Anyone else check out that new potion guy?

A coworker wouldn't stop going on about it yesterday while I was trying to eat lunch and I'm half convinced they were being paid for advertising and the crowd was hard to miss when I was walking to get into work this morning.

I will be finishing my degree next month. There is a requirement that I complete a technology project and share it with others for feedback. This is a one-time thing, do not get used to it. Please submit your feedback by end of day tomorrow, as I will be submitting it on Monday.

This is ReaperCAM. I have set up several monitoring locations to keep an eye on this troublemaker. No, I do not know the name of the other one but I enjoy that it harasses Reaper in such a manner that he harasses me.

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?

Time to take the gremlin to get a flower crown in her hair and to touch grass or whatnot. Anyone else headed for the festival? Someone tell me there are giant mugs of witch ale or something. What about those massive pretzels that you need to eat with two hands? Apparently I'm in the mood for oversized refreshments today, don't judge me.

On a related note, should we be keeping an eye on the local covens whilst we're waiting for this legal business to get sorted? Just wondering if I need to be more armed than usual for this little outing.

So, uh.

Are we still looking for the portal guy? Because it just kinda dropped out of the sky from a portal and flew off. The portal isn't there anymore, but just checking that no one suddenly disappeared or anything, because that would be a problem.

EDIT: Witches and wizards and magical folk of Vallo, do you have magical ways to track glitchy, invisible beasts? And ones that can fly. Me and Kratos ??? want to know.

EDIT 2: Anyone who is familiar that sounds so wrong but that's the words that F with the beast, can you come describe it to Fresh Cut Grass?

I have been unable to complete my normal tasks for several days now. In exchange, I have been able to master a few small magicks that have been helpful in a way. It is not a fair trade, but at least I am not helpless. In times like these, I am grateful for the allies I have made as I do not feel vulnerable to enemies.

However, Atreus has helped me realize that I am feeling things I do not want to feel. Many of you are carrying emotional burdens and are putting on a false face so that others do not see how you are truly feeling. I would suggest finding someone to help you past these burdens or to help release them. I have dealt with too many spirits with lingering regrets that I would not wish the same upon you.

Also, I would like to return to not understanding how you feel.

Someone explain to me the appeal of Paw Patrol to small children.

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.

Forest Girl, you are welcome here always. I believe we are both in a similar state today. I will make the waffles, Mimir has provided instructions.

Atreus, if you are not otherwise occupied, it would be good to have you here as well.

Um hey. I probably should have said this yesterday, but I just kind of woke up and I'm doing this quick before I get my phone confiscated.

Anyone else notice the big creature come out of the portal? It was kind of near the end and I might have been bleeding everywhere distracted, but I swear it looked like the one that created it in the first place.

And I hope everyone's doing okay. Yesterday was a lot.

[ VALLO PRIME, RESCUERS, & REBELS ]
Got what we were looking and more. No surprises, but we'll do a full debrief after dinner for anyone that wants it.

Magic types, you're going to be needed asap though. Meet you at the command room.

REBELS AND RESCUERS

Why is waiting the worst. It's so boring. I hate boring things. Someone tell me something fun.

(( posted early evening ))

FILTERED: REBELS AND TODAY'S ARRIVALS
So, what a day, right?

First off, food is out in the mess hall, please grab a bite to eat if you haven't yet. If you haven't been shown to a room let me know and I'll get you set up. If you need blankets or anything chime in, we'll get your sorted. We ask if you're going to get cleaned up to keep showers short. We have extra toothbrushes and other toiletries if anyone needs anything.

Onto the rest of it.

Yes, we are missing people. Yes, those are some of the people you were expecting to find. The list is as follows:

• Ashton Greymoore
• Dorian Storm
• Keith Kogane
• Luffy
• Nancy Wheeler
• Noctis Lucis Caelum

All have been missing for a few weeks. Yes, we have tried to get them back. For those who haven't had that conversation yet there's a few reasons it hasn't happened. The Council is strong, outguns us with heavy magic users, any violence also spawns echoes. The harder we fight the stronger they get. They take the form of those fighting, including skills and magic as they get stronger.

Because it seems like some of you maybe know other versions, or whatever we want to call this, of those we know as the Council here's the list of known Council members:

• Caleb Widogast
• William Laurence
• Henry Townshend
• Kellach Donnallen
• Ostyia Rabalska
• Theodore Kaplan-Altman
• William Kaplan-Altman
• Abigail Blyg
• Lan Xichen
• Lee Thompkins
• Joshua Rosfield
• Julian Blackthorn
• Ronan Lynch
• Serefin Meleski
• Silas

It can not be stressed enough that whatever you think you may know of these people they are not good news. At all. This is also just a list of those we know about. If you happen to run into someone you recognize outside of us you must make sure they are who you think they are. Assume nothing.

