Ha! You guys all thought I was fucking crazy, but eat it. I knew I'd find her. Never doubt the Orcot Gut Instincts.

Welcome home, Revy, you crazy bitch. I'll be waiting at the apartment for you with a couple of bloody steaks, a case of beer, and a bottle of the best rum I can find.

Hey, Kate's been watching Chris for like a week. You guys mind taking over tonight while Rev and I get reacquainted?

Did anyone else make it through? Is anyone else in the middle of the forest? There's a group of us here, but we're still trying to figure out where exactly we are.

I know we hate these fucking portals, but there better be one because there is not a chance in the hells that both my fiance and sister disappeared right in front of me and it can't be fixed.

No place better to start a list.

Good afternoon. You're on the list of invites for a small get-together that Kate wants because she doesn't want to make a big deal about it (honestly, I don't blame her, I'm always like that on my birthdays too). I'm pretty sure I'd be missing people because I don't keep track of everyone she knows.

I mean, I could but then she'd tell me I'm being the scary ass spy Yelena again so.

Anyway, this Friday evening, 7PM at our house. There's at least two kids here, so we won't get too rowdy. Before you invite anyone, make sure to ask Kate first if it's okay.

Okay, I feel like I'm kind of getting the hang of this now. Still feels really weird for my whole body to stretch or shrink or whatever, but it's much more fun when it's something I can actually control.

ALSO - Happy Pi Day to the math geeks. And if you're not a math geek, it looks like it's also National Potato Chip Day in America, so celebrate and get yourself a bag of chips.



(By the way, Leon, you win best grumpy face.)

Oi. Who's got my magic? This sort of thing is considered very taboo where I come from, although I appreciate it's another amusing Vallo quirk, it doesn't mean I have to like it.

I have a sword now. A magical sword, so that's a thing and I'm not sure what to think about it. Also, it was sticking out of my coffee table Sword-in-The-Stone style. I've already pulled it out and no one crowned me the king of anything. (I need a new coffee table).

Can I talk to you?

I would like to learn how to actually use this sword. Would you be willing to teach me?

Alright so, I've been thinking with these alternate worlds and portals and shit. There seems to just be an infinite number of possibilities, but I guess that was always fucking obvious given how we're all from our own weirdo worlds and some are super samesie but just off axis just a smidge or whatever.

So here's what I'm curious about. Share with the class something about your world that's totally fucking normal to you, but someone from another would stare at you like you sprouted additional heads if you told them. This can be something big (example: the moon is a prison) to something smaller (example: broccoli is sentient), whatever you want. Fucking dazzle me.

AKA I'm pretty sure I've watched every documentary there fucking is and I need to be entertained, let's go.

I've been in Vallo for 4 years now, which means I've also known Shiro for 4 years now, and I don't mean to be sappy but I genuinely don't know what I'd do without you guys.

I know it's a weekday, and I know everyone has to get up early in the morning, and we've got kids to take care of, but father said he'd watch any of the kids if I wanted to go out, and I really really want to get drunk tonight. I've been good, and I've been sad, and I'm tired of being sad. Does anyone want to come keep me out of trouble? I might ramble about mistletoe again, Catra.

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.

Let me preface this post by saying I know what I'm discussing here will make people uncomfortable. Trust me when I say it's necessary information, and I am not letting any command withhold any more vital information.

Captain Alarie has been found on his ship. Unfortunately, he's long dead - I'd guess for weeks - and covered in slime. We've also confirmed via this morning's autopsy that Daud's body was filled with slime. Between this and the intel we've received from other Vallo, I think it's safe to assume the slime Saferra has been working with may be responsible for V.A.L.L.O.'s troubles this week.

Whatever measures we may take to deal with this problem, I'd advise finding a buddy. Don't let your close ones out of your sight.

Power is back on in the barracks.

The outage was a result of deliberate sabotage to the electrical system. The culprit is unknown for now, but the situation has been reported to the captain.

When you have time, go to your pod and do an inspection, and report back if anything went missing or was disturbed in the dark.

>>You saw Kara's post?
>>We're going, right?

Can't be real. Can't be. Has to be another portal thing. Right? Has to be.

Hey, does this guy belong to anyone? He might just be a stray or whatever the bird equivalent is of that, but I thought I'd check while he's chilling in my backyard. It's been a weekend of getting pets back, so I figure you never know?

SO, Daud's translated-into-our-months birthday is tomorrow, and I was thinking we should do dinner over at the house. I'm planning on sweet-talking Yelena into helping me make pirozhki.

[PRIVATE MESSAGE TO DAUD]

Dinner tomorrow night? You're welcome to help cook if you want, but we're doing something for your birthday. You deserve it.
