The Doorway: a panfandom game

All right.

Who restarted the universe this time?

There's always something about this time of year that fills me with a desire for a hearty stew. Thinking I just might try my hand at one this year. Of course, this implies I'll need a wide batch of people to test it on to see if it's any good. Any volunteers?

( Sharon and Bucky )

I'm still alive.

Oz and I want to start a band. We need a drummer. Apply within.

Hey can I borrow your credit card again?

Who: The whole game!
When: Leading up to Christmas
Where: Under tree. Delivered with bows. Handed to a person. Whatever!

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.

I don't know if meeting people with soldiers is the best way to keep them calm.


I didn't fight the soldiers.

So the FBI predicted that this year's Black Friday would break the record on gun sales.

I did my part to help make sure their predictions came true! Anyone else?

Must be a Thursday.

As likely as it is for Dum Dum to make up rhymes whenever he pleases - is there something on at the tower, you know of?

You all right, old man?

I suspect some of you are enjoying this far more than others.

So. Tony. About that talk...think now's a good time?I have to say, it's been a good opportunity to get some reading done.

The Prime Minister of Canada and his wife dressed up as Han Solo & Princess Leia and went around trick-or-treatin' with the kids.

They're Hoth costumes, which I guess makes even more sense in Canada than it does most other places.

Just when you thought you'd seen everything...

Firstly, I'd like to give my compliments to S.W.O.R.D. I've endured enough trips like this one to know that it rarely goes this smoothly. The warm welcome and explanation of events has been beyond helpful and I am beyond grateful to have their hand in making sure I hit the ground with both boots firmly planted.

Secondly, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Steve Rogers. I've been told I'm a bit of a frequent visitor here, which hardly seems outside the realm of unreasonable these days. Unfortunate as it is, and is all too common as of lateI have no memory of these trips. To those of you whom I may have built ties with, I welcome you to reach out as soon as you feel comfortable so we might start the process of bridge building over again.

Lastly
I look forward to our time together and getting to experience a whole new version of New York City. I don't suppose anybody's got good news about the Dodgers here?

(OOC: Backdated to the end of the plot)

Alright. Seems that whatever this is, seems to be passing. Those who are in need of it, start feeding us what you need and where you are.

Rikki, Natasha, and allies who were inside:
Status reports. Get 'em coming in quickly.

Stony (616)
How prepared are we for a worst case scenario that doesn't involve?

After speaking with Sharon:
Sam Wilson (616):

That means you big guy. Give me some good news.

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?
/Filter

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

Right. I mean, I guess he could probably be up like, aqua-man or like ant-man. But Batman?

Come on.

But is that a thing here, you all are superheroes. You should fight to settle things. Hulk versus Wolverine, Captain Marvel versus Black Widow.

You could raise loads of funds for the orphans.

I have to say, the American habit of using BBQ to celebrate just about anything isn't the worst thing they've come up with.

[Steve(616)]

Well it looks like you're in charge. I'm not sure how well your Peggy was at taking orders.

[Secret Avengers: Natasha Romanoff, Clint Barton, Logan, Steve Rogers, Jessica Drew (all 616)]

I'm sure Steve has already talked to you a bit about the stuff we dug up overseas regarding the Red Skull clone and his room of clone buddies.

How would you guys feel about looking into a couple possible OsCorpish leads?

[Steve Rogers (616)]

Thoughts on the SHIELD restructure? It's been a while since I've had a desk(ish) job. But I thought maybe

[Bucky Barnes (616)]

Is that blood on my new towels?

[Natasha Romanoff (616)]

Let me hear you say Hey, Ms. Carter...

[Nick Fury (616)]

All right, I tossed it out to Barton's team.

Heading back stateside shortly. My apologies again for the rather abrupt and untimely leave. Hope the city's still in one piece.

Bucky, Logan, and Laura(616):

I appreciate the stay behind to follow up on the lead. I trust that, between the three of you, we're going to see this Protocide issue wrapped up as quickly as we can. Stay safe out there, and don't hesitate to call out for backup if you need it. I'll keep a jet on standby.

Rikki Barnes:

You still want that steak?
