Mission Atlantis

This ship is so science fiction, but like deus ex machina where everything we need is right here. Is there an Infinite Improbability Drive button? Am I going to turn into a bowl of petunias?

Are we allowed to decorate our bedrooms?

Mac? Michael? Terry told me the two of you were here. I'm living with him, Leanne, and Astoria.

Hard to believe this is the second time I've done this in a universe that isn't my own, but here it goes:


May 2nd in my home world is a time when magic users in the UK and Ireland gather to remember the victims of our two wizarding wars. Most people call it Victory Day -- which I have mixed feelings about for a lot of reasons -- but I tend to call it Remembrance Day.

In my almost three years of bouncing around the multiverse, I've learned that everyone has experienced loss. Everyone has someone they miss, be it because you are separated by the universe or by death. With that in mind, I'm offering a gathering on the evening of May 2 in Partum Park. Anyone who wants to attend and pay tribute to people they love -- living or dead -- is welcome to come. I'll have candles for anyone who wants to do it that way, but your own rituals for honoring your people are welcome and encouraged. Even if it's just to stand there silently. We'll get started right at sunset.

I've got no plans to turn it into a party or anything, but I see nothing wrong with a fire and people bringing their own food and drinks for afterward. I personally won't be staying, but please enjoy yourselves.

I cannot stop laughing at the most inopportune times. This makes work difficult.

✉️ Hey, Peter!
✉️ So [...] I was wondering!
✉️ Would you be interested in ordering pizza and watching a movie with me?
✉️ Friday?

Text Message to Ravenclaw Group

✉️ AH!
✉️ I asked Peter if he wanted to watch a movie with me, and he said yes!

Without getting into details -- this week and next week are difficult for me, and I'm in need of a distraction.

I know Easter is like one of those holidays that you only care about it your religious -- I'm not, for the record -- but in the UK it's also just a massive thing where you are meant to spend time with your family. Sadly, my only family that's still here, aside from Harry, are those that I've chosen to become so, which I think is the case for a lot of us.

So here's my proposition: everyone who wants to participate, let's get together in the park on Sunday and have a huge dinner. I'll even bribe Harry into helping me make a magical Easter egg hunt for afterward. Though no idea what that actually entails yet. I just made it up. But it sounds fun, right?

I didn't expect to find myself in space again anytime soon.

But this is space in a different universe so it's like, extra cool.

Hello Poseidon! I'm Kamala Khan.

It was an interesting and strange experience to be adopted. My culture is a big part of my identity and a way to form a bond with my parents, grandparents, and extended family, it was very surreal not having that connection.

Now I just want to go make tomato egg, with rice of course.

Checking in, how are the three of you?

I'm an only child, so it was nice having siblings.

Would anyone like a reading? I have a bit of time on my hands, and I don't really like being idle for long. I've also seen quite a few spirits who want to contact - I can communicate with spirits and read tarot. Free of charge, of course — you're doing me a favour, really, giving me something practical to work on.

With everyone having different flights to catch and family to catch up with I did not have an opportunity to congratulate you all on your wins. So, congratulations and know that I am so proud to be a part of Team USA alongside all of you.

I've made a reservation for tomorrow night at Extra Virgin. I'd like it if you could all make it but I do understand spending so much time with your mother is not ideal. Rosie Posie, this does not apply to you because your presence is mandatory.

Text to Elise

[OOC: Elise will receive a short video from Val who has just discovered that she is on board]

So now that we know what Elysium has to offer, who's up for going on a wine tasting tour.......or two with me? Should be fun.

I think I'm going to hit the pool for a little while. Who wants to join me?

With everything that has been happening of late, I failed to mention that I received a gift from home awhile back. The text that arrived with me barely scratches the surfaces about the magic of my world. And most of what I've contributed has been from memory. The trunk I received, while not the full extent of the literature I possessed back home, does contain many of the rarer texts that I had acquired. We might find something to aid us in one of them. And if not that's all right. I know we'll find the answer somewhere.

I've removed the protective charms from all of them so, no harm will come to anyone not of my bloodline, who touches them. With the exception of the two that are in elvish, all are in Latin. I'll translate the elvish texts as best I can but I'll admit I am a bit rusty and it might take me a bit longer to do so than I would have in the past.

Perhaps we should all meet tonight or tomorrow over dinner and we can begin looking at these together.

In the interest of not going mad productivity — given the fact that, apparently, anything even remotely work-related banishes us to our lodgings — I've drawn up a guide that should assist in differentiating between myself and Prince Loki. Inexplicably, it's been an issue. (  It shouldn't be.  )

His Highness (pictured above left, as though that's even necessary) is at least an inch taller than I am. You can clearly see my hair (pictured above right) is lighter. Our eyes are also vastly different colours — his is jade, mine is seafoam. Both green, both defined shades. Even the Prince's voice is lower than mine. He speaks far more slowly. Have you even heard me speak? I barely take a breath.

So: there you are. Now there's no reason to continue this charade.

📴 - Everyone has two days off. If you try to work you'll be zapped right back to your room.

New name, new house, new husband.

My head is spinning from all the changes, but I couldn't be happier. Thanks to everyone who came and stood in the cold to watch Harry and I get married. We haven't even started opening all the gifts from you lot, but I promise we will! It was enough that you all were there with us.

And then this morning I woke up to find one of mum's hand-knitted jumpers at the end of the bed, which was just the cherry on top of a couple of exceptional days.

Happy Christmas, everyone.

Why do I have this horrible feeling I'm very late?
