I have a very important announcement, everyone. As of last night, one Catra Applesauce Rainbowfist-Meowmeow (yes, that is her full, official name) has decided that she... wants to have a birthday party this year.



(I know, I was also shocked.)

In order to make my beautiful wife's dream come true, I'm going to book a room at Level Up Lounge in the city for Friday, October 27th. They've got a big room that holds fifty, so I think I'm going to grab that one because we know how weird Vallo likes to get in October. I'm looking into either a buffet set-up or catering, but there will definitely be food and lots of cake. They have plenty of kid-friendly games so bring your little ones!

Let me know if you're planning to join us!

Posted about 5 minutes after the library fight is over.

So by now ah- most of you are aware we had a situation at the Library. We still don't have all of the details - I don't know if we ever will, but what we do know is this:

  • Ashurbanipal, King of Assyria, approached the library this morning, and challenged King Noctis in an attempt to rule Vallo? Unaware that Noctis is not the King of Vallo.
  • He threatened Nancy, and the Library wards went defensive, one of the skeletons was killed in the mess, and the King took that as a challenge.
  • The library went into lockdown mode, and there was a fight. I do believe they underestimated a whole group of librarians.
  • Nancy was able to knock the amulet off of the King's neck, and that was when the skeletons all disappeared? We have it now, but the amulet is damaged, and the king is gone. I put it in a protected vault for the moment but we'd feel more comfortable if one of the covens takes it, so we're going to reach out to them later for that.
  • We do have some casualties and people are being taken to the clinic now, but I don't think anything was fatal. Mike, Darlington took Nancy there just a few minutes ago and you may want to visit.
  • Full disclosure that I am also on my way there now, but I was told by triage that it "should be an easy heal". I didn't even realize I just had a

    If anyone has any other information to share, we'd love to hear it at the library, since we'll be documenting this in its entirety.

    In war, I'd prefer a dishonest man to a man who was unreliably honest. Predictability goes a long way in tactics: you can't control the players, but you could rely on what you believe them most likely to do in the situation they're in. Which is one reason why Vallo is so maddening to me: the arrivals and departures don't make sense. They aren't predictable. No amount of logic, big brain, cunning or forethought can predict what will happen in the day-to-day, which makes for lousy endings. Heartbreak. Broken relationships. But Vallo gives you just enough to keep you hopeful. Because for some, there is hope. The waiting, the not knowing - it makes everything sharper. Brighter.

    Which is all to say: I was gone for four months, taken to some strange world where I worked in a bar called the Mos Eisley Cantina. Luckily, I was the prettiest one there (save Earl, Earl had these gorgeous magenta fronds you would not believe), and I learned how to fly a spaceship and things were mostly fine, save how very much I missed the lot of you. And then one day, right when I was beginning to think I might never make my way back, I came back to this place just in time to see more departures.

    See? Maddening.




    But I am very glad to be back.

    You know, Vallo, you're doing a great job of pushing me into having a damn villain era.

    I know its frowned on to drink at work but I will give pretty much anything you can think of if someone will bring me a bottle of something. Because it is way too early in the week for this much chatting.

    I hate to ask but can anyone take Willa for a few days?

    Fixing the flood damage found other issues and there was a small collapse of roof. I'd just feel better her not being here until I checked the rest of the place over.

    Because I had absolutely no signal on our honeymoon (it was planned that way) I just want to say thank you to everyone who made it to our wedding last Saturday. You all looked fabulous by staying on theme. Now that we've been back for a little over 24-hours-ish, I have pictures. You're all stuck having to look at them because my husband (I know I said I would never be this person, but marriage changes you and I am a changed woman) looked good.

    This is an OOC cut. )

    I'm still managing the rest of the week off from Nino's so don't come looking for me there if you want pizza or good customer service. Nothing exploded while we were gone? I feel like I would have sixth-sensed it from our getaway, but worth asking anyway.

    Okay. So funny story. I found an injured? basilisk in the forest, and I was helping it and making it a friend, when it's mate came up behind me and hey it's a good thing I have really good reflexes cause I dodged at the last minute and managed to mitigate some of it! It wasn't even that bad, just on my side.


    But then I started turning uh to stone? So for the last hour I've been in the forest kind of stuck here because I figured Fen would come looking for me and I didn't want to admit this to Lance but then another wolf came up? Not one of mine! He's friendly and helped me get my phone out of the not-stoned pocket with my free hand and I think he's looking for his friend? He says his name is Torgal.

    Don't tell dad about this post please.

    Not only does Vallo decide to be a dick and send Rory home, but this morning skeletons got into Hell and decided to try and steal some books. Thankfully Maze caught them and now has a tasty treat, but wtf is going on?

    First day of school, and we've got a bunch of skeletons just chilling on the school lawn. And I don't mean plastic "somebody got excited about Halloween early" skeletons. I mean actual bone skeletons that were walking around like they own the place. Carrie in my literature class said one of them asked her if she had any "tomes of power and might." (Apparently her math book doesn't count.)

