vallo

So I'm like 99.8% sure I didn't end up here through some kind of quantum entanglement or anything. The welcome was definitely better than the last place. Plus, you know, no one is trying to catch me or kill me or stop me or- yeah, I'm gonna stop there. So this is like NextDoor for Superheroes or something?

Oh hey, I'm Miles. Go easy on the new guy?

[FILTERED TO THE GUARDIANS]

hey look who I found.



she was tucked away inside knowhere so we should probably give the whole place a once over just in case the big guy or the bug are napping under some rubble. also she says we owe her the "good treats" so if you don't wanna hear her bitching all day I suggest one of you bring something top tier.

oh and I upgraded our sound system. freaking ENJOY.

The smell has to be the worst part of cleaning up after a flood. I thought I'd gone noseblind to it years ago, but apparently I took enough of a break that a swamp smells like a damned swamp again.

I'm nearly done with clearing the seaweed and flotsam out of my house. How are the rest of you faring?

Expect a proper community post from Thor after we're done in the town square, and of course he offers his assistance to any of you who need a hand cleaning up in your homes.

Well, the Wilson house got hit pretty hard. If there's anyone who's in a safe location and doesn't mind taking in a friendly Rottie for a bit? I don't feel comfortable trying to leave Lola in the house even if it's on the upper floors, while I'm flying around the town.

And speaking of, anyone else out on patrol notice what looks like a massive metal head sticking out of the water near New Asgard? Not entirely sure what it is but this is a heads up for anyone who (1) does know what it is, and (2) also knows if we need to be cautious or anything.

GUARDIANS.

I am making a trek - by myself - to the grocery store to minimize the chances of theft, violence, and to keep a certain someone from opening a giant bag of candy, climbing into that bag of candy, and then devouring all the contents of that giant bag of candy.

Send me your requests.

alright I got news for you weirdos. did a favor for a guy with a horse's ass and it turns out he's got this old radio station out in the woods. he says I can play some music if I fix it up. and bring my own chair of course. so outlander radio is coming to you starting tomorrow. no you can't make requests. you can tune in to 90.9 and hear the good stuff or you can listen to your own goddamn music. won't make any difference to me.

ETA: scratch that it's playing now. freaking enjoy.

It's that time of year again, where I sit in my chair here and reflect on one of the holidays that have had the most impact on my life. Back home, of course. If you have a moment, I'll tell you more about it.

Where I'm from, the 4th of July is a day of remembrance, where we reflect on the sacrifices made by our forefathers and the brave men and women who fought valiantly to secure our freedom. It is a day of pride, as we honor the resilience of our nation and the spirit of unity that unites us as Americans.

As Captain America, I have had the honor of witnessing the strength and resilience of the American people. We come from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and beliefs, but on this day, we come together to celebrate as one nation. The 4th of July is a powerful reminder of the unity we can achieve when we set aside our differences and work together for the greater good.

While this day holds immense significance for the United States, its essence transcends borders. The spirit of independence, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is universal and resonates with all beings, no matter where they come from. It is a spirit that unites us as sentient beings, no matter our origins or the stars from which we hail.

I extend an invitation to join in the celebration of the 4th of July. Today, we stand as a testament to the power of unity, hope, and the unbreakable human spirit. Let this day be a reminder that no matter how far apart our worlds may be, we share a common desire for freedom and peace.

Sam will remind you that it's also my birthday and I believe Sam and Kate’s event is open for anyone interested in joining.

I asked around and there's a parade this weekend for Pride. I know this is unbelievable, but I've never actually seen a real parade. So that's happening. Parties, I bet? Somewhere? As long as there's good music, count me in. Because look, I've seen a LOT in my -cosmic adventures- and Earth is literally the only place where people seem to have a problem with who you love. Or even how you love. It's bullcrap. So this whole event, coming together to celebrate diversity and unity? I'm freaking IN.

This weekend, I'm gonna be a Guardian of the Rainbow. Aw yeah.

