Multiverse of Madness

Don’t forget!

New Year’s Eve at Threshold

I’ve been reading the James Bond collection, and was inspired to throw the kind of soirée 007 might attend in the line of duty. Lots of champagne and rose water, to pop corks at midnight, music and entertainment, plus plenty of cocktails and canapés. Under 21 will need a wristband, but there will be lots of nonalcoholic options.

[Simon and Dick]
Can I ask for you help with the entertainment? I’m not expecting you to work the whole night, but perhaps a few songs nearer the beginning of the evening and a dance or two?

With both Eliot and Magnus gone, the future of Threshold is kind of up in the air. All of Eliot's wards are also gone, so everyone can get into everything now. Management is currently being maintained by someone from Stark's entertainment division (I had no idea that was a thing until recently, but it's a thing), but I'm sure Eliot and Magnus would have loved it if it was being handled by one of our own.

tl;dr: Anyone have any interest in running a nightclub?

Can't say I fancy being the one to point it out, but I can't be the only one who's noticed the mirrors in the woods, right?

I'd love it if someone just admitted it was a weird art installation for the season.

Strange how it feels as though a switch is flipped in mid-September, and pumpkin spice and Halloween hit the shops like a fire hose.

At least there are good movies this time of year.

You know those wolves howling makes the forest seem extra spooky now. Too bad it isn't October, they would have made a decent addition to whatever spookfest will be/is being/has been planned.

I'm just about getting used to having a tiny girlfriend, its kinda nice having Izzy in my pocket or on my shoulder at all times. She's saved me from making bad decisions a few times already.

All of this is starting to give me Seelie Court flashbacks, and I'm not having a good time.

Okay, whoever said the red portals had calmed down and gone quiet seriously needs to stop tempting fate.

In the absence of certain individuals in our community, it has come to my attention that Threshold has not opened for business this week. I found myself in desire of a delicious cocktail I did not make myself and was unable to obtain it on familiar ground, which is obviously troubling for more reason than one.

I have a key (thank you, Jace anonymous benefactor) and have breached the wards and would like to at least keep some weekend hours while its owner is away. However, bartending for crowds is not my favorite, and I did not have a husband and a five-year-old the last time I was running a club. Anyone else looking for some work-like distraction from current circumstances, please apply here.

Alternately, if you want to quickly figure out how to get back our missing people, I'll take that instead.

Thinking about taking a weekend trip out for some hiking and swimming, maybe with some company. Probably not a huge group if we're gonna camp comfortably, but it'd be great to rope in a few people.

Any recommendations? Vernooy Falls Trail comes highly praised, but if there are others, throw them my way.

[Bucky]
Lookin' at you. Sound like something Ellie might wanna do?

[Clint]
Hanging in there?

I'm back, again. Missed my birthday and see I am being called upon to get this beach shindig sorted.

So, fun day on Rainbow Beach, Saturday, noon until sundown, bbq and some friendly competition. Bring your plus ones and your pets, all ages.

Don't travel on your own, if you need a buddy drop a message and we'll all go together.

Okay, so remember how I had a really polar opposite reaction to coming here than the general vibe of the rest of the net at the time? (go back and read, it's pretty funny)

I'm about to do that again just a few days after my anniversary!

It's weird to be jealous of the red portal people, just strictly speaking as someone who hasn't gone through a single one, buuuuuuut...

Oliver got pulled into another one outside of Sally's, along with that newer lady—Alex, I think is her name?

Anyway, Vaya Con Red Portal, Ollie. You better tell me about your adventures! And YOU OWE US A BEACH EVENT, SIR.

tl;dr—Oliver Queen and Alex Stern got Red Portaled

Okay! So! I feel like it's now my personal mission to inform you all of random days and celebrations throughout the year.

Today is Independent Bookstore Day! So go out and find an independent bookstore and buy a book! Support the little person. Any recommendations for independent bookstores are most welcome.

It's also World Wish Day. International Dance Day. World Veterinary Day. International Astronomy Day. National Go Birding Day. National Zipper Day. And, the one that I think is my favorite, Save the Frogs Day.

I'm back. Ray's not. I watched John disappear right in front of me.

I need to break something that no one will miss.

How is it only a month away from May already?

Simon, you realise we'll have been here a year on May 1? That's wild.

Feels like I should try and organise another distraction for folks. Any requests? It's still a little early for beach volleyball.

A Red Portal Event has been detected for:

Who's got two thumbs, kicked ass and got his ass kicked in Gotham, only to come back to find a majority of his friends and his entire husband g o n e?

If you answered me, then ding-ding-ding, you get to be insufferable about it.

Who wants to go day drinking once I shake Medical's watchful eye?

Took the dog for a walk and saw a portal. One of the red ones. It didn't get me (obviously) but it was a close call.

Twitch and I are okay. We're back at home now.

So, apparently we're fostering two droids and a robot, @Mortuary Fam. I found BB-8, D-O, and PONG on my way home from New Asgard this morning, and after trying a few hundred times to reach Tim or Poe, I've reached the super fun conclusion that the guys have NOT shacked up in the optimal Love Shack variety, and have, in point of fact, been Red Portal-napped.

tl;dr - Tim and Poe have gone the way of the red portal. (I'm pretty sure.)

Did anyone see them this morning? I don't know when they may have been taken.

When we post on here is it accessible to people not on our network then? Like the general public?

I always assumed this was a private network. Oops.

[Wally]
Think we need to give Peter Three the shovel talk on Kaldur’s behalf?

