Hello dear, have you had any water in the last hour? Please drink some more. For your health and well being. It's incredible what has happened here over the time we've worked on the portal. I have enjoyed it immensely, and you are an incredible magician to work with. It is with no harsh feelings that I wanted to let you know I will be resigning my position with the Bureau. We never know how much time we will have, and I want us all to choose carefully what we do with the gift it is. For me, the time has come that it means working elsewhere and on other magics. I wish you only the best with the portal, for I know this work is meaningful and valuable.

Filtered: FNRB Leadership

Thank you all for the work you do. It has been an honor to work with you. I am rendering my resignation, for two weeks time. Though you may always call on me during the emergencies we face as a community. Sincerely.

I know we all must think of what we want for Christmas, especially from the portal. I am tempted to request more of the wine I cannot otherwise come by here (not even piracy can help us there, Bard). But I wonder about the practice of New Year's resolutions. Has anyone begun thinking of those? Have had good ones in years past? Have kept one (and which one?).

AVENGERS COMPOUND

Is there some sort of eviction process I should be aware of? The Hulk Bruce was sorta my ticket into this place.

I'm sorry to hear about those who lost friends and loved ones in the most recent disappearance.

How often do those happen here? While I'm happy to see my friends, and a version of my brother who doesn't appear to be up to his usual tricks, I am eager to get back to my is it mine? I think it might be stolen ship with the last of Asgard's People.

Is there a schedule perhaps?

Since the other day, the portal has gifted us some other items. Nothing appears to be quite as personal as the VHS. Our staff has gone over them and we cannot find anything mysterious or magical or problem-causing them with.

Well, except the weird swamp bird things. They're just annoying.

• Dozens of plastic hour glasses. They only do one minute intervals though.
  
• A whole bunch of horror-inspiring taxidermy animals.
  
• The aforementioned swamp birds. They are ridiculously stupid. And apparently livestock so if you want one or more, come get them. Anakin called them nunas.
  
• Some white balls the size of an apple. They have turned Nebula into a piglet when she dropped one. If anyone can help with that, it'd be appreciated. I really need my guard back.
  
• Toeless rainboots which are, of course, useless. But if you want the material, it's yours.

The Bureau will be open at 8am tomorrow if you'd like to pick up items. Please, for the love of all things, take the nunas.

STEVE ROGERS MCU & AHSOKA TANO:

You two up for a mission? Juticalpa, Olancho, Honduras is on our list of places that might have had an attack. I need you two to go down there, ask questions, snoop around. You know, the usual recon stuff. Up for it?

FNRS LEADERSHIP:

Anyone have any idea what this is about?

BUCKY BARNES PH:

Go. Do what you need to. We're good here, and I really appreciate you sticking around.

NAPOLEON SOLO:

Were you expecting a painting?

Thankfully, I seem to be formed once more. I'll be pleased to get back to work now. It's hard to tell if the worms are excited or disappointed.

KEYLETH:

Would you mind coming in for an examination. We're not sure what kind of wolf attacked you, and we'd like to make sure you'll be okay.

NAKIA + JUSTICE OF TOREN:

I need the pair of you to head to Tumbleweed General Hospital where Keyleth was taken. We need to collect all the blood samples and paperwork they did on her. Go in as CDC agents, make up a story about a canine influenza, and collect everything. Bring it back to Drs. Chakrabarti and Moore.

I need a headcount on who is still cursed and who isn't. Especially you, Fort Neill.

Beware of the woods. There's a wolf and it attacked me.

SABINE WREN & CABLE:

Guess what?

I'm sending you to Pie de la Cuesta, Guerrero, Mexico. In January 2003, conspiracy theories say there was a suspicious chemical spill that left the town evacuated for several months. Conspiracy theorists suggest otherwise. A lot of similarities to ours and Paraguay's "chemical spills."

Fort Neill Resettlement Bureau Management,

It is with regret that I turn in my two week notice of resignation as receptionist. I shall place an advertisement over the Network for the position, and will gladly train the replacement. Thank you very much for the opportunity to work with you, the experience was amazing.

[Private to Nadia Van Dyne]

Effective immediately, I shall be resuming my former duties as Mr Stark's butler. I've given the Resettlement Bureau my two week's notice, and shall be moving into Mr. Stark's mansion. Mr Stark has been told that I am your guardian, and is perfectly alright with you moving in, as well. It will be a bit of an adjustment, especially for the next couple of weeks, but I do not intend to shirk my responsibility to you.

