Where's Orym of the Air Ashari? He's from Emon (where's that?) and he's dwarf-height or shorter, and he kicked enough ass to be worth 10,0000 gold, apparently.

Not asking because I'm turning him in; do I care about mortal currency? I do NOT. I'm just impressed. That's a lot of theft. There are wanted posters up in the forest for him, which was new. Thought you guys should know that that's a thing now in case someone's looking for him.

Unrelated to all the crime: summer. I'm going to really hone my shirtless basking skills this year. If you need something blessed, wear shades, because the glistening is gonna be real.

Today at the center we were doing some drawings and one of the kids decided to make drawings of their friends at the center to take home. He drew the staff too and had about a dozen stink lines surrounding me so of course I asked if I smell because well, I don't think I do but you never know and better to lock that shit down. He answered, and I quote, "no, but I thought it'd be funny if I made my parents think you do."

Kids, man. Savage.

How's everyone else's Tuesday going?

ok fine I'll post on your dumb little baby network. hey losers how's the reality hopping going? anybody NOT sitting at a desk asking me what my SPECIES is figure out which big bad jerk is behind all this? I got things to do and a team to watch out for otherwise they'll get dead and then I gotta find a whole new team and who has the time for THAT?


speaking of

anybody seen a doofy looking tree wandering around?

Hahahaha fuck

Just an FYI that thanks to some jewelry we didn't know was juiced up by some weird magic, Adora's in my body and I'm in hers and we're trying to figure out how to fix.

Hopefully before Finn's born because uh




Yeahhhhh.

Steve the Rat reminded me this morning that it's been a year since he officially decided to move in. I don't know

Fuck, what was I saying? Oh, right.

I don't know if that's really something to celebrate since he showed up when I had a summon one rat power and almost immediately stopped doing what I told him to do and then decided all on his own, Steve to move in, but I guess I'm picking up a pizza tonight.

I fear Freya has fallen ill, due to Vallo's latest shenanigans. We were in my mother's gardens at the Asgardian palace when some climbing roses attacked from nowhere. Freya moved to get Torunn out of danger and was pricked by roses herself.

We dispatched the rest of the roses, but Freya will not wake. We moved her to a bedchamber nearby, but I ask that her family come to visit her and see what they may be able to do or perhaps I can bring her to her home? Whatever is easiest. But someone come kiss her please.

So in between the time traveling and turning into a child again, I was working on Dino Island, and making things a little more secure there for visitors. I had some help this weekend (thank you guys!!) Long-term goals are to work on the hotel and use magic to ward it off and get it back up to how it was so people can do the occasional overnight visit, but we're not there yet.

But I'd like to do a less fancy trial run, 3-night thing, in June? If Vallo cooperates! Starting on the 2nd and coming back on the morning of the 5th, we'll stay on the island and make a full camping and dinosaur education experience out of it! There's two secure sleeping options and we're going to try both, one's a tall outpost that's kind of like a fancy treehouse, and one's a secure bunker deep in the woods. The bunker has bunk beds and can sleep 20, there's a generator, running water, and two bathrooms there!

The treehouse outpost sleeps... ehhh probably about the same if people don't mind sleeping bags squeezed in. Probably about 12-16 if we want a little walking room. We'll be bringing water and food, and there's a warded outhouse. It has the best views, and the high chance of waking up to the herd of sauropods coming through and grazing!

You don't have to pay anything for this, just sign up early so we know how much food to bring! I let Miss Paliviana from the Crossed Quills know what we're doing and her nephew wants to come and she offered to load up a big cooler of food for us.

Disclaimers: The sleeping areas are secure but there are a lot of large dinosaurs that live there in as much freedom as I can offer them and we're going to be in their homes, so I can't say it's danger-free, but I can promise to keep everyone safe as long as they follow the rules and protocols in place. There's no age range in place but I can only handle one toddler at a time so uhhh anyone under 12?? needs an adult with them. Anyone who doesn't follow the rules will be brought back to the mainland and not be given the opportunity to return.

