the displaced; ic

You know, I suppose there's worse places that a portal could've taken me to other than Texas. Like the Badoon homeworld. Or the Shi'ar.

Either way, Texas nearly isn't as bad, I guess. The heat's a bitch, but that's pretty much it.

Anyway, my name is Lorna Dane, and I'd like to know a good place to get a drink around here, since I'm going to be here for awhile.

[OOC: A few hours after this post.]

Hello, my name is Steve Rogers.

Still getting up to speed on everything. I've been reading a lot of internet.

Anything important I need to know? Heard we won the war, so that's a good start. Dem bums win a World Series yet? Still have a couple hours left before I can leave quarantine.

Hello people of Tumbleweed.

I'm Steve Rogers, and I was told I that I should introduce myself on here. And also to not say it exactly in that way.

[Extended Avengers Family]
ooc: I'm being liberal with the definition. If your character is an Avenger, honorary Avenger, or family/close-friend-who-might-as-well-be-family of an Avenger, they are included in this.

Informal team dinner on the lawn at the Barton farm tomorrow. BBQ pulled chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs, grilled corn-on-the-cob, coleslaw, mac and cheese, salad. BYOB if you're drinking, but remember there's kids around, so maybe go light on that. You can bring any pot luck stuff you want.

Just figured it'd be good to get together.

Motherfucker Steve's gone.

Knowing him he'll be back, but no way to know when, or if he'll remember it.

[MCU Avengers, including Buckys, Wakandans & Misty]
I'm seriously concerned about this space station thing. And Rogue in general. With the history back home we really can't get actively involved here unless we're invited by the X-Men and luckily it looks like at least a few of them aren't very happy about this either, but it might be a good idea to just... keep our ears to the ground. I'd feel a lot better if we knew what was going on and I don't really trust them not to just circle the wagons and shut everyone out again like they did on the space cruise. Generally when mutants start getting paranoid enough to build outposts in space it's not long before things start escalating and Rogue has not always been the most stable person. (Rich coming from me I know.)

You're going along with this?

[WANDA MAXIMOFF MCU]

Hopefully this goes without saying, but we're not telling Erik who he is to you and I. Not until he's had time to process what's going on with himself and with Rogue.

This image inducer wanted to make me look like myself but without all the blue and other non-human bits and look, it was just weird and I couldn't get used to it. So now if I ever really need to pass as human outside Tumbleweed where people don't ignore everything all the time I'm going to look like this:



Which is still weird, but it's less weird.

It's been many, many years since I had an opportunity to keep a garden, a real one, nothing in hydroponics. Not since Alderaan Besides a trip to the gardening store, which I have planned already, is there anyone with experience who might be able to help me decide the sort of flowers that will do well in this climate?

The pony's got a dedicated run-in shed with storage and a turn-out space now. I think she's also been through about 20 names so far. Fortunately none of them were anything we'll regret in ten years like "Cupcake Sparkles," though there have been a few near misses.

( Delivered to Tony Stark (MCU) )

Getting sucked through a portal to a strange town in the middle of Texas was definitely not how I wanted to start things off for my new baby. Or being separated from my husband and my two other children.

Anyway, might as well introduce myself. My name is Laura Barton, and it looks like my son Nathaniel and I are going to be here for awhile.

My original plan for retirement involved working on the house and helping Laura with the kids. Since my pension didn't come through the portal with me and I'm currently doing the single dad thing, I figure I should pick up work where I can get it for now. Until I decide what to do with my life.

If you need some one-man construction done, let me know. My schedule's open.

[Friends and Colleagues* of Both Tony Starks]

In honor of Tony Stark the Younger somehow managing to reach the age of 21, you are invited to come and take advantage of free food and drink at my place in honor of his achievement, Saturday, June 2 at 6 PM.

Yes, I suppose it's also my birthday too, but I just celebrated it a few months ago. A hasty exit will be given to anyone who reminds me of the fact that Tiny is less than half of my age.

[Tony Stark (904913)]

Don't forget, birthday grill out on Tuesday. Bring whomever you want.

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

Having magic was weird. I could never figure out if I'd forgotten doing something or it just happened.

And I got water all over the floor and Pup went and lay in it. I think he was cooling down but now I have to brush all the tangles out.

So. I'm new here. Seem to have misplaced a team. Anybody seen 'em? They're loud. Banter inappropriately during life or death situations. Most recently seen fighting a lot of robots.

