Important questions for whoever's here:

If I have a note from my doctor, can I just not? With everything? How do doctor notes from other worlds work here? Do I need a new one or wait for him to show up to give me a new one?

Does this place have Mountain Dew?

Also.

Hey Hazel. (Not a question I know.)

Happy May to everyone in Vallo! And happy seventeen years of being alive to meeeeee! I started my day with eating cake for breakfast and I have zero regrets. Doubly happy that some people are back to being themselves too!

Hello, Zuko he. I've done most of the prep work so my first announcement is that next month I plan to re-open my Uncle's tea shop - but since there's already several good tea shops out there and I'm not great at making t, this place is going in a different direction.

It's being rebranded as an ice cream and boba shop. I haven't settled on a name yet. And I need to hire people who know ice cream and boba to help out, if anyone's looking for work. The building work has been largely completed, so the hard part is over. Who knew cooling systems cost so much?

But anyway. Uh. That's it. Thanks.

Hey guys, PSA.

1. If you put a cucumber next to a cat when they aren't looking it's considered absolute betrayal and therapy may be required.

2. I can't believe I have to clarify this but I am in no way related to anyone in this cat-people tavern in the forest. I don't know why I've gained VIP status there. I also don't know why sometimes they also think I work there. I don't. I really don't. I've explained this so many times but no one listens and I keep going there anyway because the food's good, 10/10.

3. 90% of my posts are numbered like this so I figured I'd keep up the tradition.

I'd say Crab Cake is definitely enjoying springtime.

(Toph, it's a video of Crab Cake smelling flowers.)


Approximately 4 seconds after this was taken, Momo tackled him and they've been wrestling ever since. Which is about how things usually go around here. Feel free to share pictures or video of your pets too!


((ooc: please handwave that's a short video clip of Katara's squirtle instead of a gif.))

I like Vallo.

More open magic. No one here is trying to kill me or make me do things I don't want to do. But I miss traveling. Like really traveling to different countries and getting to try new foods, see new things, all that exploring. I can do that in other ways here but its not the same as going to places that I've been dreaming about since I was five?

So what do you guys miss that isn't people? I think we all miss people that aren't here. But things that are less likely to randomly show up here.

I don't really know how to preface this without it sounding like bragging. So I guess that's okay. But I have a dragon of my very own. Or really he's his own but we have a mutual understanding and he seems to really only like me, so I'll take it. I've been calling him Druk, which means Lightning Dragon. He still has some growing to do before he can carry more than just me, but if anyone wants to meet him then feel free to come by the Preserve. He's not overly fond of the more aggressive dragons so I'll need to give him something more proper soon, but it's a decent space for now.

Stone House

Aang, do you remember that golden egg gem we found at the Sun Warrior temple? I think that was him. When I met him, I felt that same... sensation that I had when I picked up what we thought was a glowing gem. He's from home!

Piggybacking on Ignis's observation, if you saw that - I still have my Ancient Vallo journal (such fond memories of a finicky time stone) and have been able to reverse engineer the magic. I enchanted just a regular notebook to test it out and that worked the same way the journals do, with the cross-communicating between us and...wherever people are.

If you weren't in Ancient Vallo and have a separate journal or notebook of your own, come to the Sanctum and I'll enchant it for you. Or if you need me to come to you I can do that too, just let me know.

Also I was promised an engagement party with lasers - get your shit together so that can happen, Vallo, thanks.

[ANCIENT JOURNAL ➣ VALLO DAY TWO | SPHERE LATE DAY THREE]

I know even writing here is a longshot but thought it entirely possible there might be another "Ancient Vallo" in place and we're at the stage of trying everything back home.

So if anyone sees this and you're on whatever excursion Vallo has sent you on, a check-in would be most appreciated.

[VALLO NETWORK POST ➣ DAY TWO]

It appears any of us who have the journals from Ancient Vallo should be able to communicate with our missing members, I was checking mine just today as a last-ditch effort and have managed to talk to a few of them now.

Can anything be done with this to help locate them?

You can have an unlimited supply of one thing for the rest of your life, what do you pick? Jalapeno poppers? Swiss rolls? Money? DRUGS?

Yes I'm judging you for your answers.

If you haven't been by the Sanctuary in a week or so, we had a busy Solstice here. Lance and I stumbled across two Simurgh pups without their mom, and so now they're settling in and learning how to fly and I took in a very pregnant Reindeer (unexpected, since usually they foal in spring) who had triplets. So it's been the New Year of baby animals.

( OOC Cut for pics! )

The Simurgh's need names, though. They're colorful with wings and right now small dog-sized bodies, but they're going to get much bigger, I think. So if you have suggestions, throw them at me. I'm having a contest to name them, at the end of the week the most votes will get some one-on-two time with them to play and hang out. And you get the honor of your name being used for them, too.

So I was rearranging the comics at the store (duh) and made a display of my favorite graphic novels. Superheroes were how I got in to comics--a part of that was because I was and am a scrawny, pale, gay nerd looking for an escape, but the other part was definitely because it's hard not to get into them when you're walking to get coffee and Spider-Man is literally swinging around New York.

(And then your favorite superhero turns out to be your mom, hi Wanda)

But there are some great ones that aren't superhero based, some that literally made me experience all the feels, some that are just clever storytelling.

( Billy Kaplan Presents: Please Someone Read These and Love These With Me )

Anyway, just a small collection of the great stuff out there, but hit me up for more recommendations because I could seriously talk about this stuff for forever. Also, we have a pretty great D&D group, newbies welcome.

The last time Vallo decided to drop some free money in my lap, I'd been completely compelled to spend it on hats for a giant eel pet. I think we were all convinced we had to buy it for something not.. exactly conventional.

So now that I don't have that same impulse anymore, I could use some suggestions. When Vallo gave you some money, where did you spend it?

Now that I've gotten in a whole day of flustering my wife girlfriend Catra and making her all blushy, hi Vallo, from about two decades in the future.

Richie - I want to give Catra a momming break. She's been doing so much and she deserves a nap or something. Want to do something with the kids this afternoon?

Leon - I know the younger me made plans for sushi (ugh) for Catra's birthday tomorrow night. We're still up for it if you are, but we'll obviously have Finn.

Her "no parties" policy doesn't change in the future either, by the way. But you can all feel free to burst out of cakes on my birthday in January, thanks.

Well I wasn’t expecting myself to show up here without my full Kyoshi warrior outfit and now that I look at it, it is smaller than I remember. Did I gain weight or was I always really skinny for my age?

What’s also small: the rest of you! Including Unagi, he’s still a baby!

Sup, mofos.

Where's my kid? Where's my enemies-to-lovers salt lamp of a metalbender? Where's my nerdy little brother who is very likely using a blanket as a cape while pretending he's Gandalf? Mom? Anyone?






(Fuck yeah, I giffed myself, deal with it.)

I made a Halloween hat for Unagi. I think this is going to become his favorite thing.

[Attachment: photo of a witch's hat (photo cw: snake) on top of the head of a six-foot tall eel]

Besides that, I'm currently trying to put out feelers for potentially teaching/training others on Tessenjutsu. I know a few people who had previously said they wanted to learn but I lost track of it because that was... way back in the year? Before we ever landed in the past (remember that?)

Would love to know 1. who would be interested and 2. any spot or gym someone would be willing to rent out to me as a teaching ground.

Good-bye, Cleo.
