vallo

I realize that I should have introduced myself some time ago here, but this place has been fairly exciting these last few weeks, and there's been a lot to adjust to. Is it always like this?

But hello. I am Vision. I know some of you, and others of you know me, or some version of me. It's a pleasure to meet you all, including all of you who are visiting from the future.

Hello again, my old friends. I appear to have undergone a temporal contretemps. I am confident, if a little woeful, that it will be temporary - pun almost certainly not intended - but for as long as it lasts I should very much like to see you all again, should you have the time. I will of course not share any details regarding your personal futures unless you ask - far aside from being potentially distressing, I am not altogether certain it might not cause a paradox, even in Vallo.

Amazing how accostumed one becomes to things; I remember in my first year here how incredible all technology seemed to be, and now how terribly outdated everything is! And to think it has only been a century and a half; how quickly all worlds turn. I might write a poem about it.

Okay, so like, back when there were less of you, I meant to post this and now its 9 days before the day, and I have become frantic but I need to figure this out before I drag Carol with me to go shopping.

And also, since there's more of you, maybe I'll get some ideas! Maybe some future people can also help by conveniently remembering something for your past about it!

I need Halloween costume ideas. For me, they're usually a great way to cosplay at school, and my go-tos are usually Captain Marvel and Black Widow, of course. One time I also did a female genderbent version of Iron Man and was all psyched to wear it until Zoe Zimmer did one too and it looked way cuter on her so in a fit of rage, I didn't wear it. (Disclaimer: Zoe and I are cool now, she helped me out a whole lot recently.)

Now I know characters are sometimes the way to go but we also live in a world where those same characters you thought were fictional are actually here or you just met your real life hero. So, what's something else you'd go for without making it awkward for anyone?

Filter: Peter Parker

If you became a baby or an old guy, I'm going to be mad and send noor light right through your window.

As previously mentioned today, Halloween is almost here! Which means Sabrina's birthday is almost here, which she is choosing to ignore Samhain is almost here.

Looking for something to do that day? Don't forget that Vallo will be busy with Samhain traditions, both public and private (for anyone in a coven or with special invites). If anyone is interested in going around to different Samhain events during the day, before heading out to some clubs for the night, let me know. Sabrina and I are looking to get a group together to adventure for the day.

I've spent the last like twenty four hours or whatever drowning in jalapeno poppers, pizza, and my weight in tacos. This is probably super surprising to everyone but it literally only made me feel worse. So I'm going to try something else. Suki really enjoyed making hats for Unagi, so maybe it would be cool if everyone just dropped pictures of their pets dressed up? I don't know. I just think maybe something to make us smile might be good.

TEAM AVATAR
I think I'm going to go throw Boomerang around for a bit. But I'll be back later if you still want to pile on?

Okay first, good luck to everyone involved in the race this weekend!! Ronan and Gansey are racing and Adam and I are in the pit crew! :)))))))) I've been reading up on the best snacks for concentration and focus and then I just bought a whole bunch of things that are easy to eat while going at INSANE speeds and taking SHARP turns better than ANYONE ELSE EVER and then WINNING by a LOT.

(that's my trash talk, everyone, I know, lolololololololololol it's so bad)

Also, I bought a whole lot of these NOT for the race but because I thought it could be mega fun to have a bonfire and have these and taste test them against actual s'mores? And I love a s'more like CRAZY, my fave is to use rice krispies treats instead of graham crackers, and peanut butter cups instead of marshmallows. Plus, autumn is in the air and some of the best treats come out at this time. Next weekend, maybe?

But also...let's be real, I'm down for a s'mores party at any time. :)))))))))

I am taking suggestions for a date. If you were a picky vampire slayer who likes to complain when vampires are being vampires, where would you like your vampire lover to take you? And do not say bowling. We already do that. And not romantic flights over the city either. We already do that too. Does renovating a disaster pit of a house count as a date? Ay, anyway. Dinner dates are just me watching him eat and wanting to bite him so I need fresh ideas! I will pay you. Probably. Or I could hypnotize someone into giving you money. It is the same thing.

