vallo

This is like.. probably a little late since its literally the day before, but if you're having any thoughts about the prom, I say you should go for it. Date or not. Last year's was absolutely magical and I'm so glad I got the chance to go.

I know it's going to be a Saturday and there's that many hours that we're open but if you got plans to go and you need an extra few hours to get ready for the party, I can step in. Do anything extra that needs to be done.

So after my whole earth titan thing had some folk surprised, it had me thinking. We've all got some kind of weird life story, tragic or magical or funky or otherwise, from before we were all forced to live in merriment here in Vallo. So tell me, or the class at large, something about yourself that's shocking. Could be personal, could be weird world shit (though that's been asked about before, so no fucking repeats because that's cheating), could be adventures had. I don't care, I just want to be entertained because I finished this documentary about weird cheese and am real hung up about it.

Also yesterday was my birthday (and no one else's, don't believe the rumors) (also I don't know how old I am so don't ask), so I think by birthday rights you've got to play along. I don't make the fucking rules, okay.

Or also don't play along. I'm not your fucking parent and be grateful for that.

I just want you to know I didn't forget to make our reservation at the Canteen, I just forgot to tell you I made our reservation at the Canteen. We're all set for cool cat dinner before prom next weekend.

The guy finished the alterations on the suit, and you were right, the purple looks cool. Do you have time to show me the other ways to tie a tie sometime this week?

Okay, I've got the dinner reservations. I have my suit. I have El's corsage ordered to pick up on Friday. El has our ride taken care of. Am I forgetting any important prom stuff?

I've only half tested this whole I Can Turn Into An Earth Titan thing now and I feel like that's fucking sad. What's the point of being able to turn into an earth titan if you don't know what it's all about, right? Exactly.

So who wants to possibly get punched in the face and/or slammed by a hammer via an earth titan and spar and shit. I'll supplement your time with drinks, because that's how fucking nice I am.

Bet you all thought I was a goner, eh? Tough! I have been stitched back together and will be back charming all the pretty girls in town before you can say pelvic fracture. Which are two words I'd prefer to never hear again, if it's all the same.

When I'm done catching up on work I think I need to start training in earnest. What little I've been doing lately is apparently not cutting it. Anyone know a group I could join?

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?

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?

I could probably forget about ever trying to go through even one full semester with a perfect attendance.

My memories are still not clear about what happened, nor do I think they ever will be, but I think I'm good with it. As long as everyone is okay and the library is safe. Which it is. Good work on holding the fort down, coworkers who remained here!

Can we do something together this weekend? I want a video game night.

There's nothing like knowing you just scored the perfect Christmas present for somebody. I actually shouted "YES!" out loud in a public place when I found it. I'm gonna be high on this all day.

Guess what I found at the record store? My "what the hell do I get Hopper for Christmas" panic is cancelled, because the answer to that question is FIVE Jim Croce albums! And they weren't even that expensive, because people in Vallo don't know who that is!

I suppose I should officially introduce myself on this Network now that I'm all settled in and have received my requisite hour of incomprehensible Edwin Courcey explanation. Though I suppose neither I nor anyone trying to make some sort of immersive illusion could have managed to make that feel quite so authentic. I swear, he's the only man I know who could make "space-time continuum" and "travelling to an alternate dimension" put me to sleep.

In any case, my name is Violet Debenham. I see we're all very open about ~*~magic~*~ here, so I may as well get it out of the way that I'm a magician, and an actress. And I suppose this might be a nice vacation from real life, at least for a little while even if Edwin said he's been here for nearly two yea

So, this is twenty, huh? Gotta say, never thought I'd live to see it.


lmao just kidding, I didn't.



Anyway. If I was back home, I guess I'd officially be an adult now, and be able to legally do all those things adults did, like drive and drink and smoke and vote. Not that I wasn't already half those things anyway (and I don't think voting was ever in the cards, even if I did live to the ripe old age of 20).

So uh. Guess that's a thing now. Sup, adulthood.

I'm gonna be picking up Eddie's DMing for kids on Sundays at Wicked Games. It's kind of intimidating trying to pick up where the master left off, but I'm gonna do my best. So if you have kids who play, go ahead and bring them: the battle to defeat The Dark Omnificus and rescue the Unicorn Princess is still on.

So obviously our gaming group has taken a big hit. I wanted to ask you guys if you want to keep going with this campaign and come up with something to do with Eddie and Dustin's characters, start something new with just us, start something new and try to recruit a couple more people, put the whole thing on hold indefinitely, or put the whole thing on hold for a set amount of time (like a month or something).

I'll roll with whatever you guys want to do, but I'm hoping you'll want to continue in some way at some point. You're both great players and I like playing with you.

If it's not too much of a hassle, I need to be excused from work for the next two days, three days top.

Drinks are on me tonight, mates. After that performance, I say we've earned a few.

SONG CHOICE: A situationally relevant take on One Day More from Les Miserables

( One Song More! )

First, a big thank you to everyone who was able to help in tracking down exactly what's going on with this singing and dancing situation. Hopefully everyone is doing alright--I know there were some injuries, so please make sure you're going to the clinic for treatment, if it's bad enough to warrant it.

That said, there is a warehouse that all of this seems to be originating from. The theory right now is there's some sort of artifact there that's causing it, but unfortunately there are a lot of things in the warehouse, because it's all done up for a party for the upcoming holiday. I'm told the whole place seems pretty doused in magic, so figuring out which thing is causing the issues isn't going to be as straightforward as it looks. The magic itself isn't being dispelled, so we're going back to basics.

Here's the pretty simple plan: we go in and just start breaking things until one does the trick. This is a big job given how large and just how packed the warehouse is, so anyone that's willing to help would be appreciated. The warehouse is located at [coordinates] and a portal is being set up in the DOA offices to help people jump, whichever is easier.

Thank you in advance to everyone that can help out.

CRITICAL ROLE PEOPLE, FUTURE & PRESENT

Sorry to tack this on at the end here, but it's been on my mind and I just haven't had much of a second to bring it up with everything going on. I was thinking that it would be nice to have a meal or something this weekend, hopefully all of the above being settled by then. I know some of you have gone through this time stuff before, but it feels like a unique opportunity to just get together with so many of us.

I don't know if it would be easier to host something at one of our houses or taking over a restaurant? I hadn't thought that far ahead, I'll admit, I just wanted to throw the idea out there.

If anyone needs any animal company while you're singing to truly live out your Disney dream, just ask! My specialty is smaller woodland creatures but I can go PRETTY big when needed. The owlbear might be a little fierce but that's okay! You do you!

Also, hi, I'm Oona Hopper, my family already knows I'm here and I've been around for a few days eating SO many waffles with El (that's not all that different in my time but she's younger and so cute you guys I have the BEST sister!!!!!) (And Pops, like, my constant moral issue is how did I luck out into getting him as a dad????) but I wanted to say hi anyway!

Wait

Fuck

It's this shit fixed or not? WHO'S GOT EYES ON HENDERSON? This shit still isn't funny
