All Along the Watchtower

I used the teleporter to get to the grocery store and instead ended up at the junkyard. I had to make the best of missing the mark. According to some online posts that I read, there's a mod that you need to do yourself. Once that is done, you can go wherever you want with no restrictions. I can cast a spell that will cause the device to be upgraded. Next time I wanna go somewhere, I'll be sure to get there.

I had to take a shower afterwards. I was able to get off all the soot and grime. The  sonic shower is pretty amazing. 

While working on my latest invention, I accidentally set myself on fire. I had to call the fire department to come and put me out. After the fire was out, I got a call from Zelda about wanting to meet up later and go out to eat. I'll need to take a shower later.

I spoke with my magic mirror today. I wanted a new look. He recommended some new sleepwear. He showed me a new outfit that he thought I might actually like. It was a shirt from the play Wicked with green sleeper shorts. I love it! The Wizard of Oz is one of my favorite stories and so is the musical. Maybe I should look into getting some new daily outfits. I'm tired of the same 3 outfits everyday. 

I decided to awaken Bonehilda. She immediately went to task cleaning up the dust after the spell settled. 

I ate my pancakes in my new home today. The new sofa was an amazing addition and quite comfortable. I really love the Halloween aesthetic that this place has. The pictures that I printed out really didn't do this place justice online. I wonder what else this place has in store. 

My restructuring spell has taken root and reshaped my home for me. It has more room to fit both my workbench and my Grand Grimoire in at the same time. I no longer have to constantly stop and swap the 2 of them out. I like that I even have a space for the garden outside. Sadly, my enchanter's station that I bought awhile ago doesn't really fit anywhere. I may do another restructuring ritual later to fix that, but for the next few months I'm happy with this.

I bought this drill from Mr. Gold's Pawn Shop and brought it home. It's a mining drill that digs deep into the ground and pulls out gems and other stones for me to do with as I need. Hopefully this will be faster for me than hunting for them across the island. 

I flew my broom out to Gold's Shop. I wanted to see if they have anything new to purchase. I'm hoping to find a new device for me to play around with or something worthwhile for me to buy. Sometimes you can find some really good things to buy and play with. 

I got to meet my first deer after the competition ended. I approached it and offered it one of my beans as a treat. I don't think that it liked the coffee bean. It snubbed its nose up at me and galloped off. I guess that this just isn't my day.

I went to the faery garden today in Lollipop Playground. There was a gardening competition being held there in Faery Alley and I decided to enter my Kona Beans that I had grown. After a grueling round of judging, I came in second place. Oh well, maybe next time I'll come in first place.

I went out to  Oleander Gardens and Elixirs to sell some gemstones that I found. I was able to make a substantial profit from their sale. I was also able to pick up a few ingredients for making my potions.

For breakfast that morning I had pancakes with blackberries that I got from Slop N Shop Gross-ery. Although the blackberries can't be seen in this image, I promise you that they are there. Blackberries are my favorite fruit to eat, along with plums and watermelons. They pancakes were delicious as I topped them with powdered sugar & blackberry syrup. 

I went back to working on my garden once the zombies were dealt with. I've been encouraging them to grow with a better quality by talking to them. So far, it's been going quite well; they have improved significantly. I hope that they will only get better with my encouraging words. 

After fighting off the first one, a second and third one rose up. I tried freezing the first one but sadly I was too scared to solidify it. I hit the second zombie with a knockout jinx from the Grand Grimoire. It was enough to scare off the third and first one. I managed to get bak into the house, lock the door, and stay alive until morning. 

I was outside when the zombies started to rise. It's comforting know that this is a multi-universe problem. I managed to fight this one off with some quick hand-to-hand combat. It was so close that I could smell its foul smelling breath.

So I went to do my dishes in the sink & it broke. I freaked right the frak out. I can't believe that this keeps happening to me!  I'm not sure why my sinks keep breaking. Do I need to do an upgrade on them? Is that even possible? I feel like that's a thing, but I'm not sure.

To make myself feel better, I got in my pj's and had myself a snack. I decided to eat a Marshmallow Bunny that I had gotten from online. It was so cute that I almost couldn't eat it. 

I had another panic attack today. This time in the form of a crying session. I cried uncontrollably in my garden for like 20 minutes. I think I should see a professional but the problem is that there aren't any in this new reality. I just gotta hold it together for now. I'm not sure what to do. I gotta find out if I can contact someone online who can help.

