Dear Asaph (or whoever else left the Christmas tree for me and can answer this),

Thank you very much for the Christmas tree. It's very nice and very, very pretty. But considering Christmas really isn't supposed to be about a big guy in a red suit with pet reindeer breaking into my house to leave me things, I just wanted to make sure it was okay with you if I donated the tree to the local homeless shelter. I think they would like it even more than me.

If I can't do that, may I at least get money for some of the ornaments that aren't even ornaments at all, but are just pieces of expensive jewellery hanging on branches and donate it to them?

I won't, if it'll make you mad or hurt your feelings, and I really won't if it'll make you want to have bad things happen to the people here. But if it's okay, I think I'd really like to do that instead of just keeping it. They need it more than I do.

Thank you and I hope to get an answer soon!

Sincerely,
Mary

Distant planet, jumbled timelines, inexplicable experiments, and complete separation from customary resources. How terribly inconvenient. I gather from the tacky decorations and frivolity that it's Christmas time. Not particularly happy or merry. I do wonder if that introductory overview is current on the point of Nikola Tesla's presence here. Could anyone confirm that, preferably the man himself if he's here?

I'm Helena. If you're inclined to informality, I'll answer to H.G., and if you'd rather be formal or well-mannered, Ms Wells.

I knew this place was real! I don't know how I ever forgot it.

Doctor, are you still here? Please say yes.

[ Currently: Castiel is trying to speak to one of the residents of Colligo with little success and you all seem to be coming in on an already begun one-sided conversation. ]

--that the bus system can move to different planets. Where are Dean and Sam Winchester? [ Awkward pause. ] Why do you not answer me? It is a simple question. Where am I? And where are the Winchesters? [ It doesn't get much straight forward than that in his head, right? ] Speak. [ He can do this for hours sadly. ]

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Bruce Banner and I'm going to preface this by apologizing. I'm a physicist and not exactly known for my public speaking, but I thought that someone should do this and, well, my lack of ability to be as eloquent as others doesn't automatically exclude me from that list.

So I've taken a moment to compile a list of everything we know about this place, thus far. If anyone has anything to add, feel free to do so and I'll edit accordingly. Maybe, if we all get on the same page, we can figure this out sooner rather than later. That's my theory, at any rate.

( The list )

As I said, if I've forgotten anything, speak up. I've been collecting as much data as possible but I'm sure I may have missed a few things. And if anyone else wants to take the reigns on this, please do.

( Avengers )

Figured I'd fill this out before I leave for another trip.

( My answers. )

( Well, why not... )

I really like these things.

( These questions were more fun than the last ones. )

Um, Doctor?

I don't want you to be too alarmed but I was visiting another place where there were lots of bunnies. I mean lots of bunnies. Lots and lots of bunnies. And Mickey was with me and one of the bunnies decided that it really liked him a whole, whole lot and he really liked the bunny. And when it was time to come back he just sorta... grabbed onto the bunny and now the bunny is here too.

Only, it's not just one bunny anymore because I guess they're special bunnies that can multiply all by themselves. So now there's about a hundred or so bunnies stuffed into one of the really big closets on the TARDIS and I'm pretty sure more are showing up because everytime one multiplies there's this loud popping sound and it sorta sounds like there's popcorn being made in the closet if you listen real hard at the door.

So if you aren't too busy could you maybe help?

I can send the gremlins to places that are like this one but not! That's so cool! I've never been able to do that before.

A Gremlin got in the TARDIS, but I managed to get him before he did any damage.

Then I reverse engineered a Mogwai.

He's really a very chipper fellow. I think I'll call him Mickey.

( Fail!filtered to Mary Lampion )
Mary, dear, maybe you should go to a different Colligo for a bit. Just until it's safer. I'm certain it can't be dangerous everywhere.

Apparently...

no, that's the wrong word, because I just watched it on the television, so it's real, and Max saw it as well, so I didn't imagine it.

There is a film about Pete and Su and Lu and I. And Caspian. In Narnia. It's the queerest thing. And Trumpkin was in it and Reepicheep and Glenstorm and Jadis and even that squeaky little squirrel.

Pattertwig! That was his name.

That was fun!

( All kinds of stuff that was fun to answer. )

If anybody's wanting to complain about all the stuff going on, trust me and don't. What's going on here is lots better than some of the stuff that's happening in other places like this one. I don't think I've ever come across so many doors I didn't want to go through before. Not ever.

I've always liked snow. And the cold weather, even if it doesn't effect me in the ways that it does humans.

Also, there are reindeer I noticed when out this morning. That seemed strange...

Laaaaaaaaaame.

I didn't mean to come here. Oops. Mommy and Daddy aren't going to be very happy with me.
