The Junkyard: IC Community

I'm not convinced these stupid squirrels don't have something to do with this magic shit. One of them threw a rock at me and now I'm about fifty pounds heavier and everything pulls to the left.

Anyone good at haircuts? I don't trust myself with a pair of scissors near my head. Or braids, maybe. Bet I could make pigtails look cool.

Hey- do you think you could help me take a look at this arm? I can do basic maintenance, I think, and I'm pretty sure I have ideas on how this one works, but I need an extra set of hands and probably eyes to get the spots I can't reach.

I may not be a scientist, or a doctor, but I know the importance of data. I thought it might be a good idea to get a running list of people affected by these crystals, and what those effects are.

So, everyone who's been hit with these things, sound off. You know, for science.

Oh dear. Is anyone else experiencing an unexpected transformation?

No one found a hideoteous book of magic spells, did they?


ETA: AVOID THE CRYSTALS. TRY NOT TO STEP ON THEM OR PICK THEM UP. If you have already come in contact with a crystal, please bring it to the lab. I'm sure our brightest minds can fix this.

Alright, I'm putting out a call for a couple of strong armed gentleman (or ladies) to help me move some exercise equipment out of one of the unused rooms in the gym. Most of it doesn't seem usable, but maybe we can break them down for spare parts or something.

This is embarrassing.

Hey, folks. Starting off with the good-in-hindsight news: the wiring in the old gym is not as much of a fire hazard as I worried it was! It was enough for me to steal one of those big vacuum cleaner things to get some of the gross out of the [...] gymnasium part? Basketball court? Swept it up a bit. Tried to make it smell a bit less like 'old gym' in there.

In the regular good news category: Since I know Steve-o's been getting healed up and not had time to get the movie together, I thought I'd offer an alternative to the date ni outing tonight in the form of a dance.

I've got the place and the music and the big bowls of punch. You can bring yourselves, maybe a light snack, and your dancing shoes 😊

I figured we'd have a little kind of class before things start so folks could learn a couple moves if they want, and maybe help the folks who want to look for a dance partner find one who's not gonna step all over their toes.

Uh Dress code is 'whatever's comfortable to dance', I guess? We're not going super fancy, or at least I don't think we are.

I'm gonna be there starting about 7:00 I think. And, uh, that's it?

Okay.

So, I'll be the guy to ask, I guess. Does anybody have a sort of "So You Landed Half a Century in the Future..." guide to all this weird future technology? Or for people that maybe don't come from a place with cellular phones and desk-top computers and whatever else is hanging around? It feels like the kind of thing that might let us help out more. Cause this may as well be magic, to me.

For the love of Christ tell me this is how you make these messages private.

So, uh. Anyone here have any experience in carpentry or construction? Suggestions on where to build a garage of some kind, or maybe a barn or warehouse? I think enough of us are going to end up with transportation or pets and we'll need a place to work from.

We're also needing help with medical and the armory. Any doctors here?

I've also found a part of a diner nearby- it's where I found Steve? I went by earlier and was able to bring back a bunch of foodstuff, but would anyone else be willing to come with me to empty out the rest of the pantry? I got a bunch from the freezer that still seemed to be holding up okay, so we've got some of that, and there might be more that we can salvage before others raid it and clean it out or it disappears. There's more tea and coffee and I know some of us will want that.

Speaking of, how about a feast on Saturday? We've got an influx of food and we probably wanna eat some of it before it goes bad.

Checking in- you doing alright? Settling in okay?

I got the projector up and running in the theater. It's not as cozy as the lounge, but we should be able to use it if you want.

They really do just let Stark make whatever he wants, don't they?

Howdy, little typewriter screen thing. My name's Steve. This place is nuts and I'm going to be late for work. Anybody want to point me in the direction of Hell's Kitchen?

Uh, guys?

Something is fighting the cloud monster.

Anyone have super vision or something? They look like insects from here.

Is this concerning or just another day in The Void?

So this is clearly a space where not having a means of self-protection is asking for trouble, and it's probably better to have more than one. I'm thinking we should do a skill swap. Offer your abilities with your preferred weapon, get back something you want to learn. If you've got no combat ability you can teach people to knit or something. Everyone's got something to offer.

Anyone in? If so I'll put something together next week.

On another note, the library gets a 4/10 from me. The lab's got potential though.

You know, when I thought about what an afterlife might look like, it definitely didn't include a crashed helicarrier, and whatever the hell this place is.

"You're in the Void. Think of it as purgatory. Some call it a metaphysical junkyard where anything useless goes before it gets annihilated forever. It's where people that don't play nice with the rest of the Multiverse end up."
