Diego says that finding the entire wine cellar from Grazyk is no reason to stop in the middle of our training, but he did not accidentally stumble upon it when taking a water break nor does he understand that the sheer size alone would be enough to stop any person. He also is on the mend, and truly the break was for his benefit not mine. Now, for those of you I owed a drink, can it be a Tranavian red?

FILTERED TO JACOB & EVIE

Have you been doing some remodeling under the Underground? And I am not speaking about the sudden appearance of my wine cellar, though you are both welcome to take from as payment for unintentionally housing it under your establishment.

I'm tired of feeling absolutely useless when it comes to being a fight and also ending up in situations where I can't even defend myself and need to do dependent on someone else to help me (that being said, Erik, I'm still grateful that you found me).

I'm also really tired of sitting here with yet another cast on my arm, so I will make a classical Ravkan (known as Russian in other worlds) dinner for someone who wants to come over and heal my arm completely.

Also should probably start looking into defensive classes.

WHO: Dan & Allison (with Batibat, who then gets yeeted into a box in Dan's mind)
WHAT: Marital Teamwork
WHERE: The mortuary
WHEN: 19th into the 20th
WARNINGS: Not really, but Batibat is creepy
STATUS: Complete

What in the name of the Three-In-One

This place is certainly something else, isn't it? It was suggested I introduce myself, that there would be familiar faces.

The video introduction was...illuminating. Sabrina? Are you really here?

I am really really really sorry for the broadcasting of death, despair and torment that's coming from the forest right now.

I need some help trying to ward it off so it stops seeping out into the world.

Vallo decided to be an asshole and give me more of Hell.

Because its a jerk.

Like we really needed another forest inside of the forest? What's next? The sea of sorrows? Fields of Witness? Sending Vlad's tomb?

Lucifer. Where are we, why is some kid insisting on calling you Dad, and what's going on?

Oh, and apparently someone from a welcoming committee was sent out to meet me. That's dangerous. Consider it for the best that we didn't meet.

Any insight on the giant robot lion that casually landed downtown yesterday?

Anyway, the Orchestra has decided they're going to do a night of Lord of the Rings music and I'm pretty excited about it. I have a hard time sitting through the movies and the books, but the soundtrack is a different story.

I've been learning how to tattoo the last couple months and I'm getting close to needing some brave volunteers. Who wants a Ronan Lynch original?

So this isn’t the result of somebody screwing around with a bunch of magical rocks again? Because the Blip was stupid enough and this feels more like a Blop.

Of all the things I’m most annoyed by, I was one stamp away from a free coffee.

[filtered to hargreeves people and their associates, any interested friends, parents of other smol people, idk]

Not complaining about the sudden bonus appearing in my bank account - maybe that was a reward for working overtime and then some during the turkey mess. But it's good timing since a lot of that will be used to throw Claire a birthday tea party this Sunday afternoon, at Looking Glass Teas. In the backyard, so it will be a legitimate whimsical experience.

Let us know if you can attend, and feel free to bring any other youngins - I know she has some friends at school she'd love to see there. I'm also going to order a cake from someplace otherwise if I baked it, it would be carrot.

A two hour run seems to have finally tired out the hounds and the wards have held up so yay to that. Cerberus looks like its coming along nicely and I checked in with the covens.

But what's happening with the snowglobe? Is the magic around it dormant or are there still traces? Are we keeping it locked up somewhere? Has anyone tried to trace it back to where it came from or who made it? I mean its probably just one of those 'Vallo is screwing with us' things but maybe not? Does it have a significant feeling to it that we can look for elsewhere in Vallo in case there's some other pocket universe out there that others are trappe?

Also, Dorian, are we having our quiz tomorrow????????

Hey, Vallo Prime and Vallo Dark - everybody should be able to see this on network-connected devices.

Thanks, whoever you folks who helped stabilize the connection on the Vallo Prime end are. I'm Dr. Morgan Yu, and I'm about to go full typhon because that shit was exhausting. Vallo Dark-area psychics, don't freak if you sense a weird white noise; my thoughts are always like that, but they tend to get a little louder when I'm not holding a human form.

While I'm napping, see what you can do about getting us all out of this foggy hellhole.

SPELLMAN MORTUARY GROUP TEXT

In light of Sabrina's current disappearance, Dan and I thought it best that we have regular check ins. Make sure no one else disappears until we can figure this out.

Please just check in here to let everyone know you're still here.

I'll be in the Pandemonium library for the next few hours if anyone needs me. I'm hoping I might be able to find something that will help us to contact Sabrina and the other missing.

So- Ah- it's been a morning, but we're doing our best to figure out exactly what's going on. Our notification system isn't showing any glitches, but a large number of people went missing in the last twelve hours and we have no way of tracking them at present. It's possibly linked to yesterday? Adam is doing his best on the psychic level to see if there's anything he can pick up, if anyone else is in the same position, feel free to check in here.

So if you woke up to a loved one being gone this morning, please comment here so I can put together an extensive catalog of those that disappeared in the last 24 hours.

I'll add to this list as people comment, so everyone can stay up to date:
( CUT FOR LENGTH :( )
For obvious reasons, the market will be closed today, and possibly Thursday. Thank you.

i'm pleased to announce it's been a month since i've done anything overly stupid and i'm now horrendously bored! i tried converting an ugly skirt into a pair of even uglier pants and it just turned into a horrendous rucked up mess, so. there's that?

[to others who see dead people]

How much of an issue do you have with ghosts never shutting up? And how do you deal with it that isn't drugs?

On the tails of Sabrina's post (we're a very serious and business driven group), I'm putting it out there that Empress Hair Salon will be opening soon. I've gotten just about everything I need, but I'm still getting everything ready. Thanks to my daughter, Claire, we will be having our very own Unicorn Chair for the younger crowd that want it. She's still not sure it makes up for the Salon not being named after unicorns, but I assume she'll survive.

That being said, I'm reaching out here to see if there's anyone that would be interested in working at the salon. If there's not anyone, I'll hire from the locals, but I figured I'd still ask.

Also everyone compliment my wonderful husband and Sabrina for helping me both with getting the place and the painting and decorating and their patience while dealing with my need to overthink the smallest details.

Barring any weird shenanigans, Cerberus Books will be reopening on Friday January 29th! Which is coincidentally my one year anniversary of arriving in Vallo. I'm not going to focus on how almost everyone is go

We're going to offer up employment back to all of the locals and Outlanders who were already working there while we temporarily closed, but! If you're looking for a job and enjoy sci fi and horror movie classics plus don't mind dressing up as your favorite monster of that genre (anything from IT or The Shining is very much ix-nayed though, sorry) have I got the best place to work for you!

[Phantom band boys]

Do you think I could get you guys signed up to play for this? Maybe?

I'm being told I should show off my new 'ride'. Is that the right term? I bought a motorcycle and fixed it up a little. It still doesn't hover, but I blame that on lack of the right supplies.

( Fake cut for the picture fun )

Anyway, it's no ship, but it gets me around.

If anyone wants to give me their powers, I have a grappling hook with your name on it. (You'll have to give it back, of course, but still.)
