Multiverse of Madness

A little poll...if you could live forever at a price, would you?

Terribly cliché question, I'm aware, but I've been picking up my penthouse since that earthquake and I could use some entertainment.

[ Deleted ] Or a distraction. Everyone I try to get close to here disappears back through that damn portal. I should have been more prepared for this.

I got distracted tonight watching documentaries about dinosaurs. Like a five year old. Dinosaurs are really cool. It's pretty late, and I'm pretty tired, but I thought I'd share my love for dinosaurs.

Now I want to go to the Museum of Natural History.

Is there a shooting range available here for anyone to use?


[Private to Ben]
I hate having the briefcase in our apartment, but I don't know where would be safer to keep it. Promise me you'll stay away from it though.


[Private to Yelena]
How's your hand?

[Encrypted: John, Yelena, Valentina]

I found something, going in to check it out. Underneath the foundation of one of the residences destroyed. It's a research archives. Extensive. Looks to be Hydra.

Not sure what I should be looking for. It's a lot.

A whip…no idea how that fit in an egg, but plenty of ideas what I’ll use it for.

A mystery jigsaw puzzle...it came in a plastic bag but I have nothing better to do so - why not? Smells a little funky.

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.

Where's a guy gotta go to get a decent canelé around here?

Hiring anyone who could help fix my kitchen island while I wait for the new one to come in a few weeks from now. Prior skills dealing with marble would be a bonus, and it'll be paid, of course.

( I decided to try renting out my apartment in Manhattan to balance my domestic losses in the recent market crash, and let's just say my tenants went a little crazy... )

Anyone have a used coat they no longer want? Don't really care about the style. Just warm.

[John]
Do we have any plans for Thanksgiving? I saw some posts here talking about it... some big gathering?

[Yelena]
How is Fannie? I've been worried about the good girl. Considering eating a whole bunch and hibernating myself.

Normally I wouldn't post something so personal. Not that others have respected my privacy much. But this morning I found this in a frame by my bed.

My parents, Elihas and Catherine Starr. It was so long ago. I've never even seen this photograph before.

I've had to suffer their loss alone for so long, being the only one to remember or miss them at all. That my father's legacy has been so tarnished, his life work discredited. They were good and loving parents and I wanted to share that. I just want other people to know.

I guess I just wish I had more to remember them by.

( [John] )

Who put up a Christmas tree in the hallway already? I almost ruined my Louboutins stepping on a glass bulb.

[ Ava, John Walker ]
Ignore that.
It's my favorite holiday, I was just running out of things to complain about.

Anyway, I need to speak to you both in private. Now.

I don't even know where to begin with whatever the hell is happening here.



If there was ever a cosmic God playing a joke - this is it. Thrust four years into the future in the middle of a breakout my release? A thriving company until a mysterious stock crash less than a month ago?

I can't decided if I'd rather be back at Seagate or not...something tells me the food was better.

I won't even start on who's running this place. Forgive and forget?

Well, you certainly know how to make a woman feel welcome here. That Halloween Masquerade reminded me of some of the grand balls I've attended in my life. Though with significantly more creative costumes.

I've been told that I'm to thank a Pepper Potts-Stark. I must congratulate you on a job well done.

Since I'm going to be here for an undetermined amount of time, I suppose I should introduce myself. My name is Regina Mills. Formally, it's Queen Regina Mills, though I don't think my title is going to have much use here. This isn't my first time going to another land, though this is the first time going to one that isn't connected to my own.

[Filtered To Magic Users]

Apparently, my arrival at the ball the other night set off several magical radars. I'm sorry to have disturbed anyone. I sensed quite a bit of magical energy coming from various people there, as well. It would seem that there is quite the collection of different times of magic here. Do you have any sort of organization? Has there been any working together to try and see if there's some magical explanation for all of this?

I've also come to realize that there's a good number of budding magic users here. I can certainly offer my expertise in any training you might need, as well.

