Vas Captio Journals

[Derek]

Stiles is here but I want to stay living with you and Cora. I know you don't want him here, so I'll just go visit him sometimes and not bring him back here.

[Stiles]

You okay?

[/UNFILTERED]

Anyone want some rabbit? I went hunting and found a nest of little ones. There's not much meat to them but they're really tender.

You know, whatever's going on around here right here, it's awesome.

It's about time people actually say what's on their minds.

Do we have anybody who went missing tonight at the black out? Everyone that I live with seems to be where they're supposed to.

I'm tired of making the lists of people that are here. I would like somebody else to actually do that for a couple of weeks because my wrist hurts. My mother told me that I was going to get carpal tunnel from typing and working on computers, but if anything the amount that I write in this damn journal is going to give it to me first.

That's the reason that I haven't been doing it, that plus the fact that sometimes other things are pretty distracting and amp up my anxiety levels higher than I, or other people it would seem, like. I need to relax, I even want to, but in a hell like this it isn't exactly easy, you know. Derek sometimes helps.

I appreciate you Derek.

Well, I'm freaking glad that's over.

I was an annoying kid.

~MT

Still alive with the kid? And still paranoid and refusing to actually listen to much of anything?

-Cora

Malia.
Hi.

Are you and Derek okay?

-Cora

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

My name is Malia and I'm from CALIFORNIA!!!!!!! I love California because they have oranges and oceans and earthquakes and earthquake drills are FUN.

My mommy's name is Sarah and my daddy is Henry and I have a little bitty sister named Becky who I love SO MUCH OMG. Even if she is a TOTAL BRAT sometimes.

Can I go home now?

This is so stupid, this is never gonna work.

Uncle Peter, if this is your idea of a joke, a) it's literally the most messed up thing you've ever done and b) it's not funny, what'd you do, kidnap some unsuspecting kid from the playground just to freak me out? I'm not laughing. And neither is this poor kid, what the hell is wrong with you? Where are we, even? I'm gonna be late for practice, you jerk. I'm telling Mom Come pick me up and take this kid back where she belongs.

-Der

Where am I?

Mommy? Daddy? Becky?

You guys are all a bunch of wimps.

It's just dark. So what.

Hey. I need a couple people for a project, if you're all willing.

There's talk of bonfires and communal safety and I think in general it's a good idea if we set one up in the town center. Kenzi and I were throwing around ideas for a perimeter, and basically what I want to do is use the energy of multiple fires set at different locations (to act as the energy source) to fuel to an alarm in case something nasty crawls across it.

We'd just need to maintain the center fire as a magical link will connect it to the rest.

Is this map accurate though?

I realize this isn't at the top of anyone's priorities list, but would anyone be interested in a get together soon? Not a meeting, but a social gathering. To break up some of the monotony of scavenging and the various work everyone has been doing. Perhaps an afternoon at the cleaner of the two lakes? Or an evening bonfire?

So, all of what I've read over the last few pages in this super special magic journal sounds nuts. Not any less nuts than the guy I woke up with, I guess, but batshit all the same.

What the hell are the walls made of? What was the paper full of random ass symbols and is the map accurate? And what was with the box of junk, was there a point to some of that shit?

The babies are gone.

But the cute little baby toys are still here. Why didn't they take them too?

[Derek]

So, does your offer to move in still stand?

I've written and scribbled out probably a half a dozen letters. I'll keep it short this time. I'm sorry for how I behaved last week. I was out of line. I didn't mean any of it.
-Allison

Three days and the baby is still alive!

This is mostly thanks to Dave

But I successfully changed a diaper today without getting peed on!

~MT

He's gone.

Stiles is gone.

The guys here are really fans of babies, huh? It's like living in bizarro world.

If we're moving through life, next week can we be in charge of rebellious teenage girls who wear too little clothing and sleep around to spite their parents? Because I'd be totally okay with that experiment.

[ooc: posted after returning to the cabin last night.]

Long shot, but...are there any new arrivals this week? Perhaps someone missing their baby girl...? She looks maybe five or six months old? I don't know her name, we looked through all her stuff and couldn't find anything with her name on it, so... Please don't be an experiment, that's so fucked up

[Sent about an hour ago, filtered to Stiles]

Stiles, I'm okay. I've just...there's a baby. And if I leave it starts screaming, so - I'll let you know what's going on later.

[After an hour passes and she doesn't get any sort of reply, which is very strange, sent Unfiltered]

Um...has anyone heard from Stiles?

~Malia

How is it that love can have you on top of the world and feeling like your heart is being ripped from your chest all at the same time?
