The Doorway: a panfandom game

Do many of you have children that are not here with you now? How do you survive without them? I find it difficult to reconcile my presence here with the desire I feel to be near my daughter. She is a woman grown, and wed now but some months ago and even so always my child no matter the years that pass us by.

I miss her. The light and life that is inside of her.

Itarillë she is called in Quenya and Idril in Sindarin. 'Sparkling brilliance' in both tongues. She's blonde, like her mother before her. She likes to go barefoot through all her journeys, though nevermore than when we lived near the sea.

I miss her wisdom and her laughter. I miss her happiness. In some profound way it was tied to my own. I think, perhaps, because I did everything I could to see her smile again after the death of her mother.

And truly, she fought hard to see me smile too.

This world is making me fat. For those of you who enjoy physical activity, what would you recommend?

I We never talk about Philip. Isn’t that strange?

Did Maleficent come with you to Storybrooke?

[Lily Evans]
It has helped. Thank you.

Without knowing what the ingredients actually are, I have no way of cooking anything edible. This might not entirely be unlike Crichton trying to feed us space rodent.

I'm still enjoying my training. I've yet to have something thrown at me that I do not enjoy in some form.

Tifa's gone. I always This is the way it She'd punch me if she saw me doing this. I'd better get used to being alone if the enhancem

I'm not great company most of the time. Kind of worse than usual right now. But I could use a sword fight. Someone who won't back down. I'm pretty durable. You don't have to worry about hurting me.

I am uncertain how far sound carries in this building and as such would like to tender my apologies to the other residents on the 7th floor and those on the floors above and below if you were disturbed by the sound of an explosion early this morning. An experimental potion I was brewing turned unstable overnight and exploded this morning when I checked on it. I shall reinforce the silencing charms today so as not to disturb any of you in the future.

All of this winter weather news is making me want to go up into the mountains. People seem to think snow's some kind of emergency. Guess it's not such a big deal when you grow up in a place where you get snow and ice more often than not. I don't miss it, exactly. I just want to see what the rest of this place is like.

I don't believe I could accurately describe my hatred for this cold.

For once, it's making me wish I was a firebender.

Crichton took me out for helicopter lessons a few days ago. I missed being in the air, but the contraption took some getting used to. The Peackeeper technology is nothing like Earth technology. It's more sophisticated, less bulky. You can move a prowler with the slightest of touches. I felt like I was playing one of those arcade games instead of flying. While the thought was intended to make me feel more at home here, I'm afraid it managed the complete opposite. It made me miss my prowler. It made me miss space. It made me miss Pilot.

What is this frelling Valentine's Day everyone is going farbot over? What is this red shape that is all over everything?

I've been working at a garage for a while now. It's kind of nice. I work in the back, so there's not much of a problem with people recognizing me. It's weird, though. I don't know that much about how bikes here work. Mostly, I've been doing the cosmetic stuff. Getting dents out, polishing out scrapes, that sort of thing. One of the guys saw the movie, though. Said I should go to school. Thinks I'd be a good mechanic. He wants to open his own shop for custom bikes and told me he'd like me to help him out designing them.

Didn't know what to say, so I didn't say anything, but I haven't done anything like that. I mean, basic training, SOLDIER exams, that sort of thing, but that was 5 6? I was 13 and the labs were 4 years and then the year with Zack and I'm 24 now so that makes it 11 years ago.

Now that Zack's gone am I supposed to miss him this much when I know where he is?, I could use another sparring partner. Anyone good at fighting. It'd help if you're pretty durable. Quick. Don't mind swords.

... just practice, though. Nothing serious.

I'm guessing you could use some practice, too?

It seems to be in fashion to post with some degree of confusion upon first entering here.

But I won't be fashionable, no, no. Let's try this instead: I know exactly where I am and what I am doing here.

(I wish.)

FILTERED TO PEPPER POTTS:
Hi, I was wondering if it would be alright if I planned and hosted an "end of the world" party on the 13th floor on Thursday? I'd take care of all the decorating and cleaning and up and everything, no one would have to worry about any of that.

ETA: PUBLIC

Don't be this person, brush up on your R.E.M for the official Tesseract refugee End of the World Bash!

WHEN: This Thursday from 6pm until the world ends (or we kick you out)
WHERE: Potts Tower floor 13

FILTERED TO BONNIE AND ELENA:
We have shopping to do.

I am trying to build something, now.

IF I MANAGE IT..

WHO WANTS A BOOKSHELF THAT SORTS AND ALPHABETIZES!!!!!!?????


Cause... if it works.. it'll be awesome!

Who: Cloud Strife and Zack Fair
When: Friday, December 7, 2012 (evening)
Where: Outside Potts Tower
What: Friends are reunited.
Rating: TDB (may be mention of character death, injury, human experimentation, and emotional trauma)

( Zack's death had been such a large part of Cloud's life that thinking of him any other way took some adjustment. )

First things first, CLOUD, they said you were here. Are you doing okay?

Second things second, spent awhile trying to decide whether or not I'm suffering some sort of post-battle hallucination, but if nothing else, the things people have been saying on this network thing make me think that it would have to be something especially crazy to get this kind of scale. Mako can do some crazy stuff, but suddenly hallucinating that everyone is hallucinating is probably pushing it on the craziness scale.

If nothing else, it's nice to have Shinra off my back. Hopefully these SHIELD people knew what they were talking about when they said Shinra isn't an issue here. Aaaand guess I'd figure it out pretty soon if not.

Haven't introduced myself, though! The name's Zack Fair, first class SOLDIER. SOLDIER doesn't seem to exist here, but I guess it's pretty self-explanatory, huh?

Oh for crying out loud...DANIEL! Daniel, they told me you were around here, so where are you so you can explain this to me?

For good measure, I'm going to yell your name down my closest hallway: DANIEL! (I wrote it down in case you missed it)

I don't really need another secret government organization in my life. One is enough for me.

And why am I passing TV characters in the halls?