Mass email sent to everyone who gave Henry their contact info for Prom Photos:
Good Morning:

To everyone who was at Prom last Saturday, I'm almost done with the photos and should have them ready to send to people later today and tomorrow. I'm sorry it's taken me a little longer than I would have liked, but there was an issue at my apartment earlier this week with one of those damn hands and a window.

Thank you very much for your patience.

Private Message to Rocket Racoon

Good Morning Rocket, I got a lot of pictures of Groot with a lot of people during Prom last Saturday. I wondered if he might like to have them in a photo book, or something?

Good Afternoon.

I was told that I can contact others in this community by means of this device. The technology here is quite different from where I woke this morning, but it seems very user friendly easy to understand and adapt to. I do have a question, however: are many fingered creatures considered part of the normal forest wildlife? If so, how does one go about not encountering them?

Hello! I found Groot! Or I assume they’re Groot because they keep saying “I am Groot” so I guess a really good assumption. They were fighting a bunch of squirrels just now which I totally get. You should see NJ/NY squirrels. No cares in the world, will probably snatch food right out of your hands. But I guess that’s what happens when you have that many people and very little trees.

Anyway, pic for proof!

[attached: a selfie with Groot sitting on her shoulder, both wearing big grins]

June 4th was would have been my one-year wedding anniversary. I will start by saying this: I'm not devastated, and I have obviously not turned half of Vallo into a sitcom starring myself. I am fine. Truly. For those who do not know me, Vallo took away my husband. [...] And then my boyfriend, technically, but he was the boyfriend I had back home that was murdered by Thanos. That is slightly confusing

Anyway, this post is not about grief and I am not alone on this boat. This is more about... hope, I suppose? A lot of us know well how chaotic Vallo's nature is, bringing in the people you love only to take them away later. Or they bring you someone who is not from your world but you bond with them regardless. You learn to love them. Then there is the opportunity to take the plunge into something deeper, and you should. It does not matter what Vallo can do and don't hesitate because of Vallo.

If you want to, then do it. Make the memories. Date that person, marry them, try to make a family if that is what you want. The what if thoughts might always do the worst damage to you than this place could.

That is my one post for the year. Goodbye.



Oh! Iced tea weather. We have a lot of refreshing, fruity blends at my shop. [INSERT ADDRESS HERE hello] Cold tarts as well. We have a wall of books for people to browse there is erotica if you know where to look, and anything on the menu is available for delivery. Tommy will get them to you in less than five seconds. (Is less than five seconds insulting my son's speed? I'm sorry.)

So I just saw a guy walking down the street with a fully functional metal arm. Is that like, something anyone can get, or do you have to be some sort of super badass? Because I've been rocking this hook hand for a couple of weeks now and like, it's nice, I'm all about the pirate aesthetic, but there's something to be said about being able to tie my own shoelaces.

So hey, did anyone else show up here with a bunch of people from the same universe as you, where you guys remember more or less the exact same things except with a couple of little differences?

And by a couple of little differences, I mean some pretty major differences.

Hello. I am Spock.

I have familiarized myself with your communications device and message board. Please correct me if message board is an inaccurate descriptor of your communication interface. I am still becoming accustomed to the features and limitations of local technology and wish to be precise.

I have additional queries for the Outlander population should anyone have the expertise and inclination to answer them. For the sake of efficiency I did not wish to take anymore of the DOA's time than necessary.

Thank you.

You know, as far as interdimensional adventures go, I think this might be- no, definitely is the best one. Did I have to register myself for money? Sure, I did a lot more for a driver's license. Do I have all my gear? No, but I'm sure I can get more. Does my hip kind of hurt from my landing? Oh yeah.

BUT the people I love are here. Most of them. And the most important one (no offense to the others, you understand). So things are definitely looking up.

Now all I need is a place to get a great burger and life will be perfect.

Oh yeah, sorry. Peter Quill, nice to be here.

Lots of new people lately.

Hi new people. I’m Thom. Have an important question for you to answer now that you’re here in Vallo.

How many three year olds could you reasonably take in a fight?

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?
