RESCUERS

I kept some of the healing potions aside for us. Most were donated to the larger pool, please do not lecture me, but I wanted to make sure we had some as well, just in case. Find me if you want to keep one on your person.

Oh. Ah-- Is everyone relatively all right for now?

This is a terrible idea, but I

Caleb? I have been told you are here, but I do not know if you utilize this network.

Rebels + Vallo Outlander Arrivals

Okay this was all a lot today, but now that our [...] guests have been given the rundown, you all have your devices, we can answer some of your questions. I think we're all adjusting, so just bear with us. For some of us, it's been a long time since we've seen you. In some instances, if ever.

I'm also going to reiterate, please don't leave our location without bringing one of us with you. This isn't the Vallo you know and what we're dealing with is pretty shitty, so until we can figure out a larger plan, staying put is going to be safest. It's not just the Echoes. It's the people you think you know.

Alright, have your reunions and ask your questions.

We have over 30 missing Outlanders so far and more names are still coming in. The portal they went through is still open, and now protected by a barrier so we don't lose track of anyone else for now, but it does seem to be a working portal, but we cannot guarantee that it is a two-way street, given our friends and family have not stepped back through yet we have to assume the way may be blocked on their side.

We still plan to launch a rescue mission, but the group going through also needs to be aware of the risks and be able and willing to set up communications in the event that a return trip won't be immediate.

The DOA is going to be confirming the list of those missing so we have exact names and numbers, and studying the portal to ensure it's safe to travel through.

The current plan is that tomorrow we'll send a group through, if you wish to sign up to be on the rescue mission, put your name here and be at the DOA offices in the morning for a full briefing. Pack ONE bag, no larger than what you can carry and run with, and bring your weapons of choice.

[ooc note: posted right after portal appears/disappearances happen]

Um uh

Hey, anyone else in the city see that? I'm at the bookstore and was talking to Caleb and saw what looked like some massive creature just disappear through a portal, I think? It's hard to see through the buildings, but there's something going on and--



And is anyone else suddenly missing?? Because Caleb and Frumpkin were right here and now they're both gone.



ETA: People are missing with no list, but I figure someone will want to have one to keep track? So I'll add to this as people make mention.

I am never going house hunting again.

[Yelena]

Drinks?

[Atreus]

Hey, can you watch Chris tonight?

I don't know about you guys, but I'm kind of pissed about missing Fall entirely. And other things, like a wedding.

The last restaurant I went to was highly anti-baby friendly and my formerly favourite wine bar is now full of influencers. Need new recommendations for being social out in public with AND without small children/babies.

Also would love it if the bar chairs don't try to eat me.

[ FILTERED TO KATE BISHOP ]
So that was an interesting trial run, but you're off the case and onto real ones starting after the holidays. I have one highly contested divorce that is inter-coven and involves a blood pact and a will that the deceased's ghost husband is protesting. I'll give you the files that you need to go over so that you know what you're walking into, in the new year. But if you have a few days next week where you're free, we're going to have a few magic lessons to help you avoid detection through extra sensory means.

Apparently I worked at the Underground as a trainer and didn't know about that until I was walking by the place and it triggered a memory. So I went in, got to talking to management, and I'm starting up sessions again at the Underground a couple of days a week. Group sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays, individual sessions on an as need basis. If you're looking to sharpen up whatever skills you do have or are looking to learn self defense, come find me or message me.

I'll be focused on knife fighting, boxing, Taekwondo, and Krav Maga. Open to other martial arts and hand to hand.

And if you have a problem with a baby watching me kick your ass into shape, do not take this class. This is part of her training.

Hello, I'm back, but not here to rip out any hearts unless you ask nicely.

I'm working on getting things sorted, but Henry's a baby now because Vallo made a choice. I'm not complaining, but this means diapers, sleepless nights, and me not being able to work fulltime at my old law firm until I can figure that out. I need a babysitter and my go tos are gone (what the fuck, Vallo) or don't remember me (what the fuck, Nyx).

I'll accept applications here.

