JOURNAL ENTRY FOR WEN QING, WEN NING, JIANG CHENG, JIANG YANLI, LAN WANGJI, WEI WUXIAN

You may have read that there was a dragon attack earlier. Hanguang-Jun, Senior Wei, and I went to deal with the threat along with other Outlanders. People were in danger, we had to try to help.

Hanguang-Jun and Senior Wei were injured in the attack. Senior Wei more severely. They are both going to be okay. I brought them back to our lodgings and they are healing, resting, and medicated. We are fortunate to have doctors and healers here with us. I will continue to look after them until they are back on their feet.

Lady Wen, there is no need to worry about me, I am fine.

There's been a burst of rain of Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans outside of WWW every couple of minutes, so come try some if you dare! Hope you don't get the vomit flavored ones. 🤢

Not too long ago, I was talking to family and friends about getting a game of Quidditch going thanks to what my brothers and I could salvage from our old broom shed and Grimmauld Place. The brooms are old, but still mostly in good use and the rest of the equipment is...temperamental, but it makes for a more exciting game. If anyone's interested in joining us, I'm looking at Sunday for a game at the Burrow.

Come around noon, we'll have some snacks and beer too. And come a little earlier, if you want to figure out how to fly on these brooms and/or have the rules explained to you. Thanks to Remus Lupin, we were able to enchant them to work for non-magical and other magical types too, so anyone can play. Underage folks, please okay it with your parents and guardians before you show up. Quidditch can result in serious injuries and we're going to be playing with Bludgers. Beaters will be doing their best to knock people off their brooms.

So say you receive a nice wooden box with a lotus on it that contains tea, soup, macaroons, and schnapps. What would be an appropriate gift to give in return?

[ooc; Harry Potter is a Weasley, sorry, I don't make the rules.]

April Fool's comes once a year. Yes?

[automatically translated from Mandarin]

I am carrying around an entire library and personal diary and so far it is very easy to use. I can't help but think of how many problems could have been solved before they got worse at home. Can I take it with me when I go back?

This is the first toy Henruit hasn't destroyed in three days flat.

Whoever was looking for cool sword poses, hit me up and I'll help you out.

Any fishing spot is romantic, fyi - long as you're there.

Alexis and I have just finished watching the Lord of the Rings movies. The geography and politics are different, but it still felt very much like a taste of home, in a way. I've now begun reading the first of the books, and those are even more like something I might have picked up at a bookshop in Kirkwall.

There are movies of so many books on Earth. Why is there no movie of Vampirates? This seems an artistic injustice.

[Filtered to Alexis]
Could you bring more of that "Filthy Viking" soap from the Apothecary home with you this evening? I've worn mine down to a sliver. If I ever find myself in a world without hot showers again, I suspect I will whinge incessantly.

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.

This muggle device is strange, innit?

Being attacked by giant feathery balls of rage yesterday in the middle of a forest in a place I don't know was not my idea of a good time... but thanks much to the woman with the sword who got me out of there and the healer at the clinic.

Wotcher, I'm Tonks. I guess there are others from my world here?

uhhhhhhhhhhh in the wise words of Jake Peralta, coolcoolcoolcool no doubt no doubt So you're telling me that I missed Murder Turkeys AND I get out of all of my school loan debt? What Is there a casino here? I feel like I need to gamble on my luck. Am I allowed to Avengers Assemble NOW?

[OOC: Vague spoilers/references to some WandaVision stuff inside.]

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.

I can verify that the insects are negatively affected by my cultivation magic when I play my guqin. If you find yourself in need of aid, please send up an alert and I will assist. Exorcism songs work as well as non-exorcism, provided that they be played in the correct key.

A stranger on the street remarked that the process looked like a "bug zapper", which doesn't mean anything to me but may aid you with a visual. He also yelled in a loud and insistent voice something about a "free bird", which I also don't understand.

I did not know anything about Christmas or Yule before I came here - only Solstice! But I have been excited to learn things of the cultures present, and to experience everything myself. Plus our rabbits showed up from home, all around the Jingshi, yesterday! That and growing lotus? It was a very good day.

I really really like the cameras here, though I am fond of drawing Lan Zhan when he is not paying attention, it's very very good to see how pretty he truly is through a lens and not just my artistic interpretation. Please appreciate:

On another topic, I was curious if there are others here that come from worlds where cultiv magics they use are forbidden by others? I have talked a little to a few people about it, like my demonic cultivation, and I have been curious to hear about others and their worlds. Are there things that are forbidden? Considered evil? Things you learn or have mastered where others thought they were bad, even if they weren't? Have you been bla

I have accepted employment working between the Outlanders and existing Vallo residents, and will appreciate suggestion and guidance from my fellow liaisons. If you perceive a challenge or injustice, please approach me with it and I will act as an intermediary should the problem be of significant seriousness to warrant a third party.

Wei Ying - the Jingshi is here.

For those of you unfamiliar with the word: The Quiet Room. It's a piece of home - a welcome one. I thought I disdained surprises but I'm finding that not to be the case here.

Hi, everyone! Sorry for being quiet around here, Hatter and I have been elbows deep in fixing up his (yet to be named) tea shop from Wonderland.

With that said, I know there were a couple of people interested in taking a judo class taught by me. I was hoping to find a location to work out of, but if we want to do a group setting or one-on-one, I'm fine with either! Is there anyone else who would like to learn judo? I can also do self-defense classes!

I am Lan Wangji. Thank you for your hospitality, and for looking after Apple the donkey and Wei Ying. I hope that Wei Ying was not too much trouble.

I am a Cultivator, and will work where there is a need. "May I, Lan Wangji, eliminate evil, protect the weak, and live without regret." It is not a pledge I will forget.

Does anyone have a timeline on how long it can take others to arrive? People very important? I am impatient on the best of days and for Apple (the donkey, thank you, new friend Diego, for taking good care of him!) to arrive before Lan Zhan is unusual. And annoying. I have found good alcohol (he wouldn't approve) and a JOB (he would approve) and it is rude.

His loss, I guess. But Anyway, disciples of magic and the University of Unseen Arts, I am a professor there now. You should all attend my classes. At some point in the future, we'll have field trips into the forest for the hands-on experience called night-hunts! And there will be snacks, maybe soup. Basically, I am a cool teacher and I'm not going to make you write out punishments if you pass notes.
