Betty's gone. She must've disappeared overnight, since I just spoke to her on the phone yesterday evening.
In case you're worried, I'll be alright. I'm upset, but not in that way.YetI could go for a bit of distraction, though.
Would you care to join me for dinner? I'd come across a passage in one of my books, which I'd like to discuss with you, regarding magical theory and application in our shared universe.
I had heard that this week is the time for cookouts and celebration for your country's freedom. I know I had told some that I was excited to see how this would turn out [...] however, I must rescind my plans to join as I had said I would. I've taken ill recently and I wish to spend these days in the comfort of my castlewhile it's still here.
From what I've heard, however, cookouts seem to be a thing over the next two months anyway, so I will be glad to join when I'm better.
So, should we like - I dunno, try to meet once a week or something and talk about findings? That sounds like a professional thing to do.
FILTER: NEBULASister. Are you around?
FILTER: PETER QUILLWhile you were out, I finally opened the gift I received from the portal.
I want to give Sif a gift. We were discussing birthdays and when I asked her when was hers, she told me she doesn't remember. I celebrated a false birthday not long ago because Earth time and Altean time is very different, and so I felt like Sif deserves something special as well. So I come to you for suggestions since you have known her for far longer than I have. How shall I treat her?
Since you all know more about Earth than I do, if I was to give a special woman a grand treat to make up for any birthday we may have missed, what are some of your ideas?
I would like to start a business. I have been reading up on it on the internet. I thought as a successful business owner yourself, you could walk me through the process you went through to get started?
Would you be interested in an apprenticeship? I thought after our discussion at the party you might be interested in the art of bladesmithing.
I'm pretty much screwed. Something just came through the portal for me, or rather for the Other Guy - the armor he wore when he fought in those gladiatorial games on Sakaar. The Other Guy got so excited, he wants to emerge, but the power dampening field inside the Bureau is preventing him from coming out. I can tell he really wants to, though, and it's pissing him off. But it's also doing a number on me. So until he calms down, I'll be hanging out here.
Can somebody bring me a pillow and blanket? A toothbrush and a change of clothes would be good, too.
It may interest you that the Eye of Agamotto has arrived for me, today. However, no matter how much I try, its powers have been nullified.
Whatever agency that brought us through the Portal and has the ability to constrain an Infinity Stone is indeed strong.
