Hey, Catra...

[FILTERED TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY OF THE KOGANES (PLUS KEITH)]

So things have been chaotic with the memory issues and now pumpkins attacking students among other things, but I haven't forgotten my husband's birthday, I promise. I just forgot to say anything about it. That's different.

Anyway, anyone who's free to come out to the cabin tomorrow for a barbecue around 6 is welcome. I set up a glow in the dark paintball course outside. It has swords that can land a paint splatter if you'd rather sneak up on the people that prefer guns.

Since he's not a fan of surprises, I'll let him see all of this. Kipp says he wants to help make your cake so uh. Sorry ahead of time. Love you.

Having to explain one's resume in a job interview when you have had only one set of duties your entire adult life and it doesn't really translate easily to this sort of setting? Awkward, yet somehow also easier than one might have expected. I like to think it's my natural charm, more than anything else. (It's hereditary.) (Not magical, though I understand clarifying that unprompted makes it seem as though the opposite might be true. Let's move on from this before I get myself into unwarranted trouble.)

That said, I am now gainfully employed and will be found at the Great Library, where I was spending much of my time at already. It seemed only right.

And rather exciting? As I said, only one job for my adult life and this is going to be quite different than training to run a city, so! I don't start until next week, but come and see me and make me work, please and thank you.

🫣 I've been here for almost five years (which is wild in itself!) and for the first time this conversation happened:

Person A: So you're like, a furry?
Me: Oh, no, I'm a shapeshifter!
Person A: But you shapeshift into animals.
Me: Uh, yeah...?
Person A: The definition of a furry is someone who enjoys and identifies as being an anthropomorphic animal.
Me: But I'm just a wolf! Not anthropomorphic.
Person A: You're still human under it all, counts, dude. Furry. It's cool!


🥺 Help

Something is wrong.

Hi. I didn't know what Barbie was until today. But she's REALLY COOL!! and I would like to meet her now please.

Catra says I can't. I know she's old but she doesn't know EVERYTHING so.

It would seem the Elven Oracle was correct. To avoid confusion until this is resolved, be aware that I am actually Kratos and will not be flirting with you.




[ooc | for the purpose of this plot, Andrea and I have switched journals for Kratos and Atreus to save on having to upload icons etc]

Oh shit I hope I have the right person Hi sorry I realize I left ABRUPTLY this morning but I just wanted to let you know it wasn't you? It was just that I don't like to be gone when my kid wakes up in the morning so she doesn't think I'm missing. I had fun! I wasn't trying to ghost, I swear.

[FILTERED TO HARROW & GIDEON]

I bonded with the ley lines and danced in the moon last night and celebrated Gleichentag and now I'm feeling powerful. I want to try again if you guys are ready?

I feel good about this one.

An entity that I can only describe as a ghost pirate just attempted to abscond me of all of the various earrings and jewelry on my person, which is a great deal regarding the former thanks to, you know, long ears.

That is a sentence that I both wrote and is 100% factual and truthful.

I was once a high-ranking government official at court and the eldest son of the matriarch of respected noble family. I am now being interrupted while grocery shopping in order to prove to ghost pirates that my wedding ring is my own. What is this life, sometimes?

I swear to fucking Jesus if I stub one more goddamn toe or drop so much as a SPOON, I'm going to set something on fire. Soon as these animals are all sorted I'm going back to bed. Wake me up when it's not Friday the 13th anymore. Stupid fucking witchy bullshit.

Are any of the plant people missing a potted uhh- okay so he says he's a Venus Fly Trap but he's bigger than any I've ever met and well, he's talking. That's SO not the mushrooms I ate this morning.

Pretty sure.

OH anyway he vomited some whole turkeys at my feet and then told my kid she's "one cool motherfucker" so I'm just curious if this is a Vallo thing or an Outlander thing. I'm definitely taking him home if it's a Vallo thing.

[ATREUS]

Okay. Explain this soul placing shit you do for me. I need to understand it a bit better.

All right, now forget everything you were already sorting out in your head and start over, because I need you to explain it to me like I'm fucking FIVE. And I mean normal five, not Harrow five.

What

KRATOS & ATREUS.

I thought it would be considered polite to let you know that there is a second occupant to this cabin. Her name's Gideon, she's from my world, and she is dead but functional. Please let whatever creatures of yours that prowl this area know this so they do not assume she's a danger.

I have a Kratos specific question: what freedom would you allow us in regards to decor?

This next one is an Atreus specific question: I would like more intel on the coven that you spoke of and of any other coven or person of interests with any experience in resurrections and soul transference. I have nothing to offer in exchange for this information, but I'd be in your debt.

I still don't I am completely fucking lost This world is so bright

Are there housing options in a more [...] quiet area? I am out of this bloody clinic and these apartments are in the middle of a very populated area. And there is so much sunlight.

hope everyone's real fucking comfy because the bridge is out.

tried alerting folks on the mainland but it was a real garbled shitstorm of a mess on cell and the landline in the gen store so hang tight, i guess.

[TW: talk of death in comments]

Catra and I took Finn outside to feed Molly this morning and noticed a bunch of flowers around the backyard that weren't there before - really bright red and this pretty purple. We didn't really think a lot of it - because the forest does what it does - until we noticed it start to move when we got close.

So, basically, I think we might have found another one of those dragons Orym mentioned yesterday. Not exactly the same, but the same level of nature-y? But super skittish!

Has anyone else spotted more?

I know that there is a lot going on and I'm sorry to everyone out there going through it, but--well.

There's a dragon in our yard? It's unlike any dragon I've heard of or seen, which I'll admit my exposure is limited, and it's very beautiful, but it's also just curled around our cherry blossom tree from Zephrah. And I'm also pretty sure it's sleeping? But that's just what it looks like from inside the house, not sure if it's a good idea to approach.

Anyway, advice would be good? I've learned how to handle bulettes, but this is new.
