The 100; a panfandom game

I was kind of disappointed that there wasn't one of those dolls that looked like me. I guess the Pod God's not impressed. Oh well.

[Phoebe Halliwel]

So...hi. I guess I should introduce myself. I mean the real me because I don't think we ever actually met before. I'm Hikaru Sulu but most everyone just calls me Sulu. Also, all the plant stuff was real. I have a degree in botany but I'm a navigator on a starship, here I work in the greenhouse.

It's spring so that means it's time to start thinking about landscaping your yards and getting new plants. So come down to Game of Thorns and talk to me, we'll see what we can do.

Did anyone actually get to meet a pirate yesterday? I didn't and I was disappointed.

I know I've been pulling some short nights of sleep trying to get stuff ready for the season, but I wonder if I'm seeing things. Certainly didn't expect to see an old brig with sails come into the harbor while I was repairing traps. Seems a bit early for either the tall ship festival or the tourist sailing cruises.

Since I have my fencing gear now, I was wondering if anyone else here was interested in the sport. Or practicing sword fighting in general?

As much as I love sabacc, I'm equally intrigued by all the other card games people know here. Hence, I'm thinking of broadening sabacc club to a general card games night. Bring your favorite card game and we'll have time to learn knew games and folks to break up into small groups to play a few different things at once. I know there was talk of poker, 500, and a few other games as well.


(Also, I now have a mini sabacc table, so if we can convert the power source, you can see the changing values in action versus freezing their value etc.)

I am truly grateful to be out of medical quarantine. I do not know any more logical ways to teach a toddler how to sing "happy birthday." Jim, if you require a serenade, I know a very well-qualified child.


Minerva McGonagall

If you are amenable, I'd like to introduce my 3-D set at this Thursday's chess club.

I don't know how or why, or who is responsible, but thank you to whoever made it possible for me to have access to white chocolate mochas again.

Is there anyone who is especially skilled at growing mystery plants? Perhaps even magically talented? I have a handful of seeds, but I know next to nothing about plants. And very little about this plant, to be fair. But I would still like to have more of it. I can show you what the leaves look like, if that helps.

So I was wondering if you were going to the dance thing tomorrow night?
I thought if you were, we could go together or meet up there, whichever you'd rather do.
I'm going to attempt to wear the skinny jeans since I won't be sitting down very much.

I picked up a pair of those jeans that the Pod God dropped the other day. Apparently they are not designed for sitting down.

Dr. Ravi & Nurse Claire, a huge thank you for the seminar. Very informative and much more engaging than anything medical provided back home.


On a different note, I think there are a fair amount of us who used to fly or pilot before we came through here. Would anyone be interested in getting together, comparing specs of what we flew and the tech involved and seeing if there's any possibilities for that sort of thing here?



[Spock]

So, did you learn anything in the sex ed seminars? Because I have a list. Should we compare lists?

Hey February second, that's Groundhog Day right? I remember they showed that film back around when I first got here.

Are there actually groundhogs here?

[Filter: Mom & Dad]

I'm going to the class Dr. Ravi's teaching. Just so you know.

Hey.
I wanted to see how you were feeling, hopefully you haven't caught what's going around.
I've been lucky so far.

[Animals & Agriculture]

I've been asked to take over for Neville as second-in-command for our department. I'm not sure how many of you know about my history. I was the leader of what we called "The Farm" back home, which was the home of all of the animal Fables that couldn't afford or didn't want a human glamour. We were not only self sustaining, but we also provided the Fables in the city with all of their agricultural needs. I guess you could say I am uniquely qualified for the job, which was why I was asked. I'm taking 24 hours to decide though because I don't want to take over a department that doesn't want me at it's head. Did that once, wasn't fun. So, speak now with your objections or forever hold your peace and all that.

When you have a last name like mine, you expect people to know of you before you show up somewhere. So I suppose it didn't surprise me much when I got here and people knew who I was. But that's not quite the same thing as watching a version of your life that everyone has referred to. Although, personally, I would have made some different editing choices.

[ Star Trek ]

Yes, I watched it. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I wasn't ready to see Nero torturing Pike on the Narada. Pike never said how bad it was. I won't stop you from watching it if you want. And if you want to watch it together, I'm okay with that.


More than anything, it made me miss our crew.

I'm sorry to lose Neville. The greenhouse isn't the same without him.

Thank you everyone who came to the first Chess Club last night. I hope you all had fun. Freddie and I look forward to seeing you all again next week.

And, just to remind anyone else. If you like chess, or are interested in learning. We meet every Thursday night. And happily give lessons for those that want them.

And, the last Thursday of every month, we'll have a tournament.

I think I want to go and collect some samples outside. Maybe grab some pinecones and then maybe make a snow Angel. (The brow would be hilarious).

What I really want to do is have a long, hot bubble bath, but since there's no bathtubs and no bubbles, that's not going to happen. A hot tub would be nice too. I just can't quite get warm.

ANGEL, FLASHES, ROCKET, GROOT:

Rocket, I know you and Groot can't at the moment, so sorry. I just wanted to include you cause I can.

Does someone want to take over on Illyria duty while I'm there?

So, after everything that's happened and given the sheer quantities of snow we have around here, I propose:

A SNOWSCULPTURE CONTEST

Tomorrow [Sunday, Jan 3] seems as good a day as any. Everyone's welcome to participate and I was thinking of a space theme, mostly because I want to see everyone build a snow model of their spacecraft/ship if they have one. But, this isn't a hard and fast theme. Just guidelines. Basically, an invitation for everyone to come out and have fun. If I can swing it, there may even be prizes.

So, who's in?

[Spock & Sulu]

1. At what point should I stop keeping a captain's log? Never?
2. There's someone here who looks like Uhura. It's weird.
3. You two are helping me build a kick ass Enterprise for this contest tomorrow.

As much as I miss space, I really am glad I'm getting the chance to work with plants. It's always been a hobby and now I get to do it every day. Can't beat that.
