NO EXITS

Did anyone else shapeshift today? Because I look like I should be hanging out with crickets and Stevie is a cat. And on that thought...do we have cat food? I'm going to need cat food. And maybe someone with opposable thumbs to open the cat food.

Or do you think people who've been turned into cats can have regular food?

BILLY:

This could be nothing. And it may not have anything to do with you. But I know your super-self has a lightning bolt on his leotard shirt and I found a videocassette with a bunch lightning bolts drawn on it. It says … Shazam. Is that right? That looks spelled wrong. Does that mean anything to you?

The ammo I used on the dinosaurs is back. Does this mean I have a never ending supply? Cool.

My name is Vigilante, and yes the helmet stays on at all times to protect my secret identity.

WE'RE BACK IN BUSINESS!

Don't mind me, I'm just going to do a few hundred laps. I've missed you, superspeed.

And don't worry! I'll be paying attention so there'll be no accidental collisions.

When I'm done, though, I'm thinking it's time to break into the last of the New York reserves. There's probably enough frozen hoagie bread to make a few decent approximations of Philly cheesesteaks. We're going to need to stock back up on cheez-whiz whenever the next opportunity rears its head.

FILTER TO STEVIE

Hey, you want to play a game tonight? Maybe steal one of the board games from the library and pull out candy? We can invite people, if you want, but I just figured it'd be nice?

Did you enjoy the camping life last week?

FILTER TO LOKI

We're supposed to do something fun, remember. Is that still in the cards?

Oh my god I never thought I'd be so thrilled to wake up in a room with a tiny bed, no electricity, and a roommate.

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

Do we think there is any audiobooks in the library? I've not tried one before but [...] it seems like the smart thing to do right now.

I have a potential theory. But before I can determine its practicality, can you tell me exactly what you've managed to do with your TemPad both in and out of the Void since you arrived?

Also can we talk abo

STEVIE & BILLY:

I didn't see you two crazy kids at the dance party. Everything good?

You know, I don't think I ever said hi. Hi! I'm Peter. Is that is Am I supposed to say more I think there was a me here before, but I don't remember being that me, which is either some part of the Derlethian Effect or there's some temporal distortion when people come and go? Which I don't expect anyone to answer. Just thinking out loud.

Hey SO anything we bring onto campus sticks around, right...?

UNDER 18s:

You all up for a task? Seems this place kind of overlooks teenagers as just kind of background players, and we could use that to our advantage.

You all want to try and get glimpses behind the scenes and see if you can't find anything suspicious? Report back to me? I want to know if this place is real.

BILLY BATSON:

And you, I need a favor from.

[JULIA]

I need a favor. I know you don’t owe me anything, but I did promise to warn you before I did anything understandably rash.

[ELSA]

Are you busy tomorrow morning? I could use your advice on something.

[BILLY]

Can you keep an eye out on Stevie this week? If you happen to be spending time with her, that is. she’s very pink and I just want to make sure she’s okay and I don’t want to come off as a hounding parental figure. Which I obviously am not. But if you notice her needing any help maybe let me know?

PRIVATE TO JULIA WICKER

Hey, Miss Julia. You got a second?

Filter: Tandy and Billy

Am I a terrible person for being resentful that many people got to see people they know while nobody from my world has shown up?

HEY!

Everyone keeps talking about video games, and I've got my Switch Lite, but this is the era of the old stuff. Does anyone want to head out with me? We can get everything.

Or at least Pong?

We should get at least three or four Atari's guys. This is all hands on deck and a team mission, right? We need an organized effort.

Who is game? Pun intended.

BILLY BATSON & STEVIE & TANDY.

It's come to my attention that dangerous nonsense is going on and since you two are the only children here I can actually stand to hold a conversation with young and impressionable, I thought I would do my part as a Very Responsible and Trustworthy Adult to check on you.

So, consider yourselves checked.

[...]

Are you guys hiding in your rooms like everyone else wants you to or are you fighting ghosts? Because if you're fighting ghosts, let me know. I'm bored and need something to stab.

NATASHA.

