Hey, does this guy belong to anyone? He might just be a stray or whatever the bird equivalent is of that, but I thought I'd check while he's chilling in my backyard. It's been a weekend of getting pets back, so I figure you never know?

[FILTERED TO BLACK WIDOW HOUSE RESIDENTS & SYDNEY CLARKE]

SO, Daud's translated-into-our-months birthday is tomorrow, and I was thinking we should do dinner over at the house. I'm planning on sweet-talking Yelena into helping me make pirozhki.

[PRIVATE MESSAGE TO DAUD]

Dinner tomorrow night? You're welcome to help cook if you want, but we're doing something for your birthday. You deserve it.

Y'ALL.

Vallo gave me memories this month. And I went to space. SPACE! S P A C E!

Also, so did my family because they got attacked in our home so they had to stay someplace safe and apparently, that's with Nick Fury in space, but then things went south and they had to leave and so they had to transport everyone from the station via Flerken body.

This is the one time I really wish that Vallo would give me more, because I need to know what else happens!

[FILTERED AWAY FROM THE REVENANTS & EVILS]

So, the DOA and network scrolling caught me up. I know there is SO MUCH going on right now — hi everyone, I hope you're staying safe and have food and aren't being tracked down by evil people — but waking up in a pile of leaves in the forest and finding out you disappeared for two weeks is still jarring as hell.

[PRIVATE TO YELENA BELOVA]

Yelena, Nat's gone and you're not here and I'm trying to st your bird is being so needy. Where's Licorice? No way he just disappeared, he's a Vallo cat. And is there a MAN staying at the house? There's a lot of man stuff here but no man. Don't tell me you suddenly moved a man in here. You can't have been that lonely.

I speak into it? Just like this?

Like this?

Oh, oh. I see, fascinating. What marvelous aptitude civilization has in the year—no, wait, do not tell me the year. I would like to be surprised.

Ah, yes! Right! Hello, Valloians—or do you call them Valloites? What is the consensus you have all settled on these days? Yes, yes, certainly. Outlanders? I do like that one. Much better than the name I would have given you which would be

Outlanders! I am Bronislovas, First Regent of the Ivory Three, a proud member of the Beketh coven, and known to my students, none of whom are alive given the passage of time, as the Guide of Existence. Some of you seem to be in quite the issue with the portal, and to be of any assistance and not to be zapped by a raccoon

—As I said before, I would not mind a little zap. I'm interested to see—

To be of any assistance I am doing, is that the right word? Doing an ah-ma. Is that right? Is that how you pronounce the

Oh, the letters! I see. I will be doing an AMA. You may ask me anything.

Hello.

I was wondering if there would be any interest in a monthly book club, as I've come to develop a fondness for human literature (thank you to Darlington, who suggested that I read 'Frankenstein' and 'Dracula'. I enjoyed both). I've not the first clue as to what's widely popular or of historical importance; perhaps we might chose our reads by voting on suggestions.

Books do not function as amiably where I'm from; they have spirits of their own, and are alive, in a manner of speaking. It's quite strange to see so few flying, or spitting ink when upset - but admittedly it does make the reading go much faster.

House of Danvers-Vance-Khan officially has a new addition thanks to Vallo deciding we all needed alien kitties in this world.

I even got the chance to name her which I'm sure Carol regretted the second she asked but OH WELL!

Everyone, say hello to Galadriel. :3

[It's just a view of Mantis' face so far. There's a close up of her left eye, and her right eye, like she is JUDGING the device, and then there's a close up of her mouth as she opens wide and in a deep voice, shouts:]

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO





did I do this right?

When are we planning the rescue operation? Why is Mantis there?? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?

I'm almost done with my very first college semester ever, and I'm having this realization that there are many college professors who don't actually... know how to pace themselves during the year? Suddenly there's 50 topics being crammed into a week because we didn't finish the curriculum fast enough. I thought that's what the syllabus was for.

But, anyway. Are there are freshman year study groups out there that already exist? Not for specific classes but more of a keep each other accountable and actually study and not get distracted by YouTube kind of thing. Probably should have asked earlier but.. up to this point, I studied with Peter around.

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.

Thanksgiving at Sam's again this year, guys! Bring all your side dishes, drinks, etc. and prepare for follow-up Christmas decorating.

Hey, does anybody know if there are some Outlander playgroups, or just recommendations for toddler-friendly things to do?

I'm gonna be picking up Eddie's DMing for kids on Sundays at Wicked Games. It's kind of intimidating trying to pick up where the master left off, but I'm gonna do my best. So if you have kids who play, go ahead and bring them: the battle to defeat The Dark Omnificus and rescue the Unicorn Princess is still on.

So obviously our gaming group has taken a big hit. I wanted to ask you guys if you want to keep going with this campaign and come up with something to do with Eddie and Dustin's characters, start something new with just us, start something new and try to recruit a couple more people, put the whole thing on hold indefinitely, or put the whole thing on hold for a set amount of time (like a month or something).

I'll roll with whatever you guys want to do, but I'm hoping you'll want to continue in some way at some point. You're both great players and I like playing with you.

Ásynja Meadery will go on. Torunn worked too hard on it for us to shutter its doors. The Palace is gone, however. We did transplant a lot of the fruit bearing trees to the winery with help from Freya months ago, so some of the garden lives on.

We do need more help though. Bartenders, one more bar manager, an event planner, and brewers. Someone that likes numbers would be great as well. I'm told keeping profits in gold bars is a bad idea and I have something called taxes?

Thank you to those that reached out. I'm sorry I wasn't very responsive, it was just a lot at once.

I'm not even going to pretend I'm okay, because I'm not. I, along with a lot of other people here lost a lot of friends, but for some reason, I didn't really expect Peter to ever be one of them since he was here longer than I was. I don't know everyone's fate back in their world, so I hope everyone is okay. From what I remember, at least there is still a Spider-Man swinging around in NYC, so I guess I can just, like... cling to that.

But I went through Hell for him and I know what he exp he could be all alone and I don I'm not ready to let go of being sad about losing my boyfriend especially because we had only just found out there was a future here where me and him grew older together and had a daughter. I'm not ready to stop being angry at Vallo every time they rip people away from us, so for now, I know I don't normally swear but Fuck you, Vallo.

Good news, I remembered where my past snack hideouts were!

Or my younger self had so many of them that it was basically probability working in my favor?

Either way this is a solid victory for me second only to getting a massive lick from one of the cows, slimy but totally worth it.

Stop calling me, I don't want to talk about it! I'll fix the stupid wall later, okay?
