Multiverse of Madness

The red portals are returning people which is good to see. Still, not everyone is back yet.

Is there anything I can help with in the absence of others? Or perhaps someone that has returned wants an anonymous person to talk to about their trip?

Running on Spidersense overload for this long can’t be good. I’m trying to ignore it by streaming about a million tv shows.

Sooo to distract me some more, from the nineties sitcom category:

Who is your favorite girlfriend?

Monica

Phoebe

Rachel

Janice

Who is your favorite boyfriend?

Chandler

Joey

Ross

Mike

Who is your favorite overall?

Is there anything I can do to help those with the misfortune of a loved one being trapped in a red portal? Easing emotion is something I'm familiar with. I don't know how else to offer such guidance.

One isn't like the other. It's curious yet concerning.

I'm having a hard time sleeping tonight.

I have read the conversations I had when I was here previously. It has provided some insight into what happens in this place. And a number of other feel-

I would have mentioned this sooner but my device was broken over Halloween. A gremlin threw it - as gremlins do. However, gremlins don't tend to disappear with a single touch. That was curious.

Despite the welcome on arrival, I am still not sure how I am here. I should be -

§ My foster dad is back so that's good.

§ Valkyrie & Steve are teaching me to drive. I think I'm pretty good!

§ Milkshakes are amazing. Thank you, Peter.

§ Shatterstar challenged me to combat so that is awesome.

§ Realities are disappearing so that is bad.

So! Bucky mentioned me joining the team before he took his vacation. How can I get on the schedule?

I have some questions about hearts. Healing hearts.

Congratulations on a game well played this weekend!

The final score was 3-4, with my team Team Danvers winning.

Seriously, it was close there for a while. Thanks to everyone who came out.

Is anyone interested in doing something like this again?



Also, thanks T'Challa. You hosted a great party yesterday. It's nice to see people getting along around here.

§ I won $168! I went into some small store in the town and there was this machine selling tickets you have to be 18 to buy. Fun.

§ IMPORTANT QUESTION: Who will teach me to drive?

§ ANOTHER IMPORTANT QUESTION: Pet or droid?

As Donna mentioned in her post, in honor of our friend the cafe has been renamed. Please call it Sally's Place from now on. Sally was a dear friend, and she will be missed.

This weekend I will be sampling a new pastry: blackberry and honey tarts with marscapone cheese. It's an unusual flavor pairing, but I hope that you'll enjoy it as much as I do. Please come by Sally's and try it.

Hello, everybody. I would like let you know, The Noble Queen & Sparrow will now simply be called Sally's.

If anybody has an excess of free time and would like a job, I'm looking for a barista or two. We can discuss days and hours, very flexible.

[Filter: Science team]
You have been working really hard. If you're willing to take a break, you can have a coffee or tea and a treat on the house. If you can't take a break, I will drop some off for you once I close the shop for the day. Let me know what you would like.

[Filter: Catherine Pinkerton]
I offered the science team some of the baked goods. I'll pay for them. I've got enough put back to cover it.

Okay, that's it.

Baseball this weekend. I'm forming teams. We need 9 players each. I already got Carol, Miles, Mantis, and the new girl signed up. Who's in?

Teams are Carol's and Steve's. Let me know who you want to play for!

The Teams So Far

I'm gonna host a baseball training Thursday afternoon. If you want to practice or want to learn the game, meet me outside by the track then.

[Steve]

Checking in.

[Nat]

I do this a lot, I know. But we need to talk when you're free.


[Sam]

Okay, maybe your girl isn't so bad.

[Peter]

You should join. Steve or Carol's team?

[scary Coven Girls]

Wanna play baseball?

New Asgard suits me and Wanda quite well, but I am still available should anyone at the compound need assistance.


[James' filter prompted by this comment]

[FILTER: James Rogers]

Hello, James. I hope you feel better today. I am writing because I have been remiss in getting to know you and your sister. You mentioned I helped you in your reality when you first appeared here, but I didn't realize the extent of your experience. I would like to get to know you better if you are willing.

§ FRIDAY says there is a pool hall and mini-golf court nearby. Who's in? I can fly, so you'll have to find your own way there.

[EDITED TO ADD] APPARENTLY flying is not allowed.

~Torunn

Thinking about starting up some archery classes, if anyone might be interested. (Never fear, assorted moms and dads and uncles and aunts and all -types therein, I'll use foam everything.)

§ You guys lost my foster dad, but spit out a bunch of uncle types.
§ I'm not allowed to hop into a portal.
§ My brother nearly got eaten by an alligator (who is an uncle, oh my Odin)
§ My father has an affiliation for pizza.
§ Food is a big thing (no complaints here)
§ I need a job because school is not happening. Sorry, parental types.

...did I miss anything? I feel like record keeping is important here.

~Torunn Thorsdóttir

I have noticed that due to certain developments over the past week, there has been a lot of stress. Due to my celestial abilities, I am capable of doing many things. I would like to offer my assistance, even if you just need me to stand guard somewhere for hours. Please, let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

EDITED TO ADD

[James Barnes]
Hello, my name is Castiel, and I was told that I should contact you in regards to joining your portal team.

I'd like to do something to help out. I'm a detective back home. Where would I be most useful here?

For the record you don't seem to have accidentally blocked the doorway to the afterlife, so points for that at least.

