Whatever your plans are for tomorrow, cancel them. I need you all to sing happy birthday to a toddler and watch her stuff cake in her face. There will be dinner in it for you! Probably just pizza but still.
Also if someone could just smack me so I stop spiraling about how fast time goes, that would be grand. Cheers.
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 isWe will get them back.

One of the items I won at the auction was a group dinner for 8 at the Crossed Quills, for all of us. Should we try and plan for something next weekend for Vax'ildan's birthday?
Unless Diego has designs on throwing a gigantic birthday bash for his best mate, that is.

I'm assuming that normal alcohol does nothing for you?
It's obviously coming up on winter holidays and I'll admit that I'm having some mixed feelings about them because it's going to be my first time experiencing them without my sister, so I was hoping to put something together to distract, but still enjoy them. This is both for myself, but also for Velora, since I know it's probably hard for her, too.
Winter's Crest falls on the last month of the year on the 20th, so I thought to just continue that trend and get together that evening for a bit. Maybe at Greyskull to actually use it? It feels right to be in an Exandrian place on an Exandrian holiday. Just bring a dish to pass for that kind of dinner, joke/funny gifts for a random exchange? That sort of thing.
Anyway, if you're free, consider yourself invited: December 20th, Greyskull Keep, food and friends and goofy gifts. (I couldn't think of a proper word that started with F to keep that alliteration going, forgive me.)

Look, I'm not going to ring again but it's taking everything I have so please send proof of life and tell me everything she does, the moment she does it. Cheers.
