vallo

Is this some sort of test
Or...a reality I created?
I'm going to be in so much trouble
I want to go back I want to go back I want to go back
I can't
What if I just break reali

I'm certain everyone says this, but I really can't be here Victor's going to literally destroy this place and. Wherever here is.

I think if I can get access to a few magical tomes, I can do it myself. Or if anyone can open a portal to Latveria?

Great.

Now that my reign of tyranny has come to an end and things feel a bit more normal at home even though it's still, I'm here to do the work thing I was supposed to do days ago. As the kids may or may not say: my bad.

Last year we did a silent auction fundraiser benefiting the Youth Center on New Years Eve. It was a wild success and something that we're now doing again, because why not. I understand this is quite some time out before the holiday hits, but time moves quickly this time of year, or so I've noticed, so here I am. It will still be the optionally fancy affair, but this time we're doing a masquerade for full dramatic effect.

That being said, what I'm really here for is to once again look for donations from individuals and businesses alike to go toward the silent auction. Gift baskets, certificates, experiences, and so on. All of the proceeds do go back to the youth center, to fund facilities and programs. Our hope is to expand to add some additional classrooms and general space eventually.

Anyway. You can reach out at vvessar@vcyc.org or by approaching one of us at the youth center, if you're interested in contributing. Otherwise, clear your schedules and all that. It'll be a good night.

[OOC - You can find a spreadsheet here to put any items you'd like to include for the auction! I'll do another reminder closer to the event.]

It seems that I'm out of practice with the whole battle thing. You help take down one nether brain, take a handful of weeks off in a new world, and suddenly you forget that Misty Step is an option.

That said, I hope that everyone is doing and recovering well. That was something.

KARA DANVERS

I wanted to say thank you, for getting me to the clinic as quickly as you did. I really appreciate the assist, as I know I wouldn't have gotten there without you.

LEON KENNEDY

Thank you for helping Astarion the other day. I like him whole and unsinged, so again: thank you for helping him.

GILMORE

I heard about the shop. Are you all right?

I'm not entirely s If three pre-teens on the street terrorized you, I apologize. We had sticky fingers and a desire to show off for Wanda as we taught her things.

In my possession, I have:
- a curved dagger with a braided hilt
- 7 gold coins that aren't your standard change.
- an embroidered handkerchief
- A very nice fountain pen that I'd like to keep.
- A black and gold pocket watch.
- Leon Orcot, I have your entire wallet.

If any of these belong to you, I'll return them immediately. I'm fairly certain we spent any cash found, but as I don't know the exact amounts and I don't trust half of you to tell the truth, I will offer a blanket flat fee to anyone who was a victim of our terror.

Wanda, I hope you had fun, I know we did.

[CHAOS CREW]

I don't typically I There are I need help packing the flat and I'd rather not hire someone.

And I have to disarm all of the traps first.

[tiny baby Wanda voice post in Sokovian, presumably the device can auto-translate]

Pietro? [...] Pietro. Are you on this? I think the orphanage sent me somewhere strange, and I was not even the one who threw the eggs at the building. It is not fair. I am hiding in a closet. Come find me.

[FILTERED TO EVIE]

Fine don't answer the phone. Just tell me where you are.

[FILTERED TO FRIENDS OF EVIE (I changed my mind she CAN see this)]

If anyone spots her before me, you better bloody say something.

Oi, if you haven't seen the signs, don't forget to wear a costume to fight club this weekend. Best three will get $200 bucks each. The audience will decide, but if you want me to find a few extra votes for you, I am susceptible to bribes. And flattery! Oh and you won't be kicked out if you refuse to wear anything but I will call you a sad sack for the rest of your natural born life, so choose wisely.

[FILTERED TO SEREFIN]

Want to put on our stupidest shoes and jump out of a plane with me for our anniversary?

[OOC: this is your fight club sign up reminder! Remember you can put down 4 of your regular cast and up to 2 more of your future kids cast.]

Last Friday was Night of Ascension, the holy day for my personal death goddess back home, which would make it the fourth that I have observed in one way or another since I have been in Vallo. That's more than I had the chance to celebrate with my spooky brethren back home, which is its own mindfuck to roll around in my brain. Insert something here about getting old, time being a cruel master, so on and so forth.

Though, on the topic of things that I've lived through multiple times since being here: anyone else thinking about how we're halfway through October?

Rumours of my disappearance have been greatly exaggerated.

Just in case anyone missed me.

So that is what kind of Monday it is going to be like, eh? Dragon friend, do not worry, they are all very dangerous and remarkable.

[FILTERED TO ESSEK]

Is there ah- something you wanted to tell me?

Anyone want to fly some cake up to the mountains for me? And I suppose for that man of mine too. I'll tip well.

[FILTERED TO CHAOS CREW + KLAUS HARGREEVES]

Look, I'm not going to ring again but it's taking everything I have so please send proof of life and tell me everything she does, the moment she does it. Cheers.

I know its frowned on to drink at work but I will give pretty much anything you can think of if someone will bring me a bottle of something. Because it is way too early in the week for this much chatting.

So I have been here a couple of days now, and I'm in need of recommendations: where's the good clubs going on? I need some relaxation.

Hey assholes don't forget that Fight Club is on Saturday at the Underground.

Yeah, it's a fight club, the title is what it is.

No, you can't use your fantastic amazing life changing magic, I don't make the rules I only enforce them.

Yeah, you will probably not win on your first attempt or even tenth attempt, whatever, get over it and shut up, we all have a good time.

If you have questions, someone will probably answer them.

God, I'm fucking amazing at PR.

Chaos Crew

Lila and I were thinking about going away for the weekend of our birthday, and we don't trust anyone but you guys to watch Gracie. It's a lot to ask, but she's also the best fucking baby ever and she's comfortable with you all.

You idiots can say no, it's fine, we'll just take her with us.

Fuck
I don't accep
Trinket is g
She's

FRIENDS

Just humor me and tell me you're fucking here.

One of the kids at the center alerted me that this is bisexual month. (Color and italics required, I don't make the rules.) They explained there's an awareness week and a visibility day coming up, so they figure that means we should get the whole month and frankly, I agree.

Let's go, fellow bisexuals. September is our month. Maybe October too, on account that I really like Halloween.



Okay okay, I'll share October and the Halloween joy. November, though? I'll report back.

To whoever sent the edible arrangement, please know that was incredibly thoughtful of you. Really, just so selfless and kind. I have a feeling it was sent from someone who is only soft and truly considers me to be a close, loving friend and confidante. Rest assured that Trinket and I ate the shit out of it.

Anyway, I'm truly bored. I don't know what was promised to Rodrigo, but I have never been bossed around more by an Unseen Servant. Tell me tales of the outside, because I fear I'll be laid up in this bed forever, if this floating vest has anything to say about it.





And, you know, kraken fucking suck and yeah okay thanks, Diego, for making sure I didn't get eaten by one for the second time in my bloody existence and have to have another meeting with my goddess. Also trying to decide if this means I should eat more or less seafood?
