vallo

While signing Willa up for little league I ended up volunteering to coach one of the teams. If you have a kid that wants to play, let me know.

If you have a business that would like to sponsor the team, get your name on the t-shirts, still looking for that as well.

I'm looking for someone who is willing to do some astral projection with me. I'll do the spell, I just need a co-traveller to do some exploring with me. Doesn't have to be a witch. Willing to bribe with cookies.

Anyone got an idea of how long it takes a body and mod to get fully in sync?

Vallo Outlanders. After addressing your DOA members, you are on the hook with the fae realm to assist in returning the following members of the royal family and courts from whatever your newest disaster has pulled them into.

Meriol and Thian Valmaris, my twin brothers
Selenia Greytree, my personal guard and mentor
Aurae Sylris, my father's advisor
Aien Keyzeiros, the Spring Court's representative for the council
Arryn Briarvale, the Unseelie ruling family's private healer
An informant from the Dusk Court who goes by the name Sparrow
And an absolutely horrible ex-best fr Clover

Captain Nightspark has also alerted me that Eidothea one of his enlisted members is also missing and breaking a contract the Wild Hunt holds between courts. If she is not found, he will require a replacement and I am not against offering one of you.

PRIVATE TO CYPRIAN.
I know you can see this. The DOA let me know another fae had registered for network access. The only reason I have not slit your throat immediately is that I believe getting my living brothers back is far more important vengeance at the moment. Stay out of my way and I won't gut you as you did to my brothers.

✔️ Confirmed I'll be able to graduate from my undergraduate here.
✔️ Confirmed my application to law school has been included in the application process despite being late due to time jumps. No word on acceptance or anything but it's something.
✔️ Moving this weekend into a new apartment. Let me know if I can bribe you with snacks to help me with my stuff.

❓️ Is anyone celebrating the superior Galentines Day?

SABRINA
I have less than welcoming news I need to tell you. You free for lunch today?

Setting myself up took up quite a bit of money, so I'm going to do a backwards want ad.

- I'm a lawyer, I studied at Columbia (if you don't know what that is, it's ... pretty damn good)
- I know English and Spanish
- I know several forms of martial arts, along with sword, chain, and staff training
- I have enhanced senses, something I normally don't advertise but this is the new world I'm in now...

What can I do for you?

I realize that time marches on, even in a pocket universe such as this, but nevertheless, I'd like to register the loss of my beloved pumpkin spice latte: I will see you next autumn, my favorite beverage, and although I will consume plenty of other things know that you are, as always, first in my heart.

Do you and your mother have anything planned for her birthday today? I thought I'd come over with dinner, but I didn't want to step on toes if you had something in the works. I realized belatedly that while I know her taste in alcohol very well I had no idea what sort of cake she might like. "Cake" is the birthday tradition here, correct?

A joyous birthday to you.

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.
- Bekth, Geliara, and Asetenarra are offering resources and assistance where they can.
- Vorerra Construction is offering buidlig materials and their Hotel division is offering temporary homes (I'm just the messenger).
- An Art fundraise is being lead by Brorose.
- 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.
- There are several small businesses reporting a wide range of damages, a comprehensive list can be found on several websites, including the Government of Vallo, Enki, and the DOA.
- Same with several communities in the woods, including several farms, homes, and small schools.
- The Leaky Cauldron needs assistance with strengthening wards around the building.
- Assistance repairing Prigany's caravans.

If anything has been updated or we're missing anything, please let me know!

While celebrations will be smaller now, a reminder that tomorrow is the Lunar New Year, and the start of Imbolc.

Baker, Pearson, & Wu is under attack. Most of the protection wards have failed, the teleporting ward is still in place. Some of us are holding shield around a conference room and are basically stuck here a number of inured and the monsters trying to get in. No idea what's happening on other floors. I think I see flames coming the parking lot out the window?

tldr: send help.

For the next Outlander coven meeting, I'm considering Project, or Astral Projection as others might call it. There's various levels of Astral Project in my world, from remaining invisible while projecting, to crating a tangible astral form, to projecting to a different dimensions. The most advanced practitioners harness that magic for teleportation.

