KIR
Caleb's birthday is on Sunday. He normally does not like a lot of attention, but I thought that with it being your first of his birthdays here, we could do something with the four of us. Would you like to help me plan? I have already gotten Kiri's input and it mostly involved glitter crafts.

Guys, I think something's wrong with me. I got stung by a plant with pretty flowers that smell good and now I can't remember the right names for things. Or for people. I don't even know if this filter is going to work. Do I need to go to the magic doctor?

Okay okay so why are so many of you people married?

There's not like a dominant religion here saying "do it or perish eternally in a lack of atmo", and it's not a law (I think?? I haven't studied many laws here but so far it's like the legal system here is ~just good vibes~), and it seems like most people choose to raise their own offspring which okay, cool, choice, don't get me wrong I'm not keen on implementing a Nursey-type system, but also ick?? but also fine. Look at me, I'm being so! freaking! open! minded!



But the marriage stuff, I can't figure it out. Are there like tax benefits?? What the hell. Why saddle yourself legally with a long-term relationship? Explain it to me like I'm five. I promise this is not me trying to shit on your customs and if I do feel free to shit on mine; it'll be cultural collaboration.





Also hi I need a job; my larder is bare, etc etc etc.

Who pushed me into the blood pool last night? I am not mad, I swear.

Follow up: Who told the children about the blood pool?

The evidence that is my still being here despite trancing once again leads me to assume that this is not some meditation-related hallucination. It seemed kind of unlikely since I do not know why this would be what my subconscious would create given it is very outside of my imagination, or so I would normally believe, so I suppose that leads me to the conclusion of that I am really here, this is actually happening, I likely was not kidnapped, and the Umavi is not here or else she would have managed to track me down by now and begun to lecture me about.

So now I am simply wondering, what now? I have not had free time before. What do people do when they do not have to attend class or meet with a tutor? I am open to suggestions.

Also, can I read these books in this house? There are a great many, though some are in odd languages.

Oh and hello. My name is Essek of. Sorry, that was poor manners.

I am in need of two things:

1) To be returned swiftly to Syngorn before I get in so much trouble my father sends someone to maybe murder me or, worse, bring me back for a lecture retrieve me as soon as he notices my absence which might be never but maybe this time he'll.

2) For someone to come collect their children so they'll stop following me around giving me Looks.

Wait, no, three things--

3) To find my brother, Vax'ildan. He's going to be so worried

P.S. I'm keeping this bow and the pastries I found because Father would never I can.

I awakened this morning to discover that my husband is thirteen years older and has no recollection of Vallo. Is anyone experiencing similar difficulties?

I was told that I did not pass a "vibe check" today as I gave my advanced students a pop quiz. As they take said quiz, I have decided to take this as the compliment that I have to assume it was not meant to be.

You know, if I had a dollar for every time there was a timeline in which my castle was stolen from me and I was pushed out or killed... I'd have two dollars.

That doesn't seem like a lot but that's so weird that it happened twice as far as I know.

THAT BEING SAID, I should probably get better wards for the castle just because I had some geese get in easily and grab my knives. Anyone wanna come help?

We've been home for a couple of weeks now and it feels like I'm finally settling back into my normal routines which I know my very particular child is happy about. There was a lot to process and unpack about our brief trip to that future, but the one takeaway that's stuck with me is that there's too little time to spend it stuck in the future--or the past. Which feels a bit too introspective for this early on a Friday morning, honestly, but here we are. Serving up a bit of gratitude for the present alongside fresh chocolate croissants this morning.

So here's my Friday morning question to the rest of my fellow Outlanders: Besides the obvious choice of indoor plumbing, what are you glad for here that you don't have where you came from?

Marriage suits me very well, I have found. I do not know how long it will be before I stop saying "my husband" at every available opportunity and actually refer to him by name again. (His name is William Laurence, and he is the very best husband anyone could be granted by fate.)