I do not like this particular human emotion.

[Castiel & Bobby Singer]

All right. The curiosity is too much. I want some spoilers. I know you got some, Cas.

Hello. I got the run down, but let me know if I miss anything.

§ My brother is here.
§ My brother's parents are here, but they are not from our reality.
§ My adoptive dad is here, but he won't know me.
§ My dad is here, but he won't know me either.
§ I have an uncle, an aunt, and a grandmother.
§ Bruce Banner is here, but he is not the Hulk. Oh, and he won't know me either.
§ There is a theme with the whole not knowing me thing.

My only demand is that I live near James.


See ya around,
Torunn Thorsdóttir

Heeeey I have a really great idea!

Let's find a way to work these portals so that the only person I actually care about my friend doesn't keep getting attacked when new people arrive. Yes? Yes, that IS a great idea, Carmen, we'll work on that.

Well which one of those little jerks did this? Dean? Sam? You idjits hanging around or I am riding solo?

It's been a long day. So I put on some old movies in the game room. Currently showing: Godzilla Vs. Mechagodzilla if anyone wants to watch a classic kaiju movie.

I'm fine, but does my reality still exist?
This is a college campus.
I wonder if separating me from my brother was Chuck showing his fear because we were getting so close to unraveling him.
I need to think.
This is different than

Hi, I'm Sam, I'm new.
I need to get home
Weird to be here.

Hello, everyone!

My name is Jemma Simmons. I've been speaking with Daisy about what's been going around here and offered to help where I can. My daughter and I will be staying at The Lighthouse, but I'll be happy to come to the Facilities, New Asgard, or the Wakandan Consulate if needed once we're settled. My background is in biochemistry, and I also served as my team's field physician if any medical assistance would be helpful.

There are a few theories about our visitors I've had percolating, and I understand there's a science team already in place. Perhaps we could collaborate?

So... This is the end of time, huh? Where Variants go to die... of boredom.

Living in this compound is like living in a sci-fi book, you know.

And that's a lot coming from a dude who comes from a team of several people born with inexplainable powers.


[Filtered away from Five]

Anyone... know a guy who knows a guy, if you get the drift?

This pad thing has got to be the weirdest phone I've ever used. It looks like something from 100 years into the future, along with the building I now live in. I am Castiel, and I walked (or maybe I flew) out of Heaven and into this strange place. Which is possibly one of the top five strangest things to ever happen to me. It's nice to meet you all.

For those having just arrived, if you could please stop by Medical at your earliest convenience, we'd appreciate it. Nothing terrible, but we like to keep a check on everyone to make sure we can accommodate any medical needs.

I think it goes without saying that the folks who went on their space trip should stop in for a quick check as well. Just to be safe.


[Zoe]
How are you and the baby doing? Are you running low on anything?

Sent immediately after his prayer

Castiel
You ok? Did it happen to you too?

Thank you, Steve, for letting us celebrate your birthday.

I have never celebrated anyone's birthday in such an exuberant manner before. Is that customary to do so on this world?

I wasn't overly fond of dinosaurs the first time. The herbivores still converse with their mouths full.

Has the portal stabilized for the moment? My grace appears to have returned to a normal level and I wonder if there is some sort of connection.

[Dean]
You don't have to think so loud. I can hear you all the same.

Castiel
You can't hear me anymore, can you? I read your messages with Pepper. They weren't private.

Charlie
You didn't go through one of those portals, did you?

Hello, all. Will you please let me know if you are experiencing any side effects from the portals? I.E. weakened magic, etc. After talking to Stephen, we would like to see if there are any patterns.

Thank you.

It's quiet. I can't hear prayers anymore.

If there is anything I can assist with, please don't hesitate to ask.

Castiel, we have a tour of duty together on the eleventh. I know who you are, but I don't know you. I thought it would make the day easier if we talked some so the awkwardness would be over. What do you think?

My car didn't happen to drop down the rabbit hole too, did it? Black 76 chevy impala. Don't mess with the trunk if you find it. Don't try to get in the car. I have the keys. Just come find me.

Sammy? Are you here too? Cas? Jack? Mom? Anyone?

Alas the fluctuations in energy from the portal hasn't affected the way I taste food. PB & J, I still miss you.

Apologies for the mess in the kitchen. I will tidy it.

Tag dump, please ignore

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.

let’s say you’re a good old catholic boy but since you’re newly arrived, you’ve never scouted a single church in the area. let’s also say you’ve got a long list of sins and you’re gonna need a confessional.

hypothetically: where does this good old catholic boy go?

First off, vampires are definitely tougher than they look. So, yeah, we won't have to worry about them anymore.

The portal closed. Sam, me, and the gang just got back safely. Just a little worse for wear, a few cuts, and scratches, but overall okay.

Dean and Dinah chose to stay back behind. They didn't know

In other news, we've had an interesting development with a couple of new arrivals! Grace, I'm going to guess this Ryder guy is yours.

And uh....congrats, it's twins. Steve must have wished really hard because another Bucky has arrived. Guess this multiverse thing is a real kick, isn't it?

So enjoy that, Barnes.

I think I like this one better.

[Sam]

I'm sorry. I didn't know the portal would go unstable that quickly. We'll keep trying to open it up.
