For your own mental health and the mental health of others including mine, please keep your plants out of any place where you want absolute privacy or at least out of earshot of any information you want kept secret. I know too much and they won't shut up.


FILTERED TO TALCOTT AND MATTHEW.

The plants keep asking me to ask you when you're going to have another sleepover? I'm assuming you've had more than one. And when

Hey, does anyone who knows anything about plants mind answering some questions?

If a plant that didn't useta have leaves starts growing leaves, does that like... uh.. mean something?

Well, as Katou would say, shit.

I apologise to anyone who was insulted, injured or robbed by my younger self over the last few days. I won't make excuses, since I we he didn't know any better, but if you've lost something valuable I'll do my best to get it back to you. He may well have stashed things in a few places.

If it's any consolation he's made a wreck of my clothes and my shakkan's in the worst shape it's been in in about eight years. Next time maybe someone could tell him he's a mage and not to touch any plants that have been carefully cultivated to store raw power? Not that he'd listen, but worth a shot.

okay so there's this GUY and i saw him and he has a HUGE SWORD LIKE IT'S SO BIG and idk guys with big swords definteyl have like cool MOVES and i wanna know if he's like a bad guy or a good guy or if we gotta fight him so i wanna like follow him around to see if he does anything COOL with the sword because he has to rite? so who is gonna come with me to follow him because like i don't NEED HELP but if you wanna see some cool stuff i bet this guy will do it and then we fite him or we ask if we can hold the sword

You owe me big time, Ronan Lynch Alright the Mother's Day event at the Barns is still on for Sunday even if people are still kids, so come by for breakfast and a Sunday market and to pet animals and stuff.

Hi, can you two come help Blue and me this weekend with setting up and running this thing? If the kids turn back before then it won't be that big of a deal but there's no guarantee.

Also if you turn into toddlers I'm writing you out of my will.

[THE BARNS + KATOU]

Okay. Who wants to be helpful? We've got a list of tasks for you guys if you want something to keep you busy and help out.

I need someone who's really good at folding cards.

Two who are allowed to use scissors.

Someone who isn't going to eat a glue stick.

Someone who wants to sort beads.

Any of you that want to do any taste testing.

And whatever else Blue puts on the list.

Hello, children? Any tiny children? No? No children? Great, the fucking filter worked. I've got a lot to process here; children are the antithesis of process, and fuck, you people have a lot of them.

Okay, right, introduce myself: I'm Avicenna, new person, from a crap world (like apparently a-l-l of you, holy shit) but alternate universes are also like, known so while my whelm is on the high side of 'over', I'm picking up what you're putting down, and I have about-- ten fucking MILLION questions but okay, this place is apparently "super amazing supportive and awesome" so I'll just go for this one: I don't want a free bagel (whatever that is); what I want are glasses so I can fucking see all of this weirdness. Do you guys do glasses? Free healthcare? What kind of utopia are we in exactly? Do I need to blow someone? Because I'll definitely need to see to do that right; we've got ourselves a real quagmire. I need details on your medical system and currency, thanks bye.

Also: your network is neat. I tried to break it three times and some autonomaton who called itself Deathface or whatever threatened to kill me, so, gearing up for time #4.

I awakened this morning to discover that my husband is thirteen years older and has no recollection of Vallo. Is anyone experiencing similar difficulties?

Am I the only one who thinks that the idea of registering is hella creepy?

Yeah, I'm not going to be doing that.

I know this is a breach of the "I don't know you people that well yet" contract, but I need to cosplay as a responsible adult on Friday, so pretend we're besties.

I'm having dinner Friday, somewhere relatively nice. The vibe is straddling the line between "dinner date" and "just friends doing friend things in the wake of unspeakable horrors" and I need an outfit that can pivot. Ordinarily I'd let Mercy dress me but Mercy isn't here, and I haven't had time to buy anything suitable, so. Bestie, help a girl out. Do I go with a black dress or something like top + jeans + heeled boots?

And don't fucking tell Darlington.

I am honored to report that in 2033, we have ended the threat of Interitus for all Vallo timelines. Many are injured, but we are now able to focus on healing rather than destruction.

May fortune smile upon you in 2023 at least as much as it has smiled upon us here. We travelers will see you soon.

Please use this page to check in with your friends and family as needed.

