The Doorway: a panfandom game

Hail good people of Potts Tower! I have returned from my voyages with the Tesseract, and have consulted with those who know its heart better than we do. I believe we can send you home.

[Filtered to MCU Avengers + Jane Foster, Peter Quill, Abigail Brand, Phil Coulson, Carol Danvers (EMH)]

Banner, Quill and I have returned. What have I missed?

[Filtered to MCU SHIELD/SWORD/Avengers + Carol Danvers (emh), Jane Foster]

With the recent acquisition of the Time Gem, as well the Tesseract and my Vision, I am becoming increasingly unsettled with the proximity of so many Infinity Stones so close to Midgard.

I believe the Time Gem will be safe in Asgard's coffer, but I think we should speak frankly on the fate of the Tesseract.

[Filtered to SWORD in the City]

Do you think we would do better focusing our efforts on the Statened Isle.

Who cares to join me.

[Filtered to Peter Quill]

A question, my friend.

I really thought fast, travel-by-suit would cut down on feeling jet-lagged. I was wrong.

[Alex Vause]

Bulk up the legal team, and get them on stand-by. Just in case.

[MCU Avengers - who went to the UN meeting]

How are we reading how that all panned out?

[Bruce Banner (MCU)]

If you had to pick one, which Walberg would you consider quintessentially 90s? Like, would you say it's New Kids? Or Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch? It's honestly all I could think about during the inquest.

[Steve Rogers (MCU)]

How's your headspace, soldier?

[Bucky Barnes (MCU)]

I need a favour. On the down low.

[Filtered as MCU]

Do I count as an illegal alien?

Me.

Barkspawn's awake! Cora Cora Cora! Everyone! He ate half my food before we got to the Barking Lot. So if you wake up with a hungry pet, bring them down. We got something for any animals this realm expects. And if you need something else, I don't know, lets go hunt for it.

Filtered: Thor, Fandral

Pardon the intrusion, I know Lady Sif must be busy serving your king, but I do wonder what it might take to earn an invitation to your realm? It is a private place, I know, but I would happily fight by her side.

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.

I'm used to giant sandwiches and pizza slices trying to interest me in food. But someone handed me a flier on "the Museum of Feelings" that promises to make me feel optimistic, joyful, invigorated, exhilarated or calm depending on which room of theirs I walk into. The company logo at the bottom suggests I could feel regret after euphorically purchasing many of a perfect custom scent. But admission is free, and I can be a bit reckless.

How are you faring? It sounds as though the tesseract should be more active this month. Hopefully in the spirit of earth's holidays. Winter's frequently the time for holidays, so I imagine you may have your own celebrations as well. It is a busy time?

Tomorrow is the day on which Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. It's day for being thankful for what we have in our lives, for another year of existence, for our health and our happiness.

I don't believe that we should limit that to just one day a year however. It's something we should practice every day and I know I'm not always the best at doing that. So tonight I'd like to say thank you to all the people in my life who make it special. There are far too many to name but you know who you are. You make me smile, you make me laugh, you're there for me when I need a smile or a hug, or just someone to listen.

I am forever grateful to each and every one of you.

[Thor}

I'm most thankful for you. Our relationship has been far from traditional but I don't care. You make me happy and my life is so much richer because you're part of it. I love you.

[Thor (MCU)]

Is the world going to be stable for the next fifteen minutes, do you think?

Because I need to talk to you about something. And I'm not sure how to.

[Filtered to Sif, Fandral, and Torunn, MCU Avengers, Jane Foster (MCU)]

Thanksgiving is coming up. Where do we wish to hunt game for the festivities this year?

I still think Africa has many interesting beasts.

[Filtered to SWORD mission]

This is exactly why Midgard should stay out of galactic affairs. Why anyone should actually.

Before Nova Corps has decided they can only meet with the Shi'ar once we have found them a paragon among the Korbin who will only go with us if we can negotiate a truce between Arcturus IV and the Poppup who need a cocktail napkin with Ego's phone number or any other ridiculous nonsense. We go to Knowhere, and we re-negotiate with the Collector.

We do not play errand boy.

