

Ok.

Fuck.

My dad's big secret was the same as mine. I can pull things out of my dreams and make them real.

It's come to my attention that there might be a few people here who, like me, could use some mental health support. I have a pretty big list of resources and contact information that I've gathered over the year that I've been here. I'm happy to pass it along to anyone who might be considering some form of therapy—or even just a counseling session or two. When I got here, I was [...] in a very bad spot to put it extremely lightly, and if I can help ease someone else's stress, I'd like to try.

The highlighted names are the people I've personally seen and highly recommend. If anyone has any questions or just wants to talk to someone, my door is always open, too. Completely confidential. Umbra—my licensed therapy dog—is also available whenever you need. Or just for pets. He likes those.

Here I was with a quiet afternoon to myself to catch up on a little paperwork and what happens? I dimension-shift! Seriously, can't a guy just have one afternoon off?

Has anyone seen my friend Thomas? It's rather urgent I speak with him.

I have what may come across as an odd request, but I am looking for anyone here who may have direct experience with androids or cybernetics?

I thought I was done losing friends, and now I've lost more than one.

How entirely like you to show up and give the truth of things only to immediately leave again. Goodbye, Dolores.

I am not blind enough to not notice that you seemed to know us from another time, so if you require anything now that she is gone, let me know.

What's the point of even bringing people here if you're just going to keep taking them away?

What the actual frogging ducking FRUITING BASEBALL is happening now.

Fork this.

I watched your show. Can we try talking again?

Hi, I'm Scott! It's really great to be here because I was starting to think I was going to get stuck in the quantum realm like Janet did. By the way that welcome video was awesome. Top notch. The world needs more musical welcome videos done in Nightmare Before Christmas style.

So what next? I have an eclectic skill set and if all else fails, I know how to scoop ice cream. As long as it's not Baskin-Robbins. We have history.

By the way, what is THIS thing??? I take it that's not part of the welcome committee?

Hypothetical question. How likely are people to try to force experiments on people for being different here?

I thought this place was so different, but it turns out so many of us had our stories written for us.

How many of you have read or watched your own? Do you advise it?

[Maeve]
How much are you pretending?

[AVA]
I would like to check on your stitches tonight if that's alright? You've been tending to them like I showed you?

[HIS FRIENDS]
Were any of you harmed during the goblin battle? I'm sure most of you have your own healing skills or know medical/healing locals who can help you out, but I do have some training if anyone is in need.
