You approach what appears to be an abandoned house tucked away in the depths of Voltra. The lights have been off for what seems to be months and you scarcely remember seeing anyone going in or out. The grass is over grown and a couple of lawn decorations have fallen over at some point.
Curiously, you decide to examine closer.
The front door was carelessly left unlocked. However, as you step through to investigate inside of the cabin, you are surprised to find that it is fully furnished and decorated as if someone really does live here. Albiet, they must not come home very often, suggested by the layers of dust on every surface.
Where do they go?
Are they a traveler? Adventurer?
You glance around you and find a journal sitting near the entrance on a table. It sat at an angle as if to be welcoming whoever entered this home.
It wouldn't hurt to take a quick peek, right?
The first page reads:
"Hello, welcome!!
If I am not here, please feel free to leave a message! Write as much as you want, tell me about your day. You may insert images that you would like to show me or do anything you like.
When I return, I will love to respond to these notes and hang out!"
Signed, Jolly
Have a look around and see if they are home. Otherwise, you may decide whether to leave a note in their journal or to come back later. You might get lucky and catch them!
I was feeling silly when writing this post. I really do come and go so rarely, but I still love hanging with you guys! So I thought I'd try making a hangout thread. Having a place to come and go or maybe just sharing updates. I always appreciate that many of you don't forget who I am despite my scarcity.
Is this an appropriate way to use hang outs? not sure, I kinda forget forum etiquette sometimes. so uh yeah just lemme know if I do it wrong
For real though, if you come in here and I am not online, just give me a shout anyway!!
When I inevitably return I'll reply and be able to hang out :>
I usually don't disappear for 6 months so this should be feasible
Stuff going on with me~
Check out what else I get up to~

@Jolly: oh how cute! I love the intro post x3 it’s funny I was just thinking last night maybe I should make a hangout thread, now I can just hangout here! I hope anyway? 😅
Always nice to see you
Always nice to see you
@Ruby:
Hahaha I've thought about it in the past, but thought I'm not active enough for it.
So today i had an idea for this
I've been feeling nostalgic for avi sites again.
You are most welcome to use my hangout thread. A little extra hand with the dusting could be nice :>
@Alexia:
Okay wait this might be more accurate ;v;
I dont like dusting, it is a very sneeze inducing chore--
Today I must!!! draw!!
I have not been able to complete anything much over the last couple of days due to life and interviews distracting me.
And this constant urge to play story of seasons.
But I will resist
because I have Artfight to catch up my ratio on!
@Alexia:
That too ;A;
my cat has allergies, so she gets bad sneezy fits if I dont dust often enough!
I also have to dust her
@Sage: Thank you!! most of my items are more long-sleeve or warm looking. I was trying to go for a nice summery outfit
@Alexia:
yup!
I have a black cat so when she gets into dust, you can see it on her LOL
so I give her a wet rag bath so it doesnt make her sick
Thank you~
I love my animal childrens.
Welp
This is my last week of having home internet
my apartment complex is cancelling their contract with the internet company, since that company is actually very bad to work with.
It'll probably be a couple months before I can afford to raise my monthly bills by how expensive internet is here, so I'll be living off my mobile data for a bit!
Thankfully voltra is pretty easy to use on mobile iirc
@Sage:
I always wear these feets
it feels wrong to take them off at this point, my avi has become a character of sorts!
Today in Jolly updates:
Interviews!
I've been applying like crazy to find a job recently
a bit tricky in this town while riding the edge of a recession
I had two interviews last week. One that was in person and didn't go very great I felt so rusty, I goofed my words a lot. The other was on the phone and went very well, and scheduled for a second interview tomorrow over zoom.
Today I rejected a different interview for the people being rude (which was bizarre cause Ive never rejected one before), but I was excited for tomorrow's interview.
Then I got a text saying that it was TODAY
even though I didn't get it wrong, I have their confirmation for tomorrow. But it was a 3rd party contractor being a middle-man. So I just took myself to the job to ask directly.
They didn't even know I had an interview scheduled at ALL
Its scheduled for real this time but man
I feel like.. this process is a lot more wonky than I've experienced in the past..
@Sage:
I'm doing well! Its very hot outside today, but in a way kind of felt nice going out for a bit.
I spend a lot of my time indoors
How are you doing?
@Sage:
I'm always itchy
for me its probably the eczema kdsghjh
and today I have another interview via phone
although I keep sneezing so this will be silly I'm sure
@Sage:
Thank you!!
I'll be working back-of-house for a clothing company. I ended up quitting my last job for safety reasons, so now Im just starting from scratch again! It feels nice, I got a really good vibe from the HR manager so far.
the fact that there IS an HR manager is also a bonus, my last job didn't have one
I get to wear comfy shoes and everything! No more business casual and cult-like meetings~ hahaha
I also desperately need to update my wardrobe so I hope they have good discounts... I forgot to ask lmao
Ahhh and I got my dates wrong, so tomorrow my home internet gets shut off
o/
I will be a mobile internet person after today
maybe I will read books so much more without the distraction of my 'puter
Today in random thoughts
Our home internet was supposed to end yesterday.
apartment complex stated clearly that they would not be renewing the contract they had with the internet company.
(because the internet company used was awful lmao)
But uh
its still connected
either we're in a "grace period" of sorts or it would be nice if the internet company simply forgot to turn us off
I can watch youtube on my ps4 for a little longer HAHA
@neon:
Heyy day 3 of bonus internet!
and ty ty
clean floors make happy feets
@Ruby:
I'm always behind on my dusting
d(・∀・○)
@neon:
yeah its.. still on
I'm beginning to wonder if there's a month long grace period? since it was a business contract with the apartment complex, so maybe it just doens't work the same way it would a regular customer lol
(or they forgot to cancel their plan or something HAHA)
ohh thats weird D:
maybe contact verizon, if its their cable? I would think they should have the responsibility to fix it. That doesnt sound safe
