That was kriffing jarring. Thank the stars Triple Zero's just like I left him though: completely turned off.

ANAKIN SKYWALKER:

You better still be here, or I am going to raise some serious Force. I don't know how but I will.

I do not need, nor do I want another rat or rat-like pet, thank you.

[Private to Friends and Family of Fred & George Weasely]

Because of the pirate attack, we really didn't get to celebrate Fred & George's birthday. It might be nice to do something for them while we're here?

Does anyone have any powers that could IDK put some power into a couple of powercells?

ANAKIN SKYWALKER:

Powercell's gone on this thing. I've got a backup that works, but it's going to need charging which I can't do without power on the ship.

BILL WEASLEY:

Powercell's dead on this hand. BRAND NEW STANGING HAND, and the powercell is busted. I'll figure something out, but nothing I'm doing it working.

[TABLETS AND PHONES REBOOT WITH INCESSANT BEEPING]

By now you're all aware that the ship has stopped. It would appear that we've been hit with an EMP, an electromagnetic pulse. Possibly two. All electronics appear to be off, though the network and tablets have been re-established so we can communicate easier. We're not sure the extent of the damage, but backup generators have not come online so those must have been hit too.

Right now, our priorities should be food and getting the ship back up and running. We have no idea where we are in terms of our next port. It could be a day, it could be two. Without food, two days becomes much longer than you want. Potable water is going to be an issue too. While there are bottled waters, we have no running water. On a ship like this, that means toilets, showers, and sinks will not work. They're all electrical.

If anyone has any skills, magical or otherwise, for keeping food at temperatures to keep it from going bad, that would be fantastic. Food storage, including refrigeration and the freezers are on level C. Medbay is on D. A & B are engine rooms, so that'll be fun to dig through.

Those EMPs came from somewhere and for some reason. I don't want to be caught blindsided. If you're specialized in tech, I'd prefer you working on the ship. If you aren't sure what you can do and want to help, patrols are good. Bucky 2 has a current list, but I think we should have more considering.

If you're down an arm or a leg due to the EMP, let us know. We'll try to get someone to help you as soon as possible.

Thursday I'm going to get my new hand attached. Just so you're all aware. In case you want to sit around and be worried or whatever people feel is necessary. I just wanted to keep you informed.

Hi, I could use your help with something.

Assuming no one has a pensieve laying around, can any of you tell me about how they’re constructed?

Nice as this party was... One day, someone will throw a come as you are just have a blast party. No fancy dresses or heels.

BILL WEASLEY:

I have not forgotten about your hand. It's sitting in my living area, staring at me as if to say, "I need to be used! Please set up a time and date with Bill Weasley to schedule the implant surgery!"

So here I am! We can make a tentative date until we know when we're heading to a new port, and if that happens then we can shove it off till after.

Preferred times? Cold feet? Let's get this over with?

It's that time of the year where I jump out of a cake for Remus!

Are you fucking kidding me? I am not ready to Swayze this bitch, so someone better tell me you got a cure all for a case of dead and ghost.

I suppose this just goes to show that there is no such thing as a permanently closed portal.

Today I am 24 years old. Apparently. I don't really know how time works here.

I don't want a party, unless we combine it with Ron's. Happy birthday, Ron!! Double parties mean more cake.

I have eaten two slices of cake today and no vegetables. I'm trying to decide whether or not I regret this decision, but so far, I can't seem to be sorry about it.

This is not funny. I have a very important day ahead of me, and I do not have time for this!

I'm thinking about permanently deactivating Triple Zero when I get home. I've got a bad feeling about him.

POSTSCRIPT: does anyone have any bacta bandages or I don't know, maybe a small jar of it? I can pay you in droid upgrades or mechanics. Or bombs. Whatever you want.

BILL WEASLEY:

Can I give you a hand?

I really hope you get the joke, otherwise I'm going to keep this thing for myself. Someone else might want it.

Alright wiseguy, next time let's try it without the needle.

Can you come over? Are you busy? Aphra’s coming over and I dunno. Hand things. We’re pretending you were here the whole time if she asks. It’s not me being weird.

You know what? Some rain would be nice.

BILL WEASLEY:

I was wondering. Think I could come by today and do some sizing — of your hand. So I can get a general idea for a prototype?

MEETRA SURIK:

Wanna get drinks for lunch? You can meet BeeDee. He's a boring old battle droid with no weapons, but I'm working on getting him socialized.

I’m [...] so I hope my left handed wandwork is not as atrocious as my lefthanded handwriting. Ha. This is not what I was expecting today.

I'm not sure that I'm entirely used to the whole boat thing, but I think I'm more used to it than I was before. I think Fleur would have liked it. Kind of wish

I've been told by these stab-happy spectral people that there are wizards and witches from my world here. George Weasley, you had better be one of them, or else we are turning this boat around.

Stating the obvious aside: we've made another jump. Some of you remember (and would like to forget) the Prettiest Star space cruise ship. This one is on water this time. From what I can tell, it's a luxury cruise ship. Most of what I've seen seems familiar to cruise ships on Earth, but who knows so make sure you're careful until we know exactly what we're dealing with.

Check in on this post and see if your friends are here.

Good tidings, everyone, as we are in the season of holidays. As a stranger in a not-so-strange land, it would be my pleasure to get to know you. Please, call me Gansey, and tell me what it is you love. I do not expect it to be Welsh kings and hidden things.

Also, if anyone could do me the great favor of directing one Ronan Lynch to this post or to the military base, I would be most grateful.

When I kindly inquired as to asking after people, I was graciously told the two of you were the only ones here I would know. Whenever you are next available, I would love to catch up. I suspect there's a great deal of it to do. Adam, if you could relay this to Ronan, gratias tibi.

