My sister has disappeared. Rose Red, for those who knew her or were beginning to know her. I wish that I could say it gets easier, but it honestly gets more exhausting. It stops feeling like a joyous occasion when she comes back. I'll miss her, but perhaps she is better off in our world.

However, it leaves me in a bit of a bind. I have four shapeshifting children and one zephyr child, and I need child care during the daytime. I begin my day at 9am, but it can often go on beyond normal 9-5 on weekdays. I often have events that I must attend, and while I could chose someone from the town, I'd rather not expose them to the antics of my children which could and likely will include shapeshifting, flying, and my daughter who can control the North Wind.

Is there anyone out there who is looking for a summer position? I would pay generously, and of course would stock the kitchen with all sorts of goodies.

Last night, my daughter arrived in this world. Alive. Unscathed. She has no memory of what happened to her and her mother. I would, for now, prefer to keep it that way and will be seeking a way to block any mentions of my world on the internet from any searches she makes on her tablet. I have not spoken to many of you here and I am perfectly content to keep it that way, but Nina is a great deal more inquisitive and outgoing than I am.

So should you find yourself speaking to her, please refrain from scarring her or you will find yourself in a regrettable position.

We now live in the boathouse.

[ FILTERED TO ROGUE (616) ]
With Nina's arrival, I find myself trying to explain who Anka Irene is to her. Through my admittedly lacking explanation of other worlds and other Eriks, she understands that she has a sibling.

Would it be too much to ask if Nina can come along to meet Anka Irene the next time I see her?

[Filtered to parents/guardians of young children]

Okay. I know I talked about forming a parents group, and now that I've had some time, I'm actually able to put together a clear plan for it. With school finishing up for the summer, now's the perfect time to at least start getting together so that we can start planning out activities for the summer.

I'm thinking that we could have meetings once or twice a week during the summer, maybe one where we meet up at someone's house, and then another one where maybe we go out and do an activity together as a group. During the school year, maybe cut it down to every other Saturday, depending on what works best for the group. As life happens, you don't have to come to every single get together, but whatever you can do is fine. This is for the benefit of both adults and children. The children have kids their own age to interact with, and the adults can start forming a support group, especially since there are a few of us with infants.

I'm willing to offer up our house as a meeting location, but we could probably rotate between different houses, that way one person isn't constantly hosting meetings. If you don't have the space for it, that's perfectly fine.

I've made a form for people to fill out, that way I can get a head count of who to expect, and we can start getting closer to making this an actual thing.

[Filtered to parents/guardians of young children]

I've noticed that there's quite a few of us with young kids in the infant to preteen range. I know that some of us have been here for awhile, but some, like my family, haven't been here very long, and as a result, don't really have much in terms of friends for our children, or a support group of other parents.

Has anyone ever talked of maybe forming a parents and kids group? Like, the parents hang out and talk about our lives or whatever, while the kids all play together? We meet up at maybe different houses or go on outings together, like to museums and the zoo, have cookouts, things like that. Maybe parents who've been around for awhile can give tips to other Displaced parents, and our kids have a group of friends that are in similar situations to theirs.

If other parents wanted to, I certainly wouldn't object to forming a group like this. It'd be nice to have a support group of other parents and it would be nice for my kids to have some friends around their age who are also in the same situation that they are.

[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.

Anyone else have kids from the 7 to 10 range? Because while I think I'm amazing, my daughter doesn't think I'm a fun playmate and would like to upgrade me to actual kid.

[ FILTERED TO FORMER STARFLEET + ROGUE (616) ETA: CAROL DANVERS, LEO VALDEZ, 12TH DOCTOR, & MATT HOLT ]
We saw each other's plans. We know it's doable. And back home, we did do this even if Stone, Jones, and Reyes are from earlier in that timeline and never got to see it for themselves. So my question, I suppose, is how legitimate do we want to get with it? Because that's also doable, but we'd need to not live in Texas to do that if the Displaced want to stay under the radar.

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.

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.

Tony reminded me of the time he edited the Dodgers' Wikipedia to say they were planning on moving back to Brooklyn. I want him to know that really gave me trust issues with the internet.

Since we're sharing videos of our Pokemon and random pigs, here's my Pikipek (named Sammy of course) dancing to a song that I'm not embarrassed to like.

The farm came with my hens and vegetable garden. It's not exactly enough to feed everyone, but if you need a little help over the next few weeks, I can at least promise some fresh eggs. Maybe some fresh vegetables, too, if they grow well enough.

Did anyone not wake up this morning in some kind of residence that they appear to be living in?

Semi-relatedly, did anyone who was here before wake up somewhere different than where they used to live? That's more just out of curiosity.

[info]blackwidowed

post-dated to Monday, April 9th at 9am.

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.

Do we have to throw balls at them? It seems mean. Especially for the shy ones. They spend all that time hiding from people and then as soon as someone finds them they get things thrown at them and locked in a little ball. Why can't we just feed it until it feels safer?

Judging by the alarmist attitudes of people apparently in the know, this isn't a Sherwood Forest or Camelot in the vein of Mel Brooks or Monty Python. Who do we speak to about making that happen?

And I hope we can all agree to the necessity of coming up with a swear jar equivalent or some other punitive measure for anyone who's caught singing that "Let It Go" song from Frozen. I'm guessing corporal punishment is a bit much.
