vallo

Thank you, loyal Cleric of Me, for the book of names. I'm going to say one more time that THEY WERE PLACEHOLDERS...but I guess you guys are right, I can't just be naming people Miffany.

Hey Mr. Laurence, just wanted to let you know I've got exams next week, but after that I'll be available for more sheep work for the summer if you need it. I'll still have my Thursday and Friday afternoon and all day Saturday/Sunday shifts at Wicked, but Monday through Wednesday are wide open and Thursday and Friday I'll be available all morning.

Okay, so I have a small problem. Literally.

El and I made this map we’ve been calling Vallo Village, right? And we got Billy to do some magic to make it look a little more realistic, which worked, but maybe worked a little too well. Or not exactly. Ms. Maximoff says it seems like sympathetic magic from Vallo got involved because I based some of the map on an old part of the city.

Anyway the point is I just got a prayer? from the village? for help from mighty adventurers?.

It looks like my campaign is happening whether it’s finished or not, so basically I really need some people to come down and save a tiny village from [...] okay I can’t type it, wtf. Call it certain peril. I need people to go into the map and save the village from certain peril. I can’t tell you what the peril is for some reason, probably the magic again, but the peril is bad and it’s going to ruin the lives of all these people who were supposed to just be fictional and now are real.

So, uh…who wants to be an adventurer? Ms. Maximoff says she can work with the magic that’s affecting the map using my extra miniatures, if we can get people to volunteer to be bound to them for a little bit. You’ll just have to kind of be a character while you’re in there - you’ll have whatever powers the miniature’s class comes with, and you should probably come up with a name.

Anyone? Please, I know this sounds stupid, but that little town is a real little town now, and they need our help.

So this wasn't where I was initially planning on making a cross-universe trip to (unless Vallo is the new name for Fillory but I highly doubt it), but from what I've heard, I'm here for either a short time or a long time and I have no choice in it, so might as well get myself comfortable.

1. I'm Julia Wicker... 2. you have a LOT of magic here, and 3. anyone know where I can potentially get an affordable set of clothes for a baby who is between 1-2 months old? I didn't exactly get a chance to pack a bag.

Not to brag, but in exactly one whole ass month we're celebrating the fact that we've kept this little gremlin alive for a whole ass year: ( cut for image! )

Anyway, Adora and I have done a lot of trial-and-error smash cakes so I think we're ready for that part. We haven't hashed out party details or anything yet, but obviously friends and anyone else here with their own gremlins are invited. Probably something outside of Darla? We have Big Cats to pet? And not in that fucking Joe Exotic way, that guy can choke.

My sculpture final cracked in the kiln. Don't mind me, I'm just going to spend the rest of the day crying and frantically trying to redo it in time to turn in.

CLAY. I hate clay. Clay can go to Heck.

I've only half tested this whole I Can Turn Into An Earth Titan thing now and I feel like that's fucking sad. What's the point of being able to turn into an earth titan if you don't know what it's all about, right? Exactly.

So who wants to possibly get punched in the face and/or slammed by a hammer via an earth titan and spar and shit. I'll supplement your time with drinks, because that's how fucking nice I am.

Is everyone accounted for or do we need to go fuck up more angry trees?

hey I got another sighting on that cat beast whatever the hell it is. saw it getting bullied by some ants so groot and I stepped in. it disappeared before I could try and COMMUNICATE of course. it didn't fight back though. ain't sure if it can't or if it just won't. I mean it's got claws right? anyway groot tried catching a scent to follow it but he got distracted by squirrels so there's that.

think I mighta got some readings on my datapad that could be useful. guess we'll see. anybody want to see what barbecued ant tastes like?

Happy March, everyone. Instead of trying to put in a bid for Galdin Quay and running it into the ground because I know nothing about running a restaurant (and that makes it way better in Sanji's hands), I'm taking over Galahd instead of trying to get my sex shop back.

So, coming back - in case it stopped, I'm not 100% on that - free first drink for newcomers!

Glenn, you all know and love Glenn, will be working the bar on some evening shifts - and has permission to give away or sell any leftover bagels from his day job. Is this a way for me to get him to direct traffic from the DOA to Galahd on day 1? MAYBE.

The lovely Yelena will be splitting some her time with the Meadery as well, so you'll find her at the bar as well!

Not only that, but we're bringing back Thursday Karaoke nights, starting next week. I upgraded the equipment and got a whole bunch of new songs for the catalog. Come check it out! Fridays and Saturdays we're welcoming live local music. If you've never seen a pixie punk band, you should come by tonight and see the Tragedy Dolls.

And just because I like to see Kellach's face when he tries new stuff, we'll be doing regular tastings of weird shit. It'll be hard to top salmon vodka, but I'll put in the work.

Inquiring to know if there is a very specific kind of pest control available in this world to handle a massive ant hill that is also spouting equally massive ants. And, no, my coffee isn't spiked. I almost wish it was.

So far they've all been running into the rest of the forest but two tried to climb Darla, scratched it up, and then were deterred by the pride of roaring cats we've got here. Please be careful out there for those working Defense. They look strong.

I know you've all heard the announcement of Daud's passing by now. I was the unlucky one to find him; I've seen a lot of death, but this might be one of the toughest ones yet. "Dad" was the best of the best, and so many of us wouldn't have been half the pilots we are without him

Whatever gods, beings, or forces you believe in, turn to them now for Daud. Echoing command, if anyone has any theories on what may have happened, come forward, and let's get this solved.

Global message, not at all directed at Hawkeye:

Today I have been asked for a space-hook, winter air for the landing vehicle tires, headlight fluid, and keys to the drop zone. I need you to limit your tormenting of junior enlisted to one prank per day. Some of us have work to do around here.

Hey Meadery, can we have speed-dating just for making friends? Speed...friending? I met so many cool people last night who I never would've met otherwise! It would be awesome to have an event like that where you could see if you get that instant friend-click with somebody. It's hard making friends in a new universe, and some of us could use the help!

(If you do it, get Countess Chocula and Eli to host again, they were amazing at making everything seem lighthearted and fun. Even though I will never get to be Countess Chocula's 9th husband :( because I'm not wealthy enough.)

I've been here for a few days now, and I think I've finally figured out how all this works, and I can see where I went wrong. See, I was looking for a badass chick named Revy, all covered in tattoos, who swore like a sailor and is way, way too trigger happy.

What I should've been looking for was Becky Lee. I bet she loves pink. And pigtails. And cute little ruffled mini-skirts. Probably knee-high socks and high heels? Oh, and she loves puppies and kitties and might even have a pony? Was definitely a cheerleader in high school.

Does this ring any bells? Will the real Becky Lee please stand up? And if you see this post and want to shoot me in the ass, I'll be waiting for you.