I'm going back to the Manor.

It's kinda bloody fantastic to be out of those rooms. Not that there's anything wrong with them. They're posh and all, but I never was much one for sitting still. Especially not inside.

Considering that I'm an entire world away from the Cannons, let's get to the other important things:

1) Who is working on getting Quidditch working here? I'm very interested in helping with that.

2) Best pub in town.

I'm sure I'll come up with some other things, but these are probably the most important.

All of you took the extra time to get me up to speed, and I owe you all.

Thanks.

Helena is under the impression that we are having a Thanksgiving dinner. I picked her up from school today and overheard her telling one of her chums that she was so excited because "everyone is in town."

We need to pull together a Thanksgiving dinner. My child has expectations and I don't have the heart to tell her 'no.'

I've done some research and there seems to be a few restaurants that cater for Thanksgiving. I need to call them as soon as possible with a headcount so [...] this is me asking for a headcount.

And praying we can fit everyone into my flat. We'll expand out the dining room, of course, and it should be fine.

CLARA OSWALD & IANTO JONES

Do you two have plans for Thursday? I'm going to have to host an American Thanksgiving. Helena expects it.

So they're telling me this isn't a portkey malfunction, and I gotta say that the bloody States would be quite a portkey malfunction and I'd be lucky to be in one piece but I swear the portkey office is more inept than it used to be, and this isn't France.

Obviously.

But also they're saying Bill's here. So. Bill Weasley, are you here? I thought you were in France. What are you doing here? And what have you done with the twins? Uncle Gideon's gonna tan your hide if you've misplaced them.

If it hadn't been for people telling me I needed to buy candy in case of children showing up to the house, I might not have. I've never experienced trick-or-treating.

Somehow, I feel like these flying monkey things belong on this channel that is constantly playing Halloween movies. I'm really not sure how else to feel about them. It feels the same to me as the movie they have with two guys in a suit chasing down a bug alien.

Oy! What's this?

I don't like being cooped up. Can we have visitors? I'd like a visitor, please. And some Pepper Imps, if possible.

Bill? Quelque chose ne va pas. I was with Fleur and she disappeared. Is she home with you? She didn't tell me she was going somewhere, and I cannot find her.

I do not believe what they have told me. Where is my family? You cannot keep me here!

I am surrounded by dessert and it's probably the best thing that's ever happened. Mum used to stress bake sometimes, which was also my favourite. Basically food is the best part of anything. It's probably my only weakness. Which is a lie

It's days like today that I wish that I would have spent more time actually focusing on what it was my grand-mère was doing in the kitchen while I was younger as I would do just about anything for her chouquettes right about now. I know that even had I learned how to make them, they would be nowhere near as delicious as hers, but I cannot get them out of my mind.

This seems reason enough to raid the nearest bakery, however. Bill, prepare for our home to be overrun with baked goods.

I'm seriously considering taking out a loan for a plot of land. I want to do it with my pal, Rocket, and have it be kind of an everything space. Bit of a farm, bit of a ranch, space for wood working, too.

Now tell me if it's a bad idea or not. And if you'd want to maybe team up with me.

I'm glad even more now that I've lived in Egypt. It at least helps with the living conditions even more than it did before. Also I

FLEUR & CHARLIE

How are you two doing?

Right, so, you all remember that plant we've got back home? Sweetums? Makes all the corn syrup crap? It's definitely here. It doesn't look the way it does back home. Less industrial, really. But the company is definitely here. Huge sign and all. I figure big company like that probably has dozens of factories.

Anyways, we got to talking to some of the workers, and one man was reading a magazine outside. One of the old LIFE ones? Asked if I could see it and it was dated for July 1953.

He told me it was the current issue.

Glad I raided George's shop when I did.

EMMELINE

What did I tell you?

Pardon me. While the welcoming pamphlets were quite informative I would like a bit more information on what precisely has happened to me. Most of all the why. That does not seem to be included in any of the papers or the speeches given by so many.

Situation: The military has taken Rogue (the younger) into custody over a visible use of her powers in helping clean up after the carnival. While this has not been illegal at any point and she was clearly using her abilities in a gesture of good will, tensions in town since Wanda's incident are undeniable. And following Remy's run-in on Monday, the situation is definitely escalating.

We're having a MANDATORY meeting tonight at the mansion, 1930 hours in the Situation Room to refresh safety and invisibility protocols, legal rights, and discuss our next course of action and concerns. We're currently assembling a legal team and will take this fight as public as necessary. We have also invited representatives from other displaced groups to this meeting.

We can't be the only ones noticing the increased tensions between the townsfolk, the military, and superpowered individuals since the "gas leaks" of the past few months, but in the past week, we've had two incidents of our kids being officially accosted for benign if not beneficient use of their abilities in public. The incident today led to our younger member being taken into Military custody where she still is.

This is something all of our groups need to be aware of and be actively discussing. We can't ignore this clear escalation. We're having a meeting at 1930 hours and inviting you lot as representatives of your groups to get us all on the same page before discussing this with the community at large. I think we've hit most of the larger groups but if anyone else needs to be here, invite them.

We're doing dinner this week. Just in case you needed a heads up. I thought about just showing up, but I wasn't sure if you were there.

It looks like I'm free now. I'm actually glad that I used to live in Egypt before all of this or I'd be dying from the heat. First things first is I have to buy some sunglasses and sunscreen.

Well, no. That's second. First thing is giving my brother a hug.

After that is dealing with everything

Still trying to wrap my head around the whole [...] not at my wedding reception thing. Charlie, I heard you were here and that there weren't Death Eaters to worry about.

Is there anything to do while we're stuck in here? I don't have anything to read or focus on, which will probably drive me up a wall. I'm guessing that Fleur isn't here since no one mentioned her.
