» Did you see the disappearance notification?

Friends

Because of the craziness of the last two weeks, my closing date as Fantine has moved to April 29. It's been a blast but I am ready to go back to working during the week and having my weekends as my own.

Sunday, April 30, I'm going to throw a 'it's been a blast' party on the yacht. You're all invited.

Thanks everyone who was able to come and see me sing my heart out and die beautifully.

New Asgard is under attack.

The geese return and they return with a vengeance. If you are uninjured from yesterday's events and are not under siege from these geese yourself, please come assist. The helhounds and fighters in the village are holding them at bay for now, but their numbers seem to be increasing.

Shiro, I am rerouting half of Team B to assist here, but the rest are on their regular patrol shifts and picking up the slack of those in New Asgard or elsewhere.

EDIT 1: THEY ARE ARMED WITH A FLAMETHROWER AND KNIVES AND HAVE INCREASED IN NUMBERS EXPONENTIALLY. AIR SUPPORT AND WATER TYPES, REQUESTED.

EDIT 2: DAUD DO NOT RETURN TO YOUR DWELLING. IT IS NO LONGER A DWELLING, BUT AN ENEMY STRONGHOLD.

EDIT 3: THE STABLES ARE GONE. AS IS THE COMMUNITY GARDEN. TORUNN HOLDS STRONG AT THE BELL TOWER AND DAUD FIGHTS FIERCELY FOR THE VILLAGE SCHOOL.

EDIT 4: PEACE WAS NEVER AN OPTION. TALKS OF A TRUCE HAVE FAILED.

Dear Vallo: anything but larger than life fucking cicadas. I wouldn't mind a giant bunny if you had to but seriously? Cicadas??

Not normally phobic of bugs in general but I think a new fear has unlocked.

And I know this is a little late in the day but, uh.. heads up. Don't go into the forest unless you have strong enough weapons and a stomach of steel.

Can someone explain to me how I went to sleep last night in my bed, and woke up where my room should be, but between two stripper poles and an entire rack of outfits that belong on the Victoria Secret runway. Feathered wings included.

» Do you want to go spy on your shops competition with me?

Friendly reminder to come on down to the Ice Dragon for all your boba and/or ice cream related cravings. It'll be well worth your time, I promise!

» Hey Roz, it's Zuko.
» I was going to go see that play Sabrina's in this Friday.
» Did you, and it's cool if you don't, want to go? With me?
» I know it's just a few days away at this point so if you already have plans, it's fine!

[Friends]

I'll be starting as Fantine next Friday, February 10, and then every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday night after that until the middle of April.

I hope to see some of you there! Bring tissues.

I can't find Roz.

She hasn't slept in her bed. I thought maybe we just missed each other yesterday because of her school schedule but I think it's something else.

And there hasn't been a notification thing so I don't think she went home.

I am looking for two things.

First: with Scorpia being gone I'm searching for someone who can manage the front of the house when it comes to the tea shop. Looking for someone who will not murder the difficult customers with violence but with kindness and help other employees. I can do this to an extent, though my patience with the general public thins with every interaction.

Second: the owner of a glowing sword that seems to have its own mind? Reminds me of Clo I don't sense any threatening energy and it seems oddly cheerful. It followed me home after an early walk around the forest this morning. I'll let it stay at my cottage until someone claims it.

[FILTERED TO THE GAANG]

I was up in the air with Appa when I got the notification and I dropped my phone in the ocean. They gave me a new one at the DOA but I think I lost all my pictures of Sokka?? I don't know I have to figure it out. I NEED those. What if he never comes BACK?


Sorry Katara, I shouldn't say that. You came back! I'm sure
I mean he'll probably

He could come back..Maybe?

Okay yeah we don't have a jolly old man who comes down chimneys and delivers presents, and no, there isn't a bunch of catchy music that starts three weeks before Thanksgiving, and sure, there may be a whopping one cheesy movie about it, but you know what Hanukkah does have? Eight nights of commemorating victory of the Maccabees over the Seleucidian Greek occupiers. It's eight because that's how many days a menorah was able to stay lit with one day of oil--so, yes, the menorah precedes the holiday itself, I went to Jewish camp for like, five summers in a row, my Hebrew is...not fantastic but I'm a nerd so I remember details.

Anyway. Eight nights of Hanukkah, eight nights of gifting (in my family it starts out lame with like, socks, one time my Bubbe gave me and Tommy monogrammed ones--for the other twin) and eight nights of spinning the dreidel. Just don't play against Tommy, he absolutely cheats.

If I magic up some latkes and magic-clean the apartment would maybe you guys come over? It doesn't have to be tonight, just sometime this week.

Tommy has no choice obviously.

Had a lot of kids asking if I was one of Santa's elves, which is wrong on two levels. A. I'm a gnome. 2. I'm my own man. But also, they're kids and they don't mean any harm by it and should believe in magic and all, so I don't care. Made a bunch of these to give out when it happens. Or is that weird? Won't do it if it's weird. But you can see the grain still in 'em, which is good. Gives an appreciation and respect for the wood.

Also we got us a skyship, which is what it sounds like. A ship for the sky. Real nice piece of craftsmanship there. Now let's say I obviously know how to fly it (cause obviously I do) but on the off-chance I may need a refresher, who can help out with that?

I have to say, I'm enjoying seeing all the decorations that have started to come out in the last few days.

Hi. I just wanted to check in and see how you're doing now that everything has settled back down again.

[ SOKKA ]

I want to ask you something, but you CAN'T be annoying about it.

What's something that's happened lately that makes you happy?

GAANG

I went to the store this morning and loaded us up on supplies just in case the storm turns out to be really bad. We may want to make some extra accommodations for all the animals too.

What's something you've always wanted to do, but just haven't yet? And why? If it's not too personal--if it is, you can just send cute animal pics.

Gangsey

I remember.

I'm going to go for a walk, I think.


((here there will be Greywaren spoilers, y'all))

Hello. This is a different kind of larger city than I have been to in a long while. I've been told that if I'm looking for a place to have tea and do some reading, that I should ask this forum.

I'm open to any suggestions. Finding a good sandwich shop would be nice as well.
