I made the mistake of thinking I could do Work in full this morning finally because the seed of reversal didn't make my throat bleed which is basic military work. So when I went to get coffee, I came across these little kids playing dodgeball and hey, perfect to test the seed of shielding right?

How do little kids throw so hard and so accurately?

The last time I saw magic stop working like this on a large scale, it was a spell cast by a specific group of people for revenge so only their magic would work. All other magic in the area completely stopped within minutes. The spell was meant to cover the world, but it was stopped from spreading very far outside of town. Everyone who was alive from magic had to run, and everyone besides this specific group would have been impacted.

For anyone who isn't annoyingly used to being cut from their magic at this point, it sucks. It's like a part of your soul is missing and I hate that any of us have to deal with this.

Tally and I have been scoring Sirius' ability to do laundry the muggle way. It's the one bright spot we're holding onto.

Oh, blimey. I knew it was bound to happen sooner or later given the state of things, but nothing seems to be working. The wards around the Leaky are all down, I can't do any magic at all, the garden out back has rotted away-- I don't know what to do.

How are you lot doing? Everyone just as affected or worse?

Choosing to ignore the doom and gloom warnings until something happens - is anyone interested in working at an animal daycare in the near future? Looking at end of October for an opening, so it wouldn't be an immediate job. Previous experience with animals preferred, but not necessary. And you should be able to tell me what animals you would like to work with.

I know we're distracted with these (lack of) visions happening, but got some time tomorrow night? I wanted to talk to you about something.

Nothing bad. Very much the opposite.

Padfoot's Animal Daycare (we're still workshopping the name), opening Fall of 2021! Located near Uncommon Goods - keep an eye out on the site, we'll be breaking ground soon.

I realize I'm very late with this, but Harry, would you like to come over for dinner tomorrow night to celebrate your birthday? You can bring along whoever you like, but I figured a nice little family dinner would be nice unless you have plans already?

For anyone who hasn't heard the buzz yet, the Olympics are happening in a few days! The opening ceremonies are Friday, and games run from July 30 - August 1. These are not the Olympics that I, and probably many others, are used (no swim teams, or gymnasts, or volleyball teams) but they do involve magic! Outlanders who are magically inclined are able to participate. Winning teams receive cash prizes. Events include areas like dueling, maze races, enhancements, time manipulation, enhancements, and more.

Full details are available for anyone who wants them. Happy competing.

LIZZIE, SOHPIE.
Thanks again for your help, ladies. I really appreciate it. Especially since you basically came out of retirement, Sophie.

Before the next Outlander Coven meeting on the 7th, there will be another smaller scale meeting held on the 3rd at Uncommon Goods at 6pm. This is specifically for anyone interested in getting more practice in on the divination skills that were taught and talked about at the last meeting, or practicing other forms of divination with others. Any level of psychic skill is welcome.

I realize there's a lot of new people around, so I wanted to let you all know that we have karaoke nights every other Thursday at Galahd. If you like singing, well made drinks, and making friends with strangers, come see us there tonight at 8!

How are you?

Okay, so this has been fun and I've enjoyed the outfits I got during this adventure, but I'm ready to go give up my newfound manhood and get back to being less of a basic bitch. Hurry it up will you, Vallo?

Is anyone else still stuck with their wishes?

Greetings Ah Good morn Hello, I hope you're all

Caleb mentioned a few weeks ago that we were in the midst of planning a birthday party for Kiri -- that planning is complete, so now we're now extending invitations to you all. ( Cut for image! )

This is taking place at [address] and lunch will be served of the barbecue variety, which will have both meat and vegetarian options available. We were hoping that this could be a potluck -- I believe that's the correct word? -- where anyone attending could bring some sort of side dish to pass, like a salad or something else that strikes your fancy, so there will be an interesting variety to go around. We will be providing cake, as well, as what is a birthday party without cake? And, of course, there will be games, a tunnel for magical flying, a bounce house, water slide, more or less everything Kiri requested, in honesty.

We do realize that this date is a holiday for some Outlanders, so we understand if you cannot make it for that reason. Regardless, we -- and Kiri, especially -- would be glad to see you to celebrate, should you be able to make it.

I have been wanting to talk with you about something, but I haven't been able to figure out a way to do it without appearing to be overbearing or overprotective. So I am leading with this, to let you know it isn't my intent. I just don't know how else to approach the situation.

Our caterer for the food for the kids' birthday was forced to drop out due to a personal emergency. Are there any Vallo based companies out there that can take on a last minute job? It's for this Saturday and must be able to cook vegetarian dishes as well. We were hoping for Indian, but at this point, we'll take anything.

... Still here?

I'm sorry.

Just when I thought I'd gotten used to not waking up to a dog breathing in my face and drooling on me.

Guess this place decided I needed this. I disagree with the drool.

The market will open back up on Thursday with a Fuck Time Travel theme. All my Mother's Day prep went to shit but whatever. It could be worse. I'll turn Father's Day into Parent's Day or something. Until then, stay the fuck where you are and enjoy this dweeb.

( It's haircut day. )

Check in? Is everybody doing alright in the past?

[People in the present]
Drinks at the Leaky tonight? I could do with some company, if anybody else feels like it.
