In The Tardis

I've just realized this is the first time in my life I've spent the time surrounding Yule in a place with much snow. It makes me feel strangely more homesick than I've been so far, I suspect it's wondering how the family I'd already been parted from before I came here would think of it.

At least it's given me a decent excuse to look at shops besides the booksellers, even if the chances of the people I'm thinking of when I shop arriving here are small.

I found board games. I do not know how to play them.

[ attached is an image of a stack of board games (you can pick which games are pictured) ]

All of this for a wedding?


[Anne Shirley Cuthbert]

Dear Anne,

There is a bookshop here - you've probably been to them all by now - this one boasts having the rarest books in town.

On the chance that you either have not been yet or should like to go again and do not deem it too inappropriate, I would like to accompany you.

- Gilbert.

I need movie recs.

I've gone through an enormous amount of black and white films.

And I should probably not rewatch Wizard of Oz for like...the tenth time in three days.

Christmas is coming up soon.

And I know it sounds stupid, but I miss my parents.

[Tandy]
Can we do something fun on Christmas? I don't care if it's eat ridiculous amounts of junk food and play games with other people.

We get almost no snow back home, so this is pretty awesome...but a little warning would've been nice so I didn't step out of my door and into a pile of snow up to my knees.


Ty, I'm challenging you to a no-holds-barred snowball fight. You pick the spot and time.

So I know there’s been a lot of talk about sparring and hand to hand training, but not a lots been said for those of us that might want to practice weapons training. Thinking about setting up a target range, for shooting, or throwing, or arrows or whatever, if anyone might be interested?

Weird to have Thanksgiving without my family. Even missed Ellie’s marshmallow topped sweet potatoes. And now I miss Morgan.

[….] it’s definitely just a coincidence that when I went looking for booze in the kitchen I found marshmallow flavoured vodka, right?

I'm going to get a fresh turkey. Does anyone else need one?

If anyone wants recipes for traditional roast turkey, I have some. I also know recipes for turkey gizzards, liver, feet, heart, etc.

I'm kinda bummed to be missing the Bayou Battle of the Bands this year. There's always a ton of great new music after.

[Inej, Abigail, Ty]

So I know a couple of you don't know what I'm talking about probably, but this Thursday is kind of a bit food holiday where Ty and I are from. Do you all want to maybe join us? You can invite friends, if you want.

Love informs me that Thanksgiving is coming up. I am aware that it is a midgardian holiday, but beyond that I am at quite a loss. Can anyone explain what it entails, please? She seems quite keen to partake in it.

With the TARDIS essentially out of action while she refuels, I’m sure anxiety is running a bit high, and given the potential for people to go a bit stir crazy at the moment, I feel as if I should maybe extend the offer of a friendly ear if anyone feels like they might need to air anything. No pressure or obligation, obviously, but my door is open to any of you if you feel like you need it.

This phoneish thing tells me it's my birthday!

Happy Birthday, me.

[...]

This isn't pathetic at all.

Anyone else getting messed up by the whole no sun and moon thing?

My sleep/wake pattern is f-ed.

hi
hi
hello!
it's me
you know who i am
let me tell you what kind of drink i'd make for you.
please
please
do tell me!

I do not know that I should be surprised by anything that happens in this place, but I certainly did not expect to find Silfrintoppr when I visited the lagoon this morning.

If anyone is interested, I tried my hand at making scones.

I followed a few recipes.

There are more scones than I can possibly eat.

I never thought this day would come.

In fact, I would laugh if someone told me this would happen.

I have, in fact, grown tired of waffles.

Hands up who thinks something weird is going to happen on the 31st?

[Batfam]

Hey, so, I was wondering when everyone is from? I don’t want to inadvertently spoil anyone about future things from home.

There's a harpsichord in my room. It looks just like the one my guardian taught me to play on.

I think deerling likes the music.

((there's a short video attached of Abigail playing the start of an aria on her harpsichord, with her little deerling next to her looking happy.))

