Multiverse of Madness

I should have let Tiamut take this world.

I am pleased to say that New Asgard is recovering from the recent strangeness that plagued our community. The damage sustained from the dragon attack all but disappeared completely after the battle. And though the people are shaken, they are strong.

That being said, if I can offer any assistance to anyone in need, please let me know.

The irony of what just happened doesn't escape me...

(Something Icarus Something)

Still not sure what clipped me when I was out flying just now, but I saw a really vague shadow on the water just before it happened. Please excuse the rather sizeable dent in the beach. I promise to fill it back in once my ears stop ringing.

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.

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.

While it's definitely not as fancy as what we have in my time, this portal tech of yours is pretty impressive.

My name is Kelly Grayson. I'm a First Officer in the Planetary Union in my world. I'm no stranger to the time traveling thing, but the world hopping is a new one for me.

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? 🤔

[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.

Not him.

Well, besides the assurances I'm safe, I must admit this is an entirely new experience, something I didn't expect to have.

Hello all.

Well fuck.

[After unsuccessfully attempting to teleport home three times]
Well. Fuck.

.nus der eht deen I

[Translating….]

I need the red sun.

I thought we were free in New Asgard, but the red portals have started showing up here.

[Margo]
You busy tonight?

I have been wrestling with this decision for a few days now, and I don’t know if it’ll be any help, my sharing this.

But in my universe we saw a red light engulf worlds right before they were erased entirely from existence. It was an antimatter wave. I do hope that these portals are not a forerunner to the wave arriving in this world. Though when Tony disappeared during the summer of 2018, it did sound as if something similar could be lurking out there, between universes.

I was with Evan and a red light burst in their apartment. They're gone. I don't--I wasn't fast enough to-

Any news on this thing? What it is, what's causing it??

sorry

I don't know what else to say except thanks... And I'm sorry for everything.

[Arrowverse, Facility Staff, Hargreeves Fam]

There are huge amounts of Portal activity in Sokovia. Plus seismic spikes. Some of the portal energy signatures track with those of Cisco's creation.

The Waverider and ATOM are continuing to monitor and hopefully can pinpoint an exact location.

Is an extraction plan in progress?

It's been a while...so from the Science Lab Files:

For the newbies and the interested, a few months ago we discovered that our worlds still exist in some form in this world. I was able to uncover two specifically. Mine, known ironically as Arrowverse I can hear your smugness from here Oliver and Umbrella Academy. We are currently delving further into the existence of other worlds. If ours are out there..yours may be as well.

There's still work to be done to get us there, and I've been invited to a two-day conference happening this weekend that sounds promising in that regard. It's a general presentation on space itself as we know it. I'll be less reachable for a couple days. If anyone has questions for him, I can take those as well. Feel free to post them here.

Henry is the point person if I can't answer right away, I'll be back on Saturday.

[Ben]
And I'll miss you. ♥ First time being apart in a while . D: since the statue showed up Will you be okay?

As much as I love October and Halloween, randomly seeing my dad is a whirlwhind of emotions. I miss him and I'm mad at him for not being here and I'm mad at the people who took him from us. It sucks.

Setting up the projector for the mass Halloween movies I'm waiting on Barry to pick for everyones use. :p Hurry up friend, make your list. Pressures on.

...But maybe don't do what I did and decide to listen to them while monitoring the portal from a security camera..Ringu has a whole new feel now.

[Security and Clint+ super secret hero type team]
Pointed the satellites in the direction of that location..there's nothing there.

His device pings right off the Adriatic sea

[and a text to Ben]
So. Do you realize it's been a full year together now?

Must be something in the water around here because I had a vision I was getting married.

Couldn't see who my bride was, but the dress was nice.

Anyone up for some range time?

Guess the portal thought I was having too good of a time here. I'd like to speak to it's manager and make a return.

So..I was thinking of hosting a dinner or something if people are into it? And dates that people are available are also helpful.


[ooc note: If you're some kinda arrowverse consider yourself invited)

Holy Toledo, Batman. We're not in National City anymore.

