Hello! It is I, Thor, Prince of Asgard, Lord of Thunder, Earth's Mightiest Avenger! I have been informed that this device will allow me to communicate with my allies. I am posting here to let you all know that I have arrived in Asgardia!

The Feast celebrating my return will begin shortly!

I feel like Halloween movies should be mandatory this time of year. Like, they should be playing every night in the common area, with hot chocolate and popcorn and pizza and gummy bears. Because who doesn't love gummy bears? Terrible, horrible people, that's who.

Anyway, this is my long-winded way of saying that I'll be watching Hocus Pocus in the common area tonight, and everyone is invited to come hang out with me. (Especially Billy and Tommy.)

Tell me everyone's here and seeing what I'm seeing. So I know it's not stress related or sleep deprivation.

So I have returned and it appears as if this universe is not finished with me yet. Much has changed since my last foray - some good (traveling to and from Wakanda is infinitely more convenient; I appreciate the ease of the gateway even if Shuri continues to vet my clothing choices before I make the trip) and some not so good.

I have heard tale that the rat responsible for my father's death is among you now. I will have his head on a pike by lunchtime. Do not attempt to stop me.

Marcel Proust once quoted "the real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." There is much to see and learn with these 'new eyes,' so to speak.

My journey has led me here, it seems. To this world, and I continue to have questions. I remember so much but have actually experienced very little. It is a profound disconnect and I hope to do away with this dissonance in short order.

I know this dates me, but does anyone remember that part in the first Austin Powers movie with the chair that dropped Will Farrell down into that room of fire? If not, here's a visual ref.



Ok. Now we're on the same page. Because I really want to find a way to remodel Zemo's space to do this right now.

WHAT THE HELL, UNIVERSE.

I do not know how I suddenly arrived here from the prison in Berlin.

The virtual assistant has been very helpful. Although she tells me that access is "restricted" and I must remain in this "designated space."


Avengers. It has been a while.

I have an important announcement to make.

Steve has decided to retire from the superhero life. He's giving up the Captain America mantle and is no longer living in the tower.

Happy Easter!

Don't forget, tomorrow is half price candy day.

Uhh Hey, I'm Bucky. I guess I'm back here again. Somehow.

[private to Steve and Sam]

What the hell. I'm in Tony's building now? Some other me wasn't staying here before, or was he?

[Loki]

I have questions.

[ooc: will contain wandavision spoilers]

There's been another instability in our part of the Multiverse. The spell net I casted indicates that there may new arrivals, as well as departures. If you notice someone is missing, they might return again one day.

For those that need medical treatment, Christine Palmer is one of those that has disappeared.

Update: I've received confirmation that Thor and Jane are also missing.

I've tried everything I can think of, but I haven't been able to find a way to sleep longer than a few hours at a time. My dreams are so I am welcoming any suggestions.



[ooc: contains spoilers for Wandavision]

We're less than two weeks out from Valentine's Day. If you want to send a gift to that special someone, or to me, or anyone really, Friday is available to help you out if you tell her by the 13th.


[Filter to Tony]
I've been having weird dreams.


[Filter to Jane]
Weird question. Do you think I could get my PhD?

Hey guys!

So here's the reality -- I am your only medical doctor right now. Stephen counts technically but we all know he has horrible bedside manner, and I'm much more approachable. I am worried that in the event of a whatever (which could be anything because reasons), we don't have any field medics. For that reason, I'm offering a first aid course next week where we can go over some basic first aid, field dressings, and maybe amputations for those keeners ;)

Jokes aside, let me know if you're interested or if you have any prior medical experience. I could also use an assistant, nursing or admin, and I'm okay if you have no experience or are still a teenager. In fact, I prefer a teenager because they don't know labour laws yet. Haaaaaa, kidding again. Seriously guys, help me out here so I don't joke myself to death.

Hello there, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Remy LeBeau, born and bred in New Orleans. Currently living the life of luxury in this fine establishment.

Been in Genosha for a while and I can only try to charm Friday so much before I require the pleasure of physical company. Anyone want to show me the sights?

... I wasn't expecting this. Or to be here.

FRIDAY says I am in the tower, yet....I don't know how I came to be here. Clint? Sam, Bruce?

Echoing my wife's announcement, I too wish to extend my gratitude those who aided Valkyrie and helped free me from that prison. Thankfully, I am doing much better at this juncture. It was a truly and deeply distressing experience, and I am not yet able to bring myself to speak of it for overly long. I will say the collars are incredibly painful when activated, and that island is far worse than any dungeon that I know of.

It is rare that I offer apologies, but I deeply regret the circumstances as of late. It was not my intention do ill, nor to lure young Peter into trouble nor any further danger. I do hope the trespass shall be forgiven, and I will strive not to get caught again to do better in the future.

[To everyone who attended Thor & Jane's wedding on Genosha]
I wanted to extend my thanks - I couldn't have succeeded without everyone's help. I can never be thankful enough.