Once that's sorted, I'll be needing some help when I'm working fulltime again. I need an investigator on my payroll to help me work my cases. No real requirements other than light feet and a can do attitude. No perkiness..

I'll also accept applications for that here.

Business out of the way, who is serving the best wine right now? Everything's different, did you guys rebuild some things?

Has anyone who's suffered memory loss woken up with things restored as of yet? It seems I need a timeline of how long before this might be fixed, and when Vallo will right itself.

[FILTERED AWAY FROM GLADIOLUS & PROMPTO]
I am on vacation for the next two weeks starting tomorrow. We are getting married in exactly 5 days, Thursday is our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. I am finalizing the menu with the caterer today, and the headcounts. Our wedding attire is at least finished with its final fittings.

Prompto and Gladio have both been hit with whatever this is. I don't have details yet, because Prompto spent twenty minutes hiding in the bathroom until Noctis just barged in and then he finally came out for breakfast. Gladio clarified a bit, but the best I've determined is that things are a far cry from our usual relationship.

I haven't the faintest if they've written their vows. Or if they'll be turned back by Saturday. Or if they'll remember any of this.

Vallo once again proves that it is nigh impossible to plan things and that all future engagements should be of the utmost chaos and done without previous planning. We should have eloped.

If you made it this far into my stress rants, please feel free to send alcohol.

TEXTS TO NOCTIS:
» Traditionally I think you're supposed to have some kind of rager to celebrate your upcoming wedding and/or celebrate your last bout of freedom.
» But rager doesn't seem your style, and I don't really think any of you are viewing a loss of freedom here, so... beers? Fishing?

Ásynja Meadery will go on. Torunn worked too hard on it for us to shutter its doors. The Palace is gone, however. We did transplant a lot of the fruit bearing trees to the winery with help from Freya months ago, so some of the garden lives on.

We do need more help though. Bartenders, one more bar manager, an event planner, and brewers. Someone that likes numbers would be great as well. I'm told keeping profits in gold bars is a bad idea and I have something called taxes?

Thank you to those that reached out. I'm sorry I wasn't very responsive, it was just a lot at once.

As fun as all this musical and future kid chaos is - can't believe you guys made me a grandpa already - anyone free to watch Lucy for a few hours?

And then anyone strong enough to lift a wooden beam, I need your help.

Uh, not sure what's going on here and I'm figuring someone fucked up with magic somewhere along the line, but...

( Does this belong to someone? )

[ooc; The baby in hand is much younger and Asian, but same vibes! Posted right after this and breakfast.]

Does anyone want a stubborn father need anything after all of [...] uh, that, yesterday? Atlantis took a pretty big hit too since the Flan-ken thing started in the water, if anyone's free to head down there and help them out. Nothing in the forest was hit as badly as the Creepy Fuckers, thankfully, and a lot of wards held up that I saw in the forest? So that's a good sign!

I'll be at my usual farms re-doing any wards that need it and then heading down to Atlantis, so if you need anything from me or see any wards of mine around the forest that took a hit, let me know? Or if you know of someone that could use some help after everything put it here and people can use this as a catch-all.

Also! Hey! Good job! I don't know who needs to hear this but working as a community and a team for fights and the recovery and rebuilding has been one of my favorite things here in Vallo. Even when You guys are all great, and I'm proud to be a part of all of this.

I'm trying to win an argument with someone and...weirdest porn category you've found? Go.

How many musicians do we currently have present who are bored and potentially looking for other bored musicians to make noise with?

[ NYX, BUCKY, & SABRINA ]
Hi there, you probably don't really know me that well, but you may know the other Morningstar's running around here. I'm Rory, hey.

Sabrina and I have a Very Important Mission to fulfill, and you might be the only two who could help us.

If we promise to take excellent care of them, and have them back in a couple of hours, could we borrow a goat? For a photoshoot. Inspired by the calendar but entirely G rated.

Guessing there's a lag factor to this whole - thing. Given my husband woke up and is twelve.

Alright, not technically twelve but you know, relatively.

It's been a fun morning.
