vallo

Hello. I’m Tiberius, but you can call me Ty, everyone does. I'm new here, and I have a lot of commentary and/or questions so I will put them in list form for ease of reading. The office was loud and

1. Has anyone successfully avoided being taken into the Department of Outlander Affairs office and remained unseen on arrival? I am not used to being seen when I don't want to be, that part was strange.

2. Do the words Nephilim, Downworlder, Shadowhunter, or Clave mean anything to anyone?

3. Has Sherlock Holmes ever been here Have any communication attempts back home ever succeeded? I assume people have tried many times.

4. Can anyone tell me more about the Covens? Is it true there is one dedicated solely to necromancy, and that is magic used here a lot, and is not forbidden or against the law?

5. Has anyone here traveled to the faerie realm and if so what was it like? I’m curious how it compares to the one in my world but I don’t have as much experience there either, just what my siblings have told me.

6. The library is very nice. I like it there.

I'm down to five boxes of sticky notes from the twenty "Ella" ordered and I'm ready to give them away. Who needs to adhere their lives to every surface around them? They'll come with bonus glitter pens!

I'm in the mood to sing my little heart out, who wants to come find some karaoke with me? Or start some, I'm not picky. I just want group numbers.

We can get lip sync for the less brave, I've got your back.

Listen listen. Vallo listen.

You are so rude sometimes bjt i guess I still love you even id yoj havent brought back margo yet

Not again.

A note to my friends and anyone who happens to see me decked out in bi colors and varying stages of dress:

I, Vax'ildan Occasionally Vessar But Definitely Eventually Gilmore, will not drunkenly post all over the network this year. I enjoy Pride. I enjoy it, perhaps, a wee bit too much. I've gotten sloppy three in a row and this streak needs to be broken before it becomes habit.

So, if you see me typing away in anything other than a texting app so I can find my fiance that I will inevitably wander away from and get lost, you have permission to slap the phone out of my hand.

Alright, that's all, have a good night.

Does this house look familiar to anyone?

[pretend there's a photo of Black Elm here please]

I'm on a run with my hounds in the forest and haven't ever seen this one in this general area before. It's giving me Overlook vi

So I know the whole moving in the middle of the night could have jostled things but does anyone else feel...different? Like, stronger, I guess?

What's up, assholes. Using these things so you folks in the past are up to speed on where the fuck we're at with all this stuff. I'm not apologizing for my handwriting.

So the info that our time traveling wizard duo was able to pull from 2023 (with the help of you fine nerds back there too, thank you for that) was actually good shit, because as of a bit ago we were able to use it to figure out where the weapon is at that we can use to take down Interitus once you folks in the past destroy the simulacrum. It's in the city, because of fucking course it is, hidden away.

Naturally this means we have to put a group together to extract it. We've got our secret hidey hole way into the city to get in, but we're going to need a mix of Sneaky Shits and Fighty Fucks to do it, so ivolunteerastribute.gif and all that shit below, visitors and our regular crew alike. As always, this isn't a guaranteed safety sort of situation, but we'll need to get a lay of the land ahead of time to at least mitigate. They're a bunch of dicks, though, so no doubt something will come up so know that before you step up.

More details incoming once we have a better idea as to the group we're looking at and once we've got it secure, that's one step closer to getting this asshole fucking gone.

Hey folks, welcome to the shitty future you're hoping to avoid for yourselves. Thanks for coming.

When you came from, the network is for fun. Here, it's the primary communication medium for a resistance that's scrambling to survive, and it's under constant attack and held together with paperclips and hope. This means:

• Don't try to run a bunch of data across it unless you need to. Keep your comms to text as much as possible.
  
• SECURITY IS PARAMOUNT. You'll notice the passphrase requirements are stricter than on the network you came from. That's because Murderbot got hacked/enthralled and he can bruteforce your oh-so-clever "password1" in about two seconds without even having to know you'd pick a password that dumb in the first place.
  
• Smash your device to pieces before you let it fall into the hands of the enemy.

This is so awkwa Figured out time travel, but did not plan how to

Hello. It feels odd to introduce myself as many of you already know me, but I am Essek Widogast and I'm here with Caleb (also) Widogast. If my husband's perfect recall can be relied upon, which I am willing to stake most everything on it, the versions of us that you know normally should still be deep within the Aeor that was brought to Vallo, being very much themselves while surrounded by ancient Exandrian magic and technology.

