Right. So....

I beat Keith when we took the lions out this morning and when we landed he told me it was because, and I quote "the better pilot". And then he told me my hair looked good. Anyways, long story short I've got Keith in a holding cell in the Castle. He's fine. It's just debatable if it's really him.

Will the real Keith Kogane please stand up?

TEXTS TO FREYA.

» I always felt like being without my twin was similar to missing a body part. This sensation of being incomplete, I suppose.

At home, the longest day of the year would be marked by Summerfest. The puppeteers would put on elaborate plays, and the minstrels would play long after the sun went down. Bonfires would be built at sundown, and young men and some young women, many of whom had had more drink than sense, would try to jump over them in the believe that Eda would bless the harvest the higher they jumped. There'd be feasting, both in Buckkeep Town and up at the castle, and the drink would run free.

As a lad I'd always been more keen on Springfest and Winterfest, but it's been some time since the last time I celebrated a Summerfest. The traditions here are different, but I occasionally would see echoes of home, not least because there was a celebration at all.

I'm under the impression that the longest day of the year is celebrated across worlds, which makes me wonder what the celebrations are like in other universes.

I know these hands are terrible. Definitely gross. Probably annoying.

But Deathripper is just so violently happy? It's hard not to be happy for him? Living his best helhound life, sometimes with a sibling team up. He's the best boy.

Where's Orym of the Air Ashari? He's from Emon (where's that?) and he's dwarf-height or shorter, and he kicked enough ass to be worth 10,0000 gold, apparently.

Not asking because I'm turning him in; do I care about mortal currency? I do NOT. I'm just impressed. That's a lot of theft. There are wanted posters up in the forest for him, which was new. Thought you guys should know that that's a thing now in case someone's looking for him.

Unrelated to all the crime: summer. I'm going to really hone my shirtless basking skills this year. If you need something blessed, wear shades, because the glistening is gonna be real.

If anyone notices a heavier amount of greenery and flora around the clinic, don't mind me... I may suddenly be having the time of my life with what I guess is some kind of temporary power? I'm growing plants. Yes, there are a lot of lilies, and that's because I really like lillies.

This is an AMAZING feeling! I knew someone back in my world who had this kind of power. Only difference was that she was kind of.. a villain.

Hey, does anyone who knows anything about plants mind answering some questions?

If a plant that didn't useta have leaves starts growing leaves, does that like... uh.. mean something?

okay so there's this GUY and i saw him and he has a HUGE SWORD LIKE IT'S SO BIG and idk guys with big swords definteyl have like cool MOVES and i wanna know if he's like a bad guy or a good guy or if we gotta fight him so i wanna like follow him around to see if he does anything COOL with the sword because he has to rite? so who is gonna come with me to follow him because like i don't NEED HELP but if you wanna see some cool stuff i bet this guy will do it and then we fite him or we ask if we can hold the sword

FILTERED TO WANDA:
I was told today was a day to celebrate Mothers for most people here. I hope you are having a wonderful day then, and that those boys of yours are giving you all the love. I'm sure you've been enjoying having them little again.

[ FILTERED TO CAROL, WANDA, & GAMORA ]
i have spent the last day sobering up and reflecting on my actions over the last couple of days.

i was foolish. and rash. and very emotional. the raincloud following me around gave that part away, i suppose. but i apologize to all of you because i realize after jacob's lecture that i was being selfish and entitled and that you are all very good people that were only trying to help.

so i have killed a few boars for you and your families in penance and am working on cooking the meat as i speak. i will come visit your homes shortly with my apologies in person, unless you would prefer i never speak to you again!

[ FILTERED TO OLDER THOR'S FAMILY & FRIENDS ]
hello. thank you for your hospitality, but i am feeling very useless and that is not a great feeling. SO! are there any blood feuds that i can help? quests? duties of older me?

i require MEAD. however much a pouch full of gold coin or a favor from a son of odin will get me. i have none of your fancy paper bills or cards of credit so do not ask for any.

If anyone would like to watch a fight being a Goddess versus a Pegasus, come down to New Asgard! It's 0 for 2 for being tossed off the saddle, decidedly not in Torunn's favour at the moment, but I think she's starting to gain its trust.






Oh. Nope. There she goes again. 0-3.

And no, no Valkyries have been spotted, but we have a fresh batch of pollack at the market!

Welcome back to our returning heroes! Now that everyone has had a minute to see their loved ones, as promised to Commander Shiro and Captain Sam, New Asgard will be hosting a feast full of roasted fowls and vegetables from the newly regrown (magical) community garden here. There will be other dishes as well for those that prefer something other than the flesh of our enemies, but we always welcome anything else you'd like to bring with you!

I will also be providing meads, ales, and wines. So if you have some time this evening, come celebrate being reunited with our friends and family. And bring chairs! (Some villagers had to...improvise weapons.)

I am honored to report that in 2033, we have ended the threat of Interitus for all Vallo timelines. Many are injured, but we are now able to focus on healing rather than destruction.

May fortune smile upon you in 2023 at least as much as it has smiled upon us here. We travelers will see you soon.

Please use this page to check in with your friends and family as needed.

New Asgard is under attack.

The geese return and they return with a vengeance. If you are uninjured from yesterday's events and are not under siege from these geese yourself, please come assist. The helhounds and fighters in the village are holding them at bay for now, but their numbers seem to be increasing.

Shiro, I am rerouting half of Team B to assist here, but the rest are on their regular patrol shifts and picking up the slack of those in New Asgard or elsewhere.

EDIT 1: THEY ARE ARMED WITH A FLAMETHROWER AND KNIVES AND HAVE INCREASED IN NUMBERS EXPONENTIALLY. AIR SUPPORT AND WATER TYPES, REQUESTED.

EDIT 2: DAUD DO NOT RETURN TO YOUR DWELLING. IT IS NO LONGER A DWELLING, BUT AN ENEMY STRONGHOLD.

EDIT 3: THE STABLES ARE GONE. AS IS THE COMMUNITY GARDEN. TORUNN HOLDS STRONG AT THE BELL TOWER AND DAUD FIGHTS FIERCELY FOR THE VILLAGE SCHOOL.

EDIT 4: PEACE WAS NEVER AN OPTION. TALKS OF A TRUCE HAVE FAILED.

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 ))

If you heard explosions from New Asgard, don't worry! Everything's fine!

Unrelated, who has experience with training powerful little girls to be responsible with their abilities? Bribing this one with waffles and chocolate milk doesn't work.

Beware, there are sweets falling from the sky with instructions. A roof does not seem to matter. If anyone would like several bags full of "sing in the street" sweets, I appear to be collecting more every few hours.

Happy Wednesday!
Have a very colorful Monty.



And a riddle from the kids that I am sad to admit took me way too long. I blame not getting my second cup of coffee before they bombarded me with the tough questions this morning.

What starts with an E, ends with an E and only has one letter in it?

So now that things have calmed down, I wanted to say I've started teaching a class about Jötnar painting methods at the Art of Expression. If anybody's interested in painting directly on wood and making paints and generally getting your hands dirty. Oh and listening to a person who usually only teaches tricks to four-legged creatures? That should be fun! Or a disaster? A fun disaster!

Um. So. My house is here? Jalla just carried me right there by scent. It's a little off in a corner but still on Sanctuary land. You're all welcome of course! I mean assuming Loki doesn't need this corner for something else in which case I can figure out how to move my house. Maybe I can give it legs! I hear that's a thing around here.