I made a new toy today. I call it the " Tentacled Wind Up." I know that it's not fancy or anything, but it does look fun. You wind it up with the key and it walks around. Again, not fancy but  the kids will love it. They'll get a kick out of watching it walk around. Or maybe they can pretend to be a giant monster and "attack" it and play with it that way.

I worked in my garden today. My plants just needed some encouragement from me to grow better. I know that before long, they will be better and stronger and more abundant than ever before. 

After dealing with my allergies, I decided to relax and watch telly. Did you know that we get colonial programming here in this realm? I wonder if there is a way to exploit that somehow. I watched a few episodes of Doctor Who, followed by a few episodes of Once Upon a Time. I wonder how Emma & Regina would react if they knew in my reality they are TV characters. Considering that they characters in a book on a show, I think that they'd handle it pretty well. 

I took my broom back home and as soon as I got off, I immediately got sick. Luckily I was able to get to the toilet on time before puking my guts out. I don't think it was motion sickness but it was related to my allergies. I will spare you the disgusting details and not explain why it happened. 

The mindmeld that I performed on Regina wasn't very helpful. I did see the block, but nothing behind it. I can't see who put it there or what's powering it. Whatever or whoever put it there has more power than I do.

I asked Regina how she's doing at her job & how she's liking it. She is in politics and is trying to get ahead in that career. I asked her about being the mayor of Storybrooke and she just has a vague recollection of the town. She knows that she was in politics but not to what degree ort where. Emma has a vague understanding of Ingrid and her power, but that's it. Some people have vague impressions of their past lives, but nothing of real substance. 

Regina and I also caught up as she had missed me at the party. She asked how bad the weather was as she had heard it was only going to be cloudy today. I told her that it was cloudy alright. I told her that it was storming out and that Emma had been struck by lightning but had managed to survive. It was raining cats and dogs outside. 

Emma was quite unlucky in that she was struck by lightning when the storm pitched up. She came back into her house, singed, and in need of a good cleaning off. I asked her if she was alright and she said that she was OK and that she was gonna go upstairs to clean herself off. I offered to help in anyway that I can but she declined. 

Emma Swan invited me over to her place the other day. It's been awhile since I helped her with her party crasher. She wanted to see how I was doing and what, if anything, I have learned about our predicament. I obliged of course and flew over to her place. I told her that she should get inside soon as it looks like it might rain soon.

It dawned on me one morning that I have been ignoring one of my greatest resources at my disposal: my magic mirror. I called upon it for aid and service to see if it had any information and it did! Finally - a break! After all this time I finally have a clue or two... maybe more. It told me that this was a realm of magic. A realm in which time stops and all things are possible. It exists outside the flow of time and that anything brought here can not only come from the colonies, but also other realms... other worlds. Worlds that in our reality are seen as fiction but are actually fact and that we touch in our subconscious when we write about them.  It also mentioned that there is someone or something here that has brought us to this realm. It can't see who or what, but it is still active and may pull other things and people to this world. It went on to say that it doesn't know if the island has always existed or if whatever force brought us to this place made it. Th...

In one of my various trips to Oleander Gardens and Elixirs magic shop, I managed to pick up a "Touch of Midas" potion. I have been wanting to try it out for quite some time. The potion has the power to turn nearly any object into gold, according to the Grand Grimoire. I drank it down to see if that was true or not. I could feel the power flow through me. I immediately ordered some items off the Kerb!am site and had them express delivered to my home. I ordered some crops from their crop feed and went to task of using the potion. I turned them, along with several other things into gold. I listed them on KPlop, at double their cost, and made a sweet profit. I was able to pay my bills this week and still have enough to save some for when I go to Gold's shop.

I went out to the  Slop N Shop Gross-ery's diner for a quick bite. The food has gotten better since the last time I ate here. I chatted with the waitress, Helga, about the town and she too says that she has lived her whole life here. It's weird that some people say they have lived here their whole lives while others say they haven't been here that long.

I went to Mr. Gold's shop to sell my latest creation. The new shopkeeper's name is Wanda Maximoff. I don’t really know her too well, but she seems familiar somehow. Like I saw her in a dream or maybe a TV show that I once saw. Anyway she said that she would be able happy to take my toy and resell it. Where do I know her from, though? Why does she feel so familiar? 

I went out to the Dead End Dive Bar after I went junkyard diving. I ordered the beef stew and even got a chance to try out the barkeep's latest concoction: The Pink Lady. It was a custom drink that he just whipped up for me on the spot. It tasted really sweet and contained no alcohol. I'm not into drinks with alcohol as they always taste terrible. Meanwhile, the stew was delicious.
