Hey out there, Network People. I heard I should introduce myself here. I'm Liam, I've been here about a week, and I haven't posted because - technology, that's new. But I think I've got the hang of it now, and Violet says you guys like pictures of cool things, so here's one.



I don't usually get to paint them, but you guys have craft stores that are pretty awesome. I spent almost all of my DOA stipend there, so that probably means it's time I get a job. Who's got good work recommendations for a dragon-less dragon rider?

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.

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:

Totes recommend farm animals as therapy, it's good stuff. :)))))))))))))))) (talking to someone is important too!!!)

It's Adaine's birthday!! And my SUPER amazing and co-worker and all around GREAT friend requested ice cream for it, so it's time for a very low-key but still celebratory but also low stress and not making too much of a big deal but a big enough deal because birthdays are important but again like, as long as everyone is having fun ice cream crawl! Please join us for as much as you want tonight at the following locations in order:

--Creameri (here I recommend the hot fudge sundae, no cherries, extra whipped cream)
--Honeice (they're vegan but they're SO nice, you guys and it's pretty good!! I get the sorbet and that is top notch and it's real fruit so Gansey doesn't make a face at me for the day)
--Scooplicity (you pick your own add-ins and they mix it in front of you, mine is usually brownies, Sour Patch Kids, and Golden Oreos with cheesecake ice cream)
--Frost and Fizz (root beer floats are the BEST but don't sleep on the orange or grape soda or the ginger ale!!!)
--Gelato Glitz (true story the owner is related to the pixie who owns the coffee shop which is very cool and there's literally edible glitter in EVERYTHING, sometimes they'll add in extra effects too, my Pop Rocks scoop had sparkles flying around it it was super cool)
--Barsar's (ask him about his bocce ball league, also, get the homemade waffle cone)

It's a LOT of ice cream so prepare yourself!

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.

Wild Vallo

Darlings, we spotted the portal creature in that meadow on the southeastern side, closish to the pond. It was resting, poor thing, but didn't stay that way all that long before an arboreal animosity made a most auspicious entrance and it flew off.

Does anyone have eyes on it?

WILD FOLKS ONLY

So, what do you all think?

Meet CRASH. She's helping me feed chickens. And no I didn't dream this one. Chainsaw rescued her.

Anybody need any new tattoos? I'll give you a good deal if your shit isn't lame.

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?

Okay so I was going to say something about dirt cake Oreos but instead I think it's more important to say that I saw that portal beast in the city?? It wasn't doing anything but I think it was scared worried afraid confused? Like it didn't know where it was? Or maybe it was the noise?

I think it's sad and I think I want to hug it


Oh wait hold on, it disappeared now? Like it--disappeared and came back and disappeared and came back and then I think it went through another portal? I can't tell if there's anything left behind. I don't think there is?


(also in case anyone IS wondering about the dirt cake Oreos, they're pretty good but the sprinkles are really hard to see and have no flavor so they're just there as a gummy worm homage, and there's dual creme which is nice even if I think crushed up Oreos in Oreo creme is a little like eating a chicken omelet lololololol look they're delicious because I love Oreos BUT maybe not the most clever)

I have a sword now. A magical sword, so that's a thing and I'm not sure what to think about it. Also, it was sticking out of my coffee table Sword-in-The-Stone style. I've already pulled it out and no one crowned me the king of anything. (I need a new coffee table).

FILTERED TO ELI GRIMSBANE
Can I talk to you?

FILTERED TO LXC
I would like to learn how to actually use this sword. Would you be willing to teach me?

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?

[FILTERED TO RESCUE TEAM]

Hello. Does anyone know anything about slime specimens? I was talking to Dr. Bellner tonight and he had one on the ship, but it went missing. He said it was under control but I don't believe him.

Kit seems to think that's a bad omen, a slime specimen going missing on a spaceship. I think we should keep an eye on the labs if we can.

Has anyone been able to establish communications back home? I'd like to check in with my brother when we can.
