Deck 5:
The main restaurant, the theatre we arrived in, a music hall, a couple of boutiques that sell clothes and toiletries and the like, and a casino.

The big pool, several small bars, grills, a buffet, a cigar place, a kitchen hosting cooking lessons, another library, a games room, and movie screens.

Deck 13:
All kinds of fitness things.

1-4 and 7-10 are all accommodation, it looks like. Medical's right down the bottom.

For all the X-people out there, who wants to switch rooms with me?

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.

I missed Christmas?!

I'm going to need a do over. Let's rewind a few days, mysterious Texas military base that's abducted me.

At least this alternate dimension has a nice waiting room.

Who: Secret Santa participants!
When: First thing Wed 20th
Where: A mailbox near you! (Or next to the mailbox.)

Sorted alphabetically by first name:


( Albus to Hope )

To all the women out there that I offended or made feel gross in some way: I am so, so deeply sorry. I wasn't in my right mind. I don't like that this place keeps taking away my core being. First Tony, then Johnny. No offense to either of them, but they're the most unlike me and it's making me mad.

[SAM WILSON 616]
Thank you. Thank you so much.

[JOHNNY STORM]
How do you do that?

[TJ HAMMOND??/BUCKY BARNES (PH)]
What's your name?

Why do I have a beard? Flames'll take care of that.

Do any of you ladies want to melt some snow with me?

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.)

Hey, guys. Sue and I are organizing a toy drive. We've partnered with one of the local groups to do a holiday event for families in need. If you're interested in donating a gift, swing by Pier 4 to pick up a wishlist tag!

ETA: Sue has all the details here.

[Private to Everybody, Excluding Johnny Storm]

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

[Private to the Cast and Crew of The Christmas Carol]

I just found out that Mordecai and Dash were both taken back home. I got to know them well, working on the play together, and they'll be missed.

Mordecai taught us everything we need to know for our dance numbers, all we have to do is continue with what we've learned. Fortunately, I did a video recording of the choreography, so if we need a reference, we can watch that.

As for Scrooge's nephew, Fred, I'll be picking that up that role. Costumers, we'll just need to alter what was sewn for Mordecai, and add a spot for my tail in the trousers.

Stitch, I'm counting on you, buddy. I need you to play Tiny Tim in addition to the boy in the street. Do you think you can remember his lines? Opening night is only 13 days away.

NOBODY ELSE IS ALLOWED TO LEAVE UNTIL AFTER THE PERFORMANCES! Seriously, please. We can't afford to miss any more performers.

Is there anything else I've missed? Honestly, it's been a crazy morning.

[Private to Logan]

What are you up to?

Okay, I know I said not even a week ago that Santa isn't real, but based on experience I'm going to suggest that waking up to a stamped self-addressed return envelope to the North Pole is the sort of thing you should actually take seriously here.

New arrivals, let me know if you want to do a Secret Santa. Sign ups close December 3rd, presents need to be with me December 19th. We're sitting at a little over 50 people participating at the moment.

[Sue Storm]

So, as much as Carol, Single Lady, and I have loved bunking with you in your huge freaking place, we’re thinking that we maybe need to relocate to something a little more like Carol’s old place. Namely, Carol’s old place. I promise we’ll still stop buy a lot. Especially during meal times.

[Princess Sparkle-Fists]

Okay, so, I may have told the Thor that’s here that I was engaged to the version of him from our universe, and I kind of need you to help sell it. Before you start, I want to make one thing clear: Shut up.

[Jessica Drew, Carol Danvers]

Be my dates to the ball, ladies?

[Private to the Cast and Crew of 'A Christmas Carol']

We have some good news and bad news.

Bad news first - due to personal reasons, the Doctor had to drop out of the play, and will no longer be playing the role of Scrooge.

Good news is that Caroline Forbes has agreed to play the part. All of Caroline's roles will be taken by Kitty Pryde.

It's going to be a bit chaotic at first, but the show must go on!

Caroline must meet with the costumers as soon as possible. We'll also need to figure out some make-up or even magic to age her.

