I heard about Foggy. Not sure if it's something you want to talk about, but, you know. If you do. Now or ever.

How are the kids taking it?

I know someone who was killed like Emerson.

His name was Aaron Echolls. I don't know if he's a movie star everywhere, but back home, he occupied that Bruce Willis/Kevin Costner/Jason Statham niche that made him rich and beloved by all. He posed with his fans and donated to charities. He also had sexual relationships with sixteen year old girls and then bashed their brains out when they threatened to come clean. Alternatively, he used public sympathy from a recent stabbing (another affair, different affair) to minimize the damage he caused by locking another nosy teenage girl into a refrigerator and setting it alight with gasoline (me, of course. What, did the nosy not give it away?).

Because he was rich, white, and male, and because one victim couldn't speak for herself on account of being dead, and the other could speak until she was hoarse and still be labelled a foolish slut in the public eye, he got away with it. "Not enough evidence". Three words to level you flat, right? It's not supposed to end like this. Parents aren't supposed to bury their children. Truth prevails. Evil's punished.

He was shot after he was acquitted. I have my theories who did it, and I don't care. I hope he suffered. I know he didn't. It was fast, clean, and efficient - an execution.

That didn't make it justice. I saw him for years afterward. I still do I wanted him dead and now he's a ghost in my head, because I was happy he was killed that way. Culpable.

If you're fine with the way Emerson died, great. If you're not fine, also great. Also? No longer relevant. His story is finished, whatever comes out about people who suspected, people who helped, people who tried to stop it from happening. We're always going to be what's left. The collateral damage. We screwed up big-time, friends, now where are we going next? Is murder in the shadows our legacy? Has humanity really been so level all these years? I don't know.

But there'll be a next time. The calendar waits for no existential moral panic. Let's do better then. Let's deserve a system that works to protect us. We can think the world's better off without the Emersons and Echolls in the world. But that doesn't mean we're better for it.

This journal entry of angsty over-identifying is brought to you by the letter 'B', as in B-movie and bitter-like-coffee.

Since I have settled just a bit more, I thought I would ask which of you are also parents of young children? My Ben is just around 6 months and I would very much be interested in getting to know some of you better.

Have you spoken to Jacen any more?

I've been here almost two weeks. It's gone by really quickly so far. Maybe it'll be April before we know it. Or maybe that's wishful thinking.

How many of us here are... gifted, in some way? Enhanced? Special abilities or powers? I was told there's a large number, but I haven't been very good at branching out so far. I know that's not a question everyone is going to feel comfortable answering in public, so if you want to talk in private, I'm okay with that too. I promise I'm harmless.

DAISY, JEMMA, COULSON, MAY:
Maybe I should have gone along with you earlier. More time in that bunker with no windows would've been good practice for what's going to be a long, long winter.
MENTAL HEALTH STAFF:
Hey. I've spoken to some of you already, or seen you around medical. I'm Dr. Campbell, but you can just call me Lincoln. I was wondering if I could talk to one of you. I've been having these dr I'm not sure how many of you have experience with evil organizations kidnapping people and running experiments on them, but someone who knows about that would be helpful. I know that's very straight to the point, and it probably seems nonchalant, but I don't know how else to say it, and my story's already on the network.

It's reasonable enough weather for most of you to be outside for a couple of hours?

I was thinking of making an Ice Rink tomorrow? I can work with the shoes you wear I promise!

A few of us scouted outside after the blizzard stopped. It seems fine. And people should be okay to go out now. I think. But, maybe wait for Command to clear that.

Just, me and Mom saw something really weird. A two-headed deer frozen like a statue and, a panther frozen when it was getting ready to lunge. But, the sense I got from them was that they weren't killed in the storm. There wasn't enough snow on them for that.

Anyone know anything that can freeze an animal like that?

This is insane. This is concrete proof of the multiverse theory and time travel and... God. It's amazing. Completely amazing.


I am so sorry for anything Nathan Drake has broken already and anyone he may have accidentally kissed. He'll probably fix it. This isn't me telling you I'm going to keep an eye on him (haha), just that I acknowledge I have some semblance of responsibility for him and I feel bad that I don't intend to do anything about it. (Hi, honey.)

I'm actually a fan of the cold weather. Never thought I'd say that before El.

May change once the blizzards start, but hey. There are worse places to get snowed in, right? I'll take Mount Weather over Tora Bora any day.

Charlie wants to meet you. He gets that you're not our Elsa -- at least as much as he can -- and you certainly don't owe him or me anything. But would you mind coming by some time to say hello to him? Just for a few minutes. I think it'd help him.

So seriously, post apocalyptic wasteland and we're dragged here in pods.

I guess simple question first, when did the Commies push the big red button?

Not sure what to think about finding my son's dog tags when I know they went with him, along with Striker, to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. Is anyone else bothered by how the hell this is even possible, or are we all just glad?

If whatever is sending us this shit can send my damn dog next, that'd be nice.

What the hell

So, the woman I picked up and hugged and then kissed in the hall was not my wife.

If anyone happens to see her twin, could you let her know and send her my way? Also, older guy. Big mustache. Cigar that stinks to all hell. Send him my way, too, so I can kick his ass.

It seems the Pod God has looked upon me favorably. I believe that is at least one interpretation for how my chess set appeared on this planet. My other working theory involves Romulans, black holes, and the space-time continuum. I don't know that either is truly workable.

Logic aside, should anyone be willing and able to master the three-dimensional aspect, I require an opponent.

I have to admit, when I pictured a nuclear holocaust, [...] this is exactly how I imagined it. Of course, with a lot more bunkers.

And a lot less - what was it again? Interdimesional travel?
