vallo

Hello from 2033.
I know there are some anxious people on your end wondering what's been going on - everyone who decided to travel forward with Caleb and Essek have arrived safely and are now situated with us.

As you can see we are able to communicate across the timelines at the moment using the journals some of us managed to keep over the years. If you'd like to check in with your friends and family who travelled feel free to use this entry to do so.

While the journals will be usable for the next while here we are asking for everyone to refrain from spamming too much. All magic usage is a risk, this included. We are also asking that no one mentions any specifics to the plan, the journals on our end will not leave our safe zone, but should we be ambushed here we do not want any details falling into the wrong hands. As well please keep in mind our journal stock is limited and we are all sharing only a handful, your conversations may be viewed by others.

If someone can give me a quick "hey I see this" that would be great. We are fairly confident this should work but let us know for sure.



(( note: timeline wise today this will be written once everyone is back at the outpost and has had enough time to get sorted, so late afternoon/early eveningish ))

Well, this is a nice welcome back.

Sup, I'm Tyler. I was around a couple of times before. Back again in time for the apocalypse? Love it. I'm going to be eating my feelings at Glenn's bagel cart if anyone wants me to take pity on me and buy me some when I run out of cash because I'm broke af.

[ FILTERED TO FRIENDS ]
Torunn, gotta give you my two weeks. I realize I just started last week, but the apocalypse calls? Which brings me to, sorry guys, but I'm on the list. I'll stop by to see people before I head out tomorrow with the wizards.

I'm dealing with something that I want to be up front about. I discovered I'm a Reader now. A mind reader that is. I wasn't at home but this place and its strangeness doesn't seem to care about that. I'm working on my mental shields so I don't just go stomping around inside people's heads. Our brand of reading can be especially invasive. I thought I was doing pretty good, but today was stressful at the DOA office thanks to network trouble and a broken printer and an angry local filing a complaint, so.

I slipped up. Twice. I apologized to the people whose minds I violated, but it still happened and I don't want to pretend there's no chance it'll happen again. I'm looking into farm work in case I can't lock this down fast. Please know that I have no desire to be inside anyone's mind but Tenn uninvited.

Anyway, long story short, today sucked. Kind of wish I was still in a toga learning how to shoot pool.

Okay. Right. Three things:

1. SERIOUSLY?!?!?!
2. Bonnie? Lizzie? Everyone else I know? Who's still around?
3. How is it that I'm at the DOA for literally five minutes and Brenda was already in my space talking about her latest attempt at being her own boss????
4. SERIOUSLY?

Okay so it was four, but number one really needed to be repeated.

I keep trying to write something poetic, but it just comes out sounding pretentious and douchey. I'll miss you, Lexi. You'll always be one of the best friends I've ever had.

I'm drinking copious amounts of alcohol and listening to Bon Jovi if anyone feels like joining.

Well, I don't know how much of this I believe, but the alternative was looking grim so this is considerably more organized than I would expect of such a situation. If people started coming through the hexgate from other worlds, the council would assume it was an attempted coup. I would spend the next six months assuring them that any interruption of trade was negligible and unavoidable. It's not like you can schedule these things.

Anyway, hello. My name is Mel Medarda. I would appreciate direction to the best wine in this strange city and a recommendation for a tailor. I don't know how far this foreign money will spend but I intend to make the best of it.

fucking stupid thing I am certain Nandor has already contracted 10 different curses on this electronic device and WHERE WILL WE GET THE EMAILS FROM

HELLO yes, I am called Nadja! I am a HUMAN WOMAN of a certain HUMAN age who has experienced HUMAN WOMAN things like Sex and the City (should be called Not Enough Sex Too Much City am I right?), talking to BOSS BABE HUNS (tic and tac and taco symbol livingmywhy), and dealing with societal pressures of being the perfect wife, mother, sister, daughter, and friend all in one while working on the hustle and grind (misleading) but not too much working so that the cookies can be baking for a bake sale tomorrow all while earning 82 cents to the dollar!

