WHO: Ronan & ... you? OTA
WHAT: celebrating St. Patty's day
WHEN: Saturday afternoon, up until ball-ish times, unless people want to keep going, but Ronan's gonna be done by then cause he has plans with his boyfriend.
WHERE: all the bars. All of them.
WARNINGS: alcohol. All else TBD
NOTE: IC/OOC post

So apparently Ronan is the only one who knows how to actually dance a jig (unless someone else does who hasn't spoken up yet!) so he will be spending a lot of time between bars today, and performing dances a lot like this (minus the girl) and this.

He competed in Irish music & dance competitions as a kid, so he is actually very good. (Y'all are just lucky - or unlucky, depending on your point of view - he doesn't have his musical instruments here.) Slightly sloppier as he gets drunker, but still on point. And he will also be whistling along to the music as he goes. And dressed in a costume much like the dudes in that second video, except nicer, because it's Gansey's clothes and Gansey's clothes are NICE.

And even when he wasn't dancing, he had his Irish music playing full blast, with songs like this (he definitely danced to this one) and this and so on, you get the idea. Some of the music was actually done by him or his dad. You're welcome.

Did you try to dance? Did you let him try to show you how to dance? Did you take pictures? Did you drink? HAVE FUN, GUYS.

All you wannabe Irish motherfuckers get your asses to the bar and I'll show you how it's done. Because clearly I am the most Irish person on this boat.

My mother and father were Irish immigrants. Happy St. Patrick's Day, from the most Irish person on this boat.

That ball
Is that your kind of thing
Do you

Just an FYI for anyone who may be curious: the lake in Camelot does not return lost senses.

Can we stay here longer? Because I feel like a week isn't long enough to see everything. Our time here is almost over and I hate that.

voice-to-text

Hey, so, since we're in a place where magic and stuff like that exists. If anyone is working on spells, is there one that could fucking bring back vision?

No weapons off the boat again. This is fantastic.

Looks like I need to learn a new weapon so I can properly defend myself at these ports.

Snow?


ooc: there is, in fact, snow, but currently it's just the odd small flurry that's easy to miss. it may pick up later. there may also be rainbows at the same time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

WHO: Sam Winchester & Matt Murdock
WHAT: exploring the underwater city of Atlantis, or rather, having a conversation in their bubble pod thing.
WHERE: Atlantis, under the ocean
WHEN: a few days into the Atlantis port, so yeah - backdated.
WARNINGS: talking about demons/devils/angels and how they relate to faith... nothing really bad, it's just a heavy topic.

I know you all have just been at the edge of your seats waiting for me to update. I'm feeling mighty generous today and hopefully this will keep you well fed for awhile.

A few nights ago I had the pleasure of hanging out with the coolest little human. Didn't think she'd like me, but I obviously charmed the hell out of her. Who can blame her, right? Prince Charming. Watch out, Johanna. Got yourself a little bit of competition.

She also painted my nails. Here's the proof.

It seems like Sunday'll be here before we know it. How about we have one last big get together Saturday night, somewhere in Middle Earth? Kind of like a last hurrah?

A few days ago, Qui-Gon Jinn made me an offer. He said he might be able to temporarily give me sight. I'm seriously thinking about taking it.

If I do, I want all of you around so I can see your stupid faces. This might be the only chance I'll ever get.

[Private to Qui-Gon]

Remember you told might be able temporarily give me sight? How long is 'temporary'? Fifteen minutes? An hour? Longer?

Happy Valentine's Day to those who celebrate!

I don't come out and say this often, but after hearing so much about Middle Earth, I really wish I could see this place.

I'm guessing the Tolkien books are in the library, although there may not be enough copies for everyone. I have digital copies on my computer - the trilogy and also The Hobbit - if anyone would like to read them on their tablet. Just let me know.

I was also thinking we should screen the movies, if we have them, even though there might be inaccuracies (if we're visiting the book world). Because it might be hard for new readers to get through 3-4 books in the two days before we hit the port.

Warnings: FTB, but very handsy (and smoochies) at the end. I'd say it's very R. They deal with their toxic relationship and then don't deal with it at all.

Hope you're all recovering alright.

Cassie and I talked after the battle and we decided to stay out of that kind of thing in the future. It's one thing to defend ourselves against some shit that comes out of the portal, it's different to get involved in a war between two countries we don't know the first thing about. We don't know the first thing about the history of those two countries, and there wasn't any damn way for us to know. In the moment we all decided to defend Atlantis because it seemed like they were the victims, but we don't know what happened before we arrived, what they might've done to provoke it. Maybe we were right, maybe we weren't.

