Rebels

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!!!!

This had better be another goddamn false disappearance.

It's not false.

She's gone.

Fuck me.

Goddamit. I know that Revy going back home is good. It'll be good for her and she'll be happy. hopefully And that should be enough. I should be happy for her. But I'm not. I miss my best friend.

Shit.

House of Danvers-Vance-Khan officially has a new addition thanks to Vallo deciding we all needed alien kitties in this world.

I even got the chance to name her which I'm sure Carol regretted the second she asked but OH WELL!

Everyone, say hello to Galadriel. :3

ATTENTION ALL THOSE WHO HAVE COME ACROSS KITTENS WITH MOUTH TENTACLES!

Some of you might remember when I introduced my cat (Goose) about two years ago. Goose is an alien in the shape of a cat known as Flerken. All of the info on Thor's post is true of her species back home. Here in Vallo, Goose's more toxic elements - both the claws and more extreme uses of tentacles - have been dulled, presumably by whatever kind of magic Vallo likes to use to keep us here. I'm pretty confident the same will hold true for any of the kittens' toxic elements, too, and they should be ultimately harmless.

After rounding up the 39 begging for attention from Thor, I've picked out enough familiar patterns to say these ARE Goose's kittens. I don't know how many are here, but at last count, I'm seeing mention of 48 - that includes 39 from Thor, 4 from Atreus, 1 from Orym, 1 from Wanda, 1 from Darlington, and 2 from Ty. There could be up to 69 more running around Vallo.

If you've found one (or one has found you) and you feel comfortable holding onto them for the time being, great, but please drop a line here to let me know where you have them, just in case. If you don't feel comfortable, that's fine, too. Again, drop a line here, and I'll come by to pick them up. We have a safe space to keep them until we figure out what's going on.

Please don't attempt to kill them.

Ever since New Year's Eve people have had ideas about what new "fun" toppings they can request on pizza like they did at the charity event. Too much warm fruit. And finally today someone said they wanted strawberries, peaches, and pickled radishes with scrambled eggs and I just

I no longer work at Nino's. I quit. It was that or jail. Find a new place to knife fight out back.

FRIENDS OF GANSEY (BUT GANSEY CAN ALSO SEE.)

A certain someone's birthday is next Wednesday. Now that I have oodles of free time, you're cordially invited to clear the evening. We're doing whatever Gansey wants.

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.

Finn got to hang out with Molly, our tortoise, this morning. The giggles when we helped them hand her some lettuce to snack on was easily one of the cutest sounds I've ever heard in my life. She's pretty cute for a reptile, too. Look at her.



Oh, and - Happy (late) New Year to everyone!

My life would have been way fucking different in Exandria if I'd just been given money all the gods damned time for no reason. This place is a pain in the ass, but fuck. That's nice as hell.

I'm parking myself at Taste of Tal'Dorei to eat and drink Winter's Crest themed shit while watching """theater""" and people should join me if you're bored. My fucking treat.

BELLS HELLS

Also I'm going to get you all not shitty gifts now that I am rolling in it. Get ready.

This place is weird.

But so is the fact that so many of you decided to audition for a cheesy holiday movie. Miniseries? And made it. Not that you're bad at acting, but what the fuck? Who writes these things?

Just a reminder to reach out to us at the Youth Center, if you're interested in including anything in the silent auction for our New Years charity event!

FRIENDS & FAMILY (feel free to assume; if you've talked to Vax, you're in)

It's obviously coming up on winter holidays and I'll admit that I'm having some mixed feelings about them because it's going to be my first time experiencing them without my sister, so I was hoping to put something together to distract, but still enjoy them. This is both for myself, but also for Velora, since I know it's probably hard for her, too.

Winter's Crest falls on the last month of the year on the 20th, so I thought to just continue that trend and get together that evening for a bit. Maybe at Greyskull to actually use it? It feels right to be in an Exandrian place on an Exandrian holiday. Just bring a dish to pass for that kind of dinner, joke/funny gifts for a random exchange? That sort of thing.

Anyway, if you're free, consider yourself invited: December 20th, Greyskull Keep, food and friends and goofy gifts. (I couldn't think of a proper word that started with F to keep that alliteration going, forgive me.)

Well... we got a day out of it at least I guess.

Some of the kids at the Youth Centre have been hard at work making holiday crafts and cards to sell. I've got a page going here [ link ] where you can check it out and purchase anything that might catch your eye. They're fundraising for a trip to Blizzard World in the spring so all purchases will go towards that.

That moment when you thought you found the perfect wreath for your door only to have it.. grow teeth and try to bite you.

Never change, Vallo.

TYLER.
Hey, I wanted to talk to you about something.

Oi!

Can anyone give me an explanation of what the fuck is going on that doesn't involve being kidnapped into a magical fairy land?
