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.

Feeling ready for exam week?

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.

First of all, thanks to everybody who came to save the little village. They're really grateful and so am I.

Second thing, um...the villagers were definitely doing stuff that I didn't write in. Like, my note on Miffany is "cute bar wench, wants to go to wizard college," and that's it. I didn't write that relationship with Bellamy Corsaire at all - he was supposed to be looking for someone else to do the job because he was too drunk, not because he was too sad.

What I'm saying is, this seems to have turned into a real world. Which I'm not really sure what to do about, but it feels like we should do something? Like put it somewhere safer, or get another god in the pantheon, or something? I don't know the ethics of "my half-finished D&D campaign came to life," could kind of use a real adult here.

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.

Hey Billy! Have you maybe got time this week to do a little bit of magic for the advancement of roleplaying?

See, El and I made this map and some cool miniatures, and we're pretty much finished with this stage of it, and it's looking really good, so we wanted to see if you could help us make it look even better. Like, more realistic textures and stuff, maybe help us set it up so the pieces can move on player command or something. Could you do something like that? And if you can, would you?

I just want you to know I didn't forget to make our reservation at the Canteen, I just forgot to tell you I made our reservation at the Canteen. We're all set for cool cat dinner before prom next weekend.

The guy finished the alterations on the suit, and you were right, the purple looks cool. Do you have time to show me the other ways to tie a tie sometime this week?

Okay, I've got the dinner reservations. I have my suit. I have El's corsage ordered to pick up on Friday. El has our ride taken care of. Am I forgetting any important prom stuff?

Hey, I'm looking for odd jobs that a teenager is allowed to do so I can pick up some extra money to pay for prom stuff. So if anybody needs, like...a bookshelf put together or their library catalogued or the oil changed in their car or something, call me. I want my girlfriend to be able to order an appetizer at pre-prom dinner if she wants.

Hey Mr. Laurence, this is Mike, Nancy's brother. You also might remember me from helping out with the kid camp at Art of Expression back when everybody got turned into kids.

I wanted to ask for some I guess fashion advice? El and I are going to the prom in May, and you're supposed to dress formal for that. I've never dressed any more formal than basic going to church clothes, so I have no idea what I'm doing. You always look really sharp, so I was hoping maybe you could help me with figuring out what to wear for this?

Hello to all of my most special children!!! I want to remind all of you that you are precious creations who must nurture your bodies AND your minds AND your souls so please attend Tommy's yoga and meditation class today. You will feel refreshed and instantly calmer, and I can say I have never been more limber or felt at greater peace!

I know we are facing adversity and hardship. The days are long and stretch on. My angels, I hope you know that you can always come to me and I will listen, I feel your pain as my own. But if you cannot (or if I am out hunting animals to eat, that in and of itself PAINS me to do and yet I must in order to survive and be amongst my loves!!!!!) please, find someone to speak to. We are all in this together!!!!

Now, please, share your announcements, news, something you are struggling with, or something that you want to celebrate about your other community members. Me, although I do not like to single any of you out, Daud is as always on top of his information game and only needed reminding three times to stay hydrated yesterday!!!

REMEMBER TO STAY HYDRATED, CHILDREN!!!!

HELP.

My English teacher asked us to bring in an example of a modern song in the style of a 16th century seduction poem. Literally all I can think of is Marvin Gaye, "Let's Get It On", and I don't even like that song. Does anybody have any better ideas?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

There's nothing like knowing you just scored the perfect Christmas present for somebody. I actually shouted "YES!" out loud in a public place when I found it. I'm gonna be high on this all day.

Guess what I found at the record store? My "what the hell do I get Hopper for Christmas" panic is cancelled, because the answer to that question is FIVE Jim Croce albums! And they weren't even that expensive, because people in Vallo don't know who that is!

I'm gonna be picking up Eddie's DMing for kids on Sundays at Wicked Games. It's kind of intimidating trying to pick up where the master left off, but I'm gonna do my best. So if you have kids who play, go ahead and bring them: the battle to defeat The Dark Omnificus and rescue the Unicorn Princess is still on.

So obviously our gaming group has taken a big hit. I wanted to ask you guys if you want to keep going with this campaign and come up with something to do with Eddie and Dustin's characters, start something new with just us, start something new and try to recruit a couple more people, put the whole thing on hold indefinitely, or put the whole thing on hold for a set amount of time (like a month or something).

I'll roll with whatever you guys want to do, but I'm hoping you'll want to continue in some way at some point. You're both great players and I like playing with you.

If it's not too much of a hassle, I need to be excused from work for the next two days, three days top.

(It’s a beautiful autumn evening on the front porch of Hawkins House. They’ve been through a lot recently, and it’s hard to find the fun and the joy they’ve usually felt in this place. As Mike looks at El in the moonlight, though, he’s suddenly overwhelmed by just how much he adores the girl next to him, and utterly amazed that somehow she feels the same. As the feeling hits, that’s when the music starts.)

(The dance is concluded not with a lift that would definitely get one of them killed but with Mike twirling El around and dipping her low over his arm. For just a second, they freeze, letting the image settle for the audience, and as the music cuts off, Mike breaks out laughing. This is the stupidest, best thing he's ever done.)

I’m coming home early. Just generally check in, and let know if anyone has eyes on Mike.

Breaking shit helped for me so if you want to do that, let me know. Just tell me where you are and I’ll come to you.

So by now ah- most of you are aware we had a situation at the Library. We still don't have all of the details - I don't know if we ever will, but what we do know is this:

Ashurbanipal, King of Assyria, approached the library this morning, and challenged King Noctis in an attempt to rule Vallo? Unaware that Noctis is not the King of Vallo.

He threatened Nancy, and the Library wards went defensive, one of the skeletons was killed in the mess, and the King took that as a challenge.

The library went into lockdown mode, and there was a fight. I do believe they underestimated a whole group of librarians.

Nancy was able to knock the amulet off of the King's neck, and that was when the skeletons all disappeared? We have it now, but the amulet is damaged, and the king is gone. I put it in a protected vault for the moment but we'd feel more comfortable if one of the covens takes it, so we're going to reach out to them later for that.

We do have some casualties and people are being taken to the clinic now, but I don't think anything was fatal. Mike, Darlington took Nancy there just a few minutes ago and you may want to visit.

Full disclosure that I am also on my way there now, but I was told by triage that it "should be an easy heal". I didn't even realize I just had a

If anyone has any other information to share, we'd love to hear it at the library, since we'll be documenting this in its entirety.
