RHODEY'S BLACK OPS GROUP:

I got tasked with getting codenames for the group so we don't end up compromised if our communications get intercepted.

So I'm going by Hawkeye, my usual. Rhodey's going by his usual: War Machine.

Do you have a codename you want to go by? Or do you want me to give you one? This is so cool and official

ETA: Names will be here

So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night.

In all realness, I'm sorry for letting the rest of my shit boil up and taking it out on you. I'm coming back tonight. Is that okay with you?

[ FILTERED TO BLACK OPS GROUP ]
Human traffickers. A group operating out of Nova Scotia. Why Nova Scotia? Guess we're going to find out, but they're trading Americans, so that's why they're getting us involved.

Riggs, Echo, Lance. I want you three out there to gather intel. Flights have been booked for you to go out tomorrow night and you can pick up your IDs for this mission at the Facility anytime tomorrow morning. I'll send you what we already have, but your goals are the following: find out where they are holding those that we're trying to rescue, find out how big of a ring this is, call for backup if you need it, go in and leave the bad guys in a position to be arrested, and save the victims. Standard stuff.

Who is available to work comms? Shifts of ten hours until the mission is done.

Wakanda's place of residence has security measures. Please, for your safety, avoid including it in your pranks.

The Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority has been having some difficulty enforcing their anti-poaching measures, due to a particularly terrible group of poachers. The Zambezi Elephant is in danger, as a result.

Would any of you care to join me to find a solution? This one will be a little more...active than the last project we were on. Margo, I included you because you mentioned you were interested in doing something more with your summer.

Any experienced bakers in need of a job? My demand has grown just enough at Once Upon a Pie that I'll need someone at a part time level, at the very least.

Additionally, half off magical items through the 4th. I recommend stocking up while prices are low.

And if anyone wants to celebrate my birthday on Wednesday, we're gatecrashing the other one.

Getting turned into a deer to be hunted for sport and having to run for my life was not how I wanted to spend my night yesterday.

Sooooooooooo I'm missing the rest of the school year back home now and well, I actually started to LIKE school, so what am I supposed to do now? Is there even a soccer team here? I HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS!

Also where'd all the magical creatures and things go?

MAYDAY! MAYDAY! Someone is trying to force me into a foster home again and it’s not even stupid Captain America this time!! I
told them I already have guardians and their names are Nico Minoru and Chase Stein. Only they said they aren’t here. PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY ARE LYING LIARS WHO WANT TO FORCE ME INTO FOSTER CARE!!!! Chase? Nico? Karolina? Gert? Are you guys here???? Rufus and I need a place to go, so if you could show up so they can SHUT UP that would he nice.

There is not enough alcohol to make me forget the video today's case came up with.

So a local couple in town. Going through a divorce. Fairly typically stuff, I'm thinking, when the wife comes in. Open and shut case, he's cheating. She wants money shots for the court case.

No.

She suspects that he's been putting some of of her things where the sun doesn't shine.

( Trigger warning: Kind of gross. )

Sneaky spy types, roll call.

So, you know how we vaguely run in the same circles share an unhealthy relationship with Clint Barton friends and are therefore kind of friends by osmosis?

Want to do me a favor, friend?

KATE BISHOP

It's really too bad Dean isn't here, I want to see his face when he finds out there's a Harry Potter who looks like he did at that age.

I still have no idea what I'm going to do with this money the portal gave me. Part of me wants to be responsible, and use it to buy a car, or save it for school. Part of me wants to blow it on something ridiculous, like a trip to Disneyland or somewhere I've never been.

The portal sure has a sense of humor.

( cut for image, not an IC cut )

Remember you don't need to bring cash for help getting shit home from the base. I take Venmo too. Cost negotiable, pay extra and I'll carry heavy stuff through the portal for you.

did someone really think at this point in my life i should have the swords again? really? that was a thought.

i'm going to murder myself falling out of bed one day.

i really love missing out on the crazy sometimes. the break is real nice.

I don't know who I have to thank for my narcissistically delicious breakfast this morning, but thanks.

I'm getting low on my medication and you can only smoke so much weed...

It's hard to get a hold of, especially in a world where my sickness doesn't exist. Can any of you science or doctor types reverse engineer what I have left? My brother told me that he took some epileptic meds and they helped him. Maybe I'll just try that.

And asking for more help (sorry sorry, I'm always asking for help)...

My friends, my gang, the Rowdy 3, were psychic vampires. They could stop my attacks by sucking the energy and bad feelings out of me. No one here can do that, can they?