[Wanda]
I owe you a debt that can never be repaid - your assistance was vital. I cannot thank you enough. We are both doing as well as can be - I am sure Loki would love to hear from you. Don't let him fool you - he is worn out and in need of more downtime, but, well, I am sure he'll tell you otherwise.

[Thor & Jane]
Thank you both for letting me use your wedding as a cover. We will have to have a feast when you return - I am forever thankful.

This is quite disorienting. Not the tech, that is very intuitive, but I doubt that one is supposed to travel through time to battle their own family and then through a rift in reality in such rapid succession. I was told to take care of myself, does anyone here know how this is done?


[NEBULA]

I have an infinite number of questions, sister. I will start with 3.

#1. Are you the Nebula who despises me?
#2. Is there actually no way off this planet?
#3. These Terrans, do you trust them?

[To Stark & Banner]

I have looked at the Chitauri weapons you acquired. What do you want to know about them? I will warn you now, a few of them are hairdryers.

[To Pepper]

Do you require any assistance with your work? I'm not as busy as I would wish.

[To Quill & Drax]

Have you heard anything from the fox or the tree?

[To Captain Rogers]

I would like your input on how we should organize an exercise regime for the team.

[To Wanda]

I haven't checked in with you lately. How are you and your sons faring?

[To Dr. Foster]

How are you faring?

[To Barnes]

I'm bored. Is there something distracting we can do? Without compromising your safety, of course. Is there an activity or a place you would like to visit?

[TONY Stark]
» I have some Intel for you

[WANDA]
» i asked if you would help me with my experiment. Are you still willing?

All right, so I'm attempting to teach myself how to cook. I am sorry if I set off any fire alarms. I tried cooking with my hands, but that just burns things to a crisp so I'm using the actual oven. Holy shit it's slow.

Give me your best cooking tips. I need them.

I hate asking - but the longer I sit around the harder this gets. I worry Loki might think I've abandoned him or given up and I have done neither.

Can you reach him and tell him these things? See if he has any clues to where he might be now? I know the legal folk are doing their job but... I think you understand my concern?

I might try something potentially stupid... I need a reason not to

( tony )

( sam )

I was wondering if you had been able to reach Loki at all?

I wish to hit something spar with someone. Combat experience is preferred, but if you have no background, I could instruct you. Group sessions are also acceptable.

I have been working with Pepper's office at Stark Industries to set up a disaster relief fund that anyone can donate to - the proceeds will go to rebuilding homes after the flooding in New York, funding medical care for survivors since most in this country cannot afford the surprise when an emergency crops up, and helping people who were caught up in everything get back on their feet again.

It is simply called NYC Storm Relief, and feel free to get the word out there. Hashtag, Facebook, whichever social media platforms are used. And if anyone wants to contribute that is also more than welcome.

Hello fellow Avengers.

We in New Asgard have been considering what our best option is for dealing with both Loki's capture and the storm caused by Thor's anger in New York. Having seen the news reports, we now understand the scale of the storm and the harm it caused, and the further damage to the Avengers.

We know we often misunderstand how things operate on Midgard and seek advice on how we can repair the damage. We expect to pay compensation for the damages to the city, and wergild for the deaths and injuries. The news reports suggest a rough amount for the damages, though we don't know the costs of wergild under Midgard's laws.

We are also considering what Thor can do to repair the damages he caused with his temper, as well as his punishment under our own laws. He behaved in a manner unbefitting a prince and must deal with the consequences.

We also are direly concerned about Loki's situation, not because we think he has committed no crimes, but because we have worked to rehabilitate him and worry that jailing him will undo the efforts we and he have put toward improving his heart and soul. It is well-known among Asgardians that I have little love for Loki and have often opposed him and even threatened him when he has done wrong. But I have seen improvements in him since his arrival on Midgard. However he is to be punished, we need to ensure that he continues on his forward path lest further ill consequences ensue.

We also know that asking the Avengers for counsel risks the wrath of the Midgardian governments who have named us terrorists. Still, we ask your advice because you are our best hope for resolving this crisis. While Thor and Loki and the Valkyrie and I have acted in the public eye, most of New Asgard is innocent of this quarrel and should not be punished for our deeds and misdeeds. It is our responsibility to protect them.

Last, but not least, it is also important to us to protect Dr Foster, who was only involved in this matter because I called on her to calm Thor when he was enraged. Because she helped to stop the storm and convince Thor to return to New Asgard, she is now branded a terrorist and denied her possessions and her ability to travel to her home country. Perhaps she is even to be made homeless, though she will have a home with us even if Midgard denies her. We ask that even if you cannot help us, you will assist Dr Foster. She is an innocent in this matter and whatever consequences apply to New Asgard sound not fall on her.

Thank you for reading, and for any counsel you may offer. We are further in your debt.

That was dramatic. Even by my standards.

Hi. I'm in the Tower's med clinic. I'm using Friday for voice-to-text posts.

P.S. Don't say anything risque. Or incriminating. She's reading out loud.

P.S.S. If you really want to? That's ok too.

Friends.

I have been lax and remiss in my communications with you all, for which I sincerely apologize.

