I've been looking into the theater options here and it's come to my attention that there was a showing some time ago that was based on my family. Does anyone have a recording? The actress who played Wednesday appears to no longer be here.

Also, the network is showcasing why I prefer to find my answers in the library.

[ENID]

Are you feeling more yourself today?

So that is what kind of Monday it is going to be like, eh? Dragon friend, do not worry, they are all very dangerous and remarkable.

[FILTERED TO ESSEK]

Is there ah- something you wanted to tell me?

ENID & WEDNESDAY

I just got home from the library and I noticed that the wards protecting the house were messed with. They weren't fully broken, but it's odd so I'm going to be asking for some help to reinforce them and get one of those cameras for the front door and other places on the lot, just to look out. I don't know that it was anything nefarious, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Anyway. About Fig I know that I'm not Anyw Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to make things feel more secure, all right?

CALEB

I think someone might have tampered with the wards on the house. I came home and they were clearly touched, though I don't know if someone was trying to break in or if that is just me being paranoid. Either way, will you come over when you have a chance and check my new warding work, just for another set of eyes?

Also, I just wanted to Today has been When you have a chance, that's all.

MATTHEW & TALCOTT

I don't How was the wedding? Fun?

First day of school, and we've got a bunch of skeletons just chilling on the school lawn. And I don't mean plastic "somebody got excited about Halloween early" skeletons. I mean actual bone skeletons that were walking around like they own the place. Carrie in my literature class said one of them asked her if she had any "tomes of power and might." (Apparently her math book doesn't count.)

So, thanks for making the first day of junior year good and weird, Vallo. Now I can think about how the hell skeletons are capable of talking instead of listening to anybody drone on about the syllabus.

Added Slightly Later:
Also, say I wanted to dampen sound around my lunch table at school so it's not so loud that we have to shout our whole conversation. Are there magic items that could do that? And if they do exist, how much would it probably cost to get one? (Specifically, could someone with "part time at the gaming store" money afford a Bubble of Quiet or whatever?)

Hey Outlanders. Are we sticking with our lunch table from last year, or are we trying for one of the ones up by the windows?

[Enid, Adaine, Fig]

I will be in the upper floors of the castle until this fun new event has ended.

Coming at you all real hot with some more satisfying jif gefs aw shit things.

( Obviously this is not Chetney but you know, theater of the mind )

Can't show too much on account of I don't want to take away from the hashtag wolfpack in my DMs.

I say be the satisfying thing you want to see in the world.

Said that about thirst traps yesterday. Don't know which one is more poignant.

Anyway, show me some of the shit you're making, c'mon now. Doesn't have to be wood. Wood is preferred, but I got a lot of respect for the entire crafting line. Long as you make it with your hands, long as you had a good time, you were successful. Don't let no one take that shit from you.

A woman is walking alone at night when suddenly a rogue appears. He kills her and steals three things: her mobile phone, her watch, and her purse.

What did the rogue take first?

[Kenzi, Dream, Laszlo, and Enid]

Hello.

We are taking Enid shopping for an outfit to the goth party. She doesn't own anything that is suitable for the event and I'm determined to see how she looks in black. No, I am not entertaining the idea of pastel goth.

I said it last year, but apparently I have to say it again this year, since people keep asking: there are no oysters in the summer. This is oyster spawning season. If you got oysters now, they would be soupy and disgusting, and you would be preventing future generations of oysters. This also goes for mussels. Get some damned shrimp and scallops and wait for the Month of Harvest September.

While I'm making announcements: Do not waste your time reading The Outlander's Lady by Belladonna Seward. It's clearly written by someone who never stopped to talk to any of us, and the "plot" is just a thin excuse for increasingly dramatic sex.

[Filtered to Thor]
I just spent forty more dollars on plants. This is your fault.

I'd prefer not to bring this to the public, but I'm tired of the arguing so you all get to help put it to rest.

Do you side with Enid, in that a hand doesn't count as a pocket, regardless of how it's being used to hold things.

Or do you side with Thing, who simply states that he can be a pocket if he wants to be and that's the end of the argument?

Ugh. Two things to consider - Thing is an animated hand. And this argument has been going on for three days and if it continues, I'm going to bury them both in the cemetery outside of Adaine's castle.

ｏｐｅｎ ｔｈｅ ｃｏｏｌｅｒ

I ended up with 27 prepared campfire cones, 14 hotdogs on a stick, a gallon bag of samoa chex mix, a cooler full of snap peas and cut cucumbers, and a container full of no-energy bites.

I may have over-prepared for St. Mark's Eve tonight. So if you'd like to join us and help eat the snacks, we'll be at [cemetery] in the forest from 11pm-2am. We welcome the company while we watch for the ghosts of those that will pass this year walk-through the cemetery.

Morbid, I know, but tradition for us. I used to fast but learned a few years ago that it wasn't actually necessary, thus-- snacks.

There is a Mare (also known as mara, mahr, mahrt, mårt, trud, drute, night hag - to name a few) loose in Vallo. They are evil spirits that ride on the chest of sleeping people, bestow nightmares, then feed from the fear it elicits - it is not my doing, in this case.

Back home, I am in charge of nightmares and demons on this level, but we maintain a balance that does not include the overuse of power, and we do not harm mortals that dream. She has been steadily gaining power that she's drawn on her victims thus far and it does not look as if she will stop anytime soon. I can help protect those that sleep, but my reach does not extend far past that.

It is not as simple as hunting spirits in the forest. She may need to be lured, or caught in the act. Suggestions are welcome.

Before the marijuana enthusiasts take over the day, I thought I'd share something else April 20th is known for. One of the first careers I considered, and may still pursue, is celebrated today. And has been since 2019.

National Death Doula Day. Appealing alliteration aside, it's an interesting role. You get to witness someone's eventual decline into and after the end of their life. In return, all you have to do is be present and help them be at peace with the situation. Fair trade.

Mi querida, with reinforcements arriving from the past, we're going to see more activity from Interitus and his forces. It's going to be more dangerous, but we also have more force than we've had since the beginning.

But still, don't use this as an excuse to do something stupid or I'll kill you myself.

FILTERED TO TEENS + CHETNEY (MINUS WEDNESDAY):

Hi friends! I have A TOTALLY HYPOTHETICAL situation and I would LOVE to hear your advice. 💗 SO LIKE say you go out with a friend to a musical! And ahead of time you don't specify it's a "date", you're just out with your friend having a good time!

AND THEN at the end, they call it a "date". And you internally have a little spasm and freak out but don't say anything because maybe they just mean "date" like, friend-date, right? 🤔

But then like, you still continue to do regular things together! Occasionally go shopping! Mani/pedis! Hang out all the time! Go out for dinner! And the occasional handholding!👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏼But no kissing. No other moves! VERy mixed signals.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Should I the person on the confused end make a move?? Hypothetically?? Should they just ask? But what if they ask and then the person was like "Relationships and feelings are meaningless." and then they get utterly heartbroken and have no one to talk to after that?? Does this feel like FRIENDS or something MORE?

FILTERED TO WEDNESDAY:

Hi did you know there are like TWO death covens in Vallo? 💀💀 I scored us an invite to the Ankou celebrations this Saturday to kick off the magical thing or whatnot and I wanted to know if you wanted to come with me?

VALLO HIGH SCHOOL FILTER

Does anyone know if I can pay someone to write an apology letter? I am supposed to write one to Tristan as part of my punishment. I do not want to do this because I hate him a lot. I have cash.

It's disappointing that I missed out on seeing hell simply because I do not feel guilty about my life choices.
