ADORA

First and foremost, I wanted to check in with you and see how you’re doing. You’ve taken a lot of hits recently and it fucking sucks. Is there anything I can do? Trinket is willing to come give you bear snuggles if you want them.

TWINSILMORE

How are we doing?

PEPPER

Slayer’s Cake is back on track. I know it took longer than I anticipated thanks to Vallo and its shitty gifts, but I wanted you to know I’m finally moving forward with opening it to the public. I think it’s going to be equal parts bakery and baking classes now, though, so you can stop in any time for your baked goods fix!

Good afternoon, my new friends! I have only been in your world a very short time (such a shock this morning--do you know how truly unfair it is to be lounging oh so comfortably on the coast in sunny Feolinn with a glass of their very best diamond plum wine only to be deposited unceremoniously in a forest of all places? I cannot), but I have made the most wonderous discovery and it is gelato. I am currently eating it with the tiniest of spoons and it is as delicious as it is wonderous and I suggest you all try it immediately.

That out of the way, hello, good day, it is lovely to meet you all.

Now, I can't help but notice that I am rather stuck here. I have been informed that not even the most fair and advantageous (for both parties, obviously) deal made with a hapless group of adventurers can create for me a little doorway to hop back to the Menagerie Coast and my glass of wine, so I have decided to view this as a grand opportunity for growth and excitement and I am beginning to bore myself, so I'm going to just let this paragraph come to an end now.

Ah, and of course: I have been told there is a blue tiefling about. I would so very much like to be reunited with her, should someone be able to point me in her direction.

All right, who took my boots?

Vex'ahlia?

Diego?

First Dariax, now Fearne. Dor

I was about to message Fearne to ask her if she was the reason my shoes were in the freezer this morning.

BELLS HELLS

Are you all okay?

Everyone, this is Swift Wind.



Swift Wind is my alicorn from back in Etheria. He showed up yesterday and ganged up on Thor with Thori from what I understand?? Sorry, Thor.

Swifty mostly does his own thing, and he likes to think he's the liberator of animals. We haven't seen any animals that are as interested in liberation as he is, but just a warning in case you have some wild ones like Thori. He has a hero complex probably worse than mine and he talks. A lot.

Feel free to call me or Catra if he starts causing you any trouble, and we'll come get him.

P.S. Team C! Don't forget dinner at Ignis/Gladio/Prompto/Noct's tomorrow night!

hello vallo it is me vax'ildan vessar and i lost my sorcerer so if anyone has seen a very handsome tall man with impeccable facial hair could you please tell him that his undead roguish paladinish druidish boyfriend is looking for him.

also i have maybe been drinking a little lot again.

also while i have you here you're all really great and i love you all and am glad we were able to meet those of you i don't know back home even if this place is fucking weird as hell sometimes. but i'm glad to have met you anyway.

that's it

anyway happy pride 🌈

Hey everyone!

I've realized recently that I've been team coordinator for about a year and that, outside of training, we haven't done much team bonding. I'd like to change that because you guys are awesome and deserve it, and I appreciate that I barely ever have to fill out crazy incident reports.

So, I was thinking team dinner? I'm looking at next week when we're off shift, either the 10th or 11th. Catra gets a good rate at The Canteen (the little cat chefs think she's some kind of Cat God or Queen or something), so if that's okay with everyone, I can call for a reservation.

Let me know any thoughts, conflicts, etc., and we can work something out. Thanks, guys!

I have had this raven following me around for almost two weeks now and she is still nameless. This is not for lack of trying? Nothing seems to click and I'm starting to think it is a good thing we already know what our daughter's name will be thanks to Vallo, if I'm struggling this hard. So, in what may or may not be a great idea, I'm coming to you all for suggestions.

These are the ideas I have had and decided against so far:

Nova
Penelope
Dandelion
Peanut Butter (PB)
Sundae
Peaches

(Vix/Vux/Vyx is tentatively still on the table for now. I was not given adequate feedback when I asked someone at a very reasonable time of the night.)

Ideas? Even if I don't pick your idea, you will have my appreciation which might mean something, I don't know.

[...] little sounds when I touch the screen, that's really cool. Hah oh man, look now it's writing down what I say. Bubble Ziggurat Public Dorian Vermissitude Fireball Volcano. Fashion Poodle Glorious Ocean Lollipop. Wow, it got all that!

What? Oh, thank you! Yeah, I've been told that before. Really I think it's just a misunderstanding. Sure, I might be a pretty dwarf, but beauty's in the eyes of all the Beholders, you know? That's a saying. It means something about persp- Oh?

Uhm, I don't know what a movie is, but you mean you'll pay me to just take my shirt off? It's like the video they showed me inside? That was pretty amazing. Cool, cool. There'll be other people there too? Okay. Give me the address. Hah! Yeah, I want to be rich off easy work, man you get me. Thanks! I'll see you tomorrow!

Oops, forgot to turn this off. ... forgot HOW to turn this off. Ah hah, there's a SEND button, bet if I tap that, it'll [...]

VAX & CASSANDRA, backdated to April 16

I think I had a dream like your Raven Queen dream, Vax. Only I didn't see her, I saw Percival. He was older. We had a fam Older than I last remember, I mean. And I know it was a dream, but it felt as real as anything else I've remembered while I've slept, except that I was cognizant of it being a dream happening to me.

Anyway, I saw him, and I thought you might both want to know.

SHAUN

You and me and a cup of tea?

I'm pretty familiar with ravens, but less so with a singular one just following me around? And staring a lot? ...through windows? So I think that I'm ready to no longer be in denial and admit that this one is trailing but before I do.

( Cut for image! )

Anyone recognize her?

EXANDRIANS

Is everyone okay? Still here? Newest arrivals, too?

It feels prudent to ask whenever there is a large number on that notification.

CALEB

I know how we both feel about parties, but I would like to ask you on a date to one regardless. Will you forgive me?

VEX & GILMORE

I had a dream last night about the Raven Queen. I guess it was a dream--I don't know, it felt incredibly real, but it wasn't the same as when we've remembered things, Vex. I was living it, but I remembered Vallo and everything that has happened while we've been here.

Anyway. We don't have to worry about her whisking me away from here any longer. She made it pretty clear that's off the table.

To anyone potentially accosted by an overengineered, mouthy, rogue bottle opener: I'm very sorry, I'll come get it immediately, and I'll replace anything it destroyed.

Why are you like this, Anthony?


Edit: It looks like a bat. You may want to duck.

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.))

Someone I work with mentioned that today is some sort of celebration of pie and who am I to not participate this morning: ( cut for picture of breakfast pie~ )

Yes, I will be having pie for lunch and dinner and no, I'm not interested in criticism.

VEX

Since it's starting to warm up, what would you say to planning another camping trip with Velora?

Welcome back to all our situationally-forced gamers. Coffee and pastries are on me at the cafe nearest to the DOA, the offer is good all weekend.

[ MARINA ]

Now that everyone is on the same plane of existence again, as the formerly confirmed brains of the operation, can I stop by and see how the system tweaks are working?

[ VEX'AHLIA ]

How did you fare in Vallo's latest literal game?
