Anybody seen Eddie?

I think he's caught up in all the general fuckery, he feels weird in my head. Usually he hangs around through the weird so it might be messing with his memory or something.

[Zip-zip to Eddie, gently]

Hey, can you hear me?

Hi, I'm Kat. Resident animal wrangler. I hear words of shooting and I cannot help but feel a little concerned.

Could someone who was involved in the incident explain what happened? I hope I'm sure this will put all of us at ease. Thank you.

So... I'm stuck. Six months of trying and I just can't get a hang of shapeshifting. At least not the way my Dad does it. Which sucks. Is there any other shapeshifter out there who can give me some tips?

Muuuuum, help?

2022, huh? Exciting.

This is new. And I don't say that often. Does anyone know which company made these phones? If they haven't made millions yet, they're going to. And that is before I think about the fact that this is an actual space station like something out of a sci-fi show.

Hi. I'm James. James Valerius Kushim. Is it true that strange things happen here, and people might believe anything, no matter how unusual?

As you must know, once Brenna (and any other prisoners) are released from custody, Bryn is rounding up a group to take the police by force. I believe there is also a man to be held accountable for his actions.

I know the authorities of this time, and they will not take this lightly. Although they will clearly know their assailants are not Parisians, they will want to make a show of force, and from past experience I believe this will be military action against the abaisse.

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their help so far, and also to say that anyone who wishes to avoid conflict may leave this place safely now. What you have done for my people will not be forgotten.

I told Bryn that I did not wish for the people here to suffer. I have since remembered that they are already suffering. I have been so insistent that the people rise on their own, that I failed to see the wonderful opportunity presented by the door. They can rise for themselves, but it need not be alone.

Whoever of you will stay and fight back with me, it would be my absolute honour to stand with you.

[Private to her sons]

Hey boys, I've got a task for you. James is looking for a baby sitter and I thought you would be the ideal candidates. In exchange, you can pick something to do for the next few days. Something reasonable! I don't want to hear skipping school for a week to play video games.

[Private to Lucy and Shannon]

I've asked the boys to babysit James' daughter. Could you keep an eye on them if they do?

I apologise for the delay in posting, but as you can surely imagine, it has been a difficult time. However, I did want to offer an introduction to the world you will find through the door.

A few words of caution first.

Ladies, please do not go without an escort, or a weapon that you are not afraid to use.

There are many pickpockets about, so be wary and do not flaunt any wealth unless you seek trouble.

We are in the midst of a cholera epidemic. I believe there is now a vaccine, and effective treatment available. I will leave the medical staff to advise on this point, but do not drink the water through the door. It is contaminated. (Can we do anything about this without changing the course of history? Educate?)

I have spoken to a number of you about formulating a plan to help the people of Paris following the recent uprising, and I also want to offer my sincere thanks to those of you who have already offered, or are actively helping.

The building you first enter was a stronghold of the Revolution, and it is important that it is rebuilt as a symbol of resistance. The blood has been cleaned, and some volunteers are working on clearing the rubble. We need to replace the ceiling of the first floor. I would like to hire some locals to help with this, and pay them accordingly for their labour. Offering honest work is better than charity. Anyone willing to act as site foreman for this? I am happy to act as translator if it is the only issue.

When the people rise again, and they will, they will need better weapons. We cannot give them anything not yet invented, but we can help stockpile weapons and ammunition of the time that the common man cannot necessarily afford. They will also need field medical kits.

Hungry people have no fight in them. When we can reopen the Musain, can we find a way to feed people without it becoming a riot? I'm open to suggestions. On all these points.

I will be staying in Paris, but I will remain in contact. I can also find apartments for anyone else who wishes to stay.

There's gonna be a spiderman and spiderish-woman race. It'll be educational. And fun to watch. I haven't picked a date yet.

There's also gonna be an eighties movie night. Movies like ET, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, Ghostbusters, Aliens, Gremlins, Die Hard, Terminator, Predator. We don't have time for all of them in one night, so let me know which ones you want to see. And if you want it on Friday or Saturday. I'm asking everyone. 'Cause everyone can come.

Losers v.2

We're gonna get time off school to watch the race and we have to come up with an obstacle course.

First day without crying. I'm not sure whether that's a good or a bad thing.

Rhys is gone. I need a few days. Maybe longer. Thank you.

[OOC: She will have informed her family in person before this and probably won't respond directly - that doesn't mean she won't read it.]

I know this is short notice, but I'm having a party on the 11th. It's going to be 40s-50s themed. I know last year was a big year for me, but this is too. I've lived ten years longer than I should have. So it's a birthday and anniversary rolled into one!

Sooo... this is new.

(OOC: Attached is a picture of a human arm morphed into a wing. Its original human structure is still clearly visible.)

And disturbing. Did I mention disturbing?

It's clearly time to learn some shape changing.

If anyone was in the mall near the food court earlier, I'm really sorry but my magelight's been doing really weird stuff recently and it just appeared and then got stupidly bright earlier.

Ladies, Gentlemen, and those in between,

I have spelled the portal to Ingouf, once you step through the portal you will be gifted with the people beyond it. You will be able to speak Old Norse, and understand it as if it was a language you were born to.

If you wish to keep this skill after simply see me, and it can be arranged.

I want to go out and explore an old factory. Is there anyone who would like to join? I was thinking about taking one more person with me. Some company would be nice.

[Ooc: I was thinking possibly writing a thread about this. Additionally, if anyone else mentions they are interested, she is likely to pick one of them the next time she goes out.]

How often do the doors open up? Will there be another one to Nueva York any time soon?

[OC - Annie's picture is a younger, blonde and blue eyed version of herself, in the area of 10-12 years old.]

Greetings,

One has awoken in a strange room which is not one's home and one has determined that this is how you all communicate, even initially.

Could someone explain, perhaps, why one is in this woman's strange room and why one is here?

If this is about money or power, One's father has given one permission to negotiate on behalf of the Czarian Empire befitting the titles one holds.

Well shit, would you look at you guys?


Sorry little me, I fucked up your shirt.

Greetings,

I was hoping to find someone to spar with, perhaps? It has been some time and while I do not believe my skills have waned in any way, shape or form, I do believe it is good to not only keep practicing but also learn new skills and techniques. Would anyone perhaps be interested?

Artorias.
