So can someone who isn't freaking out point me in the direction of the nearest arcade?

Question: what are the best MMORPG's to get involved in during this time of the century? None of them are going to be quite as immersive as the OASIS, I realize that (and jeez, all of you could really use it right now) but I honestly need to plug into something before I start plucking my hair out one by one.

Or if anyone's looking for a player two for anything, I'm your girl!

I'm supposed to believe this isn't all some sort of memory remix that someone's decided to subject me to?

Decades in the past, costumed heroes running about, and a tower full of people from fictional worlds that's fully provided and paid for. Either I'm a leaper or I've just gone mad.

And apparently I decided to go mad in America?

I want to thank everyone who helped me out when I arrived. And especially Doctor Watson, who got me to the doctor and got me some of that medicine. It's really helped with the headaches; I haven't had one since.

We don't have anything like that in Panem...or at least not that someone from District 12 can afford. And who cares if the poor are in pain or suffering, right?

Anyway.

Can someone tell me what's going on? I saw the news...are we at war?

Yeah, I know it's a day late and a dollar short, but I'm way surprised no one posted this. I mean, with everything that's going on, it's pretty damn inspirational still.
"Good morning. Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world, and you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. Mankind, that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences any more. We will be united in our common interest. Perhaps it's fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom. Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution, but from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live, to exist and should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice, 'We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on, we're going to survive.' Today we celebrate our independence day!"


For you otherworlders that have never seen the movie Independence Day, it's one of the best around, do yourself a favor while you can and watch it. Man always prevails, no matter what danger's thrown in it's face. I got faith in the heroes we have here, and the people that don't even know they can be heroes of this world.

I know I didn't make the cut for SHIELD, but, I also know you guys are going to be out there doing something about this guy. So good luck, and be safe. I don't need anymore dead friends, ya hear?

[Runaways/AA (sans anyone actually involved with SHIELD, sorry Berto!]
So uh.. I know I'm sounding more like Veil on this, but you guys wanna do something stupid and reckless? I'm all for being a cheerleader and all, but, we've got to help.

And may this day, like all your others, be brilliant.

Sometimes it's hard to judge how similar a world portrayed in a tv show compares to the world we're in or the world anyone here is from. Not knowing much about 21st century American politics in a world without a major war in the 1990s, I've read some books sure, but I like having something running in the background sometimes, so I've been watching The West Wing. It's almost fifteen years old, from the first season, but the issues in this world today - minus Iron Man, Thor, Captain America having existed, at least they don't reference him - are quite similar. They mention Osama Bin Laden before 9/11, issues with Syria without it being a civil war, and a very interesting relationship with Russia. This last century or so had talk of bureaucracy and negotiation in Russia. It is portrayed this way for American politics. There is a lot of pork.

I do like Jed Bartlett, not that I could vote for him. Are there other "fictional" presidents? Did Paris Hilton win fake president?

Well, there you have it, folks. I've officially lost my mind. I officially can't tell the difference between fact and fiction anymore. I'm officially FREAKING OUT.

Hello, everyone. My name is Virginia Potts. I'm better known as (and answer to) the moniker that Tony gave me many years ago, Pepper.

I wanted to take a moment to welcome you all to the Refugee Network. Tony Stark - as well as many others - created the network so you would have a safe space to talk without the prying eyes of the media. I'd like to give them a warm thank you for their hard work.

Some of you have been here for a while, and as of today, the Tesseract has given us more refugees than it has in the previous five months, and it's still going. I'd like to take a moment to thank the hard-working men and women of S.H.I.E.L.D. for their diligence and perseverance. Without their quick thinking when refugees began to appear, this would have been nearly impossible for any one of us to handle.

And on that note, Director Fury has asked me to pass along the message that they are in dire need for Administrative Staff to help with processing. Anyone who is interested can pass on a note to your Housing Assistant.

Speaking of, there should be one Housing Assistant per two floors (and in one case, three floors). Should you require any assistance, they should be able to help you. Potts Tower is not a new building, but we have gutted it, given it an ARC reactor for clean energy, a full service gym in the basement, an outdoor patio and pool area, and an entertainment area. We plan to utilize all of these areas in the upcoming holiday season in the hopes that it helps alleviate some of the melancholy of being without your families.

Once again, welcome to the Refugee Network and Potts Tower, and I look forward to getting to know you.

-Virginia Potts
