I am so glad that its all over and I can actually go out and experience life outside of my apartment. Thank you Chris for everything, you are the best brother ever. Thank you as well Sookie for being there, you are an amazing friend. Now I want to go out and have some fun, who is with me, first round of drinks on me?

I didn't say anything because I really couldn't prove anything yet. Until I went back to our conversation earlier about fear. Was this all you? Did you release that fear toxin?

Okay so I am hoping that these crystals work. I don't want a repeat of what just happened to me, I could have been killed and almost did. The Source of all evil, has been following me. I can just tell that he's spying on me, it feels like he's close again. I'm not stepping out of the apartment. Ever since I heard stories about him from my mother, I have been terrified of encountering him, he was supposed to be vanquished, what is going on?

Okay, so, as I'm pretty sure most of you have seen by now, there's a beginning of a plan being formed and it looks like we're going to need to step in and help out a bit. So I figured that it would probably be best if, unlike the science types, we were all on the same page to start with. So here we go.

1. We can't make it rain. If we do, like Cordelia said, it might get into the water supply and that would be of the bad. So that's out.

2. We can amp up the wind and try to get the toxin out that way, but if we're going to go with that, we need to figure out the best direction to send it in and make sure we're not going to be spreading it even further at the same time.

3. I'm also thinking it might be a good idea for some of us, again like Cordelia said and wow, quoting her twice in one post is kinda scary and pretty sure a sign of the Apocalypse or something, to help magically reinforce the safe places folks are going to be heading to for shelter. Sure, the gas is probably going to be filtered out by ventilation systems but, well, there are all kinds of crazy folk on the street right now and we don't want them suddenly busting down doors and stuff.

And that's about all I've got, so far. I can help with any of those things, though I'm thinking that the whole wind idea - if that's what we go with - is probably where I'll be most useful. Tara is with me, and so is Loki. So not a negotiation when it comes to those two.

Anyone else who wants to help out with that, feel free to speak up. The more, the merrier. Otherwise, help with securing places in a magical fashion or, if you have other ideas, offer them up. We just need to figure something out ASAP so we can do what we need to do because I don't know about you, but I am one antsy Willow right now and that never bodes well for anyone.

I love watching the Summer Olympics. I have to say that my favorite thing to watch is either Gymnastics or Swimming. After watching the prelims for swimming earlier...it is clear, I have two crushes. Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte! May the best man win!

I have popcorn and other fun snacks if you want to come into the living room and watch the games with me!

[Confused tone]

This...is not P3. This is a library...with books, and not a bunch of club goers. Which would seem rather obvious, as it's a library.

Okay, so not drunk, not concussed...and yet I managed to orb myself into a library.

[Happy twinkling sound]

...I'm still in a library. Shit. Piper? Phoebe? Paige?

[Small voice]

Leo? Wyatt?

[Worried tone]

Mom?!

Why don't the people here like me anymore?

Okay, so this place just got better. I found my husband finally and he wasn't even sixteen years old anymore, which was great because now I don't have to skip any details to him. It sort of feels like a mini vacation, don't have to work since this time I was still going to school and working. Feels nice to just relax and do nothing but spend time with the man I love.

Private to Chris
Have you changed at all? Come back from the future or the past or anything?

Private to Dad
How about you? Changed at all? Remembering things from other times?

Private to PJ and Kat
I can't believe that I'm here and I'm 32 years old. I was just 19 years old the last time I was here. Have you guys changed much?

Because suddenly being in the past in no way affects my plans this weekend. Nope. Not at all.

This has turned out to be an amazing day!! The sun was making the snow all sparkly, I got done with all of my homework, had a good day at work. And what do I see in my place? A freaking karaoke machine. Now I can really some great parties here.

Private to Kat and PJ
We can so have some awesome girls nights by putting on our pajamas and rocking out to my karaoke machine. Makes me think of that scene from 13 Going on 30 with their sleepover.

Private to Chris
How are you holding up? Why don't you come over to my place sometime, I'll cook and we can watch movies or something. Or we could always go out and have some fun.

Private to Dad
You up to come over and watch the baseball game on Saturday?