If I had a dime for every time a man couldn't take a hint, I would've tripled my family fortune by now. (General statement after my latest venture into the city, no offense to anyone here.)

[ Yelena, John Walker, Hope, Dr. Pym ]
I'm throwing Ava a little surprise birthday party at my penthouse in Upper Manhattan {Encrypted Address} at 6pm this evening. You're all more than welcome to attend!

( Cut for Uncharacteristic Swearing )

To those who lost someone in the latest batch, I'm so sorry. I can't even imagine.

( More Language (this time about the Stock Market!) )

It's only Wednesday and a good friend is gone, along with all my investments.

[ SHIELD ]
If anyone needs anything at all with Fury's absence, don't hesitate to loop me in.

[ Ava & Yelena ]
Not as much traction from the crash here as I was hoping. We might need a new approach. Did either of you hear anyone complaining in the hallways?

[ John Walker ]
I need to speak to you about the portal. Can you meet me in the city?

Need recommendations or recipes. Have approximately 99.5 apples. Not sure what to do with them all.

[John]
Got a break? There's something I want to talk to you about.

[Valentina]
How long are you going to be out tonight?

[Yelena]
I got a toy for Fanny. It's a lizard. Stuffed one. Less gross.

If anyone sees me heading to New Asgard with swimming gear after October 7th, and before spring, please dissuade me from completing that journey.

[John Walker]
I’m really sorry about this. Hopefully I’ll be able to work by mid-week. Nothing’s broken, just a bruised bone, which apparently is a thing that can happen and will take a couple of months to fully heal, so I can’t run an assault course any time soon.

[Marcus]
I’m okay and I’m not vanished. I’d like you and Clint to get to know each other. We should do dinner or drinks or both soon.

[Clint]
Thank you. For being an awesome pillow and boyfriend. I’ve asked Marcus if we can all get together soon. Not necessarily to discuss secret teams, but if it comes up then that’s cool too.

Could someone go to my house and collect some clothes for me and bring them to the residence of Sharon Carter? I wish to stay here with her as she is in no condition to be alone.

I think I could get used to this....I thought staying put would drive me insane, but it's not so bad.

I think I'm getting [a little bit better.] Race to finish a scarf before the first snow.

[John]
When do you have a break from securing the almighty portal?

[Valentina]
What do you know about masquerades?

[Hope & Pym]
Can I stop by the lab? Won't drop anything this time, promise.

From Ghoulies and Ghosties
And Long-Leggedy Beasties
And Things that go bump in the night,
Good Lord, deliver us...

[Sharon]

And speaking of Things that go bump in the night...

Welcome back, Powerbroker. 🙃

I finally have my Data Pad back, thank you, Cath, for delivering it (and the cookies). I'm staying in Medical in the Avengers Facility for a few more days for observation. It's a long story. As soon as Martha clears me, I'll head back to New Asgard to recover.

Early Friday morning I disappeared from my bed. I spent time in the other timeline, and was then spit back through the portal. It's been a very, very long time. I'm very, very glad to be back.

Hear me out. Custard and ice cream.

steve's gone

Celebrations are in order, I think. It has been six weeks, and my cast comes off on Monday! Who will celebrate with me?

So, a little something I like to do from time to time is to check in on the local happenings in the City. Imagine my surprise when I came across a couple of familiar faces in the local media coverage, who apparently were caught up in a bit of a hubbub at a climate change rally a week ago today!

( Spoiler Alert! It's Ava and Karli. )

Really admire the global-conscious spirit, ladies. 😉

[SharShar]

How's Madripoor?

I'm making smoothies in the kitchen.

First come first serve until I get tired of doing it.

The worst part of all this is that it is technically better than what I left. Really undercuts the desire to complain. Anyway is there anything technically stopping me from moving away, or are we required to stay in this vicinity? Because I doubt I'm missing out on much or that my presence specifically is needed for whatever you all have going on. For one, I don't care about baseball or lost and returned billionaires.

[Walker]
I may have a gift for you. Promise I didn't steal it.

