Multiverse of Madness

Could use a sparring partner. Any takers? Powers or no powers, don't really care.

It snows a lot on Alderaan in the winter time and it's really fun to build things. It's so pretty. It's just cold here, and wet. Is it going to snow?

We celebrate Winter's Heart when the winter season comes.

So, I'd say "I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore," but I've always sympathized with the Wicked Witch more than Dorothy.

Also, I'm not from Kansas.

So, hello! I'm Sabrina. The really cute portal guard told me that I was here before, and I left my house behind. Anyone want to help me out finding it? And is my bedroom still free?

I feel like a cowpie in the meadow. A very, very government-controlled meadow.

I'm bored. How do you not just go 疯狂的 on this planet?

In case you haven't already met him, this is Goose. He's a friendly furball, but please be careful around him. He is not a cat!

Goose is a Flerken. He's not from Earth and can ruin your day if you make him mad.

I'm leaving some of his favorite cat treats in the kitchen. If he looks irritated, just give him those. If he asks for pets, I suggest you do it.

[Fury]

We should meet face to face. Talk about what we both know.

Anyone play cards round here?

THEY CRY. THEY STAND AND STAND AND YOU DON'T HEAR THE SCREAMS.

THE PHANTOMS WALK IN YOUR SHOES AND MOCK THE SMILES.

Unseen again! War stories in the wind.

(ooc: as a note ALL of River's replies are voice posts)

More than two centuries ago, there were some colonies of England that rebelled, and they won. So they brought together all their brightest minds, and had a great debate lasting over a year, and put together a government and legal system based on many of the same principles as England.

After ten years, they were all willing to admit that the first version wasn't as good as they'd thought it would be, so they did it all again. After they came up with a Bill of Rights, they finally managed to get everyone to join their union. (The rest is history.)

Do you know this story? Do you like this story? Does it represent something important to you? Do you come from somewhere else, and have other stories to care about, or not care about?

All my life I have heard many stories about my country, and I have mixed feelings about them.

[Stark, Steve, Thor, Natasha, Bruce, Barton, Sam, Vision, Darcy, Pepper, and Wanda (added later)]

Thanos is dead. Fury helped confirm it.

According to Fury and what we're seeing all signs point to some other version of Wanda.

We're bringing back some debris to analyze and additional readings. Fury better provides what he knows as well since he's finally decided to come out and play.

I don't know Wanda as well as some of you. I'm not sure how she'll handle this, so it might be a good idea to break it to her gently. That's why I'm only including who I am on this filter. Hopefully, you guys can figure out who gets to tell her.

It's probably also a good idea to keep this under wraps until we know how. Everyone on the ship is aware, but I'm swearing them to keep tight-lipped until you all decide what to do. I think it's really up to Wanda if we need this to go public. I read about Lagos. If the governments of the world find out Wanda has the power to completely eradicate one of the more powerful beings in the universe from existence, I don't think they'll take it lightly.

For the record, I'm not happy about any of this.

[K. Bacon Crew]

Thanks for your help out there. Sorry, the mission didn't go as smoothly as it could have, but we made a good team.

Remember what we talked about and please don't tell anyone about Wanda's connection to this until you hear differently.

[Wanda]

I've heard you were already updated on this. For the record, I didn't want to hide anything from you, I just wanted someone to break it to you more gently. This is something that is urgent- I trust Fury will keep his secrecy, but if this gets out I want to protect you and everyone else.

[The Team who went into space]

You can stop your efforts to find Thanos. He's been confirmed dead.

Full discloser: I've been planning a trip to finally get to the bottom of the Thanos situation. So far, those going consists of Malcolm Reynolds crew, Monica, Valkyrie, and Rogers.

I know there might be others interested in getting to the bottom of this, but it's probably a good idea to keep it small. We'll be doing some salvaging as well to take back pieces to analyze.

Frankly, I know we're all tired of wondering and waiting. If he's out there, I'll find him. And if he's not, we're going to find out what happened.

[Loki]

The Collector expressed an interest in going home. We're taking him along. I have assurance from Nova Corps they'll be looking after him on Knowhere while we're sorting this mess out.

Well Shiny! Guess I get a vacation.....but I still better get paid.

We’re heading back.

Everyone is accounted for and alive.

( Update )

Okay, so let me get this straight. You've got people from the past and future all living together in this year. Not to mention you've got people from multiple different timelines to boot. Variants, just running around.

I mean, it's okay, it's okay. Just, you know, grappling with learning everything I used to think was how things worked is a lie. But that's okay. This is all perfectly fine. Normal even. Who even knows what normal is anymore?!

...

LOKI! What the hell did you and your little girlfriend do?!

Okay, I think I’m gettin’ the hang of this place, but I gotta ask: is it normal to just have people get up and fly around? Or...aliens? Has that been a thing here for awhile? And what’s with the guy with the portals? Like, how?