Thanks everybody. I haven't said it often enough, but all of you are doing a great job. This play is turning out to be incredible.

[Filtered to 616ers and extended friends of Sue or Johnny (includes Whoverse people)]

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, Johnny and I talked it over and we’d like to invite you all over that Thursday at 4pm. There will be turkey, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, stuffing, yams, green bean casserole, rolls, [edit: and mashed potatoes], and whatever else any of you would like to bring. If you already have plans, that’s fine – there will be plenty of food I’m sure so feel free to come by that night or Friday to take some off our hands.

[Sue]

Hey, so, I know we're missing ever-- it's just the two of us here but what were you thinking of for Thanksgiving? Carol and Jess are around and we can invite Remy too. There's also a few Brits here who probably wouldn't mind having a turkey dinner.

Happy Birthday to Sam Wilson! May you grow as old as me.

Who's throwing the shindig?



[Falke]

Is it your birthday, too?

Friends?

Singularity is here!

Aw c'mon. Not cool.

I just wanted a nap. Not another inter-outer-upper dimensional roundabout ride.

Why is sleep the enemy?

Great. Really getting tired of your shit, multiverse.

Hopefully I’m not a particularly disgruntled menu item this time? Because once was enough for anyone.

Think this goes without saying but you kids need to be safe out there during Halloween. As usual the gym is open for anyone that don't want to be out with all the rugrats running about.

Also, with Clint being gone I need someone to take over the ranged training at the gym. It don't gotta be permanent, and I'd do it myself but I got a ton of shit on my plate and would appreciate help with it.

So if you're interested then let me know here. Or stop by the gym. Whatever you want.

If I leave now I might be able to follow the monkey's trail before the wind disperses it too much. If anyone thinks they can contribute and can keep up somehow it might be useful to have the option to spread out. Best if you have some kind of tracking skill or survival training but we may also need to fight or see to injured people.


[mostly those who signed up on the ooc post. and probably assume this was.... somewhat earlier than a full day after they got kidnapped lol sorry]

Okay, I'm not sure if I buy the run down on this. But so far nothing's set off my alarm bells.

Anyone feel like elaborating a little on this portal/altverse/quarantine explanation?

[Ben Reilly]

Happy Belated Birthday, man. Drinks are on me.

[Sue]

I tracked down most of the FF stuff Google mentioned. Wanna check them out with me? If you're busy, that's cool. I'll just live text you.

Who's up for watching a bunch of Fantastic Four stuff with me? I've found three movies and a some cartoons. Back home, we usually just get documentaries and comics and stuff so this'll be cool. Open invitation. If you come, bring some drinks and snacks. Party starts in a few hours.

[Ben Reilly]

Don't think that just because we're in another universe, I forgot your birthday. Where do you want to go for dinner? My treat.

Can anyone explain why does any of this [...] stuff exist? Why?

[Susan and Johnny Storm]
Things are going to get awkward if I wait too long
I didn't introduce myself fully the other day. Despite living and training with the X-Men I'm not a mutant. My Atlantean blood comes from my father, Namor. My ability to manipulate force fields (and truthfully almost everything else) comes from my mother, Susan. They met when he saved her life during the meteor storm that destroyed the Western hemisphere and married several years later. The oldest of my sisters is Valeria and my brother is Johnny. So. I don't As it's common knowledge I thought it best to let you know.

[Ororo]
I'm telling Susan and Johnny who I am, or rather, I have done and now I'm thinking about alcohol.

Since we've seen an interesting increase in new residents lately, I wanted to remind everyone that the Ellie Phimister School is open to all displaced of secondary school age. For anyone unfamiliar with a modern or an American education system, we are happy to fast track and assist where necessary to get you up to speed. We are also seeking educators and administrators to expand our staff. If you have experience, wonderful, but it isn't entirely necessary to get your foot in the door. Inquire within this post for more details.

[Ororo]
Tell me you're back to yourself.

[Laura + Remy, separately]
How have you been, darling?

I understand the need for quarantine, really, but having access to an entire computer network for communication at the same time is a little new.
