What I've discovered this week is that some of you need to be complimented more often. I'd apologize but I'm not actually that sorry.

FILTERED TO EDWIN:

How are you feeling?

Things I've learned this past week:

1. There's a reason that Vex was always the one that took the lead in the woods and why I took the lead when we were in cities. Nature is grand and beautiful, but fucking hell I was not made for it and never will be made for it, at least not for extended periods. Velora is already asking about a weekend camping trip and I can't tell if she's giving me a hard time or actually wants to go.

2. Squirrels are total gossips. Genuinely, I feel the need to check in with the ones that live around the house, just to see what is going on.

3. My bear of a nephew is a pretty good thief, if he's stealing from you while you're exhausted from walking around a forest that wants to kill you at every turn.

4. Despite roughing it in a mountain, my fiance was still as radiant as ever, which I think should come to no one's surprise. I did not fare as well and I swear that I am still picking twigs and leaves out of my hair.

5. Can we be done now? This is not a lesson learned, just a plea.

SHAUN

Also I'm sorry I tried to rescue you when I said that I wouldn't.

Did anyone else make it through? Is anyone else in the middle of the forest? There's a group of us here, but we're still trying to figure out where exactly we are.

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.

No place better to start a list.

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?
[/filter]

Which one of you fucked with my ship? I put actual fucking wires in this thing and somebody comes along and cuts them? Bullshit. Should've made it run on pure vibes. Parrish, I'm gonna need some help. And before you ask, no, there isn't an owner's manual, smartass.


Also what the fuck is up with all the trash? Is somebody on strike?

Hey there, newcomers--and also not-newcomers, since I've been told everyone should be connected onto our networks now. Obviously let us know if that's not the case--well, I guess you wouldn't be seeing this if it wasn't, so. Let us know if it is and that's one thing done.

Anyway, I'm Orym and it really is nice to see some new faces, even if it's from strange circumstances. (I say that as though arriving via tree onto a space station is normal, but after a few years it really is.)

If there's anything you need or have questions about, let us know.

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.

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.

So it's mostly one big fucking blur but I got the gist Market's just straight up free this week. Come get what you want or message me to get it delivered.

[FILTERED TO GANGSEY]

We need to talk about all the best ways to shut me down fast. Gansey, you remember everything over there, right? You can tell them what worked and what didn't? Adam knows all my weak spots. The wonky knee, shit like that. Matthew, for fuck's sake could you just promise me you'll really think about leaving me in the dust instead of sticking around to suffer? I'd appreciate it.

And hey. Fuck I love you guys. Sorry I get fucking awful when I'm alone.

Um hey. I probably should have said this yesterday, but I just kind of woke up and I'm doing this quick before I get my phone confiscated.

Anyone else notice the big creature come out of the portal? It was kind of near the end and I might have been bleeding everywhere distracted, but I swear it looked like the one that created it in the first place.

And I hope everyone's doing okay. Yesterday was a lot.

Ronan

I TOLD you to rest
What happens next time when you



Ronan, you scare me

Are you okay?



Adam

Hi.

I don't know if you saw, but, there was a mission yesterday to rescue our people who had been captured. Gansey's okay, I didn't get to see him a lot during it but I think he has some bumps and bruises.

Ronan was hurt more. It was pretty chaotic but I think he was limping when I saw him.

I figured you'd want to know, and if you could pass it along?

[FILTERED TO VALLO PRIME, FLIPPED REBELS (THAT INCLUDES YOU ELI), & RESCUERS]

Testing, testing. Are you getting this? We're using my connection to the Black Lion and the quintessence tech in my arm to form a bridge between the networks. Basically, we're playing telephone through a giant sentient spaceship. Stop by and thank him for me? I'm sure he's stressed by all of this.

Anyway, assuming someone is reading this, on the other side of the portal is a parallel Vallo. We've made contact with a group of Outlanders here and confirmed that they are alternate versions of some of our lost people. Most of them have lived here for years and some have different memories of their home worlds. They've formed a rebellion against another group, made up of more of our lost people. They call themselves the Court of Revenants and they're the reason this message is filtered as best as I can get it.

Please be aware that Council members might look like someone you've lost, but they have apparently taken control of this Vallo through force and terror. There is a stalemate between the Council and the Rebels because any physical violence here creates what they call Echoes - spectral enemies that attack anyone close by and only stop when the fighting stops.

Now I'm sure you're wondering where our Outlanders are. I've been told the people here suffered a violent headache and a flash of memories that then faded when the portal opened on this side. It can't be a coincidence. I suspect our people are tangled up metaphysically with their counterparts. I have no idea how to separate them. If you have any theories, please don't be shy.

As for the rescue team, everyone is accounted for and safe. Our focus right now is planning a recovery mission. A few rebels were taken captive just before we arrived. Keith is We will get them back. In the meantime, please feel free to use this post to brainstorm and reconnect. Since I know it'll be a question on your minds, here is the list of the captured:

• Ashton Greymoore
• Dorian Storm
• Keith Kogane
• Luffy
• Nancy Wheeler
• Noctis Lucis Caelum

And a list of the Council and their allies:

• Caleb Widogast
• William Laurence
• Henry Townshend
• Kellach Donnallen
• Ostyia Rabalska
• Teddy Kaplan-Altman
• Billy Kaplan
• Abigail Blyg
• Lan Xichen
• Lee Thompkins
• Joshua Rosfield
• Julian Blackthorn
• Ronan Lynch
• Serefin Meleski
• Silas

Anyone not on either of these lists should be able to see and respond to this post. Okay, enough rambling. Time to see if this actually works.

[ooc note: posted right after portal appears/disappearances happen]

Um uh

Hey, anyone else in the city see that? I'm at the bookstore and was talking to Caleb and saw what looked like some massive creature just disappear through a portal, I think? It's hard to see through the buildings, but there's something going on and--



And is anyone else suddenly missing?? Because Caleb and Frumpkin were right here and now they're both gone.



ETA: People are missing with no list, but I figure someone will want to have one to keep track? So I'll add to this as people make mention.
