ic notes and random gab

Stark Industries is officially looking to hire so that we can be up and running properly again?. Anybody who's interested in R&D, making the future, et cetera - throw your CV my way.

I'm also looking for people who want to mix powers/magic with technology. Technomages, I guess. They've always been pitted against each other in media but I'm pretty sure the whole 'together is better' thing applies here as well as in general. Cover each other's weaknesses and whatever.

Basically, as a general rule: If you have an idea, I have the technology and money to make it a reality. Just gotta make sure it's a good idea.

This place has an odd energy. It feels like trying to look through a cloudy mirror, you know what you're looking for but the smaller details are harder to make out and you're not sure if you're seeing the whole picture or if it's just the nature of the mirror.

Though, if I'm being fair, it might also be the nature of the painkiller I have been given. The nurse mentioned something about it possibly making me drowsy or having other effects, they seem unsure about what it might do to someone who isn't human. They've been keeping a close eye on me I'm fairly certain it's for more than just the painkillers. I think they're waiting to see if I'll turn blue.

Bad jokes aside, I should introduce myself. I am Jedi Master Aayla Secura. I wonder if one of you could point me in the direction of Master Vos? I believe I sensed him while I was asleep but I can't be certain in my current state.

Also if anyone had any suggestions for where I might be able to stay once I am discharged from the hospital, I would be most grateful. Or even just have some advice on acclimating myself to Preya, that would be great. It seems like I may be the first Twi'lek most here have ever seen, given the way I'm already being stared at. Any help would be appreciated.

So, I'm bored. Incredibly so. I've decided to start offering a tech-building service for the thousands of superheroes that seem to exist here - basically, superhero tech support. If you need something fixing, tweaking or making, feel free to ask and I might even do it for free.

How do you fancy going to a St Patrick's Day bar crawl with me? I'm being bullied into going because I missed the Oscar's party.

Krissy Chambers

Heard you're getting the motorcycle soon. Want me to do some of the protective charms on it like I did for Natasha and Selene? Also, have you decided one way or another about adding on the flight spells?


Natasha Romanoff

I put together a couple of working prototypes of the backpack wings I mentioned before. Selene pronounced them as functional enough for limited distribution if you'd like to give them a try.


Sir Lohengrin

I had started on a set of enchanted armor for Lirael similar to what I made for Lucy Pevensie. Unfortunately, Lirael seems to have left Preya. If you know of a woman warrior who could use such armor, I would appreciate it if you would ask her to get in touch with me as only final fitting still needs to be done.

Also, I have a mare in my stables, smart and sure-footed, who could use a new home. She is well-trained to saddle and hackamore, as I prefer not to use a bitted bridle. Since she is lightly built, I thought she would make some lady a good palfry if you know of one with a gentle hand who desires a horse of her own.

My thanks in advance for your help.

You know, people might complain and rebel less if this were a nice tropical island and not, I dunno, freezing and prone to an occasional blizzard. Honestly, who wants that?

There's already loads of fancy magic that's being waved about. Is it that much harder to make the weather suck less here? No, seriously, I'd like to know; don't know much about magic because we never had it at home.

I have heard that there is a magic school here. Andromeda mentioned it to me. I...may have magical abilities. I do not know much about them, only that I do not wish to hurt anyone. What can you all tell me about this school?

So I guess it's pretty cool I'll be turning 20 a few months earlier than I would have thought. At least I can try and catch up to the other old men in my life.

I was really hoping to go see ABBA for my birthday...it was their farewell tour.

BUT! I did hear that they made a movie based off their songs? I'm totally digging that! Do we have one of those DVD players in the house?

Alright, so I need new music suggestions.

QUESTION TIME!!!!!!!

Asking this for a friend because I don’t condone murder. I’m Canadian.

Who would you need to kill to get a ticket out of this place?

Annnnnd, before I forget to ask…

Is it at all possible to rent a unicorn? How about a unicorn with wings?