[Filtered to Jane Foster]

I shall be back and soon I hope. But definitely in time to be your arm candy for this ceremony.

Or I may have to break some skulls.

Jane Foster needed no prize to make the world aware of her greatness. But we'll be celebrating her and Erik Selvig in any case.

Drinks at Sam's are on me, for the foreseeable future. Please stop by.

As the lady Sif has announced, we are back, and none too soon for Torunn's schooling. Either way, we shall celebrate this weekend, at Sam's. We've brought some solid ale back.

[Filtered to Jane Foster (MCU)]

But I think tonight I shall leave homecoming celebrations private.

I missed you, ástin mín

[Filtered to Avengers (MCU) + Brandvers + Fandral & Sif]

It was not a fruitless visit, we consulted a wise man who was versed well in the legends of the stones and of the realms themselves back into the time of my father's father. And I believe that we

But barring that we've also a book.

Two remain at large, the Time and the Soul Gem, and perhaps it is best they remain at large, but our sage seemed to think wheels in motion will not be easily stilled.

We should talk. Here or elsewhere.

[Filtered to Jane Foster (616)]

I heard an interesting tale regarding you.

[Filtered to Wanda & Pietro Maximoff (MCU)]

Sooooo

You're both still alive, right?

[Filtered to Founding Avengers + Hill]

I still need to borrow ten dollars.

Steve you are the cheapest rescue squad ever.

[Filtered to Asgardians, Jane Fosters, Vision]

I am making preparations to leave for Asgard on the morrow. I expect to be back within a fortnight, but you know how Court can be.

The Tesseract I shall be leaving in the care of my Vision and in our sister Sif, unless you have changed your mind and still wish to join us, in which case you would be joyously welcomed.

[Filtered to MCU Avengers, Abigail Brand, Carol Danvers (emh)]

I am returning to Asgard and thence to Vanaheim to enquire what my mother's kin can tell of the Infinity Stones. I shall bring back what knowledge I have, and any tools I may otherwise acquire.

Keep close guard of the Tesseract though I shall not abandon it entirely. I leave Mjolnir with my Vision.

[Filtered to Avengers]

Carol Danvers, the one who manages the Sentient World Observation and Response Department, has suggested that it would be prudent if, though we bear no guilt, we can all account for our actions this morning in case attention does fall on our agency.

For instance, I was at SWORD with my party and several Midgardian agents.

[Filtered to Loki]

I still have Sansa. I should bring her by and we can break bread and discuss what has occupied you of late

[Filtered to Asgardians + Jane Foster (sure, both), Darcy Lewis, Torunn]

I am certain you have all seen talk on the news. I am well. Sokovia has seen better days, I assume. Although, I have found postcards. Perhaps that is an ambitious statement to make.

In any case, I am staying here for a time to aid in recovery, but when I return, shall take my brother's Sceptre to the All-Father.

[Filtered to Thor, Sif, Fandral, Jane Foster (MCU)]

The Sceptre is neutralized. It did, in fact, contain the Mind Stone as we feared, though no longer does.

Stark's research on the sceptre led to the possession of this Ultron, but it has also found a new home, in a vibranium body. He is calling himself Vision, and Mjolnir found him worthy, so I am inclined to agree.

As this is the fourth Infinity Stone in as many years, and two are on Midgard, I have informed SWORD and the Avengers of the presence and existence of these stones. I have received oath that this information will not be shared.

There is no immediate rush to return home, but I visited the Waters of Sight and gave myself to the Norns. What I saw does confirm my fears regarding the Infinity Stones. And I am eager to learn what I can of these beyond nursery tales and whisperings picked up training too close to the library.

[All MCU - Thor, Tony Stark, Clint Barton, Natasha Romanoff, Sam Wilson, Bruce Banner]

We're not going into that meeting empty handed. We need a detailed incident report from our end -- details about Stark and Banner's work on Ultron and Vision, and we'll need information about the stone, Thor. Cooperating is our best shot of getting them back to what's important, which should be sending aid to Ultron's victims.

[Wanda Maximoff]

I want you to sit out of the meeting Danvers called. I'll come talk to you and Pietro afterwards.