Red used to be one of my favorite colors. I'm not so sure anymore.

[Shadowhunters]

With all these portals sending people who knows where, remember the rule. Whatever the number that goes in. That number comes back out. Got it?

[Science]
Bucky's vibranium arm came back, via a very small red portal on the third floor. Do you guys want to scan it or something?

[Security]
I can cover Dylan's shifts if needed. Also, a red portal spat out Bucky's missing arm.

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.

I have less than a month to plan the most epic New Year's Eve party possible.

Anyone have suggestions or requests?


[Private to Eliot & Quentin]
Don't worry, I'll make sure you two can sneak off somewhere to kiss at midnight.

I was sorry to see Scott McCall's name on the PONG alert. He was very kind when Fannie was having her puppies.

Uhm, I’m on Portal guard duty and I think something weird keeps happening?

The blue glow keeps getting brighter and flickers for a couple of seconds. But nothing comes through. It’s done it five times in the last couple of hours.

Is that normal energy vortex behaviour?

Hey everyone! Come join the gang at the Facility for a horror movie marathon this weekend to celebrate Halloween. We'll go super traditional on Saturday, and then a little more contemporary (and sometimes funny) on Sunday.

Hereditary (2018)

And we'll pick up with any fan favorites on Monday. Feel free to comment below with your vote!

Can confirm that the monsters? Demons? Whatevers? go poof as soon as you touch them with your bare hands.

I got a succubus, so she was pretty pissed by this revelation if her potty mouth as she vanished was anything to go by.

So we've moved on from future flashes to ghost visitations and creepy atmospheres?

Are we sure someone isn't messing with us, someone who has a real thing for Halloween?

Maybe your magic stones are glitching?

[Arrow Bro]

A little Black and Blue bird told me you had a top secret side team, which operated under the radar, so to speak. As luck would have it, my building from home showed up here just down the block from the consulate. Lots of empty space for training rooms, an underground garage and a clocktower Arrow's nest.

Mi casa es su casa. If you want to use it.

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?

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

...Now what?

Flu shots have been ordered for the middle of the month. Anyone without enhanced healing, metabolism or resilience should come get one.

This is a very germ ridden century.

Clinic times to follow. Please bear with us as we continue to work around a huge absence from our team.

( Posted to the Network and on Quite a Few Doors (and a few are Delivered by Lucky) )

Is it just me, or has it been awfully quiet around here for at least a week or two? I'm getting that "calm before the storm" feeling.

Hey

Want to come to dinner on Friday with a bunch of people from my universe?

Okay, so... giant battle in New York with aliens and stuff? That definitely didn't happen in my world. ...well, not like that, anyway. We certainly had our fair share of alien battles. But man.

The Avengers in this world are pretty cool, ngl. It was legit a little weird to go back in time and watch it all play out? But worth it.

i've spent almost an hour trying to figure out this device. it's so different from pen and paper. i'm told i'll get used to it over time.

hello. i am lilliandil of narnia. wife of king caspian x. mother to rilian. daughter of ramandu.

i promise i am much better at punctuation than this.

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.

Is it weird that it's only been two days, and I already miss Bantha milk?

So I get the feeling we all need a distraction. Maybe to stop from worrying about our space cadets, or maybe to hit pause on freaking out about all the inadvertent time escapades. Or just take a break from the lab/computer/bureaucracy we’re entrenched in.

The weather’s decent and the beach is right there at New Asgard. I’m thinking a friendly volleyball tourney. Kenny Loggins soundtrack optional but strongly encouraged.

Seems my enhanced speed isn't a match for these time abnormalities.

There's not much else I can do on that front. I'll be in the lab crunching data though I'm not sure what good it'll do.

I'm going to assume I had fun last night at Clint's party, but to be honest, I think I'm the victim of one the time anomalies going around.

The whole evening keeps coming to me in fits and starts, but I'm not really clear on the sequence of events. What I really want to know is...

Did I really lose a bet and give someone a lap dance?

om* om* om*

I just woke up to find all my music gear here!!!! My room is a mess, but I don't care!

I should probably ask if there's a soundproof space so I don't annoy my neighbors. Sorry, neighbors.

But this means I can play gigs again!!

There's no way I can go to sleep again, and there's still half the day left. Oops.

But I still don't care, because muuuusiiiic!!!!!!

I think the portal has a thing against archers. Or the route between range and kitchen is just jinxed. Like Clint, it just took me five hours to travel between the two. Kind of loathed to leave the range now I'm finally here, even if my coffee is ice cold.

How does one find a job here, if the employ they once had no longer exists?

I was a Court Joker to the King of Hearts. No such King exists here, nor any other monarch to serve. Prior to being the Court Joker, I only knew life to be in war, and I have no desire to return to such things.

But I am certain I do not want to eat Cath out of house and home (what a delightful turn of phrase), so it seems I should find an income of some means.

Ughh.

I’m awake. Why did it hurt? Why did I drink pitchers…?

I taste delicious though.

Well, I remembered to wear my mask when I went flying yesterday. Cisco’s work is very good. Not that anyone would have seen me.

[Sharon Carter]
Karli is in medical. She was shot. I only just got to her in time.

She said her cover wasn’t blown and it wasn’t her fault. The blame is entirely yours for sending her there.

I got my bow. It's absolutely fantastic, and I can't wait to get into the range and hit targets with this.

If anyone needs me, I'll be at the range. Like, for a long time. Maybe forever.

( x-posted from IG @ 6pm )

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?

This is the single coolest thing to EVER happen to me.
