The Bird Like Objects have settled into their vessels and finally stopped arguing over who gets which, so I think they're stable enough for presentation.

Edith Nuñez -> Cait Williams, RF, likes Minesweeper, dislikes paddleboarding (tries to steal my phone to play Minesweeper, but their beak won't work on the screen)

José Harrington -> Maple Fredriksson, 3B, likes cello, dislikes coin collecting (the only spirit to make a vessel choice based solely off of name, but I have to admit, it does fit)

Ricky Fujiwara -> Lula Dudley, C, likes crocheting, dislikes lockpicking (I don't know how she does it, but I leave and I come back and crochet has been done. This should not be possible with thr vessel she has?)

Addison Aguilera -> Yongjun Ramirez, SP4, likes roguelike games, dislikes geocaching (has started trying to do roguelike speedruns in real life, absent a form with opposable thumbs)

June Kovač -> Jaime Arnaud, CF, likes learning languages, dislikes feng shui (the twins now specifically set themselves at 'disharmonious' positions in any given location to 'disrupt the feng shui' and 'ruin the vibes')

June Lorenzo -> Yasmin Beridze, RP1, likes scrapbooking, dislikes feng shui (this has no effect on anything, but they're not doing something stupid, so)

Xandra Speaker -> Mango Ryu, 2B, likes minimalism, dislikes hunting (wanted the whistle vessel so bad, since that one's about as minimalist as they come, but couldn't keep up with Arky)

Slurmp Andreasen -> Raymond Bonzalez, RP2, likes heckling comedians, dislikes sewing (is the only one who knows how to sew and got swarmed by requests to mend things when his teammates found out; was the most egregious vesselhopper to escape this, and so got stuck with the one with the worst balance. We'll see if he can compensate in games)

Ivy Chapman -> Juli Aguilar, SP2, likes bowling, dislikes treasure hunting (and by likes bowling I mean likes rolling into the pins itself, hence the round vessel)

Seok-Jin McDowell -> Silver Camacho, SP5, likes LEGOs, dislikes collecting toys (will fully just break into people's houses to play with their legos since it doesn't want to get its own, chose a small vessel to facilitate this)

Algernon Vos -> K. Ruiz, RP3, likes collecting pogs, dislikes boating (Silver always makes lu be the boat)

Tony Cheng -> Eva Yusupova, CL, likes collecting junk, dislikes shopping (immediately threw out all of Tony's charms and started picking up bottlecaps)

Suzanne Henson -> Andre Ogura, 1B, likes nature, dislikes carolling (got summoned to the penguin vessel and was the first one to learn how to vesselhop from the force of her disgust)

Sofia Blair -> Rowan Adkins, LF, likes LARPing, dislikes watching movies (LARPing as a bird, that is)

Joey Maxwell -> Arky Gaillard, SP3, likes knitting, dislikes kazoos (apparently the whistle vs kazoo rivalry is a bloodfeud over a century old, and I am not getting involved in it)

Luna Lindström -> Eric Lexington, SS, likes marbles, dislikes skydiving (I did have to dig out some old marbles to appease him lest he go for a fragile vessel and smash it)

Loopy Gallagher -> Grapefruit Jo, SP1, likes computers, dislikes tai chi (Loopy would be so disappointed that their old vessel is taken up by a programmer)

Gargle Sokolova -> Aubrey Pham, DH, likes collecting dolls, dislikes snowboarding (she stays in the proper vessel most of the time, but in games she likes to hop to the doll instead)

In addition, the manager took off as soon as the spirits arrived and left a note: "Meet me in Bird in Hand." The Bird Like Objects have migrated accordingly!

Okay! The manager has created a desummoning/resummoning circle and has emptied the players' vessels of the players. It is, frankly, a ridiculously janky circle, so the new inhabitants are not here yet. The vessels will remain at the circle until spirits can be found for them.

With this event, the manager would like to announce that the Bird Like Objects will be moving to the Ghastly League as soon as they are allowed to do so. Fitting, I guess.

um.

We made 24th in the Amphibian League, with 58 wins to 52 losses! The manager is complaining about how "these vessels could have done better with different pilots," though, and I just saw it dragging a bunch of ink out into the courtyard while the team was distracted with the end of season celebration...

Gargle Sokolova, likes: teddy bears, dislikes: cryptography, tidbit: "They say I can't ride my teddy bug into battle, but it gets /so sad/ when I leave it behind, I just have to let it come with me. I should be allowed, anyway. Its slower at running the bases than I am."

Loopy Gallagher, likes: bookclub, dislikes: debugging, tidbit: "I've got a lot of programmer friends who are always asking for advice on their code? Buddy, I have no idea what any of that means."

Addison Aguilera, likes: blacksmithing, dislikes: forklifts, tidbit: "I have made enough tiny swords to furnish a tiny army for a tiny century."

José Harrington, likes: mechanical work, dislikes: makeup, tidbit: "👋! 🛠🪛🗜🪚⚙."

Joey Maxwell, likes: fortunetelling, dislikes: bass guitar, tidbit: "I'm an augur, see, and joining this team made it really convenient-- that's why I'm here. Just watch the movements of my teammates and I've got an idea of how the future's gonna go. You should probably be careful in three days, speaking of. Ivy's in the kitchen."

Suzanne Henson, likes: gacha games, dislikes: collecting postcards, tidbit: "Postcards don't usually have anime girls."
