I still do not understand the electric slide, but the dance was very much fun. Thank you to everyone for the dances.

Would you like to come painting with me? I will have snacks. I always have them when I leave, just in case.

The only way to get to Wonderland is with one of the beans, isn't it?

[Filter: Flash]

Thanks for inviting me last night. I hope I didn't do anything too ridiculous

I've never really been to a party like that I don't think.

Watch out for holes. Wonderland is full of them. Like really big, can hold several people kind of holes.

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

Ginny's gone. I'm sorry.

I look forward to getting off the ship and stretching my legs. It'll be good to explore again.

I honestly wish I could take Charity and Modesty around this place. Not that we really got to read much in the way of fairy tales growing up, but it's difficult to completely miss those stories.

[Family & Friends*]

Where are you all planning on going? I'm ready to get off the ship again.

[ooc: if you and credence talk, probably you're included]

I think I'm going to start wearing a hat. Just to change things up a bit. Need to decide which one, though.

Not a fez. And not one of those cowboy hats.

God, I'm bored. I wish the TARDIS was here.

[Friends*, but not Credence]

I have a question.

If you like someone, what do you do? I know tell them, but I am not sure what activities would be appropriate to suggest. He is athletic. He was part of the Assassin Game, but I don't think he is an assassin. I have looked up what that was, so I don't think so. I cannot find books on dating, though. Most of you have dated, though. I thought you might have good ideas.

[*ooc: feel free to assume]

OK. It's possible I bought too many souvenirs.

[Filtered to Friends & Family]

There's too much stuff to bring to dinner. I can drop it off at your cabins.

I suppose it is too much to ask that there is a non-headache inducing explanation to all this.

Optional* Magic** Survey***

*As in, please don't bother messaging me if it's secretive and you don't want to discuss. Just don't discuss? That's fine.

**Replying to say you have no magical ability or contact with magic where you're from is equally unnecessary.

***Feel free to respond publicly or privately. Private answers will be held in confidence.

1. Do you have the capability to use magic or regularly come into contact with magic? Is there a title you prefer like wizard, magician, psychic, etc?

2. How would you describe the nature of your abilities? For example, is it over a specific element, do you have a particular discipline or scope?

3. How do you manifest your magical abilities? For example, do you use a wand, hand gestures, spoken word, magical texts, spell ingredients, a combination, or none of the above?

4. Are you willing to share your magical knowledge or be called upon to come to someone's aid? Do you have limitations to how much help you're willing to provide or information willing to share?

5. Is there any interest in forming a group, council or coven to continue this conversation?


Thank you for your time.

The trees talk!! Their bark is so tough not even an axe could break it! And they're even really trees, they're LIKE trees, and they're shepherds for the trees these other creatures that can move and talk to trees but aren't Ents and they all look after the forest. They're so tall and beautiful.

I'm getting nerd shit everwhere.

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

I think I have liked this birthday more so far. Only it makes me miss Mr. Ollivander. He was not here to sing to me this year. He said he would try to be there for the next one, but I suppose it’s hard to plan for this. I will pretend he is here in spirit.

Is there likely to be a sea monster at this Middle Earth?

[Added filter to Albus Potter]

I don't know if Would it

If I needed a place to watch the Lord of the Rings films with a frie someone could we do it in the suite?

Any artists around? Apologies if I missed any similar inquiries, but I'm looking for either ship offered activities related to painting or sketching, perhaps even sculpting though my experience there is limited, or models to draw.

There's only so much dancing and drinking that can be done before it becomes monotonous.

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

FILTERED AGAINST MARGO HANSON, MINORS & MAGIC STUDENTS

Next Saturday is my very dear and beloved Margo's birthday. As we are currently at sea, with no known trajectory or schedule, planning an evening of celebratory indulgence is immensely difficult. But I have never been one to look at an obstacle and give up. We will celebrate and it will be a worthy celebration.

The question I pose to you, fellow travelers, is who among you would like to help celebrate High Queen Margo's birthday? I know she has made friends among you. And, of you friends, who is comfortable dancing in a crowd?

Perhaps shirtless?

