Knowhere IC

How is everyone settling back in? Medical's back up and running (thanks, Doc) so as people start returning, if anything happens, we'll be ready to take it on.

Also, thanks to those of you who are bringing food back with you, and making special trips to bring back the food.

And for the people who helped transport the tribbles to new homes-- you know who you are. You're beautiful and we love you.

We could also use a little blood, so anyone who can donate, drop on by. We'll keep everything compartmentalized by who and where, it's just safer that way.

[Voice post]

[Li-Ming's voice is crisp as ever, although it is tinged with frustration. There is laughter nearby and while it isn't hers it's noticeably Leah's]

oh nephalem solve this problem for me. oh nephalem, go kill this lord of hell. oh nephalem, wade through sewers.

all things i accept, all things i am glad to handle as this is my solemn duty.

what isn't my solemn duty is getting near buried in those little walking plagues! stop laughing leah and help!

Wizards, mutants.

If you don't know me, my name is Roy Mustang. I'm a State Alchemist and my specialty is fire. I have an ability to manipulate the oxygen density in the air into precise patterns. It's a practiced, effective attack that allows me to target my enemies and bypass my allies at will.

I'm asking you, for the purposes of this extermination, to let me weave your flames with mine so I we can produce a controlled, precise burn.

No one needs to get hurt.

Someone gave me a hug.

A hug.

And not like a fleshy human hug where some idiot wraps their arms around another idiot, but a stupid hippo-looking stuffed animals that vibrates when the idiot on the other end of the wifi pushes a button.

I don't need a fucking hug.

What I need is to get laid, because I haven't in like three days.

I will find you and I will skin you and wear your face as a hat.

So did... anyone else wake up chained to a beautiful woman or.. was that just me?

I think it's the passports..

And I'm sorry again, Lady Sif, I swear I didn't mean to.

this is hardly a question i've ever considered asking, but how many wizards are there actually? the reputation that title has hardly seems to apply to other places so i do find myself curious.

i also wish i had caldeum's libraries but i'll have to make do.

That bloke, Mister Dresden, says that you're a wizard. I am, too. May I ask you some questions?

Listen up.

I am not nice.

So whoever has that notion in their head, just know that I would kill you for a Klondike Bar.

everyone seems to enjoy this earth so much so heres an important question: does it have any magical libraries? if so, the trip might actually be worth it. mostly because this place seems to lack anything truly new to study.

and it took me until now to get my boots clean. i still owe you thanks for that harry dresden. trust i am crafting the perfect spell for it.

( For a heart stopping moment he thought he'd made a stupid decision )

I've been looking at the magical means for these disappearances because Castiel says he can still sense the missing people somewhere, but he can't determine how near or far. I know that there's a dimension that borders our own; we call it the Nevernever, which in supernatural circles, is best described as the spirit world. The cat I sent out with Bob found several places that touch on this world enough for people to be able to go through it to that side of things.

I'm going to open a Way into the Nevernever and see if our people are on that side of it, and if not, I'm going to politely ask whatever is on that side if they've seen traces or heard anything worth hearing about.

The Nevernever is the place of Faerie, of Heaven and Hell, Elysium and Tartarus and Valhalla and every other place you can think of from Gehena to Olypmus. It's scary as shit and there's no telling what the hell is on the other side of a Way.

So if you want to come, okay.

But I will say this: smaller parties attract less attention and will let us move faster. Speed and less attention are our best allies. We're not going in twenty deep.

Your technology won't work on the other side, so don't bother saddling up with communication devices or freaking blasters and fancy guns. The older your weapons, the less likely they are to malfunction - anything built before 1960 is the best. Whatever you bring in, you bring back out with you because leaving it behind is the equivalent of dropping nuclear waste on someone's lawn. It'll come back and bite you in the ass, trust me.

We leave t-minus 6 hours. If you're coming, meet behind Starlin's then.

If you have questions ask them now, and make sure everyone coming reads them all.
