Welcome to Night Vale

Honestly glad that fear bullshit skipped me over

I finally tried Taco Bell. It's terrible and also I want ten more tacos. What the fuck?

Also I'm married now which...what the fuck?

quistis.

Thanks for all your help with everything. I really couldn't have done any of that without you.

jupeter.

So, Mr. Steel, how are you liking this whole being hitched thing?

I've been doing a lot of work with prosthetic limbs and mobility aids since I got here. I have to admit, I find the work far more fulfilling than my projects back home. It's nice to not be making weapons.

atisha.

Speaking of, I have the final version of your arm done if you want to come by. It shouldn't need any adjustments to fit properly, but if its in any way uncomfortable, do let me know.

I took your arcane talents into account, and it should work as a focus for you magic for when you don't have your staff about.

meetra.

How is your arm doing? Do you need any maintenance?

vex.

I'm popping out to the shops, darling? Can I get you anything?

I think I have managed to catch a cold. I shouldn't be surprised. I always manage to catch one this time of year. This is all to say that I won't be in the labs tomorrow. I'm taking a husband enforced day off

Before I'm banished away from the computer, I do need to post a job opening. I need an assistant at the Labs. It's mostly for doing clerical work and helping making sure everyone gets what they require. My former one was wonderful but she has disappeared. I'm assuming that she's returned home.

Does anyone else feel like July's flown by? Shit This is fine

On the plus side, the hotter it gets, the more like home it feels.

quistis.

Is it normal to be panicking? It's normal, right?

But hey...at least once the wedding is over with, that's one less thing for you to organize.

Which now that I think about it, you might actually be happier with more things to organize.

Ignore me.

nureyev.

I'm not panicking. You're panicking.

mick.

Got a favor to ask.

I didn't even realize the date had passed. Birthday officially in two weeks and five days, just in case anyone wanted to keep track!

Is 28 all that different? Asking for a friend.

Filtered to Leanne, Angelina, and Hermione

Right, so am I the only horrible person that let the 2nd slip by? I mean back home the reminder was everywhere, but I don't know, do we want to get dinner? I feel like we should do something. Or maybe not? This is the part where I start overthinking.

Filtered to Pete

I feel terrible. The anniversary of a really terrible day in my world was a few days ago, and it completely slipped my mind.

The better news is that I think me becoming an Animagus is a real possibility.

Well, good to know things back home are still a mess.

jupeter.

Don't panic.

mick.

So I ran into Sasha again.

steel and miller investigations.

Won't be in today. Got shot.

linda.

Could we possibly reschedule our session?

Okay so like.. there's this fun game to play with friends to get to know each other better and stuff, it's called two truths and a lie. Basically the rules are you get to say three wild and crazy things about yourself in any order; two are true and one is made up.

The goal of the game is to guess which one is the lie for other people while hoping it takes the others a few rounds to guess your lie.


I'll go first as an example:

🕸️ My first Halloween trick or treating I went as a unicorn astronaut space princess.
🕸️ I still own a bunch of Beanie Babies from my tween years.
🕸️ I once hopped dimensions just to get a pair of handcuffs off.

It's been a little bit since I put it out to the universe and I see we have some new faces (hi, welcome!), so I thought I'd pop up and toss out a reminder that if anyone is looking to sit down and chat with a therapist, I'm available. I'm Dr. Linda Martin, and I've quickly become a specialist in those 'weird' cases that you might think would have you committed. Believe me, I've seen some things, I won't think you're crazy.

So, yes. If you'd like to come in and chat, I have appointments available.

[ FRIENDS ]

What are you doing tomorrow morning? Because mama needs mimosas.

I'm thinking of reading people's cards again. Seems like the season for it. New beginnings and all. Not sure if that's anything anyone here would be interested in, but I used to do it frequently enough.

Plus I'm getting a bit bored without the constant adventure. Might as well find a way to pass the time.

unpleasant one.

So, you've been quiet lately, which isn't your thing.

Something on your mind?

st. john.

Just thought I'd check in with you. How are you settling in?

pink + purple.

Your friend does good work. At least, I assume all the color is your friend.

The whole spring thing is different. You guys have all kinds of seasons around here, don't you?

The flowers are nice.

nureyev.

Speaking of flowers, you're a huge idiot.

But I love you, so...yeah.

Shit. We need to set a date, don't we?

miller.

You've seemed weird lately. Everything okay?

quistis and sasha.

So I figured maybe dress shopping this weekend? If you're both free.

mick.

Wanted to talk to you about something.

This goes against every rule but

What options are there for those of us with... nonstandard diets?

I found this weird rock? Probably a rock. Who knows, honestly.

It keeps changing colors. It's probably not dangerous, but honestly who knows with this place.

Last time I found a weird rock did not go so great. Then again, I probably won't end up having to swallow this one.

quistis.

You're the most terrifyingly efficient and organized person I know.

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.

archive squad + georgie.

Well, that was certainly a choice that I made.

Does this technically count as self-care?

morgan.

Would you like to sit in if people give statements?

You can be a mug if you'd prefer.

🤎 Well, isn't this just a technicolor delight? I can only imagine what it must look like out in the streets considering now much it's painted the network. 🤎

So I have to ask.

What is all the white bullshit anyway? Besides a safety hazard.

I guess this whole holiday stuff isn't so bad.

I'm working on a new project. I was a Private Investigator back on Mars, and I've kind of missed it since I ran off to do space crime, so I was thinking of getting back into it. So Steel Investigations is going to be a thing in the new year.

I'm going to need an assistant/secretary/receptionist, if anyone is interested in that kind of job. You won't be as good as Rita but I'm good at the PI part of thing but...not really the office part of things, and I'm kind of a luddite, so I'll need the help.

miller.

I know this is your kind of thing too, so if you wanted, you could work with me. Two investigators is sometimes better than one. I'm not exactly the friendliest or most social person, but I figure we can make it work.

nureyev.

You I That present was...pretty great. So...thank you.

I love you.

mick.

I want to spend the rest of my life with Peter Nureyev.

How fucking terrifying is that.

Ohh.. I fucked up...

Right so... a version of Earth in 2020. You haven't even colonized Mars yet?! Oof. That's fine, it's fine, I have undoubtedly been worse places. Although I thought all the time jumping stuff stopped in the 2270's? How the hell do I apply the Prime Directive to this

Any way.

Hello! I'm Commander Jack Ransom of the USS Cerritos - I come in peace! Also I come extremely hungry so.. how do I get from the library to the nearest mess hall? This map looks like a child designed it. Not saying it's bad, but going from hologram back to paper is an adjustment that doesn't happen instantly.

You know, I'm trying to think of all the ways that the timing of something like this could be worse, but I honestly can't come up with a single one.

So this is just something people are copacetic about? It's fine that we've been kidnapped to the freaking desert? Yeah, sure. Why not.

God, I need a drink.