Hi. Howard showed up. I'm not dealing with that very well. Wrote you two letters, but they got rambly and too honest, so I burned them. I love you two, but I gotta take off for a little bit. I won't be gone for too long though, but take care of Han and Kap while I'm away, yeah? I'll be in touch. - Disregard. Staying.

Not dealing with Howard being here very well so I'm taking some time away. I know it'll be hard, but don't do anything stupid while I'm gone. Disregard. Staying.

For people going after those that were taken, we've managed to acquire a cache of cold iron 9 mm bullets courtesy of Sam Winchester and Fen. We've got enough for a clip for everyone, so it's not a lot but enough for defensive shots. If you want some, lmk and I'll get some to you.

I could have stayed in Cupertino.

I can't invent protection against something we know this little about.

[Avengers + Anyone Who Lives in the Avengers' House]

As you may recall, I'm outnumbered at home and have no backup. Which is fine when I'm around, but I don't like leaving the kids alone in the house. Especially not with things as crazy as they are around here.

FORT NEILL RESETTLEMENT BUREAU:

Some of these people on the arrivals list for Paraguay are names I remember from the space cruise. The people and beings who got on board at a few of the stops, the ones who gave most of us that space pox.

I need searches down on these names. Dig as deep as you can.

DAUGHTER!

Update on the situation in Paraguay:

Proper channels have failed as they consider this now a chemical spill. I'm taking a small team down to do reconnaissance. We'll keep you informed.

PARAGUAY TEAM:

We're going in. We've got Alice making a portal for us so we don't have travel time, and we can get inside the city without road blocks. Most of us will be going in as United Nations Environment Programme's disaster division inspectors. That should give us enough clearance for anywhere we want to look. We'll recon the area around the base and determine when we can get in. Your covers are included in your paperwork. Try not to start any fights.

[This includes: Peggy Carter, Justice of Toren, Clint Barton MCU, Nakia, Bucky Barnes PH, Sara Lance, and Steve Rogers MCU. It also includes those at the base helping out. Check the OOC post for more information.

So as you saw on CNN, there's a situation in Paraguay. It does resemble the attack on the Fort Neill base in the last 90's. The Bureau is looking into official channels to speak with anyone on the base or anyone with any knowledge of the base. This is a very precarious situation due to an international military being involved. Please do not attempt something on your own; you could jeopardize what we're trying to do.

The Bureau will keep you as updated as we can.

We'll reach out when there is a need for assistance.

FILTERED TO T'CHALLA, OKOYE, RHODEY, TINA COHEN-CHANG, SAM WILSON (616), CAROL DANVERS, KATE BISHOP, CLINT BARTON (616), SIF:

Can you guys be on call in case we need backup at the Bureau?

We don't know how many people might end up needing to go. We don't know if we're going to be attacked again, but I'd like to make sure we have people on our side. Those of you with bigger powers — looking at you Danvers — may end up stationed at exits just in case it gets by everyone else. If you've got suggestions for others, let me know.

FORT NEILL RESETTLEMENT BUREAU:

We're working on negotiations to get down to Paraguay to see if we can get inside that building, take a look at the fresh scene and what it looks like. I'm not going to lie, if it's anything like the aftermath we found here, it's going to be a bloody mess. If your stomach's a little on the light side, let me know. Do not compromise this by whining. I will not hesitate to fire you if that happens.

Anyone with computer experience, I'd like to get you all working on grabbing every image, video, and audio leak we can find. More than that, I want to look into other potential military bases getting hit with strange and sudden shut downs. I want all of them, even if they've been decommissioned in a property ceremony.

BUCKY BARNES MCU:

I'm probably going to need a raincheck on that vacation.

Letting people know, I'm going to go away for a while to get my head together. Try to get in touch with the Other Guy and come to some sort of [...] agreement? Compromise? Reconciliation? And I can't do it here. Too many distractions, especially with the randomness the Portal pulls. I've notified the Bureau to let them know I'm taking the time off. Not sure exactly when I'll be back.

I'll have my tablet with me, so I'll still be able to keep in touch, but I don't plan on being online a whole lot.

