( At the counter she gave her order efficiently, requesting a chocolate monstrosity that she knew she wouldn’t be able to finish. She didn’t care. She had suffered, and she had earned that chocolate. )

Oi! Vallo! What kind of fecking nonsense is this?! Don't go around telling people I'm gone when I'm not! That's rude!

HELLO THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHATEVER IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW

BLOODY FUCKING MARY WITH HER BLOODY FUCKING CURSE IS UPON US.

ONCE NANDOR RELENTLESS IN HIS STUPIDITY OPENED THE ELECTRONIC MAIL AND RELEASED HER AND NOW SHE HAS RETURNED

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT HILLARY WHO DID NOT FORWARD THE ELETRONIC LETTER AND THEN BLOODY MARY CAME TO HER IN HER PARTY OF SLUMBER AND MURDERED HER IN HER SLEEPING BAG WITH HER EYES TORN OUT AND A MESSAGE ON THE MIRROR THAT SAID 'ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS FORWARD THIS TO TEN PEOPLE'

CURSES ARE NOT TO BE TRIFFLED WITH EVEN FOR ME THE QUEEN OF VALLO VAMPIRES.

i think you can go to college if you want, but you probably can't become the goblin king. also, have you ever seen The Labyrinth?

So you all were serious when you mentioned my getting a... job? Well. Such is the price of freedom, I suppose. Not to sell myself short, but I am uniquely qualified to be decorative and hilarious and little else that can be repeated in polite society. Unless you need someone stabbed? Do you need someone stabbed? Or perhaps something unlocked?

But only at night, of course. I'm a vampire spawn (worst kept secret, isn't it), and so can only maim, murder and preen during the evening hours. I assume is explains my hanging around your little government office the other day. It certainly wasn't out of ardor for your company so much as a requirement of survival.

I'm getting ahead of myself; I haven't introduced myself. My name is Astarion.

It's probably rather... pedestrian of me, but I'm actually looking forward to having a profession again. It's been a very long time. I've got to show up on time? Take lunch breaks? Sit at a table with other coworkers and talk about processes?

Precious.

I still have a large piece of kraken meat taking up space in Brigitte's freezer. I don't know how long kraken meat keeps for and I think it's time to give Brigitte her space back, so tonight I'll be at [name of beach] with a bonfire to cook up this hunk of meat and find out what it tastes like.

If anyone wants to give it a try, please join me. I have a pretty good appetite, but there's no way I'm going to be able to eat it all. And if kraken isn't your thing, I'll have some weanies to roast too (that's what they're called, right? Weanies?)

Also booze and I promise it's not fish flavored.

you guys, art class critique is the worst.

it's basically what it sounds like: your whole class gets together and critiques each other's work. half of what people say is artsy bullshit that they think sounds smart, a quarter of it is mean just for the sake of being mean, another twenty percent is completely insane, and then the final five percent is actually useful commentary on the work.

someone told me "i hate that you used paint." IN PAINTING CLASS. another guy commented on the raw sexuality of my painting OF A CAVE. and i didn't even get the worst of it! they made this one girl cry, and like, no, her painting wasn't that good, but it wasn't that bad either.

i need a nap. or maybe half a chocolate cake.

Hi. I'm back.

I guess things are still completely fucking lunatic here.




...

Thanks for making sure Darlington didn't suffocate in his nautical-themed sweater vests or whatever while I was out.

I'm glad that it appears that everyone is doing okay after the floods.

Everyone is well I hope and did I hear something about an end of summer event?

Temeraire

Do you think, since I wasn't here for the wedding, they would like me to get them something small?

Abi's birthday is coming up here on the 15th and we'll be having a get together at the house here. Swing by around 7. The birthday girl has requested costumes.

Well, I'm officially enrolled in three classes to audit this fall. I've also been added to a group chat called 8 AM Calsses Should B Illegal - spelled just like that. Not really sure what that says about my soon to be classmates.

I think I've hit the limit of how many days I can go to work, sulk, go to Hell, sulk and not be out and about doing anything so does anyone have any news of fun stuff happening soon?

Fair warning: I may decide by tonight to forgo everything and go sulk again. But I am trying.

[Abi]

I saw about your friend. When you're up for it if you want to get together to throw axes, drink milkshakes and maybe go look at some funky art, lmk.

I'm going to need you to be very sticky. Like super sticky. Just stick to Vallo like glue, okay?

Thanks for putting up with me being clingy today. You guys are the best.

I wanted to ask something - if she shares my room, could Kaitlyn come live with us? It's okay if the answer is no, I haven't said anything to her yet. She might not even want to. But I'd like having her where I can see her more.

I bought one of these and am currently drinking it. It’s not the worst alcohol I’ve ever had. Would I recommend it? Not especially. Will I still finish the bottle? Probably.

It looks like I have returned to Vallo, after a year away. What have I missed?

Captain, Temeraire, Abi, Lan Xichen are you still present here?

The staff down at the Wiz's asked me to pass along that they're hosting some races on the 23rd this month.

There will 3 races - an A and B Pool and then a fun run. A and B are based on skill so if you've had experience riding chocobos, or just a similar animal, A pool is probably for you. B if you're new to the whole thing. The fun run is for anyone, silly outfits are required.

Okay, so I need everybody to come to the Art Fair at Art of Expression on the 15th because...

...holy crap...

I got brave and got myself a booth!!! I'm going to be selling originals and prints of my work for the first time in my life!

So even if you don't buy anything, come by and see me and say hi and tell me it doesn't look like crap!


[OOC note: any artists who want to sell work at the Art Fair, feel free to say you have a booth]

Attention people who expressed interest in a roller derby league:

This is officially happening! I'm still working on ironing out the specifics right now, but things are coming soon. I'll be popping up again in a few weeks with info about skating lessons for anyone who needs them.

Please no one start the end of the world, or try to take over Vallo in the meantime. Thanks.