Rather than message you all individually, and then forget to answer, I thought this easier:

I am returning to Tonsburg. And as I type this, I wonder -- did I remember to even inform anyone other than my brother and his wife that I was no longer living there...

As mentioned before -- I am lacking in my missives.

I have also been lacking in my training and need to get back into this. I thoroughly encourage all potential sparring opportunities. Stormbreaker and I would be appreciative of it.

And as always, guests are welcome and encouraged. Come to my home. I have food. And coffee. And poptarts. And other things. I don't remember all that is in my cupboards. But there is plenty.

I am very tired and probably look it, but I wanted to introduce everyone to the newest superheroes around.

( They already have a spot at Avengers tower )

Everyone meet William Stephen and Thomas Anthony Maximoff, though I have already shortened their nicknames to Billy and Tommy. They were born early this morning and are doing well. I will be in the hospital for a little longer but if anyone wanted to swing by, I would not say no to visits.

Ross sucked it up and called for the Avengers, right after a hairy monster ate almost half of a National Guard unit.

We need three groups, with at least one heavy hitter in each team. Everyone else who can't power punch monsters can help with diversions or rescue ops. Monsters need stopped STAT. If you drop yours, tell us on the comm channel and go backup another team ASAP.

1. Team One: Anyone not afraid of getting wet, head to Pier 25. That's close to the Tower. Besides people in air-tight armor, do we have anyone with a super special surprise talent, like breathing underwater?


2. Team Two: Anyone used to fighting on foot needs to go to Battery Park. For those in the Tower, take the Quinjet on the rooftop and fly there. It needs stopped before it gets into the city.


3. Team Three: We need volunteers who can fly or fast travel to get to the other side of the Brooklyn Bridge. That's over on SHIELD's side and where the biggest mess is right now.

Let me know which team you're on. If it gets really bad, I can activate E.D.I.T.H. to help out.

Dr. Palmer's at Metro General. Take any wounded teammates there, and she'll admit and treat them.

[Filtered to Wanda]

Hey, I'm sure you're busy right now, but I've got an unofficial thing I could use your help with. Shouldn't take too long but I think you've got the right skills and talents for it, and if you don't, maybe you can tell me who does. Could we maybe meet up and talk about it? I'd appreciate any pointers you can give me even if it's not something you can do yourself. Thanks.

ETA: Filtered to Wanda and Doctor Strange

Doctor Strange, Wanda and I need to interview a prisoner on the Raft. She's coming to make sure the prisoner isn't under a magical influence of some sort. In the interest of making sure she's safe, and feels safe, would it be possible for you to open a portal out to the raft, and open a return portal when we're finished? While I'd like to get this done in the near future, it's not so time-sensitive that it can't wait on your work.

I'd appreciate if you'd let me know if you can do this and if so, when you could be available. Thanks.

> I wanted to let you know that I'll be in Seattle at Christmas. Probably not for long.

> How are you? Any problems in this trimester?

Ok, everyone who told me this was a ghost? You were right. I didn't want to believe it. You've all earned the right to gloat.

Anyone want to play Ghostbusters? Team Science, maybe? No crossing the streams type stuff. That containment unit in the movies is probably out of the question too. Maybe we can start finding a way to push it out of the work and living spaces. Create a safe space or something. Ideas?

Also, Steve's gone. I'll be steering the ship. First call? Might want to use the buddy system. At least until Strange gets back.

I have never wanted pulled pork on top of vanilla ice cream so bad in my entire life.

Also, does anyone know a good place to get a pedicure? I can't see my feet but they really hurt and could use some attention.

Holy eff bomb, guys.

I totally forgot about Hallowe'en (Thanks G!).

What are all you losers going as?

I'm going to wear no underwear and be the sexy version of me. It's going to be hot.

Did you miss me?

Went on a food vacation with Fury. Been back a few days but was keeping a low profile and perfect timing from the sounds of things.

We sampled all the food in Greece, Singapore, Pakistan, Thailand, and so many other places.

It was good.

See, I can take a vacation.

I can dig it. I don't know how this happened, and I don't know if I wanna know but now I'm suddenly attracting single moms and we all know they put out, soooooo..

Player shark....

So my sister has reminded me that I have not yet made my presence here known and really you all deserve to celebrate that I am around now. So here it is, Pietro Maximoff for those who don't know me and for those who do...surprise!

[Filtered to Clint]

Bet you didn't see this coming.

Hey people. I'm MJ, Peter's girlfriend friend classmate. Got the whole 'alternate universe' spiel from the weird guy in the cape and Peter filled me in on things.

Any way I can get a peek at some government files? Find out the truth about some conspiracy theories for myself and all. I always knew there was more going on that the people were told.

Some of you know already and I did not want to say anything out in the open until I got to a certain number of weeks, but. I am expecting a baby - twins, actually, as I found out at my last doctor's appointment. They are due in February.

I will be at the cafe for as long as I can be and will be going on missions as long as I can, with the Avengers. I just wanted to say something before it became obvious, and I do not expect to be treated any differently or anything else. I only wanted to be upfront with the people I work with and care about.