Favorite snack foods, go.

I'm going to keep this simple and to the point: I'd like to join the FNRB. You'll find I have an immense set of skills from my spy work with the War Dogs of Wakanda.

FORT NEILL PORTAL STUDY TEAM + PEGGY CARTER & IANTO JONES:

Once upon a time, Howard Stark had a system in which he figured out how to determined who was coming and going in relation to the portal. It saved a lot of guessing work for the others.

I've noticed an uptick in people wondering who disappeared, and I think we can figure out a way to replicate that system. I'd like you all to work on this system as a first priority so we can get this up and running as soon as possible.

We'll use arrivals for our own records, and to protect the privacy of those who arrive. They may not want everyone to know they have arrived, but I believe departures could trigger a notice that goes to all phones as soon as we know.

So how about it, guys?

Attention: anyone with medical training.

We're in need of nurses and doctors to be a part of daily staff. For normal vaccinations and arrivals, nurses are really what we need. However, we don't know who will be coming through the portal and with what kind of injuries.

On-staff medical doctors are desperately needed. We could also use this as a Displaced medical center as well. We have a quite a few who have superpowers or mutations who would not be interested in having their blood out there for anyone to look at. We also have some non-human beings here as well.

If you're interested, please message me.

How's your schedule looking for next weekend?

If anyone here is short on food, please do reach out. We have more than enough to feed ourselves and can assist others. The Botanical Gardens are looking much better, thank you to those responsible for that. Given a little more time, they will be open to the public for a fee. There will be a discount for those displaced. If you are considering opening a business here, we do have some shops that may be able to fit your needs or be renovated to do so.

Filtered: Magic Users

While one of the bus routes does run near Station, I am interested in seeing a form of more instantaneous travel between Station and Tumbleweed set up. This system should be accessible to those who do not use magic themselves. Would any of your magic be amenable to that? What compensation would you be interested in, in return for that work?

Greetings. I have read about your renewed need for portal guards, and I am interested in joining the Fort Neil Resettlement Bureau and serving on one of the 12am - 6am shifts. I have experience serving in the military, a good portion of that spent on guard duty, both in and out of active combat zones. Thank you.

No no no no

TELL ME yesterday didn't really happen and I'm hungover for a HAPPY reason and it was some post-toon fever dream or some kinda Ghost of Hanukkah Future thing? Is this because I screamed at the sky that I didn't get to keep the whole cartoon angel/devil-on-shoulders? AM I BEING PUNISHED?!

TELL ME I DIDN'T PANTS ANYONE AND NEVER WILL EVER AGAIN?!?!?!

We're back. Did we miss anything?

I can't say I'm particularly disappointed to be back to myself. Being a cartoon was definitely a new experience and not as bad as some previous experiences, but I rather prefer to be the less drawn version of myself. The worms have not stopped commenting on it since it's happened. If they were more like Jeebs, I might have shot them in the head, but they don't grow back so well. Oh well. Might have had to make my own coffee if something happened.

All of my clothes shrank. :( I only have my SOLDIER uniform, and it smells like cedar from sitting in storage. I've been sneezing all day.

Turning into a lego has made me a master builder

FORT NEILL RESETTLEMENT BUREAU:

All right, guys. I need a headcount of my portal guards on who is affected by this latest portal shenanigans. I'll need to know if you think you need someone to temporarily take over your spot while this is ongoing.

This message is in regards to Loki.

Loki is convinced that the only thing that has been keeping the Avengers from ganging up on him was Thor. With Thor's disappearance, Loki expects the Avengers to come after him (lock him away, kill him, what have you).

I have my own opinions on the matter, but I want to know what yours are, including, hopefully, a general consensus from the Avengers.

[Natasha Romanoff]

Not sure how many short you are for shifts with new disappearances, but I wanted to let you know if you need me to pick up any extra shifts, I can manage it. Not overly worried about social appearances. I've got my shift tonight, but if I need to stay over or come back for anything, just let me know.

Shit, okay, so Tony had a memory upgrade and with it a horrible injury. Stab wound by a large blade, piercing all the way through his abdomen, coming out the other side. Internal organs are likely to be damaged. Tony's got his nanotech to close the wound and stop the bleeding, but he needs immediate medical attention. We don't want to take him to a local hospital, because how the hell are we going to explain this?
