Have you ever suddenly wondered about someone you grew up with that you haven’t seen or spoken to in years?

Earlier today I randomly thought about this girl I grew up with in foster care. She was kind of shy, but she had one of the most infectious laughs I’ve ever heard in my life. It was really loud too. Like you could hear it all the way across the house. And she would laugh at almost anything. The other kids and I used to play a game to see who could get her to laugh first or the loudest.

I haven’t seen her in about ten years, but I thought of her today and I don’t know why. I wonder if she’s doing alright and if she still laughs at everything.

So I have been here a couple of days now, and I'm in need of recommendations: where's the good clubs going on? I need some relaxation.

» The petrification recovery process is quite quick, if a little unpleasant.
» But I should be fine in the bed for a bit, so do not worry about rushing back.
» However there is but a small minuscule thing.

» I do believe we're currently being robbed.
» Unless you've decided to break a window to get inside the train instead of the door. I will not judge.

FILTERED TO CHAOS CREW.

I had a change of heart recently and thought burning my brother's journals, literally, which have been burning a hole in my mind, figuratively, would help with the intense desire I have felt to read them as of late. But it is raining and burning a book inside the train seems ill-advised given children. I'm taking the rain as a sign that I should wait on the burning.

And I have moved them to a child-proof location in Evie's quarters in case Graciela decides to start teething on one.

Right. So I know everyone probably says "I need to go back" because who wouldn't, right? But here's the thing... I really need to get back. Like really really. So on the off chance someone's just been, you know, holding out on the whole getting out of this universe thing now's the time to speak up.

Please?

PSA: make sure you know the person you're handing off your kid to because Finn was taken by a total goddamn stranger in a copy of Teela's meatskin. Was it only a ten-minute kidnapping? Sure, but who gives a shit. Longest ten minutes of our lives, and Finn's fine, and I am waffling back and forth between 'it could have been worse!!!' and unfiltered RAGE and wanting to shred someone's face into ribbons. MY CLAWS ARE FRESHLY SHARPENED.




Anyway.

I'm not emotionally qualified to handle any of this without attempted murder but Real Teela and Adam talked to the culprit. It was some sad shapeshifting old lady. Some kind of authority, please go get her before I choose violence.

Hey so, friendly (if you want the not-friendly version you have to pay extra) reminder that there's a Death Club (clever, right?) at the DOA building every other Wednesday evening. Dead? Dying? Previously dead? Resurrected? Dead at home? Surrounded by a ton of people who have died? Need somewhere to just... vent or talk or listen about death? Come on by.

We don't judge or make you fill out some long questionnaire to prove you're "dead enough" or whatever. It's a fairly chill group where people talk about their experiences, listen to others, offer advice and help, and a path forward to figure out how to get out of that stupid slog that comes after. Outlanders and Natives are both welcome, you'd be surprised how many Natives have been yanked back to life with the amount of necromancers running around. The survivor guilt/"why me"/"what the fuck" combo is pretty universal.

And there's free coffee and pastries.

*Disclaimer: I am not a therapist or doctor and I'm not going to pretend otherwise, but we have one on hand for meetings if you need some one-on-one time or something with a bit more structure.

LILA
YO. I've been thinking that we should set up a standing jam session. I mean, as standing as it can be with Vallo doing what Vallo does. We have some leads on other people interested in the band, so we could get them in, too, see how they vibe. As much as I enjoy peddling smutty books, I need more music in my life here.

KATOU, ROZ, AURORA + LILA (added Saturday morning)
Lila and I have been talking about getting a band going and I remember talking to you all when I was here before I blipped for awhile. Do you all still want to jam? We've got Lila on drums, and I'm on bass + vocals, so we need one or two guitarists, someone on keys, and more vocals.

How many drunk ~incredibly powerful~ magic users does it take to teleport home?

(more than three apparently)




And thank you to everyone that came to prom! This commo commm community never fails to impress me with the support and just know that the kids appree appreciate you just as much as I do. I'm incredibly grateful.

Also I hope you all took food because duck fuck me there was so much of it.

You guys!!!! Big news!!! FINN'S HERE FINALLY. They were born at 3:29 in the morning on June 8th, and they are so little and cute. Sword for scale!

( OOC Note: Fanart of baby Finn and the Sword of Protection below; please assume it looks like a more realistic photo! )

Look at that swaddling expertise. I knew all my practice would pay off.

Anyway, Finn's fine, Catra's fine, everyone's healthy and okay, especially after we all got some sleep. We'll probably start having visitors in a few days! I'm still textable, but for now, if you need anything, Adam and Teela will be helping out around Darla.

Love you all!

Random thoughts on a Tuesday night. Leave a comment here if you'd have any interest in bringing Roller Derby to Vallo. Either playing or spectating. The idea got stuck in my head earlier, and want to see what the public opinion is before I spend any more time thinking about it.

What is a bagel?

As if being a teenager again wasn't bad enough.

Where the fuck did all these crop tops come from? Did teenage me buy them??? Why do they all looks so fam

Fight Club is always a good time and I look forward to it every month, but it's probably not too wild of me to say that last night was especially good. I'm hoping that it'll mean I get to add a few sparring partners to my list of go-tos and for future rematches to look forward to.

Also, more drinking buddies, please? Seems to come with the territory.

GILMORE

Hi, Mr. Gilmore. Would you have time this week for me to come in about having something enchanted? I know that I could just drop by the shop, but I want to respect your time and check first.

YOUTHS FILTER [AKA AGES 16-22]

Look, I know a lot of us aren't supposed to be this age normally but we are and we're here for fuck knows how long so I think we need to have some kind of get together. A party, as it were.

Thing is, I have plenty of money for things like food and drinks and shit, but I don't really have a place. I'd say at the place I've been staying, but there's an old as all hells gnome, an anxious bard that probably needs a fucking nap, a literally tiny child, and FCG and while most of them are fine, they still kind of, you know, cramp some style.

So: party tonight, I can make sure there's drink and all that, but anyone have a suggestion on the where? Don't know how long we'll all be here so might as well fucking enjoy it while we can.

OLD AF GNOME, BLUE BARD-IN-CHARGE, & FCG

I have plans tonight.

This is me showing some fucking growth and not just disappearing so I think that means you're supposed to show you trust me by not following me around.

Announcement:

Morgan has regressed into his youth as a mimic. For those of you who missed Dorsey’s second cannibalism party, a mimic is a gnarly little shit that can turn into different inanimate objects - hence the name - and is dangerous, cunning, and vicious.

I currently have him trapped in the bathroom but what I need is a small container. Like a mason jar, but badass.

Do NOT hurt him. He’s just like one of your brats. He doesn’t know any better.

Also don’t let him reproduce in your face. My emotional needs are met by one Morgan.

I am in need of two things:

1) To be returned swiftly to Syngorn before I get in so much trouble my father sends someone to maybe murder me or, worse, bring me back for a lecture retrieve me as soon as he notices my absence which might be never but maybe this time he'll.

2) For someone to come collect their children so they'll stop following me around giving me Looks.

Wait, no, three things--

3) To find my brother, Vax'ildan. He's going to be so worried

P.S. I'm keeping this bow and the pastries I found because Father would never I can.
