Spinning Compass Network

I tried to use a spell to help me cook. I definitely need to improve on it. But I think Snuffles might want me to try again.

[Attached is a video of a kitchen splattered with red sauce. Gen's hell hound has propped himself up against the counter and is licking off the sauce.]

Well, I'm back I guess. Seems like it's been a while.

For anyone who doesn't know me, I'm Neville Longbottom. I'm a wizard, I specialize in herbology (plants) and it'll take a few weeks to get everything back in order, but I have a lot of medicinal plants in my greenhouse and have gotten a bit of potion making down. So I can work with Dr. Cuddy if you'd like some more options for medical care.

I also have some edible plants and teas. My home and greenhouses are in the park on wheel one, stop in any time.

To whomever was using my sitting room as a clubhouse: I've replicated it and moved your things to the new one, it's just on the other side of the pond.

P.S. Thank you to whomever has been watching over Ruby, he's now found me again

This is tiresome. I am tired of being sent to strange realms. I want to go home.

I do not expect that any of you will be able to assist with that request, so perhaps you will aid me in a smaller one. I do not wish to live in a suite of muggle rooms powered by muggle electricks and with a view of open space that reminds me how perilously close I am to certain death.

Is there a real house anywhere? A house alone, preferably in a field of real grass? I am not in a position to be demanding. A cottage would do. Even a barn. I do not know who owns the land here, such as it is, but I can pay in the muggle dollars.

So you finally managed to make it work.

I see you've fucked up the place enough in the mean time.

I never thought I would see the day. This station's whole. Something seems strange about Wheel 5 but I have yet to look into it further.

Is everyone doing okay so far? Have you managed to settle down yet? There are places where you can find food more easily. It's better than I had imagined things would be.

Thank you for bringing us here, Higgs.

What the bloody hell was that? I can't be the only one who felt it. Felt like I was being pulled away from reality for just a moment and then everything went back to normal. Something is very, very wrong... And I'm sure I know who's responsible.

Are you all right, love?

Hello Party People!

Name’s Higgs Monaghan, but y'all can call me just Higgs. It’s a pleasure to be on your wonderful station and I look forward to getting to know y'all.

Little bit about little old me… well I come from a place quite like this except, you know, less alive. You could say “fuckin’ deserted” but that’s a cuss and my mamma raised me right.

Man oh man. It sure is nice to hear the hustle and bustle of a big empty station with lots of little voices. It feels goddamn electric!

Who feels like a chat?

Looks like I lost a bit of time doing research. What have I missed, if anything?

And does someone fancy taking a trip to Wheel 5 with me? I want to take a look around again.

I missed your birthday. Sorry, I didn't know. How can I make it up to you?

[Filtered to Dan]

Just checking up on you, mate. Are you doing all right?

Asgard really knows how to make decent booze. Think we might need to stock the station up with more of that.

[Filtered to Gen.]

Fancy having another wander around Asgard while we have the chance? I found a nice little spot we could go to. We could take some food with us, relax, enjoy the day or night, whenever you feel up to going.

So, have you changed back yet? If you have, check at the side of your bed. And happy birthday, luv.

You lot didn't have to come for me. I don't understand why any of you did. To all of those who have suffered because of it, I truly am sorry.

Hell was brought to our doorstep. I think it's about time we showed Hell some of the Stations hospitality. So who's up for a bit of a barney? Door closes soon. If you think you've got what it takes, might as well let off some steam. Let me know if you're interested. I can provide magical protections for those who might need them.

[Private to Loki]

How much would you like to topple the Kings of Hell? I make sure you get their crowns, you do something for me. It's that simple.

Is there anyone here who would be willing to join me on another excursion into Hell? Everyone's favorite 'Master of the Dark Arts' has gotten himself captured by a particularly nasty demon and is currently enjoying the hospitality of Hell's torture pits. I refuse to leave him there, and I gather a number of you wouldn't be content to let Constantine rot there either or at the very least some of you owe him a rescue in return.

I'm looking for at least two people to join me, combat experience or magical skill would be helpful but primarily I'd ask that you have the nerve to face hell and perhaps strength enough to carry John if it should come to that.

[Private to Gen]
I was right about him wanting to fix past mistakes. I didn't get a chance to see him myself but John is alive and still has his mind. You're welcome to join me if you feel up to it but getting him back won't be easy.

[Filtered to Abra and Dan]

I'd like to know more about these dreams you two have been having.

[Private to Gen]

I'm going to have to hold off on our magic lessons for a little while, luv. I'm sorry.

I'm going to take a look around Wheel 5 again. It's been a while. Any of you lot fancy coming along? This is a one time offer. I'd prefer someone else who has experience with magic and ghosts. No time wasters.

[Private to Bryn]

I need to ask what else you know about Loki. Most of all, what you know about his power.

Right... so, the sweets are hexed then. Wonderful. I'm not complaining but this definitely makes the top 5 list of weird ways I've woken up.

It's John Constantine, by the way, believe it or not.

Look at this place! It's brilliant! I took these pictures yesterday.

[Fake cut goes here, so Bill's photos don't take over the network]

[Photo of a fruit stall that's like nothing he's ever seen before, full of all kinds of weird-looking, weirdly-colored fruit]

[Photo of Zu haggling with the stall owner, both of them clearly enjoying it despite the stall owner not being human in the slightest. They're tall, with purple skin and a mass of tentacles instead of hair. Some of the tentacles have tattoos down the length of them.]

[Photo of a group of alien kids playing some sort of game with at least three different balls, all of the kids are different]

It's Easter?! Wow. And someone clearly knew I was in dire need of chocolate. Cheers!

So is anyone else getting two spins of this particular wheel? Other than the people I already know about, I mean.

The door might be a trap. Don't go through it.

To whomever put up the memorial, it looks very lovely. Thank you for including everyone, even the ones you might not have known. It is a beautiful place to remember those who are no longer with us.

To whoever has lost someone, I am very sorry. Most of you do not know me but if you need anything, I am happy to support you with whatever you need.
