vallo

Vallo's done something to me.  I keep calling people names.  Not insults.  More like the kind of nicknames a person might use for the significant other, like Sweetness and Darling.  It's embarrassing for me, and probably them too. I hope no one thinks I'm harassing them. 

I was planning on staying in for Valentine's Day.  I might start doing that now.  I don't want to end up using these names on my profs. 

What is this "Vallo Sexyman Poll" and why did my Saturday morning student give me the full update on "Magic Edition is Professor Essek vs Gilmore and Professor Essek is losing!"? There are others? It is a trend? They said God Edition has Thor vs Kratos right now and it's tied and I still do not get it. I am very confused. Is there a reward?

My vote goes to my husband, obviously. Essek is very sexy.

( OOC COMMENT )

Can't sleep. Listening to music. Drinkin' and smokin'. Thinkin'. Been doing a lot of that. Sometimes I think my head might explode from all of it. Anyway, hey to any other night owls that may be up.

Alright, someone explain whatever the hell Valentine's Day is to me. I'm getting mixed fucking messages on the search thing and you all seem to understand in this place's charm.

BELLS HELLS

Any of you know what's up with that one guy from home?

That probably doesn't fucking narrow it down, huh. He's the one with the--fuck, I don't know. A face? You know who I'm talking about. The human looking one.

Happy Wednesday!
Have a very colorful Monty.



And a riddle from the kids that I am sad to admit took me way too long. I blame not getting my second cup of coffee before they bombarded me with the tough questions this morning.

What starts with an E, ends with an E and only has one letter in it?

How are you? I figure that's a better question than are you okay. I could visit with the dogs. They're good for comfort. Or you could come to my house if you'd like.

Did everyone make it back from that guilt hell?   That's all over, now right?

I got a package.  Did anyone else get one?  I'd like to open it, but I don't think I could handle any more unpleasant surprises right now.  There's a lovely scent of lavender coming from it.   That has to be a good sign.  It wouldn't smell like that if it was full of body parts.

Also for a bit of happy news, I got another dog a while ago.  His name is Buster.  He's small, cute and energetic.  If you ever see us out for a walk, Winston and Buster are both friendly, feel free to say hi.

Private to Quentin

Is Eliot back?  Is he okay?

Question, Vallo.

How long do you think is long enough to pay for whatever crimes you might have done in the past? A lifetime? A couple hundred years? A thousand? More? Less? Does it depend on the crime?

Also, why is paperwork the absolute worst?

New world 🌎, new snood🧶 (thank you for the yarn loan, Blue!! I made you one!), old friends👋🏻! Thing is a little late to the party but I've already told him he's forgiven (that's why he hasn't said hello to you yet, Wednesday, remember your promise!!) so now I think he'll be a little more social.

He likes manis, a good hand lotion, people who know sign language or morse code, and massages. 👍🏻

[OOC: Please imagine that Thing is peeking up out of the snood with a little thumbs up in the pic!]
( Cut for picture! )

I don't believe in karma, but it seems I'll never escape the meaningless affirmation of social media. But as I don't have my typewriter or my cello, I'm finding that I have nothing else to do at the moment. And as much as Enid giggles while she messages people, I will admit some curiosity.

[Enid]

Also, I have some rather distressing news. Quite possibly the worst.

Alright Vallo, what new years resolutions are you making this year? If you make them that is. I'm only making two. One I can't share, but the one I can is to try a new hobby. I haven't figured out what that will be yet. Maybe dance lessons, painting or maybe horseback riding lessons. Or something completely different.

( Merry Christmas Abigail & Winston )

Well.

Hm.

The front of our house seems to be made of biscuit. Gingerbread, specifically? As well as frosting and various types of candy. I was doing some magic experimentation last night, but nothing like this so I think that I can firmly place this under the header of Vallo Weirdness, however it seems like a good idea to check before Fig actually follows through with her threat of eating it and leaving us with some structural questions and new windows.

Oh, I hope I'm doing this right.

Hello? My name is Yuna. I apologize if I'm not using the proper etiquette. I should've asked, but I'm still a bit shaken up, and this machina isn't anything like I've ever seen — though I really don't have a lot to compare it to.

Right, so. Princess Prom. We don't have to dress up as Princesses, right?

[ FILTERED TO SABRINA SPELLMAN ]
Talked to the fire chief, you're free to come and do your thing tomorrow if you're still okay with helping? Cause the rest of the firehouse is starting to think I'm crazy cause they can't smell and see the things I'm seeing.

[Quentin Coldwater]

How do you feel about putting the tree up when I get home from work tomorrow? We can order pizza so no one has to cook.

[Abigail Hobbs]

Have you thought about your Christmas list? I'm not trying to rush you, but I'm trying to get my shopping done early this year.

I need everybody's best "destress yourself" ideas, please!

My Pictureworks project looks hideous, all the algebra has fallen out of my brain, my final paper for Composition is only half done, I screwed up my bibliography on the other paper, and the end of the semester is SO SOON. I need options other than "cry more" and "swear at a computer" and "eat every snack." Pls halp.

Also if anybody is good with word processing programs and can figure out what the hell I did to my bibliography to make the indents do what they're doing, I will draw literally anything you want for you.

( It was a gorgeous day )

This world is already better about getting people the treatment and aids they need than in my world. But, there's always room for improvement. I'm working with Enki and Vallo's local general hospital to develop an advanced line of assistive technology and disability aids for people that need them, at no cost to the user.

We're still in early development, but we'd like to chat with users with specific needs that are met through assistive technology or mobility aids. We're focusing on walking aids that function both in the city and the forest, advanced hearing devices that automatically volume adjust given the noise level of the area around you, retracting hooks for reaching things higher up but minimally invasive at the same time, and adaptive touch screens that can translate text to braille and shift and change like you would just turning a page on a book or scrolling through social media.

Basically, our main goal here is accessibility and advancement. They told me to use an ice brea If you could think of any one thing that would make your life easier and it doesn't already exists or is something that could be improved, what would it be?

[VIKTOR]

It's well after the race, are we ready to talk about the hexcore yet?

I'm not tall anymore, but I hear that pumpkin pie is something that people like to eat on this day and I'm real curious about that.

That said, thanks to everyone who helped set stuff normal. Wild couple days, right?

EXANDRIANS

Hey, you all doing okay?

And um do places and creatures from home pop up here a lot like that or was that new? I've been here a while now, but just checking.

FCG

Just wanted to check in on how you were feeling, too.
