All Along the Watchtower

I made a couple of breakthroughs in my inventing quest. I made a whirly-gig: a purely decorative object, albeit animated. The other thing was a portable tesla coil. I'm not sure of how helpful that could be, but - whomp - there it is. Oh well, at least it can be sent back to the colonies for sale. I'm still not sure how that happens and if it can be exploited to get out of here. Then again, are we better off staying or leaving this place? I'm kinda liking the decor and aesthetic here.

I was still on the phone when a robber tried to break in. Luckily, Bonehilda was still active and she was able to thwart the thief's plans. I don’t think she'll be back anytime soon. I called the cops and she was taken to jail, she'll be back but not for awhile. 

I had just gotten home when I got a call from Zelda. She wanted to chat a bit about the neighborhood prowlers. I told her what info I had learned and what info I have discovered about this new realm. She told me that she was suspicious of Regina Mills as she had a history of cursing people by sending them to another place without any memory of their past. She wants me to follow up on that lead. I asked her how she learned about Regina's past and she told me that she read about it in Henry's book. She found the "Once Upon a Time" book after Henry dropped it on his way home. 

I took the teleporter to go to th e grocery store but it ended up sending me to the magic shop. I wish I could say that I was furious but it is what it is. I was a bit frustrated however. The Vergis Corporation did say that it wasn't perfect. I may have to check it door bugs when I get back home, just to be sure. 

I was working on transmuting things into gold when suddenly I lost control and accidentally transformed myself into gold. The Reaper came and reaped me. Luckily I was prepared and bargained myself back to life with a death flower. I thought for sure I was a goner. If it hadn't been for that Death Flower, I probably would have been gone. I  wonder if I should tell others about my near death experience. 

So I went to make some brownies from the food replicator and it glitched. It spat out some water along with my brownies. Isn't that just wizard? I'll have to make some adjustments later. I don’t think Bonehilda is sufficiently skilled enough to make these adjustments, so it's up to me. 

I lost some more plants and it sent me on a crying jag. I am doing better and I know that their deaths are natural, but still I felt like a bit of a failure. I'll bounce back soon enough. 

Right before I left the party, I ran into Scooby. He and I spent a few minutes playing around. I didn't want to leave the party without seeing him and making sure he's doing ok. 

Shaggy gave me a gift for helping him at the last party. The good luck spell actually helped him get a promotion at work. He was super excited and wanted to thank me for my help. I told him that it was unnecessary, but he insisted. It was an emerald crystal that he got from the town magic shop.

Shaggy and I hung out for most of the party. We chatted, played games, & even made funny faces with each other. Most everyone was inside being normal & stuff, but not Shaggy. He's so awesome! 

Shaggy Rogers invited me to his house party the other day. I must admit it was fun. I asked if there was soda or alcohol and he said there was plenty of soda for me. The last party I went to was chocked full of alcohol. So this was a bit of a relief for me. 

After I finished identifying the seeds that I discovered, I decided that it was time to harvest my plants. I managed to obtain some fire fruit, spotlight mushrooms, life fruit, and some others. All and all, it was a very good harvest. 

So after playing with Regina, I decided to fertilize my garden. I also managed to identify some seeds that I managed to find earlier. Turns out that they were just some basic gardening seeds. One was blackberry and the others were lettuce seeds. I think that I have those already.

I took Regina out for a bit so she could play with me in the garden. I had her do some tricks and fly around for me. After we finished playing, I gave her a treat. She's getting good at doing her tricks and she is getting better at her conjuring magics.

I decided to work on my garden today. I've been working on growing flame fruit. It's been going well.

So the replicator finally came. It uses air molecules to create food literally out of thin air. This thing is so awesome! I replicated a brownie as a test and it was amazing! 

The sink broke again but luckily Bonehilda was available to fix it. She is so amazing and an absolute necessity for any household. I wish mortals were allowed to have her I their homes, but sadly that is not the case. Magical people are allowed access to magical beings and such.

I've been thinking about buying one of those food replicators from Greystone Industries. I went online and did some research into them. I checked the reviews on Kerb!am to see what people are saying. I'll go ahead and order one and see how it goes. 

After the party ended I returned home. I put on my jacket and hood for the return flight. I still don't know why Regina insisted on a swimwear party on such a cold day. I imagine that she didn't know that it was going to be this cold today.

After I calmed a little bit, I tried to express myself a little bit better. After arguing and refuting all of her claims, she still refused to see the light. I felt that I was left with little choice but to curse her. I made her into a toad-person. 

I had a run-in with this lady at the swimwear party. She and I were talking about different hobbies that people like and I casually told her that I was a gamer. She flipped shit and told me that I was a horrible person for doing that. I asked her to clarify what she meant and she said that games cause violence and get people killed. I told her that there were numerous studies done that disprove that widely held belief. She wouldn't hear of it and that's why I had to insult her. I told her she was a bigoted idiot. 

Shaggy kept pestering me about getting more info about his past. I tried to tell him that sometimes he had to wait and allow the mind to discover things for itself, but he was a bit insistent. I compromised and cast a good luck spell on him in hopes that would allay some of his worries. He happily settled with that and thus I cast it upon him. Who knows? Maybe it will knock some things loose.

Shaggy asked me to mindmeld him once again. He was a little curious to see what I could learn. I told him that I didn't get much, only images of him living near a beach or going near a beach. He is getting quite antsy and wants more info. I told him that there's not much that I can do.

So I went to an indoor pool party that had no pool. So, I guess it was a swimwear party. Anyway, I ran into Shaggy and we started chatting about how chilly it was outside and that it was inappropriate for us to do swimwear. He argued that since it was raining it made some sense for us to be in swimwear. I told him that I guess that made some sense as well.
