the displaced; ic

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.

Blimey! We're really on a cruiseship, are we? This is absolutely brilliant. Is there anyone around here who is an expert on the inner workings of one? The only one I've ever read about was the Titanic and that had a particular tragic ending.

And these devices? Bloody brilliant. You don't even need a Dictaquill or a wand!

Forgive my lack of manners. I should probably have first introduced myself on this. My name is Arthur Weasley. I come from London, but I have been told that London is not anywhere near here.

We went to the Misty Mountains today. The kids loved it, said it reminded them of Wolf Valley where our home was in our world. I'm not surprised. It's a beautiful view.

And I don't just meant the scenery.

[ FILTERED TO ANGELINA WEASLEY ]
I love you and it's going to be okay.

Hello! I don't know how I got here but I'm looking for a very large herd of red-haired folk that I call my family. And if any of them ask... no, I did not get here via apparition, because, no I still haven't passed my apparition test.

Okay. I need people to come with me so I don't have to drink alone and feel incredibly sad. I was going to try to make this sound less sad, but at this point, I'm pretty sure there was no point I am excellent company. The more the merrier. Please

Hermione's here. You probably saw. [...] When Angelina came in from before you, how did you two handle her missed time?

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

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

[TW: discussion of death in comments]

Filtered to George Weasley

Hey, husband. I just noticed on the calendar that there's a late night activity for children tomorrow night. What do you say we make ours someone else's problem for a while, and you can take me for a night out?

VOICE TO TEXT

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.

Filtered to all the Weasleys and their little pockets of extended friends and family:

Back home, trying to get all of the Weasleys into one room is a bit like trying to herd bees. I've been told that it's not much better here. Worse even, owing to a large extended family of friends and relations. Still, I thought it might be fun to try to herd the bees, maybe down to the mini-golf green. A couple dozen children and adults, food, whiskey, and golf clubs. What could go wrong?

But, seeing as we are about to pull into the Lost City of Atlantis (really, what's that all about?), looks like the proposed clan gathering will have to wait. What do you think, though? Any interest?

All right, Lip Sync battle. I am feeling this in my soul today. Who is coming with me?

Where'd you end up?

How's your family?

[ FILTERED TO WIZARDING WOLRD GROUP ]

OI, WIZARDING WORLD PEOPLE. My wife and kids are here and they are amazing, so you should come meet them now that I'm done hogging all of their attention. That is, if you haven't already. Especially you Weasleys and extended family! Get on that, will you?

But there's something else we need to discuss that's been brought up by one of the other groups here: what to do if things go wrong on this ship. I've offered to put wards up at the school the kids are attending because that's going to be the designated safe zone for all non-combatants, should the need arise. The woman organizing that asked if I could get all of us together and figure out how to disperse our skills so that each level of the ship is defended well. So head over here and if you see a deck that doesn't have a magical person on it defending it, slot yourself in. I figure each person can defend whichever floor their room is on and if you already see someone there, go up or down a level until you don't.

I'm shite at planning this, so do what you will. Just lend a hand.

Also, ANGIE, I need help with the wards. Perce? Lend a hand too, yeah? You got the brain for this sort of thing.

I know we got the patrols set up and I've seem some talk here and there from people wanting to figure out what to do in case something does actually happen, ship being attacked and all that. But did we ever come up with an emergency plan? Cause I'm kinda thinking it might be a good idea to do that.

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.

I don't know if it was just the exhaustion of the time jump or because these pillows are magic, but that was one of the best sleeps I've had in a long time.

Good news is that I still have my broom and my pygmy puff, Effie.

Fɪʟᴛᴇʀᴇᴅ ᴛᴏ Hᴀʀʀʏ Pᴏᴛᴛᴇʀ

Are you feeling any better today? Feeling up for some exploring?

Evidently, I won't be allowed to cook here. Everyone is getting more jumpers.

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.

Not to seem ungrateful for the broomstick and the handout and all that, but this Father Christmas bloke sure has a hairy heart. What in the bloody hell kind of gift is this?

( photograph... )

Tell me some of you lot fared better?

I think I can hear myself think finally.

I don't suppose anyone would be able to help me install a bathtub this New Year's Day? Maybe someone who can figure out how to expand a bathroom a couple of feet while they're at it?

[Filter: MARGO HANSON, ELSA BLOODSTONE, ALICE QUINN, VALKYRIE AND REY]

Ladies, it was delightful to bring in the New Year with you.

Santa brought me the most delightful whirlpool bathtub, which I'm going to check out just as soon as I can get it installed, but if any of you want a luxurious soak in the future? I can probably be convinced to share.

[ FILTERED TO MAX GUEVARA ]
Hey, thanks for inviting me out to the ball last week. I haven't had fun like that in awhile and it was nice to get out to do something that didn't end up in drinking until my liver protested.

I should've notified everybody earlier, but I've been busy settling in. I'll be staying at the cabin with Charlie the Seeker (as opposed to Charlie the Dragon Reserve Specialist).

Am I the only person here who has an owl?

[Private to Friends and Family of Charlie Weasley]

The 12th is both Charlie's birthdays. Has there been any discussion yet as to how we're going to celebrate? Cake, of course. And maybe some of that Christmas flavored ice cream from Fortescue's?

[Private to Molly Weasley]

Remember we were doing to have that discussion? Charlie's cabin has such a nice kitchen, I'd like to try my hand at cooking. You wouldn't happen to have Greta Catchlove's book, Charm Your Own Cheese?

