They don't like to leave you without a cabinmate for too long, do they?

I've got a song stuck in my head that I could swear I haven't heard in at least ten years. There's not even a reason. I just woke up with it. Why??

("Dance, then, wherever you may be, I am the lord of the dance said he, and I'll lead you all wherever you may be, I'll lead you all in the dance said he.")

I miss playing guitar in front of people. Karaoke doesn't feel the same.

I also miss hacking into Tumbleweed's military records and reading everyone's intake information.







ooc: rick's brain is like a computer but i didn't get mod permission so he could be lying, so don't worry too much.

I'm Colonel James Rhodes and I spent most of the last night getting caught up on the situation. If there's anything I can do to assist with reinforcing security protocols, emergency contingencies, and the like, I'll be happy to assist.

Amadeus Cho, I'm your new suitemate.

I feel like one big bruise. Well I definitely don't feel like hanging around in my cabin. Anyone for karaoke?

Now this is a vacation.

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

I've always wanted to see a legit mermaid. And Namor doesn't count.

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.

I know that school is required for those under 18, but unfortunately there's no such requirement for those of us currently in college.

Ava and I would like to change that! For those of you that would like to continue your education, Ava and I will need what courses you were currently taking before the jump. We can't guarantee everything we need will be in the library, but let's really look through out things! There's a good chance our text books came through and that would be a HUGE help.

Any adult that would like to give their knowledge and assistance would be most welcome.

Right now we just need a list of names of people who are interested and what classes they were taking so we can put something together.

Flash, I've been told to tell you that you don't have a choice.

Anything I missed, Ava?

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.

So, BLSA of Tumbleweed U got a hefty amount of coats and jackets for the coat drive. As president of the club, I just wanted to say thank you to the people who donated, whether it was the coats/outerwear themselves, or money for them. We're still accepting donations for one more week, and then the coats are being shipped out to various shelters across the country.

One of the great things about being in college now is that our winter breaks are so long! Spring semester starts on the 17th! That's almost a fortnight.

Ha. I like being able to use fortnight in a sentence.

Clarke, can you cover a shift for me at ⚡? I'm trying to see if I can get a gig at the Bronze. Ororo don't look at me like that pls

If I can play there, will you guys come see me? I take requests. I'll also play Marlo's Song.

I am so sorry that I ever doubted there was a Santa. Never again! I've finally come out of my hole after watching all six films by Peter Jackson. This is a winter break well spent, in my opinion.

I also haven't worked out in a while and I got winded walking up stairs, so I should probably fix that.

Santa didn't grant my bomb-ass wish (pun intended) but gave me 2 grand?

I'm still in my pajamas, but, uh, who's making dinner tonight?

My best friend, Luke, isn't here, so I'll say it for him: Sweet Christmas!

The money I've been saving for a Macbook from my campus job can be used for something else, now that Santa (or "Santa"?) decided to give me a new laptop that I had written for.

Filter: Friends

Guess who also got seven grand!

What do you like better? Cats or Labyrinth? Also. Chocolate.

Oh, champagne robot. I missed you.

Not to be a begger, but I need someplace to stay. Anyone got a place or should I sign up for an apartment?

Turning a nice hotel room into a soundproof jail cell really seems like something Bobby would do. How many cameras do I have to worry about in here?

I know we're all distracted by the universe deciding people need to swap brains with their face twins, but I thought I'd put this out there now instead of later: The Black-Latinx Students Association at University of Tumbleweed is organizing a coat drive. You can donate any outerwear to designated places in the local mall or to the University itself. Or you can get directly in touch with me, since I'm president of the club.

... of course if you wish to keep them for the time because of all this freak Texan snow, that's fine too. The coat drive is going to be continuing in January anyway. Hopefully, the snow won't.

ATTN superheroes/anyone with a recognisable "look".

The hospital is taking sign ups for people to dress up and visit the kid's ward on the 23rd and 24th for Christmas. Claire organised this last year and absolutely nothing weird or implausible happened. It works best if you have a costume, uniform or distinctive outfit that's been seen in a tv show, movie or comic book that's pretty well-known. Books usually aren't visual enough and video games don't get as much advertising so fewer people see them. A good rule of thumb is probably "can I buy a Halloween costume of myself?" (That means you Steve Rogers I don't care if you're not Captain America anymore.)

Hope you've been paying attention because I have to leave town for a week or so. Do you (and by that I mean the plural you) think that you can handle the store during that time?

Don't burn the place down, contact me on here if there's a problem. I may not have reliable cellular signal.

It seems as though most everyone except perhaps Anakin will be at the ball, but have we given any thought to where to host this party?

[Filtered to Emma Frost]

Can I ask a favor?

Dear Secret Santa,

If you need some ideas, here you go:

1. Cool Science Stuff
2. Bitcoins and/or Gift Cards (all major credit cards accepted)
3. Chocolate
4. Swag from ThinkGeek

[Private to Everybody, Excluding Johnny Storm]

Friends and family of Johnny Storm? Do you have any gift suggestions?

Anyone want to come work for ⚡?

If your music taste doesn't suck we can talk about going permanent after the holidays.

They SAY quarantine but it FEELS like jail. Is SHIELD behind this? No one said anything about SHIELD, but they don't always announce themselves.
