Multiverse of Madness

Buckle in, folks, this is going to be a long one. I'll try to tl;dr where I can.

( GAME PLOT )

If you have questions, I'll do my best to answer, but a lot of this is in technical-ese and I didn't take that elective in high school. Sorry! (not sorry)

Can't say I fancy being the one to point it out, but I can't be the only one who's noticed the mirrors in the woods, right?

I'd love it if someone just admitted it was a weird art installation for the season.

Trying not to be an alarmist, but has anyone seen Ray Palmer? He was supposed to meet me to pick up a book order, but that was a couple of hours ago, and Zari said she hasn't heard from him either.

Now my ship has appeared, I find myself in need of a few extra hands. There’s treasure to be found and you will get a… reasonable share of the bounty.

Only the most tenacious scallywags need apply to join the Gotham Knight’s crew.

Who has wishes?

I'd love to grant some as the local fairy godfather!

Has anyone else found themselves with a usually inanimate object as a sidekick?

My motorbike is very chatty all of a sudden and keeps following me and Haley around. I told it that I have security patrol, and it seemed to think it could handle that too, so if you see it in the portal room, or doing a perimeter sweep, uh… don’t worry?

[Filtered away from her step family, which is essentially Simon]

The downside of living with my family is the rare times I can visit the market and enjoy some fresh apples. I truly love those very rare moments when I'm not cleaning and doing loads of laundry.

[ooc: Death thinks she's Morbidella (Cinderella) and Simon is her evil stepbrother so...yeah]

I’m officially moved in with Kaldur in New Asgard 😊 There aren’t many tall buildings out here but I can always head to the city to get my web slinging fix.

[Leadership types & Magnus]

Apologies if Kaldur has already messaged you about this. But while he and I were away through the red portal we got a tiny piece of information about them.

We met a sea goddess and she told us that the magic behind them was beyond her knowledge but the forces creating them aren’t friendly, they’re searching for a way home, ripping through realities until they do, but if that happens it’ll mean the end of our little community as we know it… we’ll be overrun and destroyed. I don’t usually spook easily but when a goddess issues a warning you have to take it to heart.

Long story short; we need to stop the portals and the beings behind them, which are probably the demons we’ve seen pop up. They’re unfriendly and powerful, right?

So uh, I have a weird question. But it’s really important.

Do super soldiers hibernate? Is it a thing they do to protect their metabolism? Or heal?

I only ask because I found Sgt. Barnes out cold under an Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Which isn’t a usual napping spot.

All of this is starting to give me Seelie Court flashbacks, and I'm not having a good time.

Look, I'm all about the whimsy, but I can't be the only one a little weirded out by our new fairy friends...

[Science / Security / Medical]

There was an incident at the Lighthouse. Jemma's gone. I need every sensor and tracker we've got in here right now.

[...]

And a medical team.


[OOC: As implied in the log, the last several time loops slowly grew longer and longer between resets until it was about an hour in between, so it won't be immediately obvious to anyone that it's done-done until this message goes out.]

Please be advised there is an emerging situation happening at the Lighthouse.

At 20:37, the seismic sensors registered a low level tremor consistent with a detonation located at the Lighthouse coordinates. The event repeated minutes later.

Eyewitnesses in the area have described an explosion that levels the Lighthouse, but couldn't get closer. They said a green flash of light accompanied every reset. I've sent a team to establish a perimeter and ask that no one goes near until we find out more. Tony is sending in people to make sure the public and the media stays out of this. Team Science, I'd love you to weigh in.

I'll keep everyone updated as I can. So far, we can't raise communications inside. If you've been living and/or working in the Lighthouse, please check in here, let us know you're okay.

We've had another incident in the woods between New Asgard and the Facility.

No one was gravely injured, and we're not restricting movement in the area but please take this as a strong advisement not to travel on your own until we know more.

More updates will be provided as they become available.

( [Shadowhunters + Magnus] )

Knowledge is a heavy burden to bear, my friends.

I remember what happened to me.

And I fear what it means for our little conclave of refugees.

[Filtered to Everyone on the Network, but Not a Public Post]

I've received another report of a recent disappearance, but one that wasn't corroborated until today. Some SI employees saw a couple get pulled into a red portal in the diner down the road a few miles on Friday. The Stark Industries' security team couldn't get the CCTV pulled until today and confirmed it was Frank Castle and Karen Page.

Tony suggested we activate the GPS tracker embedded in all our data pads. Since this is the first I've ever heard about anything like this existing on our devices, I wanted to turn that decision over to those who might be interested in having it turned on. I can send you the directions to do so. Tony also told me that he has a backdoor update that can completely delete the program and frag the hardware, if you feel this is too invasive.

In the spirit of full transparency, I'm still debating what I want to do.

If you have any questions, please reach out to me and/or any of the Security/Administration staff.

As always, be safe out there.

My husband, Sam and Bucky vanished last night from Threshold via a red portal.

Clint is still gone.

Our portal is blue. The one that took me to the Continent was gold. So this is some new fucking nightmare.

That was three hours of my life I'll never get back.

"I can do this all day"? Really? A whole song?




[Five sat through Rogers: The Musical]

Uh.. hello?

Where is everyone, or when? I was literally gone twenty minutes!

Okay, okay.

I’m just going to assume the same thing happened to the entire compound as it did to me and you’re all in weird parts of this world’s history too. Which means I’m on my own, and talking to myself… and I also have free reign in the kitchen with nobody to judge my eating habits.

I didn’t mind a (very) brief trip to San Francisco, but the giant Thomas the Train toy smashing up a building was pretty intense.

I’m just going to wait here and hope that you guys are going to all reappear.

No need to panic, right?

Did you children really think this was over?

For the record, I never want to step foot in a casino ever again.

Ever black out and wake up with a tattoo? Yeah...

Wonderland is a helluva place.

If you are among the returned and have not yet been brought or come to Medical under your own power, we request you come by for a check-up at your earliest convenience.

Thank you, and welcome back.

Why do teenaged boys have to be Like. That. ?

Is it genetic? Hard wired into their chromosomes? Ugh.

[Around 3am Monday morning, a voice transmission comes through the portal and appears over the network. It's Tony, though it's hard to decipher between static]

...thing on...? Okay...uh....This is Tony Stark. ... day 7 or 8? I can't remember. Hard to keep track of time when you're...

This message is for Earth-1999999.... uh, Darcy, if you're getting this, I'm alive and.... we need to hone in on the original frequency more....universes aren't...

Steve, don't.....I swear to God if...

....Pepper, I'm okay.....dream about you. Take care of Morgan and the kids.... Be home soon...

[A loud screech ends the transmission. It cannot be traced after that, but it has been recorded on the network and can be analyzed.]

Tag dump, please ignore

( Plot Post: Infinity Stones Update )

Oh, and we have a couple of new guys come through. Again. Girls, actually.

I haven't had a chance to talk to them much, but I know one is a doctor. Martha Jones, actually. Eddie might be interested to talk to her.

The other is Buffy Summers. She's feisty. I like her. Could give you a run for your money, Natasha.
