[Private Message to Lan Xichen]

I know we are only days away from our anniversary trip to Solstice Springs, but I am sorry, my love, I do not think I could bear it.

Would you be terribly upset if I were to cancel our reservation?

I know we hate these fucking portals, but there better be one because there is not a chance in the hells that both my fiance and sister disappeared right in front of me and it can't be fixed.

Added later:

No place better to start a list.

Alright so, I've been thinking with these alternate worlds and portals and shit. There seems to just be an infinite number of possibilities, but I guess that was always fucking obvious given how we're all from our own weirdo worlds and some are super samesie but just off axis just a smidge or whatever.

So here's what I'm curious about. Share with the class something about your world that's totally fucking normal to you, but someone from another would stare at you like you sprouted additional heads if you told them. This can be something big (example: the moon is a prison) to something smaller (example: broccoli is sentient), whatever you want. Fucking dazzle me.

AKA I'm pretty sure I've watched every documentary there fucking is and I need to be entertained, let's go.

» Hello Dear Heart. How are your meetings today? I hope they've not been too difficult, but I've prepared some cream puffs for your return home.
» I also believe Vallo's given us a gift that I hope will please you.

HEY, VALLOITES, HEY. GUESS WHAT. I MADE A DRAGON FRIEND!

She was fighting a bunch of large ants (because WHY NOT, VALLO, WHY NOT) when Carol and I came across her so we stopped to help. She reminds me of a starling bird. Anyone happen to know her?

Despite the giant ants -- thanks a whole lot, Vallo -- I think I call this a great day just for meeting a dragon.



That's not the dragon. That's me dancing for meeting a dragon.

Hey, I'm looking for odd jobs that a teenager is allowed to do so I can pick up some extra money to pay for prom stuff. So if anybody needs, like...a bookshelf put together or their library catalogued or the oil changed in their car or something, call me. I want my girlfriend to be able to order an appetizer at pre-prom dinner if she wants.

Hey Mr. Laurence, this is Mike, Nancy's brother. You also might remember me from helping out with the kid camp at Art of Expression back when everybody got turned into kids.

I wanted to ask for some I guess fashion advice? El and I are going to the prom in May, and you're supposed to dress formal for that. I've never dressed any more formal than basic going to church clothes, so I have no idea what I'm doing. You always look really sharp, so I was hoping maybe you could help me with figuring out what to wear for this?

I have several informal meetings with coven leadership scheduled for the coming weeks. My desire is to confirm that our recent troubles are the result of a small party of malcontents rather than a sign of more trials to come. Based on coven leaders' responses to my invitations to meet, I am hopeful for positive outcomes. I will, of course, report in again as these meetings are concluded.

Forgive me, my heart - I am sorry to say that I will be late for dinner once more. May fortune smile upon us and see Prompto's roles filled again soon.

When I first found myself in Vallo, more than two years ago, I found myself quite unmoored. Vallo was like no place I had ever been, beyond even my wildest imaginings, both in terms of technology and culture.

I was lucky enough to make friends with men and women who helped acclimatize me to this new world; some a little less gently than others. I'm afraid the last of those kind people have now gone. But thanks to Ignis, I've now found a pleasure and ability in cooking that I likely never would have found had I remained home and never met him, and his affection for his husbands is, I suspect, at least part of the reason I was able to allow myself to fall for my own husband. If, three years ago, someone had told me I'd not only witness, but also help plan the bachelor party for a wedding between four men, I would have thought them quite mad, but I am glad, very glad, that they allowed me to be a part of their lives.

Ignis, Noctis, Prompto and Gladios will be missed. But they'll not be forgotten any time soon.

So introduction 2.0? I'm Violet, I missed most of you arriving because I got here when everyone was gone, I guess? I added to the black dragon population since Tairn arrived a few days after I did, you might've seen him if you were at the battle, or at our first training session with our new Defense team.

I've noticed our world has a lot of different rules for dragons, so I figured I should go over them. Mostly so it's not awkward, again, when I speak for him? I promise I don't forbid him from talking or anything, it's just that our dragons only speak to their riders and other dragons. So if he's not talking to you, it's not personal, it's just you aren't worthy no that's rude his person.

Second is that, technically, it's considered rude to them for someone to talk directly to a dragon that isn't your own? But Tairn promised he'll be open-minded and he's not going to eat any allies who do. He just may not be in the mood to answer.

And this isn't really a rule but he has a mate back home that isn't here, so Tairn is crankier than usual. I can't blame him, it sucks, and actually physically hurts him to be away from her for long. He won't hurt anyone on purpose unless they threaten me or him, though.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I probably can't answer everything because dragons keep a lot of secrets, but this place even being weird and chaotic is a lot more calm than home and no one's even tried to murder me once.
