I've been thinking lately, it might be time I sought employment.

What have you done with them? Don't lie to me and don't give me excuses. Just tell me.

[Aisling's voice is neither high-pitched, nor strident, but slightly deeper than usual and her words carry a sense of depth that very nearly echoes like an empty hall. There is no video accompaniment this time.]

Give them back! They were mine! Mine, do you understand! You have no right to do this!

[A hushed rustling sound grows behind her voice, like trees before the precursor winds of a storm, but the skies are clear and there's not much in the way of wind today.]

They had lives, they had friends, and you don't know what you've done - to them, to those you forced them to leave behind. You think you know.

[Her voice shakes, strained with grief, but rage is swiftly overtaking it. If you'd thought you'd heard her angry before, that was nothing in comparison.]

You think you understand everything, but you don't know anything! Give. Them. Back.

[The audio cuts off abruptly.]

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

ugh, guys


ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Someone fix it!!!

Okay, who's casting spells at my forest?

[Aisling's all frowning confusion today - she's not even really angry, exactly. Just baffled.]

Why do you want the colors to change and for everything to be still?

[Sure enough, when she turns the camera, it looks like she's switched it to instagram snapshots, except that she's moving between the trees. Everything is stock still - not a leaf or a blade of grass moving, even though the breeze ruffs across the microphone. If she doesn't move the camera, you'd think it were a photograph, not a video. Some of the trees look like they might have been... painted? From oil paint? That patch of flowers is definitely in watercolor.]

If you want something, I'm sure we can bargain for it, but it's really very rude to cast spells in other people's houses. Especially without talking about it first!

Who: Helen Magnus, Arthur Kirkland/England
What: Dinner
When: Early April?
Where: Starting at his place? We’ll see from there.

(  Helen had spent nearly four months on the island by now, a relatively short while considering her longevity but long enough to start thinking she might truly be stranded here. )

I've never seen lava once it's cooled down all the way. It has cooled down all the way, hasn't it? It won't flood out if someone breaks it open and start up again. It just looks really fluffy, like misshapen pillows. But I wouldn't suggest using it that way, even if it's really tempting, it's not worth it.

How's everyone?

What with the fires and rocks and all the ash, and then the rain, the city looks quite a sight, doesn't it... There's so much to clean and rebuild. No matter what time of day it looks like someone's going too or from a site. If you're bored, or find yourself with nothing to do, a lot of places are looking for volunteers. Even if it's just walking someone's dog while they pick through the wreckage, you'd be a great help.

Who: Elsa + You
Where: Near the beach
When: Late night, the 24th
What:

It's been some time since her subsequent de-age and the itch to use her powers returned. That being said, while she has casually mentioned her powers to others, she wasn't that fond of showing them off. It mattered to her that Arendelle (and Anna) loved them. And, of course, it mattered to her. She casts her hand in the air, a stream of cold light reaching the sky before bursting into a million snowflakes, fluttering down. She grinned.

It was late and it was dark. Some would see, it couldn't be helped. But it was time to enjoy herself.

Did everyone have a good Saint Valentine's Day?

Saint Valentine - now that brings me back. Rome, in its last few centuries. Time goes by so quickly.

Lovely bloke, though! Used to take him bowling with Alexander the Great and Virginia Woolf.
