How long are the days here anyway? Not that I have a problem with day drinking, but this is kind of weird.

Oh. Right. I'm Valkyrie. Any rules on claiming one of the empty cottages in New Asgard as my own?

Despite the best efforts of fate, Spring mead is out at Asynja. If you like floral flavors, good news. We have Hibiscus, Rose, and Lavender brewed to human strength, and several barrels of Lavender brewed to knock gods off their feet. Enjoy.

If I disappeared, would you take over the meadery, close it, or sell it?

Did anyone else make it through? Is anyone else in the middle of the forest? There's a group of us here, but we're still trying to figure out where exactly we are.

Good afternoon. You're on the list of invites for a small get-together that Kate wants because she doesn't want to make a big deal about it (honestly, I don't blame her, I'm always like that on my birthdays too). I'm pretty sure I'd be missing people because I don't keep track of everyone she knows.

I mean, I could but then she'd tell me I'm being the scary ass spy Yelena again so.

Anyway, this Friday evening, 7PM at our house. There's at least two kids here, so we won't get too rowdy. Before you invite anyone, make sure to ask Kate first if it's okay.

Uh What do you say when you are seeing if another world can see what you're writi

Hello, this is Orym of the Air Asha Beketh Squadron, Communications. I know that there is a lot going on around the ship and everything is confusing and bad, but there might be a bit of good news for you new folks.

With our comms back up, we almost immediately received a signal that was first theorized and then confirmed to be coming from your side of things. It's gotten stronger as we've drifted closer to the proximity of the assumed portal. Long story short, I've been told that they should be able to see this and you lot should be able to communicate with one another now.

So uh if anyone not currently on the V.A.L.L.O. could confirm that, that would be super helpful. I'm sure your people will be relieved to hear from you.

Guys, I just saw Commander La Croix in the corridor. She was muttering about being locked out of the Reactor due too many "invalid" attempts or something. Who the hell is doing all this weird shit?

Power is back on in the barracks.

The outage was a result of deliberate sabotage to the electrical system. The culprit is unknown for now, but the situation has been reported to the captain.

When you have time, go to your pod and do an inspection, and report back if anything went missing or was disturbed in the dark.

Hey there, newcomers--and also not-newcomers, since I've been told everyone should be connected onto our networks now. Obviously let us know if that's not the case--well, I guess you wouldn't be seeing this if it wasn't, so. Let us know if it is and that's one thing done.

Anyway, I'm Orym and it really is nice to see some new faces, even if it's from strange circumstances. (I say that as though arriving via tree onto a space station is normal, but after a few years it really is.)

If there's anything you need or have questions about, let us know.

Global message, not at all directed at Hawkeye:

Today I have been asked for a space-hook, winter air for the landing vehicle tires, headlight fluid, and keys to the drop zone. I need you to limit your tormenting of junior enlisted to one prank per day. Some of us have work to do around here.

Hey, does this guy belong to anyone? He might just be a stray or whatever the bird equivalent is of that, but I thought I'd check while he's chilling in my backyard. It's been a weekend of getting pets back, so I figure you never know?

SO, Daud's translated-into-our-months birthday is tomorrow, and I was thinking we should do dinner over at the house. I'm planning on sweet-talking Yelena into helping me make pirozhki.

[PRIVATE MESSAGE TO DAUD]

Dinner tomorrow night? You're welcome to help cook if you want, but we're doing something for your birthday. You deserve it.

The winter seasonal mead is running low. If you want any Cranberry Orange or Brochet, get to Asynja in the next few days.

Thor has something called "speed dating" written into the meadery's calendar on the 14th. The search thing just says it's very fast matchmaking. I need more context.

Hello to all of my most special children!!! I want to remind all of you that you are precious creations who must nurture your bodies AND your minds AND your souls so please attend Tommy's yoga and meditation class today. You will feel refreshed and instantly calmer, and I can say I have never been more limber or felt at greater peace!

I know we are facing adversity and hardship. The days are long and stretch on. My angels, I hope you know that you can always come to me and I will listen, I feel your pain as my own. But if you cannot (or if I am out hunting animals to eat, that in and of itself PAINS me to do and yet I must in order to survive and be amongst my loves!!!!!) please, find someone to speak to. We are all in this together!!!!

Now, please, share your announcements, news, something you are struggling with, or something that you want to celebrate about your other community members. Me, although I do not like to single any of you out, Daud is as always on top of his information game and only needed reminding three times to stay hydrated yesterday!!!

REMEMBER TO STAY HYDRATED, CHILDREN!!!!

It seems I've inherited a meadery. I can't let the place fall I don't know why in the void he thought I could

If anyone's looking for work, especially of the evening/late night variety, come see me. I need a couple of bartenders. The pay is good enough that you won't rely on tips and the patrons are usually well-behaved. The work is easy: just pull the right lever and stop when the glass is full. Sufficiently well-trained monkeys are also welcome to apply.

They're all gone. Both of them and animals too. So, whoever is working on the portals and shit, can you see if there's a way to send me back with them too??

It it strange to think that three months has passed since I first found myself among those now calling Vallo home, and it still feels as though there is no shortage of interesting things to uncover. The sheer volume of books alone, the information stored in this device, it seems endless at times.

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to everyone for making this transition into a new world a smooth, and rather pleasant one. My life back home was one that required a certain level of seclusion and covertness for many years, it has been a nice change of pace to speak freely, and if I dare say, embark on friendships.

I would also ask a favour if I could. I am not - entirely alone here in Vallo. Five years ago I took into myself a part of Ultima, a god with rather nefarious designs for my world back home. I have kept him trapped for some time now, and am more than willing to continue to do so. However it is very clear to me that what is possible here may be boundless, and that a more viable solution might be had. With that, I would like to ask if anyone here has had to contain a god before, or part of one, and how it was done. I am, of course, not asking for anything to be done at this moment, or for anyone to take on this task themselves. I had just thought perhaps it time to begin gathering information, to see if there are other options at hand.

Does Vallo have a dedicated cave rescue crew?

Ásynja Meadery will go on. Torunn worked too hard on it for us to shutter its doors. The Palace is gone, however. We did transplant a lot of the fruit bearing trees to the winery with help from Freya months ago, so some of the garden lives on.

We do need more help though. Bartenders, one more bar manager, an event planner, and brewers. Someone that likes numbers would be great as well. I'm told keeping profits in gold bars is a bad idea and I have something called taxes?

Thank you to those that reached out. I'm sorry I wasn't very responsive, it was just a lot at once.
