vallo

A big thank you to everyone who attended the party last week and made bids and donations for the youth center. It always gives me a lot of feelings that I'm only just equipped with feeling when I see how generous you all are. Those kids deserve it, let me tell you.

Make sure you pick up your prizes soon, if you haven't already, please and thank you.

Also, might be addicted to cannolis now. This is my own fault.

I went to that Critical Role Land with my moron friends and it is the best place I have ever been to in my entire life.

( I found Vax )

It's just an amazing likeness. Incredible. I'm looking at two Vaxs. Vaxes? Vaxii? Fuck.

WAIT I TAKE IT ALL BACK

( What the fuck is this nonsense )

WHO IS THAT REFERRING TO?

( Here are other pictures look at them or don't I don't care )

My life would have been way fucking different in Exandria if I'd just been given money all the gods damned time for no reason. This place is a pain in the ass, but fuck. That's nice as hell.

I'm parking myself at Taste of Tal'Dorei to eat and drink Winter's Crest themed shit while watching """theater""" and people should join me if you're bored. My fucking treat.

BELLS HELLS

Also I'm going to get you all not shitty gifts now that I am rolling in it. Get ready.

Oi!

Can anyone give me an explanation of what the fuck is going on that doesn't involve being kidnapped into a magical fairy land?

Apparently I worked at the Underground as a trainer and didn't know about that until I was walking by the place and it triggered a memory. So I went in, got to talking to management, and I'm starting up sessions again at the Underground a couple of days a week. Group sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays, individual sessions on an as need basis. If you're looking to sharpen up whatever skills you do have or are looking to learn self defense, come find me or message me.

I'll be focused on knife fighting, boxing, Taekwondo, and Krav Maga. Open to other martial arts and hand to hand.

And if you have a problem with a baby watching me kick your ass into shape, do not take this class. This is part of her training.

( Filtered away from Nikolai; spoilers for A Power Unbound )

Right so. From what I gather, Evie and I were turned into templar twats. Sorry about that. Kellach, you've got free beer on me for a month, mate. Anyone else I was a prick to, well come on down. You can have a free punch if it makes you feel better. If I'm not here, it's because I'm out looking for wherever that prat hid the 200 year old goblin whiskey I was saving for a special occasion.

[SEREFIN]

I saw you wincing just now. Stop pushing it and take a rest, will you?

DIEGO, LILA, SEREFIN

How are you doing, Serefin?

Also, what the fuck is going on? This have to do with everyone being all off, I'm guessing?

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.]

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.

I need pants.

HELLO?



Weirdest spot you woke up in this morning, go.

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.

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.

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.

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.
