Multiverse of Madness

A woman came into the bakery today for breakfast and a cup of coffee. Normally, I do not see so many people so perky so early in the morning. She seemed quite thrilled to be in Sally's.

While this pleases me so, I could do without the singing. It was quite off key.

I was happy to have my lab here, but the portal saw fit to take half my staff. Now I'm not sure anymore. Should anyone have interest in science, It's..quite large and has plenty of space.

If you placed an order for baked goods through Sally's, your order will be prepared before 10am tomorrow morning. Plenty of time to get your pies to your parties and dinners. Please reach out if you need to schedule an earlier pickup.

If anyone is interested in making a purchase, we have plenty of pies, cakes, cookies, and other pastry items available. We've got anything that you might want for your Thanksgiving celebrations. Come by and see us at Sally's.

Having an extended honeymoon in the time stream wasn't what I was expecting when RayRay and I set out on our trip, but it's been a really interesting experience, looking through the history of this universe. Some things are the same. Some things are wildly different.

Thena in Mesopatamia? Hot. I mean that respectfully, of course.

No luck with Jemma yet, but I feel like we've gotten close a few times.

Anyway, I miss you all. How are my lovelies? What have you been up to?

I don't care if it is before Thanksgiving, my Christmas tree is up!

But I need to decorate the rest of the place too.

I have a hypothesis about something. I don't know how plausible or batshit it might be, but I'm going to suggest it anyhow. You're being a nerd I know there's other stuff going on, and this is nothing to do with Thanos's stones or the red portals or Time-skipping, so I'm sorry about that. I just. It might be important? I don't know.

I don't know.

( Hypothesis and proof(?) )

The mirrors are not kind to me. I am not a conqueror, nor do I seek power. I hope he cannot break through from the mirror world.

[Steven Grant]
I have found a stack of books about Egypt, Archaeology and other interesting things. They have your name in them.

Buckle in, folks, this is going to be a long one. I'll try to tl;dr where I can.

( GAME PLOT )

If you have questions, I'll do my best to answer, but a lot of this is in technical-ese and I didn't take that elective in high school. Sorry! (not sorry)

With great relief, the house is no longer a Haunted Gingerdead House. However, it is already starting to self decorate for Halloween. Stiles, this is your chance to get in there and make your own additions to the decorating.

The Halloween party in the summer didn't work out, but now it would be fun to actually plan for Halloween (and my birthday). Especially since I'm alive - again -...

I do not like dragons.

That is all.

Carry on.

I am so incredibly relieved that my bakery is no longer made out of biscuits.

We are open for our normal hours, if anyone is in need of any food or treats.

I have "fall spice" lattes, cookies, and spiced bread.

Still no change with Eliot, I'm afraid. Thanks for keeping the bookshop open and running. (You know who you are.) I'm trying to keep up with my emails, re: the shop, but some days are better than others.

There's got to be an end to this. A happy end.

The beanstalk is gone… does that mean things might be going back to normal?

[Friends]

Are we thinking Courtney’s possessed?

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.

Can anyone else see the top of a jagged mountain in the middle of the woods? I wasn't sure if I was seeing things, if this is a new geological feature, or if the trees have started to shed leaves in such a way that Clark's fortress is visible?

[Leonard, Sara, Cisco]

Would you be my groomspeople? I should have asked much sooner, but with everything going on it slipped my mind.

[Sara]

Will you be my Best Woman? Please? Of everyone you know me the best and let's face it, only you can keep those two from sniping at each other on the day.

Guess I should say hi. I've been here a few days now and Steve filled me in on the whole alternate universe thing and how I've been here a bunch of times and never stayed long. Apparently I'm from an earlier point in the timeline though and I have no memories of being here before so I apologize to anyone who knew me previously.

Glad to hear you all managed to stop Thanos in this universe. The past couple of years have been rough at home.

I did not think it was possible to have too much gingerbread, but apparently I have reached my limit.

( Everyone is Invited! )

_{(hand written note included with all delivered notices)}

No need to RSVP. If you've seen this on the net and/or gotten a paper version, I'm assuming your coming. Anyone needing overnight accommodations can drop a note to the network post. We have a block of rooms reserved.

See you there, assuming we're all back to normal by then!

So in addition to people still disappearing into red portals, we have people who are forgetting who they are or getting mixed up in unusual tales?

Are those things related in any way?

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.

I came home from work and has anyone seen Morpheus?

He's not answering and I'm kind of freaking out.

[Alice]
I might need drinks. Stat.

So... there are six Terminator movies?!

The first one was only just released when I'm from.

In the grand scheme of things, this seems like a grain of sand.

