Multiverse of Madness

I was happy to have my lab here, but the portal saw fit to take half my staff. Now I'm not sure anymore. Should anyone have interest in science, It's..quite large and has plenty of space.

I find it striking when the weather outside matches my mood.

And I need a haircut.

Hope you aren't all too hungover, I did decide to make Tamale's. They are communal and in the facility kitchen for anyone who wants some.

[Derek, Rhodey]
Sorry to bring work to you so soon but um...the portal saw fit to change the entirety of the lab...everyone there is going to need new security. And yourselves.

[Science folks]
The portal saw fit to bring my entire home lab including the basement to the Facility. So don't worry if it's changed..you'll be getting new key cards ASAP

[Ray, Zari]
Uh. So, the entirety of STAR Labs is here.

[Nico]
I know we don't talk much, but something from home arrived I thought might suit you.

Anyone else feeling a bit...meh this holiday season? Attempting not to be a Grinch but feeling a little grinchy. Might be time for an aggressive Home Alone marathon.

[Science and science adjacent-for those he has authority over to their inboxes]
Paid two weeks off for the holidays. Unless there's an emergency, or you feel a deep desire to see the lab again. Enjoy vacation. Email me or call me if you need me, I'll still be reachable for whatever.

I know things are a bit weird, but for our Chanukkah celebrating folks I thought I might put out some feelers to see if anyone wants potato latkes? I'm not an expert, this would be a first. but maybe it'll help some of you feel included. We try to be inclusive here. Also open to just anyone who wants to try fried potato goodness.

Anyone else just scoop cranberry sauce out of the can with a spoon?

Just me?

Having an extended honeymoon in the time stream wasn't what I was expecting when RayRay and I set out on our trip, but it's been a really interesting experience, looking through the history of this universe. Some things are the same. Some things are wildly different.

Thena in Mesopatamia? Hot. I mean that respectfully, of course.

No luck with Jemma yet, but I feel like we've gotten close a few times.

Anyway, I miss you all. How are my lovelies? What have you been up to?

[Science and science adjacent folks-also visible to facility staff+Rhodey]
[ooc: if you're into science or have interacted with team science, consider yourself able to participate.]

Soo. I've been thinking of a way to track the red portals. All portals leave behind a sort of signature, even the reds. I've been hesitant to really delve into them because well...Been a bit gun-shy with anything HYDRA related. Considering what we're up against though I think it's necessary to at least aide in building something in regards to it to hopefully put an end to it. Portals are kind of a specialty. I can't get a lock on them with my powers alone, so we need to build something to do so. I'm going to need assistance from you all to get it done.

Fitz emailed me some notes about a device he's been making. Figure we could all lend a hand and finish the creation?

[Ben]
All this portal talk is kind of a lot.

[Derek]
Can I ask for a special request during the building of this device?

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)

It happened again.

I went through a red portal with Si and Stiles, but the portal home flickered through different colors and I was too far behind.

They didn't make it back. It's only me and the car.

I think they were sent back to their own worlds.

Might actually open that bottle of scotch Tony got us for my birthday.

..Please tell me you're still here?

Hi, all.

I've got some not so great news. The PONG alert system seems to be offline.

In the past two days, the following people have gone through the portal:

Scott Lang
Leonard McCoy
Eliot Spencer
Sara Lance
Barry Allen
Anna (of Arendale)

I'll try to stay on top of sending these out as I get word. Sorry to everyone who's lost someone.

We'll work on getting PONG up and running again as soon as we can.

Museums near new flat to visit:

- Metropolitan Museum of Art
* Temple of Dendur
* The little faience statue of Taweret!
* Mishneh Torah
* and everything else

- Brooklyn Museum
* The Mummy Chamber
* The Wilbour plaque
* Nespeqashuty's tomb relief
* and everything else

- Peabody Museum at Yale (in Connecticut which is not near new flat but I can still go there)
--> work out how to get there
* Egyptian magic artifacts sounds interesting!
* everything else (obviously)

- American Museum of Natural History
* Lucy!
* All the mesoamerican exhibits. The Sun Stone!
* Dinosaurs of course
* everything else

So this place is a bit mental, innit?

I'm Steven with a V oh wait everyone can read anyway oops. Hiya.

[OoC: Restarting these boys because I failboated very hard after they joined the game >.< ]

Normally this is the time I'd regroup, survey the troops, formulate plans to be better prepared for the next time something like this comes along. I'd be putting together training schedules and running scenarios, throwing myself into the work.

Haven't had much chance to do any of those things, I've been putting out fires from the comfort of my living room. Thankfully, telephones work here, too.

That being said, if anyone is willing to recount their version of the events, I'll be collecting personal stories for the official record.

Anyone in need of suit or weapons repairs can sign up below.

[Rhodey]
I'm sure Tony usually fixes your suit, but if you're still on site I can now look a little closer?

It's almost been a couple of days now. Can we all agree that was really fucked up?

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.

Can anyone else see the top of a jagged mountain in the middle of the woods? I wasn't sure if I was seeing things, if this is a new geological feature, or if the trees have started to shed leaves in such a way that Clark's fortress is visible?

[Leonard, Sara, Cisco]

Would you be my groomspeople? I should have asked much sooner, but with everything going on it slipped my mind.

[Sara]

Will you be my Best Woman? Please? Of everyone you know me the best and let's face it, only you can keep those two from sniping at each other on the day.

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.

The mushrooms in my yard are attracting small fairies. I thought they were fireflies. But fireflies aren't sassy as far as I'm aware.

( Everyone is Invited! )

_{(hand written note included with all delivered notices)}

No need to RSVP. If you've seen this on the net and/or gotten a paper version, I'm assuming your coming. Anyone needing overnight accommodations can drop a note to the network post. We have a block of rooms reserved.