Hi, I'm Kara Danvers. Longtime resident, journalist, and protector of National City. I was having game night with my family moments ago and now... well... here I am. Catco was in the middle of airing a pretty significant interview between our CEO Cat Grant and myself.

In a nutshell, for a long time I was trying to live two separate lives. My social life and my super secret Super life. I took a big leap revealing my identity to the world because Cat Grant is too good with persuasion, so I might as well continue on that train. I'm also known as Supergirl. I have super powers, including super strength, speed, hearing. I can fly. There's a lot more, but I'll leave it at that for now.

I'm always happy to lend a hand, so if I'm needed anywhere specific, I'm your girl.

I was wondering if someone could please let me know where my protocol droid may be able to plug in for recharging, and if there are maintenance areas available for him to receive oil baths and the like.


ETA: [Private to J'onn J'onzz]

I thought you'd want to know. I have a friend here who told me how the war I mentioned to you went. We lost horribly.

I really missed space.

This is nice.

I've never heard of this planet before. What system is it in?

I forgot how unusual artificial gravity felt. Not having been aboard a spacecraft or station in over a year. Travelling sub light takes forever, so I expect we’ll be away for most of the month.

Karli, I hope Krypto is behaving himself. I think his cricket ball is under the couch in my place. If you were looking for it.

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

I have a gift from the Portal. It... is something I had thought lost. I am not sure how to react to its sudden appearance.

[ooc: Cath's April Activity Reward!]

I managed to arrive on the day you guys get slapped with another sanction. In full vigilante gear no less. My gut reaction is to head to a bar, so this club mentioned in the literature... any good?

I imagine it would be in very poor form to send T'Challa an "I told you so" message.

It's so quiet around here. It's eerie. I can't wait to get them back

[Security]
So far as I can tell, nothing unusual is happening in or around the Facility. I've been running sweeps every hour or so, adding the Wakandan Consulate and the Lighthouse to my patrols. Everything seems clear, nothing unusual to report.

Threshold will be officially (finally) open for normal business hours on Wednesday. There's some fliers floating around with all the info, but I thought it couldn't hurt to mention it here.

In other news, your favorite bartender will be better dressed than ever, because I woke up to clothes piled on every surface of my room. The portal giveth and the portal taketh away?

In other other news, I need a bigger closet.

[OOC: This is Eliot's February activity reward/]

Soo... I have no concept of the value of... dollars? but I have some! What should I do with it???

HI WOW! I just have to say that I’m really impressed. When I got here and they told me I was in the 21st Century, I was just a bit concerned. Like, I know humanity was advanced enough to develop the warp drive and the theory of alternative realities already exists, but still it’s only 2019. I wasn’t expecting this! It’s great!

AND YOU STILL HAVE BOOKS RIGHT? I looooove books! We don’t really have any where I come from. Well we have books but on screens not with paper. It so nice to just feel it and to flip pages you know? My friend Michael had a copy of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

Anyway, this is all really confusing because I actually was supposed to be going to the future. It’s a long story, but basically we were trying save the known universe by getting preventing a super computer from taking over our really advanced ship.

But it is weird that I’m here and not with my crew. Is anyone here from the USS Discovery? You know, reach out if you are! Or if you’re with Starfleet! Officers, Petty officers, cadets, or lower decks it doesn’t matter! I don’t discriminate!

I guess the one good thing about this is my Mother can’t call me if I’m in the past.

Oh which, by the way, I know this really nifty datapad says my name is Sylvia Tilly, but you can just call me Tilly. My parents are the only ones that call me Sylvia. It’s kind of a Starfleet thing; we mostly just go with surnames. Though I call Michael by her first name... that’s weird now that I think about it. Or I called her Commander. That makes more sense. I mean maybe if I was dating someone they’d call me Sylvia? THAT has not happened in a long time though. Sorry that’s probably too personal.

Okay, I wrote a lot of things. I'm just going to stop here and post this. Also, how does food work here? I could really go for some ice cream.

About this club I keep hearing about that sometimes is open and sometimes is not.

If you're the one holding the keys, I'd like to talk.





Did I mention I mix a mean drink and have recently procured a minimal stash thanks to a bit of cash^* I found under my mattress. Thanks whoever had my room last! Party in my room until I can't squeeze anyone else, and then we beg Q for his!