How long are we going to be fucking stuck here? Getting a little bit stir crazy.

oh
uhm
i found something
it is very very old looking
what's the word
when there's words on a paper
and the paper is tied together
so you dont lose any of the paper?

Ya know. I feel like this couldn't have been any better for me. This is the most appropriate Pokémon. I love him. I can't wait to have some adventures with this guy.

Is it normal for these creatures to just have to fend for themselves until someone traps 'em even when they're clearly small enough for just about anything to snap up for dinner? Because this little one seemed to be all out on its lonesome and when I knelt down to try and ask if it was lost it just jumped up and started...I mean, I'd call it kissing, but I'm not sure it has the same association for them



At least it didn't start eating me in the not-fun way, so I can't complain.

So I've visited the salon a few times.

The museum multiple times.

Now all that's missing is a visit to a really good deli.

Anything else I should do while we're here?

According to a calendar, I turn eighteen tomorrow.

I wish Marcel and Josh were here to help me celebrate..

I bought a bunch of baked goods at the café. If anyone wants to join me for a birthday cupcake tomorrow?

This place is very strange. Between the medbay doing a medical scan without any doctor present, to just how large this place feels to how tiny it is on the outside, and the strange little creatures outside.

I seem to have already attracted the attention of one of the creatures. It seems to like me, and doesn't want to leave my side.

I also feel at least three familiar presences, but the Force isn't as strong here. Though perhaps I am bit disoriented.

Since I am apparently going to be here for awhile, I should introduce myself. I'm Rey Skywalker.

Strangely not the first time I've opened a door and wound up somewhere I wasn't a second ago. Though I really wish I'd get some kind of cool notice before it happens. Y'know, a flash of lightning? Burst of wind? The kind of portal effects on Wendy, or when one of the Flashes is mid-battle. ...Bart...

Clearly not Myrg, not Apokolypse - much less scary than there, but... now I'm thinking I'm crazy because that's bird carrying an upside down leek a Farfetch'd, right? A Pokemon? I just stole my bow back from a Pokemon that is now following me around like I'm it's long lost mother! All this and somehow my friends aren't even around!? This is definitely a Young Justice on their adventure level.

Hi, I'm Cissie and I'm currently losing my mind.

[Shaky, inelegant video. Blue text indicates where the Wynaut is speaking, which should be obvious anyway.]

[The Wynaut is waddling like a lost duckling, waving its head-arms at the camera.]



Wynaut

Frans, please help! This large, blue, furry Creature has been Pursuing me all day, shouting WHY NOT! WHY NOT! Please, little Bébé, go find your Mama.

Wynaut

I don't know why not, but you Clearly Need a Nap. You look Positively Depleted!

Wynaut

And you need a Bath As Well! You are Exuviating Everywhere. Watch the dress!

Can anyone help?

This thing works, yeah?

Look. I appreciate a good kidnap as much as anyone. Honestly, top marks all round. 10/10 for ingenuity. And creativity, actually – the décor is outstanding. I’ve picked up some excellent ideas for the living room.

Anyway, I hate to be the bloke who doesn’t play along, but I have stuff going on at home. Pumpkins to carve, toddler costumes to negotiate, etc etc. So if someone could just point me in the direction of the exit, that would be peachy. Ta very much.

everyone everyone!
i had an idea
and the tardis made it!
i want to show you!
it's a playground for our pokemans!
so much room for them to run and play

[…]

This was definitely not the appointment I had scheduled for today.

Well, this is not my ideal choice for a resurrection. However, given where I just was, one can hardly afford to be picky.

I'll take my bloody second chance any way I can get it.

Why is this thing-

You know, a long time ago I'd probably have asked if this was heaven. But just because I know better, doesn't mean I'm not real happy to be here. Kinda wish you'd showed up before the giant monstrosity broke free of the Rift and started destroying my city, but that'd probably be pushing my luck.

You could have at least left a banana in my pocket when you took my sidearm, though.

