Hellooo Vallo

Did you know it's mine and my sisters birthday? Because it is and you should all wish us happy birthday because we're 30 now and gods how the FUck did that happen


And while youre here, look at these exs excce exceptna great people: ( cut for a bunch of pictures )

Ok if I did not picture you and we're friends, please know it's not because we're not friends. it's just because someone just put a shot down and i have to go

PS i love you, outlanders, thanks for (almost for me) three years

My sense of direction has been questionable at times, but I didn't think it was possible to have landed so far off from my intended destination. Fortunately, I did not have to wander too long before I was greeted by a delightful young man who informed me of the situation I find myself in and even helped me find lodgings for the foreseeable future.

This place seems as good as any for a fresh start.

I've sort of been surprised before about just how long I've been here, so I'll skip that part of this post and instead focus on how in that time I've met way more people than I would have ever expected. I spent a number of years traveling on my own before a bunch of wild adventurers shook up my life, so maybe I should be used to that. The difference between that and here, though, is how we're all from such varied, different places. Back home we were a scattered group across continents, but here in Vallo it's worlds.

I know this isn't news to literally anyone here, but it just had me thinking and I wanted to ask: what's your original home like, wherever you were before you were here? From those I've talked to, it's been a real variety with some having similar to Vallo itself, others from places with no magic, some in space. So, if you're so inclined, tell me about it.

Oh and I should add that the last thing I want is for anyone to get too overwhelmed or bummed with homesickness, so don't feel like you need to answer this if it'll be too much. I'm curious and want to get to know folks, but not so much that I want anyone to feel bad.

I am looking for two things.

First: with Scorpia being gone I'm searching for someone who can manage the front of the house when it comes to the tea shop. Looking for someone who will not murder the difficult customers with violence but with kindness and help other employees. I can do this to an extent, though my patience with the general public thins with every interaction.

Second: the owner of a glowing sword that seems to have its own mind? Reminds me of Clo I don't sense any threatening energy and it seems oddly cheerful. It followed me home after an early walk around the forest this morning. I'll let it stay at my cottage until someone claims it.

Alright. Little late to this, but I've decided this place is pretty okay, if my people are here and I get to swing my hammer at shit. Feels a bit like home, just less constant fucking high stakes, moon bullshit, and people constantly falling out of a skyship.

I mean, I guess. I probably haven't been here to be a real good judge so, fuck me probably. Maybe the moon is fucked here and people do fall out of skyships. They better fucking not.

Anyway. Didn't say this before when I got here, so hey. I'm Ashton.

I guess Glimmer was always meant to be at home, given Shimmer was obviously from home where she and Bow are still together, but you still suck, Vallo.

On another note, New Year's resolutions:
1. Keeping up with Team C bonding-outside-of-work things (sorry for falling down on the job there, guys).
2. Skydiving. I don't know why, I just want to try it. Anyone want to join me?

More to be decided, maybe.

Alright Vallo, what new years resolutions are you making this year? If you make them that is. I'm only making two. One I can't share, but the one I can is to try a new hobby. I haven't figured out what that will be yet. Maybe dance lessons, painting or maybe horseback riding lessons. Or something completely different.

We don't have the end of the year holiday season where I'm from so it has been incredibly interesting learning about it since I've been here. But I think something may have followed me home while I was out shopping for decorations the other day.

I haven't bought a tree yet, but I did get some ornaments. Yesterday I found them hanging from random places in my apartment. My favorite was the one that was hanging from my shower head. This morning I came out into my living room to find a plate of sugar cookies on the coffee table that I am almost sure was not there the night before, one of which was half eaten.

Heads up, I guess, but if anyone sees a giant pink lion with a curly mane, she's... mine, I guess? Melog's going to show her around the forest and I'm not entirely sure how those two are going to get along or if she's going to cause any mischief like Melog has in the past. But her name's Clawdeen, and she's--




Honestly, I don't even know. She's there. File your complaints to me if she starts anything or if you happen to see those two fight, let me know.

PROS FOR MONDAY: Got my entire wardrobe from home, finally.

CONS FOR MONDAY: My room is overrun. This closet space is only big enough to hold a fart.


Throwing it out there, but if dinosaurs are your thing you should subscribe to my channel where I pose hotly in an inflatable t-rex costume and dance around the pole. There's no nudity. Think it's ridiculous? You're absolutely right, it is, but I promise you I've been making a killing off people being into weird things so judge me all you want. I'm flush with $$$$$. Best job I've ever had.

What's something you've always wanted to do, but just haven't yet? And why? If it's not too personal--if it is, you can just send cute animal pics.

Gangsey

I remember.

I'm going to go for a walk, I think.


((here there will be Greywaren spoilers, y'all))

Not sure how I went from leaving Neptune to this place. Or how I feel about having to give my information. Anyone else find the suspicious?

Guess I'm here now. Name's Veronica.

Hello. This is a different kind of larger city than I have been to in a long while. I've been told that if I'm looking for a place to have tea and do some reading, that I should ask this forum.

I'm open to any suggestions. Finding a good sandwich shop would be nice as well.
