I'm sure someone here has experience with demolitions or arson?

Fuck fuck fuck. The hotel is here. FUCK.

I'm lodging a complaint - no one's thrown a party in awhile. Someone fix this.

[ ETA: FILTERED TO TMFU ]
I'm heading out of town this weekend with Quentin and possibly Margo. I've made some ready to eat meals and they're in the freezer. Just pop them into the oven, the times for how long are on each container.

I'm Eliot. I understand you've already met someone who shares a strong resemblance in name, face, and hopefully an excellent taste in vests and alcoholic beverages. Some of you have been here for some time, and I am hoping you can help me.

This isn't my first time being pulled into another world, or my second, or even third, or forth, and so on. Some of you have also been pulled into other worlds which may or may not have been purgatory like before ending up here. I'm trying to get some information on my friends? They might have mentioned a Hell Hotel? Hotel Kairos?

Paul Rovia, aka Jesus
Castiel
Claire Novak
Gretel (yes, that one)
Negan
Judith Grimes
Rowena Ravenclaw
Godric Gryffindor

Just looking to see if anyone else made it out. Any information you might have would be deeply appreciated.


[Eliot's Homeworld(s)]

So, hello. I've just spent the last two years in a semi-sentient, murderous hotel. How're things?

[Quentin Coldwater]

Jesus fuck, Q. Except not literally. Are you my Q? Were you at the hotel? Please tell me you made it out, too. I'm still in quarantine.

[Margo Hanson]

Bambi?

I found us, Julia.

Me
You

Seems pretty legit.

For everyone else if you’re curious, there’s the whole playlist here

Alright, Tumbleweed, anyone out there do freelance webdesign and/or graphic design?

MAGICIANS + KYLO

Right, so, I want to go to Mamma Mia but I'm willing to be a good friend and wait for Bambi's return before doing so. In the mean time, who wants to go to Across the Universe in two weeks?

[Private to Quentin Coldwater]

It's now or never. Hey! Are you busy this weekend?

Lorna Dane was one of them beeps. Hopefully back there ain't as much of a mess as it usually is for us but I ain't too optimistic about that. 80/20 on if'n we're back to going extinct or not.

[Napoleon Solo]

Can we hang out just the two of us before I head out on this family vacation trip later this week?

Not quite what I was expecting to find when I came down to use the pool, but I understand the impulse.

( not an ic cut - an armadillo, chilling on a pool float )

Texas has such peculiar wildlife.

Napoleon, since you insist on following me everywhere I go with this international marketing campaign, some thoughts:

1. I'm pretty sure Gillette paid for that mustache.
2. If you can punch the air and make that noise I will pay you five whole dollars per fist to see it.

Edit: If you would like to see Napoleon attempt to punch the air and make sound effect noises, ten dollar minimum buy in. Proceeds go to a local no kill animal shelter. Comment to leave your pledge.

We return bearing gifts!

Technically we returned last night.

And most of the gifts are wine from Napa Valley.

But that's not the point. The point is aren't you glad to see us?

ELIOT WAUGH & QUENTIN COLDWATER:

You get anything out of Alice? Or should I go in guns blazing?

MAGICIANS:

I'm going to be heading out of town soon to help stop some poachers. I'm planning on researching the hell out of some warding spells to protect those elephants, but I'm willing to take any suggestions.

This week we are selling The Hoth. An iced white mocha, that is neither as cold as Hoth, nor as white as it, but I don't come up with these names. I think they're inspired by the place across the street.

Quentin, has Alice said anymore to you about her little secrets?

FILTER TO JULIA WICKER

I'm using your spell. I thought you might want to know.

I have never celebrated the American Independence Day and I never thought that I would. I never anticipated living in America. But, as the saying is - "When in Rome". Or in Texas, I guess.

[FILTERED TO TMFU]

How is the road trip?

Do you ever go to look and see if there's a fan t-shirt for something in your show and find yourself disappointed that no one has made it? I feel let down a little. I guess that means I'm going to have to design this shirt on my own. Or ask someone else to do it. Either way.

First an Elf. Now I've got one of the Fae proclaiming his love for me.

Anyone know how to turn one down without offending them?

I keep hoping I'll look up and it'll be tomorrow I miss my

Freeform is showing Disney movies. It's been a pretty good distraction from basically everything. It's also reminded me how long it's been since I've seen The Lion King.

DM to Quentin Coldwater

I wish to ask you something that is of a rather sensitive nature.

[ooc: during the party]

I am apparently very terrible at poker and there are far too many pictures to prove it. If I was likely to be embarrassed by this, I would probably be a lot more concerned about the possibility of blackmail. Honestly, this probably would have gone over well at Brakebills.

This one or this one?

[ FILTERED TO TMFU ]
Gaby, I'm stealing you once school is over for a road trip. I promised to show you America and I'm going to be a man of my word.

I just wanted to say thanks to those who were able to come out today and a real big old thanks to Napoleon and everyone who was able to help him with set up. Ya made for one real happy one year old today.

Is next Wednesday good for coming to spend some time with the kitten?

[Filter: Selina, Quentin, Bucky (PH), Padme, Credence, Damon, Eliot]

The kittens are of an age where they could leave Millicent within the next week or two. If you want to come by, we can arrange a time. I know some of you have been by and may already have bonded with one, but if not, I hope you will get a chance to come and spend some time with them and figure out which of them you might be closest to.