So, next time we end up in the middle of anything like this, I'll be taking shelter and waiting it out. You all can make your own choices, but I'm done fighting any battles I don't know the reason for.

Okay, I know a couple of people still need to have patrol shifts covered. Let me know here if you do for the next week and I'll make sure you don't have to worry about it. And if you want to take time off from patrol for any other reason, that's cool too. Just say so, so no one is left hanging.

I know some people showed interest in this, so if you're new to this and want to take up a shift or two on a more permanent basis, let me know day and shift time. We can always use more people.

I'll be back at group next week. Peg, thanks for covering this week.

So. I guess I ought to explain myself. Maybe some of you already know, or maybe you caught a glimpse of what I was doing when the ship was attacked. I'm not as helpless as you might've initially thought. The short of it, I lost my eyesight when I was nine when these toxic chemicals splashed into my face. Another side effect was that my other senses were heightened - my hearing, my taste, my smell, my sense of touch. I can get around without seeing, but I still can't distinguish details or colors, and I'm not able to tell what's written down on a page or screen.

I'm not used to telling everybody about this, and the whole idea made me nervous. Sorry for misleading everybody.

[Voice to Text]

Would anybody be interested in being my guide? To take me around and describe the city?

So are the Olympic games to be performed in the traditional "nothing but a rubbing of oil" dress code? Asking for a friend.

(The friend is totally me.)

Karen?

These Hawaiian shirts are hilarious. I'm thinking of adding this one to my collection. Thoughts?

[Voice to Text]

I've got to hand it to the medical staff in this ship. They were able to heal my injuries in a fraction of the time that it should've taken. Before anybody asks, I was in a hit and run accident, and yes, I'm doing much better now. Sore, but better. My name is Matt Murdock, and I'm glad to hear some people I know are here already. It makes things easier. My good friend, Karen, showed me to my cabin where, among other things, a Hawaiian shirt was waiting for me. Karen told me it looks pretty loud, so of course I had to wear it, immediately. I'd like to do a bit of exploring, especially on the upper decks. I've never been on a cruise ship before, much less an alternative universe one.

We've got a problem.

Some recon into Sweetums has discovered that they've come down with a sickness. The symptoms? Purple pustules, green dots, and vomiting. Those of us who were in space, whether we caught it or not, are carriers and we've infected these people.

We've got to come up with a solution from our limited means here.

Piggybacking on Ahsoka, let's use this site to set up a temporary camp. We can't really go exploring now and we need a home base of sorts. Don't use the pods since it damped your powers. But can we organize to do the following?

Set up shelter and inventory supplies

Explore (running water and civilization being essential)

Set up a perimeter security detail around the camp

Tony, all the thanks to you for building this network, by the way. (Jess, Luke, Trish, Misty, Elektra, Karen - you'd better be here.)

[DEFENDERS-verse]

Just got the call that a young woman - Rogue - was detained at the military base for using her powers to help clean up the carnival. No one was injured. I'm going to the base to demand her freedom and act as legal representation.

Karen, call Judge Sanderson. He's from the Hellfire case. See what kind of support he's willing to provide and let me know. If you want to be a legal assistant again, you've got the job.

Elektra, talk to your friends in politics and at the base. See if you can get some concrete whys as to the new zero tolerance policy.

Jess, Luke - stay low. See if anybody has an opinion about Rogue on the streets. I imagine her arrest was not done mildly. Cops don't really know how to be secretive. (Sorry, Misty.)

Trish, what's happening on the radio?

Do you guys hear that?

Sounds like scratching... it's underneath all the other sounds of people thinking.

Except the military people — I can't hear them anymore. Which is nice, but odd. I wonder what they're doing to block us. I didn't know that was possible.

Well, I can now rest assured that New York is just as I left it, albeit in an alternate universe to my own. There were buildings missing with new ones rooted in their place, and not due to rapid construction. Some things were simply not as they ought to be.

This is an absolute nightmarish time to travel though, isn't it? I trust Tumbleweed will be brimming with fireworks and other Americanisms on the fourth. I believe the last time I spent Independence Day here was when I was in university.  Seems like a lifetime ago now.

How noisy can this tiny town become, I wonder.

How does one not go stir crazy here? A batch of film-watching or joining in on the local gossip can't possibly do the trick.

The politicians in this town are as dull as the scenery.

Not cool, bro. I just saw a stack of Billy's Pride posters in the trash near the mayor's office.
