There is no doubt that Boggy is the very best emotional support frog familiar that there is, but I have been considering maybe getting a not familiar pet once it's more into summer. Thoughts on the sort of pet would be best for someone whose sole experience has been with the most laid back familiar in existence?

TEENS

Hey! Hello. I don't know if anyone else would be interested in this, but I thought maybe it would be nice to have some kind of graduation or end of school or just a celebration of it being summer party? Would any of you be into that? It just feels like it would be nice. I don't usually do party planning or throw parties at all, but I have a house it could be at?

ETA: Since school is out on June 10, we'll aim to party on June 11!

I'm not sure if this is part of what's currently going on or not because I was already hearing butterflies earlier in the week. Thankfully that's over, but I woke up with wings. Long black ones that I'm not even sure how they tuck away and disappear but they do?

It would be really nice if there was some sort of half-celestial handbook laying around to explain any of this crap is all I'm saying.

If I get a halo I'm burning it. Those better not actually be a thing.

I already have some powers and I can usually magically do my own make up, but today I noticed while I was waiting to be interviewed at a makeup store that a cashier's nails we wretched and she would look much better with a simple pink polish and POOF! They changed. I could do it for my interviewer too, but not on me.

Useless, but hey, I got the job. Anyone need a makeover?

HI I'M NEW AND I CANT GET CAPS TO TURN OFF? IS THIS USUAL HERE OR? BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I'M SHOUTING AND I HONESTLY ONLY SHOUT AT LIKE 3 PEOPLE AND YOU'RE NOT MADISON, LOGAN OR VINNY VAN LOWE. PROBABLY.

THE NAMES VERONICA MARS, SORRY TO SHOUT.

ALSO HAS ANYONE HERE SEEN ANYONE NAMED MAC OR WALLACE OR LOGAN? I THINK I SAW A CENTAUR WALKING DOWN THE STREET JUST NOW. WHICH...I GUESS IS NORMAL HERE? I NEED TO READ THIS PAMPHLET BETTER PROBABLY.

I'M DEFINITELY NOT IN NEPTUNE ANYMORE.

Is there anyone reading this who would be so kind as to assist Ed and myself in getting The Revenge back into water? She ran aground shortly after her arrival and I suspect she's been a bit of an eyesore to those who aren't used to having a galleon near their homes.

Important questions for whoever's here:

If I have a note from my doctor, can I just not? With everything? How do doctor notes from other worlds work here? Do I need a new one or wait for him to show up to give me a new one?

Does this place have Mountain Dew?

Also.

Hey Hazel. (Not a question I know.)

I know things might be off at the moment, but spring is in full force, and our spring menu at Galdin Quay has been updated to reflect that.

I'm accepting taste testers for the summer recipes I've been putting together. If you would like to be one of eight (not counting my partners, they are biased and eat anything I put in front of them) for taste testing in May, please sign up here by listing your favorite food (I'm looking for a variety of taste palates).

There is always at least one vegetarian option for each course, but summer's focus will be on fresh, bright flavors and it involves a great deal of fish, fruits, and vegetables.

Picky eaters welcome, I relish the challenge.

Does anyone have an idea for how to block out sunlight, or light (in general), for someone so that they can go outside? I know there are those who are sensitive to sunlight and still able to go out during the day, but I'm looking more for something that makes light mostly...imperceptible? I don't know how else to explain it, but I can certainly try to!

FRIENDS & FAMILY OF KATOU

I still can't 100% tell if this new behavioral shift is due to what's affecting other Outlanders right now, or if it's something different. He has the same signs as the others in that he's acting like an entirely different person, but Katou is actually still very much himself. I can sense his general plant makeup and he's still Katou. Either way, I want him to be comfortable for however long he thinks he's [...] Nekozawa.

TEXTS TO HAZEL

» Should we start working on War Games soon? What do we still need?
» Also how are you? Things good?

TEXTS TO TINA

» I'm calling dibs on some sister time soon.

TEXTS TO JAMES & TORUNN

» Do you two camp? I feel the need to go camping.

It's still strange, even after having been here for so long, waking up on the first day of Spring and not having to do anything to actually make the first day of Spring happen. My mother would disown me if she knew how lazy I'd gotten since arriving in Vallo. That being said, this is still my absolute favorite time of year and I want to share it with anyone who would like for me to, so if you'd like to see any particular flora around Vallo, or want some new plants for your gardens, or even just an assortment of flowers for a nice Spring bouquet that will last you through the season, let me know! I'd love to give as much Spring back to Vallo as I can.