I don’t trust

I can’t be the only one freaking out.about this, right? Just a little?

While the technology on this planet is surprisingly backward, Google is a very useful tool.

[Filtered To Quill And Mantis]

Quill, despite what you told me about it being "impossible to locate one person out of seven billion", a five minute internet search was able to help me locate your grandfather's address.

Apparently, he and your grandmother are still living in the same home that they had when you were younger. According to this "Facebook", they appear to be in excellent health.

Now. When would be a good time to visit them? Should we call ahead? Given their advanced age, I wouldn't want to shock them too much.

And no, Quill, once again, you have no say in this. We're going to see your grandparents.

Though we should maybe convince Drax that he needs to wear a shirt when we go.

[Away from Command ie: Tony, Strange, Carol, T'Challa, Loki, et cetera]

When I previously referred to our situation as a War - this is what I meant. Waking up every few weeks and having a list of names to look at. Let me just say from experience, however difficult this is for us - there's a special pain for our leaders. Not worse, because trauma isn't a contest. Just real, and unique, and heartbreaking. So for those of you who can, please reach out to people like Tony, Stephen, Carol, and the like. They'll never ask for help, because they're good leaders. But they still need it...

Since apparently we are actually making this an official thing now.

A note from Medical:
While medical is here to treat your wounds and your illnesses, we would request that everyone please refrain from stabbing, shooting, bludgeoning or otherwise harming one another intentionally in such a way that it requires the intervention of medical staff. We understand accidents, we understand that sometimes fights happen. Even training accidents can be understood, but other such injuries are to be avoided if at all possible. Thank you.

[Simon, Christine]
I cannot believe I actually just had to post this. But given what actually happened, yeah. It's needed.

Does anyone else find it suspicious the government didn’t come crashing down our door after the Mind Stone thing?

Planning a trip into the city this weekend. It’s been awhile since I’ve had a break. Anyone want to come with?

[Rhodey]

Any updates from command? I got nothing when I tried to check in. I left a message I’ll be leaving Earth for a short time. I suspected them to be more concerned about that.

[Firefly Crew]

I think it’s time to up the game plan. I’m suspecting Tony’s up to something space related, but he’s been keeping it hush on what it is. I don’t plan on poking around too much, the guy’s been on the edge for the past few weeks.

That said, we need to figure out what happened to Thanos one way or another. That means we’re leaving soon, preferably next week. I’m not sure how long we’ll be gone, but I trust Mail can come up with a timeframe for when we’ll depart.

Just be ready. I’ll brief you and answer any questions you have here.

[Monica]

Have you talked to your mom recently?

I gave Mal the heads up about putting together the next mission. We are probably leaving next week. Do you think you can be ready by then?

[Thor]

Just checking in with you. How are you holding up?

So, since my first post got off to a bang, I've decided to keep the ball rolling!

Tell me all about your favorite foods from back home, whether you're a transplant or not. Maybe we can start getting some pot luck ideas together or a cook book.

I'll start.

My mom and dad used to make us this amazing Baingan Bharta for Eid. I loved the smoky flavors and the way the spices danced across my tongue. It made all the fasting totally worth it!

( [Sam Wilson] )

..Well I ain't seen a protein bar since I got here so one point Earth-that Was I guess.

It's supersoldier objectification appreciation hour.



Who's hotter, Steve Rogers or James Barnes?


[ooc: strikeouts are ic and can be read]


ETA:
Finished all my work for the day so I'm gonna call it here with a tie. Today's lesson is people have different tastes, who knew?

Check in.

I knew there would be repercussions. I only hope everyone is as safe as can be at the moment. I am with Wanda.

[Thor]

Please answer if you can.

[Avengers]

I agreed to the contract. I read it a few times and the biggest red flag is that they want to call me in if something happens on a galactic level. I generally don't mind that because protecting the United States aligns with protecting Earth.

But, I'm also not going to do anything that will harm anyone down here.

Overall, it seems like a fair deal. As far as we're going to get, anyway.


[Monica]

Just checking in. How are you doing? Also, how would you feel about a trip into space?

[Bruce Wayne]

Hey Kid,

It's been a crazy week. You hanging in there?

[Peter Quill and Mal Reynolds]

You boys have time to talk later this week?

Ain't so chuffed about being pulled outta the 'black and told I been set down on the Earth-That-Was when it weren't just leftovers. But, I don't think I've see a city that's quite like this, it's so pretty. Oh, and this data pad is some shiny piece of tech.

The nice lady showing me round said there might be folk from my world here too and best I start looking on this network. Anyways, I'm Kaylee Frye, nice to meet ya, and if folk've got some kinda advice for getting settled in 'round here I ain't been told, let me know.

I see you've all met my crew. Least some of em. Name's Captain Mal Reynolds. Can't say I ever expected to be on Earth-That-Was. Things just can't go smooth like apparently. Apologies for bleeding on your shiny floor, Stark.

Tag dump, please ignore
