For those who knew her, Myka Bering was sent back home.

And there is the other shoe dropping
Of all the times, why now?
Not when Thursday is
I always lose
I can't handle this

I had been thinking about changing my job for awhile, but an opportunity that I rather like has come up and I got the job. It's a company makes sure that charities do what they should actually do and supports them with the money they raise. I'm excited.

I hope to be able to keep doing self-defense, at least on the side, once I'm settled in and the baby has been born. But they've found someone to take over the courses I've been teaching for now, with consideration to the fact I'm expecting and at that point where some physical examples won't be possible soon.

I'm starting to try and think of hobbies, rather than simply work and home, but am at a bit of a loss in regards to options. Are there any hobbies that anyone here enjoys that they would recommend?

I just
Why him?
I mean did't

I fought it at first, but after he came I stepped down. I didn't rebel. I got a job, I began to live an ordinary life. Why did you have to take him away? Why did you bring him here only to send him back? What sort of game is this? You turn me into a Sith Lord, you make me almost kill him, you send Reavers on us, and...and more...and I just. I played the game.

I don't doubt you can probably see this. I just don't want the others to see me like this. So weak with emotion. But I want it in writing so you know that I don't want to sit by anymore. I don't want to play your games. You either send me back or give him back to me. I don't know what I'll do, but I'll find some way to piss you off enough to force me to go back.

Why did you have to take him now? I hadn't even...I didn't get a chance to talk to him about...I mean if Padmé and Anakin can why couldn't we?

I just wanted to start over. I just wanted a normal life. I'm tired of running and fighting. There's a point where it has to stop.

But I'm willing to fight one more time if it stops you.

In case anyone knew him, my husband, Han Solo, was sent home. Don't give me your pity.

I posted about laser tag a bit back. Here are my current tentative thoughts for the team divisions.

Team Claudia	Team Anakin
Claudia Donovan	Anakin Skywalker
Daryl Dixon	Maggie Greene
Elena Gilbert	Elizabeth Swann
H.G. Wells	Myka Bering
Han Solo	Leia Organa-Solo (?)
Faith Lehane	Buffy Summers
Young Regulus Black	Harry Potter
Rachel Berry	Duncan (?)
Jake Jensen (?)

Would anyone else want to come along for a laser tag extravaganza? The more the more chaos and the more fun to be had. And the more I can tweak this list so I can get everyone I want

ETA: I'm adding/changing as people sign up. So pay attention because I might swap where you are.

So, am I to understand that the little note on the table is intended to subdue panic? It could use a little work, though I am certainly in no position to critique the work of mysterious strangers. Honestly, why is it always kidnapping that people resort to as a means to an end? I have experienced worse standards of living, however, so I will withhold any complaints. I have to say that I am admittedly intrigued by the idea of being whisked away against my will.

Who runs this planet? Is it Alliance? Any help beyond the briefest of introductions would be delightful. In the meanwhile, my name is Inara Serra, and I am sure it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

I suppose "pirate" and "lady" wouldn't be considered real job options here.

I just wanted to thank those who were able to make it to the ball last Friday. I'm sorry it seemed to have landed on a day during the latest strange occurrence. But thank you for those who were still able to donate or come out to the ball. It meant a lot to me as well as the women's shelter.

We've added everything together and were fortunate enough to raise - between the castle residents, the citizens of the Land of Make Believe, and the local organizations and business - $15,322! That was beyond our expectations! Thank you for your help.

To those who were unable to make it because they were transformed into a mythological creature of Earth, I'm very sorry. If there is anything I can do to help you, please let me know.

Seems a lot of people have been turned into various things. Anyone other than me still fully themselves?

Don't panic. I've dealt with worse. I think. Maybe.

Alright. I'm mildly impressed. So, what is it? Some drug or poison-induced hallucination? Am I asleep, is this you controlling my dreams right now?

The kidnapped away to an elaborate fairytale-like castle bit is one thing, but the fishtail? Now, that's a nice touch.

But cut the crap.

I'm not interested in playing your games, so go ahead and show yourself so that we can settle this. Face-to-face.

Padmé is pregnant!!

She wouldn't let me post this with big, flashing text She won't let me explain that she wouldn't let me post this with

She's having a baby.

Some of you may or may not know this, but I work as a communications coordinator for the Alliance of Global Justice. We're going to be hosting a charity ball in the next couple of weeks, and I wanted to extend the invitation to everyone in the castle!

I'm working on making personal invitations. However, considering I unfortunately do not know everyone who lives in the castle, I thought first it'd probably be best if I just try to get a head count of those who may be interested in attending. From there I can make the personalized invitations.

It will take place Friday, April 19 at 6pm over at the convention center. Tickets cost $15 each - to try to be reasonably priced - and the plates of food will vary from as low as $5 to as high as $30 depending on what you order. All proceeds will go to a local women's shelter. I'm inviting castle residents, but others in the city will be in attendance as well. Dress is formal.

If you are unable to attend but still would like to donate, you can contact me and I will set you up with that as well. All who attend and donate will have their name placed in a final list that will be given to the women's shelter as well.

I promise that even if you attend and donate to this I won't continue to bother you for more money. I just thought to put the offer out there for everyone.

Thank you for your time! It is greatly appreciated.

[added later]

I forgot to mention that there will be a string band, made up of students from the music department of the university that will accompany the guests in dancing, as well as light music to listen to while you converse with each other.

Isn't much to complain about in this place so far. Save for the fact I don't know how my boy and girl are doing. Or the rest of my friends for that matter. Guess I'll just have to get used to it.

Anyone here a doctor or know about certain...illnesses/diseases and how they work in this land?

(OOC: Let's just pretend this was posted on Sunday during this)

Hello everyone! I was hoping someone my assist me?

I have recently been acquainted with a man named Rick Grimes and was wondering if there are any of you who may already know him?

Thank you for your help!

Look how time flies. I've been here exactly one year today.

If I have a celebratory party this coming Sunday, do you think I could also include celebrating I've recently risen from the grave - or would that be sacrilege?

This device seems to have been provided for the sake of communicating with fellow residents, so I may as well try it out. My name is Uhura and I'm a recent arrival. I'm a Starfleet communications officer. I can't believe there's no way to es Is the primary language spoken here English? It seems to be what I've heard the most in passing.

Everything is so quiet now. I can't feel the death anymore. I look outside and there isn't the constant bloodshed and destruction.

It's a little strange how fast these things come and how easily they can be taken away.

I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and I don't think I'm the only one. Is everything simply physically okay now? I know the buildings being repaired like this never happened isn't what I was expecting to wake up and find.

We have tracking devices now. They are linked to a receiver here at the castle. When you leave the castle grounds, take one so we know where you are out there. They'll be at the entrance with instructions on how to activate them.

Help! I went to find food in the kitchens for Kurt and me and the puppies but I got lost. I know those things aren't inside but I'm scared. I don't know where I am and I've only talked to Kurt. I don't know anyone else but I know there are others here.

Please, help?

I think I'm on the second floor. If I wasn't so freaked out by those things I'd feel more adventurous. As it is, I'd rather stay put until someone can help me...

What the kriff is this?

If this is some work done by the Rebel Scum, they will have to answer to me. You think my destruction of Alderaan was bad? You haven't seen anything yet.

Master Vader, can you see this? It's me, Darth Verloren. I seem to be stuck in some sort of small room, in a concrete building of rooms, on a primitive planet.

There was someone making noise next door. But I took care of him.
