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.

It's just occurred to me that by the calendar here in Tumbleweed, the me back home must be up to her eyeballs in the Quidditch World Cup. It's quite unfair for it to be a world cup year without getting to enjoy one. That's two I've missed by being here. And before you say anything, no, the football one most definitely does not count. How anyone could find it entertaining to watch a bunch of blokes fall over whingeing for two hours is beyond me.

Any other Muggle sports one of you lot wants to try to sell me on?

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.

I'm having a moment of Holy Crap, I Did Not Know Something In Texas Other Than Pride Parade Could Bring This Many People Into Town. Though, to be honest, this is my first time ever being in Tumbleweed. I've only ever visited Houston before this.

The bright side: more tourists means more customers at the Bronze and more money coming our way!

Well, Fleur, it looks like France is moving forward! I'm going to be obsessively checking the England vs. Croatia match tomorrow. Merlin save me. I'm sorry to those in Record-Keeping that have to put up with my potential loudness and my general 'Please win, England' emotions. I'm sort of looking forward to France vs England if we win.

In other, non-football related news. I'm trying to put together a weekend hike somewhere maybe a little cooler than here. I haven't figured out the where yet, but if anyone wants to come, let me know!

ETA: Alternatively, if anyone wants to start up Quidditch teams, I feel like we might have a good time of it and I've been told I'll get a glittery sign if I play, so I may have ulterior motives.

For some reason knowing the woman who played me on television just became a Tony Award Winning Producer is making me overly nostalgic for when random song and dance break outs were typical.

I need to go to go see Once On This Island.

So not only can this portal place people outside their own homes it can also do so cross dimensionally, and from what I was told also neutralizes powers? Not to mention the fact that you seem to be pushed from the room that holds it itself, there's also a computer attached that somehow knows your name? I can't believe I'm even saying this, but I have no idea, which is crazy as I always have some idea. I'd love to hear more theories about this, and what has been discovered so far. Like is it just the building, and how? And what's powering this thing, if anything?


Oh and if anyone's seen my husband or my son please do send them over. None of my capsules seem to have come through with me so me and Bulla will need a lift home. Which is also here, somehow, and I'd like to hear theories about that too.

So after sleeping for a solid 16 hours I started digging around on the internet. And found movies.

That probably sounds sketchy.

I found movies that include parts of my life.

It turns out my life is an alternate ending. So that's... cool. I guess. Not really.

Is this normal? Does this sort of thing exist for everyone?

So I have my broom finally, which is nice. It will save on my broom rental costs. I'll probably have to be careful about where I fly it, but at least it's there to fly. I don't really know what to say about I And it's not a co-parenting situation It's a shame that I can't use it to get to and from work and that apparating isn't really the go-to way to get around either. But I guess cabs aren't too bad as an alternative.

If anyone wants to go flying with me, I'm totally ready to find somewhere secluded for it.

A day or so late, but I'm over being drunk now.

[Filtered to Jake Stone]
Is that offer for help with history still open? I needed a break, so I switched to maths, but now I'm trying to figure out the world wars and I have no idea who the majority of the important figures they are discussing are, so I feel like I'm not fully understanding something.

Also it feels like information overload at this moment, so it's possible I just need to decompress and come back to it.

Hello, hungover. I haven't seen you in awhile.

Magic is wonderful and I wish I hadn't had those last two drinks. If Marietta was here, she would take my phone. Instead, I am by myself talking to my goldfish. He's not a very good conversationalist, but I guess it could be worse am still a little more drunk than I meant to be. But I had fun tonight, so no regrets or whatever is the saying.

Thank Merlin for magic. Otherwise I'm pretty sure I'd be in a near constant state of feeling ill because of this heat. It's never this warm in England. The sunscreen is also very useful. I'd really rather not have to torture myself with long sleeves and trousers to avoid the sun, so this helps.

I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you who helped during these last few weeks while the Resettlement Bureau was getting on its feet. The primary goal of the organization is simple: greet new arrivals and set them up with what they'll need to get on their feet here. That means paperwork, helping them acclimate to Tumbleweed and Earth, finding their housing. The secondary goal is to study the portal, to see if there is a way we can figure out its agenda, where it came from, how to stop certain creatures from coming through or at the least, being prepared when they do.

These are now paid positions. If you were volunteering before, just come see me if you want to transition to paid.

You can see how outlook and agenda here.

Our open positions are as follows, and yes, they do come with health benefits. [OOC NOTE: If you are on here in a position, you'll need to comment here to get the ball ICly rolling, please!]

TONY STARKS:
Tiny, I wanted to thank you for establishing the food bank. I'd like to work directly with you to help those who first arrive who won't have a paycheck for a week or so. The Resettlement Bureau can help, but you've already got that in place and it would help foster relations with others. Do you have plans to make it an actual charity?

Tony (and Tiny), any ideas on a time frame for the reactor?

So you're staying with me, I won't hear any arguments about it.

Next order of business... there's a lot going on. Clearly. But I feel like we - as in the community - could benefit from an evening of being social. Where people can mingle and exchange thoughts on jobs and what they may do here now that we're in Texas.

And since the pool is here, it only makes sense that I combine the slumber party I wanted with a pool party. Thoughts?

I knew I had this somewhere. Pokedex, Alola edition.

[ooc: A limited version of the Pokedex that doesn't include exact location data, just the island groupings]

I doubt we'll be able to catch all of those. The first nine are the starters and their evolutions and in the game you can only choose one set of those. At the end of the list are legendaries and they're incredibly difficult to find and catch. I'd assume we can rule any of those out. The rest, I don't know.


For everyone who doesn't have a clue what we're going on about, Pokemon are... in some ways an equivalent to animals, but broader than that. I think the game concept actually came from insect collecting. The idea of the games is to try to collect every kind of Pokemon by catching wild ones, evolving the ones you have through training and using items, and trading with other people. You can also put Pokemon in battles against other trainers, which sounds like those underground dog fighting rings but supposedly Pokemon enjoy it and it's definitely a lot more regulated. A Pokemon can only know four skills, fights end when one is knocked out, and they're easy to heal at Pokecenters which are free for trainers to use and located in almost every town and city. As well as fighting there are other things like beauty and talent shows, so it's not all horribly violent. The different types partly determine what they're strong and weak against in battles and also to some extent where you can find them. Water Pokemon, obviously you'll want to look in the sea, rivers, lakes. Rock Pokemon in the mountains, grass Pokemon in fields, fire Pokemon I'd probably head to the volcano.

Or you can just ignore the Pokemon and do the standard tourist-y things like the dinosaur park and resort.

**Replying to say you have no magical ability or contact with magic where you're from is equally unnecessary.

***Feel free to respond publicly or privately. Private answers will be held in confidence.

1. Do you have the capability to use magic or regularly come into contact with magic? Is there a title you prefer like wizard, magician, psychic, etc?

2. How would you describe the nature of your abilities? For example, is it over a specific element, do you have a particular discipline or scope?

3. How do you manifest your magical abilities? For example, do you use a wand, hand gestures, spoken word, magical texts, spell ingredients, a combination, or none of the above?

4. Are you willing to share your magical knowledge or be called upon to come to someone's aid? Do you have limitations to how much help you're willing to provide or information willing to share?

5. Is there any interest in forming a group, council or coven to continue this conversation?