And though I have said it already, many thanks to all those who joined us to celebrate our wedding. The event was most joyous because of you. Thank you also to Wei Wuxian for introducing me to the music of Shakira at the reception! It has led me to a study of popular dance music of her era, which is truly fascinating! And Prompto is enjoying this office music much more than the sea shanties or the doom metal.

I think the only truly great challenge of planning an engagement party for our friends will be ensuring that Ignis attends the party rather than supervising the kitchen. Everything else should be relatively simple.

I went to the cellar with a few adequate enough bottles from local Vallo vineyards to attempt the beginning of restocking what I had absconded with from myself and cut for image! )

Thank you, Vallo. Several bottles include good years of Solvia Groves Diamond Plum Wine as well as some rice wine from Rosohna that I have not had since dropping here three years ago, and so I am pleased. I am also changing the physical locks and the wards. Perhaps it is time for heightened spellwork, to protect against myself. Caleb, I need all of our oil and any unenchanted rod we have hidden away. And Gilmore, fair warning, I am coming to buy all of your incense and string.

Wow do dragons hit hard. I got what passes for my central nervous system rattled so much that I couldn't stay in one shape. I'm beginning to think that when danger strikes, I should just turn into a coffee cup and stay out of the way. These big fights never go well for me.

Anyone looking for love, companionship, or wild sexytimes, we've just made some great improvements to Tag! set up your profile and post it and start meeting people. It's the one dating app where you're guaranteed to never get a dick pic you don't want to see.

And if you look at apps like that and think "I could do better," MageNet is hiring in all departments. We're attached to Enki coven, and we especially like people with a mix of magic and tech in their resumes. Reach out if you're interested in making cool stuff.

ANCIENT VALLO JOURNALS: 2023 ⇆ 2033


[info]impsychicnow

We've found the location of the simulacrum. Between access to books, connections with the local covens, and feet on the ground we were able to narrow it down and then confirm its location on Surtr's Sword. We've shared our research with the defense teams so they can begin to coordinate retrieval so we're ready for the 6th.

Huge thank you to everyone who has been working tirelessly to track this down.

Some other things to note.
- We found magic dead zones deeper in the forest. Patches of area where magic isn't working anymore.
- There are theories that the Temporal Concurrence is what originally started to bring Outlanders to Vallo (not confirmed, just thought it was interesting).
- During the height of the Temporal Concurrence there's probably going to be some Big Magic being worked here. This may lead to nothing, it may end being a big pain in the ass, but it seems to be the day to try and pull of the more impressive spells if you couldn't do it normally.

How are you holding up in 2033?

EDIT: I forgot to tell everyone in 2033 that yesterday was the return of the Geese from a few years ago. The violent ones that kidnapped people. Everyone is okay, but there was chaos. And probably geese on the menu for the next several days.

Hello.

At approximately 0830 I was taken prisoner by geese.

In accordance with best practices in hostage situations, I attempted to establish a rapport with my captors. I did not get into an ideological or philosophical debate with them (mostly because I can only understand maybe every other word they are saying/honking) but I did provide them with sound, logical, reasonable issues that I think they haven't considered. I am not complaining or being belligerent with them.

I have made MANY observations about them, even though I do not have my notebook. And I know the exact way to get to where we are from where I was, because I was taking notes in my head about the directions.

Also, please do not comply with their demands, because that only rewards VERY bad behavior.

Thank you!

After some deliberation, there will be three groups for tomorrow. There's the extraction team, led by Steve Rogers, that is heading to Demonikea to grab the weapon. The distraction team, led by Ashton and Lan Xichen, will head toward Soups and try to draw as many forces as possible there and away from Demonikea. Thanks to Noct's suggestion, there's a small scouting team called the rendezvousaction team? that will keep track of movements within the city, in case they don't take the bait. We don't want anyone cornered unexpectedly.

Assignments are posted on the notice board. If you have problems, take it up with your leads. I'm just the information messenger.

Ashton is also not allowed to name anything again. With that said, we're due for a new passphrase for the Outpost. You can leave your suggestions in the comment box by the mess hall.
