[after this]

I need your help.

So I find myself in a new room now. One place one moment then new place the next. Not that I have complaints. New room seems much better than old place. I am tired of being kept in a cage and controlled.

I went outside for a walk and the smell is interesting. Like coffee grounds. The trash cans are overflowing with food which seems like waste. People sometimes clean up after their dogs and sometimes do not. Now I will figure out what to do here. Maybe try a coffee that has iced cubes in it, but I will not let them take me back.

New York, NY - The Global Repatriation Council is setting a date for the final vote on the controversial Patch Act. The act will restore and enforce former national borders, relocating the last refugees of "The Blip" back to their countries of origin.

Thousands of refugees worldwide remain unemployed or homeless. Temporary communities still exist throughout Asia, Europe, and North America, relying on fluctuating donations and costly welfare programs. Job displacement remains common. Some returned to find homes auctioned by banks to new owners or damaged beyond repair, with insurance companies citing force majeure to deny payouts.

The GRC provides permanent funding for housing and job training, following their motto to Reset, Restore, Rebuild. A motto that many refugees say will force them back into authoritarian regimes or warzones. It will also force some current tenants out after years of unresolved legal issues with the former owners.

Trying to counter these accusations, the GRC declared this is a worldwide effort to achieve a conclusive resolution for all those affected. Representatives from the United States, United Kingdom, India, Japan, China, Philippines, France, Italy, South Korea, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Russia, Canada, Brazil, Indonesia, Australia, Argentina, and Jamaica will be in attendance. The vote is expected to take place at the GRC's building at One Liberty Plaza in Lower Manhattan.

[ooc: pretend this was posted on his actual birthday]

Happy Birthday, Old Man.

Congrats on making it another trip around sun.

So I have returned and it appears as if this universe is not finished with me yet. Much has changed since my last foray - some good (traveling to and from Wakanda is infinitely more convenient; I appreciate the ease of the gateway even if Shuri continues to vet my clothing choices before I make the trip) and some not so good.

I have heard tale that the rat responsible for my father's death is among you now. I will have his head on a pike by lunchtime. Do not attempt to stop me.

Marcel Proust once quoted "the real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." There is much to see and learn with these 'new eyes,' so to speak.

My journey has led me here, it seems. To this world, and I continue to have questions. I remember so much but have actually experienced very little. It is a profound disconnect and I hope to do away with this dissonance in short order.

I know this dates me, but does anyone remember that part in the first Austin Powers movie with the chair that dropped Will Farrell down into that room of fire? If not, here's a visual ref.



Ok. Now we're on the same page. Because I really want to find a way to remodel Zemo's space to do this right now.

WHAT THE HELL, UNIVERSE.

I do not know how I suddenly arrived here from the prison in Berlin.

The virtual assistant has been very helpful. Although she tells me that access is "restricted" and I must remain in this "designated space."


Avengers. It has been a while.

Berlin, Germany - Helmut Zemo has escaped from a Berlin prison this morning. Zemo is behind the bombing of the Vienna International Centre that took twelve lives, including King T'Chaka of Wakanda.

Perimeter guards and security cameras did not show how he circumvented security measures. Subject is considered armed and dangerous. If sighted, call 911 immediately.

I have an important announcement to make.

Steve has decided to retire from the superhero life. He's giving up the Captain America mantle and is no longer living in the tower.

Zürich, Switzerland - Interpol is asking for leads on a bank robbery in one of the world's most renown financial districts.

No group has claimed responsibility, although a suspicious symbol was found painted on the building. Anyone who has information is urged to report it to Interpol at 1-555-555-0100.

Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.

It's that time of year. May the 4th be with you.



Star Wars marathon party. Commons movie room. Floor 39.

You know you want to be there. Don't deny it.

Well, I waited a few days in the hopes that I wouldn't actually have to make this post, but it looks like Carol got poofed out of this universe.

Happy Easter!

Don't forget, tomorrow is half price candy day.

Uhh Hey, I'm Bucky. I guess I'm back here again. Somehow.

[private to Steve and Sam]

What the hell. I'm in Tony's building now? Some other me wasn't staying here before, or was he?

So... who wants to go and drink too much green beer and Irish whiskey tonight?

I need to forget that the tabloids now think I'm dating my father.

Congressional attempts to amend the Sokovia Accords after being ruled unconstitutional have stalled due to partisan divide. The Accords are valid in 116 other nations outside the United States.

There are no leads following the theft of a priceless Fabergé egg and other artwork stolen from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The NYPD is looking at the crime as an inside job. Security systems and cameras were disconnected.

Is Tony Stark off the dating scene market after last year's separation from Pepper Potts? New photos show him leaving a restaurant with a much younger brunette. Requests to Stark Industries for a statement have not been returned.

I'm not even gonna bother questioning how I was in L.A. one minute and NYC the next. To be honest, I've seen weirder things.

Anyway, I'm Nico. Hey.

[Loki]

I have questions.

[ooc: will contain wandavision spoilers]

There's been another instability in our part of the Multiverse. The spell net I casted indicates that there may new arrivals, as well as departures. If you notice someone is missing, they might return again one day.

For those that need medical treatment, Christine Palmer is one of those that has disappeared.

Update: I've received confirmation that Thor and Jane are also missing.

Laissez les bon temps rouler!

[filtered to Ned]

Hey, so you know the whole concept of Galentine's Day? On February 13? What if we celebrated that but made it bros? And went out for burritos or something?