But first I'm going to enjoy another piece of birthday cake.

HADES
Hey, you. Are you busy at the moment?

[TEAM VOLTRON + SABRINA & HAZEL]

Does anyone want to meet a giant tortoise? I don't think he'll be afraid of you, Hazel.

[TEAM ASGARDIANS (LOKI, THOR, TORUNN)]

Hi. I wanted you guys to know that Freya's home from Midgard arrived today? It's protected by Vanir magic and I don't want to take them down because that feels like a violation? But I thought you guys might want to visit? If you don't, that's okay, but I can tell you the password so you can go to it anytime you want.

[Filtered away from Fen]

Can anyone tell me if there are places that offer horseback riding to the public? Not lessons, just riding for fun/leisure.

Oh HELLO TINY ONES what a delight for you that I am talking to you on this small thing!

Once, Nandor and Laszlo and I all went to see the most INCREDIBLE necromancer. Oh yes Colin Robinson and Guillermo were there too. And the documentary crew!!! Which, if anyone is interested in being a documentary crew ... person, do let us know, we're very interesting to listen to, you follow us around, you record us with the ... cameras, we tell you about our days, it is so much fun!



Completely unrelated, our documentary crew did have the unfortunate habit of dying. But one was 26 years old, he had lived a VERY LONG life really it was just a matter of time you know.

Our necromancer sold name keychains! I had Nadia, the boring version of Nadja, Nandor chose Steve, not sure why but I suppose Nandor The Rentless may be difficult to find, and Guillermo chose Gigi because Guillermo Greenburg Buillermo would not fit on one. I have ... obtained MANY for all of you so that I may know your names better, please tell me your name and I will supply you with an appropriate one.



Also, Nandor, I need to have PMS with you, make that happen now.






I mean a private messaging system.

Fuck it. That is all. Or if you feel inclined, tell me a secret.

Well, that was the second worst ten-day span of my life, thank you very much. The cats were certainly happy to see me again, so at least there's that (my thanks to to those who were able to care for them in my absence).

This whole experience has done nothing do much as make me even more curious of the magic in this place. I'd like to conduct interviews with anyone willing to discuss their magic with me; I've the most interest in magic regarding leylines or foresight, though I'm happy enough to talk any other sorts as well.

I was kind of hoping he'd stick around this time. If anyone needs me, I'm going to be at the training grounds.

[filtered to new asgard, friends, family]

Well, I never want to see a Jello mold again after yesterday but - we're okay over here (me, Edwin, Lena) and I just wanted to give a quick check-in.

Someone please check on Sleipnir, Firehooves, and Croki because Loki's probably stomping around mad. Ástvinur, I know you're mad.

Also I'm missing me and Prue's cooking class and we were supposed to do blintzes this week. Damnit.

Sorry for the delay in follow up to Mei's post. Sirius has been in a coma since the attack and only just woke up. I'd appreciate it if everyone would take a moment to give him a stern look the next time you see him. This is the second time he's scared the hell out of me.

Covens and other orgnaizations are coming together to help rebuild after the attack of the...things. I've heard from a few and said I would pass on the message of how anyone who might want to help, can. Many people are taking this destruction as an opportunity to build back stronger, and help others to do the same.


Volunteers
-Enki is funding a lot of this, and using the opportunity to incorporate more green technology throughout Vallo for those who are interested.
-The team at Papa's Pride are stepping up to help strenghten shields around buidling and working collaboratively with Enki.
- Silniara is opening up their doors for anyone who needs assistance with injuries.
- Cerberus' Books, Salie Coven, and newcomers Two Chicks Cafe are offering meals to those currently displaced from their homes from the attack, and those helping with teh rebuild.

- The Barnes is offering delivery of eggs, milk, and essentials to farms in the forest.

Where to Help
- MageNet grounds were hit hard by the attack, including the Aviary and the Skyline Towers, where a lot of coven members live.
- Severeal greenhouses owned by Silniara have suffered extreme damage. Plants are currently being protected by a steady source of magic.
- Soups Soups Soups is rebuidling, as many of you are aware and are currently heartbroken over. I get it.
- The building that houses Baker, Pearson, & Wu and their neighbors was severly damaged.
