So people can have the same face here. Does this happen often? Not like twins either-

I swear if someone shows up with Glenn's face-

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)_/¯

Do we know what version of the Enchanted Forest we're going to?

Today I am 24 years old. Apparently. I don't really know how time works here.

I don't want a party, unless we combine it with Ron's. Happy birthday, Ron!! Double parties mean more cake.

It pleases me greatly with the number of family and family friends that keep popping up around here. As soon as we're all back in Tumbleweed, I plan to have a proper family and friends dinner. Not being able to use the kitchens is quite inconvenient

Today is also doubly special, as it's both Ronald's and Tonk's birthdays. Happy birthday, both of you.

Does anyone know who owns Gateway Cruises?

We went to the Misty Mountains today. The kids loved it, said it reminded them of Wolf Valley where our home was in our world. I'm not surprised. It's a beautiful view.

( Cut for a photo of Charlie Weasley )

CHARLIE WEASLEY:

And I don't just meant the scenery.

If you're out in the woods and happen to see four wolves bouncing around, please do not shoot them. My kids are anxious to get out and roam in their natural forms. Keep a look out for these particular wolves and do not shoot.

[Insert a photo of them in wolf-form]

If you notice them doing something they're not supposed to — scaring people — please, inform me immediately so I can have a talk with them.

CHARLIE WEASLEY:

I've spent the last week thinking — about how fragile your lives are, and how short a time we have.

The only thing I've come up with is how fucking stupid it is that we're pretending we're just friends. We used to be friends, and I think given time we could be again, but I don't want to.

We used to argue about what would happen if Bigby came back. You said you always knew that if he showed up here, that I'd run to him. Maybe it was true then, but Bigby and I — we have an eternity in our world. You and I don't have that long, and I still love you.

I don't know if this is overstepping my bounds, but I've spent too much of my life as the ice queen that everyone knew in Fabletown and the Homelands. Maybe I should credit Bigby for opening my heart up to care about other people as more than just Fables to keep in line, but it's hard to just shut that down once it's opened. The kids taught me about real, unconditional love. Bigby taught me that sometimes there are people who come back.

So this is me. Coming back. Wanting to be back.

VOICE TO TEXT

I’m [...] so I hope my left handed wandwork is not as atrocious as my lefthanded handwriting. Ha. This is not what I was expecting today.

There's a group of Atlanteans working to clean up the beach. I was doing to help them, but it would probably go a lot faster with more people. If you're uninjured and need something to — particularly those of you with super strength — I think they could definitely use the help.

SNOW WHITE

Hey, so, I am planning to visit the museum again tomorrow. It was far too big to really appreciate over the course of one day. But I was thinking, maybe some of the kids might want to go? I figured it was definitely up Ambrose's alley but I figured Blossom might enjoy it too? Of course, if they all want to go, I'm fine with that. But I didn't think it was something all five of them would be up for.

That being said, I think each of them might agree that Build-A-Bear on Sunday would be worth time?

STEPHEN STRANGE

You being enjoying Atlantis, Mate?

ROCKET

Hey, you. Want to grab breakfast in the morning?

Just a head's up that there seems to be some rumbling about political talks with some neighboring country not going all that well happening. Ain't sure how big a thing it is considering the gossip is ranging from eye rolling types of convos to ones that actually are looking worried.

But I figure everyone being a lil alert ain't a bad thing.

[Hope Summers]

Our link stays open for the rest of our time here. No blocking each other with the whisperings happening.

While Murphy was falling asleep, I read about a war here.

A war with another place, called Sirenia?

So I guess it's not all peaceful shit, drinking out of coconuts.

Found the tavern. Someone come get me for when it's time for me to patrol.

[ FILTERED TO TINA COHEN-CHANG ]
So. I fucked up. Remind me to stop doing that, will you?

[ooc; Triggers for talk of death, depression, and suicide in comments.]

Since we've mostly got our battle plans sorted I want to talk about evacuations as well. There's getting to be a lot of us and in a crisis things get confusing so knowing in advance what to do will go a long way to making sure it goes right.

• Almost all the time when an evacuation alert goes out there's not going to be time to do much except get to the lifeboats on Deck 6. You should probably check where they are at some point so you know where you're going.
• A lot of us have pets and I know no one wants to leave them behind. If they're out with you that's not much of a problem but otherwise you should pick one person per suite to go and grab them if there's enough time. We have to be realistic that sometimes there won't be, and I'm not just saying that for everyone else - I always have at least my budgies that are confined to their cage and sometimes my Eevee stays behind too.
• Relatedly, Rogue suggested that it might be a good idea to pack a go bag for emergencies so that if there is a little more time you can grab it instead of trying to figure out in the moment what to bring. You shouldn't need to worry about food and things, so it's better to pack light so we don't take up too much space. A few clothes, medications, things you really don't want to leave behind.

Now the important bit, not leaving anyone behind. We need a way to know who's already boarded a lifeboat and who hasn't, which Tony should be able to do using the bracelets. (I'm assuming?) We also need a couple of people for each floor who can do a quick sweep to make sure everyone's left and to make sure the lifeboats are boarded efficiently. You will most likely be the last people to leave, so keep that in mind. For floors 1-4 and 7-10 that'll probably be banging on doors, for the others a quick check of all the public areas. Then when that's done, get to Deck 6 to help load.

