Welcome to Night Vale

I love the start of spring. It just feels so good. Everything coming into bloom and all that life.

It's been so nice just getting to create things.

I've been growing a lot of new plants, so if anyone needs any for anything, just let me know. There's a lot of flowers obviously, in addition to the desert plants, and also some medicinal plants. Just all kind of things. My creative juices have been flowing. Maybe I should set up a florist shop or maybe a bakery

hades.

I have a whole section I thought you might like, if you wanted to see them.

So, with Juno gone, I'm looking for a new job. Any leads around town? My experience is mostly in research, but I'm quick to learn and willing to do just about anything so I don't go absolutely batshit mental.

Maybe it's just because the last few years have been kind of crazy, but I feel like I'm going to lose my mind from boredom here. Anyone else feeling it?

I can't take sitting on my butt anymore and I'm told you're the PiC with the sheriff's department. Any chance you've got an opening?

This is a warning to anyone and everyone that is going to have to deal with me the next few months. The second that the temperature dips below 72, Basic White Girl Season is a-go. This means that I will be stealing one of Martin's giant fluffy sweaters, making a lot of overly spiced seasonal teas, and spending my long nights at home reading in front of a lovely crackling fire. Anyone that wishes to join me in this endeavor is more than welcome, but if you're looking to yuck my yum, please to be seeing yourself out posthaste.

I am more than happy to see summer go.

I very rarely miss home.

After these past couple of days, I almost miss my horrible mother.

I'm so sorry for the trouble I caused everyone.

I'm very sorry for what happened at the shop. You guys did amazing and I really appreciate that.

private to jon
I'm sorry. I love you so much.

It's taken a while to get everything up and going but the Rest & Thyme Urban Apothecary is officially open at [address] for all your herb, poultice, salve and tincture needs! Or some of them, at least. If you can't spot what you're after, let me know and I'll do my best to find, grow or make it. Unless what you're after is tea in which case you should check out The Paradox.

From now until the end of Summer, you can get 10% off your bill if you say "Hello Suntree" when paying and a free lemon balm or peppermint plant (while stocks last which will be a while because oh wow I grew Way Too Much for one person) if you share a favourite nausea remedy from your homeworld.

Hope to see you there soon! Remember: everything gets better with Rest & Thyme!

Why do I feel like everyone in my life is avoiding me?

I have an opening at the Paradox if anyone is looking for a job. One of my workers is gone and we're doing more business and I worry about everyone else getting burned out. They're good employees. They don't deserve that.

I've also been working on some new recipes for pastries so I could use some taste testers.

I could use assistance locating a few potions ingredients at the market, should anyone come across these:

Dittany

Mandrake root

Flobberworm mucus

Sloth brain

Valerian root

Wormwood

And if there's something approaching decent English tea here, I'd appreciate recommendations.

Hello. My name is Draco Malfoy. I'm a registered healer with several years experience working in a hospital setting. I've no idea whether you need more support, but I'm available should you need my healing and potionmaking skills. I prefer keeping busy whenever possible.

I am not a contest person. I am barely even a watch contest person. They make me anxious and I always end up thinking that the wrong person won.

So it's strange that I ended signing up for a baking contest. One that I only sort of remember signing up for.

I'm pretty sure I'll be laughed out of the competition. Maybe I'd be better off learning to fight and joining the fight club.

Well, that was fun while it lasted. Jon officially has smitedsmote my icebat. It was pretty calm at first but then it got nasty. I don't know what happened to it. Luckily no one got too badly hurt. I just got a black eye when I tripped over a chair leg.

I am not an athlete.

Seifer's ice bat thing has been following me around since it hatched and making weird noises. I think it imprinted on me or something.

It's kind of cute in a horrible way.

I guess I need to name it.

I stopped by the bank and honestly...I've never identified so strongly with an ATM in my life.

Does anyone need help with their horrible egg abominations? Because I can probably smite them if anyone's in a spot.

I can no longer thrive in this household.

a) Please...just please stop shouting my name across the flat, followed by the most inane question possible. No, Tim, I cannot tell you what opinion fish collectively have about ska music. I'm not an Alexa. Also an Alexa probably couldn't tell you that either. Sasha, please stop asking me how to make a meringue. Just use your smartphone. Or ask Martin. He's the one who can bake. I can cook. I cannot bake.

b) Why is this our fridge:
( cut for image again )

That's not even true.

c) Martin, this does not apply to you, you've done nothing wrong.

d) Same to Georgie.

Last time I came across a large purple egg, I knew it was a dragon's egg. No idea what this one is, and it hasn't even gotten warm yet.

Who else found purple eggs? Anyone's hatching yet? Should I be prepared to fight it, eat it, or coo at it?

Are things ever just chill here? Asking for a friend.

Congrats to the egg baby daddies, I guess?

Sasha said she'd go with me to the Station today, but I can't seem to find her? She's not answering her phone either.

I don't want to ring any alarms, but yes. Bit worried.

Does anyone have any horrific experiences of a supernatural nature that they would be willing to discuss at length?

I'm legally obligated in that my boyfriend said I really should to tell you that if you do, there is a not-insignificant chance you will have strange recurring dreams about the incident in question.

If you're interested, please do let me know.

Well, that was certainly a choice that I made.

Does this technically count as self-care?

Would you like to sit in if people give statements?

You can be a mug if you'd prefer.

If anyone is looking for a job, I'm going to be opening a Coffee and Tea shop soon. The Paradox will have proper English tea and coffee, pastries and books for lending. We should be ready for opening day by the end of the first week in March. We had a bit of a plumbing problem that has been fixed.

And I am very tired. I need a vacation, I believe.

I suppose I'm going to have to think of some big opening day event. I have no idea what to do. I've made a terrible mistake and this whole thing is going to fail.

💛 I don't like this at all.
💛 How do I make it stop?

It's snowing! Actual snow or at least it seems to be.

I don't have much experience with deserts outside of Nightvale but I was pretty sure that snow wasn't really something that happened there. It's very pretty though. I went for a walk and it was so quiet and calm. It reminded me of the lonely

I've been thinking...There is an abandoned storefront in town that would make a rather nice coffee and tea shop. I was also thinking perhaps I could find a way to get books for people.

What do you guys think?
