Erik is gone? That can't be right.

Think she would lend me that outfit for prom?

You're all murderers, aren't you?

It's an unsettling thought, when you realise that you've killed fewer people than the majority of your neighbours, and they all seem to think the murders they committed were justifiable. I wonder what the total body count for Tower Residents is -- not even including the recent vampire massacres.


[Tony Stark]
((a continuation of Dorian and Tony's #RealTalk started Here))

The trouble is, Tony, that when it comes to murdering seven billion people, or anyone, it isn't about what's right or wrong -- it's about choosing a side. You might imagine that you're doing the right thing for the people you care about, but that's all. You're never going to get a divine moment, you're never going to know for certain if you ever did the right thing and the consequences of your actions may very well reach on long after you die.

Morality, like art, means drawing a line someplace -- All it is, all it's ever been, is the ability to be unwavering. There is no right and there is no wrong, there is only movement forward. People live, people die and they always have. You've played a role in that, so have I and so has nearly everyone else here. There are really only two kinds of people, those that live and those that exist. Those that live are the ones who get to make decisions, to experience the light and darkness in themselves, that paint and play and create. To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all -- and those that do, the world happens to them. You can argue about their opportunities or lack thereof until you're blue in the face, but the truth is still that the choice was never theirs -- it was always yours because you earned it and because you took it. All you can do, Tony, is give it up. Give up living, give up the position you put yourself in and go work for one of those companies that'll pay you desperate amounts of money. Or don't. Continue to choose a side, continue to take lives in the interest of helping others, continue to let your ego rule you -- if that's what you want to do.

It's about drawing a line someplace -- but the line isn't drawn in deciding who to kill, it's long before that. You chose trump, deaths are just following suit.

I was nearly attacked on the street today because apparently I was mistaken for a vampire. I don't have many these days, but that was definitely a first.

One sparklevamp down, how many more to go?

Seriously, though, these things are a pain. Don't try to fight one by yourself. In fact, if you see one, best best is to let SHIELD know and get the hell away from it.

That. Was. Brilliant. I don't think I've had that much fun since- well, before I arrived here. Thanks for having me along.

Is it true? You're back? Er, not that you'll have the foggiest who I am since no one ever remembers being here, so hello! I'm Dorcas. I'm from your world and we were friends when you were here before, so if it IS true, I'm bloody glad to see you.

You'll also probably be pleased to know some of our mates figured out how to charm brooms to fly here so we could play Quidditch. Not sure about the balls or if anything was ever properly organised, but we went with Harry to play with Muggles a bunch of times and-

I'm rambling. I missed you Welcome to New York, Oliver Wood. If you need anything, give me a shout.

I've never had the opportunity to compare something I fought to a disco ball before. Interesting experience, but I prefer the vamps from our world, or the demons. Either way, it was nice to be able to do something productive.

Perfect. After the week I've had, I needed a way to take out my anger.

I do love a good challenge. Almost makes me miss that Edward bloke, at least he could keep up.

You're the only one I know that could probably have a chance against them. Care to join me?

Okay. Being barricaded at a coffee shop is not my idea of fun. What is WRONG with this guy? It's like he bathed in a dozen glitter eggs.

Here is a copy of my summary of what we know about Vampires from the Twilight world:

• They are extremely fast.
  
• They have physical strength stronger than any human and are able to lift objects hundreds of times their own weight, may stop a cement truck on a freeway with one hand.
  
• Sparkle in the sunlight.
  
• Related: skin and bodies are made of a material that is hard as diamond and is very difficult to penetrate.
  
• Enhanced sense of sight (sharper vision than humans, unhindered by darkness)
  
• Hearing enhanced: can hear even the smallest most muted sounds
  
• Extremely flexible.
  
• Do have reflections in mirrors and can show up in photographs.

For those of us who are used to the ‘traditional’ vampire mythology * it does not apply here. These vampires will not be harmed by sunlight (see above sparkle), garlic, holy water, silver, any type of stake or cross, and they do not require permission to enter a home. Human weapons including bullets, axes, etc, are likely to bounce off of them without any pain.

The best way to kill them? Dismember the body and burn the remains.

My recommendation is to have flame throwers available for those of us who do not have super strength and allow those who do have stronger and faster than human reflexes to move in to dismember the bodies. Any vampire that we succeed in dismembering should be burned completely.
I believe this summarizes what I’ve found, but Giles, if I’ve missed something please add it. And if anyone else has experience with these particular vampires that would be useful for us to know about please note it as well.

