vallo

private message - william laurence, lan xichen, marina, and eleanor:

The time has come for me to be officially inducted into Beketh. Next Saturday there will be a ceremony for the new inductees and the council members and our sponsors, then after that there is a banquet that is open to friends. I was told I could invite said friends, and I would appreciate it greatly if you all would join me after the ceremony if you are free.

You do not need to bring a thing, just your appetites. Perhaps your dancing shoes as well. Marina, you may bring your usual disdain for humanity - it will fit right in with my new coven.

There's something wrong when I'm looking up magician jokes. That's beyond being bored. Not to mention all these jokes are ridiculously lame. Anyway, I'm wondering if there are any chocolate shops or candy shops where I can get some good chocolate. I'm team milk chocolate, by the way. What chocolate team are you, milk chocolate, dark or white?

Beetlejuice starts tomorrow, for anyone who wants to come out and see madness, mayhem, cool-ass puppets, vulgarity, and me locking lips with Loki. Runs until Sunday and I'll happily host a cast/crew party at Skyhold after if we want (hi husbando, surprise).

And in case anyone also wanted to know - popping popcorn in an ice cream bar and oil is a total fucking lie, don't let Tik Tok fool you. I gave that scientific experiment a go and was not pleased with the results.

( But the ability to quickly alert each other in moments of danger might be nice because she’d grown to like these idiots and if there was something they couldn’t fight off, she wouldn’t be hard pressed to show up and destroy whatever or whoever was trying to hurt them. )

If you were having a bad day or feeling down about yourself, there were few people who could give you an ego boost as quickly as Alexis. After months of working with her, wine nights, gossip sessions, watching her plan an event like almost no one else except maybe my friend Tahani, I'm going to miss my bestie.

I can't even be mad, though, because at least Vallo gave me time to get to know her and knowing this place, it could always bring her back. In the meantime, if you need a similar pick me up, try the Beyonce Compliments Your Hair froyo. It's almost as good as when Alexis would. Almost.

David.
I spent last night watching trash tv and drinking with Marina and generally wallowing, but how are you doing?

Zeke.
Guess I should tell you. I have news.

Asetenarra is a coven full of nerds wanted me to remind everyone that if you haven't already gone to see the Haunted Caves, they're really excited for you to see them. I at least got them not to do anyone's canon that's already here. You're welcome.

Your high king has arrived. Or you can call me your majesty. Or Eliot. I'll answer to them all. Seems fitting I arrived here during chaotic times. Story of my life. Who has the good vodka?

Grab a coffee or something stronger. I got a text from Care Caroline about what we can only call Vallo being Vallo. She's got her hands f Some of you are likely already aware, so to head off questions and chaos, the DOA can confirm there seems to be some kind of timeslip event happening. Don't freak out if you suddenly have a kid or someone you know isn't the right age. The latter might be easier to adjust to since it's happened at least once before in the time I've been here - but the kid thing may be a bit shocking.

If you need a hand, the DOA has services to help out. That said, though, in an effort to coordinate and assist, we're asking you to chime in here with any reports you want to share so that we can manage resources and get a handle on expectations.



[ooc | this here's the catch-all post, I offered to get one up early for Meghan]

Eleanor, I hate to tell you this, but I don't think I can look at another shrimp for a week. At least. It might be longer.

I'll be sure to go probably the entire summer without eating shrimp for the next birthday. Welcome back to getting old again...for the second time or whatever.

Don't come near Skyhold unarmed or unarmored - we've got mechanical bastard mountain lions that turn almost perfectly invisible. They also shoot pulses of light that hit like burning arrows - they won't kill you in one shot, but they hurt like the fist of the Maker. Calenhad and I brought two down, but I've no way of telling if there are any others about, so if anyone would like to join me in a patrol of the area, I'd appreciate the help.

I leave for 2 2!!! months and yall just start

the fucking robot apocaylsepe???

WHAT

THE

FUCK

bad outlanders bad

Greetings everyone. I'm James, and I'm a local around here - born and raised in Vallo (and thanks to my longtime friend Mei for getting me situated with this network. Mei, you were right, this is something). I'm a psychiatrist and have just moved offices to the appropriately-named psychiatric floor in one of the hospitals. I have a variety of patients, and I speak a few different languages - Elvish, Dwarvish, and a bit of Druidic. I was born into the Vorerra coven but left recently and so I suppose I'm coven-less. All of that means I'm also a witch and it's possible that the name Vorerra elicits questions (if I'm mistaken, well, scroll to the end of this post) so I thought I'd open with a few FAQs and also an AMA and perhaps even a few more acronyms, who knows.

( cut for FAQ )

If there's something specific you'd like to know I'll answer if I can. I'd also like to get to know all of you, if you're open to that. My office is right near Baby Got Burritos, which means I often eat the queso burrito for lunch and then need a nap in the afternoon.

Anyway, if you've scrolled right to here - hello. So you all are turning into cats, then? Seems like a normal day here. I've got a cat of my own too. His name is Cheeto and he's quite the handsome fellow, isn't he?

There's a lot to process still, but it was suggested I reach out on here because there are some people around who know me... so, hi?

I feel like weird weather shit's just par for the course these days with places like this. Still glad I don't have to worry about it anymore.

Also...I'm supposed to inform everyone that there's been a new addition to the equinox celebrations. Asetenarra is pairing up with Silniara for a cheese and wine tasting. Steve Onyx is super excited about you all meeting his cow and two goats. I don't pretend to even remember what their names are, but I'm sure they have them. Onyx requests you call him Onyx during the celebrations even if you know him as Steve from his vet practice. Cause I guess that was the most goth name he could think of

I need your help with something.

WHO: Marina Andrieski & Dorian Pavus
WHEN: Post Julia’s disappearance
WHERE: Marina’s penthouse
WHAT: Coming home with a new kitten and feels
TRIGGERS: Mostly a lot of feels
( Honey, I’m home )

Okay. So.

Not only do I get free money and a free apartment, but we're on an island. NOT in the middle of nowhere Texas. There isn't a cow in sight. And there is glorious coffee and food that isn't just bbq??

How do I check yes for sticking around?

Well, I made the emotionally charged, not in my right mind decision to get got another cat. Her name is JG. I considered Cupcake 2, but after seeing what happened there, that I'm working on her and FB becoming less against each other. The dog, on the other hand, seems fine with it. Sure. That makes sense.

Anyway. Because I'm sure you're all going to ask, here's a picture of her.

( For picture, not ic )

Kady

I assume you're the one that left me these things.

I doubt it being Emo Hair, the Ghost, or the Disney Princess.
