Las Vegas Network

Starting to feel like my weekly warning, but be careful out there everyone. Men in particular.

[Avengers]

Weird as it feels to form this sentence, just stopped a mermaid from drowning a man. We might need to set up some kind of perimeter here.

At first, I wasn't sure what to make of some of the holiday gifts I received. Two were rather sentimental, and one was something that proved useful prior to my being here. That I've gotten one here is a bit... interesting, to say the least.

Now, to find somewhere to work on my dancing skills.

[NATASHA ROMANOFF]

This place gave me a photo of you.

[NATASHA & WANDA]

So, are we all set for our Christmas?

[ALEX UDINOV]

Get anything nice?

Where I am from it would get bitter cold and only it would snow two or three times but always they were my favourite days. It would be so quiet you could not hear much. I do not think I would ever see snow in desert, but I am happy it is snowing now.

[ Bucky & Nat ]

Мы также будем праздновать Рождество, как в России, так? Это близко к тому, что мы празднуем в Соковии.

Who would have thought we'd see snow in the desert?

Avengers + Friends

Back in my day, Christmas was a family affair. Buck and I think it's only fitting, then, to invite all of you up to our hugely overdecorated condo for Christmas dinner, drinks, and It's a Wonderful Life, a movie I'm given to understand is a holiday classic that's almost as old as me.

I've never been big on the American holidays, but I suppose this year I have no choice.

I am relieved to be awake again, and returned to all of you. Despite my sudden absence, I have enough knowledge and understanding to believe that I was directly responsible for what has transpired these last few days, and I am sorry for that. Rest assured that it will not happen again unintentionally, and you are not in any danger from me. I am sworn to protect Earth and its people and that includes all of you, regardless of where you originally hail from. That being said, I imagine that some of you may have questions, and I will do my best to answer them.

[AVENGERS]

I do not even know where to begin. So much has changed, my friends.

[LOKI]

You faked your death. Again.

[Avengers, James Barnes, Peter Parker & Loki]
Has anyone heard from Thor? I texted him about having meat for his tiger and got no response, so I went by his room and it's locked. I debated whether or not I should let myself in, but that wouldn't be the polite thing to do.

Thoughts?

[ASTRID]

Thank you for the evening the other night. It was very enjoyable.

[STEVE ROGERS, NATASHA ROMANOFF & WANDA MAXIMOFF]

I've been having terrible dreams of late. I believe it is an omen.

I suppose I'll have rig up some sort of swan-friendly enclosure for Alexei, since he's made his intentions to stick around clear. Apparently the weather here is favorable, and he feels I still have quite a bit to learn.

It's nice that the internet has a lot of tips on swan care.

MJ's elephant is gone but Charlotte is still here. Did anyone else have their animals stay?

[NATASHA]

Вы когда-нибудь пропустили зиму?

It's funny - I was annoyed about Alexei and his continued commentary on certain personal areas of my life, but now I'm thinking he might be right about one or two points.

I just refuse to tell him that.

Does anyone else find their animal to be a bad influence?

I am so fortunate that my uniform is here! It's a bit much, I know, but it is surprisingly comfortable and it oozes confidence and righteousness, don't you think? You know what this place doesn't have enough of? Flags! Good old trusty stars and stripes! God Bess America!

[OOC: Skitty has granted permission for Loki to steal Rogers' face. XD]

[Private to Avengers]

We've got a lot to be thankful for today. I was never much of a cook myself but I know if Tony were here he'd suggest we all go out so, I guess I'm stepping up in his stead.


[Private to Bucky]

Public outing? Feel up to it?

Has anyone else noticed their animal companion attempting to give them advice? Mine seems to think I've gotten away from doing things I enjoyed in my youth, and I'm unsure of how to feel about that.

[Avengers and Avenger-adjacent types]
How are you all doing with your creatures?

What is all of this?

[ Steve, Natasha and Bucky ]

Please tell that this is some kind of joke.

I have been here before but I have no memory of it.

[STEVE ROGERS]

We've got a new roommate.

[NATASHA ROMANOFF]

Looks like I'm in a similar boat to you.

[ALEX UDINOV]

You like animals?

A swan. I don't know how to feel about this.

I'm reminded of my time in the Bolshoi Ballet.