I've only evacuated towns and cities before so please weigh in on any of this ^ if you think there's a better way of doing things. And if you want to be a floor monitor or floor captain or whatever, sign up here. 18+, minors should go directly to the lifeboats. Everyone else make sure you know who's responsible for the floors you spend most time on.

adding: Since each accommodation deck has their own lifeboat, based on Anakin's experience it's best to stick to what's been assigned. People responsible for clearing the matching floors will also have the final call on when to launch, even if someone's missing. So, make sure you have a decent idea of who should be there and make note of whether any of them are clearing public decks and can be expected to take a little longer. Tech, I'd still like a way to check people off as they board lifeboats if we can so we know if anyone hasn't turned up. The way people come and go it's going to be more reliable than memory.

Other things people have pointed out
• Make sure your floor coordinators know who's in charge of fetching pets so they can expect who'll be around
• There was talk about swimming lessons for anyone who doesn't know how which I would definitely recommend, having literally been marooned on a Caribbean island
• Gansey's going to check with the robots to see if there's a way to teach some people to row. We do have a couple people with water powers which would be the ideal but let's try not to rely on it.

Myron's gone.

I am out of quarantine and have spent the holiday with my half sister, Anka Irene. She is beautiful and I am happy to be part of a family again.

I just need to find a job. Maybe teaching? What positions are open?

[ROGUE]
I missed Christmas Eve at the cabin. Anything good happen?

[WANDA MAXIMOFF MCU]
Forgive me, I was confused and scared.

[TJ]
Your father is being very sweet to me.

The kids and I are going to the New Morning Stables after school today to see Santa. Ambrose is very certain this isn't the real Santa (he's right, of course), but he still wants his picture with him. They promise me they'll be on their best behavior.

Does anyone want to tag along with their children?

[Friends and Family of the Charlie Weasleys]

Party update. We were going to have the party on the Quidditch pitch, but considering the current weather, it'll be best if we hold the party at Guardian's location, as Rocket offered.

The bouncy castle has been reserved. The ice cream has been ordered. Cakes, I assume are being baked.

Are we officially inviting Charlie and Charlie? Or is this going to be a surprise?

WHO: Snow White, Charlie Weasley
WHEN: Right after AU!Charlie got out of quarantine
WHERE: Wolf Manor
WHAT: Charlie shows up at Wolf Manor and Snow and him talk.

( He was getting a Burrow that was alive and filled with commotion as it always had been. And he hated it. )

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!

MOLLY WEASLEY

Can I treat you to dinner tonight, Mum?

SNOW WHITE

Snow.

I don't suppose there's anyone looking for a job who is interested in homeschooling? My children are troublesome shapeshifters who don't always understand that they can't show everyone what they can do. Winter decided she was going to fly off the top of the damn playground to get away from some bullies.

I've had a talk with the school and insisted that there must be some kind of mistake. That Winter's simply a very athletic child who tends to climb and jump around, but I'd feel a lot better if there was someone among the Displaced who would be interested in the position. They're all the same age, 6. They've only just turned 6 so they're in kindergarten.

WHO: Snow White, Charlie Weasley, probably some cameos by Wolf Cubs
WHEN: October 21
WHERE: Wolf Manor
WHAT: Charlie gets to help Snow's campaign! They finally get some closure.
TRIGGERS: Mentions of alcoholism.

( Wolf Manor was alive. )

On Friday, I commented on a young lady's network post and heartlessly called her an 'idiot'. I sincerely apologize for my action. I allowed my temper to get the better of me, and promise to be more vigilant about what I write.

[Private to the Displaced Adults]

However, I stand by my concern for the Displaced underage youth. I understand they are required to have guardians when they arrive. How much supervision are they given? Tumblewood is turbulent and dangerous, and while I understand some of the youth have powers and may even be able to defend themselves, they are still children.

This is motherfucking bullshit and if I don't get out of here in the next ten minutes, I'm going to tear the door down.

I was debating how much backstory I really need for this post, but I suppose it doesn't drum up much in the way of dramatic staging. The bare bones of it? Once upon a time, I received a second chance at life, and I choose to invest in social media and never paying for movies online. I've caught up on most of the cult classics, but I never saw the entirety of Hocus Pocus. Hel happened. As Hel is wont to do.

Who wants in on a viewing party?

I'm still not sure what to make all of this. The kids seem all right with it, though, so I guess I can get used to Tumbleweed.

It's amazing the resilience of children. Two weeks, we've been here, and they've settled back into their regimes. I, on the other hand, take a little more getting used to it. When I was here before, the children were not, and I'd forgotten how different taking care of Wolf Manor was without a houseful of children. Still, they're something to focus on.

I see the Mayor is still leading the town, and his son is still a little troll. There are town council positions up in this election, and I'm determined to be one of them.

I've definitely had better mornings, but you know what? I've also had worse so today isn't as bad as it could be.

WEASLEYS+, front and center! I'm told there's a few of you running around already and I need a distraction from the fact that I feel like a potions experiment.

Wolf Manor, if it's in the same place as it was before, is quite a walk from the military base, and while I think the children would have no trouble transforming into wolves, I don't have that means. They also don't know where it is. I don't suppose someone would be kind enough to offer me and the children a ride. I didn't have the foresight before being taken from my home to put money in my pockets.

Not THIS again

I need a bottle of aspirin and the best foot massage possible.

WHO: Charlie Weasley, Snow White
WHEN: Technically New Years Day, in the wee hours
WHERE: Snow's bedroom. Yup.
WHAT: After months of codependency, they pair go home together.
STATUS:

( ''Should I stay or should I go?'' )

WHO: Charlie Weasley, Snow White
WHEN: When the ghosts first arrived
WHERE: The Burrow
WHAT: Charlie gets a visitor, Snow thinks he might have disappeared.
WARNINGS: Snow's mouth and life pretty much sucks. Child ghost.


( He could just sit in silence with Snow and it was enough. )

People keep saying it's a new year, but I don't know how anyone keeps track of time here.