[filtered to MJ]

How do you feel about ice skating on Valentine's Day? And hot chocolate after? Too cliche? Not cliche enough?

I've tried everything I can think of, but I haven't been able to find a way to sleep longer than a few hours at a time. My dreams are so I am welcoming any suggestions.



[ooc: contains spoilers for Wandavision]

We're less than two weeks out from Valentine's Day. If you want to send a gift to that special someone, or to me, or anyone really, Friday is available to help you out if you tell her by the 13th.


[Filter to Tony]
I've been having weird dreams.


[Filter to Jane]
Weird question. Do you think I could get my PhD?

(1) Friday told me that Drax hasn't returned after telling her he was going to get something to eat.

(2) Pinged his phone. He's in a nearby park but not answering: [coordinates link]

(3) Quill, want to go make sure he's all right while med clinic is on standby?

Hey guys!

So here's the reality -- I am your only medical doctor right now. Stephen counts technically but we all know he has horrible bedside manner, and I'm much more approachable. I am worried that in the event of a whatever (which could be anything because reasons), we don't have any field medics. For that reason, I'm offering a first aid course next week where we can go over some basic first aid, field dressings, and maybe amputations for those keeners ;)

Jokes aside, let me know if you're interested or if you have any prior medical experience. I could also use an assistant, nursing or admin, and I'm okay if you have no experience or are still a teenager. In fact, I prefer a teenager because they don't know labour laws yet. Haaaaaa, kidding again. Seriously guys, help me out here so I don't joke myself to death.

<3

The day after Remy's arrival, dinner arrives for every current resident in the Tower. Each container contains dirty rice and a side of perfectly fried okra. Anyone with religious or dietary restrictions is given a compliant version, courtesy of Friday relaying that information. Bon appétit!

Hello there, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Remy LeBeau, born and bred in New Orleans. Currently living the life of luxury in this fine establishment.

Been in Genosha for a while and I can only try to charm Friday so much before I require the pleasure of physical company. Anyone want to show me the sights?

... I wasn't expecting this. Or to be here.

FRIDAY says I am in the tower, yet....I don't know how I came to be here. Clint? Sam, Bruce?

Left outside Fury's door around 5pm today is a plate of homemade classic beignets.

I'm disappointed in all of you for varying reasons.

Especially Tony.

Come on people -- do we really need to go through this every year?

(1) I'm back, bitch!!!! Miss me?

(2) That's a stupid question. Of course you did. Give me money. I have a job still, right?

Explosion Rocks Afghanistan - November 11, 2024

An explosion of unknown origin rocked a deserted village in Afghanistan's northern region late Tuesday night. Reports from southern regions note a bright white light illuminating the sky, followed by a distant explosion.

Satellite images show that the village, one of many suspected safe havens of the Ten Rings terrorist organization, has been leveled. Traces of any weapons involved have not been located. It is suspected that the Ten Rings may have detonated the blast on purpose. There is no trace of nuclear radiation nearby or detected on air currents in surrounding countries.

Reporters have reached out to the Pentagon for comment, asking if this was part of a joint counter-insurgency mission with another nation. Officials have declined to comment, saying that this is under further investigation.

I am done.

Dooooone.

All these leaves, all these catastrophes, all this time off work means I had to make it alllll up. I haven't seen my bed in weeks. My pjs miss me. The couch in the tower med clinc is now perfectly aligned to my butt (sorry, Bruce -- it's mine now).

I need a break.

Anyone up for shenanigans that are super lame because I probably work the next day?

> Still sussing things out at headquarters.
> Returning tomorrow evening.
> How are things at the Professor's?

Yeah well. That happened.

Fine, maybe I shouldn't have nanobot'd a suit of armor into my bone marrow. But like I told her, there's no takebacksies now that it's in there.

Manhattan, New York - 11/7/2020

CEO of Stark Industries, Pepper Potts, has filed for a divorce from Tony Stark after nearly six years of marriage.

Ms. Potts has filed for primary custody of the couple's daughter, Morgan, and will continue as acting CEO in a remote capacity. Along with being an active member of the Avengers, Mr. Stark continues as head of Stark Industries' Research & Development department and as a member of the board of directors. The divorce is reportedly "amicable" according to legal representatives.

S.I. stocks dipped 12 points on the NYSE after the initial announcement, but have rebounding following news there would be no change of corporate leadership. No reason was given for the split and details of prenuptial agreements are currently unknown. The couple's legal representatives have asked for privacy during this transition.

[Message to Valkyrie]

Peter and I were thinking of taking the Benatar for a spin. We'd be happy to help with scouting out some offsite locations, if you'd like a space uber? We'll pick you up if you're in Norway.

I didn't believe it when I first heard about it but apparently it is true. This is without a doubt the grossest thing I've ever seen.

Who's dressing up for Halloween? Anyone?

[Peter Parker]
We should do one of those cheesy couples costumes.

Guys. We only have thirty days to figure out what we're doing for Halloween.

I vote we turn part of the Tower into a haunted house.

[Team Science + Sam Wilson]

Hi, so...Sam said I should talk to you about this. I have this power and I don't really know anything about where it really comes from or what it is. But I know I'm not like the people who are from Genosha at least I don't think?, and it's not alien, I'm pretty sure. It's a kind of energy, or lightforce, and I can use it to make daggers. He thought y'all might be able to figure it out.
