vallo

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.

H blast ho
W do I

THERE THATS SOMETYING, I YHINK
FUCK

NO THATS IMPOLITE HO W DO YOU REMOVE THERE SURELY

at this point just leave me here lost to die I cannot recover from this and I haven to the fainted idea if hie to use this internal yhing

Id like to go home now I think

Ah-- Hello, good morning. I know that it is early for most, but well. I seem to have lost track of the hour.

A thought occurred to me in the night while I was trancing. It--well If you are unfamiliar, it is something that my variation of elves can do, wherein we do not have to sleep and instead go into a meditative trance and do exercises--it hardly matters, but I generally go over thoughts of whatever I am working on or Ca so my thoughts were lingering on this issue we have been going over regarding the portal beast since yesterday and--

I apologize, I did not actually finish my trance and am surviving on coffee and hope at the moment.

Anyway, I had a thought, specifically from the transmutation books that Prigany brought and a few specific runes that those idiots the culprits had tried to use and everything else surrounding the situation and, this might sound mad and I will need someone or a few someones to look over my work, but I am certain that they somehow managed to turn a waypoint crystal into the creature that we have been dealing with today and all of the portals and its glitching and disappearing are stemming from the fact that the magic of the waypoints just shouldn't be within something living and breathing like that.

As I said, I am humble enough to want someone to look over what led me to this conclusion as I have all of the work to show for it, but my humbleness ends at a point as I do have confidence here. There is nowhere for us to send the creature, as they were created and are truly from our Vallo. Perhaps this is something to confirm with them, if communication is at all possible?

But, ah--that is all. It feels as though this narrows our options.

It occurs to me that we will need a way to contain the portal beast once we manage to find her (or him? I don't suppose anyone knows?).

I have been working on a spell which I think could be effective to use, especially if it's paired with some sort of structure, but I will need a couple more days to work out the details, and as I cannot cast the spell myself, I will need someone with more powerful magic to do so and so I think I will need time to craft the spell to tailor the spell to their magic.

I have been unable to complete my normal tasks for several days now. In exchange, I have been able to master a few small magicks that have been helpful in a way. It is not a fair trade, but at least I am not helpless. In times like these, I am grateful for the allies I have made as I do not feel vulnerable to enemies.

However, Atreus has helped me realize that I am feeling things I do not want to feel. Many of you are carrying emotional burdens and are putting on a false face so that others do not see how you are truly feeling. I would suggest finding someone to help you past these burdens or to help release them. I have dealt with too many spirits with lingering regrets that I would not wish the same upon you.

Also, I would like to return to not understanding how you feel.

Oi. Who's got my magic? This sort of thing is considered very taboo where I come from, although I appreciate it's another amusing Vallo quirk, it doesn't mean I have to like it.

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?

After figuring out explosives weren't the best route, the vacuum cleaner I rigged has contained the slime without them getting out and nobody has had to touch them.

Who do I send the containers to? I can incinerate them.

Let me preface this post by saying I know what I'm discussing here will make people uncomfortable. Trust me when I say it's necessary information, and I am not letting any command withhold any more vital information.

Captain Alarie has been found on his ship. Unfortunately, he's long dead - I'd guess for weeks - and covered in slime. We've also confirmed via this morning's autopsy that Daud's body was filled with slime. Between this and the intel we've received from other Vallo, I think it's safe to assume the slime Saferra has been working with may be responsible for V.A.L.L.O.'s troubles this week.

Whatever measures we may take to deal with this problem, I'd advise finding a buddy. Don't let your close ones out of your sight.

Uh What do you say when you are seeing if another world can see what you're writi

Hello, this is Orym of the Air Asha Beketh Squadron, Communications. I know that there is a lot going on around the ship and everything is confusing and bad, but there might be a bit of good news for you new folks.

With our comms back up, we almost immediately received a signal that was first theorized and then confirmed to be coming from your side of things. It's gotten stronger as we've drifted closer to the proximity of the assumed portal. Long story short, I've been told that they should be able to see this and you lot should be able to communicate with one another now.

So uh if anyone not currently on the V.A.L.L.O. could confirm that, that would be super helpful. I'm sure your people will be relieved to hear from you.

If nearly being eaten by slime yesterday wasn't disconcerting enough, it was more so to find myself in the containment unit that had previously housed an amorphous green slime. He seems rather reticent, but he does do a remarkably good impression of me though I'm sure I'm not nearly so

He appears to be fully human when examined through x-ray, but there is something a little off when tested by magical means. I suppose we must be wary. I understand the DOA has collected what slime samples they've encountered, but there's always the possibility that some have been missed.

To anyone at or near the coast of New Asgard, a Kungfu Dugong appeared in the waters around the Going Merry this morning.



Kungfu Dugongs aren't dangerous, but they do love to fight and will challenge anyone who approaches them.

As I said it seems to have made the waters around the Merry it's home, so please be careful when approaching. Unless you want to fight, then by all means, please feel free.

STRAWHATS
Kungfu Dugongs are native to an island in the Grand Line. I'm not sure how it found it's way here, but it doesn't seem to want to go anywhere else.

If any of you fight it and win (which I'm sure each of you will at some point), it will become your disciple.

Could you clarify this conversation with me? She's giving me the impression she has no idea who I am, which is silly to consider, given that you apparently talked to her for an hour.

It it strange to think that three months has passed since I first found myself among those now calling Vallo home, and it still feels as though there is no shortage of interesting things to uncover. The sheer volume of books alone, the information stored in this device, it seems endless at times.

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to everyone for making this transition into a new world a smooth, and rather pleasant one. My life back home was one that required a certain level of seclusion and covertness for many years, it has been a nice change of pace to speak freely, and if I dare say, embark on friendships.

I would also ask a favour if I could. I am not - entirely alone here in Vallo. Five years ago I took into myself a part of Ultima, a god with rather nefarious designs for my world back home. I have kept him trapped for some time now, and am more than willing to continue to do so. However it is very clear to me that what is possible here may be boundless, and that a more viable solution might be had. With that, I would like to ask if anyone here has had to contain a god before, or part of one, and how it was done. I am, of course, not asking for anything to be done at this moment, or for anyone to take on this task themselves. I had just thought perhaps it time to begin gathering information, to see if there are other options at hand.

Out of hospital and things seem to be mildly chaotic around here as usual. Anyone who needs me I'll be winter prepping and restocking my seed balls in the workshop.

Also I think Chime might be molting, or something? Do dragons molt? I keep finding like thin bits of glass where she's been sitting. Watch your fingers around her, I guess is my point.

I really do hate demons especially.

Magically Minded (do you think your character would see this? then yes!)

Greetings all, I am sharing on behalf of myself and Wanda (though I would never venture to speak for her, obviously) as your magical representatives for the DOA. The Directrix of Geliara Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry has requested assistance in first, containing, and secondly, closing, a portal that opened on the grounds of the school. Apparently a conjuration class had a spell go...incorrectly and now there is a portal that they are unable to do anything with.

The second piece to that is that somethings may have escaped. The details on what, exactly, they are, are a bit sketchy, so this may take some time and energy. You can come to the DOA office and read for yourself what the Directrix sent over and if you are so inclined, we can then proceed to the school for closer examination of the portal.

Certainly no one is required to participate but if you do we will most likely have their eternal gratitude and a favor to be called upon later, ho hum, it is very good for relations, and I will purchase the Dashing Doors for lunch. And probably have wine if this goes very late.