I got a picture of my Mommy and Daddy and Morgan and Uncle Merrill! And I still got some of my gingerbread house left AND there's still snow!!!

Chris can we pleeeaaaasssseee go play in it? I want to make another snowman before the snow goes away.

Wonderful. Mal's name is gone from her flat as well, so I checked and her stuff's gone.

Can someone let Arthur and Ariadne know, if they don't already?

Also, I'm getting out of here for a few days. I'd like to be on my own through my own choice rather than this place deciding for me. Doctor, could I get that lift to the Mildly Perilous Lava Cave or the Teeny Bit Dodgy Mountain, if it's not too much trouble?

Oh, it's best if someone lets Arthur and Ariadne know that as well. Cheers.

I just wanted to let everyone know, now that the weather is a lot warmer, that there are stables. I have been asked a couple of times about them and lessons as well as taking a horse for a ride are both available. I would be most happy to meet with anyone interested.

Right. What's all this, then?

[ There is the sound of a puppy barking then a bit of scurrying around, followed by a small, girly gasp. ]

No, Colleen! Bad dog! Those are Chris' new shoes and you can't just-

[ A slight grunt and the sound of a small body falling to the floor, followed by another yap from a puppy. ]

LEGGO! [ There's another grunt then the yapping turns into a pitiful whine. Bo sighs softly. ]

I'm sorry but Chris said no and I really thinks he means it 'cause he gots that crinkle in his forehead that makes him kinda look like he tasted something real sour and I keep trying to TELL him that his face is gonna stick that way just like my momma used t'say to me but HE says... [ Her rambling is cut off by a playful bark followed by a giggle. ]

Okay! Okay! Stop licking, it tickles! You wanna go on the porch? I got something I'm working on and you can- NO. DON'T EAT THE MACARONI! I NEED THAT! [ There's the sound of paper smacking against something then a yelp from the puppy, followed by another pitiful whine. Bo's tone is Very Stern. ]

I said no. That's for Peter and Chris and I can't tell them their present got eated by the dog. Here. You can have the one I messed up. [ There's a sound of tearing paper then loud crunching, followed by Bo's soft giggle. ]

Silly puppy. Now come on, Colleen! We still gotta finish and I need to paint it and I think I should prob'ly figure out how to get that glue up 'fore it dries...

I have to say that I've never battled anything like that since, well, forever. I'm just glad that she's dead now, we killed the minions and now we can all move on and have some fun without having to worry about her. I have to say that at first I was a little scared, but I knew that I had to push all of that away and stay strong.

Private to Peter Petrelli and Chris
I just wanted to let you know that I'm fine. I'm a little banged up, but that is expected when you are battling Glory's minions. But she's dead now, I didn't go after her I swear.

Man, I'm bored. But hey at least I have work to look forward to. I'm actually really enjoy working in the pie shop, Claire is an amazing boss, but it saddens me about Willow working in the magic shop was really fun, may she R.I.P. But this place is really not looking all that bad, except that I went to find my mother and she wasn't there. Anybody know where she went to?

Private to Leo (dad):
Hey there, I was wondering. There's a baseball game on tomorrow night and was wondering if you wanted to watch it. A little father/daughter time we always squeeze in for a good baseball game?

( Caroline sounds panicked and shaken )

Oh god...oh god...oh god!

( Her voice is soft and gentle, but still urgent )

Hey...Hey, stay with me, okay, Isabel? I need you to look at me. Come on...open your eyes.

( There's a pause and a odd slightly wet sound )

Isabel, I need you to drink this. It will help. Just drink it. Okay?

I'VE GOT A PUPPY AND IT IS THE CUTEST PUPPY IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!!!

( Click to see a picture! )

I need to name her but she won't tell me what it is yet and Morgan said that his dogs always told him what their names were so I know she'll tell me soon but even if she doesn't I think I might name her Colleen after my mommy cause she's pretty and sweet and has really pretty eyes and smells really nice just like my mommy used to.

[ There is the sound of someone breathing heavily, close to the PDA, and the distant sound of someone else muttering unintelligibly in the background. When Claire speaks, her voice is hoarse and she's clearly upset. ]

H-Help! Someone! Courtyard. NOW!

