vallo

Moment of appreciation for my favorite person, who continues to tolerate my mediocre guitar playing skills and doesn't question it when I insist on dragging his ass out of bed early for a full day of playing into valentines day consumerism. I'm not sorry about stealing your bacon at breakfast, though.

[FILTERED TO MAGIC PEOPLE & SURIT.]

Are any of you adept at dealing with the mind? I guess it would be considered magical to you. Magical minds. I just need to know how fucked I am if something goes sideways. I have a few small questions, minuscule even, but I figured one of you would be able to answer.

[ FAM & FRIENDS ]

I can't possibly thank you enough for making this day special. I truly would have been happy with a card and cake while Hell is so literally being visited upon these poor people.

OH MY GOD.

This isn't sustainable. To all those feeling soul-crushing guilt, I beg of you, let me get rid of it. I had to call out of work (fine) and couldn't even get an iced coffee (NOT FINE) without getting locked into a haze of someone's outsized self-loathing. Either get help for your trauma or stay away from me. I think my head's going to explode.

The next person to have an episode in my vicinity is getting manipulated. Trust me, it'll be more pleasant for us both.

Heroes, fix this. It's what you do. Christ.

Well then.

Some of you types more sensitive to the coming and goings of the world may have felt something a bit off this morning when you rose. Moreso than usual I would suppose. It would seem Vallo has expanded its collection of Hells to include my domain.

And before you ask, no I did not ask for or summon it here. I'm sure some of you nerds enjoy bringing your work home with you but have you seen that throne? I'm lucky not to have a flat arse after all these centuries.

Right. I would advise any of you feeling guilt over that muffin you cheated with this morning to stuff it in the bag with the discarded wrappings and dispose of the lot. Also keep an eye on dead bodies...except vampires and zombies. I think. I suppose they are fairly similar concepts to demons possessing the dead...

In other words, please do not poke the Hell if you can help it and should you need any assistance with its presence causing issue, myself or Rory would be best to ask.

[RORY]

Perhaps I should have asked before volunteering but knowing this lot and their penchant for wining, dining, and trying to mount trouble, I will need all the help I can get with someone familiar with the place.

My sense of direction has been questionable at times, but I didn't think it was possible to have landed so far off from my intended destination. Fortunately, I did not have to wander too long before I was greeted by a delightful young man who informed me of the situation I find myself in and even helped me find lodgings for the foreseeable future.

This place seems as good as any for a fresh start.

That 'Welcome to Vallo' video is even better the second time around.

Anybody know anything about trains and train tracks? Thinking about making a big Polar Express across the barns and I can dream that shit but I don't want to fuck up my farm.

Another glorious day, eh?

Though, coming home after getting slashed up by a monster was much improved by watching Bonnie living her best Disney Princess life talking with all the animals.

KATE

How's the head?

I owe you a drink after this is all over for covering my ass out there.

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.

What's something you've always wanted to do, but just haven't yet? And why? If it's not too personal--if it is, you can just send cute animal pics.

Gangsey

I remember.

I'm going to go for a walk, I think.


((here there will be Greywaren spoilers, y'all))

I haven't met many since I arrived here, so where does one meet others here in Vallo? I'm not the bar kind and I'm not the best at dancing. I prefer moonlight, books and good conversation. I realize this sounds like one of those dating ads, but I assure you it's not. I'm just looking to meet new and like-minded people.

Happy Halloween/Samhain!

Don't forget to check out all of the activates going on across the city today, from Halloween parties to Samhain rituals. A few possibilities:

🎃 Silniara has a haunted corn maze. It's not actually haunted, the monsters are usually coven members and volunteers so please don't retaliate against any of the people who try and scare you.
🎃 Ankou is in their element today, expect block parties and a lot of spirits to talk to.
🎃 Geliara has a carnival going on at the school.
🎃 Salie has a themed baking classes going on throughout the day.


And a whole lot of other things. If you're invited to a covens Samhain ceremony tonight, please remember to be respectful of their traditions and practices.

Don't forget to light a jack-o-lantern to ward away the unwelcomed spirits (so I'm told).

Feel free to drop any other activities going on in the comments.

For anyone who's curious, I did not manage to convince Seren to change his costume. He is a pair of pants. And Enzo is a shirt.

I'd like to register a complaint, Vallo. On account of this whole being late thing which I absolutely hate.

I have no idea what's going on here but I know my little niece was with me and now she's not. I'll do whatever you want if you give her back to me. She's practically my little sister and my big sister will kill me if I lost her daughte

Please. I just want Monique back.

Hi, okay, I have the following things:

--a knitted scarf and hat set (olive color, pom pom on the top)
--someone's keys (car, I think)
--an energy drink (it's not bad, I've had many of this brand)
--tissues (important given the events taking place today)
--lip balm (vanilla mint and strawberry)
--a library book (privacy prevents me from telling you the title)

Oh wait hold on
--a sword (not mine, weirdly???)

If you're looking for any of these, you know what to do.

Or. You don't because, hi. Owen Sargent. If you are my parents, please sent a message when it's okay to come home. Maybe send a few. I just found the Library and it's singing its siren song to me.

Not an actual siren, that only happened once.

Hi. I'm Adam Parrish.

I'm lost I woke up in a big strange house and Is anyone else looking for people who know them? How do I tell my parents where I am? They'll get mad if I
