The Doorway: a panfandom game

FILTERED TO YOUNG AVENGERS & FRIENDS OF CASSIE LANG & KATE BISHOP:

I've got bad news, guys. Cassie's been sent home. To di We were having breakfast this morning when she disappeared.

I won't be around for a while.

I've been reading the news since I got here, and history books, trying to catch up. The staff at the library already recognize me. I can't imagine how hard it'd be to figure this place out if you're a couple hundred years behind. At least a lot of the big events are familiar to me. Some of the things I've read don't make it hard to see how we got to where we were.

The popular culture's over my head more often than not, but I guess that's what happens after your entire civilization has to change to survive. I wish someone had warned me how addicting Candy Crush is.

HAPPY HOGAN:

You're in charge of security at Stark Industries, right?

OCTAVIA BLAKE & CLARKE GRIFFIN:

Are we still on for getting out of town?

Who: Bellamy Blake & Kate Bishop
When: After Kate's party.
Where: In bed. I think we agreed Bellamy's.
What: Bellamy's subconscious is asking up, so they talk about their demons.
Warnings: Nudity that isn't really mentioned at all. Trigger warning for mentions of violence, rape, ... murder.

( He didn't want one of his only friends here changing her mind about him if she knew the kind of person he really was - and was going to be. )

Was anyone else at or around the vigil for the Butterfly Girl last night? Tris and I were there and some kids threw bricks at us. I'd press charges, but I didn't actually see any of them and they got away. There were maybe six of them and they were wearing hoods.

FILTERED TO BELLAMY BLAKE:

So who's Kate? What's this about?

Mad love to everyone who came out to the party last week. It was a blast. The first part of the year is always so lacking when it comes to celebrations. Aside from Smellintine's Day.

FILTERED TO AMERICA & CASSIE:

Anyone else have a great after party? ;)

I say we party that the end of the world didn't happen! Light up the 13th floor, dance until we can't dance anymore.

PARTY TONIGHT ON THE 13TH FLOOR. STARTS AT 8PM! GOES TILL YOUR LEGS GIVE OUT.

I'm feeling about 95% better, so I'm feeling the need to offer my services. If anyone needs errands run or medicine or anything, let me know. I promise not to wear war paint.

FILTERED TO BELLAMY BLAKE:

Especially you dumbo. You still look like shit.

Not to make this place sound like a broken record, but I'm sick, too. If anyone needs me, I'll be buried under a large pile of blankets.

How does anyone get a job here that can actually support themselves without a college education or relevant work experience in the field? We're lucky we don't have to pay for these apartments, or many of us would be really shit out of luck.

This is how people get sucked into doing things they don't really want to be doing, because they don't think they have a choice, and often, they don't. We got trapped this way on the Ark, too. We all had a part to play to keep it going, we'd do what our parents did, or we'd start training young because we were good at whatever it was. I was never g Or we'd do things we weren't proud of because it meant we'd see another day, or it meant having food on the table. It's not any different here, but I can't even say I'm surprised. The only thing I'm remotely qualified for is a security guard or soldier. I don't know a damn thing about waiting tables or working in an office. Maybe I'll just have Starbucks teach me how to make coffee and be done with it.

CLARKE GRIFFIN, OCTAVIA BLAKE, RAVEN REYES:

I'm going to watch the show on Wednesday if anyone wants to join me. I can buy us something to drink. There's only one condition: no fighting.

OCTAVIA BLAKE:

You need a guardian, and I'm not going to let some company I know nothing about do this for me. You'll have to go to school, at least for a while. It could be good for you.

I wanted to apologize for my really rude first post on this network. I was disoriented and I wasn't going to leave my brother to die in that mountain. I needed to know that he was safe. I make no excuses for my behavior, only ask for some understanding.

I guess I should probably introduce myself. My name is Octavia Blake. Bellamy's my brother. This world is nothing like the one I just came from, even though they're both called Earth. We're from the future, but I don't know if it's this world's future. That sounds crazy. It sounds weird to say, too. I don't know.

Can I start over?

Guys, this weather is killing me. It's March. It's supposed to be warmer than this by now. What God do we need to pray to or ritualize to get the snow and sleet and grossness to go away?

FILTERED TO BELLAMY BLAKE:

I had fun the other night. We should do it again sometime.

FILTERED TO AMERICA CHAVEZ & CASSIE LANG:

You guys wanna do something this weekend? I haven't figured out what, but I was thinking something indoors. We could go see Chappie or go shopping. I'm open to ideas.

WHERE IS MY BROTHER? I swear to god if they told me he was here just to get me to calm down, I'll be really angry.

Note to self: get a new eyemask. This one smells like subway.

FILTERED TO TOMMY SHEPHERD:

Hey you. How are you?

FILTERED TO BILLY KAPLAN:

You know what we need? A gossip day over coffee.

FILTERED TO YOUNG AVENGERS:

What do you guys think about a training session at the mansion? Been a while.

Who just scored a two cashmere scarves, a pair of leather gloves, the most adorable winter hat ever, all on 80% off clearance?? Yep. That's me. I love after season shopping. We'll just see if I'm here long enough to wear them next year.

Speaking of next year, I am officially accepted at NYU for fall semester. Right now I have this crazy desire to take like all the linguistics classes, but I'm not certain that 'reading ancient runes' has relevance outside of Sister of the Slayer Research Gal career? So probably should balance it out with some actual classes for actual skills for an actual career that pays actual money, huh?

To celebrate, I'm thinking it's been a really long time since I've done a movies/game/junk food night - so next weekend there will be cookies, popcorn, we can order pizza and we can do an awesome round of Cards Against Humanity if you want. I even ordered a bunch of fandom card sets because who doesn't want to play this pair?

Friends are totally invited, but anyone is really welcome. It's like a Potts Tower open house celebration of Dawn Summers getting her act together finally!

My plans for Saturday night: Eat so much I end up with the world's biggest food baby. Drink so much I forget where I live.

My plans for Sunday: Regret everything I did on Saturday night.

I am beginning to adjust to this place although it still seems very odd. At least I can use this machine now thanks to Lady Inara who showed me how it works.

Though I am very far out of my own time, I am grateful that my daughter is here with me. Were I still at home, I would be dead now and I wouldn't have been able to see Elizabeth grow up. Now we're together and I can see what a beautiful young woman she has become. I feel very blessed to have this opportunity to spend time with her.

Now I find that I must find some means of employment. I know nothing about working. I have been a lady in waiting and a queen. Neither of those professions exists here so what am I to do? I would be wiling to consider any suggestions.

[ RAVEN & BELLAMY: ]
Where are you?

I've been here nearly a week, and I managed to eat so much that I made myself sick. Worth every second. And I got to really see snow. There's a winter storm that shares my sister's name. She would have loved that.

For those of you who've been here a while, what should someone who spent the first twenty three years of his life in space see and do here? Earth didn't look anything like this for us. No cities. Not anymore.

So this is New York City.

Not bad.

I hear I know people here. Where the hell are you, Clarke?
