vallo

A heads up for those with some younger kiddos that the library is doing a few fairy tale based comedy plays over the weekend. They're at 10:00, 1:00 and 3:00 both Saturday and Sunday in their little auditorium. Snacks will be provided.

I'll be going to Saturday at 3:00 with Lucas if anyone wanted to join us.

On a more business note! The government is offering subsidies and rebates for anyone hit by the recent events and need to do repairs to business and homes. Hit me up if you would be interested and I can get someone in touch with you. If you've already done repairs they are reimbursing as well so get me your receipts and I'll get the process started for you.

We've found the location of the simulacrum. Between access to books, connections with the local covens, and feet on the ground we were able to narrow it down and then confirm its location on Surtr's Sword. We've shared our research with the defense teams so they can begin to coordinate retrieval so we're ready for the 6th.

Huge thank you to everyone who has been working tirelessly to track this down.

Some other things to note.
- We found magic dead zones deeper in the forest. Patches of area where magic isn't working anymore.
- There are theories that the Temporal Concurrence is what originally started to bring Outlanders to Vallo (not confirmed, just thought it was interesting).
- During the height of the Temporal Concurrence there's probably going to be some Big Magic being worked here. This may lead to nothing, it may end being a big pain in the ass, but it seems to be the day to try and pull of the more impressive spells if you couldn't do it normally.

How are you holding up in 2033?

EDIT: I forgot to tell everyone in 2033 that yesterday was the return of the Geese from a few years ago. The violent ones that kidnapped people. Everyone is okay, but there was chaos. And probably geese on the menu for the next several days.

ATTENTION FUCKWADS

Hello from 2033.
I know there are some anxious people on your end wondering what's been going on - everyone who decided to travel forward with Caleb and Essek have arrived safely and are now situated with us.

As you can see we are able to communicate across the timelines at the moment using the journals some of us managed to keep over the years. If you'd like to check in with your friends and family who travelled feel free to use this entry to do so.

While the journals will be usable for the next while here we are asking for everyone to refrain from spamming too much. All magic usage is a risk, this included. We are also asking that no one mentions any specifics to the plan, the journals on our end will not leave our safe zone, but should we be ambushed here we do not want any details falling into the wrong hands. As well please keep in mind our journal stock is limited and we are all sharing only a handful, your conversations may be viewed by others.

If someone can give me a quick "hey I see this" that would be great. We are fairly confident this should work but let us know for sure.



(( note: timeline wise today this will be written once everyone is back at the outpost and has had enough time to get sorted, so late afternoon/early eveningish ))

Hey folks, welcome to the shitty future you're hoping to avoid for yourselves. Thanks for coming.

When you came from, the network is for fun. Here, it's the primary communication medium for a resistance that's scrambling to survive, and it's under constant attack and held together with paperclips and hope. This means:

• Don't try to run a bunch of data across it unless you need to. Keep your comms to text as much as possible.
  
• SECURITY IS PARAMOUNT. You'll notice the passphrase requirements are stricter than on the network you came from. That's because Murderbot got hacked/enthralled and he can bruteforce your oh-so-clever "password1" in about two seconds without even having to know you'd pick a password that dumb in the first place.
  
• Smash your device to pieces before you let it fall into the hands of the enemy.
  

Well, this is a nice welcome back.

Sup, I'm Tyler. I was around a couple of times before. Back again in time for the apocalypse? Love it. I'm going to be eating my feelings at Glenn's bagel cart if anyone wants me to take pity on me and buy me some when I run out of cash because I'm broke af.

Torunn, gotta give you my two weeks. I realize I just started last week, but the apocalypse calls? Which brings me to, sorry guys, but I'm on the list. I'll stop by to see people before I head out tomorrow with the wizards.

As is my right, I wanted to be the first to say not only happy birthday, but happy first Vallo birthday, to my husband. You drive me mad at times but I can't imagine my life without you. I truly wouldn't want any other life than the one I have with you and Harry.

I love you, Jamie. Happy birthday.

Now, unless his birthday ends up as community eventful as mine, I'd like all of you to come to dinner.

Okay. Right. Three things:

1. SERIOUSLY?!?!?!
2. Bonnie? Lizzie? Everyone else I know? Who's still around?
3. How is it that I'm at the DOA for literally five minutes and Brenda was already in my space talking about her latest attempt at being her own boss????
4. SERIOUSLY?

Okay so it was four, but number one really needed to be repeated.

... Hi! So um, I've had a few weeks to adjust and sleep and figure out how to fly (!!!) now and I'm all refreshed and doing pretty good except for almost burning myself alive this mo!

I'm a vampire! AMA (Ask Me Anything)!

Hello? My name is Remus Lupin and I have recently arrived here. I was told that there were people that I knew from home here?

Moment of appreciation for my favorite person, who continues to tolerate my mediocre guitar playing skills and doesn't question it when I insist on dragging his ass out of bed early for a full day of playing into valentines day consumerism. I'm not sorry about stealing your bacon at breakfast, though.

( you're the best )

[FILTERED TO MAGIC PEOPLE & SURIT.]

Are any of you adept at dealing with the mind? I guess it would be considered magical to you. Magical minds. I just need to know how fucked I am if something goes sideways. I have a few small questions, minuscule even, but I figured one of you would be able to answer.

[ FAM & FRIENDS ]

I can't possibly thank you enough for making this day special. I truly would have been happy with a card and cake while Hell is so literally being visited upon these poor people.

OH MY GOD.

This isn't sustainable. To all those feeling soul-crushing guilt, I beg of you, let me get rid of it. I had to call out of work (fine) and couldn't even get an iced coffee (NOT FINE) without getting locked into a haze of someone's outsized self-loathing. Either get help for your trauma or stay away from me. I think my head's going to explode.

The next person to have an episode in my vicinity is getting manipulated. Trust me, it'll be more pleasant for us both.

Heroes, fix this. It's what you do. Christ.

Well then.

Some of you types more sensitive to the coming and goings of the world may have felt something a bit off this morning when you rose. Moreso than usual I would suppose. It would seem Vallo has expanded its collection of Hells to include my domain.

And before you ask, no I did not ask for or summon it here. I'm sure some of you nerds enjoy bringing your work home with you but have you seen that throne? I'm lucky not to have a flat arse after all these centuries.

Right. I would advise any of you feeling guilt over that muffin you cheated with this morning to stuff it in the bag with the discarded wrappings and dispose of the lot. Also keep an eye on dead bodies...except vampires and zombies. I think. I suppose they are fairly similar concepts to demons possessing the dead...

In other words, please do not poke the Hell if you can help it and should you need any assistance with its presence causing issue, myself or Rory would be best to ask.

[RORY]

Perhaps I should have asked before volunteering but knowing this lot and their penchant for wining, dining, and trying to mount trouble, I will need all the help I can get with someone familiar with the place.

My sense of direction has been questionable at times, but I didn't think it was possible to have landed so far off from my intended destination. Fortunately, I did not have to wander too long before I was greeted by a delightful young man who informed me of the situation I find myself in and even helped me find lodgings for the foreseeable future.

This place seems as good as any for a fresh start.

That 'Welcome to Vallo' video is even better the second time around.

((backdated to this afternoon))
