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 too as soon as you get their information up! <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.

FILTERED TO DELTA GROUP:

Now that finals are over and things are settling in for the holidays, I wanted to take this moment to congratulate all of you on a semester well done!

When you've got time, let me know when you'll be at your apartments. I'd like to drop off your Christmas gifts!

FILTERED TO KATNISS EVERDEEN:

Hello, Katniss. My name is Ms. Burkle, but I usually let my students call me Fred.

I noticed that you've only been here a few days, so I thought we could sit down and have a discussion about your education. Firstly, I'd like to ask how you're settling in?

Aside from your soul getting burnt up for an ancient demon to take over your body, knocking your "funny bone" is the worst thing ever. Sorry to anyone around apartment 607.

I think I'm possibly alone in thinking that the shop windows always go a bit over-board.

For those of you who are in the fighting group, please review the current patrol schedule and let me know if I should make any changes. If anyone wants to be added - or if any of you know others who would be good at helping with this sort of thing feel free to speak to me and I can speak with them, or you can speak with them directly and direct them to me.

[Filter: Lilah]

I've got a reservation for tomorrow night at seven pm - if you're free. It's been a while since we did dinner out.

[ETA: Filter: James]

Would it be possible to get a few of the watches with the RSTF people on it. I believe most have agreed to be on it, and if anyone doesn't want to be that's fine, but if we have a couple I'll keep one, and I'll probably give one to a few of the others - Buffy and Faith perhaps, maybe you should keep one, and that way if one or more of us disappear, others will still know and be able to report back to the group.

Can't believe it's already December. Then again, it was just February before I got here. How does that work anyway? With the whole skipping like six months things? Technically you should be "and a half" on your birthday, but I haven't done that since I was eight.

FILTERED TO ANGEL:

Okay, so hear me out. I've never been to the Rockefeller Center yet, and I haven't seen a tree lighting that wasn't the one in San Antonio which may as well have been a cactus.

So I was thinking maybe we could go tomorrow? Hang out, listen to the music, see the tree lighting ceremony?

I don't know. Maybe we could go get some hot cocoa or something after. Together. You and me. Maybe like a d

Um

Usually I hate to do this but can someone walk home with me? I'm so wound up right now I don't trust myself to not kick a little old lady in the face if she makes a move at me. I'm at the bank.

FILTERED TO ANGEL (After the bank robbery):

I need you to not freak out by what I'm about to tell you. Can you promise me that?

[Supernatural Task Force]

Some of you have likely seen James Potter's watch project already and may have already even taken advantage of it. If you are amenable, I'd like to have a watch with each of you on it, particularly those who do nightly patrols.

With the watch, we'll know if you've left because you've returned to your home reality, or because something more serious has happened.

This isn't a requirement mind you, because I know some of you may not be interested, but I'd appreciate your consideration of it at the very least. I'm happy to put myself on anyone's watch if you're so inclined as well.

And on a more business related note - how are patrols these days?

[Angel]

It feels rather as if it's been forever since I've spoken to you.

Did I tell you that Lilah and I moved in together?

[Lilah]

I want to go see Interstellar, are you interested or should I bother someone else with this notion?

FILTERED TO ANGEL:

I'm sorry! I can't say this in person because -- I am so emba Oh my god! SO sorry. I didn't know you had come home and you know, the whole mirror thing so I didn't see you there.

Okay, so I've been here a few months, and I don't think I've really gotten to know any of you so I thought I could ask a few questions and we could get to talking! Maybe if we don't click, someone else'll see your answers and talk you up.

What's your name?

This one's real easy, but I had to go back and add this in 'cause I forgot it. My name's Fred Burkle. Winifred, actually, but no one but my mom and dad call me that. A lot of that's because the science community is really rough on women sometimes. Just discounting them from the get-go because of our names, so I started going by Fred. Kind of a catch-22, because I should be trying to set an example, but if you can't even get your foot in the door, is there even an example to set?

How old are you?

I know this is a tough question for some of us. I spent 5 years in a demon dimension. Or at least, I spent five of my home dimension's years in a demon dimension. I'm not really sure how long it was in the demon dimension. Sometimes it seems like longer. I counted myself as twenty-eight because of the five, but supernatural stuff happening kind of changes that. And do I count this time jumping because it was ten years ago when I was 28, so does that actually make me 38?

