Welcome to Night Vale

So I'm still trying to get my footing here. I know we're all pretty far from home and everything that that means, so I wouldn't mind having to opportunity to get to know all of you better.

Eadwulf and I have discussed doing a pub crawl just to get a lay of the land and well, because that's honestly the best way to see the sights. If anyone else wants to come, you're welcome.

We're meeting in the town square shortly.

ODD ENCOUNTERS

So, I'm not entirely sure how to ask this, but... Where am I? Apologies if this is a question that gets bandied about here rather often, but I was definitely in a bog when I went to sleep. Not a desert. Nevermind the weird

It is, to my understanding, there are individuals with powers such as myself here, correct?

I am going to ask for your assistance. I seem to have attracted the ire of this creature, and it would seem that my efforts alone aren't going to be enough to stop it.

I'd rather avoid causing any further destruction, so I've driven it as far from the town as possible. I appreciate and am extremely grateful for any help in advance.

[OOC: Feel free to help solve the puzzle here to defeat Blaze! Apologies for this being so late!]

... okay, this is officially Very Weird.

( CW: dolls )

Same deal as last time - just the dolls and the coffins. Please come and take your tiny selves away?

Hey. So.

Did anyone order a pair of creepy dolls? I think they got delivered to me by mistake maybe? They're in 1205 if you want to come claim them.

( Image dump - CW: porcelain dolls )

Objects where they shouldn't be. Familiar songs in wrong keys, never resolved.

Ghosts dance on top of one another. Stacking infinitum. Worlds over worlds over worlds balancing until the box opens and the cat comes out. Or doesn't.

No armor, no steel. The hum is wrong.

Ooooh boy.

Uh, hello? I'm Pike. And yeah.

Vox Machina buddies? You there?

In honour of the forthcoming festival of love, Rest & Thyme Urban Apothecary are delighted to announce a new range of solid perfumes, massage oils and soy-based candles perfect for any romantic occasion.

Because we also love friends, family and ourselves, we'll also be cutting the cost of all existing product lines by half for the remainder of February, so you can treat someone special to one of our signature lotions or potions.

Everything's better with Rest & Thyme

I thought it would be smooth sailing for a while, but no, everyone is still acting like a bunch of wild animals. When does the insanity end? Is it wrong to use my abilities to make them leave me alone? Asking for a friend.

It would seem the twins are here just in time for Winter's Crest.

The babies and Vex'ahlia are doing quite well, and Vesper is delighted to be a big sister.

So now we have Juniper Cassandra and Frederick Vax'ildan de Rolo.

vox machina and friends.

Vex still needs to rest, but we'd love to have you all meet the twins.

vax and keyleth.

Though I should think it's obvious, we would like you to be the children's godparents.

I wonder how many people here with dogs would be interested in having them interact. I think Revas might enjoy having more canine friends.

alistair, daylen & anders.

I'm continuing my work on finding a cure for our mutual condition. I'll keep you all appraised of my efforts. I am not sure how it will go, but I do have hope.

zelda.

Anders suggested I speak to you about my work. He believes you may be able to help.

keyleth.

I am working on a project and I wonder if I might have your assistance. I also wanted to share with you some of the Dalish magic I feel would suit you.

Show of hands, how many others here are single parents who spend most of their time socializing with the pre-preschool crowd? For those that can say 'yes' -- any interest in, perhaps, a weekly play group where the kids can entertain each other and we can have real, adult conversation?

The view from up here is quite splendid today! This is the kind of magical mischief I don't mind.

I am really writing with a serious request, however. This should have been my last year at school, and while I do think that finishing my education properly is the right thing to do, there is no appropriate establishment here in which I might do so. I would instead like to engage one or more private tutors, in the following subjects:

Magical Theory
Latin
Arithmancy
Astronomy

Potions
Charms
Transfiguration
Magical Duelling

For each subject you took up, we would meet for an hour or two once a week, and you would if you wished set me preparatory work to complete between those meetings.

My stipulations are that you do not have a dislike of young people, and that you will not ask or expect me to use any muggle machines or inventions as a part of my studies. I shall promise to be a responsible and diligent senior student and not to indulge in magical pranks or anything of that sort. And of course you would be suitably recompensed for your time and effort.

Do write if you are interested.

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?

Did the local raven population just explode? Is that normal for Night Vale? I swear there weren't half this many yesterday.


[Vox Machina]
Is everyone okay?


[Neria]
People seem super tense right now; I'm thinking we should stock up on lavender and chamomile and all that kind of thing? And also maybe buy a scarecrow for the community plot?

What do you think?

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!

Fjord? Artagan?

Am I alone? I think I'm alone. I'm sure this place is really nice and all, but it's weird and I can't be lost. I'd like to go back to Nicodranas. NOW? PLEASE!?!

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.

warded to healers & medical staff:

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.

OMG YOU GUUUUUUYS.

I found the cutest, punchiest, angriest little plant in the desert today, and it just reminded me sooooo much of Buttercup!

It's gonna be my stand in Buttercup until she shows up all punchy and fighty!