Also, everyone who listened to Marcy and me, you rule.

I imagine someone is growing hungry by now and quite interested in certain pulse points. Speak to me if so. As far as I'm aware, I'm the only vampire here who's actually alive, biologically speaking. Ergo, you should still have a heartbeat and need to breathe.

FRIENDS OF SAM WINCHESTER (NOT SAM WINCHESTER):

8pm.

The Roadhouse.

Bring your party hats, but not really. Just a lowkey birthday at the bar. Enjoy my purple confetti trick arrow. Buy him a beer. He's an old man.

SAM WINCHESTER:

How's the Roadhouse?

I have been contemplating the nature of humanity and bringing back good person lessons. Quite frankly, I thought you were all mostly likely walking trashbags that would give me ample research opportunity for my own personal project I've been working on. And while many of you do in fact do terrible things, I have been humbled. You're not completely awful and your potential for self-sabotage and suffering doesn't amuse me any more like I thought it would.

The problem is you, as humans, are very psychologically fragile. So if I give advice on how to be good for the sake of benefiting you both in the every day and for your eternal salvation, likely it'll be met with the same result as when I gave perfectly reasonable good advice in an effort to make you feel insecure and give into your worst instincts. Reverse psychology is a heck of a thing.

After much thought, I've decided instead to give Bad Person Lessons. I feel this will be much easier to grasp. So without further ado, your first bad person lesson.

Your Intentions Matter.

Now, I don't want to get into a slippery slope of what ifs. Nor do I want to even try and get into the complicated algorithm and point system that weighs each and every one of your actions. We'll just keep this simple.

1. If you do a good deed for ulterior motives (like one-upmanship or a crass attempt to improve your Good Person Score®, for example) than the deed is not really good. Your motives should be pure and you should expect nothing in return for your good deed.

2. Conversely, if you do something bad, it will almost always be bad. But sometimes your intention makes it less bad than it would be if you were acting out of pure selfishness and evil. But only sometimes.

This concludes your first bad person lesson.

I like it here in Tumbleweed so far, but is it always this...hot? Good thing there's a pool here at Asami's house. Well, technically our house, since I'm living here, too. Still feels a little strange calling it that.

As Anka Irene has around the clock babysitters, and I don't want to be a burden on Rogue, I secured a job.

It's not glamorous, but what can be after you were an Avenger? Housekeeping at Granny's Bed & Breakfast.

I feel weird posting publically

Sydney and Prague still look the same, if anyone's curious.

I got palačinky, trdelník and smažený sýr, but I'm not letting them get cold.

JO HARVELLE

Can I buy you a birthday drink? Maybe a birthday burger, if they have those on planet Pokemon? With or without other friends around, whatever you're feeling up for.

(ooc: added in later)
FRIENDS OF JO HARVELLE

We're doing drinks for Jo's birthday tonight, 4pm. Picnic in the Wela Volcano Park. I'm fine gathering food and drink, might need some extra hands carrying it though, depending on how many of you are coming.

We'll probably head over to the beach afterward for the other birthday party around 6 or so, too.

Just for the record: Mantines are amazing, and I wish Tumbleweed had an ocean full of these so I could pet them. They're cute, useful, AND sweet.


Which is probably why we don't deserve them. Imagine the crap they'd have to swim through. When I lived in LA, the beaches were gross half the time with junk washing up.

Still, I'm going to enjoy them while we're here.

Lillie, is there a way to donate money for conservation? Figure if we've got unlimited funds, I should use this money for good.

I've seen more nature stuff and wildlife in this two months than I've ever seen in my entire life. Do you people not like cities??

Someone help me find or trade a cat pokemon here or something. Might as well do it if everyone else is.

edit:
Also, hey, admirer. Find me a cat or don't follow me!

[All Avengers, Academy students, Wakandans, general friends]
Everyone okay? I'm in medical with Misty and Steve but I can get away if anyone needs. (They'll be fine, I am fine.)

We need 2-3 people per residential deck to check each suite to make sure things are okay - no one's trapped or injured, nothing's been set on fire, that sort of thing. Ideally people who are fairly well-known and trusted for obvious reasons, so if you never talk to anyone and lurk in dark corners a lot don't be surprised if I side-eye you being too eager here.

Deck One: Poe Dameron (+Finn), Laura Howlett

Deck Two: Kate Bishop, Sam Winchester

Deck Three: Sif, Ava Ayala

Deck Four: Qui-Gon Jinn, Maria Hill

Deck Seven: Petunia Dursley, Matt Murdock

Deck Eight: (avoid 814) Waverly Earp, Faith Lehane

Deck Nine: Wanda Maximoff, Karen Page

Deck Ten: Laurel Lance, Kitty Pryde


DONE. Thanks everyone.


