Freedomtown IC

Deep breath, Ellie.

I'm not good with words. Never have been. But today's a special day.

Today's Kat 18th birthday.

So, I'm gonna try.

I don't know if many people know this, but Kat was the second friend that I made here. We connected straight away, although it wasn't until much later that we realized that our feelings for each other ran deeper than just friendship. Our decision to be together didn't come without some heartbreak and some teething problems, but after holyshitballs almost a year together as a couple, I've come to this conclusion: Kat is, singularly, the most amazing person I've ever met in my entire life.

Honestly, most of the time I don't think she even realizes how amazing she is (which, whoa, what the fuck, right?). There isn't a day that goes by that I'm not blown away by who she is, or how privileged I am to be loved by her. I'm thankful every hour, every minute, every second I get to spend with her, because I know if I hadn't met her I wouldn't know what it felt like to meet your One True Love. I wouldn't know what it would've meant to be afraid to love someone so completely, be afraid to lose them and dive in anyway. I would've missed out on us. And there's a good chance I would've missed out on who she is today.

I love you, Kat. For who you were, who you are, and who you're gonna be someday. Happy Birthday.

Private to Kat

And if you're not against the idea, after this week ... maybe we could run away for a little while? Just us, our love, and the open sky?

My bestie Lita might not be here anymore... but dammit, she loved having a big Pride party every year, so I'm keeping her tradition alive.

Next Thursday, 8pm, the top of Stark Tower in Freedomtown. We're gonna call it Young Pride 2021, and it's a special party for anyone between 16-23. Obviously no booze will be involved, but we'll have good music, good food, and TONS of fun. Let me know if you're interested, because depending on how many people RSVP, we might need to cap it.

Holy flarkin' shit! I'm gonna be 18 in three weeks. I wish my mom and dad were here to see it, but as long as I have Ellie, my friends, and Sawyer & Mama J, It'll be great.

You know... I'm realizing a few things about myself. I do enjoy music (especially the creating it part), but I don't think I'll ever want to make it a priority in my life. I enjoy building things and doing the Young Avenger thing too much. That's who I am, deep inside.

Ellie
Any idea what you're gonna name your ship yet? Cos for real: you have to. Totally bad flarkin' luck not to.

Enid Rhee
Bitch, where the flarkin' hell you been? I miss my bestie.

Hayleigh
Hey girl! I checked with Ellie, and she's totally cool with letting you check out the ship I built her. Just... do me a favor and gimme a chance to clean it good first, ok? Please trust me on this one.

Alright. Anyone who knows me knows that I try to do the right thing, even if I end up doing it in a really, really stupid way.

This right here is one of those stupid ways.

When Galador had a single ruling family, they contacted me about helping with something. As some of you might remember from a few years back, two kaiju (Kong and Clover) appeared here, brought by the gem.

Clover was defeated by having a starship explode in it's face, and Kong was knocked out by Ant-Man in a moment that hopefully gave him a lifetime of pussy being thrown at him.

Nobody ever really asked what happened to the kaiju after this, and I'm guessing everyone just assumed the gem took them just like it brought them. Well... that's not the case.

Those were far from the first kaiju to appear here. In fact, the first of them arrived shortly before we relocated to Galador. Trust me, it wasn't just people that were taking up too much room on Knowhere, folks.

So, we picked out a large, unoccupied continent on the other side of Galador, and have been using it as a habitat for any kaiju that are brought here. We've put one-way shields around it, that enable people/creatures/etc to enter the area, but not to leave without having the shields temporarily lowered.

We called it Monster Island (if you love cheesy old monster movies, you get it), and since I was (at the time) princess of a Monster Kingdom, I was told about it, so that I could help oversee it. I wasn't thrilled about the idea of hiding it from everyone, but a combination of getting their reasoning (if people knew about it, they'd be tempted to visit it and/or weaponize the kaiju) and the fact that they told me I could keep my widdle Jason if I went along with it convinced me.

These monsters are not evil. Not in any way. They're more like wild animals... who happen to be roughly the size of skyscrapers. We'd rather keep you AND them safe. That said, a woman that was just brought here, a half-monster called Mileena, somehow sensed the presence of the kaiju on arrival and stole a ship to get there.

We're sending a retrieval team to get her, but clearly this is gonna make keeping the place a secret any longer pretty much as likely as Joss Whedon ever having a career again.

For now, we're still keeping the coordinates private, for YOUR safety. But I assure you, as Queen of Monstropolis (and by proxy, of Monster Island), once this is over, Queen Emily and myself will sit down with whoever we need to, to devise a method of allowing you all to satisfy your curiosity while also keep you safe.

Bea out, bitches.

ROYALTY/SHIELD/RETRIEVAL TEAM
A'ight, peeps. Here's all the info I could get for you at the moment. There's a shit ton of creatures on that landmass and the surrounding ocean. But obviously, the ones to be extremely careful of are the BIG-ASS BUILDING-SIZED MOTHERFUCKERS.

So, here's a list of the ones we've had placed there, along with any pertinent info that could help.