See you there, assuming we're all back to normal by then!

I've got birds following me everywhere and singing to me. It's so great.

[Geralt/Ciri]

Hey, so, Dylan's birthday is tomorrow, and I want to try to do something for him like you might celebrate on the Continent. I should've asked weeks ago, but... life, y'know? Also, I'd ask Jaskier, but I think you two would have a better idea of the things Dyl would enjoy doing.

[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]

Well damn. Kara's gone home it looks like. You'd think I'd get used to that alert by now but it still sucks.

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

I just had a drip coffee with a shot of espresso, and they put cinnamon on top. It reminded me of CC Jitters back home. Suddenly, I was back in that cafe again.

Made me a little homesick. Funny, I've been here eighteen months, and I'm feeling homesick all of a sudden.

Thinking about taking a weekend trip out for some hiking and swimming, maybe with some company. Probably not a huge group if we're gonna camp comfortably, but it'd be great to rope in a few people.

Any recommendations? Vernooy Falls Trail comes highly praised, but if there are others, throw them my way.

[Bucky]
Lookin' at you. Sound like something Ellie might wanna do?

[Clint]
Hanging in there?

Okay, so the mood is understandably somber for obvious reasons, and I think we can all agree that no one wants fireworks nearby, but is anyone interested in trying to throw together a little Fourth of July picnic on the lawn at the Facility? Super low-key. Just a little food, a little music, maybe some lawn games and dancing. Anyone up for it?

Totally get it, if not.

[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.]

I can't get in. Portals aren't portaling.



[Science/Security -A voice post]

Two explosions. 14 minutes..Like it's broken. Pounding in my head every 14 minutes and 23 seconds.

I saw a green flash. Not sure if it's in my head or not.

it isn't stopping

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.

Is it cool for me to go to Pride?

I mean, I'm pretty sure I'm straight, so not in the rainbow. But I want to show support or solidarity, whichever is correct. Plus I go where Robin goes.

For anyone who might be celebrating Pride this weekend, please come by Medical for your very own bit of heartfelt handmade decor.

( Cut for Image )

I feel like I've been going nonstop for months. These red portals are a lot. I'm doing my best to be a good Science Team Intern, but sometimes I feel like dead weight I'm not making much of a difference.

I need to do something to turn my brain off. Video games? Anyone want to join me?

I woke up this morning, and Jest was gone.

Hi, Friends! I know I've been kind of quiet, and my timing is terrible and my bestie is still gone, but here's the deal:

I'm getting married! 🥰

Now, for those of you who are new or just haven't been paying attention, I've helped organize a lot of our community weddings—joyfully, wholeheartedly, 10/10 would do again—but now that it's my turn, I have no idea what to do!

(Okay, I do. But lbr here, fam, my list is waaaaay too long 😅)

So I talked to RayRay, and we'd love to get your ideas.

Where should we get married? 🤔

Happy Pride month y'all!

After a few trials and errors, I figured out a decent drink for trans pride.

Plus the usual rainbow shots and cocktails.

Had a bit of spare time and got to browsing...it's Pride month. I've never really done anything with that before, but it turns out entire cities have parades and festivals for it.

[Ben R]
Would you go with me to one of these? I think I'd like to see it.

It's probably too early to say anything, but it's about time we had some good news around here, so I'm saying it anyway.

I'm developing an early warning system for the red portals.

I don't expect it will entirely prevent disappearances, as the energy signatures appear to only become readable within minutes of the portal appearing. The ultimate goal is to alert anyone within proximity of an emerging portal in hopes that they can evade it. So far the sensors have a limited range and have proven unstable even under lab conditions, but I think I've found the right balance of power and sensitivity and am building a new prototype now. Once complete, I'll be testing around the Lighthouse for ease of monitoring, and then distributing from there given appropriate circumstances and materials/ability to replicate. I originally wanted to make portable censors but the

It's going to take some time, but we will get to the other side of this.

[Cisco and Henry]

I wouldn't mind a second and third pair of eyes on these new schematics before I use up the last of this steel-polysiliconate I made.

So much for going to get my best friend back. I'm so sorry, Bonnie.

From what I've been told, there is no way home so I'm going to try and make the best of it. Because that is what I do. I survive.

Hi, I'm Elena and I guess I am the new girl on the block.

Dammit.

I promise to try my best and stay as far away from the woods between New Asgard and the Avengers Facility as possible. So far I haven't had any pulls in that direction, which I suppose is a good thing. No one's died yet. Yet.

I will be hoping and praying, with all my toes and fingers crossed, that no one does.

If anyone wants to partner up for morning runs or other outdoor activities, given security's message yesterday, I'm available. Too bad I can't bring the shield along. Same goes for non-outdoor activities if you just want to keep busy. I'm thinking of taking up a new hobby.

( Clint and Dylan )
( Bucky )
( Thena )
( Maria )

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] )

Having a bit of a day. One that could just be over soon and I'd be fine with that.

[Ben R.]
Made you lunch, I know you guys are busy on holidays...might stop by for a minute?

[Magnus]
Our meeting got interrupted by red portals...was just wondering if you were still available sometime soon?

I should start up some kind of delivery business. Getting all your exotic goods in record time.

...maybe the slogan needs work.

That being said, I like feeling useful. If you've got something you want, I'll help you get it.

[Legends]
Wanted to check in and make sure we're good. Cisco didn't react well to my news and I got a little paranoid that you guys might be mad too.


[Other Arrowverse folks (minus Cisco)]
Not sure if you guys have seen this on the network or heard it elsewhere, but Leonard Snart and I got married a few weeks ago.


[Cisco]
I'm sorry.

Ben and I are home. Did we miss anything?
