Hola! So I don’t have much time to write rn cause I’m just waiting for Ebony to get ready, like it’s just a quick trip to the shops, you don’t need four different braids. But yeah we’re popping out to the shops which is like a ten-minute bus ride cause Sally doesn’t have time to go as she is already prepping food for Christmas which i keep forgetting is in just a few days anyway gtg Ebony is ready.

Hola, I’m back and I’m on the bus. Ali, the kid we saw in the shops a couple days ago, is on our bus as well as the other kids who Alexis and Ebony didn’t recognise. As we were leaving Alodos arrived, apparently he is staying for christmas Ebony said that we would be back in less than an hour so he went in to talk to Sally. I’m listening to Taylor Swift rn (did I mention I’m a huge Swiftie cause I am) wait just a moment I’m gonna ask the others what they’re listening to. Ok I’m back, Alexis is listening to Six the musical (because theatre kid) and Ebony is listening to girl in red (because lesbian). Wait. The bus driver just took a wrong turn. Ebony just went up to the bus driver. She just came back “they didn't say anything”. As I look around I can see the glint of metal from the weapons many people here carry. Guns? Pfft no. no-one has guns around here. I’m talking bows, swords, knives. I pat the small knife at my belt which i can’t fully use yet but love the fact that I own it. I think with Ebony’s bow (strapped across her back, she never leaves without it), Alexis’s martial arts training, and the weapons of the other passengers, we could take a bus driver. But that’s just me overplan-

Okayyyy so something just happened. I’m gonna quickly summarise it in case something happens to me. The bus driver swerved into a bush and then disappeared. Apparently all the adults on the bus were wimps and didn’t care about a bunch of kids because they all just ran away leaving me, Alexis, Ebony, Ali, the blonde girl and the ‘bad boy’. We all immediately drew our weapons, Ebony knocking an arrow faster than I can blink, Alexis immediately in a fighting stance and I did something bad by Taylor Swift playing through my headphones, knife drawn. Blonde held a scythe that seemed to be made of pure light (wait I think i know who she is now), Baddie held a whole ass trident and Ali looked absolutely badass with two knives that seemed to come from their earrings. We all stood there for a moment before Alexis said “awkward silence” and we all burst out laughing, all except Baddie. Now Alexis is trying to call emergency services but there’s no signal, Ebony is trying to contact Sally on her magic pager thing that doesn’t need wifi so it was strange she wasn’t picking up. I’m going to go and help the others so bye.

Okay it’s later and everyone has introduced themselves so i’m going to do that thing i did with Sally, Ebony and Alexis in the first entry except with our like surviving in the woods group.

Ali Myar is thirteen, their pronouns are they/ them and they are agender and bisexual. They are a writer and they live with some family members who also live in Navyshire. They came here two years ago and have gone to Navyshire middle school ever since. They kinda look like a red-haired Alex from Magnus Chase. They got their earring-knives from their father who lives here and is a metalsmith and got them enchanted by one of his characters. They have some survival skills from being kicked out by their mum repeatedly as a child but not much wilderness knowledge.

Amya Otal is actually the main character of the story i was writing when i came here! Her pronouns are she/her and she is lesbian. She just arrived in Navyshire after crossing the border when I saw her when we were shopping. She just looks like me I guess but with white and longer hair. She learned a lot of survival skills from growing up in the woods as a child which is bad for her, and my fault, but it’s good for us now. She can summon light and manipulate it which is how she had her scythe. But yeah she is really nice and easy to talk to unlike the last member of our group.

Keton. Just Keton is his name. He has no last name. He is another character and he was going to LEAVE US and just go off into the woods by himself i guess but Alexis convinced him to stay i think she just shocked him by being nice (only because she has a crush on him). But it was still really hard to get anything out of him so here’s what we got-

• His pronouns are he/him

• In his world there is no romance so he doesn’t have a sexuality so I’m just going to classify him as aroace for now (Alexis says i should classify him as pan)

• He has lots of wilderness experience because he is the ‘loner’ type

That’s it. That’s all we got out of him. Anyway I'm going to go now and help the others with the shelters.

Adios, Mars
