I know you've all heard the announcement of Daud's passing by now. I was the unlucky one to find him; I've seen a lot of death, but this might be one of the toughest ones yet. "Dad" was the best of the best, and so many of us wouldn't have been half the pilots we are without him

Whatever gods, beings, or forces you believe in, turn to them now for Daud. Echoing command, if anyone has any theories on what may have happened, come forward, and let's get this solved.

listen up humies. there's apples in the mess hall today and I'm gonna need every one of you to give me yours. you'll be donating to a GOOD CAUSE if you catch my drift.

oh and groot says he'll trade for cheese balls. he's got like three ship credits to his name though I'm just saying.

Hey, does this guy belong to anyone? He might just be a stray or whatever the bird equivalent is of that, but I thought I'd check while he's chilling in my backyard. It's been a weekend of getting pets back, so I figure you never know?

SO, Daud's translated-into-our-months birthday is tomorrow, and I was thinking we should do dinner over at the house. I'm planning on sweet-talking Yelena into helping me make pirozhki.

[PRIVATE MESSAGE TO DAUD]

Dinner tomorrow night? You're welcome to help cook if you want, but we're doing something for your birthday. You deserve it.

[FILTERED AWAY FROM THE REVENANTS & EVILS]

So, the DOA and network scrolling caught me up. I know there is SO MUCH going on right now — hi everyone, I hope you're staying safe and have food and aren't being tracked down by evil people — but waking up in a pile of leaves in the forest and finding out you disappeared for two weeks is still jarring as hell.

[PRIVATE TO YELENA BELOVA]

Yelena, Nat's gone and you're not here and I'm trying to st your bird is being so needy. Where's Licorice? No way he just disappeared, he's a Vallo cat. And is there a MAN staying at the house? There's a lot of man stuff here but no man. Don't tell me you suddenly moved a man in here. You can't have been that lonely.

Private Message to Nikolai

Hey Prince Charming. Word is you guys had a big rescue mission yesterday.

How'd it go?

Uh so is it always like this around here? Chaotic but quiet all at once?

I'm Violet. They told me I wasn't being held hostage and the mender dropped me off at the place where they gave me money? But I'd rather find my dragons. So if you see a giant black dragon followed around by a smaller black dragon, let me know? Neither of them are very good at being well-behaved if they think I'm in danger.

It has been a while since I first brought this up, so please forgive me for the tardiness, however: the first meeting of Queer Magic Women has been scheduled. If you fall under that header one way or another and would like to spend some time with us to talk, discuss magic, and maybe show off some of the previous, we will be meeting at Freya's Sanctuary on this upcoming Sunday the 21st at 4PM. Wine and snacks will be provided, but don't hesitate to bring your own or something to share.

Should this take off, we'll look into making it a monthly or so occurrence, depending on what schedules look like.

I'm looking forward to getting to meet some more of you! And of course, I would be remiss not to say once more, thank you to Freya for offering your space!

I suppose I should officially introduce myself on this Network now that I'm all settled in and have received my requisite hour of incomprehensible Edwin Courcey explanation. Though I suppose neither I nor anyone trying to make some sort of immersive illusion could have managed to make that feel quite so authentic. I swear, he's the only man I know who could make "space-time continuum" and "travelling to an alternate dimension" put me to sleep.

In any case, my name is Violet Debenham. I see we're all very open about ~*~magic~*~ here, so I may as well get it out of the way that I'm a magician, and an actress. And I suppose this might be a nice vacation from real life, at least for a little while even if Edwin said he's been here for nearly two yea

I understand that there is a group that meets here for queer women that use various styles of weaponry. I love this for all of you and fully support the continued existence of such a place to hang out and have camaraderie.

However, I am useless with a weapon. I stabbed at an intellect devourer once and I think that I might have hurt myself more in the effort and only succeeded in tickling it, so I've since given up and rely entirely on my magic. Best for everyone, though apologies if you turn into cats again or, I don't know, summon a cambion. (Do cambions exist in this world? Perhaps we'll get lucky.)

Anyway, all of that to say that I'd like to suggest or create a sister group, if there isn't one already, for queer women that wield magic. I have no doubt that there will be crossover as I have to assume that there are others more skilled than myself that juggle both, but I am still fairly new here and I thought this may be a nice way to meet others and also just have some conversation, possible demonstration, and drinks, if you partake.

If there is interest, please let me know here and I'll organize a time and place and we can discuss the food and drink aspect to go with.