I'm going out of my fucking mind not knowing who is going to show up and half expecting certain people but also feeling like I'm not ready. Of course, I could solve the problem by just looking at or asking about the list of people but...

I'm not ready. Definitely not ready.

Who: Rogier and Sydney
When: Present-day
Where: Starcourt Mall
What: Sydney and Rogier have a low-stakes, Glamor Shots date at the mall. Rogier gets mushy. Sydney counters with a poop emoji.
Rating: PG13, some swearing (Sydney)

I'm dealing with something that I want to be up front about. I discovered I'm a Reader now. A mind reader that is. I wasn't at home but this place and its strangeness doesn't seem to care about that. I'm working on my mental shields so I don't just go stomping around inside people's heads. Our brand of reading can be especially invasive. I thought I was doing pretty good, but today was stressful at the DOA office thanks to network trouble and a broken printer and an angry local filing a complaint, so.

I slipped up. Twice. I apologized to the people whose minds I violated, but it still happened and I don't want to pretend there's no chance it'll happen again. I'm looking into farm work in case I can't lock this down fast. Please know that I have no desire to be inside anyone's mind but Tenn uninvited.

Anyway, long story short, today sucked. Kind of wish I was still in a toga learning how to shoot pool.

i'm going to say something brave, yet true: breakfast food*** is better at dinner time




*** american or whatever, despite being here in Bizarro World i'm not well-traveled. i mean shit like pancakes, waffles, bacon, omelettes, etc, you know like MURICA food

Marika protect me from students who hear "five page minimum" and take it as the bare minimum.

Twenty-two pages! On Vallo jury practices! I've only just come up for air.




What's this about Valentines Day, then?

SO, in my high school, someone once came up with one of those chocolate/carnation/candy telegrams that you probably saw in Mean Girls except for Valentine's Day instead of Christmas... probably a student union group thing. The concept was super duper cute, honestly! They could be anonymous if you wanted and the money was raised for a good cause!

Until, you know... you realized it became like this popularity contest, because the popular ones got a whole bunch of them and some of us got none or like one or two from the only two people who were your friends. Yeah, it was kind of a crappy feeling. I almost decided "what if I got everyone in this high school some candy?" But there's a kid who is an absolute douche so I decided against it for now.

HOWEVER, I did just get a crapload of chocolates on sale. The best Valentine for me this year was me!

I was waiting in line for coffee and then I just felt the need to share how much I love Prue Halliwell. I love her so much it's almost terrifying with my ability to screw up my relationships but she's amazing. Absolutely amazing.


I also love this coffee. The pixie is so grumpy but so great at what she does and it's entertaining exchanging remarks with her in the morning. I love this coffee a lot. Like goddamn it is good this morning.

Left to right we have: Thins, traditional, double stuff, mega stuff, and THE MOST STUFF.

Also, I really need some brave souls to try all of the following with me:

( Lots more pictures of questionable food. )


Not all together! Probably. :)))))))))))))))

I'm kidding!

Unless.

Also I know that the upcoming holiday is one that people have mixed feelings about, and that's okay! No one should tell you how to feel about anything, you're entitled to your feelings. Mostly I think that more love in the world is never a bad thing, whether that's romantic love, family love, friend love, or even self-love! And sometimes the last thing is the hardest one to do, so if that's the journey you're on, A++++ job you, I'm so proud of you!

But don't forget that books make AMAZING gifts for the special someone in your life (family, friend, significant other/s, or yourself!) and now that I've worked at both sides of the store I can recommend all kinds of books! Chastity's Nook was definitely more of a learning experience than the Enchanted one, but at the end of the day I think good for the centaurs, everyone deserves love!

Your onboarding is efficient, I’ll give you that.  Government red tape at home would’ve had me sitting in a waiting room and filling out forms for at least three days. And the apartment is, well. No offense, but it’s kind of ridiculous. I’ve spent months on entire spaceships smaller than that apartment. Your budget probably needs a massive overhau

Anyway. Uh I’ve never been very good at social media Thank you. For explaining the situation and telling me where to find Tennal Halkana. A few more days and he’d probably have charmed his way to the head of a gang or been exiled into the woods and tracking him down would’ve been a lot harder. I’m better at catching farm animals than people.

Oh. My name’s is Surit.  So. Yeah. Hello.

Lights, you have a massive city with some mid-level tech and you still managed to ground everyone. Not even a little space travel. What do any of you even do for fun when you're stuck here?
