Multiverse of Madness

Dylan and I are back. In Medical, but everything's fine. Just precautionary.

[Jace and Magnus]

We ran into people who knew you.

[Roy Mustang]
Feeling up to some target practice, Sir?

I'll be staying in my old room at the Facility until we get a handle on this Red Portal business.

If anyone needs me, call my office. It's set to forward phone calls to my cell.

I see the hearts, chocolates, candies and all things pink and cute have flooded the shops again. I'm feeling more like a Valentines Grinch every day.

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.

[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.

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

Oh. This is not ...Russeau's.

Or New Orleans.

Which I've already been told by security, but I felt it bared repeating.

Hello?

Shopping for the perfect gift on December 23rd feels like a life-or-death experience. Now, I know why I didn't miss this part of the holiday season.

[Roy Mustang]
Would you like to exchange gifts, Sir?

Anybody else hoping for snow for Christmas? Or is it just Krypto and I?

[Karli]

The decorations you gave me last year look lovely on the tree. If you’d like to join us for Christmas dinner, you and Rogue are more than welcome.

The portal hangar looks really festive. The Christmas elf who decorated Medical must have taken a trip down here too.

Thank you, whoever you are. Though I don’t think you’ll get all of security dressed in the costumes you’ve provided.

Is it too early to start discussing Thanksgiving plans?

[Roy Mustang]
He’s not here, is he? You haven’t seen him? My father? Tell me you haven’t seen him.

Guess I have too many ghosts in my past that they're arguing over who's going to visit me first. Haven't had a single spook or apparition haunt me yet. Bit disappointed, really.

Tell me there is a library of some sort here before I lose my mind with boredom? Boredom is scarier than supposed eyes on me. I fully intend to stay in the portal room, in spite of what is happening. I will not be driven away by some invisible thing. Something to drown them out would be appreciated.

Pumpkins are everywhere. They're impossible to avoid now.

There will be no pumpkin at Sally's. My apologies if that is your cup of tea.

On the other hand, I have made a series of apple flavored fall beverages and treats which are available in the month of October. Apple flavors blend wonderfully witn cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, caramel, and vanilla.

Please do come and visit to see what we have available in the pastry case. Our pastries change daily.

..So, what's a guy supposed to do now that the only thing he's ever known is the military?

Who wants to go out for a drink tonight?

I need to get out and do something fun.

Well then... So we're here. No getting back apparently.

...Now what?

Tag dump, please ignore
