vallo

Never thought I would have to ask this here but. Anyone with the experience that can offer recommendations with wedding venues and services here in Vallo? No date set yet, I'm just trying to see what's available first.

I would like to request all the cute animal pictures, please and thank you.

» Did you see the disappearance notification?

I am honored to report that in 2033, we have ended the threat of Interitus for all Vallo timelines. Many are injured, but we are now able to focus on healing rather than destruction.

May fortune smile upon you in 2023 at least as much as it has smiled upon us here. We travelers will see you soon.

Please use this page to check in with your friends and family as needed.

Smiley day to you all, welcome to La Niña. I know you may still be adjusting from your journeys from the Outpost to here last night, and that's quite alright. We, ah, weren't expecting guests so the accommodations might be sparse because it's been awhile since we've had anyone stay residentially--for you traveling folk, La Niña tends to be used only as a medical safehouse for cases that require extensive medical interventions and long term care. Viktor and I run it together. It is still an active medical facility, so please don't enter any designated care areas without being accompanied by one of us, for the safety and security of our patients.

Actually, I know some of you from

So, y'know, check in just to let everyone know you got here okay, I'm going to be wheeling around parceling out supplies, getting a sense of who is where and all, and we'll try and keep you as comfy as we can.

I'm glad you're all here. I don't have the workshop anymore, but I make do with whatever we can get at the compound. Recovery operations are successful pretty often. Viktor's working out of our second location. So if you need to arm up at all, patch any armor, or need gadgets and devices set up, I'm still here to help.

It goes without saying that we're relying pretty heavily on you all, I hope that's not too much stress. But I firmly believe that together we can do this. I don't think the stakes have ever been higher, if that's any motivation.

Hey folks, welcome to the shitty future you're hoping to avoid for yourselves. Thanks for coming.

When you came from, the network is for fun. Here, it's the primary communication medium for a resistance that's scrambling to survive, and it's under constant attack and held together with paperclips and hope. This means:

• Don't try to run a bunch of data across it unless you need to. Keep your comms to text as much as possible.
  
• SECURITY IS PARAMOUNT. You'll notice the passphrase requirements are stricter than on the network you came from. That's because Murderbot got hacked/enthralled and he can bruteforce your oh-so-clever "password1" in about two seconds without even having to know you'd pick a password that dumb in the first place.
  
• Smash your device to pieces before you let it fall into the hands of the enemy.
  

Well, this is a nice welcome back.

Sup, I'm Tyler. I was around a couple of times before. Back again in time for the apocalypse? Love it. I'm going to be eating my feelings at Glenn's bagel cart if anyone wants me to take pity on me and buy me some when I run out of cash because I'm broke af.

Torunn, gotta give you my two weeks. I realize I just started last week, but the apocalypse calls? Which brings me to, sorry guys, but I'm on the list. I'll stop by to see people before I head out tomorrow with the wizards.

This is so awkwa Figured out time travel, but did not plan how to

Hello. It feels odd to introduce myself as many of you already know me, but I am Essek Widogast and I'm here with Caleb (also) Widogast. If my husband's perfect recall can be relied upon, which I am willing to stake most everything on it, the versions of us that you know normally should still be deep within the Aeor that was brought to Vallo, being very much themselves while surrounded by ancient Exandrian magic and technology.

Which is to say, and I'm doing a poor job of getting to the point, we are from a different timeline and time. A few hours ago, we were in 2033 within a branch of the future that is hopefully not your own. The Temporal Concurrence and the aligning of the leylines does, it seem, allow for some otherwise so-called impossible magic when one(s) puts many months of work into entirely too many sleepless nights their wizard mind(s) to it.

I cannot promise to keep a long story short as there are many moving parts and I tend to be accidentally verbose in the best of times, but I think many of you may remember the attack from Interitus that happened in August of 2021. He was not as gone as we had all hoped and is now wreaking havoc upon my and Caleb's timeline. Thanks to the concurrence and the influx of magic, our intel is advising that he is planning on ascending beyond his current form into something akin to godhood. Should he do so, his powers will be made more or less limitless and there will be no stopping him from traveling freely within timelines to destroy every version of Vallo, as has been his will all along. Our version has just been practice for him.

