vallo

Wait

Fuck

It's this shit fixed or not? WHO'S GOT EYES ON HENDERSON? This shit still isn't funny

what the hell give him BACK! he's my it's not fai he's supposed to approve my spooky music list for all of you freaks.

Oh ye, Vallo, you great betrayer, you fiend, you Judas. I'd grown too complacent, too trusting, but oh, now I see how that trust was mislaid.

I'm pretty sure I lost at least four hours of progress in Knightmare's Call.



Alright, now that I'm done lamenting the fact that I'm going to have to face Zeddicus Grail all over again when I barely beat him on my fifth attempt (I'm not done lamenting. I am still anguished. Still bereaved), I need some help settling an argument:

Are candlelight dinners always romantic, even when the candlelight is necessary because you have no power?

You know what's great?

Just getting to lay in bed, sleeping in all day, not needing to get up. Just lounging around, without an ounce of responsibility on this fine, totally unremarkable Tuesday.

Okay, look. I know there's no way to tell who was going to win that pasta eating contest, but I'm pretty sure that I was at least still in the running before that disgruntled ogre flipped the table, and I was really gunning for that year's worth of free garlic knots.

I demand a do-over.

So I just get to keep this phone? And everyone can just see what I post here all the time?

Who needs a car when you can ride a big bird? Not Big Bird, but yeah, you get it. And I didn't even fall off or crash, so that was even a surprise for me. Second place is like winning without the extra attention, so I'm more than all right with that.

Kinda feels weird having cut in the middle of Lance and Atreus, but I'm kinda used to the third wheel thing.

I'm stuck babysitting eight children because someone who looks like me, but is not me, said they would. Any advice on how not not stab eight children for being annoying? Or, even better - does someone wants to come watch eight annoying children for me so I can go stab this impersonator?

alright I got news for you weirdos. did a favor for a guy with a horse's ass and it turns out he's got this old radio station out in the woods. he says I can play some music if I fix it up. and bring my own chair of course. so outlander radio is coming to you starting tomorrow. no you can't make requests. you can tune in to 90.9 and hear the good stuff or you can listen to your own goddamn music. won't make any difference to me.

ETA: scratch that it's playing now. freaking enjoy.

Anyone want a castle?

No, seriously. There's a castle up in the north area of Vallo that was overrun by those hands and I guess the owner was so damn generous for the save he wants me to have it. But it comes with a condition.

You gotta marry his statue daughter.

And listen, Annabeth may not be here right now, but I love her and straight up not interested. BUT, I figured someone out there might if they really want a castle.

Okay, the last time I drank this much was back in 1984. Or, you know.. two years prior to showing up here. Never thought I'd be doing that again. Not that it was an entirely bad things because that party was absolutely amazing. Whatever I had planned for my high school's prom that year was definitely not going to come halfway toward being that good. And I thought the Snow Ball was the height of creativity and fanciness in the category of school dances.

The only bad thing.. is this massive hangover. Tell me there's an instant magical cure here.

P.S.: don't ask me what the plan for the 1986 prom was, my brain scrapped that when we realized the town was going to shit.

I went ahead and dropped one of my classes because I realized I wanted to focus more on writing, and the rest I can do in the longer months in the fall and spring instead of crammed into the summer. So, no math class, and going from 3 to 2 classes. Sorry to anyone I had planned study groups with involving the math class. At least this way I also get to have a little fun in the summer, and also keep working at the library. Hopper, you can't tell me I need to lighten up. I just did and I have a hangover from it. Also, I have realized I like girls, so this is me coming out. Okay, bye, will talk more about study groups when summer classes start!

You boys are as subtle as several brightly colored flying bricks.

I hope everyone has stopped spewing flower petals or WILL stop spewing them long enough to entertain an idea.

Adult prom. I shamelessly want to attend especially since I kind of had plans and then Hawkins blew up and we ended up here. What are your thoughts?

So it looks like things are getting real flora-y, which, fine, not the worst ever. But is anyone else just heaving up flowers like a living gif?

I'm starting to feel like the goddess of spring's sister that no one ever talks about.

Guess what! Since we have so many more kids than usual, Art of Expression is launching a special session of ART CAMP!!!

Instead of our usual signups, this time we're just doing show-ups! Starting this morning, kids from 5 to 12 will be with me in The Big Classroom at Cloud Recesses, and we'll have a super great time playing with all kinds of media, including paints and pastels and clay! There's room for all ability and experience levels, so if you want to make art, just come on up the mountain!

If you're bringing a kid, make sure they wear something they can get messy, and pack a lunch. If they need any special accommodations, just let me know and I will make it happen.

And if there are any kids who see this and want to come but don't have an adult yet, just pipe up! We'll find someone to show you the way here and make sure you've got a good lunch.

Annnnnnnnnd any of our suddenly-teenagers need stuff to do (or our regular teenagers, for that matter), I wouldn't mind an extra hand child-wrangling, so like...hmu if you need extra activities. I already had like a half dozen regular Vallo moms and dads responding that they'd be coming when I sent the message out to our standard mailing list.

With school almost out, I'm curious what this place has in the way of summer camps this year. It's up to the kids, but if I have to be in this house with a bunch of wound up teenagers in need of entertainment the next few months, I might drink too much need more hobbies of my own.

Maybe I'll get a motorcycle.

Apparently you can get a TICKET on a BIKE here? For not wearing a HELMET? This is insane. Everything else about this place is cool, and now they throw this at me? What the hell?

The officer said it's just a warning this time, but if she catches me riding without a helmet again I'm getting a real citation you have to pay money to get rid of, AND I'd have to get something signed by a parent or guardian.

This is such bullshit. I'm enough of a nerd in school already, I can't add wearing a bike helmet on top of it!

I GOT A JOB!!

AT THE GAMES STORE!!

LIFE DREAM ACHIEVED!!

So yeah, friends, come see me after school at Wicked Games, where they pay me money to be, because I am employable! Goodbye being broke because I have no job, hello being broke because I'm gonna spend my whole paycheck at work!

I am honored to report that in 2033, we have ended the threat of Interitus for all Vallo timelines. Many are injured, but we are now able to focus on healing rather than destruction.

May fortune smile upon you in 2023 at least as much as it has smiled upon us here. We travelers will see you soon.