What's your favorite food?

Near and dear to my heart. I love food. Pancakes, tacos, Chinese food. Those are my favorites. Tacos, though. I tried recreating food in Pylea, but it didn't work out so well. I had to use my imagination a lot though. I could go for some tacos right now actually.

Current favorite song?

I haven't listened to anything in a while, but that "All About the Bass" song sure is catchy!

Do you enjoy taking the subway?

I gotta admit, living in Texas and then California, I'm kind of torn between being really impressed, and REALLY missing my car.

One last one, a hypothetical, if you won the lottery, what would do?

It kind of depends on how much this lottery is. Cause science equipment ain't cheap. I'd do pretty much what I did in LA. Help the helpless, and I'd have money to be able to help more people.

So. It's your turn!

Thanks to an episode of Mythbusters, it has come to my attention that anything is science if you write it down. And that you can quote yourself as much as you want if you're the preeminent authority on something. So I'm conducting a scientific survey. For science. And I'd like honest answers from as many of you as possible:

How many of you have "died" at least once?

Please note if you died and came back, died and turned into a hell beast, nearly died but were never actually dead, returned after being missing and presumed dead, faked your own death, or had your death faked by another.

Your response may include the circumstances of your not-death, if you wish to disclose them. I encourage this if it's a good story. Otherwise, you know. Keep your shit to yourself.

FILTERED TO ANGEL:

Psst. Halloween party? :D

[Filter: Friends*]

It's October, and I learned a long time ago that it's dangerous to dress up on Halloween cause sometimes you can be your costume. Long story, or really not that long, more like 45 minutes if you want to watch it on Netflix, ANYWAY - the point is...

I think you should dress up for not Halloween, this Saturday night, and come over to my apartment, where we can eat pizza, play games, watch movies, eat cookies, and maybe cookie dough, and drink things.

Let me know if you can make it so I have enough pizza for everyone.

I figure the best way to figure out the 'which costume should I wear?' question, is to have opportunity to wear more than one costume. =D

OOC: If you think you are, you probably are!

FILTERED TO DELTA:

So, guys, how are midterms going? Does anyone need any last minute help? I'm really good at math and science! I could have her at genius level so fast your head would spin!

I mean, not literally. Or scientifically. Maybe supernaturally, though.

Okay, I'm going to shut up now.

FILTERED TO ANGEL:

Hi.

How do you feel about lemurs?

[Filtered to Fred Burkle]
How are you settling in?

You know you're from California when this weather is making you brrr.

FILTERED TO DELTA GROUP:

Hi guys, I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. It appears that Mr. Maximoff has been sent back to his dimension or he just took off and no one can find him and in the meantime, while we're waiting for him, I'll be taking over as your advisor.

My name is Fred Burkle. I don't mind if you call me Fred. I'm here to help you with anything you need. My cell phone number is [Number], and I'm more than happy to help with all kinds of problems. I kind of specialize in math and science and making things. I'm really a huge fan of inventing things so I always try to keep up with the latest inventions. (Glow in the dark kittens!! I missed a lot in the last ten years)

FILTERED TO ANGEL:

I want to go out vampire slaying tonight. Can we do that? After pancakes?

Okay, I'm going to pretend that I actually didn't forget that yesterday was my birthday. Although I think it would be okay if I did, since I was rehearsing all day with my fellow cellists. We did order in, and while we were taking breaks there was a lot of youtube going on, so it was LIKE a party.

That being said, would anyone like to join me in celebrating my birthday this week? I'm a lot of fun, I promise!

Filter to floors 9 and 10

Everyone okay? Need anything? I'm available!

[Filter: Fred Burkle]

I didn't do anything for y I know things have been awkwa

Thank you, Fred.

Okay, so I wasn't gonna look up the show I'm from since I found out I die and that my soul gets all burnt up so it's like there was never any me, but I'm curious and couldn't help it.

But at least I got a good laugh out of it.

( Cut for GIFS )

Yup. Those are my boys.
