Battleword. Where Doom is god and creator, of all the absurdities in the universe. He, Stephen Strange, and the Molecule Man seemed to have saved what they could of the collapsing multiverse and shaped what was left to Doom's image, as it were. I still cannot believe Stephen would ally himself with Doom.

Needless to say, Stephen filled us in on the details once he'd awoken us from the Raft, only to sacrifice himself before Doom's god-like wrath in order to set things in motion for us. We were scattered across the patchwork planet - each with its own unique...ecosystems, you could say. I'm not entirely certain how to even describe each section of his world. Almost like miniature kingdoms so vastly different from one another. But the people there, they were not from our Earth, but pulled from various parallel earths when everything collapsed.

In the end, I marshaled the army of the dead as only the King of the Dead can, in a ruse that helped the others in bringing about Doom's ruin. It was not without sacrifice however and in the end, the world broke apart. I don't know the fate of Reed and the others. I saved myself by grabbing the reality stone that appeared at random. Then suddenly, I was back in Wakanda, as before the incursion, as if nothing had happened at all.

Beyond perplexing. But I'm grateful that all is back to normal, as some others here have said. It gives me a sense of peace at least, that in the end, the universe somehow reset itself to some degree.

My classroom is starting to look a bit empty and boring now that I've started sending the last of my students artwork home with them. I'm having a little trouble figuring out how to get their plants home without spilling - anyone have any suggestions?

I am trying to prepare my lesson plans for May but find my thoughts drifting back to the dreams. Now that I know things do not end as I thought, I'm desperately curious as to how things end up as they do. Both the patchwork planet where, of all people, Doom is a god, and then afterwards.

These dreams are starting to make life as a teacher seem so dull in comparison...

It seems after a long absence, the dreams decided to come back in a flood instead of a trickle. I have decided to take a personal day, as I am too exhausted to teach.

My own ancestors turned their backs on me when I refused to blow up a parallel earth in an incursion, and then Namor robs us all of our choices and does so anyway, killing billions to save our billions. I should have killed him when I had the chance. Even after that, with the Cabal continuing Namor's dirty work of continuing to destroy incursion worlds, and our efforts to find another way to stop the decay of the multiverse, it is all for naught. Every sacrifice, every attempt is like trying to stem a tidal wave with a single sand bag. It is useless.

In the end, we decide to create a life raft. An ark of sorts. We bring aboard some of the most brilliant minds and select individuals that can hopefully restart humanity elsewhere, though I don't know where we could go where this threat would not chase us to extinction in the end regardless. But it is our last hope.

The last thing I dream of is a blinding light as the incursion hits our world and Reed's family is ripped from his arms as the ship is torn asunder, and then there is nothing. I don't know if there are further dreams, or if this is it and we have all died.

I have lost my sister, my people, my world, perhaps my very life. And in the afterlife I am to be abandoned still because I chose not to sacrifice another world full of innocents just to save Wakanda. I don't know what sort of man, what sort of king this makes me.

Both my parents have died in my dreams. There's not even a grave for me to visit. I almost died too and now I'm mostly stuck in a hospital there. I haven't felt right since.

There shouldn't be anything worse that can happen. The danger's passed but I still feel scared of going back to sleep.

Private to Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham.

I've been seeing you both in my dreams. There are other people too. A Dr. Bloom and a Freddie. Everyone's telling me things and I'm so confused. I just wanted to go home, and we did. I saw my mom's blood and then I woke up.

Does any of that make sense? Is that what you saw in your dreams too?

While I do not enjoy the fact these strange monkeys are running around harming people, I must admit that at the least it gives me an opportunity to utilize all the skills and technology the dreams have given me. My teleporter gauntlets are particularly perplexing for them.

Has anyone else seen these things about the county?

That was a most unusual occurrence. The fog had nothing to do with me. I was unable to disperse it, though... I did not try very hard. It did not feel of this world, but perhaps that is because I am still growing used to my new powers.

Have you all stayed safe, particularly in one piece?

It is time that I offer my apologies to you all. As I understand it, snow is not uncommon in December here. You are no stranger to inclement weather. I do not know if it is often caused by one person, but in this instance I am to blame. I hope no one was harmed. I am...truly sorry. I will be stronger in the future, it will not happen again.

I must admit, going from sunny California's warm weather to the frigid temperatures of Michigan was quite the shock to the system. My poor parents were quite shocked I came unprepared clothing wise. At any rate, I had a wonderful time with family which was long overdue. I'll be reluctant to leave their company tomorrow, though I won't miss this weather.

I hope everyone else has had a good Thanksgiving full of food, family and fun. And if anyone is daring to venture out today for Black Friday, good luck and be safe. I've never understood the need to camp outside a store to get the lowest price on something when at this point in history, one can probably get a similar deal on the internet, but oh well. To each their own.

Well as quickly as that awesome mood swept in, it swept back out. It was lovely, though, while it lasted. Time to find how to recapture it. Had a lot of fun, though. I honestly think it just has to do with who's the loudest in my head at the moment.

I think I'll curl up with a mug of tea and try to get them back into order. I hate having my head hurt.

I can't even lie, this has been one of the best months in awhile. Catering went without a hitch, food was delightful as usual, company was epic, I'm so glad I was part of the big day for one of my best friends.

I'm even taking a couple days off from the cafe to just relax. I'm just a happy person right now and not even this place is going to take that away from me. Give me your best shot, OC, I will punch you in the face so hard you forget you're in California.

See? I've got this month.

