vallo

I'd like to request your weirdest Valentine's Day stories, let's see what you all have got.

[ BIG THREE ]

I know neither of you have your significant others here right now, and I'm in whatever weird flux state I am, sooooo pizza and movies tonight?

I don't know who ordered the killer cupids but honestly? Fuck you very much.

Well, judging from the network scrolling I've done, I'm not sure a week is enough time to consider myself "acclimated" to Vallo. But it probably is enough time before I introduce myself.

Hey, Outlanders - Bobbi Morse. Just signed myself up for Defense Team A with the DOA this morning. (Captain Rogers, I hear that means we're working together again. Looking forward to it.) Gotten myself about a dozen bagels from Glenn since I've been here, a couple of new-arrival free drinks from the various bars, and heard some rave reviews about an Italian restaurant in "the Void"? Haven't tracked that down yet, but I will.

Any other suggestions for Vallo musts I should add to the to-do list?

[FILTERED TO FRANCIS BARTON]

Hi. I hope this isn't too weird for you, since we haven't officially met, but I assume you've heard I'm here. Pepper and Tony have told me all about you - and Kate has, too, actually. She's chatty.

I know I'm not the same person as your mom, and I wouldn't dare try to be, but I'd like to get to know you, if you'd be interested in that.

War has been declared on the training grounds. It's a very snowy battle. I invite others to join my team or be buried in snow with James and Francis.

Perhaps I should go into the breakfast business. I could serve a breakfast of champignons at Galdin Quay.

Apologies if that joke takes a little time to grow on you.

It seems these ah- mushrooms with teeth made their way out to our little dock of sunshine at Galdin Quay. They've been dispatched for now but there are a few people with minor injuries and a great deal of cleanup as they caused a considerable amount of chaos. If you're able to come help with a little triage and cleaning, I will feed you once I've retrieved my backup chef's knives from home.


I should clarify before I hear any complaints that I will not feed you mushrooms.

Stay weird, Vallo.

I now own a team set of flying brooms that were made so that anyone could use them. Well, at least anyone with decent balance or practice. The point is, you don't need magic or superpowers. One set isn't enough for organized play, but three on three pick-up games are possible, and they're just fun to fly for flying's sale. Anyone want to learn?

[ EMMELINE ]

Hey, can I ask a secret magic favor? Not secret magic secret, magic for a surprise.

[ FAMILY & FRIENDS* ]

While part of Vallo is living the Black Friday Earth stereotype, Tony and I didn't have to do a single thing for Vallo to get us the best Black Friday deals of our lives.

Morgan Stark and Francis Barton (now the second Francis) are both here. According to the kids, Morgan is five and Francis is three, so Morgan has experienced losing her dad about a year ago, but Francis hasn't lived through any part of Ultron.

We're going to take things slow traffic-wise in the Mansion today and going into the weekend so they can see people they know and adjust to any changes due to time points and timelines, but we're so excited to be able to share them with all of you soon. We'll be making some changes to both our schedules from this point forward, but all SIV projects will continue on schedule, including the Tower.

[ ooc: if you think your character is a friend or family, they are ]

With a visual of the area thanks to Caitlyn, I'm asking defense teams and anyone working to deal with these creatures to meet at the training grounds to go over the plan of attack before we move in. It will also give us a chance to link everyone to comms, keep track of who's going in, and coordinate evacuation and field medics as required. Lets shut this down.

I’m about to drop coordinates to a very specific part of these tunnels — do not go alone, not without a plan. I stumbled upon it and I consider myself fortunate to have not drawn attention to myself considering all that is there. It’s some kind of laboratory that’s in shambles and infested with these creatures, so perhaps this is where they’re all coming from?

There is also a big one. Two big ones but the one I’m specifically referring to is it’s own brand of monstrosity.

[ FILTERED TO FRIENDS & FAMILY ]

So, it's been a weird day. But I'm officially no longer a Hunter.

I went to Artemis' Cabin last night and asked her to renounce my oath because that's not really who I am anymore. I don't know if it was actually Artemis, or Vallo magic or what, but whatever it was seems to have worked. If I had any doubts about it, waking up this morning looking 24 instead of 16 definitely got rid of those.

I'm fine. I've still got a lot of stuff I need to figure out about where I want to go from here, but I don't regret what I did. Just wanted to let everyone know so you don't freak out next time you see me.

Thalia Grace

You gave me a place in a world that had moved on without me.

Guys, I think I'm being stalked by the demon/poltergeist/Tom Hanks?? of Halloween.

I just wanna get off this elevator, that's all.


[ ooc: ha ]


[ IC EDIT TO POST, HALF AN HOUR LATER, STILL PUBLIC ]

Today can quit it anytime now.

I kind of need some magic people who know something about curses on people or object possession or anything like that to come tell me if this teddy bear that David S Pu just showed up is my human best friend and then get him un-fluffed if it is. I swear I'm not crazy, this was a thing we'd turn into back in Blackpoint, or that time in Vallo. But, you know, we could walk and talk those times and this one isn't doing either.

The Galdin Quay restaurant will be opening a little late today, I'm afraid. I've decided to temporarily change the menu in order to annoy my younger self, so should you find your way out there this week to sample the food, I ask that you do not inform him that I am a superior chef.

Or do. It might make for a good challenge.

A friend of mine dug a hole in my garden and filled it with water.

I think he meant well.



So, what's up, past Vallo? I should have known when I woke up and didn't see my wife in existence here, Vallo was having some fun.

Welp. Didn't really account for ~Vallo Chaos~ for the pumpkin carving contest, but everyone's still welcome to come by tomorrow evening if you want/are able. I will accept photo submissions if you can't make it due to *gestures at everything*


JAMES

You ever feel like Vallo is just personally spitting in your face? Don't answer that, I already know the answer. How's Bird Boy?

[ FILTER: FAMILY & FRIENDS (even currently changed) ]

How are we all doing? Any existential crises needing managed? It's An Offspring cigars needed? Food and alcohol requests? Shoulders and/or hugs needed? Secure hiding places with options for any of the above?

[ TEXTS: NATASHA / PEPPER ]

» What do you need?
» "Nothing", "I'm fine", "Don't worry about me", "Other things are more important right now", and other answers like them will be screened for the BS that they are.

Sign-ups for the annual pumpkin carving contest here! Carving party at my place next weekend, anyone welcome! I'll post pictures of everything here on the network for admiration/ridicule as needed.

This is what I come home to at the end of the week from college now in the house of The Big Three.

Thanks, Nico. That song is not stuck in my head at all.

Ásynja Meadery will be expanding, and we will be opening Ásynja Vineyards in the coming months. Stay tuned for more information and a grand opening celebration.

LOKI
Do you have any time soon where I could steal you for dinner?

FREYA
So feel free to tell me to go away if this is weird, but would you want to come to the meadery for a drink some time? On me.

I'll be honest, this is probably not the first time I've had my ass kicked on my birthday.