As for why we have broken through literal time and space to visit the past, we are seeking aid. This has already been discussed with the DOA, but there are a few things that we are here for specifically.

First, Interitus is using a simulacrum of sorts as a power focus, which has allowed him to bide his time in our world and eventually build up enough power in secret to take over. We believe that this simulacrum had already arrived in March of 2023--in February, specifically. We do not know where, but our hope is that you fine people will be able to locate and destroy it, specifically at the height of the concurrence to not give away our plans.

Second, Caleb and I are in search of a very specific tome from the Great Library. We unfortunately do not have access to the Library in our time as you do now, but we believe that the tome we are looking for has information regarding locating the object needed to pierce through Interitus's magical defenses. If any librarian friends are willing to volunteer to help with that, as we do need this before we return to our time tomorrow, it would be greatly appreciated.

Finally, and I realize that this is the largest ask of them all, a vision from one of the Prigany psychics has shown us that there are specific people in the future that aid in the efforts. Our understanding is that these people come to us from your timeline and travel to our own. We have a list of those people, who I will be filtering separately with more information. Please know there is no expectation. We are not here to force anyone to help, regardless of psychic visions.

This is long and a great deal of information for a Monday, I understand. Caleb and I are here to answer any questions that we can--at least those questions that do not pose more harm to the timelines than our being here already might.

Sometimes I look at my dog and just can't help but wonder why. And how. Why and how.



He refused to let me help him get out for a good twenty minutes too. Must have been comfy.

I'm not sure what it says about me that my Vallo experience so far, aside from spending time with family, has mostly revolved around food but I guess there's worse things. Highly recommend the Jjambbong at Angry Tofu though. About as spicy as my Ma used to make it. Which is saying something.

I've had plenty experience bartering with Jawas and those kriffing bastards go hard. Given the amount of credit I just dropped on cookies after politely declining at first, I'd love to see them try dealing with Girl Scouts.

Alright, someone explain whatever the hell Valentine's Day is to me. I'm getting mixed fucking messages on the search thing and you all seem to understand in this place's charm.

BELLS HELLS

Any of you know what's up with that one guy from home?

That probably doesn't fucking narrow it down, huh. He's the one with the--fuck, I don't know. A face? You know who I'm talking about. The human looking one.

How many anti-anxiety meds and potions should I be stocking up on after this?

Cautelosa has decided she is an indoor duckling and the coffee cup is her new home. I guess it's warmer in here than it is outside now so I don't really blame her. Plus, it's adorable.

General reminder to to everyone, but especially our defense teams, so stay warm out there. Stay in contact with each other and the DOA, stay in pairs if possible while we continue the search for a cause/solution. Don't make me come after you, I'm too cold to be effectively angry.

Hm. I don't remember this round, so this is going to be interesting.

Form Voltron and give me your breakfast orders. Then clear you're schedules, you're all helping us move into the cabin.

FILTERED TO FRIENDS/FAMILY:
So update... two more showed up last night - this morning I guess? At some point between 1 and 4 am. Franci and Faye. Franci has requested we go to, and I quote, "the place where I won the giant rat", for Atreus' birthday again. I am assuming she means Chuck E Cheese, or at least I'm hoping she does and there's not somewhere handing out real giant rats to six year olds. I managed to convince her to go Good Times instead on the promise there is still, and again, I quote "the thing where I threw balls in a hole". But I figured it'll be at least slightly less grating than Chuck E Cheese and have better food. Friday night at 6, we have a room booked.

Oh and coffee. Someone please send me all the coffee.

Alright, so, looks like Vallo decided I needed a trip back to Year One. Cool. Cool cool cool. Hi, past Vallo. I'm sure you've already heard you're all babies, but just in case, you're all babies.

Btw past-me (present-me? I still don't get the technicalities of these things) signed us up for pumpkin carving, Nat. Can Yelena be trusted with knives at this age?