I'm finding thanks to these dreams and some of the knowledge and gifts they have bestowed, that I've gone from a professor of cultures to a scientist, and it's becoming increasingly difficult to simply teach anthropology when I've got complex scientific and mathematical formulas rolling around in my head. Devices and theories that could not possibly be applied or created here in this world, and yet I feel the urge to write them down, experiment, create. It is frustrating to say the least.

Obliterating Dracula's army was easier than being a woman, for fuck's sakes. I don't know how you lot deal with all this bullshit without setting creepy, grabby people on fire daily. There is no such thing as an 'accidental' touch, alright. Leave my tits and arse alone.

I also hope the OC's latest attempt at humour fucks off before my girlfriend has to take me to see her parents as a woman. Slightly awkward.

It is well overdue I introduce myself here. Hello, I cannot say I am very new now, but the case somewhat applies. My name is Ororo Munroe. I have not decided the ideal things to post on here, but I have enjoyed glancing at some entries. I have not paid careful attention, however, which I intend to remedy in the future. As I understand it, many UC Irvine students fraternize on here. Is this the case?

Drought weather seems to have settled in firmly on us. Not sure what is happening here. I've been hand-watering my crops including the greenhouse planters. It seems to help some with the drying I'm getting, but my herbs are getting outright cooked. I can't seem to find a healthy medium with them. Thinking about pulling them to pots and bringing all of them in the house proper. Sure the place might start smelling a bit like Martha Stewart's holiday kitchen, but my boy can't complain too much.

Better than when I tried to clean with vinegar.

Read about that in a book. Said it was good for getting rid of odors in a natural way. Should have known better.

Anyone also a farmer on this network? I'm having no problems with some crops so long as I handfeed. It's the herbs I'm not doing so well on. My thyme is nearly done for while my rosemary is absolutely brittle. The basil is wilted to a state I think even repotting may kill it all. I'll take any suggestions anyone has to hand. This is my first full crop out here in California and I got kids. I can't afford to lose everything in my herbal shop when I was counting on that stock line for our daily living.

Happy Independence Day everyone. It's American holiday's like this that remind me how fortunate I am to be an American. I was not born here yet I was brought here as a child and welcomed with open arms. I was given an opportunity to live a better life here where in the Congo I'm sure I would not have lived to see my thirteenth birthday.

I am so grateful for this country. I hope everyone enjoys their freedoms and fireworks, I know I will.

The Frost Academy will be celebrating its first graduating class in just a few short weeks. Five exceptionally gifted young men and women, off to grab their own piece of the world, if they can. And of course they can, because we've given them every tool they need to not only succeed, but astonish.

Which means, of course, that we'll have five new slots for first years in another few months. Most of them are already taken, but I've got two open. If you are the parent of a gifted child and you're finding educating them to be an exercise in frustration, by all means, schedule an appointment. It's a bit late in the year to have applied to a school like mine, but as I've got the slots open, I may as well fill them at the last minute.

These past few weeks have been an adventure, not necessarily in a good way at all. My usual routine for weathering these sorts of things involves long hours at work, though I took the time to donate blood and help out where I could, of course.

My newest gallery show, 'Diamonds on Black Velvet' is nearly set to open. I have only a few pieces left to finish, but I'm waiting on a new shipment of diamonds before I can continue. I only use the small, industrial type that my company wouldn't be able to use in its jewelry pieces, of course. They aren't valued very highly, but they do still sparkle enough for my purposes.

I think after all this work I'm due for a break. Perhaps that local Senator can finally make good on his offer to take me out for the evening. Seeing as it's likely he's back to his old self.

Woke up this morning and went to the kitchen for some coffee...

Most of the silverware and cooking utensils were either on the floor or on the counters, drawers all askew, and at least three of our cooking knives were embedded in the wall across from the knife block.

Guess the Telekinesis is getting stronger. yaaaaay.

At least my subconscious knows better than to fuck with the coffee maker and mugs.

OH THANK GOD I'M ME AGAIN.

I dreamt that I used her telepathy. That somehow we were in a corner, and I just ... I don't know. Tapped in. And felt my consciousness shift - that's the only way I can describe it. I don't know if I could do it again, but it has left me feeling weird, this time in a good way. I feel like I've achieved some kind of higher consciousness. It makes me happy.

Scott: Will you tell me when you have some time, so I can swing by? I do have to ask you about something. And it'll be nice to see you when I'm me again.

Another day, another dream. I woke up and actively went looking for Sentinels outside my house last night, it felt that real. Then I remembered it was a dream, and it would have made me angry if I hadn't realized that it was pushing the story forward. That's good - the only way I can get myself back to ... well, myself ... is to see what happens next.

Though I will say for the record, if this woman ever shows up here for real, that I am going to smack her for getting a boob job that throws my balance this far off. Walking around my house, I look like I'm drunk.

I'm pleased to announce that Lu Qing will be putting out its new line this summer. It's a great time of year to enjoy the night, do a little stargazing and breathe in the summer air. Why not add a little sparkle?

Our Cosmos line will include pieces that evoke images of the stars above us, the night sky, and some of our artists' favorite constellations. I'm very excited about it myself, because I got to craft quite a few of the pieces on my own. I hope you'll enjoy them as much as I enjoyed them - and the range includes quite a few affordable selections.

Hello, all. My name is Ororo Munroe. I'm originally from Portland, but moved here about ten years ago to work for Operation Go Home, which helps homeless youth, with a special focus on LGBTQ kids. I love my job, and genuinely find it rewarding.

In my off time, which isn't much, I'm a food blogger; you can find it online at [web url]. I'm divorced and live in Mission Viejo with my cat. I hope to meet you all eventually.
