The Doorway: a panfandom game

[NEO-FUTURISTS*]

Heads up, team. The Staten Island ferry has been attacked by a pack of goblin sharks. We need to mobilise immediately. The people on board the ferry and the island need to be evacuated as quickly as possible. We will need to coordinate with another team in order to speed up the process, so I've invited the Fantastic Avengers to join us.

[FANTASTIC AVENGERS*]

My team-mates and I are heading out to evacuate the Staten Island ferry and whoever's stranded on the island still. Would you all like to join us? The more people there are, the less time it will take.

Who: The whole game!
When: Leading up to Christmas
Where: Under tree. Delivered with bows. Handed to a person. Whatever!
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 so many posts that it would overrun the game. 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 to as soon as you get their information up! In recognition of the time it can take to determine IC gifts, (properly tagged) gifts can count as a piece of activity for the gifting character for the month of December. <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.

25,000 dollars is totally reasonable for a purse, ?

Alright. Stark Expo's a little under 3 weeks away and we have time for a pitch presentation so check with your collabs if it's a multi-company project. If it's just your work, that should be fine.

We'll do a dry run through on the 16th.

How do you know if leftovers are still good?

No clue what this place is, but I'm giving it five stars for the hot red-head wake up committee and the third bedroom filled with nothing but electronics.

Does anyone like bulldogs? I have one that's about two years old who I'm looking to rehome. And maybe another one, slightly older, the dog from Pacific Rim.

Can anyone answer why a Chicago-based law firm is paying us out of a Cayman account?

That's your contract, right Newt?

Now accepting resumes. Pitches. Pizza requests.

Just checking.

No one ordered the 500 pizzas, right?

[ETA: Filtered to Ben Reilly + Tony Stark (616)]

We've stumbled upon about 495 too many pizzas.

Would your shelter be interested in taking any of them?

Apparently I'll be adding 'Tony Stark SWAT team' to our daily google alerts.

Herc is currently being ridiculous. Can we set up our meetings via skype tomorrow? At least until he's gone into work.

PEPPER POTTS (616):

Because I know you don't go anywhere or do anything without an internet connection.

When you're better, we should talk about seeing if we can fit in a visit to Rottnest Island.

MARA JADE:

Hey. You holding up all right wherever you are?

CLARKE GRIFFIN:

I saw I'm pr How are you doing?

Guess what I have tickets for, Mr. Taylor?

[ETA: Filtered to Tony Stark (616) + Dorian Gray]

Why isn't there a song on youtube for this?

There's something wrong with my coffee maker. Can I use yours?

Notes from Christmas: When you live in a haunted house, coal's not the surprise you need to worry about in stockings.

Although that said, really I'm not sure why coal would be the worst thing. Sure it's not the cleanest energy, but it burns, and you can always compress it into lab diamonds.

What are you thinking for Wednesday night?

There's the Stark Industries affair, but I don't know if I'm happy with my dress.

I barely remember the day my son was born. I remember leaving the base in a panic, and then I remember hearing him scream bloody murder and thinking this child was going to give us hell. Everything in the middle's a blur now. He was the light of our lives for eleven years, and then his mum died, and nothing was the same. I was a shit father after that. He was raised by machines more than he was raised by me, and I dragged him halfway around the world just so I could feel useful, so I could take revenge on the creatures who'd destroyed so much. He became a better pilot than his old man, and he knew our jaeger inside out. And he died. Because I made a mistake. Because I couldn't see through the trees clearly enough to know when to stop. All the time in the world can't make that right.

No one ever prepares you for that, as a parent. I don't think anyone can. I lost part of myself that day, and I've lost a part of myself twice here, each time he's left. And it's bullshit - to give us something and to take it away. It's bullshit. Once was enough.

Chuck's gone again.

After reading this, I finally understand what they were going on about in Pride and Prejudice.
