vallo

Okay, well, last thing I remember, it was November, and it's - not anymore. I guess Vallo decided to kick me out for a little while.

So, hi (again), everyone.

[PRIVATE MESSAGE TO FEN]

Hi you. Miss me?

Is it terrible that I'm already hooked on Serendipity Hills?

That whole may you live in interesting times curse? I understand exactly why it's a curse.

Be careful out there, everyone. Probably going to postpone the usual meetings tonight (Death Club, we'll see you next week with donuts) because I, personally, have been on standby at the clinic for awhile. On a scale from Raining Candy to Murder Turkeys we're only at about a 5 or 6, but I'd like to keep it that way. As in - not too dire.

Pop over if you need me for anything, stitches or Snooze Room related.

That was NOT the way I wanted to be in a coffin and I bet you're all wondering why I I have a perfectly reasonable explanation for Vampires are real I was supposed to be

Uh so we're supposed to introduce ourselves here? I'm Guillermo, I um arrived yesterday, and thank you to everyone that brought uh me in! You could have just opened it though I appreciate the care of making sure I wasn't going to burn up with the sun just in case but nope, nothing like that here. Just me. Guillermo. Normal human being, trapped in a coffin.

When it comes to work do we just-- find a place and apply? Are there any special hoops we need to jump through?

But WHY does the bone holiday have to be over??

( This is to save you in case you're at work against smol!Diego's language )

I've never seen so many kids in my life. We didn't have them on the Ninth, save Harrow and I - genocide necromancy spell, long story, very downer - but it's nice seeing them running about here and now!

If anyone wants an Auntie Gideon to watch their niblets, I have zero experience with kids, I live off junk food and I'll probably try to benchpress them, but I don't mind giving new and doting parents a break anyhow.

How are we doing with all this? I ask because I'm all over the map of the known world with it.

Good news, I'm in a sling and it's leg day so with practice and precision I can kick my attackers to death until I get full range of motion back in my arm. Or squeeze them with my thighs but I don't know that the sexual violence is my thing???

Which is to say that I feel much better, and thank you for taking such good care of me.

You can figure this how you want, but he did it on purpose. He was a right asshat talking to me beforehand and when he couldn't hurt my feelings properly he used magic to hurt me physically.

I've seen that shit before and Anyhow. I don't know what it looked like from a distance but from up close, it was intentional as balls.

What the fuck is wrong with y

( FILTERED TO OSTYIA'S FRIENDS )

I've come up with a few new recipes while I have a bit of downtime today. Would anyone be interested in another taste-testing evening next week? I'll host something in our apartment.

I am simple when it comes to requirements for attending; I prefer testers that are open-minded and willing to try anything and put a little trust in me, ones that enjoy food and are willing to try something new, and ones that are adventurous when going out to eat. But I am also open to critique and will have anonymous opinion cards for each plate.

This is to help me plan out the fall menu at Galdin Quay so it will lean towards squashes, pears, soups, heavy sauces, darker wines, etc.

And yes, Noctis, there will be two salad options that you have to try.

[FILTERED TO SARA & EVIE'S FRIENDS]

Right so, who's available for a bit of moving help, then? Sara and I are shifting two apartments worth of things to one of the other flats in Morningside sometime over the next week or two.

I've been told it's customary to bribe with pizza and beer, so consider this a bribe of pizza and beer. If I have to move to threats next, I can.

Y'all! Nearly five years ago I met the most serious, terrifying, and wondrously kind human being. He went from being my hockey captain to my friend to my boyfriend to my fiancé to my husband (!!!) and I couldn't be happier to spend another birthday with him! First birthday of yours while we're married, honey! ♥ He doesn't like a big show, so I promise I will not talk about all his best qualities for pages, but I do have them at the ready and will break them out without warning!

With that said, I'm offering maple-sugar-crusted apple pie (his favorite!) to anyone who says happy birthday to my husband, Jack Bittle-Zimmermann today! I want everyone to celebrate! 🥰

OKAY BUT SERIOUSLY people, why did no one go "hey Nav, drop that broadsword and go listen to Depeche Mode" when I first arrived??? Have you lot ever perceived my vibe?? I just discovered them in my stream player thingy and let me tell you, EXCELLENT, PERFECTION, WONDERFUL, NEARLY as good as titties but NOT QUITE

New sub-department of the Welcoming Committee: all they do is give you a playlist of bops based on your aura

You're very welcome for the idea; pay me in snacks.

There's something deeply satisfying about shooting giant cicadas. The resulting mess, not so much. Keep your mouths closed and covered if you're in the midst of it.

Sorry I've been hiding out. I miss y Are you okay?

[FILTERED TO FRIENDS]

Tell me that one of you has some sort of knowledge about religious magical relics. Better yet, if your knowledge applies to the bones of ostensible saints.

[FILTERED TO FRIENDS]

Oi, it's short notice but I've got a little graduation ceremony thing on Wednesday evening before I'm officially a firefighter. You don't have to come. You can buy one of those animal shelter calendars we're supposed to be doing instead and I'll consider myself properly congratulated.

I just wanted to say something so Evie didn't give me grief later for not telling anyone. Cheers.

Greetings! Dr. Hank McCoy here, and I come with a query posed to the masses.

Recently I discovered the school I was formerly Headmaster of (Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters - renamed to be the Jean Grey School for Gifted Youngsters) found its way to a section of the forest, close to the city line but still nestled within the trees, plenty of space around it. I don't aim to re-open it as a school (we have many educational institutions already, which is wonderful to see!) but would instead, potentially, focus on the Danger Room? There would be sessions available for all ages, of course, children and adults - various training exercises would be offered, and any powers are encouraged depending on the scenario (some allow the trainee to focus on other ways to come out on top of a situation without using powers).

With summer right upon us, I thought it would be beneficial! For both parents and their offspring, or anyone who would like to get in some extra training. Holographic simulations and artificial environments are mainly how the training exercises are offered; there's also always an 'observer' in the control booth to ensure safety and proper function of the mechanisms in place. Eventually I hope to do some upgrades but that's a whole other endeavor.

Would there be any interest in a Danger Room program being set up?
