The Doorway: a panfandom game

Soooo....this is new?

Spider-Clan:
And I don't really like it.

Rikki and Anakin:

Tell me you're not both inside.

Natasha:
Fury tells me he thinks you're on the inside. How are things in there?

Open to all known allies and friends:
Alright. Give me a head count boys and girls, who's inside and who's out?

Worst vacation spot ever.

What happened? Did someone hit the panic button to send the tower to another dimension?

I'm thinking about setting up a Study Room, a quite workspace in the Youth Centre where students can come and do their homework after classes, away from whatever Tower crazy the tesseract is causing - or roommates, or video game consoles, or anything else that might be distracting.

Would that be of interest to anyone?

Secondly, would anyone be interested in offering extra help, or tutoring to students who might need some homework assistance? ESD classes are small, so I'm sure a lot of the professors can probably cover this on their own - but if someone was even interested in being a kind of homework candy striper, that might be a good idea. Moral support can go a long way!

It's a Péché Mortel kind of a morning.

[Outdoor Survival Students: Rue, Beth Greene]

All right. Seeing as I know the two of you got experience when it comes to knowing how to survive, we'll jump right into it. Meet me in the Potts Tower lobby at 2100. Bring what you think you're gonna need, and we'll see how right you are.

[Laura Kinney]

I think you should sign up for my Outdoor survival class, kid. Maybe Fury's Military training one too, I like him a lot better'n the last guy who taught it.

[Secret Avengers + Spider-Ben, Spider-Man]

So. What are we doing about this OsCorp bullshit? We still on? I don't wanna lean too hard on the IRS - might catch something.

So far we have fewer vampires, check. More weirdo stalkers who want to talk about your non-existent love-life, check. Invitation to New York Fashion Week - A world of yes.

I'm cool here. We're good.

I need another job to occupy my time. I don't exactly have a lot of job experience but I am a fast runner. I'm open to job suggestions.

Hey, you know who sucks?

Oscorp, amirite?

[Ben Reilly & Johnny Storm]

Okay, are you two busy like right now? Because it looks like there's gonna be a Thor / Hercules fight in Battery Park. And -- you know. There should be people there. To uh, what the crowds, and make sure no one gets in their way. Not for any other reason. Like watching this go down.

Hey, so, short time no see. About yesterday and barging in like that, I-

I'm sorry for that. And putting you both on the spot. Although more sorry to you than- I mean, her hospitality knows no bounds, right? But I know how it can be doing that dance around her, so- sorry. Just, sorry. If I had remembered, I wouldn't have done that, but all I had were routes and general ideas of things and I made the mistake of going on autopilot and as if my memories weren't messed up enough.

Did I happen to say sorry? There's a 5 apology minimum on these sorts of things, right?

... hi? Are you around? Do you have your memory?

[Avengers - All Teams]

By now, I'm sure you've all seen what happened in Johannesburg, and you deserve an explanation.

Someone, who we encountered at Strucker's castle, has the ability to control or influence minds. We don't know how she gained these abilities yet. We know about the White Event, and we also know that HYDRA has been messing with human experimentation and cloning. This person has, thus far, influenced the majority of the team, and she influenced the Hulk while the Avengers were in Johannesburg for other reasons.

Stark Charities have already allocated relief funds and resources, and we're going to do whatever we can to help the area. And we're ignoring, and going to continue to ignore, the protestors who are demanding for the arrest of the Hulk. That's non-negotiable.

But, I think... we all need to aware of what else is going on right now -- Why the Tinkerer's toys were back in play.

Bruce Banner and I were working on an AI system which has escaped Stark labs, taking on a life of it's own. He was responsible for taking JARVIS off line -- and was in Johannesburg trying to find weapons, from what we've been able to figure out.

We also know that he's calling himself Ultron. Which is why I thought we should... talk about what to do next.

[Potts Tower Residents, Stark Tower Employees]

There are protesters outside Stark Tower calling for the arrest or surrender of the Hulk. Whether you agree or disagree, that's up to you. But I ask you show the protestors nothing but respect.

[Howard Stark & Edwin Jarvis]

I'm fine.

[Pepper Potts (MCU)]

Well, I didn't die. And we're safe.

Seriously. I mean, I know New York is a rough place and everything, but diverting a train to an abandoned station to try and get your grubby little fingers on my wallet is every kind of overly elaborate. Good thing I took those self defense classes.

Mindy McCready

All the crap aside, nice moves today.

I wish morning sickness would stop. I do not like it. The doctor said it would be over soon.

I would like to go to the zoo. There is one here, yes?

[Cosima]

Will you come to the zoo with me?

The PTYC rented out a few rooms at the Broadway Hotel on the Jersey shore. Anyone is welcome to come with, we're bussing out at 4:00pm today, and we'll be back on Thursday, so it you need a post-holiday holiday on the beach, now is your chance -- going once, going twice.


[Johnny Storm + Ben Reilly]

I'd tell the two of you to stay out of trouble while I'm gone, but that feels like I'm just asking for something to happen, doesn't it?

Today really sucks.

( Hoban Washburne )

So. New York is expensive, and because no thank you to service industry jobs, nobody's in need of tutoring or babysitting services are they? I mean, I can't exactly provide references here, but I'd be more than happy to go through the usual interviewing process.

Or does anyone know of any place looking to hire a paid intern anywhere? My specialties include: Coffee and pizza delivery, being pretty quick when it comes to filling orders, and I grew up on science so I'm not completely lost when less than socialthere either.

Seriously though. Please save me from a life of serving coffee. Not that there's anything wrong with serving coffee -- the people who do it are like the left ventricle of the world, keeping the rest of us going into the long hours of finals prep -- I'm just kind of not good at it.