*I say that with quotations because what is traditional in each of our worlds may be slightly different, but the ‘traditional’ lore in this reality and the traditional lore in my own reality are similar.

May be a ridiculous question, but I don't suppose you have any interest in going to this prom they're having?

Is there anyone who isn't excited about mundane prom, or am I the only one who plans on staying as far away from that as possible?

The flu is the worst thing in the world! I'm really glad I'm over it, because yuck. Being sick is the worst!

Everyone's been talking about this prom they're having here in the tower. I never got to go to prom, not since I dropped out to go to the Institute before I was old enough to go. I guess if I hadn't gone to Pandemonium that night I would have gone with Simon.

Even if I hadn't, though, Mom would probably still be

I can't bring myself to look it up, but my mom. Do we [...] Does she ever wake up? She's still in the coma where I came from. That's why I was in Idris, to look for someone who could help her.

Hey, I was wondering if you needed any help with decorations for the prom? I'd be happy to lend my art skills if you need any help!

I know there's a Society of Displaced Rebels Against Kings and Rulers around here, which ain't exactly what I'm looking for. Let's see if I can phrase this right. I ain't knocking it. But I'd like to start a group that's more me? Displaced Military something something?

Meaning, I ain't a rebel. I do as I'm told, even if they turn out to be things I ain't ever gonna be proud of. There ain't an officer out there who's got some regrets about something in their military careers. Some even got more than just a few. Reckon you just learn to live with it. But yes, I do as I'm told. Mostly. I improvise a lot, okay? I got a list of medals, ribbons and recommendations that's longer than my forearm. I salute the flag. When the National Anthem comes up, I stand up. I always stood up, regardless of whether I was bedridden or in a wheelchair. That's how I rolled. Literally, once upon a time. And yes, my doctors gave me some serious side eye for even trying.

I've just come from an alternate timeline where I was stranded, basically in a witness program where I was forbidden to rejoin the military, fly anything or even talk about my experiences in Stargate. I ain't gonna do that again. I flat out refuse.

And I miss my job. My original timeline. Because. It's normal.


Pft,they're just looking at me funny because we got beat up. But we WON!

But I know I'm not alone.

And if this just turns out as a group where we war veterans just talk about our experiences, that's okay too.

Well, I can't exactly complain about a New York in which attractive superheroes wearing spandex is a real thing. But one in which my apartment does not exist?

Unacceptable.

Hope the suits don't mind redecorating around here.

MERCEDES WAS BACK IN THE SHOW.

As a hallucination in the background. But she's my bestie too and I was standing right next to her.

But seriously Rachel, a red shirts with ruffles? I would never wear that. Really, hon? No. Just no.

Sush. I'm under the weather and there was nothing else on TV. All I did was bake cookies anyway. And squeal.

Alec, thank you for the poster! And the CD. You're a real dear.

I almost dared to forgot how subtly heartbreaking an empty space next yours in the bed is. Just an observation that might not be so healthy. Maybe I should switch to a single bed? Or move to a 2 bedroom and get a roommate? Questions, questions.

Julie, sorry for disappearing on you last night. I even forgot to text you.

But on to more pressing concerns. I didn't dream up the honorary Weasley part? And more pressingly, how did my TV move up in the hall?

Anybody else feel like they're getting really settled? I've got a job, a girlfriend and now I'm enrolled part-time in college.

I still miss the fact that there's no flying cars, but nothing like a transport to the future to make you feel like an adult. Geez.

BRB, shacking up in a coffee shop for the rest of the evening. Starbucks coffee beans trump rotten eggs.

Also, book recommendations? I'll stop off at the library on my way to my bad-odorless refuge.

Has anyone else seen our new movie trailer? Our Marks look drawn on by Isabelle's eyeliner. The muns who're making this movie clearly have no idea what a Mark looks like.

I love this city at night. I found this club that likes to throw a lot of '20 themed parties.

I miss the '20s. Now there was a good time.

Izzy, I figured out the show. ( cut but not filtered )
We're mermaids. There's also a lot of our faces together in pictures from google. Guessing the actresses are best friends in real life.

I don't know know about anyone else, I'd rather be a vampire. Maybe hum

It seems that everywhere I turn in this city is another woman threatening me with weapons.

Yes yes, I completely support women's rights and think they should have the right to vote, etc. etc. But I also wonder when holding a sword and sparring because a prerequisite for womanhood.

I would much prefer to date someone who didn't carry something at her side that could kill me at any moment. Especially when women seem nearly honor-bound to threaten me. It gets tiresome, really.