[*OOC: Moola from January activity rewards]

I apologize for not doing this sooner..we ran an experiment last week if I remember right to try to figure out what was going on and where we were at with the other worlds that are still remaining out in our neck of the multiverse.

That is what caused the Earth Quake, so again..sorry for the disturbance. I was a bit.. Indisposed and unable to warn anyone. Anyway, results of said experiment are as followed.

Coordinates can confirm that still exist belonging to those of us who were sent here are:
[a string of numbers followed by some complex name]Umbrella Academy. The Earth your world is on still exists.
[A third string of numbers]My homeworld, which is apparently logged by the name Earth-1, Arrowverse located. arrowverse though..why did it have to

That doesn't mean your worlds aren't there as far as I can tell it's just..I can't do this again. I'll have to find another way. I'm not sure how but
[Ray]
It's still there. It's okay..We found it.

Please forgive my redundant greetings, but at least I will do so from my own communication device rather than one recovered in a collapsing building. If you did not see the message sent from Dick Grayson's device, allow me to reintroduce myself. I am Kaldur'ahm of Atlantis, formerly the unwitting puppet of the shadow group you call HYDRA.

If I can be of any assistance while I am here, please let me know.

How is it only Wednesday?...Feels like it should be next week already. Lots of work to be done still. Doing some research in the labs regarding the other worlds. The ones that we come from. And the ones of those on this timeline that may be from others.

I have some information to share that may be of interest. Your world may still exist, based on Tony's last portal experiment and what we learned from that and also the recent rogue portal activity. I don't think all our home worlds are disappearing but we don't know which ones are so more study needs to be put behind this-and thats what We've been looking into. All our worlds haven't been forgotten. We're looking for everyone's, not just any one specific. My theory is we're on another timeline and they are in fact out there on a different one. And will report back on findings when I have anything new to share.


[Darcy]
There is something I want to try.

Do people normally get envelopes full of cash left in their shoes? It wasn't even on my desk. But in my shoe? Like some belated St. Nicholas offering? the envelope had my name on it, and nearly a thousand dollars inside. Is this some kind of trick?

[ooc: this is Barry's December Activity Reward]

So. I've arrived in a new world? Not the first time this has happened.

For those who aren't familiar with international relations, there are very good reasons why the Avengers cannot just walk into Russian territory on a rescue mission. US-Russian relations have been poor since the aftermath of WWII seventy years ago. They may have fought on the same side, but Russia - the Soviet Union at the time was on the front lines fighting in terrible conditions while the US didn't get involved until Pearl Harbour was bombed in 1941. The US lost half a million people. Russia lost nine million in the military and an estimated total of over 25 million when civilians are accounted for. After the war was a period of time called the Cold War, where there was no direct fighting but heavy conflict in political and economical fronts and a great deal of propaganda on both sides that still has massive cultural impact.

The last twenty or thirty years have only made things worse as NATO, which was formed in the late 40s as a collective defense agreement, expanded rapidly into the former-Soviet states of Eastern Europe. That led to US involvement in multiple regional conflicts and was viewed by the Russians as a way to limit their attempts to regain sovereignty over territories that were lost when the Soviet Union dissolved and both countries placed sanctions against each other in 2014. Just this year the US and Russia have been on opposing sides of the Syrian civil war.

To make matters worse, there have been incidents where humanitarian aid has been used as a cover for political operations. Mostly in the Middle East and parts of Africa, but the suspicion created when it does happen spreads easily. It would be very, very simple for Western powers to use rapid mobilisation of superheroes to leave a few agents behind in Russian territory, and that will occur to them. Not everyone will necessarily be happy to see us, especially once the Russian military arrives and I can't say for certain whether Wakandan paperwork would be of any help, especially among those who only speak English and clearly aren't from Africa.

[J'onn]
Have you gotten in touch with T'Challa yet?

You know, I'd be more amused if I didn't have a kingdom to run back home.

I'm Arthur Curry, and it looks like I'm going to be stuck here awhile. I heard there's a place near the ocean I can stay, New Asgard? That's definitely preferred to living in an apartment.

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.
