So if I wanted to convince the Great Library to let me paint a mural inside of it, who would I need to talk to? Or is that just like a don't even bother situation? I'm not rich enough to bribe anyone. I'm just curious.

[FILTERED TO BLACKTHORN MANOR]

On that note, I started a new one at the house. In the den. Watch out for the paint cans and tarps. And don't look at it until I'm done.

[OOC: feel free to ignore him and peek anyway, it's going to be like the Blackthorn mural but with Tessa, Jem, Will, Kit, and Mina.]

I'm emerging from this pile of blankets and pillows to issue an apology to anyone I stabbed and/or smited the other day.

Sorry about that. Didn't mean to?



Anyway, that's it.

[DEFENSE]

Just spotted our potion boy, looks like he's got an illusionary wall covering a cave entrance. Well, that or he can walk through stone.

Coordinates:

Send backup, but I'm going in to investigate and maybe, hopefully, get him to surrender. That's gotta happen eventually, right?

Thank you for using the Emergency Services app, please remember to provide feedback when you're safe again.

So we all agree, we're kicking this guy's ass once he's found, right? Like this isn't one of those 'no, Diego, diplomacy is so great you can't solve everything by stabbing it!!!!' things?

Violet says if I want to work with defense I have to play nice. If Sgaeyl were here, I wouldn't even need a team but She might have a point. (Don't let it go to your head, Violence.)

My name's Xaden Riorson. I'm a dragonrider. If you see a blue daggertail show up, just drop your eyes, bow your head, and stay out of her way. For your safety and hers. I hear you guys have dragons who talk to people besides their riders, but mine doesn't. She isn't even talking to me right now, but that's


Sorry, it's been a rough week so my social skills are not great right now. But I'll watch out for you all in a fight. You can count on me for that.

Anyone else check out that new potion guy?

A coworker wouldn't stop going on about it yesterday while I was trying to eat lunch and I'm half convinced they were being paid for advertising and the crowd was hard to miss when I was walking to get into work this morning.

Seriously?! Fitz is gone. Just like that?? No goodbye, see you later, or whatever? Just poof and gone!!

Fuck this.

I've been here in Vallo for a little over three years and I haven't once gotten memories from home. I've seen friends for brief amounts of time, which has been nice and painful, but, but never memories.

Anyway, I guess that changed last night and it's really kind of disorienting to be freshly twenty and suddenly remembering things from my junior year in high school. None too shocking that everything was incredibly stressful and the world needs saving by a bunch of teenagers for the fourth time, but sure. I miss

Also, Caleb: thank you for never expecting me to buy ten barrels of diamonds or a sphinx's egg or a golden bow crafted by an archfey in order to learn magic.

I will be finishing my degree next month. There is a requirement that I complete a technology project and share it with others for feedback. This is a one-time thing, do not get used to it. Please submit your feedback by end of day tomorrow, as I will be submitting it on Monday.

This is ReaperCAM. I have set up several monitoring locations to keep an eye on this troublemaker. No, I do not know the name of the other one but I enjoy that it harasses Reaper in such a manner that he harasses me.

Bet you all thought I was a goner, eh? Tough! I have been stitched back together and will be back charming all the pretty girls in town before you can say pelvic fracture. Which are two words I'd prefer to never hear again, if it's all the same.

When I'm done catching up on work I think I need to start training in earnest. What little I've been doing lately is apparently not cutting it. Anyone know a group I could join?

Heeeey so there was some talk at Galahd's last night about an arrest made on the portal lady?? Anyone have anything official to share, because I'll listen to people over drinks all day but I figure 50% of anything there is added context and rumor.

Hey out there, Network People. I heard I should introduce myself here. I'm Liam, I've been here about a week, and I haven't posted because - technology, that's new. But I think I've got the hang of it now, and Violet says you guys like pictures of cool things, so here's one.



I don't usually get to paint them, but you guys have craft stores that are pretty awesome. I spent almost all of my DOA stipend there, so that probably means it's time I get a job. Who's got good work recommendations for a dragon-less dragon rider?

Despite the best efforts of fate, Spring mead is out at Asynja. If you like floral flavors, good news. We have Hibiscus, Rose, and Lavender brewed to human strength, and several barrels of Lavender brewed to knock gods off their feet. Enjoy.

If I disappeared, would you take over the meadery, close it, or sell it?

Right then! Just wanted to pop on now that I've got a bit more of a handle on things, and say a heartfelt cheers and thanks to those that helped me during my quite ghastly arrival. Even those of you that laughed at me - hope to have brought some humor for your day.

I never got to make proper introductions, all said. I'm Si Robin Blyth, I come from the same ah- time? place? world? These things go over my head - as Edw Ms. Violet Debenham, and Mr. Edwin Courcey, but! If you hadn't guessed by my previous blundering, I am not lucky enough to be as gifted as they are with magic, just stumbled into it by accident and then ended up with unexpected psychic abilities! Though, I've learned that having foresight really isn't that helpful at all, in the end, especially not when they couldn't even warn me I'd be walking into a but apparently I'm not the only one of my kind here?

It is nice being able to say that part to the general public! So far I've heard of the same-sex marriages, the fact that women have far more freedom, and experienced now the indoor plumbing and hot showers on command. Tell me of more wonders? What am I missing? I've become acquainted with several bars and taverns since my arrival so that part is covered now do your worst.

What I've discovered this week is that some of you need to be complimented more often. I'd apologize but I'm not actually that sorry.

FILTERED TO EDWIN:

How are you feeling?

Hello.

I am very itchy and sad and grumpy and tired all over and I would like to stop scratching, please.






And my feathers are falling out.

I think this is a problem.

If my sinuses and the way I unintentionally gave much of my life story to a barista that simply asked how I was doing this morning mean anything, I believe I've been infected by whatever truth telling is going on. This is your general word of warning, because I can't promise I won't give my life story all over again and I'd hate to bore. It also made me late for work this morning.

That said, as absolutely irritating as this place has been the last month or so, it seems my home is here. The key was in my apartment and I saw it while walking to the shop. Much of my belongings are there, too. So--that is a nice change of pace.

Much will still need to be done for proper forgiveness, but at least I will have my own bed to sleep in tonight.

H blast ho
W do I

THERE THATS SOMETYING, I YHINK
FUCK

NO THATS IMPOLITE HO W DO YOU REMOVE THERE SURELY

at this point just leave me here lost to die I cannot recover from this and I haven to the fainted idea if hie to use this internal yhing

Id like to go home now I think

I've never really had trouble with springtime and the sneezing and runny nose that some folks can get, but apparently my luck ran out. Not too helpful when half your house is full of plants and flowers that you've grown yourself, but here we are.

I also keep Has anyone else been

The sneezing is getting a bit out of control and in the way of my typing.

[...] And I'm also being rather blunt, which I don't know if that is just me being tired or something more than that, but I apologize in advance if I'm more frank than usual. Not that I'm not always klgflklk usually honest, I just am usually pretty good at um diplomacy.

Time to take the gremlin to get a flower crown in her hair and to touch grass or whatnot. Anyone else headed for the festival? Someone tell me there are giant mugs of witch ale or something. What about those massive pretzels that you need to eat with two hands? Apparently I'm in the mood for oversized refreshments today, don't judge me.

On a related note, should we be keeping an eye on the local covens whilst we're waiting for this legal business to get sorted? Just wondering if I need to be more armed than usual for this little outing.