It's absolutely vital that I find them, because I'm wrecked, and I kind of need a babysitter.

Little help guys?

I am exhausted I apologise for not speaking up before this, but it seems that my powers are some of those that another may have at this time. If you need assistance with them, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

The Grandmaster had the right idea after all. Day drinking sounds delightful. Sif, tell me you kept some of that wine from Middle-Earth. We might as well enjoy it while there's time. ( spoilers-ish )

Have you seen Clint? I called him down for breakfast, but ...

I am pleased with how the plants from our stops on the cruise are doing where I've transplanted them, but Griggory keeps trying to dig some of them up.

Clint, will you help me build better fencing around the gardens?

Since there's a lot of music dorks in this bunch, I'm making these:

Thanks to the dude with the wings, Annie and I have a space to sell our crap besides Etsy. We're looking for someone to stand post at the front of the store while we work. It's called Wood & Waves and we're at [address]. I mean, I think we are. Are we, Annie?

Tomorrow marks 7 months of being here. I was on a boat and dating Murphy for most of it.

I need a new breakfast place, I can't deal with the sorry excuse for pancakes JJ's has. Recommendations?

And has anyone seen this asshole around? He answers (when he feels like it) to Kap.

[ FILTERED TO TRISH WALKER & MAYA LOPEZ ]
Thank you for letting me stay at the townhouse and thank you for letting me grumble at wood on your rooftop. I should be done your rooftop retreat within the week.

[ FILTERED TO PH, FAMILY, & FRIENDS ]
So The past couple of weeks I've been working on reworking my go to outlets for when things get frustrating and for when I can't handle a situation anymore. I think I've set up some strong methods with dealing with this that don't involve spiraling down bad paths, so I'm ready to go home and resume my life.

I'm going to work on finding a job next, so if you have any recommendations, hit me.

[ FILTERED TO TEAM AMERICA HOUSE ]
If you guys are ready for it, I'd like to come back home.

i'm opening up my metal and tech and random crap scrapyard for business so here's an important announcement

NEED GOOD SHIT? WE GOT GOOD SHIT

WANNA TRADE SOME SHIT FOR OTHER SHIT? WE CAN DO THAT (MAYBE)

WE ALSO BUY SHIT AS LONG AS IT'S NOT TOO SHITTY

we're in council 5

[...] groot also wants me to mention that his rock collection is open for public viewing so if you like rocks...

we got rocks i guess

Laura, the greenhouse you ordered is all set.

( Cut for size )

Thanks for the help building it Charlie.

Whew, okay. Hey? I sure hope this logs. I guess today's just a party all over because we got Galra sentries in Council 9! I'm here with Allura right now trying to disable them. We're right by the university. Team Voltron, you guys copy?

For those who are not already regulars and familiar with the Howlett Gym schedule, I teach a class in nonmagical defense against magic, a particular specialty of mine and one that I would argue is exceptionally useful in a place like this. It is open anyone, including magical folk, who can alternate between magical sparring and nonmagical sparring, to help others practice and to learn the skills themselves to fight without their magic.

In fact, I would greatly appreciate more magic folk joining in, to give students a wide range of types of magic to learn to defend themselves against. Alina helps me regularly with her light magic, but as she is not allowed to actually cut anyone in half, she sometimes gets bored with blinding people.

If you have an ability that is technically non-magical but makes you more powerful than the average person, I might be willing to work you in as well. Let me know if you're interested, and we can discuss your abilities beforehand so that I can formulate a lesson plan. This has always been on a volunteer basis, or rather you would be considered a regular participant in the class; however, I might be willing to pay a few people out of my own pocket if they bring important skills to the table, especially since I know money is a concern for everyone right now. If that's something you're interested in, we can discuss it further, and of course the gym owner, Laura, would have to sign off on it as well.

The class meets Monday through Friday, 4 PM - 5:30 PM. I hope to see you there.

AVENGERS COMPOUND (MINUS THE WARDS):

I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, and we've had a good run with free rent and utilities and everything, but if the military is gone and they were bankrolling everything like our paperwork, what are the odds these places are still set up to be rent and utility free?

We should probably think of some kind of contingency plan. I've got a bunch saved from not having to pay rent, but at some point, that's going to run low. Anyone got any ideas?

