Multiverse of Madness

We wanted to wait until Clint and Dylan's nuptials were fully celebrated before announcing this.

Daisy Johnson, the love of my life and only woman that would put up with me, has agreed to become my wife. At some point, in the future. One day. We don't have specific plans but wanted to share our engagement with all of our friends and colleagues here.

I keep remembering things that haven't happened. Maybe it's time I went to medical about this.

Have you had any weird dreams lately?

I had the strangest vision. I was on a rooftop with Clint Barton--this world's Clint Barton--and Kate Bishop--this world's Kate Bishop. It was just a flash. I think there was someone else there.

It was not a dream, but this definitely did not happen in my memory. Was there Portal energy or activity?

[plot!]

Soo...

...I chickened out when we went on our date. There was something else.

For those of you who don't know, Sally's doesn't have much (any) pumpkin on the menu. When it comes to other fall flavors, though, I make sure that we have plenty of them readily available for all of our customers.

Though, this year I'd like to try something new. Please comment below with your vote as to which of the following flavors I should focus on this fall:

apple, cinnamon, salted caramel, maple, chai, sage, pear, brown butter, ginger, bourbon

Or if you have other suggestions of classic fall flavors, please let me know about them, too!

Anyone who's experienced time fluctuations in the last forty-eight hours, please let me know if you're willing to be subjected to a few non-invasive tests over at the Lighthouse labs. I'm testing a theory.

I have several flavors of cupcakes to try, and am looking for taste testers.

( Details under cut )

I just lost three hours walking down a hallway. I can't wait for these time anomalies to go away.

So, you want to go out with me tonight? For a proper date?

Where are you and what are you doing right now?

This is... I have battled my way across the Nine Realms, but.... but a long island has not been on the list. I am the Lady Sif of Asgard.

Apologies to the Midgardian I punched, this doesn't appear to be quite the combat situation I had thought.

[Thor/Loki]

Shall I report to the palace? Is there a palace?

I never thought I'd be put in this position again, choosing between living life with you all or signing the Accords.

I can't sign. More to the point, I won't. Which means I probably need to find another place to live and fast. Unlike a lot of the new people here I'm likely to be recognised as being Stark-adjacent, at the very least.

If any of you know of a safe house I can lay low in, I'd appreciate the intel. It must be dog friendly.

You know where to find me and I'll always show up if you need me.

I just saw the security message about a new ruling from the UN about forcing "enhanced individuals" to sign the Sokovia Accords.

I know I'm new here, but...Whiskey Tango Foxtrot! Since when can the UN issue "rulings" that are enforceable in the USA? I thought (based on a few minutes of Googling, and IANAL) signing the Accords was optional?

Anyone know any good lawyers? That work cheap? Because I'm kinda broke just now.

Or any good tailors, ditto? I guess if I'm gonna continue flying around, I'm gonna need a mask. Maybe a costume? And a name to answer to other than my own.

Please be advised of the attached ruling by the U.N. in regards to powered individuals.

The too long, didn't read version is this:

If you're caught by any media using your abilities in such a way that can lead back to your real identity, you'll be required to sign and abide by the Sokovia Accords. This is non-negotiable, especially after what happened with Tony Stark last month.

I'm sure some very smart people are doing their best to get this repealed, but until then, lay low. Or wear a goddamn mask.

Hey, don't know if you saw the glitch on the network? So, yeah, glitch on the network, which is your wheelhouse, not mine. FRIDAY's had a look, can't find anything, so I suggested maybe you could take a pass at it?

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.

_{(OOC: Please pretend this was posted earlier in the day, maybe about mid-morning)}

I'm starting to feel like medical is cursed. Is that a thing here?

Daisy
It's been too long. Wanna take me to dinner?

Woke up at my terminal. I don't remember falling asleep here. Either I need more coffee or an early bedtime.

There's just so much work to do.

[Private to Kaylee]
Hey. You okay?

Please be particularly careful if you're touching the plants that have been growing.

It seems that the thorns have some kind of anesthetizing effect that we don't quite understand yet. One of our number, Jemma, was pricked by one and has been unconscious since the incident.

For those that know her, she is currently under observation and we are conducting tests to work out what's going on with her.

Again, please be careful and if you suspect someone has been effected, let us know.

I've never felt so relieved to have a building reappear.

...another sentence that I never imagined writing. Funny how many of those exist on this network.

Has anyone been able to raise the Lighthouse? I've been in the lab all day and was about to head over, but I can't seem to reach anyone. @Leo Fitz @Daisy Johnson @Henry Foss @Ray Palmer Are you about?

Am I doing this right? I hope so.

Hi! 😰 I'm Usagi.

I just realised it's my 21st in a month. That's a weird feeling. In some ways it's almost like I've been grown up since I was about thirteen.

She's being cute. She looks like toasted marshmallows today.

After everything that has gone on, I am not surprised that I've ended up here. Because why not?

