» Guess what I just found?

If anyone needs activities for children today, the Great Library will be holding Epic Story Time at 2 p.m. in the main stacks. Our tale of choice this afternoon is the Old English story of Beowulf, as told by Miss Heliotrope Undersea. It does have some scary moments, so today's story time is not recommended for children who don't want to hear about monsters being beaten to death.

Are you two doing well enough with your unexpected child? I don't know the first thing about children, but I can send dinner over this evening.

ｏｐｅｎ ｔｈｅ ｃｏｏｌｅｒ

Guess what! Since we have so many more kids than usual, Art of Expression is launching a special session of ART CAMP!!!

Instead of our usual signups, this time we're just doing show-ups! Starting this morning, kids from 5 to 12 will be with me in The Big Classroom at Cloud Recesses, and we'll have a super great time playing with all kinds of media, including paints and pastels and clay! There's room for all ability and experience levels, so if you want to make art, just come on up the mountain!

If you're bringing a kid, make sure they wear something they can get messy, and pack a lunch. If they need any special accommodations, just let me know and I will make it happen.

And if there are any kids who see this and want to come but don't have an adult yet, just pipe up! We'll find someone to show you the way here and make sure you've got a good lunch.

Annnnnnnnnd any of our suddenly-teenagers need stuff to do (or our regular teenagers, for that matter), I wouldn't mind an extra hand child-wrangling, so like...hmu if you need extra activities. I already had like a half dozen regular Vallo moms and dads responding that they'd be coming when I sent the message out to our standard mailing list.

Hello from 2033.
I know there are some anxious people on your end wondering what's been going on - everyone who decided to travel forward with Caleb and Essek have arrived safely and are now situated with us.

As you can see we are able to communicate across the timelines at the moment using the journals some of us managed to keep over the years. If you'd like to check in with your friends and family who travelled feel free to use this entry to do so.

While the journals will be usable for the next while here we are asking for everyone to refrain from spamming too much. All magic usage is a risk, this included. We are also asking that no one mentions any specifics to the plan, the journals on our end will not leave our safe zone, but should we be ambushed here we do not want any details falling into the wrong hands. As well please keep in mind our journal stock is limited and we are all sharing only a handful, your conversations may be viewed by others.

If someone can give me a quick "hey I see this" that would be great. We are fairly confident this should work but let us know for sure.



(( note: timeline wise today this will be written once everyone is back at the outpost and has had enough time to get sorted, so late afternoon/early eveningish ))

DOA DEFENSE TEAMS

As of tomorrow at noon, Shiro will be taking full command of the defense department for at least the duration of this new threat. My name is on the list for time travel. If anyone steals my magic coffee cup or scotch while I'm gone, I'll find you. Take care of each other.

SHIRO
Several other defense team members are included. Gladio, Kratos, Orym, Kellach, Iris, Sam, Tally, and Vex as well, should they chose to go. So you can plan accordingly.

Thank you for the workspace; it met my requirements precisely. I will be using it during the work week, and, I have recently hired El Higgins as my assistant. You've already met Blitzcrank, but I am certain he will often be underfoot. I will ask him to take caution not to trip anybody; he's generally good about that but ah, sometimes he gets excited.

Thank you once more for the fresh start.

If I were to approach you regarding using your offered workspace for projects of a more ah, delicate and discreet nature, what would you say?

Guessing I can cash in a gold coin at a bank or something??

I went on a walk because """exercise""" and this little shit of a dude came up to me like it wanted to start a fight. But he took a look at me, thought about it real hard, then gave me a gold coin and walked away like it was ashamed. Melog thought about eating them.

Adora, I got date money.

What are some of the worst team building/bonding exercises you've ever had to deal with? Members of the defense team need not respond.

Due to present circumstances, I'll be moving to a different apartment at Morningside this weekend. The old one is far too much space for one person. It will be a shame to leave the laboratory behind, but staying would be wasteful. And I do not want to remember

I am considering the necessity of a lab assistant once I have settled somewhere new. Someone studying biology or chemistry or medicine, with an interest in the arcane and in improving lives. Someone organized; one of us should be. Someone in university? Perhaps high school if you are of whatever the legal age is for such things. I don't know what the laws are here. Child labor is fine where I'm from so I haven't looked into it?

Full disclosure I killed my last assistant. I do not intend to do that again, but it seemed relevant.

Does anyone have unused laboratory space I might use for my projects? Brigitte, I had heard you might, but I did not want to impose.
