Doors

[Darker writing then usual, smudge of cigarette ash. Directly after this.]

J, what's going on, pretty?

[As 'Dazzler']

About fucking time.

It feels like a long time since I have been in New York. I missed it. There is so much going on. I have sent a few out in different directions to get the full scope. They better not get in trouble this time. Who wants to fill me in on anything that happened while I was out traveling?

[In the journals because she still isn't 100% comfortable with computers or "fancy" texting phones (much less smart phones!). Her handwriting has a feminine loop to it, but not too exaggerated.]

Not sure how I feel about that hotel.
And affordable apartments with flexible leases around here are bordering on shitty.
And half the floral designers around here wouldn't know a decent supplier if a fresh dahlia bit them on the ass.

Welcome to being the only friend I have in this city. It ends in bitching and heartache for everyone. Just tell me I'm being too picky about everything and to suck up my pride and deal with it or go back to NYC.

[LOCKED to Sam A.]

Something happened.

[Phone call to Trystan C.]

Ring.

[TEXT to Tess.]

So how many points do I lose for not locking the door?

Anyone got any idea where I can get my hands on a sword? Not one of those display replicas, the real thing.

The man in my head won't shut up about it. Insists I need to learn to 'properly defend myself'.

[Private to Peter Parker]

Peter. Don't know me. Friend of Gwen's. [...] The woman in her head has recently left Las Vegas. This can mean one of two things. Gwen may not come back or (the more likely) she'll find someone else to join with. Either way, you may not be seeing her for a short while. Shouldn't panic.

[Private to Bruce Banner]

Doctor Banner. Want to thank you for helping with Pym. And, Flash. [...] There's another matter that I'd like to discuss with you if you have a moment.

[Private to Maddie K]

Ain left town, presumably to get married off. Going to drink heavily. Be home later.

[After spotting this exchange, which is just about his worst nightmare.]

Locked to exclude Lin A. and Elise D.



If anyone would like to join me and have their drinks comped, I will be ingesting all the tequila that the strip has to offer.

Bonus points if you enjoy karaoke. Extra bonus points if you bring friends.
