NO EXITS

YES! MY SHOW HAS ARRIVED ON A DVD! I HAVE WATCHED IT TWICE ALREADY AND IT GETS BETTER EVERY TIME. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SHOW ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO SEE IT. LOKI! YOU ARE IN IT, BUT NOT EITHER OF YOU HERE, HE'S MY LOKI! WHO ELSE? FANDRAL! YOU REMEMBER HIM, RIGHT? THE ONLY PEOPLE I RECOGNIZE WHO ARE HERE THAT ARE ALSO IN MY SHOW ARE NEBULA AND ROCKET!

[OOC: Those who watch it... Thor will laugh heartily throughout, even in the scenes where he's getting punched by Carol Danvers. If you haven't seen it before, or need a refresher these videos are not the best as they are edited, skipping a lot, but you get the gist. One and Two]

Just as a general FYI, looks like the TVs and videos/DVDs aren't the only methods for this whole 'slice of life' thing. Comics/graphic novels are an option too.

[Private to Matt Murdock]

Hey, double D. I saw something about you and possible magic eyesight for the week. Did that happen? Because next question can go different ways depending on the answer to that.

[Private to 616 universe]

[ooc: I know I dropped the ball on Sam intro with Ben, so just handwave that info swap]

So, how's everyone doing? Anyone get some blasts from the past? No details needed, just curious.

And, uh, been meaning to ask, but then things keep popping up, I know that we're all from different points of time in our universe. And getting newer memories is a thing, so, how do we want to work with that? Figure out a newsletter update format? Just wave our hands and go 'eh, that's back home and not here'?
Ignore this all as overthinking the matter?

[Private to Ikol]

Have some space in your schedule for some video games?

Just because I refuse to take anything for granted around here as being fully normal: has anyone else seen the, uh. The dance... movie? With the - all right so I don't think I know your name, dancing man, but I do remember you from the pool party for what I feel are obvious fashion reasons so hello, I'm Vax, and I'd love to know more about this dance and why I'm suddenly able to watch it.

I also want to learn it, since it's a void week and we all need something to do right now. Who's in?

[ KATE, IKOL, AND PERCY ]
What do you say to making an evening out of drinking and stories? We can find somewhere quiet, build a campfire, raid the kitchens to see if there's anything worth toasting over said fire, purloin a bottle of something that nobody's going to miss, and see what comes up. It'll be like camping, only we've got questionably comfortable beds to go to once we're over it.

[ ONLY PERCY ]
Did I tell you I volunteered you for drinks and chatting with those two? Maybe I didn't, last week was a lot. Percival, I volunteered you for drinks and chatting with us. You know them, it's fine, you're welcome!

CLOSE FRIENDS* & FAMILY:

Just an informal check-in. Everyone good? Nothing weird or out of the ordinary? Nobody brought a dinosaur back with them, right?

anyone else have a migraine?

[*if your character thinks they’re a close friend then they are]

[KATE BISHOP]

Sylvie isn't No, don't be depressing You, me, and the stars for a Reset? I have a bag of M&M's in my pocket, since they reset each week. It's my most-guarded secret, so shh. I will share if you promise to not tell.

My sister is gone. We were going to hang out together, I was going to show her my goats. She was going to use her horn to summon Valkyries.

And we never did.

I never got to know her.

Motherfucking fucking fuck.

I died, only it turns out my phone was on my body. Took me two fucking days to get my shit back.

So, if there's someone you haven't heard from or isn't responding on the network, there's that.

Seriously, fuck the swamp.

Got a very Savage Land vibe going on here.

Never really did like the Savage Land.

Everyone okay? Anyone need help?

IKOL:

Marco?

[KATE]

Still you? In your own body? No extraneous voices in your head?

[LOKIS & THOR]

I am not about to ask if you're all good, but this is the occasional check-in for proof of life. I found my stash of candy if anyone would like to try to medicate the rest of the week with high fructose corn syrup and whatever nougat actually is.

Thor, hi. [...] We haven't spoken much. Welcome to the sibling filter. I am losing my touch Good to have you here. Stop already

Since so far it seems like we haven't been shoved into something new and exciting (I'm not inviting it, thank you so much whomever might be listening!), how would everyone feel about celebrating Stephen's triumph of pool renovation with a party a bit later in the week? We've been talking about keeping up morale and all, seems like this could be a good week for it.