    So, thanks for making the first day of junior year good and weird, Vallo. Now I can think about how the hell skeletons are capable of talking instead of listening to anybody drone on about the syllabus.

    Added Slightly Later:
    Also, say I wanted to dampen sound around my lunch table at school so it's not so loud that we have to shout our whole conversation. Are there magic items that could do that? And if they do exist, how much would it probably cost to get one? (Specifically, could someone with "part time at the gaming store" money afford a Bubble of Quiet or whatever?)

    Hey Outlanders. Are we sticking with our lunch table from last year, or are we trying for one of the ones up by the windows?

    Okay, I am pretty sure there are not many people in the world as ecstatic and motivated about schoolwork than I am -- I mean I can list some people here but that's also why they're one of my closest friends -- and normally, if I'm giving extra coursework and I know it'll give me more credit than I would otherwise get, I would be all for it.

    But seriously, who decides they're going to email all their students before the classes have even begun and the summer vacations have even ended to let us know about any required reading to start before the first day of class? And to strongly suggest we get started on researching term papers?? I was supposed to be looking forward to Media Law And Ethics class, damn.

    Smiley day folks! You know, as we're coming into a season of transition and change, we can focus on change in ourselves! What do we need to change, mentally, or emotionally, or physically? Maybe the first step is talking to someone unbiased! In that case, you can just swing on by the clinic to discuss all of your goals and changes you want to make, and we can create a plan that works for you. Some folks might not have ever seen a health practitioner, or a therapist, and that's okay! It's never too late, and if you have questions about the process, I'm happy to be a guide. We operate confidentially too, you know, asking for help is the first step of what might be a long journey, but you just ask some of my traveling companions, I'm real good at rolling right alongside you and holding things.

    Not that there's anything wrong with you all, you have souls that just shine. But just in case!!

    Now here's a question for some personal reflection, or you can share the answer and we can all feel a little more connected! What is one talent you've always wanted to have but just can't master yet? Me, it's dancing. It's a little difficult when you operate on one wheel! I got the front to back, side to side, and circular motion down, but the rest is, um, a challenge. Maybe once I master stairs.

    Good morning, Outlanders. Well done, yesterday. It's always encouraging to see what can be accomplished by this group of talented folks when we put our minds to it.

    That said, recovering from the last handful of days will be a process. If you need aid in clearing out your residence or business or whatever else, please don't hesitate to reach out to the DOA. We've got connections that we can hook you up with to get added support, either magical or not. Hopefully clean up efforts will go quick and smoothly, so life can go back to some shade of pre-kraken normal.

    And, of course, if you have magic or skills that might lend to help in those efforts and are willing to lend them to this cause, we'd love to hear from you and get you in touch with the right people.

    Though I personally will not be in the office today, because I'm listening to people who know more about medical things than me and will be resting in bed, like I promised--so don't yell at me, those people in particular.

    Ok look I'm in waders right now but I still need to fucking say this or I'll forget until the night before and Parrish will be bitchy with me. Gansey and Sargent engagement party, this friday night, at the great library. Technically it's a birthday party for the runt too so like, give her a noogie or something. There will be two cakes, so nobody give me any shit.

    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?

    Defense Team training tomorrow, just in case anyone is going to pretend they didn't see my texts last week. For the newbies, we try to do these once a quarter and they're generally themed to fit the season, so dress for hot weather and being out on the water. If you're bothered by the ocean or swimming at all, send me a private message and we can talk about it. We're not looking to traumatize anyone. This is for team building and a bit of fun tension relief. This job can be draining and we need everyone at their best.

    Oh and we'll feed you, so don't worry about bringing anything but sunscreen. Well, that and a good attitude. I'm not saying you can't complain, but I am saying it's annoying. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
    [FILTERED TO KOGANES]
    Hey, Tex, are you good with watching Kipp tomorrow for defense training? We can bring him with us. It'll be tricky, but we can make it work. Or you're welcome to bring him out with you so you can watch us make idiots out of ourselves. It's usually a fun time.

    I require dish ideas for zucchini, particularly those that hide it enough that a young kenku might not realize they are an ingredient.

    I will also accept people willing to take some zucchini themselves.

    Happy birthday, Lance. Even if you lock me in jail cells, you're still pretty cool.

    Bonfire on Lance's tropical island (because Vallo clearly has favorites) this evening to celebrate. Everyone's welcome but you have to smash a bit of cake in Lance's face if you show up.

    Sorry, that's the rules. 🤷🏻

    You know what's exhausting, exhilarating, challenging, anxiety-inducing, AND the cutest thing in the entire world all at once, somehow?

    Wrangling fourteen preschoolers and toddlers who want to color all over your nice, clean spaceship, and you were the dummy who didn't think to put down sheets or tarps to catch the mess. And then feeding them lunch on top of it, only making the mess bigger.

    On the positive side, everyone had a blast! We now have a dozen abstract art pieces of Finn and Catra to hang on our living room walls, and I get to clean up remnants of finger paint, markers, and strawberry jelly. Which wouldn't usually be a positive, but I like cleaning.

    Hope everyone else has an awesome Tuesday!
