» I got hit with memories of it please confirm
» want to help me throw him a party? 😘

Hey out there, Network People. I heard I should introduce myself here. I'm Liam, I've been here about a week, and I haven't posted because - technology, that's new. But I think I've got the hang of it now, and Violet says you guys like pictures of cool things, so here's one.



I don't usually get to paint them, but you guys have craft stores that are pretty awesome. I spent almost all of my DOA stipend there, so that probably means it's time I get a job. Who's got good work recommendations for a dragon-less dragon rider?

Right then! Just wanted to pop on now that I've got a bit more of a handle on things, and say a heartfelt cheers and thanks to those that helped me during my quite ghastly arrival. Even those of you that laughed at me - hope to have brought some humor for your day.

I never got to make proper introductions, all said. I'm Si Robin Blyth, I come from the same ah- time? place? world? These things go over my head - as Edw Ms. Violet Debenham, and Mr. Edwin Courcey, but! If you hadn't guessed by my previous blundering, I am not lucky enough to be as gifted as they are with magic, just stumbled into it by accident and then ended up with unexpected psychic abilities! Though, I've learned that having foresight really isn't that helpful at all, in the end, especially not when they couldn't even warn me I'd be walking into a but apparently I'm not the only one of my kind here?

It is nice being able to say that part to the general public! So far I've heard of the same-sex marriages, the fact that women have far more freedom, and experienced now the indoor plumbing and hot showers on command. Tell me of more wonders? What am I missing? I've become acquainted with several bars and taverns since my arrival so that part is covered now do your worst.

FILTERED TO MAGIC USERS, ELIPHAS GRIMSBANE, AND CAYDEN YARROW.

I need help.

I know. No one asks for help anymore. But I am. Some of you are privy to all the shit going on with this body me. And after the last world we were in And after pouring over everything I can possibly think of, we're I'm at a roadblock.

Reverse this, break the magic, whatever it is you do. I'm willing to do anything. Just name your price to get me back to what I am.

Things I've learned this past week:

1. There's a reason that Vex was always the one that took the lead in the woods and why I took the lead when we were in cities. Nature is grand and beautiful, but fucking hell I was not made for it and never will be made for it, at least not for extended periods. Velora is already asking about a weekend camping trip and I can't tell if she's giving me a hard time or actually wants to go.

2. Squirrels are total gossips. Genuinely, I feel the need to check in with the ones that live around the house, just to see what is going on.

3. My bear of a nephew is a pretty good thief, if he's stealing from you while you're exhausted from walking around a forest that wants to kill you at every turn.

4. Despite roughing it in a mountain, my fiance was still as radiant as ever, which I think should come to no one's surprise. I did not fare as well and I swear that I am still picking twigs and leaves out of my hair.

5. Can we be done now? This is not a lesson learned, just a plea.

SHAUN

Also I'm sorry I tried to rescue you when I said that I wouldn't.

[ooc: open to formerly!captured group, mountain group, and Wild Vallo Outlanders. Posted after the Treant rescue.]

Is everyone accounted for or do we need to go fuck up more angry trees?

Kit and I were barely out of the forest when a violent head-ache struck us both simultaneously. Has anyone else been struck with this affliction? We are safely home now, the pain in the past and the mission complete, but it seemed wise to inquire.

TELEPATHIC MESSAGE TO DECAY.

If she doesn't stop giving me a look, I'm leaving.

TEXTS TO CAYDEN AND ELI.

» I want to reach you both without using the phone.
» How long do you think this will last?
» How much longer do I have to be on bed rest?
» Eli come be near me so I can mimic the speed again.

I find myself this morning with a rather large hole in my kitchen wall. I'm so, so sorry, Sutton, I will make it up to you

Has anyone else woken this morning to find themselves with [...] stranger than usual powers?

TELEPATHIC MESSAGE TO CAYDEN.

Where are you.

Hi! So I'm Kai, and it seems like introductions are next on my list of things to do? I may have met some of you before if you've ever ventured down to Atlantis or but ✨surprise✨ I live here now! You know, I'd never been to Downtown Vallo before? There is so much to see and do, and so much food we didn't have in Atlantis. Only sort of judging all of you eating at the seafood place (sort of, but not really, I'm not judgy by nature to be honest), but spaghetti? I could eat it literally every day. 10/10 would recommend.

Anyway, I'm rambling and nervous but but I'm currently taking recommendations for what to check out next. What does Vallo have that Atlantis could never compete with?

Who wants to go see some weird art with me?

Warning: it's going to be very weird. Vallo City's performance art scene is pretty wild, and WEPT (World's End Puppet Theater) is maybe the wildest of them all. They have made puppets do things that legitimately disturbed me. BUT, their puppetry actually is amazing, both for construction and performance, and it's worth going to see even if "what even was that?" isn't usually what you like to come out of a theater thinking.

It's just $5, and it's at the Odditorium at 9 p.m. on Friday before the drag show, which I'll probably stay for if anybody else is up for coming along. (If you don't know drag show etiquette, I'm happy to fill you in before showtime. Mainly just make sure you bring cash to tip the queens.)

So who's in? (Kaitlyn and Iris, you can answer but I'm dragging you with me no matter what you say.)

Someone left their footprints all over the grass in the Forest. The grass that, as it turns out, has very clear and obvious signage that says to not tread upon it. The grass that we work very hard to maintain to add to important things like the oxygen we breathe.

Do not step on it again, mysterious person. The surveillance did not catch anyone this time which is rather, but just do not.

All right, thank you.

Power is back on in the barracks.

The outage was a result of deliberate sabotage to the electrical system. The culprit is unknown for now, but the situation has been reported to the captain.

When you have time, go to your pod and do an inspection, and report back if anything went missing or was disturbed in the dark.