Which is to say, and I'm doing a poor job of getting to the point, we are from a different timeline and time. A few hours ago, we were in 2033 within a branch of the future that is hopefully not your own. The Temporal Concurrence and the aligning of the leylines does, it seem, allow for some otherwise so-called impossible magic when one(s) puts many months of work into entirely too many sleepless nights their wizard mind(s) to it.

I cannot promise to keep a long story short as there are many moving parts and I tend to be accidentally verbose in the best of times, but I think many of you may remember the attack from Interitus that happened in August of 2021. He was not as gone as we had all hoped and is now wreaking havoc upon my and Caleb's timeline. Thanks to the concurrence and the influx of magic, our intel is advising that he is planning on ascending beyond his current form into something akin to godhood. Should he do so, his powers will be made more or less limitless and there will be no stopping him from traveling freely within timelines to destroy every version of Vallo, as has been his will all along. Our version has just been practice for him.

As for why we have broken through literal time and space to visit the past, we are seeking aid. This has already been discussed with the DOA, but there are a few things that we are here for specifically.

First, Interitus is using a simulacrum of sorts as a power focus, which has allowed him to bide his time in our world and eventually build up enough power in secret to take over. We believe that this simulacrum had already arrived in March of 2023--in February, specifically. We do not know where, but our hope is that you fine people will be able to locate and destroy it, specifically at the height of the concurrence to not give away our plans.

Second, Caleb and I are in search of a very specific tome from the Great Library. We unfortunately do not have access to the Library in our time as you do now, but we believe that the tome we are looking for has information regarding locating the object needed to pierce through Interitus's magical defenses. If any librarian friends are willing to volunteer to help with that, as we do need this before we return to our time tomorrow, it would be greatly appreciated.

Finally, and I realize that this is the largest ask of them all, a vision from one of the Prigany psychics has shown us that there are specific people in the future that aid in the efforts. Our understanding is that these people come to us from your timeline and travel to our own. We have a list of those people, who I will be filtering separately with more information. Please know there is no expectation. We are not here to force anyone to help, regardless of psychic visions.

This is long and a great deal of information for a Monday, I understand. Caleb and I are here to answer any questions that we can--at least those questions that do not pose more harm to the timelines than our being here already might.

Queer Women with Sharp Objects, we must meet because I am going through a withdraw of both. This weekend? Friday night? Both?

Once again, I provide the following frequently asked questions:

Q. What do you define as queer?
A. Good news for all, I do not, you define yourself and if anyone tries to give you shit about it, I have been told I have 'big step on me' energy (which is true, and I will step) (on necks) (or whatever else).

Q. What is a sharp weapon?
A. Traditionally, this comes in the form of something with a blade component--examples include but are not limited to axes, knives, swords, war fans, scythes, but please, be creative. I love to see it.

Q. I have never used a sharp weapon before, does that matter?
A. No, not particularly. I would not recommend attempting one without tutelage, but I know there are many qualified people who are ready and able to assist. At the worst, you will learn what is not for you. At the best, who knows!

Q. Will there be drinks and snacks.
A. Yes, absolutely, though perhaps not at the same time as the sharp weapon using. Although again, who is to say.

Help me out. Yes or no on these boots?

It's disappointing that I missed out on seeing hell simply because I do not feel guilty about my life choices.

Hell number two has exited the chat, the only one left is the one in the forest. Is everyone accounted for?

Is it bad if I've found myself wondering whether you could get through hell to the other side?

What's the worst that could happen, right? Oh no, I might end up in another dimension where things keep trying to kill me... or I could end up home, which is the same thing.

Normally I'm quite adept with customer service. Even dealing with the difficult ones! (I have plenty of practice, thanks to one Ronan Lynch.) But right now I find myself at wit's end with two particularly bothersome demonic patrons at the library and I haven't been able to successfully convince them to leave.

My next step is to remove them forcefully but I'd prefer someone used to this brand of demons before risking any damage to the library. Lucifer? Rory? Sabrina? [...] Bueller?

Lucifer, my father is now missing. Please check your nightmare kingdom. If he is there, I will lay waste to any demon who goes near him.

Trapped include:

1. Thor
2. Roz
3. Stiles
4. Peter
5. Dream

Okay. Hoping this isn't the case, like, REALLY REALLY HOPING, but.. Peter and I had plans today and he hasn't shown up. He also isn't answering my calls.

Has anyone seen him? Can anyone help look?
