It's baby dino season on the island, apparently. My last two trips out here have had a few baby encounters, which means they're thriving!

I know that a lot of the kids that loved If there's any interest in doing another education overnight camping trip, let me know and I'll plan one. I can't promise you'll get to see the baby raptors (safety reasons), but I can give you these pics and a [VIDEO] that I took earlier.

( Can I keep them? )

Good news, I remembered where my past snack hideouts were!

Or my younger self had so many of them that it was basically probability working in my favor?

Either way this is a solid victory for me second only to getting a massive lick from one of the cows, slimy but totally worth it.

They were just He's not even alive back This is officially the worst set of weeks I ever had to deal with.

If it's not too much of a hassle, I need to be excused from work for the next two days, three days top.

(It’s a beautiful autumn evening on the front porch of Hawkins House. They’ve been through a lot recently, and it’s hard to find the fun and the joy they’ve usually felt in this place. As Mike looks at El in the moonlight, though, he’s suddenly overwhelmed by just how much he adores the girl next to him, and utterly amazed that somehow she feels the same. As the feeling hits, that’s when the music starts.)

( In classic 80s fashion...I've Had the Time of My Life )
(The dance is concluded not with a lift that would definitely get one of them killed but with Mike twirling El around and dipping her low over his arm. For just a second, they freeze, letting the image settle for the audience, and as the music cuts off, Mike breaks out laughing. This is the stupidest, best thing he's ever done.)

HELLO?



Weirdest spot you woke up in this morning, go.

Wait

Fuck

It's this shit fixed or not? WHO'S GOT EYES ON HENDERSON? This shit still isn't funny

[FILTERED TO ATREUS & FRIENDS]

Atreus, where are you? Anybody have eyes on him?

what the hell give him BACK! he's my it's not fai he's supposed to approve my spooky music list for all of you freaks.

It's my first autumn in Vallo. On a scale from 1 to 10, how intense is Halloween here? Does shit get wild or what? I've noticed the uptick in pumpkin stuff and now there's search engine crap (getting ahead of this now: I will not be shamed for my fanfic prefs) but I didn't know if it got worse as the month went on or what.

You know what's great?

Just getting to lay in bed, sleeping in all day, not needing to get up. Just lounging around, without an ounce of responsibility on this fine, totally unremarkable Tuesday.

First day of school, and we've got a bunch of skeletons just chilling on the school lawn. And I don't mean plastic "somebody got excited about Halloween early" skeletons. I mean actual bone skeletons that were walking around like they own the place. Carrie in my literature class said one of them asked her if she had any "tomes of power and might." (Apparently her math book doesn't count.)

So, thanks for making the first day of junior year good and weird, Vallo. Now I can think about how the hell skeletons are capable of talking instead of listening to anybody drone on about the syllabus.

Added Slightly Later:
Also, say I wanted to dampen sound around my lunch table at school so it's not so loud that we have to shout our whole conversation. Are there magic items that could do that? And if they do exist, how much would it probably cost to get one? (Specifically, could someone with "part time at the gaming store" money afford a Bubble of Quiet or whatever?)

Hey Outlanders. Are we sticking with our lunch table from last year, or are we trying for one of the ones up by the windows?

She's my only conne At lea Sorry about the giant teleporting wolf. he goes a little wild when he gets stressed and was standing next to me when I got the notification so I couldn't hide it from him for a little while.

[OOC: If you want your character to be accidentally knocked over, have their lunch knocked out of their hand, or surprised by this sad big boy, feel free! He's teleporting around Vallo causing chaos.]

Who needs a car when you can ride a big bird? Not Big Bird, but yeah, you get it. And I didn't even fall off or crash, so that was even a surprise for me. Second place is like winning without the extra attention, so I'm more than all right with that.

Kinda feels weird having cut in the middle of Lance and Atreus, but I'm kinda used to the third wheel thing.

Have we figured out if this is one person or whatever being able to mimic someone so easily or is it multiples? Unless this person can clone itself or just appear in more than one place? My brain is working in overdrive right now and coming up with worst case scenarios, and thinking "can they mimic someone's superpowers?"

I walked into class earlier and said hi to a study buddy, to which I got a glare in return. Turns out that she saw me around Vallo earlier and asked me to proofread the homework assignment for any errors and I ended up telling her "this is utter bullshit", then ripped it up into little pieces that she has nothing to submit for this class.

Look, I know I want to get ahead in life, but I would never. Damage control with the student and the professor went... well, it wasn't perfect, but I managed.

I'm stuck babysitting eight children because someone who looks like me, but is not me, said they would. Any advice on how not not stab eight children for being annoying? Or, even better - does someone wants to come watch eight annoying children for me so I can go stab this impersonator?

Eggs marinated in mountain dew for 6 hours before boiled, yolks made with nacho cheese Doritos and cayenne pepper.


I've got 24 of them. Who isn't chicken shit enough to try one?

Nice place you have here.

This is all real new and might be easier to handle with a full stomach so. Any recommendations? I've been mostly just eating variations of cooked mushroom and apple for a while so give me your wildest suggestions.



Oh, I'm Link. Hi.

Camping at Dinosaur Island was AMAZING! Seriously one of the best weekends of my entire life. Thanks for setting it up and making sure none of us got ourselves eaten by being dumbasses, Atreus. You rule.

Hey. So we have a bunch of cool nerds here, and I figure most of us aren't getting invited to other people's end of the year cookouts and whatever. Do you guys want to try having our own? The people at my house would probably let us host, if there's any interest in it. (I haven't asked yet. I wanted to see if the response was more "yeah, let's hang out" or "shut up you dumbfuck" before I bothered.) It could double as a graduation party for the people getting out this year.

I GOT MINIATURES! Not as many as I wanted, but enough that all the NPCs aren't going to be played by paperclips this week. If anybody wants to help me and El paint them, we'll be working on them after school.

Hey, since I actually have money to go places now: wanna go on a real date? Dinner and a movie?

[Filtered to Hawkins House, after getting a few responses]
Hey, is it okay if we host a cookout to celebrate the end of the school year here at the house? I was thinking either evening on the last day of school, or afternoon the day after the last day. So Friday the 16th or Saturday the 17th.