What to bring: You have to be able to carry it yourself and I suggest keeping it to one bag a person. Sleeping bag, pillow, clothes for a few days, that sort of thing. I know they sell magical options that are light and small, if you want to go that route!

So yeah! Questions and signups here, thanks!

Milton was wrong; reigning in hell is beastly. Demons think they’re so clever. Reminds me of secondary school.

Is Sabrina back to normal yet? Hell’s a mess and I’m tired of making the demons feed me grapes and tell me it isn’t my fault.

I want to go explore the woods.

I heard it moves. Do the trees pick up the roots and go PLOP somewhere different? Does anyone wanna play hide and seek? The cat says its good for hiding, but red eyes said to not go. But she went somewhere so I want to explore.

Is there a big beach?

The dogs say I got a boat but I dunno where it is. Does anyone know where my boat is? How do you ride a bo Can dogs ride a

Guess what! Since we have so many more kids than usual, Art of Expression is launching a special session of ART CAMP!!!

Instead of our usual signups, this time we're just doing show-ups! Starting this morning, kids from 5 to 12 will be with me in The Big Classroom at Cloud Recesses, and we'll have a super great time playing with all kinds of media, including paints and pastels and clay! There's room for all ability and experience levels, so if you want to make art, just come on up the mountain!

If you're bringing a kid, make sure they wear something they can get messy, and pack a lunch. If they need any special accommodations, just let me know and I will make it happen.

And if there are any kids who see this and want to come but don't have an adult yet, just pipe up! We'll find someone to show you the way here and make sure you've got a good lunch.

Annnnnnnnnd any of our suddenly-teenagers need stuff to do (or our regular teenagers, for that matter), I wouldn't mind an extra hand child-wrangling, so like...hmu if you need extra activities. I already had like a half dozen regular Vallo moms and dads responding that they'd be coming when I sent the message out to our standard mailing list.

i require MEAD. however much a pouch full of gold coin or a favor from a son of odin will get me. i have none of your fancy paper bills or cards of credit so do not ask for any.

( Hi. I don't really know how to start to ask this, so I'm just going to talk and you guys can ask questions if you want. Shiro might add more later, but... )

I am not from a world with things like high school and pep rallies (this is something I just learned about, in fact, and am certain I would have absolutely hated every second of it as a teen), so I didn't know what prom was until it was explained to me and hey, guess what. We're having a prom for so-called grown ups.

So: as long as we aren't displaced in time or space or fighting monsters, anyone 18+ is invited to adult prom on June 10, the theme being Under the Sea, which I was told is one of a handful of popular themes for these kinds of events. All proceeds from ticket costs will be going to the youth center, as well as any added donations and such at the event itself. The usual suspects will be there: good food, open bar, music, and other surprises.

There will be a contest for best Proprom ProposalPr Promsal Promposal to go along with this. This is another thing I had never heard of, but here we are, learning things together. If you make a bit of a fun fuss asking your date to prom with you, record it, send it to vvessar@vcyc.org, and there will be votes during the event on the best promposal. The couple/pair/duo that wins will get bragging rights and a weekend package for two at Galdin Quay.

All right, questions? I'll try to answer them or make something up. Otherwise, hope you'll be there.

With school almost out, I'm curious what this place has in the way of summer camps this year. It's up to the kids, but if I have to be in this house with a bunch of wound up teenagers in need of entertainment the next few months, I might drink too much need more hobbies of my own.

Maybe I'll get a motorcycle.

SOS WE'RE ABOUT TO GET LION CUBS.

I went to check on Clawdeen at Castle Grayskull, couldn't find her, and after lots of waddling dignified walking and some mind-link scolding I tracked her down outside of the castle and hiding in a cluster of trees. Atreus - can you come out here and, uh, make sure everything's going okay??? I'd bring her over but she's not wanting to move.

Someone tell Cringer to bring her a snack.

Most of our duckies (or the honk honks as Yrsa calls them) have long since moved on but a couple decided they liked being bowl fed three times a day and why give up a good thing. Their love of peas though has led to some tense dinners with Yrsa determined that ALL peas now need to be saved for the honk honks, despite me pointing out we have no shortage of peas.