But the pollen count is high and if anyone is struggling, we have plenty of antihistamines down at medical.

Never fear, everyone.

We've had enough trauma for the last few days. I won't blow anything up or suck anyone into a nightmare dimension.

I'm also not leaving my room for a fortnight, so jot that down.

Okay, so the mood is understandably somber for obvious reasons, and I think we can all agree that no one wants fireworks nearby, but is anyone interested in trying to throw together a little Fourth of July picnic on the lawn at the Facility? Super low-key. Just a little food, a little music, maybe some lawn games and dancing. Anyone up for it?

Totally get it, if not.

I woke up this morning, and Jest was gone.

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? 🤔

So much for going to get my best friend back. I'm so sorry, Bonnie.

From what I've been told, there is no way home so I'm going to try and make the best of it. Because that is what I do. I survive.

Hi, I'm Elena and I guess I am the new girl on the block.

I mean, I will certainly take this over the Prison World, but...

I kind of wanted to get back home.

Dammit.

I'm not allowed to visit the woods any more, everyone's saying it's dangerous now. Why? What's in there? Some kind of animal?

I certainly need more practice in artistry. While I can make delightful recipes, my skill with a piping bag and paintbrush needs improvement. I saw this wonderful recipe online (which is absolutely the most amazing tool when it comes to gathering new ideas for treats for my shop)... but when I attempted, they came out...

Well, I'm not sure I can put them up for sale without deep embarrassment.

The flavors are nice, though. So if you're interested in a free cookie, swing by. So long as you promise to be kind about my art skills.

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

I can't say I am excited to be here. That little portal detour put me in a rather sour mood and it didn't even have the decency to take my hookah along for the ride. How rude.

I don't suppose there is a rather large rabbit hole I could fall down around here.

All the same, I suppose I should at least introduce myself. The name is Morpheus. I'd say it is a pleasure, but, well, as I said, I am not all that excited to be here. And I despise venturing into the human world.

I can't say I understand what's happened to me, or much of what I've been told. I find this place strange yet oddly familiar in a way.

My name is Inej, and have only just arrived here. I don't know what else to say. that I'm willing to share

Not him.

[Translating]

I was in New Asgard. A portal, red light, but not red sunlight. It took two of the youngsters, Sabrina and Steve.

Fire doesn’t work to incapacitate the portals.

Still no Nico of Karolina Going for a drive, will be mostly out of contact for the day. just need to clear my head of Will be available by tonight.

[Poe]
intending to be home tonight.

Sorry for worrying people.
I took a detour to my own world on the way back from my red portal adventure.

[Derek, Stiles, Steve]
It is super late, or early, so I found an empty room here at the facility to hopefully get some sleep. See you in the morning?

I really do like my job as a bartender.

I'm just questioning the young man who garnished his G&T with yellow Peeps.

Cath and I are back, though I suspect that all of New Asgard has noticed already, given the atmosphere at Sally's. What felt like merely a few days through the portal was, instead, over two months gone from here, which is... more than a little disconcerting.

I've been doing a lot of dusting at home, trying to get it looking back into shape again. It was wintertime, when we left, and now spring is all but assured.

One isn't like the other. It's curious yet concerning.

My husband, Sam and Bucky vanished last night from Threshold via a red portal.

Clint is still gone.

Our portal is blue. The one that took me to the Continent was gold. So this is some new fucking nightmare.

All Saints. I'm dead, right? That guy told me I'm not, but this is definitely where a soul goes.

Anyone want to babysit a robot tonight?

If anyone's looking for me I'll... well I'll just be back later.

Me, when I woke up this morning: Put on finishing touches to fake my death.

Me, a few hours later: Jump down the rabbit hole. Regain teenaged body forever. Go to start my new forever...

And find myself here instead.

Hi. I'm Alyssa.

Monday is the day! We've got such a short amount of time left. I am very much looking forward to the wedding, to the reception, and to celebrating with all of you. I hope that you will be able to make it!

I can promise that the food at the reception will be exceptional. ;)

We've been back for a few days, but we haven't made our announcement yet: while on vacation, Magnus and I got married. It was a bit of a sudden decision, all with Magnus quickly but carefully planning and we couldn't be happier.

[Jace, Izzy, Simon]

So, I'm worried. Magnus isn't sleeping again. He was completely fine while we were away, but the dreams have come back.

So I've been racking my brain, trying to figure out what I coulda said or done to make my contractor take off in the middle of her consultation. Thought we were getting along like a house on fire, but she went out in the hall to take a call, and now she's not returning my texts and her phone goes straight to voicemail. This kinda sucks.
