the displaced; ic

There are many tales - both tall and small - of damsels locked in castle keeps and monstrous towers, but I have never much cared for them at all. The damsel should always be able to fight for herself as well, even if it is a battle she can not win alone.

This would be the third such dungeon I have found myself locked within, and upon my release the ire of this damsel shall find a place to call home.

Until then I will continue to sing the yarn of Scarborough Fair.

[Everyone But Celes]

What’re some fun date ideas for couples in Tumbleweed? :)

[Sam Wilson (616)]

I killed it.

[Hope Summers]

You ready to go back home? I can't get anything done here anywa

[Raven Darkholme]

We need to chat.

[Albus Potter]

Can I get your help with magically securing another property?

EMMA FROST:

I've been thinking. We should really hash this stuff out because I need you to know exactly why I'm still pissed, and I think you deserve to have someone be completely honest with you. I realize you don't care what I think so take this with whatever grain of salt you will.

I can forgive you for messing with everyone's heads into believing that Scott was still alive. Grief does really stupid things to people, and I understand that. I can even understand going to war with the Inhumans, if you truly believed they were doing it on purpose and just didn't care that their mist was killing us.

What I can't understand is that you kept pushing for war, even when you found out that they had no idea and were working with us to find a cure. That you spent that year creating Inhuman-killing Sentinels after knowing exactly what it's like to be hunted by them.

You and I have very different ideas about what's right and what's wrong. We always have. You've been willing to push things a lot more than I ever will be. There are some lines that I won't cross. I need to know that you're not going to do something like that here with these people. The Displaced, Avengers and all, are all we have here. I won't have that jeopardized.

If you can promise me that you won't do anything like that here, then I'm willing to be civil.

ILLYANA RASPUTINA:

Hey, so the new Wolfenstein game came out. Wanna kill Nazis with me?

Whoever left this damn fur ball on my stoop get your flameo ass over here here and get rid of it.

Attention celebrators of Bonfire Night! I will be hosting Bonfire night at Ronan's farm, and I've been told the go-karts will be running that night as well.

Johnny Storm has graciously agreed to light our bonfire with himself, and I would love it if we had one or two magical types (I'm looking at you Albus) could ensure that the fire itself won't scorch or burn anything in the area. We're not looking to start a brush fire that destroys the town. If there's anyone magical or fireworks-inclined that wouldn't go amiss either.

The only thing missing is a chill in the air and a hot apple cider. (Rest assured there will be beverages and snacks. Volunteers for this would be lovely as well.)

Great. Really getting tired of your shit, multiverse.

Hopefully I’m not a particularly disgruntled menu item this time? Because once was enough for anyone.

I was about to announce to the scant number of you who might care that I enlisted with the military just the other day, but that isn't half as exciting as the box I found at my door today.

Has someone been gifting pets?

The old Steve and Bucky can't come to the phone right now.

( ooc just pretend they're not obviously at a con )

It's still felony kidnapping if I bribe them with candy to hang around, isn't it?

[Violet]

Feeling better and ready for Friday?

I'm not sure where this creature came from, but it is adorable.

If it's not one thing, it's another. Does this place ever get a break from strange things happening?

Great.

If you haven't seen Gremlins, now would be a good time.

I don't know why everyone is so worried. My little guy is adorable.

IANTO JONES

Did you wake up to a Mogwai on your door step?

POTTER RESIDENCE

We need to all meet in the kitchen before we had out for school. Have either of you opened your packages yet? If not, please don't until we can discuss what they are.

[Text Messages to Sherlock Holmes]

>> What are these boxes? Have you ordered something?
>> Did you see Clara's post about bonfire night?
>> Let's go together?


>> JESUS CHRIST! What the hell was that??!?
>> It's too big to be a rat!
>> There's another one!

Someone needs to take this little beast today before I have it humanely euthanized tomorrow.

THE COTTAGE

All in favor of making Quentin take care of the Mogwai say "I"?

Seriously. Fuck this. I'd rather have a Furby.

If you've been sent a furry, large eared creature, then for God's sake, please follow the instructions on the box! Don't get it wet, and Don't feed it after midnight. The consequences of doing these things will be nothing short of disastrous for Tumbleweed and all her residents.

I'm thinking of creating a containment area for people to bring their Mogwai to keep them safe. This is a catastrophe waiting to happen.

Okay but - when does "after midnight" end?

I've been informed that these cute little creatures are the subject of a thirty-year-old horror film. 'Tis the season for mischief and all that. Though gifting potentially dangerous creatures en masse does seem a bit over the top for a holiday prank. I've switched on the film to find out what we're in for exactly. Is it meant to be a comedy, or should I not be laughing?

[TWELVE & JACK]

Do we need to establish House Rules regarding the Mogwai or have you both pawned yours off on someone else already?

i am not alone in receiving a box, long with it's inhabitant, i see. i must ask, considering it's adversity to light, if anyone knows if these critters are tied to the twilight realm? i understand if this might be a foolish question.

How do I make them not come here

From what I gather on this network, strange things happen often. I'm actually kind of glad I'm stuck in here while the current situation is going on.

Of course they turn evil, why wouldn't they? Any ideas where they came from, or if it is tied to last month's costume debacle?

Who left a furry thing in a box at the door of my flat? It's kind of cute. And does anyone know what happens if you do break one of the rules?

IT'S ADORABLE! I'm going to name it Alastor!

[John Allerdyce]

Did you see the bonfire has a place now? Are you going to go?

Did everyone get one?

[Sherlock (elementary)]

If I bundle this thing up tight so it doesn't get exposed to light, can I bring it over so we can look at them together?

[Bucky]

Are you keeping yours?

[Sam 616]

Emma Frost says I'm a Nazi punk.

Happy Halloween everyone. Not that I actually ever celebrated it at home, we'd heard of it but it wasn't a thing in England when I was a kid.

Much prefer Guy Fawkes night though. Do we do anything for that here?

Totally going to make some hydrophobic clothes for my Mogwai. And probably prepare for some Gremlins just in case.

[Text Messages to Kätzchen]

>> Do you know what day it is?
>> Besides Get a Gremlin Day?
>> It's Hit the Halloween Shops For Discount Props For the Play Day!

Aw c'mon. Not cool.

I just wanted a nap. Not another inter-outer-upper dimensional roundabout ride.

Why is sleep the enemy?

This is great! Someone delivered a Mogwai for me! For anyone else who got one: Don't feed the little sucker after midnight!

So far, both of mine are behaving and playing nice.

This little creature is rather charming, I will admit.
But I have a feeling with these instructions, there's more to them than meets the eye.
I'm grateful that I have my cellar.

I wonder how Newt Scamander would react to one of these little creatures.

Winry, did you get one of these creatures too?