My guardian's house is here.  Everything is exactly as I remember it, including the harpsichord in tune and ready for me to play it.  I missed that. His drawing supplies are here, so I can do some sketching.  There's an amazing kitchen for me to cook in too.  It's amazing. and lonely and scary

If I searched for 'are housewarming parties still a thing?' - it might just end up on here anyway.   So I'll just ask.  Would any of you come if I had a housewarming night?  No gifts required, just a simple, get together, so I can show off my new place.

I found a shiny thing in the forest earlier, felt like a good luck omen, next thing you know there's a half dozen Yanjingi warriors, which is very much not good luck... Anyway, I think I.... set them on fire? They went up pretty quick, so I'm not too torn up about it and not entirely convinced they were real, but I did that how, exactly? My money's on the shiny thing.

I woke up to keys on my side table and a new shiny car that goes with the keys by Lux. So, I guess Vallo decided to give me a car.

Which means I need to finally learn how to drive.

I kind of wish I'd gotten another animal instead. Even if its a very pretty car.

I'm making an ice cave down by the lake until this passes.

Maze is due to have her puppies in the middle/end of July. She's going to have five puppies and Thor is getting two because they're apparently Hell/Hel puppies. Maze wants to keep one.

So I'll have two to good homes in about November? Maybe October, depending on when they're born. But is anyone interested? Be warned that they are creatures of Hell/Hel, no clue how big they'll grow, and they need to run a lot, may need to feed on blood/souls. Animal blood is fine.

We've gotten a lot of new people and had too many people lea and I know the intro video goes over a lot of places, but I know there's some that people don't always find out about until they've been here awhile and are usually blown away by! So! I think most of these are a big deal if you're from a version of Earth but even those of us not from it have found these places to be really cool to go to.

Atlantis: The lost city of Atlantis is here. It's underwater and where the Atlanteans live. You can visit it by passing through a checkpoint on [IDK REMEMBER THE NAME] beach. You might even change into something like a merperson while you're down there.

The Great Library of Alexandria: big library. I think for most of us its destroyed on our earth's. But its here and you can get a library card to go peruse it

Theme parks: Blizzardworld and Critical Role Land. We had Disney but it was only for a few days.

There's also a dinosaur island but I'm pretty sure that's still blocked from visitors.

What else would you guys recommend for newbies to go take a look at?

Bonfire tonight (after the musical) at Moowich Cove. BYOB, I'll have pizza, soda, and junk food. Aang's fault. (And Zuko.)

Hi! So the baby bison aren't so BABY anymore and they need to practice flying with passengers more. The problem is they're VERY easily distracted so their flights tend to be uhhhhh erratic?? I'm doing my best to get them all some air time each week when I'm not at the Sanctuary, but I could use a little help. Anybody with flying experience would be great! The ability to float or control the elements would probably work well too. Or just even anybody who won't DIE if they fall from the sky?? Not that you will for sure fall from the sky! Boshay hasn't dropped me at ALL yet. He does really like to dive though haha ANYWAY.

Thank you?!

Happy May to everyone in Vallo! And happy seventeen years of being alive to meeeeee! I started my day with eating cake for breakfast and I have zero regrets. Doubly happy that some people are back to being themselves too!

[ The camera flips on and you can see someone leaning slightly out of frame. Large wings sprout from her back. She appears to be speaking to someone before she pops back into frame and sticks her round face EXTREMELY close to the camera. She looks a little nervous and fidgets slightly. ]

Oh jingles! You're sure this will help me talk to people? Okay...um.

Hi! [ a small wave ] If anyone is seeing this, my name is Tinker Bell. Queen Clarice? Anyone? I don't know how I got here. .... Or where here is.

Hello, Zuko he. I've done most of the prep work so my first announcement is that next month I plan to re-open my Uncle's tea shop - but since there's already several good tea shops out there and I'm not great at making t, this place is going in a different direction.

It's being rebranded as an ice cream and boba shop. I haven't settled on a name yet. And I need to hire people who know ice cream and boba to help out, if anyone's looking for work. The building work has been largely completed, so the hard part is over. Who knew cooling systems cost so much?

But anyway. Uh. That's it. Thanks.

OKAY people let's play a game: what's the crappiest super power you've heard of? ( The rules are as follows )