I have been pretending so well to be a human and it is EXHAUSTING why would anyone be this???????????

HELLO yes, I am looking for my FELLOW HUMANS Laszlo (perhaps you know him as Jackie Daytona, a bartender from Pennsylvania) and Nandor The Relentless.





Also yes alright or our familiar bodyguard Gizmo Buillermo. OH AND THE DOCUMENTARY CREW please tell me they have made it!!!!

When your one hour meeting turns into two because someone has to go on about their latest miracle cure all mlm scam. No, Brenda, I don't want to be a Youngéance rep.

On another note! The Vallo Public Library is hosting two scavenger hunts in the city this Sunday. One is a smaller one aimed for kids and families and other geared towards adults who want to spend their day traipsing all over. Grand prize for the family one is passes to the movies and wave pool, for the adult is a gift basket and dinner gift certificates.

Sup. Fen and I are moving to Castle Whitespire. We've already moved most of our personal stuff, just got a few cat things the little monsters buried around the Cottage that we need to find now. Kady's heading out there with us too and if anyone wants to help move her stuff from the Sanctum over, hit us up cause we're doing that over the weekend.

Marina, you can just send us your housewarming gift instead of showing up for the party later this month. 😉

Boys, don't burn the Cottage down.

[ FILTERED TO NANDOR ]
Hi, you free this Friday night? Got another job for us.

So I just heard about an old vintage style movie theater that's been restored and having a grand reopening this weekend, which is fun. And the prices are really cheap so that's even better. Except it advertises it's going to only show "oldies" which would be great if they weren't counting Back to the Future and Thelma and Louise as oldies.

Really?

You can get your ticket, popcorn, and a drink for $5 though, so it's almost worth being called old over.

LEXI

Drinks and live music tonight? It's no Bon Jovi, but I do know of a place here in town with a local band.

CAROLINE

Thoughts on me cooking dinner for you and the kids sometime this coming week?

[DOA]

Hello, Zuko here.

I traded my tea shop to Eadwulf in exchange for magical services, but he's gone now and his roommate is moving out. Is it possible to reclaim the tea shop?

Thanks.

Milo was showing off for all his admirers this morning at the gym.

[ FILTERED TO CAROLINE FORBES ]
Got time for a boozy brunch?

[ FILTERED TO CALEB WIDOGAST ]
What are you doing for lunch?

I did it. I quit my job. Told Felix he's too much drama and I'd be happier elsewhere and I left and alsfkjalfj

now I'm a little afraid he's going to send a hitman after me but what's done is done and it feels good? Telling people to fuck off feels really good and it took me way too long to figure that out.



I need a new job, taking care of vampires is expensive.

Fuck you very much, Vallo.

[ FILTERED TO NANDOR ]
Flipped that vase we got for a few grand, but I'm up for continuing this for bigger scores if you are, Batman.

You know what would be a great addition to the welcoming committee's spiel? A list of therapists. Now I can't trust any little froggy looking shithead because it might stab me.

RIP boots, you were good to me and protected my ankles.

[ FILTERED TO CAROLINE FORBES ]
Tell me not to tell the latest vampire arrival that I want his semen. Yes, I'm aware I'm a shit-stirrer, which is why I need you to tell me no.

What are you and the kid doing this weekend? I was thinking about hitting Blizzard World while contemplating what to do with my adult life now. Figured the kid would get a kick out of it, while we day drunk.

Hello? They said I could talk to people through this machine. Is this like the e-mail? Do I need to type in my password?

[Very slow tapping noises. A pause. More slow tapping noises.]

Ay, nothing happened! This thing better not curse me! I am meant to be traveling the world on my way to my homeland. How far is this Vallo from the Island of Staten?

Can anyone identify what the hell just tried to go full Jennifer's Body in my shop based on the following characteristics:

- Fire hair
- Red eyes
- Fangs
- Wings
- Half machine half animal legs
- A whole lot of rage

Research tells me it's possibly an Empusa? And can anyone tell me how to kill it because so far nothing has worked.