Oh, and if your prosthetic suddenly stopped working and you need someone to look at it, apparently medbay is the place to be.

I know it's short notice but if I could please crash on someone's couch at least for tonight, I'd really really be extremely grateful. I'll try to switch off couches if it's too much imposition more than one night. Thanks.

Hey, Valentine.

MICHAEL THE ARCHITECH

I didn't introduce myself before, but my name is Sam Winchester. I'm familiar with the celestial beings of my world, and I have to admit I didn't take you seriously at first, but one of whom is also named Michael, but you're [...] quite different.

Anyway. I know transitioning from celestial realms - at least that's what I assume you mean by The Good Place - to Earth can be difficult, but I'd appreciate it if you didn't dole out too much celestial justice. People here aren't done living yet, after all, they haven't reached that point.

Okay, who has healing powers? I can't go into Middle-Earth with a broken arm. I tried to let it heal normally, and it's going fine, but I need to be able to use an Elven bow. You don't understand.

Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobis, you're my only hopes.

Oh golly! This is so exciting! I've never been around live humans before and, well, the rest of you crazy kids, too. This is so great, I just know I'm going to learn so much from all of you.

What do you think I should do first? I've been debating between trying a saltine or wearing flip flops. Flip flops! Can you imagine? Me, an eternal celestial being in flip flops? It's going to be so exciting. I just hope this meat suit holds up okay. I'm certain that as long as I keep out of trouble, we won't have to worry about any kind of cosmic reverberation wiping you all out of existence should it become too damaged.

Oh! Oh! Does anyone have any questions for me? You humans (and other beautiful souls) are always so curious! I'm an architect and I design neighborhoods in The Good place. ;) I suppose I could start by clarifying things that are good, versus things that are bad.

Vaguebooking is definitely bad. Please be careful when using this forum to express your feelings. It's certainly not as bad as murder or paying money for music performed by California funk rock band The Red Hot Chili Peppers but all those little negatives add up, you know.

Wow. Really guys. You just seem so great.

My name is Michael, and I can't wait to meet all of you.

AMERICA CHAVEZ:

Get in, loser, we're going drinking.

It's an emergency.

For the record, pretty sure I'm officially cursed.

So, in terms of our "wedding in every world" agreement, are we counting the ship and every port we stop at one world - since I'm guessing the ship will stay on the same planet, but I guess that might not be a safe assumption, all things considered -- or do we want to count each port as its own world?

Or I could say this another way, and ask if you want to have some sort of wedding ceremony or at least a token of some kind in Atlantis? Since we probably won't be here long enough for any kind of certificate to matter, so we can probably just do whatever is meaningful to us.

Accidentally walked into a champagne brunch and decided to stick around for fun. I am a fancy princess after all.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Sorry to see a big group go back, but if anyone wants to eat their feelings, I have cookies.

[ FILTERED TO LOGAN HOWLETT ]
Hey. I was wondering if some of us could use your gym for group therapy. It's probably going to be a bunch of us just sitting around talking once a week, to get shit off our chests, but we didn't really have a place for it.

YO who's got the red bull and vodka? There's still like three more timezones after this.

I am out of quarantine and have spent the holiday with my half sister, Anka Irene. She is beautiful and I am happy to be part of a family again.

I just need to find a job. Maybe teaching? What positions are open?

[ROGUE]
I missed Christmas Eve at the cabin. Anything good happen?

[WANDA MAXIMOFF MCU]
Forgive me, I was confused and scared.

Your father is being very sweet to me.

The real magic of Christmas is how you can buy what seems like a ton of Santa-themed chocolate but as soon as you actually start eating it it's already nearly gone.

At least this alternate dimension has a nice waiting room.

[Filtered to those willing to deal with Archangel Michael]
Just to clarify, if Michael does do something that warrants action, it's a restrain/detain mission only. Worst case we try to get the tranqs from the military and use those on him and then haul his ass into one of those cells until Dick is back to his normal cheery self.

FILTERED AGAINST ARCHANGEL MICHAEL

So, Michael the Archangel is here from my world. I'm not sure what to expect from him without Lucifer around. If Lucifer shows up, we've got to stop them from fighting and destroying the world in the process.

But this would be a great time for anyone who wants to learn how to do angel wards and banishing spells to come and see me. I also have holy oil that we can use to trap him, if necessary.