Thor of Asgard, I look to you specifically.

As her oldest friend I can assure you that an evening of drinking, dancing and surrounded by shirtless men is exactly how she'd like to celebrate.

FILTER TO MAGIC STUDENTS( not an in game cut )

Who: Credence Barebone & Luna Lovegood

Is everyone all right?

Also, who has excellent healing skills and/or Skelegrow and can help me out with my arm?

CREDENCE BAREBONES & LUNA LOVEGOOD

I know my family is having the party for my Grandmother later this week, but I was thinking perhaps we could try to fit in dinner tomorrow? Just us and Helena?

KITTY PRYDE

Kitty, are you free this evening?

ANGELINA & GEORGE WEASLEY

We need to orchestrate a play date.

Well, now that I have wet my whistle and settled into this lunacy, I'll deliver a proper introduction. My name is John Henry, friends call me Doc, and I am very pleased to meet any and all acquaintances. Preferably at the nearest watering hole if I may be so bold.

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.

Some of those stores are selling those hawaiian shirts so I bought this one. I'm not sure what the pink things maybe some type of tropical chocobo but they look fun. I might hafta get a few more of these. They're super comfortable.

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.

Thank you for allowing me to see the fireworks, Peter Quill. They were very pretty.

I will be let out of this room tonight. I look forward to seeing the place I will be living in.

I know there's snow on the ground, but school's ending soon, shouldn't we celebrate? Who wants to play football on Friday? We won't keep score of points. Two teams... and they should have creative names. It should be the kids that are actually in school, but adults can participate. And no, we can't do Avengers vs. X-Men.

[Both Buckys, filtered separately]

You okay? Yesterday was the anniversary. Well. You know.

I hope that this holiday season everyone is careful about their mistletoe. It is a place where Nargles like to stay. I suppose they might say that this place doesn't have Nargles or Wrackspurts, but we have come here and who knows what has possibly come with us. They can turn invisible, so it isn't like anyone would know. They aren't bad, just mischievous. They usually like to take left shoes and socks, so if any of them go missing, that is why. Don't worry, though. Even lost things have a way of turning up again.

I have made crowns out of muggle fairy lights and the fake flowers that muggles seem to like so much if anyone would like one. I have charmed mine to glow blue.

Right, so the heat isn't really putting me much in the Christmas spirit, but it is December, and the Cottage didn't come with Christmas trees, so I'm wondering who wants to help me Christmas it up on Monday?

[Credence's magic group]

Credence, were you tired this last lesson? Your obscurus tends to try to do magic when you're tired. Sometimes also when you're not focused enough.

[Teens, Laura, Ororo, and Remy]

Alright. Party details.

Night of the ball.
At the EPS school.
Fancy dress NOT required.

Questions?

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!

POTTERVERSE

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.

Kinda weird to think next week is my birthday.

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.

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.

This place isn't the absolute worst. I'd like it if Terra were here, though. I could use her for "girl talk". That's the correct term, isn't it?

Who: Credence Barebone & Luna Lovegood
When: Backdated to Sept. sometime after this.
Where: The Albus Severus Potter residence.

(  Luna was easy to talk to - if for no other reason than Credence never felt like he had to pretend to be something he wasn't with her. )

Dinosaur skeletons are our friends. We don't hurt our friends.

I missed so much work this week.

T-minus nine hours until I'm supposed to get out of here. I need to stretch my legs, I'm very antsy.

That was unusual. I have never turned into anything I wasn't before. Not even with Transfiguration.

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.

I'm thinking of heading over to the gym if anyone wants to join me for a spar or a workout buddy.

What in the bloody hell...?
Hello? Where's Don when I need him?

Filtered to the Wizarding World
Hello? It's Myron Wagtail.
Is there anyone here that went to Hogwarts or Ilvermorny?

Credence! I have finished your panther hat. Now we will be able to wear them to the games.

I am trying to decide what to bring to school for lunch. Apparently school lunches are not very good or so I have been told. Something about chewy pizza. I think I will miss Hogwarts meals.

Albus, can we do a Hogwarts inspired meal for dinner tonight?

So whose looking forward to the game tonight?