We're back in Tumbleweed, but as some of you may have figured out, the town is completely different than it was the last time we were here. There's an airport now, which my car navigation system pointed out, and it's on the opposite side of town from Fort Neill.

Of course, that's not the most startling or disturbing difference. Fort Neill is a graveyard, and I mean that in the kindest sense of the world. It was locked up when I got there. Got my way in to find a dusty military facility that has not been used in quite some time, and it looks like it didn't happen on purpose.

The military is dead, and I don't mean they cleared out. I mean there is an entire facility full of the skeletal remains of whoever was in there when something happened. That something appears to have been some sort of [...] feeding, possible animal attack. There are definite teeth marks on these bones, and the state of decomposure... it's not new. At least a decade, maybe more so it's not as horrendous as it could be to see.

I have not turned the power on; I don't want to disturb the bodies more than I already have, but I'd like for anyone interested in helping to come down to the facility to move these bodies — telekinesis, magic, or just standard issue gloves — so that we don't taint the bodies with our DNA. We'll have to keep the power off until that happens, and then there should be video monitoring we can check to see what happened, check databases and logs to see if there's any evidence of what might have happened here.

I'm leaving this open so we can discuss what to do. After scrounging around the base, I haven't seen any paperwork or IDs for those of you who arrived on the cruise so that's something we should work on immediately to get people in the system so they can work, get IDs, and whatever else they need. We'll need people who can make IDs and people who can get into the necessary systems for government agencies to make sure the back-end is taken care of in anyone wants to cross state or country lines.

And a warning to some of you who worked at the military before: yes, we knew some of these people if the names on the uniforms check out.

I am suddenly concerned about how I lived my entire life without a domestic cat around my house to enjoy the company of. I missed far too much, and will likely be catching up on it all night long because I'm far too entertained to sleep.

Filter: Team Wakanda

Are we sure this is what we want What is the general consensus on what we had accomplished tonight?

The resort and the spa have been lovely. I've managed to catch a couple of Pokemon, but I admit to spending the majority of my time here. This little vacation has been rather lovely. It reminds of me of when I used to go on holiday with my family when I was younger. Before my parents decided that I was no longer worth any of their time.

It is entirely possible that I may have asked one too many inappropriate questions about the anatomy and physiology of many Pokemon at the Aether Foundation. I'm not banned per se, but strongly encouraged to rethink my priorities before I step back through their doors again. Science appreciation and curiosity gets the best of me again.

Is it alright to give the Pokemon names?

Well, I knew one of these days, majority of our jobs would be taken over by robots, but I hadn't expected those to be doctors. Or this soon! I also really hope this is not another version of Framework.

Hello, my name is Jemma. Since I didn't crawl out of a grave this time, I assume I'm not already dead in this universe.

Well...this is new.

You're more likely to die by tripping, a lightning strike, or a government sanctioned execution than an unprovoked shark attack. We kill approximately 100 million sharks a year.

Hello. Again, apparently.

DR. STEPHEN STRANGE:

Tea or coffee?

I am only a newcomer on this ship, but I would like to extend my condolences to those who have lost a great deal during that fight. I've never seen so many formidable fighters in one spot, and I am impressed, but I understand the sentiment to wanting to have done more to save that which and whom are lost.

Filter: Wakandans

Does a battle like this happen here often?

Passover would be starting back home so if anyone wants to join me, I'll be on the top deck at sunset. I've asked some of the robots if they could make matzo. Can't really do a traditional Passover seder, but it's something.

Alright, with the pirates moving the hell on and the ship back in operating order we need to figure out a few things.

How many of ours are hurt?
Do we got any sort of numbers? I know the medbay seemed to be pretty dang packed when I was down there. The robots seem to be back online to work with fixing people but medical personnel what else are y'all needing? Should we continue triage in a separate area for more minor injuries y'all can deal with?

From the doctors: Small things that just need an antiseptic, sutures, or ice and rest can be done in the adjacent areas

Does every kid got someone to go home to right now?
If not we're gonna need to pair them up with people if'n their parents/guardians are hurting. Or keep up the school being a place for them to stick to. If we do that we're gonna need others to stay down there with them.

We'll keep kids at the school until one of their guardians is able to come and retrieve them. Or someone in their guardians place.

Clean Up?
Who's available and NOT needing to be in the medbay or in bed resting to help out with cleanup?

Is all the ship back in order?
Anyone able to help us figure out if'n anything is still offline?

Not available:

Explorer Lounge (5)