[Hope]
Got a bit of an odd request. If you aren't busy.

As most of you know it's Halloween at the end of next month and instead of just throwing on whatever movie I happen to think of at the time I'm planning ahead. I already have a massive list of options so I don't really need recommendations, but I could use a hand narrowing it all down and scheduling it so I don't have a whole week of gory shit in a row or anything. I'm aiming for a mix of genres here.

[T'Challa]
I've recently come into possession of a set of body armor from around about 2024 in our original timeline, and I have reason to suspect it might contain some form of vibranium. Is that something you'd be able to tell by having a look at it, or would Shuri be better to ask? And if it did would you want it back? Or would it depend on how it got there?

Either way I'd appreciate discretion for reasons that will be immediately obvious when(/if) you see it.

( $$ OOC Reward: Val's got access to her bank account $$ )

How much would I have to bribe pay someone to get my own private bathroom?
The whole 3rd floor of the facility doesn't need to wait on my hair and makeup routine, trust me.

[Yelena]
Cute dog! I'm right across the hall.
I have your first check and an assignment.

[Dylan]
I missed the game, but Team Danvers winning means I'm officially $40 richer.
And it's going right in the bank.

Got a long list of people saying we should meet/chat/whatever, so why don't I just make things easier.

I'm going to be in Central Park on Friday, all day, at Umpire Rock. Meet me there or don't. Up to you.

(ooc: Activity Reward)

[Valentina]

My suit was in my closet this morning, did you get it somehow?

So, no Thanos.

No Snap.

And the world's still a dumpster fire.

Sounds about right, unless I'm missing something?

What's your go-to solution, for when you can't get any sleep?

[John Walker]
Thanks again for the help the other day with the furniture, and not questioning it too much. Why I was removing it. It feels a bit easier, settling in now. When I have less to worry about.

... Anyway there's this bbq happening I think. Was going to make some grilled cheese. Want to go?

[Dr. Pym & Hope]
Sorry to break up what I'm sure is a touching reunion. We should discuss the matter of resources. I came through with nothing. Not even my suit, as it has been in... custody. What are we working with, and what do I need to obtain for us to move forward?

[Melina]
You mentioned already knowing some about me. Can I ask your insight on somebody else?

Valentina. Do you know of her? I am uncertain of her intentions, and I am not... looking to be played a fool. I've had many offers for my talents, to know that those that usually seek them aren't the types to trust.

[Valentina]
Still thinking about it, if you're wondering. Won't say no to more pastry bribery in the meantime.

I want to let everyone know that today is a very important day.

Everyone join me in wishing Jemma Simmons a very happy birthday!

Be sure to tell her at the baseball game when you see her and the adorable little girl with pom-poms cheering everyone on!

...has anyone seen Scott? Scott Lang? We had breakfast this morning, and we were supposed to meet up later, and...

So, what's a gal got to do for a good latte around here?

I just saw the guy in the room across from me drinking out of an entire coffee pot.

Anyone taking bets on the baseball game?

[Marcus]
Would you be interested in helping run the logistics for an off the books avengers type team?

When I was told a few months ago that things were about to get weird - a lot of different scenarios ran through my head but whatever this is - was not one of them.

My name is John Walker. I have nearly twenty years of military experience.

I've got the basic rundown and I'm willing to offer my assistance wherever it's needed.

Well this is all very dramatic. Feel like everyone would have learned better by now than to go poking at things they don't understand.

If you know who I am, there's no need for introduction. If you don't, keep it that way.

Here's a meme to lighten the mood:

It's come to my attention some people might be feeling as if they need a job to do around here. It so happens that 'around here' is a big place and we could use the hands. Particularly when it comes to some concerns regarding things outside Earth's atmosphere. If anyone's looking for something to do, let me know.

[Carol Danvers]
I know you're a proverbial one woman team, but before you go off to kick butt and take names, I thought we might discuss the Kree again. This time it's not about how they'd be a good cover story though.

Tag dump, please ignore
