Hey, it's Halloween next week and apparently I've made it my mission in this place to throw parties as we've done some pretty good Halloween parties at the Keep so guess what: doing it again.

So, details:

Halloween, starting at 7PM (Yes, I know it's a Thursday. Drink responsibly or don't, I'm not your dad and it's your Friday hangover.)
Greyskull Keep
Come in costume or I'll give you shit

PS: This is not associated with the Youth Center (off the hook, Storm) so I don't have to be professional.

GILMORE & VEX

Hey guess what, I'm going to throw a party if you want to help.

COME GET LIT WITH ME. Ankou bonfire party at the beach tonight has MOONBATHING. FIRE (lit, get it?). ALCOHOL (lit, get it??). LIVE MUSIC. DANCING. ROAST MEAT. MORE DANCING. MORE ALCOHOL. GET YOUR BONES READ.


Oh also I made special cookies AND brownies so hmu if you really want to have some fun.

Right so. The club entrance is currently filling up with bloody snow so either dig your way in or leave me to drink alone in peace. I'm still recovering from the damned heat. (Should we be worried about these extremes? Anyone hear anything about a weather curse or a witch or a lost cursed amulet that once belonged to a witch?)

I need a baby translator because Gracie screams 'boobah', 'boobah', and 'boobah' which you would think would be the same word but fucking surprise it's three different pronunciations and she stares at me like I should know what each of them mean.

And yes, I have tried holding shit up when she says it to see what she reaches for. Fucking. Nothing.

This has been fucking Things No One Tells You When You Become a Parent so you're all damn welcome.

Chaos Crew minus Lila

Give me your best proposal ideas.

Also as my friends you have a responsibility to tell me if Lila's going to propose and try to interfere so I can do it first.

Yes I know how that fucking sounds, but this is one of our delightful quirks as a couple, shut up.

My entire firehouse has decided they're chocobo racing shirtless today. Enjoy.

[FILTERED TO THE UNDERGROUND & FRIENDS]

Thinking about building an outdoor ring while the weather is nice. If you have an suggestions on where, feel free to throw them my way. So far I'm thinking down by the harbor, near the quarry, or just right on the beach. The sand might make everyone cranky, though.

If you died and were made into a ghost after, without your previous consent, would you want to move on and stop being a ghost if that option were available?

I'm here to advertise.

In case you haven't seen, we're hoping lightning will strike twice after last year's success with our adult prom fundraiser at the Youth Center and we're going for it once more. I still only half understand school dances and prom things, but it's an event that means I get to see my better half somehow even more glorious and dapper than usual, so it's a win-win-win, I guess.

Anyway, theme this time around is Casino Nights, so if you are free on May 11, 18+ and a high school grad, and want to dress fancy and gamble, think about having fun for a good cause. The last casino I was in was in Marquet and some of my party got kicked out, so maybe let's try to be less raucous than I guess Keyleth managed to be. We were young.

You can get tickets ahead of time at the Youth Center or for a bit more at the door, but that will give you food and an open bar. (Open bar might not lend well to the "less raucous" thing, in retrospect. Too late now.) It'll be taking place at the Rutherford Hotel again and there's a discounted rate for attendees, if you want to make a weekend of it.

Hope to see you there.

So we all agree, we're kicking this guy's ass once he's found, right? Like this isn't one of those 'no, Diego, diplomacy is so great you can't solve everything by stabbing it!!!!' things?

Time to take the gremlin to get a flower crown in her hair and to touch grass or whatnot. Anyone else headed for the festival? Someone tell me there are giant mugs of witch ale or something. What about those massive pretzels that you need to eat with two hands? Apparently I'm in the mood for oversized refreshments today, don't judge me.

On a related note, should we be keeping an eye on the local covens whilst we're waiting for this legal business to get sorted? Just wondering if I need to be more armed than usual for this little outing.

Things I've learned this past week:

1. There's a reason that Vex was always the one that took the lead in the woods and why I took the lead when we were in cities. Nature is grand and beautiful, but fucking hell I was not made for it and never will be made for it, at least not for extended periods. Velora is already asking about a weekend camping trip and I can't tell if she's giving me a hard time or actually wants to go.

2. Squirrels are total gossips. Genuinely, I feel the need to check in with the ones that live around the house, just to see what is going on.

3. My bear of a nephew is a pretty good thief, if he's stealing from you while you're exhausted from walking around a forest that wants to kill you at every turn.

4. Despite roughing it in a mountain, my fiance was still as radiant as ever, which I think should come to no one's surprise. I did not fare as well and I swear that I am still picking twigs and leaves out of my hair.

5. Can we be done now? This is not a lesson learned, just a plea.

SHAUN

Also I'm sorry I tried to rescue you when I said that I wouldn't.

I know we hate these fucking portals, but there better be one because there is not a chance in the hells that both my fiance and sister disappeared right in front of me and it can't be fixed.

No place better to start a list.

I've thought it over a good deal since yesterday and now I want a chocobo.

Oh well this is fun! Wonder how long I can keep this up. If anyone needs me, I'll be doing naked push ups.

[FILTERED TO CHAOS CREW]

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.

Apparently it was Vax's birthday earlier when shit was going down so fine, he can have a redo I guess. Tomorrow night. I personally think we should start at that place with the singing and the costumes because he hates it so much and it makes me laugh, but whatever. We'll probably go to a few other places too, so if you're around, say hello and buy the idiot a drink.

And yes, Gracie will be with us for some of it, don't bother saying anything because Lila and I don't give a shit and Gracie's walking now so she'll probably bite your leg and you'd deserve it.

The old cypress has never refused the axe. There is simply no one who could carry it away if it were felled.

We must analyze this loss and determine how we will prevent it from happening again. How can we increase security? How can we increase our knowledge of rebel activities? How can we crush them completely and prevent them from even attempting such an attack?

Those of you who conduct research upon the Echoes: is there anything the rest of us may do to help you reach a solution more quickly?

I just went to keep an eye on the portal and caught the tail end of what looked like new arrivals being taken in by the rebels. A big mess of them, not just the usual trickle of one or two.

I didn't see them come through the portal specifically, but 1+1=2 and all that.

BILLY

Are you sitting?

Did anyone else feel that?