[ HUGH & MALACHI ]

I sort of volunteered to coordinate this completely by accident and Stephen suggested I talk to you both about the particulars of organizing it so it's actually... you know. A good time for everyone? So you've been recruited, fortunately or not, unless you tell me to fuck off and sleep in the bed I somehow made.

Anyone have some true crime podcasts or shows on their phone and/or laptop? I'd offer you Tom Brown's Body and Supernatural but I only had the last few on my phone so that kind of defeats the purpose. You could still do the Supernatural ones. They're mostly one offs, but I only have the Bell Witch and and The Red Barn Murder.

Someone help me feed this obsession.

IKOL:

What exactly do you DO up there at the reset?

I have... Valkyries. This horn I found when we were looking for the ring conjures Valkyries. I could sense there was magic, but this is not what I thought it would do. Honestly, I don't know what I thought it would do — call horses? — but this was not it.

( An arrow is stuck to the door of WHEEL OF FORTUNE with a little bag attached, with a note that says FOR LOKI )

Everyone doing okay? No one stuck in a situation they need help with?

LOKI:

How's your head after all that booze as a unicorn?

SAM & BUCKY:

How much trouble you in yet?

( Read more... )

[After this occurs.]

[All of Matt's communication is voice-to-text]


Richie and I are heading out of the city tomorrow morning. Hope you end up finding those magic items you're looking for. We ought to be back by the end of the week.

We'll bring souvenirs.

[The Fellowshit Fellowship of the Ring]

So far searching out information on a ring like what Mobius described has given me an equal share of useless answers for every guess that it could be deep in the Ruins. Which, Vax, you will be happy to know moves up to top pick your suggestion that we go somewhere dark, dank, and dangerous.

Take the night and settle whatever you need to settle. Buy what you need to buy. Tomorrow we venture forth.

Hi everyone - just wanted to check in and see how you were all doing. Also see if anyone's in an adventuring kind of mood?

I've been listening around, doing some snooping for anything that may be relevant to our timeline research interests - and it seems like the merchants have a lot of info about various doo-dads that pique my curiosity. I don't have exact details but I've heard rumors about something called the Book of Time, basically a whole bunch of chronomancer knowledge and spells we want to get our hands on. If anyone would be up for tracking this book down, I think it'd really help us.

There's also a ring I heard rumblings about too - it's a ring that allows you to store spells in it to use at any point and since breaking the timeloop is going to require a combo of magic and science/tech (or at least that's been my guess, and the path we're currently on) we're going to need helpful supplies like that too.

[KATE BISHOP]

Hi, you. I am making an ~educated guess~ that this will reach you when you've woken up after the reset. My guess is that you will check the network because you remember what happened last week, where you woke up is unfamiliar, and it's habit (big same, no judgement).

Send me a message when you see this.

p.s. Lucky has been a very good boy.

So good news about those badges: if you were tagged, you are not automatically switching places with your Shitty Derleth counterpart next week.

Bad news about those badges: it's an all or nothing deal and I think a lot of us have already been tagged. If they tag all of us, next week we'll be waking up in Shitty Derleth.

More bad news about the badges: it's a homebrew spell that uses curse magic. I think they mixed magic from a few different worlds. But making it a curse means there's no way to dispell the magic or get rid of the badge before the reset.

Strange has come up with a way to detect if you've been tagged or not. Please see him and make sure you're not tagged. Don't assume. This is too important.

If your counterpart hasn't attempted to tag you yet, it's probably coming. We don't have Butler's wards to hide behind anymore. Protecting the untagged should probably be our biggest priority.

I've checked and I'm untagged. Anyone else?

FAMILY ASGARD:

I know it's been a whi
and I haven't
but I thought

Everyone alright? Anybody need anything?

Loki I heard about Kate
I know she

I'll be around if you do.

MOBIUS:

Where are you? I lost you in the shuffle. You didn't get tagged by your variant, did you?

First things first, if you can check in, please check in. I know there are people who want to hear from you. If you know someone is injured or, let us know here.

Secondly, if you're in good shape, I need help moving things around so we have places to rest tonight. I know it's not what we want to be dealing with, but it'll be dark before we know it. If you're willing and able, I will take all the help I can get.

First objective is to account for our people, get them to medical if need be. Second is to salvage what we can and make space in the classrooms.

ETA: Still working on some things, but do not let anyone give you the magical badge if you can help it. If we have magic users who can tell who is branded and who is not, that would be helpful.

MORE ETA: We need perimeter patrols. Volunteers?

MORE MORE ETA: At 8pm, we'll meet inside Armitage Hall for a meeting.