Why did you l-

IT HATCHED!

I found an egg by the river and had it in my pocket all week, I completely forgot about it. And it hatched!

( Look at it! )

HOLY SHIT!

THE TARDIS

POKEMON

I wish Daniel were here. Or Matthew. Or Dad, honestly. Or Harry.

Are we sure Harry isn't here? This is something that is so much more likely to happen to him than me. Or it would have been, before

So I get to just go out there and try to become a Pokemon Master or whatever?

I caught a cute green guy with a green bulb on his back! He keeps saying Bulbasaur and responded when I called him Bobby. He's got a name!

It looks like I made a new friend.

I didn't plan on keeping any, but it's adorable and keeps following me.

I was exploring Cyllage City earlier today. I stopped to have some coffee when I heard some clattering behind one of the shops and found this guy. They said he's a Nickit and was causing trouble. I offered to take him and he came with me without any problems. Now he won't leave me. He seems very sweet to me.

Public service announcement that Dean Winchester is the worst brother ever, after catching a moose shaped Pokémon and then giving it to me because he thinks he’s hilarious.

[…]

Guess, it could’ve been worse. Could’ve been Mr Mime. Honestly, dude, you might be slipping.

Ah, I really love when the time machine randomly makes new additions while simultaneously getting me lost.

[ Sif ]

Christmas came early for you.

[ Jon ]

I've upgraded my steak knives.

流口水的妓女和猴子的儿子.

How many times I gotta say it - I would like to be released.

I ain't askin' nice.

Okay so Mr. Stark Tony and I analyzed a large amount of data and made some discoveries.

There is a massive spike of activity in the data just before someone pops up or disappears. Markers indicate which way to go and, in the case of disappearances, an information gap immediately following to reveal who it was. Everyone's readings are available, but then X mysteriously vanishes.

We are also investigating any anomalies to determine why people are being returned.

For all upcoming departures, we programmed the network to receive notifications.

[ ooc note: mod approved ]

Okay, not that this isn’t exciting, because, I mean, come on? It’s the TARDIS, and there are Pokémon outside and this is probably one of the best nervous breakdowns I’ve ever had. And ordinarily, I’d be totally into it, but right nows really not a great time for me.

I don't know what the hell just happened, but I guess Cami's gone because I just appeared in my room and can't leave until I have a new guardian. This is gonna get old fast

Inej? Dr. Strange? Bueller?

I need [...] help.

Get out of here.

I need help out of here.

I'm told I can't leave Medbay until I get a guardian. I don't suppose Marcel, Josh, or Cami are here? Kaleb?

Although, it's nice my ankle is healed.

I hope Mikael won't get free.

[the video feed wobbles a bit, showing at first an expanse of grass and flowers then it seems like the device must have dropped as all that can be seen is a blackish-brown nothing and there's some muffled noises like whoever had been holding it is struggling with something. Finally it's lifted again and after a few more shaky moments levels out to show Simon sitting cross-legged in the grass, a basket with a few flowers and plants set at his side, in slightly-dirt covered slacks and button up shirt…and an Oddish standing on his leg and seemingly attempting to clamber up his free arm]

Well, I'd had no intention of deliberately acquiring one of these creatures, while I was out examining the local flora, I accidentally mistook one of them for a less-animate plant and for whatever reason it has now decided to follow me about. I'm not sure if it's trying to punish me for so rudely grabbing its head or actually decided that was a proper way to start an acquaintance.

I GOT MY VERY FIRST BADGE
WE SQUASHED THE BUGS
LOOK AT THE BUG BADGE
it kind of looks like a scarab

[ attached is a crude selfie of her with the bug badge and her lil pokemon team in the bg. ]

I visited Snowbelle City, for skiing and skating. It was fun, kind of like being back in a Minnesota winter.

Afterwards, I explored the woods nearby and I encountered one of the creatures. I'm not sure if caught is the right word. I was very quiet, let it come to me. We played and now it wants to stick with me. So adorable!
