vallo

Seriously?! Fitz is gone. Just like that?? No goodbye, see you later, or whatever? Just poof and gone!!

Fuck this.

[ooc: feel free to handwave anyone having an ancient vallo journal~]

Hey, can we get an update? Just a little nervous.



Also, on our end, I've been told that it's just more angry vegetation coming through the portals. The portals also are moving around the island. But if you're dealing with plants much like these over there, just wondering if people are still captured and all of that.

Is my wife Anyway--thank you.

[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?

I hope these things work

To anyone who can see this: This is Rowen Hashiba. Me and 7 others have been captured by a bunch of sentient monster-trees.

With me are:
Sam
Dorian
Ashton
Tessa
Laurence
FCG
Tommy

I managed to get out -- I'm going to get my armor back and fee the others before the trees eat us.

SEND HELP!



[A few minutes after posting, Rowen is able to shoot one of his arrows into the sky above the encampment to alert the Mountain Rescue and Wild Vallo people where they are]

Uuugghhh uuurp!

Did anyone try to eat the Candy Land down town? If not, I can report that it was delicious. I can also report that I might have eaten too much of it.

If anyone needs me, I'm just gonna sit on the sidewalk for a little while.

[Filtered away from the Leadership Personnel]

Guys, I just saw Commander La Croix in the corridor. She was muttering about being locked out of the Reactor due too many "invalid" attempts or something. Who the hell is doing all this weird shit?

listen up humies. there's apples in the mess hall today and I'm gonna need every one of you to give me yours. you'll be donating to a GOOD CAUSE if you catch my drift.

oh and groot says he'll trade for cheese balls. he's got like three ship credits to his name though I'm just saying.

[Sounds of confusion in the background]

Hey, Kara? Rocket? Anyone? You know those portal things that someone - who was it? Octavia, I think? - posted about just a while ago? What do they look like? 'Cause I think I found some.

[more unsettling background noises]

Oh shit!

[Rowen can be heard summoning his armor] Armor of Strata! Dao Inogi!

[Muffled noises before Rowen comes back]

I can try to keep'em here, but I could use some help!

Uh so is it always like this around here? Chaotic but quiet all at once?

I'm Violet. They told me I wasn't being held hostage and the mender dropped me off at the place where they gave me money? But I'd rather find my dragons. So if you see a giant black dragon followed around by a smaller black dragon, let me know? Neither of them are very good at being well-behaved if they think I'm in danger.

Good morning, everyone. I know we've all been feeling tense as we wait for word from our volunteers who went through the portal. I know that brings with it an inherent feeling of helplessness; I'm sorry there isn't more we can do on that end at the moment. However, we do have news.

The DOA received a call from the Vallo Police Department early this morning. Late last night, Dahlia Argent, of Beketh coven, turned herself in as a party in the portal beasts incident back in November. Along with our people, her sister, Luciana, was taken by the portal, as well as some Vallo residents - the exact number is currently being investigated. DOA leadership was invited to come speak with Ms. Argent, and we've learned the following:

A group of Vallo natives have been working on ways to open a portal to send Outlanders either back to their world or out of Vallo permanently. The teleportation circle found by Sam Wilson in December, as well as a portal that opened on Geliara Academy's grounds and the theft of the Ashurbanipal amulet in November were all early, failed attempts at targeting Outlanders. The November 10th incident with the portal beasts was the closest they've come to success, but they didn't have the correct knowledge to close the portals without threatening the rest of Vallo.

This group has been using the teachings and research of the Guide of Existence, also known as Bronislavas of Beketh, whose body is on display in the Vallo Museum of Natural Magicks. They've made attempts to resurrect him for his assistance - if you remember, the museum was broken into back in August and that particular exhibit was temporarily closed; this was an attempt to take one of Bronislavas' bones for the resurrection process. This plan also failed.

After discussions with VPD and Beketh, they've agreed to let Outlanders take matters into our own hands. We've been granted permission to resurrect Bronislavas and, hopefully, both get more answers on this portal and his assistance in bringing the missing back home. If any of our community have the appropriate skills for this task, please let us know here, and the DOA will facilitate any way we can.

Hello? Huh. It really does type everything I say. That's fucking handy.

Wait. Can I say fucking?

Huh. Guess so.

I was told yesterday that I should come on here and make some kind of introduction and since I woke up this today still here, I guess I probably should. Hi. I'm Rowen and I have questions

Or, after today I guess one huge question: Are you all sure that there isn't some kind of evil force at work here? 'Cause those plant things seemed pretty freaking evil to me.

Things I wasn't expecting today: a guy just falling from the sky in full armor and nearly landing on me.
Things that happened today: that.

Happy fucking Thursday, you all.

tw: discussion of pregnancy in comments

Things I didn't miss:

Nearly burning down the house trying to make a Thanksgiving dinner.

Things I am missing:

Black Friday. I need new boots and do not want to pay full retail thank you very much.