Re: Recent arrivals

Gellert Grindlewald.
He's from my world. Born late 1800s, died, murdered, actually, in 1998 in the place where he was imprisoned for his crimes against the magical and non-magical populace, especially during the time of what is usually referred to as the Second World War. Arrogant magical supremacist. Murderer many times over. One of the types who doesn't regret breaking eggs to make his omlet, which was to be a world goverened, benignly, he claimed, by those with magic. Reputation as a magical duelist - I doubt I could best him in a straight-up fight and I used to compete on the International circuit, he is an all-around powerful wizard. I realize Preya is a place for second chances, but... I suggest watching him carefully.

Albus Dumbledore:
Another one who knows he is smarter than you and not afraid to let you know. Revered as a tragi/heroic figure at the end of his life, machinated the end of the Second Wizarding War by exploiting the abilities of children. Some feel, myself included, that his actions indirectly caused the wars. An associate of Grindlewald when they were young. They split for good when their fighting resulted directly in the death of Dumbledore's sister. No telling what might happen if they get together again.

A brief summary. If anyone would like all the details, I do have a copy of A History of the Wizard Wars in my library.

Something else to consider. I am not the only one who knows the history of my world. If these two are planning on taking advantage of Preya for a chance to live in peace, something I confess I doubt in the case of Grindlewald, they may need protection.

Did you know they're giving holiday carriage rides through Everdale? How festive! Richard, could we take one together?

What has been your favorite part of the holiday season so far?

I've really been wanting to enter the tree decorating competition but I don't know what I want my theme to be! Anyone want to partner up?

Anyone else looking forward to Christmas?

[Public to everyone old enough to know Santa exists]

So seeing as Christmas is just around the corner, I've organised a little something at my library for the kids. The library is already getting a bit of a makeover, with trees being put up and decorations and all that, I've got the Christmas stories more prominently displayed, and as Christmas gets closer I'm going to be dressing up as Santa and reading to the kids, because there are some kids here that don't have their parents which is pretty bad. And there are also kids here that do have their families here but I just thought it'd be nicer for them.

So Santa will be coming to the library to read to the kids and hand out gifts. I'm going to be randomly choosing children's books that they miss from home, nothing bigger than that. I know words, I know books, so it shouldn't be hard.

I just thought it'd be a nice thing to do for kids who are missing their families and something for kids in general to have to celebrate Christmas a bit better. I used to do this sort of thing at hospitals, but since we don't really have that kind of thing here (which I'm glad about don't get me wrong) I just want to make sure that they know Santa can come to Preya, too.

Let me know if anyone wants to collaborate with me on this, I'd really love to make this as magical as possible. Pun slightly intended.

Um. Hello?

Trying to getused to this technology. I'm new? I hear peoplehere can practice magic? Theres no law against it?

Any advice foranew person?

I've been here awhile, and I know most of the wizards here are from a certain group. I'm a warlock, or at least that is what we were called - and it's like the same thing, but I have a slightly different type of magic.

Now here's my question - why do some still call me a muggle? I didn't go through life in towers by candle light. I know what an iPod is, and I can use a phone even if I had a magical time out for 20 years. I'm still not a muggle.

Also, I think I just came out as a wizard, or whatever.

What would the best place to find real estate in Ravenmoore be? The Newspaper, a website, or directly through someone in a real estate agency?

I was never prone to boredom until I arrived in Preya. Is this perhaps a normal part of being homesick?

Thor, I've put Frigga in one of my safehouses. She's safe.

Loki knew this was coming, which means that he had a plan to handle it. So he either isn't dead, or has something in the works to come back. We should be prepared either way. Thor - how do you want to handle your sister?

[Loki]

If you can see this, I did what we discussed.

I seem to have caught a chill, and that's always a terrible inconvenience. I'm not going to take to my bed yet, but I'm afraid I shan't be up to any social engagements.

Sometimes Preya seems altogether too small. I am going to make a list of places to visit when it is warm again. Tell me if you have found a spot here that is beautiful, or ancient, or fascinating.

[Richard Summerby and Sharon Carter]

I have a job for the two of you.
