Ab Aeterno RPG

Who: Ariel/Faith
When: April 4th
Where: Ariel's home
What: Ariel rants in her own way.

( Can you believe he doesn't want me? )

How's everyone doing? Anyone else feeling like going insane maintaining the status quo?

I don't think I'll ever get used to people giving me completely unsolicited marriage advice, or asking when I'm going to have children. I just wanted to get a few things at the market for dinner... I didn't want some 'kindly' older lady telling me that I'm not getting any younger, and that I have good 'childbearing' hips.

Then, later, I went to the diner because I wanted a chocolate milkshake and cheese fries, and the waitress and cook started having a conversation about how that sounds like pregnancy cravings. I tried explaining I was just snack-hungry, not expecting, and suddenly I was being practically assaulted with all the old wives tales and folk remedies one would need to conceive, and how to pick the gender.

The only saving grace was that milkshake was perfect.

I haven't gotten used to this lingo yet.

Anyone seen anything weird yet besides the usual?

Who: Open
When: All day on March 28th (Add the time in the subject line)
Where: General store
What: Steve and Bucky open the store, hoping to set things right

( Welcome )

Well, that turned out better than I thought. A car broke down down the street, and without thinking I went to see if the driver was alright. Turns out it was a problem with his transmission, which is common in the Pontiac Chieftain.

He was so impressed that I diagnosed what was wrong with his car, that he asked if I wanted a job at his auto shop. I said I had to ask my husband. So... yeah.

Informal communication differs significantly in this setting. It would be wise to update your vocabulary to a habitual level.

Being called a fuzzy duck with a classy chassis was an unexpected development. I learned I should have no gringles in response.

I do not have gringles.

You dig?

Mia's and Abigail's messages brought up a few problems, mostly the fact that we're terrible at accepting discrimination, but I suppose we'll need to shut up and accept it (feel free to remind me).

To keep a semblance of cover and to speed up the return to a normal timeline, Mia is helping us purchase the general store. Bucky and I will pose as brothers and live upstairs. If anyone wants to be married to one of us, it'd help with the cover.

As you've seen, women are unlikely to work and since we are maintaining 'family value', it's probably best that the women don't work, unless involved in a 'family business'. Feel free to exchange texts to figure out jobs we can have and arranged marriages.

How's everyone feeling about the bus landing? 

I have mixed feelings. What happened with the way the last stop ended was horrible and I don't want us going through that again. 

At the same time, I need more space.  I hate feeling so confined.  Too many bad memories.

Good Afternoon.

We have some bad news. The bus will need to land in an area where we can make the necessary modifications. Also we have spotted another temporal anomaly, so we can drop you off before being on our way. This means that bus will be working when you return.

We've been a little slower than normal to pick up the anomaly and that has given the time to learn a little more. There's a general store in Pleasantville that has been shut down and then turned into some kind of night club. Your job will be to buy the general store and maintain the type of lifestyle that exist in Pleasantville.

If you have questions, feel free to text me, this way everyone can see it. I will tell you what we know at the moment.

( The Louvre )

I don't know if this is a custom in your realities, but in my world, we have a funeral for people who die. We have lost two people who were dear to us in addition with countless of other lives we didn't even know and everyone seems to very sad.

I was thinking tomorrow or Friday evening. We don't have to do anything big, maybe just a few words and lots of drinks? The bar seems like the perfect place.

( I don't like this )

Usually, when I fall asleep in a movie theater, I end up having weird movie-inspired dreams. You know what pretty much never happens? Waking up to find myself floating in mid-air surrounded by a cloud of popcorn.

I guess what I'm saying is that I'm stuck in the movie theater because the gravity appears to have stopped working.

Who: Steve/Bucky
When: Morning, March 7th
Where: the gym
What: Steve is taking his frustrations out on the punching bag