Open to other other topics though, as always.

Controversial opinion maybe but those Furby toy things ain't so bad once you mess with their wiring and reprogram them some. I got one taught to quiz me on flash cards and speak my language from home.

18. Officially old enough to vote in my world. I'm a little disappointed I won't get to do that, but overall I'm definitely in a better situation here. Legally an adult, though lets face, calling an 18 year an adult is questionable in most situations.

For my 17 birthday I was in Dark Vallo, for my 16 there was some sort of Hell drama unfolding that all kind of blurs together at this point, and around 15 my eye sight was heavily deteriorating again. The biggest drama I've had this morning is trying to figure out if I want a sweet or savory crêpe for breakfast (I went savory) and trying to keep Phoebe from using my scarf as a toy.

Call me dull, but I'm glad that the holiday season is on the way out. Do you know how quiet the Department is the week before the New Year? I felt nearly extinct. I whistled walking down the hall. No one was there to note the event. Wonderful.

I'm not given to the sentiment of a fresh start - though not opposed to it - but as I stare down the beginning of my year and a half here in Vallo, it's less about the new and more about the realization that this is, for lack of more articulate notions, my home now. I've been in low-key panic mode due to the situation in Quur, and the longer I'm here, the more distant it feels. Oh, I'm sure another pack of memories will be content to hit me like a Frye sometime in the future, but until then... here I am.

For anyone other Vallo long-timer - or indeed those who have lived in multiple dimensions at the whim of a fickle force - when do you feel as if you're home?

I suppose it wouldn't be an imposition if I were to host a Thieves game next week, I meant to have one well before the holidays but time got well away from me.

I was wondering if we might have a chat sometime this week - potentially after the Outlander coven meeting. I have an offer of potential employment, if you're interested. It would serve as an excellent educational, networking, and distraction possibility.

» The horse skeleton trying to get into houses is not my fault. It's a Mari Lwyd. Blame the Welsh.

» Prue, sweetheart, we're out of food and anything resembling alcohol. Please send me any requests you have as I am taking the blame on that one and going to the grocery store.

[ FILTERED TO ROSALIND WALKER ]
Are you sure you want to be back in the office already? I have no problem tossing the work at another intern.

[ FILTERED TO THURVISHAR D'LORUS ]
How do you feel about the upcoming winter celebrations? Are we a 'best avoid them' or 'I will be wearing twinkle lights around my neck for the rest of the year' kind of man?

( Saving your flist! )

Opening some deliveries that I forgot about because I had shoved them under my bed when the future child thing happened and...poll time:

Corsets - an appropriate gift from law clients or no? It's very nice, but an unusual pick. A nice cab sauv would have been fine too.

Lawbaby interns - you get next week off for various holidays happening. Come back the following Monday ready to work because we're going to be dealing with the laws and boundaries concerning the metaphysical planes of existence and what happens when you kill someone on another plane. (Hint: lots of paperwork for us aka you.)

I'm on vacation for ten days starting today to make up for last month. Don't break any magical laws in the meanwhile, thank you.

[ FILTERED TO THURVISHAR D'LORUS & HENRY MILLS ]
I'll be renting a cabin in the woods for some of this vacation. Would either of you like to join me? It's going to involve a lot of reading by the fireplace, gathering magical ingredients, and hiking.

Who: Regina Mills & Thurvishar D'Lorus
What: THEY FINALLY ADMIT TO DATING, Y'ALL.
When: Early November
Where: Regina's Apartment
Rating: PG

( If you really want to dig into it, I'm going to need to be a bit more drunk. )

With Hannah and Neville gone, the Leaky Cauldron is missing a proprietor. One of you magic folk should probably come claim it before it turns me into a frog or a womp rat or something.

Just let me know a day or so in advance when I need to be out so I can get my stuff together before class.

It's come to my attention (thanks Tony) that there is a hammer sitting on a sidewalk downtown that no one seems to be able to move, but a whole lot of people are trying. Please let me know if someone succeeds. I have a castle that is impossible to keep clean to go with your new monarch title that is basically useless here.