You want to stage a rescue and we get it, trust us, we more than get it. It needs to be planned though. So if that is something you are itching to do we will meet tomorrow, 7 am sharp in the mess hall, to go over strategy and how this might be doable with the extra numbers we now have.

It was also mentioned that a line of communication between this Vallo and the other Vallo is desired. None of us can guarantee that working, but we're willing to try if we can do it safely. Meet at 9 am, mess hall, if you have ideas on how to make that happen.

In the meantime, get some food, try to get some sleep. We'll start fresh in the morning. If you need anything ask.



ooc: if I missed someone on these lists assume I didn't lol, poke me and I'll edit.

We have over 30 missing Outlanders so far and more names are still coming in. The portal they went through is still open, and now protected by a barrier so we don't lose track of anyone else for now, but it does seem to be a working portal, but we cannot guarantee that it is a two-way street, given our friends and family have not stepped back through yet we have to assume the way may be blocked on their side.

We still plan to launch a rescue mission, but the group going through also needs to be aware of the risks and be able and willing to set up communications in the event that a return trip won't be immediate.

The DOA is going to be confirming the list of those missing so we have exact names and numbers, and studying the portal to ensure it's safe to travel through.

The current plan is that tomorrow we'll send a group through, if you wish to sign up to be on the rescue mission, put your name here and be at the DOA offices in the morning for a full briefing. Pack ONE bag, no larger than what you can carry and run with, and bring your weapons of choice.

Lance and I just got done fighting a couple of weird chimera type of assholes with sharp hooks for arms in the forest. We were clearing some underbrush, when jumped us from the trees. They were uncomfortably close to the cabin, but wards kept them out. (Thanks Teela and Atreus.)

They can leap pretty far, they're also twice my height, and they like rushing you. So watch out, whoever's out in the forest. Sending coordinates to patrol now.

I intensely dislike the feeling of lost time.

[Defence Team D]

Hey everyone! Hope you've all been having a great fall.

It's been a long time since the last time we did a team building camp out, and we've got a lot of new team members to break in, so I figured 'hey, what better time than now, before it gets too cold out?'

Would you guys be interested in doing another camp out? Sometime in November, I thinking, if anyone has any particular days that work best for them. Marshmallows and hot dogs over the fire. Maybe roast a boar if Kratos wants to lead another boar hunt?

And I was thinking we could finish it off with the Wild Hunt. Last year, one of the beasts from Preternia followed me

[Mom]

Hey, Mom. So you're uh... looking for new chicken soup recipes, huh? Did you forget the Is that why the soup you made was so Are the ingredients in Vallo diff

Hey assholes don't forget that Fight Club is on Saturday at the Underground.

Yeah, it's a fight club, the title is what it is.

No, you can't use your fantastic amazing life changing magic, I don't make the rules I only enforce them.

Yeah, you will probably not win on your first attempt or even tenth attempt, whatever, get over it and shut up, we all have a good time.

If you have questions, someone will probably answer them.

God, I'm fucking amazing at PR.

Chaos Crew

Lila and I were thinking about going away for the weekend of our birthday, and we don't trust anyone but you guys to watch Gracie. It's a lot to ask, but she's also the best fucking baby ever and she's comfortable with you all.

You idiots can say no, it's fine, we'll just take her with us.

Okay. So funny story. I found an injured? basilisk in the forest, and I was helping it and making it a friend, when it's mate came up behind me and hey it's a good thing I have really good reflexes cause I dodged at the last minute and managed to mitigate some of it! It wasn't even that bad, just on my side.


But then I started turning uh to stone? So for the last hour I've been in the forest kind of stuck here because I figured Fen would come looking for me and I didn't want to admit this to Lance but then another wolf came up? Not one of mine! He's friendly and helped me get my phone out of the not-stoned pocket with my free hand and I think he's looking for his friend? He says his name is Torgal.

Don't tell dad about this post please.

I have been spending this first week of the month harvesting the vegetables ahead of the coming fall. While I have plans to preserve much of it, there is still quite a bit left should anyone be wanting anything. I have an abundance of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, carrots, potatoes, and peas. As well as some fruits - most notably blueberries. Please come take some blueberries.

Yrsa's pumpkins continue to grow, the largest is bigger than her head which she finds absolutely delightful.