[John Walker]

Hey boss, so this isn't something I'd usually ask for, but would it be possible to get some time off in the next week? My kid brother, who I'm legal guardian to, is going through something and he needs a time out away from here. He's sixteen so shouldn't be going anywhere alone. I know this is short notice, so I completely understand if it isn't possible.

[Babs]

Tim needs time away from here. Not sure if I can get leave to go with him. Would you be able to? I don't want him to go AWOL again.

[21+ Friends]

So, I need to get shitfaced, no questions are being taken at this time.

I'm still grappling with the fact that Fitz is gone. It's been almost 24 hours, and I don't know how I'm going to tell our daughter. I'm sorry I didn't say anything sooner.

I got a button. It doesn't say not to press it and I really want to press it but I'm not sure if I'm willing to risk it. Should I do it?

Anyone else get a racy gift in their golden egg?

I'm not sure if I should be thankful or offended that I got a vibrator.

Guess who's bike showed up? I am so stoked! Merry Christmas to me.

[Private to Derek[

Thanks for the gifts man. I totes appreciate it.

[Privates to Stiles and Kate]

I think we should have that talk.

I've never listened to so much Motorhead in my life.

Two points:

1) Yes, I've heard the new cowboy song. It's catchy.

2) Hit me up with your favourite Christmas movies. And it's a really tough call but I think I'm going to have to pre-emptively rule out Christmas horror movies, because there's a lot of good ones that really inflate the list and we just had a month of horror movies in October.

Thanks to everyone who came to my birthday party after Thanksgiving. Sorry it's taken me so long to give you a shout-out. Great party. Lots of unicorns and rainbows.

Having a birthday so close to other big, Fall/Wintertime holidays means that sometimes it gets eaten up by the excitement of the season, or that it is often combined with other holidays.

It meant a lot to me to have a separate celebration.

This will be my first Christmas without my mom....not really sure how to handle that.

I currently hate everything, so there are cookies in the kitchen. (Sorry to step on your turf, Cath)

( Cut for )

( a stupid amount of cookies )

I'm Sara Lance, Captain of the Waverider. Got the explanation and ran into the human version of the AI of my ship which, surprisingly isn't the strangest thing I've ever experienced.

Heard some of my crew might be around and figured I'd say hi to everyone else.

Please tell me there's booze.

Ms. Tarazi, Dr. Palmer, it is I: Gideon. Captain Lance and I would very much appreciate your assistance.

Mr. Ramon, Ms. Zor-El, Mr. J'onzz: it is wonderful to see you all again.

I can't believe I didn't realise they were still making Pokemon games. I thought the Pikachu merchandise I'd seen was just nostalgia or something but apparently new games came out a few days ago. I am absolutely playing this, oh my god.

Thanksgiving is definitely in the air. While I find the history of the holiday to be problematic, I do enjoy a big meal with family and friends.

[Individual PMs to Friends] (If you think you are one, then you got one!)
What are your plans for the holiday?

I made the mistake(?) of telling a young friend that my birthday is the day after Thanksiving, and now we're making plans to throw some of my Robot contest winnings at a birthday party. And I may have told this young friend that she gets to plan everything. So... it's most likely going to be themed sparkles and unicorns.

Anyway, I'm looking for a location and am hoping that people might attend.

I entered one of my robots into a contest, and the little bugger won.

After taxes and fees, the prize money comes out to almost a thousand dollars. I want to do something nice for the community, for the facility.

Any ideas what I can spend it on that would make people happy?

[ooc: this is October's Bonus activity reward! ^_^]

Who is going to the halloween party? I need a last minute costume idea.

You know when you wait too long to eat something, and then your stomach is like I NEED FOOD NOW but nothing seems appetizing, or everything takes too much work?? Is it just me?

I'll be in the kitchen hating myself for not eating things at all today and staring blankly into the cupboards, wishing food would just jump straight into my mouth.

The stars were particularly beautiful last night.

[Zari]
The Waverider is here. Gideon contacted me last night via ATOM when they arrived. She's in the hangar at the moment, cloaked. But I'm going to ask Daisy if I can park her at the Lighthouse. I don't want too many people with access and that portal hangar is fairly busy.

[Daisy]
My ship from home arrived last night, I don't particularly want her to live at the facility. There's too many people in and out of that hangar. Could I house her at the Lighthouse? I might move out to my lab there permanently too, if that's okay?

[Hawkguy, Daisy - Encrypted]
So the comms equipment has been taken care of. We've got an off-site supplier selling to a shell inside a shell inside a shell inside a shell of a company that looks like a manufacturer of kid's electronic toys. Best way to not pull any red flags: Buy in bulk. Equipment wise, we're gonna need to see what people need in the training phase, but that's doable.

What else was on the list?

As it happens it looks like I've got a few restless Bats on my hands, so the timing of all this finalizing is almost too perfect.
