The Doorway: a panfandom game

For those who knew them, Temperance Brennan and Seeley Booth were sent home.

What: Christmas presents!
Rating: Who knows!

Because this game is massive, and even if every character just sent ONE package to anyone, it would end up being 300+ posts in the community. So to save our friends lists from imploding, we the moderators are asking that you fill out this form and reply HERE. It'll make it easier to find (Control-F is a lovely thing!) and we won't have to abuse our scroll button. Here's how we're going to do it. You will post for one character with everything that they got for their friends/family/etc. Make sure to tag your character and all the characters that yours gave gifts too as soon as you get their information up! <b>Character name:</b> Name! <b>GIFTS:</b> • <b>Giftee:</b> Present. • <b>Giftee:</b> Present. • <b>Giftee:</b> Present. • <b>Giftee:</b> Present. • <b>Giftee:</b> Present.

Not only am I officially feeling better, but one of my dad's guitars arrived for me today.


[ooc: For those who don't know, her dad is Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top. So if your char is familiar with classical music and all, they may recognize the guitar.]

Don't wear your armor on the ice, they said. It'll be fine, they said. Except now I have a bruise the size of Long Island, and no you can't see it.

Rhodey is a regular Evan Lysacek, though. Who knew?

Hey team,

See, it's the end of the year, and this is generally the time when I'd snoop around in your projects and figure our more about all the cool stuff you're doing. But it seems like this year, there is a lot going on with Asgard. Refugees, ff you're going, cool. If you've already left. Also cool. I'm glad you're helping out. But let either Pepper or I know.

Because here's the thing. We don't want this cutting into your sick days or vacation time. Oh, and you'll still be paid for the time you miss. It's Christmas, after all.

I know already some of you are getting involved off-Earth. Again, I think that's great. I want to start getting things organised so we can kick off with R&D hopefully no later than January, so who is available?

[Peter Parker [MCU]

You busy?

If I told you that I needed you to come down to the workshop and take off your clothes for science, would you believe me? Secondly, how do we feel about a joint business venture with Stark Resilient?

So while you're all signing up for Secret Santa gifts, keep in mind that if you need any custom artwork or sculptures for anyone, you can contact me, Angela, about that too. I've worked with several different mediums and I can pull off a wide-range of styles including some forgery.

While I'm pretty much quarantined in my apartment, I need something to keep my mind off being sick...so I've decided to set up a Secret Santa (or Satan if you prefer) gift exchange. These are always fun!

Here are the rules:
Gift may be purchased or handmade - state your preference if you have one
Gifts are not to exceed $50 - but you don't have to spend that much
This is open to all ages, so gift must be age appropriate for the giftee; i.e. nothing R-rated for under 17s!
This is also open to both Tower residents and non-residents alike - including those of you in Asgard. We'll get the gifts to you somehow.

Please get these in by midnight Saturday. I'll get the assignments back to everyone on Sunday. If you're out of the area and need the present delivered to someone else, you can use me as the mailing address and I'll get it to the person.

Guess I hadn't had the chicken pox when I was a child. Could've sworn I had.

I require a grape, a knife, a glass, and a microwave.

It's been a long time since I've had to write grant proposals, but my proposal has been accepted. As soon as the funding comes through, which it should do within the week, I'll be upgrading and significantly improving the laboratories within the medicolegal department of the NYPD. Additionally, my budget request included funding for up to three assistants who have a graduate degree in forensic science. Special exceptions may be made for students currently working towards their degree, less qualified but extensively experienced scientists, or the equivalent of such a degree from other types of qualification systems in other worlds.

I am now accepting applications for these positions. If interested, you may send your resume and cover letter to [email]. It should be noted that my standards are extremely high and, while I have no expectation or intention of being able to replace the assistants I had at home, I will not accept anything less than rational, empirical, intelligent minds with ambitions of a career in forensic science. Specialties in most scientific fields will be considered (anthropology being preferred but not required); individuals with backgrounds in multiple science fields are ideal. As much as I appreciate the tendency of scientists to organize their fields of study into smaller categories in order to gain a deeper, more precise focus on their subject, ridiculously narrow fields (such as forensic podiatry) are unlikely to be considered helpful.

You may visit the website of the NYC Office of Chief Medical Examiner or contact me directly for more information. I look forward to working with the NYPD to make this city a safer place.

That was another exciting week, wasn't it? It was great. Connor - your present is coming.

Angela
So. Hi.

Okay this writer needs a break. I'm thinking of going out and hitting the city. Now who wants to join me? Cocktails and dancing anyone?

[Filtered to Spider family and friends (and fellow Stark employees!)]

Guess who's working at Stark Industries now?

Lab technician in Chemical Engineering, FTW!

Happy Halloween to me.



Thanks, Castle. This is one way to make me forget the Red Sox won the World Series.

I don't think I've expressed recently how nice it is to be working for an organization with a large budget. This is even better than the Jeffersonian at home.

No offense, Brennan - but it's true. Sorry. Dinner's on me tonight?

Okay, so to take my mind off the last several hours of the TV show I just saw that I'm apparently "from"....I'm trying to pick a Halloween costume for this party coming up.

( Click for choices! )

Brennan, are you doing your usual?

( Cut for big image, possible spoilers for those not up to date with the Bones fandom )

Did you know about this? Guys?

You know, this is just-

Is this the sound of my brain breaking? The- no sound at all? No coherent thought? The-

There is no way that is going to go as planned. Just because we're us.Or we're going to be called into a murder scene in our finery. Well, that's just- Us?

Bones
Did you know? And Parker's there.

Angela
Don't say it.