MAGIC USERS:

Do any of you know about magical tethering abilities?

[ASGARDIANS + NATASHA ROMANOFF]

I'm pretty sure the other Julia also has a Leo Blade, is shadeless, and she may also be getting a power up. I'm not saying she'll do anything, I just don't want there to be any surprises.

Cool party, bro.

IKOL:

Where WERE you? The other you was there, and let's just say he was doing magic.

Okay, who's tagged themselves? Let me know and I'll cross your name from the list. The results of the census spell for our side:

Malachi Allen Aziraphale Bucky Barnes Sydney Barrett Bill Batson Baymax Kate Bishop Tandy Bowen Sharon Carter Carver Rupert Chatwin Hugh Christian Ciri Caduceus Clay Lara Croft Rey

Orlin Dax Percy de Rolo The Doctor Elsa Fandral Fen Geralt Margo Hanson Alison Hargreeves Steve Harrington Jo Harvelle Eleven Takeshi Kovacs Loki Laufeyson Loki Laufeyson Sylvie Laufeydottir

Erik Lensherr Wanda Maximoff Mobius Laura Moon Matt Murdock Kady Orloff-Diaz Pikachu Peter Parker Alice Quinn Harley Quinn Ben Reilly Rocket Natasha Romanoff Kylo Ren John Silver River Song

Alina Starkov Ava Starr Timothy Stoker Stephen Strange Mad Sweeney Seventh Sister Thor Odinson Richie Tozier Vax'ildan Eliot Waugh Julia Wicker Joseph Wilson Rose Wilson Sam Wilson Sabine Wren Yennefer

[CADUCEUS CLAY + ALICE QUINN]

You're my plan B. What do you need to possess or move anyone that dies or refuses to tag their own?

[LOKI (EACH FILTERED SEPARATELY)]

I need help finding mine. Can't tell if she's avoiding me, but locator spell isn't working.

I'm sure plenty have already figured this out, but just as an FYI to the rest, if your plan includes sneaking undetected into your counterpart's sleeping quarters (or anyone's really), you're shit out of luck. They look to be well warded against anyone who isn't the room's owner. You can still be let into the room by its owner, but otherwise no go.

[Ikol]

So what's more fun? Wandering on your own lonesome or playing twenty questions for some interesting information? Spoiler: it's definitely bigger than a breadbox.

( Read more... )

[Private to Ikol]

I need to ask you a question about your universe. And please don't be an asshole about it, I've had enough of my world's Loki

CADUCEUS CLAY:

I have a bit of a favor to ask. Do you have a moment?

IKOL:

Have you spoken to Sylvie since she went through Julia's memories?

[JULIA]

That spell you shared with me. I presume you were hoping to refine it so that it's a little less slather-self-in-carcass? If not to last longer? I was looking it over the other night, but the suggestions I have vary with priorities.

[SYLVIE]

How are you holding up?

Okay, I've gotta ask. Who got the copy of You've Got Mail that does not end the way I remember? Meg Ryan definitely didn't murder Tom Hanks for stalking in the version I saw.

LOKIS + FANDRAL:

I know this Thor. Sort of. A few weeks ago, I gained a second set of memories. The world was just the same up until the time of Ultron. Ultron managed to get a hold of the nuclear codes and destroyed the whole planet. Only Clint and I were left, trying to stop him.

Someone called the Watcher pulled a bunch of them together as a team, then sent them to my dead universe. Ultimately, he was stopped, but not without some unpleasant consequences.

If you need anything, please don't hesitate.

LOKI MCU:

Goes triple for you.

STEPHEN STRANGE:

Looks like the news is out about both of us. Kind of.

STEVIE UNIVERSE:

Pretty impressive fighting back there with the wampas. What happened?

[LOKIS, FANDRAL, MOBIUS, NATASHA]

Lokis, you know why you're included on this. Fandral, also self-apparent. Mobius, unsure of your history with Thor, but won't second guess it. Natasha, I saw indication you may know this particular Thor.

So. Thor. [...] Who wants to speak with him alone first?

WATCHER! YOU HAVE SENT ME TO THE WRONG PLACE!

No matter. Is this Jotunheim? Hello? Is anybody out there? I would like to return to Earth.

Not that this really affects anyone, but should anyone be curious where the four-legged furnace went, he remained with Janet. There is a scorch mark in the main vestibule that will remain in honor of his weeks of terror spent in Derleth.

Secondarily, yes I realize my appearance is off. We don't need to discuss that.

Cheers.
