This stupid place can eat an entire bag of dicks.

Well I still feel like absolute horse dung.

Very handsome horse dung, but still.

The shakkan seems okay so far but I don't dare check with magic in case I do something. At least it doesn't need much water. If I accidentally kill a centuries old tree with magic plague I'm going to be really upset.

And by the way, when I was a kid some stupid witch poured her experimental potions into the sewers and it ended up killing a lot of people, including her, so unless it wasn't already bleedingly obvious I really really don't recommend that sort of thing.

Is it fixed yet? I'm tired of feeling like this. I haven't had a cold since I was a pre-teen. Uuuuuuugh.

After a few delays and false starts, I finally went through with it and bought a houseboat! I’ll be slowly moving my things from my apartment onto the boat over the next few days. I’ve missed living on the water so much!

Now I just need a name. I was thinking “Remember Yesterday” or “Still Waters”

I don’t know, though. I’m not very good at naming things.

If you are up for it, I would like to have you over for dinner on my new boat.

Private Message to Briar Moss

Hello, Briar! Would you like to come see my new boat?

Okay, so! Things I have figured out being here so far:

✨ Emojis. Maybe I should say this phone but I feel like emojis are sort of a crowning achievement for me.

✨ Car doors. Way more complicated than they look. Worse than those circle doors that only turn one way. If you pull on the handle at the wrong time they don't unlock. But also sometimes they just unlock or lock whenever. I didn't even see the driver push the button, but he looked really annoyed when I asked so I just sort of stopped. But I think I got it now.

✨ Microwaves. Not a fan. Does anyone else feel like they're kind of yelling at you if you don't pull out your food in time? Also they're not very good cooks.


Things I am still trying to get a handle on:

✨ Washing machines. I feel like the bathtub works for now, you know?

✨ A job. Right, so I'm a really good cook and if someone would like to enlist my services, I would be really grateful.

✨ Friends. Where do people "hang out"? Is that weird to put "hang out" in quotes? It's just I haven't really had friends until I went on this quest but there's like... I'm also good not questing you know? So


I'm feeling really good about this. Like really good.

In exactly one month, I'm going to be 18. THE BIG ONE EIGHT! One month left of me being underaged and being limited in what I can do without guardian permission and afterwards?

... afterwards, I'll likely still be getting guardian permissions, LBR, this is just something that's kinda carry over from my own parents' household. You don't suddenly become your own adult at 18, for brown parents

BUT ANYWAY, before that, I'm going to hit one year of being here in like 12 days. What are the standards for celebrating that day? Is it usually celebrated or is it sometimes met with "aw hell it's been a year, why am I still here?" I would assume not too many would be thinking that because Vallo basically takes all the bad from previous worlds and tosses it out (bigotry, xenophobia, etc) while the bad you usually deal with here are zombie mammoths or something which are still better than dealing with bigotry.

You'd think I'd be helpful in this particular situation, but whatever magic it is making the plants affect people, it doesn't react to mine at all. Maybe just don't touch anything growing out of the ground for a while? And I'd steer clear of Sutton Cottage until it's over, considering the abundance of roses we've got. I'll be taking my own advice; If I get stuck in a true-love's-kiss situation I'm really in trouble.

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?

( Roach was pretending not to be frightened. )

Oh my! What an experience! I can't say that I would ever choose to switch places with my child self. But now at least I can say that I have some happy memories where there weren't many before. Thank you everyone who took the time to watch out for the younger versions of us all!

Thank you both very much for letting my younger self stay with you the past few days. You both were very kind and I hope I...that is she... wasn't too much trouble (or got under foot too much). As a thank you, I'd like to treat you both to dinner. I can either cook for you at my apartment, or we can go out. Your choice!

Briar? Are you back as well?

I'll take disconcerting experiences I'd rather not repeat for $100, Alex.

[Lydia Martin]

So. That was a thing.

Well, as Katou would say, shit.

I apologise to anyone who was insulted, injured or robbed by my younger self over the last few days. I won't make excuses, since I we he didn't know any better, but if you've lost something valuable I'll do my best to get it back to you. He may well have stashed things in a few places.

If it's any consolation he's made a wreck of my clothes and my shakkan's in the worst shape it's been in in about eight years. Next time maybe someone could tell him he's a mage and not to touch any plants that have been carefully cultivated to store raw power? Not that he'd listen, but worth a shot.

Hello, Vallo. I require your assistance. I've lost my roommate, or more specifically, the tiny version of my roommate. Somewhere out there is a very young Stiles Stilinski who is probably absolutely baffled how the girl he has crushed on since kindergarten has been his roommate in their late teen years.

I thought we had avoided this entirely but I guess Vallo decided to do something new with us this Monday.

uh I just wanted to say thanks. For coming to the barns and being nice. We can't have people over at home. It always makes me sad mad wish things were different. Just wish Declan couldve seen it. he's always going on about not trusting anybody and staying safe. But is SAFE all there is? I don't wanna die an old man who was safe and tucked away in a box my whole stupid life.

Anyway I ate too much ice cream this morning and I'm probably going to die from THAT insted so say nice stuff about me at my funeral and take care of my bird. She's the best.

What's this thing? How come it talks? If someone kidnapped me they're gonna regret it

Didn't expect to wander into an alternate (different?) dimension when I woke up the other day. Then again at this point I should probably expect the unexpected.

At least I'm not the only one here whose done that - at least that's what they've told me. So, I guess, this is my attempt to say hello to my fellow Outlanders I hope that's the right word. My name is Leon, I'll be serving on the Defense Team, as soon as I get my assignment. By what I've been told, that should be interesting. To my fellow Defense Team members, any advice you can throw my way?