Probably sometime next week, the week after at the most, and you can take one.

[Selina & Eliot]

Have you found a more stable housing situation?

[Leia Organa & Han Solo (Canon)]

I got memories.

And Ben's lightsaber.

I need a recommendation for a vacation spot. Any suggestions?

The party is coming to you and Anka Irene. If you have any serious objections, now is the time to make them.

[ FILTERED TO GABY TELLER, ILLYA KURYAKIN, BETSY BRADDOCK, BOBBY DRAKE, QUENTIN COLDWATER, & KURT WAGNER ]
I need your help.

Miss Anka Irene's birthday party was suppose to be for this Saturday. I'm afraid Rogue's not going to be comfortable having it here in Texas any longer because of He Who Must Not Be Named. So the party's going to go to her. I need some assistance moving all the necessary items out there and to help decorate.

Erik's back.

He don't remember being here before.

If'n ya need me, don't.

We'll be back whenever I'm good and ready.

Everybody meet Napoleon! He looks just like his namesake, doesn't he? What an uncanny resemblance.

[There is zero context given to the video Julia has posted to the displaced network. It appears to be vertically filmed cell phone footage of older Tony Stark shaving his goatee to this song. Tony's voice can barely be heard over the audio, but Julia added subtitles: "There's a very real possibility that underneath this is just another beard." She's trying to hold in her snickers behind the camera.]

While I realize that many people here already know how to fight, there may be some who are looking to learn new skills. I am teaching sambo at Howlett Gym. If you have never heard of sambo, it is the Russian martial art. I am 1953 Soviet champion. Mostly sambo is learning how to disarm another person, to get them to the ground and subdue them. Very effective self-defense.

This video has some good examples of sambo techniques. If you are interested in the class or want to learn more, do not hesitate to ask.

Did you see the car that the portal gave me?

( cut for image )

Do you think that all three of us can fit into it?

I can officially say that flying on a broom is the best thing that ever happened to me this week. I mean, I may have almost slipped off my broom like one time, but that's Totally better than Harry Potter World. Like seriously better. Universal has nothing on this.

I received the Truth Key from the portal today. [...] If everyone is in agreement, I thought maybe it could be kept somewhere safely at the cottage in case any of us need access to it for any reason. Sound good?

ATTENTION

As you may or may not know, The Pit has been under construction for some time now. Due to the delay caused by our Ocean Cruise, we've just recently finished construction on our dedicated Quidditch Pitch and are almost ready to received visitors.

We will be opening our doors, so to speak, on Tuesday May 29th at 8 AM. However, we invite everyone to come out to the premises on Sunday May 27th. We will be having an open house on that day so if you've never seen Quidditch in action or how a broom flies, you can come get a glimpse ahead of time. We are planning on a full day of pickup games and will be showing everyone how the game is played should people need explanation.

The Pit is user friendly and if you've ever had a dream of mounting a broom and taking to the air then we are here for you. While we have rental brooms available for all Wizards and Witches, we also have brooms specifically designed for use by non magical patrons. That's right. You do not have to have magic in order to participate.

I've provided a schedule of what we currently offer here. There will be lessons available beginning on opening day and ideally, once we have enough interested people, we will begin to have weekend matches in the near future.

Thank you.

I need one more instructor. Does anyone have interest in teaching flying and would like to interview with myself, Bill and James?

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

I need an expert in clothes to assist me - particularly, jeans.

Gaby, come dancing with me on Friday? Rogue's organizing, but a group of us are going to NYC to find a club to our liking. Illya, you're welcome to come along as well, but I will be stealing Gaby away from you for the night if she'll let me.

[ FILTERED TO HERR WAGNER ]
I haven't seen much of you on the network, but a few of us are going to New York City this Friday for a night out in the clubs, organized by your sister. Care to join us? Quentin will be there as well.

I know people are a lil all over the place because of the whole power swap thing that's happened to some, but is anyone up for heading to NYC this Friday to go dancing?

If you're worried about powers going outta control my offer to help with that still stands.

So Friday. NYC. Dancing. Who's in?

Going on day four of no magic. Still sucks a lot, but I'm handling it, so there's that. Still haven't figured out where my magic went, but I have a plan for that and I'm kind of hoping it works because that'll probably be easier than asking around all week. I've been checking in to see if anyone's said anything, but I haven't seen anything so far, so I guess I can say I tried.

[Filtered to whoever got my magic (aka Rose Red)]

Can you see this??? Not that I'd know who you are, but I'm not even sure this is going to work.

If anyone's got an ability that they can't handle or is hurting you, let me know and I can siphon some of it off and give ya a reprieve for a few hours to a couple of days, depending on what you're needing.

And no it don't matter what kind of ability from magic to inhuman to vampire to a god. I've done them all.

I know there’s a lot going on in your camp, but when it’s time for our next session, can I get a list of psychiatrists? I used to be on medication before Brakebills but Dean Fogg said I didn’t need them because I had magic. Only the thing about that is that magic, not surprisingly, doesn’t cure depression and I don’t really want to revisit the ‘forever bad decisions and crippling depression cycle’ and I’m not making great decisions even with the addition of ‘happiness is achievable’ memories. And the meds kept me a little more even keel when I actually took them, so probably I should at least explore it as a thing that will help for real and not just talk to my friends about how I should and do nothing.

Seriously, Ren? Fuchsia? Undo this immediately.