[Filter: George Weasley]

Hey, so. I know you said you have a wife back where you're from, and so if the answer is you're not interested, that's cool.

But I'm planning on going to the Winter Formal thing, and I figured, if you were planning on going, maybe we could go together?

If you're interested.

Alright, like my brother mentioned last night, we are organizing a toy drive to benefit a few local non-profit groups and some families.

We have wishlist tags that are child-specific, with three items listed on each. We are also taking general donations for children ages 6 months-16 years, and gift cards for parents.

Wishlist pick-up/Toy Drop-Off Location: Pier 4, address. Johnny and I can also come to you if needed.
Deadline: December 20

All toys should be new and unwrapped. We have one person to help the two of us organize the gifts (thanks Max!) and could probably use at least one extra pair of hands, if not more. Monetary donations are accepted, but really we're looking for toys and clothing the kids can unwrap on Christmas morning. The money will be divided and given straight to the organizations, likely going to Christmas meals.

If you're unable to go to a store, that's fine. You can order items and have them shipped directly to us, just indicate whether it's for a specific child or not.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

OI. Those of you that showed interest in Quidditch and need to learn how to fly meet me at the pit. Today. 5 PM. We need to make sure you lot aren't going to be crashing into each other during games because you don't know the basics. Because as wholly entertaining as that would be, that'd be an entirely different kind of sport than Quidditch.

The following have shown interest in some sort of game league going on. If you have interest, speak up, so I know who to send try out invites to when we get this up and running.

I need sweater sizes.

I am free from my mandatory staycation on the army base and have randomly been reacquainted with my owl. He apparently came through when I did, though quite frankly I would have preferred the magic portal send my future wife instead of a bird. Just for the record.

Anyway, having an owl is rather pointless in this muggle world, but in case any of you are feeling nostalgic for some magical mail, he's at your disposal.

This is a catastrophic breech of the International Statute of Secrecy. Is MACUSA aware of what's going on?

Minister Shacklebolt will come to know about this!

This muggle device is brilliant it prints out everything you speak into it like some kind of self writing quill rubbish at punctuation Ron Weasley reporting live from what can only be described as a muggle boredom chamber right now how do you get it to stop immobulus no stop Merlin's tits

It's funny, cause it's one of my haunts at home, but it's not because there's an easy way up to it, or there's some fancy restaurant or anything like that. It's pretty crazy barren, and like a lot of the rest of the city it's more or less been left to just... go.

But I think if I'm still here next summer, I'm going to go see the Space Needle when it reopens. Cause, I might prefer it my way, but it's kinda cool to maybe see what it might have been without the pulse happening.

[Filter: Alice]

I may have picked up too many drinks for the refrigerator. There was a sale. I went crazy.

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.

Emmeline has already filled me in on why I am in quarantine. There is no need to explain that part to me any further.

HOWEVER.

What is all this? Who brought me here? I NEED TO GET HOME TO MY CHILDREN.

I have a four month old at home and she needs her mother.

FILTERED TO HP 'VERSE

Hey, I just wanted to give you all a heads up that Molly just arrived. She's quite young too, I'm guessing she's from shortly after she had Ginny because she mentioned her infant daughter.

She'll probably write something here soon, but figured I'd give you all a warning first.

I know we're not suppose to draw attention to ourselves here, but if I were to ward a field away from prying eyes, you lot think I could get a game of Quidditch going?

All interested parties, let me know.

Edit: CHARLES, give me access to your pit.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that I've got my feet powered bike here, but I think I'm going to start saving up for something with a little more umph to it. I'm missing my other wheels pretty significantly.

I'm also, and I never thought I'd say this, but kind of missing Seattle weather. There's something about mist and fog and rain that feels weirdly comforting.

THE BURROW

I'm going camping. I'll see you all later.

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY

I'm going to be on the land for the next few days working on the greenhouse for our side of things. I just wanted to give you a heads up. How's the house coming?

I'm sure I'm not the first to say this, but I really don't fancy being locked up. Even if the room is nice.

I hope I'm using this correctly, they said I should use this to find people I know. So this is Ginny Weasley checking in.

My name's Harry Potter and I'm looking for anyone who might know me. I could use a visit. If we're allowed visitors. If not, I'd like a crossword puzzle.

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.

KYLO REN

And what would you like to do for yours?

Freedom! Someone point me in the direction of JJ's and then the nearest bottle of good (free!) whiskey.

I've definitely had better mornings, but you know what? I've also had worse so today isn't as bad as it could be.

WEASLEYS+, front and center! I'm told there's a few of you running around already and I need a distraction from the fact that I feel like a potions experiment.

So here's the thing: I asked for these "margaritas" Charlie boasted about and he thought he needed to teach me how to use the internet while we were drinking them. Let me tell you, he did not need to teach me this. One minute, everything's fine and the drinks are good and you're wearing actual clothes that aren't Weird Sisters underpants, and the next minute you're reading surprise details about your former DADA professor's family jewels and you can never unknow this information. The internet is basically the Knockturn Alley of the Muggle 21st century. Why did you do this, Muggles? Why?

I'll try very hard to forget by the next time I see you, Professor. The next margarita might help.

Nine days in Texas. Clinging to that whole "I'm hallucinating" thing isn't really working out anymore so I guess I'm actually in Texas. Also true, Parkinson's still an asshole. Just spent two hours listening to music that the natives seemed way more into than I was. Anyone need fifteen boxes of trick wands?

Hey, Freddie, I think we let the Ogden's sit too long. I'm hallucinating Texas. Or maybe that's just the 'special' part of special reserve, eh?