[ There is a brief pause and you can hear Claire's voice, this time muffled, speaking to someone else. ]

It'll be okay. Just stay calm, okay? I know there's blood but it's not yours. See? I'm fine too. I p-promise.

[ Her voice is more pronounced again, clearly she's speaking, well more like shrieking, into the PDA once more. ]

GLORY WAS HERE AND I NEED SOME HELP. SOMEONE! ANYONE!

[ A little more shuffling, Claire is speaking in hushed tones to someone else again. ]

Lily, it's okay! I'm right here. Someone is coming, okay? Just... just... [ There's a soft sob of fear and frustration before the line goes silent. ]

[ooc: takes place an hour or so after this]

Screw this. You people don't want to say it? Fine. I will.

We don't have a plan and she keeps killing us. She's not going to stop. So why aren't we giving her what she wants already? That Key isn't any more or less special than my friends or anyone else's.

Mister Morpheus do you think you could make it so I don't have dreams just for tonight? Please? The mean lady with the curly hair scares me.

This doesn't look like New Jersey.

Were those real knights? Like the knights of the round table?

Mommy? Are you here somewhere? I think we got lost.

You know, sometimes I wonder just how many people in this city even know who I am. Not counting the dozen or so that I've managed to befriend, I mean, I bet I could probably count on one hand the number of people here who know my name, anything even remotely personal about me, and take the time to think about how it might be for me to look for their friends and loved ones whenever they go missing.

Sometimes, I want to wait until there is some major city-wide tragedy then tell everyone who asks to just look for people themselves and leave me alone. I won't, because it would be horrible of me to do, but I really want to.

And feel free to ignore this. I guess I'm just feeling a little sorry for myself or something. Stupid insomnia.

[ooc: totally unfiltered]

Peter, Chris, it's my birthday soon so can I have a pony?

There's nothing to do around here.

Wow. Haven't had that dream in a while. I guess it's true. Time displacement definitely affects prophetic dreaming.

Right. So, if this place could go a couple of months without making me forget, or switching me with versions who don't know, half or all of my family. I'd appreciate it.

And do I even want to know what the hell happened to the carpet?

Oh no. Not this again. Wasn't me becoming human the once more than enough for this place? Why couldn't I have become a bloke, instead? Now I'm just tired and hungry and am certainly not pleased with this in the slightest!

I am so bored.

I'd forgotten how little there was for kids my age to do in this city, at this point in time.

Wyatt where the hell did you send me and why can't I leave? Can anyone explain to me what's the deal with this place?

And Wy if you're reading this, there isn't anything you can do that'll keep me from tell Mom. And Grams. Not even getting Melly to give me the puppy dog eyes.

Not cool. I had plans this weekend.

I can still go to the movies tomorrow night though, right?

It could be worse.

Piper, I borrowed some of your clothes.

So, I can't believe some of you guys have been here like...two years and nobody's ever thought to do this. Or if you did, I totally didn't find it on the network. And I read like...all of it. I was bored. Anyway, it's got to get annoying explaining over and over again, so I figured this would be so much simpler. Seriously, people. I've been here less than a week and I thought this up. You're slacking hardcore here.

Right, so, I'm Caroline Forbes. And this is a welcome/explanation to anyone else who gets brought here, to save us all time and effort.

( Cut for the sake of the F-Page )

I think that's about it. I'll add more later if I think of more or things change. I really, seriously can't believe that none of you thought of this before.

Tell me everything that I need to know about vampires from your world.

The ring wins for now. I don't think I've ever met anyone or anything this stubborn.

[Halliwell Family]

Everyone all right?

Okay. The gaudy wedding band that is quite easily the most hideous thing I've ever seen - and I have seen some pretty heinous stuff in my time - is a definite no. And the not being able to leave without feeling like my stomach is being pulled out through my nostrils is total crap.

But as far as a random, Vegas!style wedding with a man I don't know in person and have only ever chatted with over the network goes? I have hit the frigging jackpot, people!

This is just what I dreamed.