Where are you? You better not be watching Goldeneye without me.

FILTER TO NATASHA ROMANOFF & LOKI (MCU)

Hi.

Do either of you have a couple minutes that I could go over something with you? There's something I need to try to be honest about and I've been trying to think of adults I trust here. I think of everyone that's you, Loki, and even though we don't talk, Ms. Natasha, you seem to be kind of like one of the leaders.

I've already talked to Mr. Waugh some but I am pretty sure I need to work up to it just being open for everyone. But...anyway.

You all are pretty used to magic, right? It's not weird for you at this point?

FILTER TO STEVIE

There are three adults in my room now.

I don't know how I'm going to keep this quiet much longer.

[BILLY BATSON]

Hey, can we talk?

So, what kind of classes do they teach here?

Oh and my name's Izuku! I just showed up? I think I'm gonna go get some regular clothes since everything else was in my locker...

If anyone is needing a fill up today, gas has dipped back down to below 30 cents a gallon! Yes, you absolutely read that right. Swing by the petrol station and I'll get you all taken care of!

[NATASHA ROGERS]

Seeing you yesterday was real nice, ma'am, and thank you kindly for the generous tip you left me.

Is there anything I can offer to show my gratitude?

[ELIOT WAUGH]

If you've got some time to spare, I'd really like to see you again soon.

[Filtered to High School people]

A few people have asked me who I'm voting for as Homecoming Queen, now that Veronica broke up with me.

Alina. She's nice, smart, and pretty.

So, vote for Alina!

From your basketball captain.

I am currently stranded on the sidewalk, in front of my house, which is locked up tight.

Due to a family obligation, I was supposed to miss the first week of school. these idiots I do believe my parents and extended family members saw fit to leave without me in their haste to run off to fat city. Which is totally bogus, man.

I'm going let them burn rubber and I'll break into my house.

Positives : no family gathering, my little project doesn't melt down and take this whole neighborhood with it.
Negatives : can't think of any.

Hey! Quick question about this, you know, void space we come back to and all. Is it possible there's like a barn or maybe a zoo out there past where we can see? Maybe?

If not, anyone got an explanation on why there's suddenly a horse here? I'm from the City. I don't have experience with horses. I definitely don't know how to help this guy out but he seemed pretty intent on coming directly toward me.

Can horses have doritos? I feel bad just eating away in front of him.

I'm not sure what that black building is, but I don't like it at all.

That's too many deaths in one day.

I'm taking point here. If you're heading out to do anything — anything — you check in with me. No one goes out of the building alone, and you go with someone who can make a quick and soundless portal to get you out of there if things go south.

No arguments.

ETA: How many of you have made it off campus to the town?

We're not in Disney anymore.

Has anyone ventured out yet? I think we need a coordinated effort here. Back home, I've lead a team that explores new, potentially hostile planets on a regular basis. I think a few of us should try to see what exactly we're dealing with while everyone else stays in the dorm.

Any volunteers?

Uhhhhh

There is something seriously terriffying outside! Has anyone else seen the things outside? It looks like an Avengers thing!

[Peter Parker]
Those things look like they mean business.

There was a tiny kid who was having trouble getting food the other day. I don't remember his name, but he was supposed to let me know where to drop something off for him and never did. So I'm assuming he either starved to death, got eaten by a squirrel, or managed to crawl up into the cupboard? If anyone knows what happened to him, give me a shout. Not that I'm worried or anything. Totally don't care. NATASHA. Are we still on for a rousing chorus of Asgardian drinking songs at the end of the week? Because I need it. Also, you might have to supply the liquor.

( ... )

Just so I am clear...

...when it says disappear...

...they go home, right?

Has anyone tried riding one of the squirrels yet? You could totally recreate Joust if you did. You know... just instead of an ostrich, it'd be a squirrel.

I'd try but a teeny bit too tiny for it, I think.

Ok, but hear me out. "Just know that none of us mean you any harm” sounds like something a mad scientist would say while his evil assistant comes out of nowhere and sticks a syringe in your neck. Especially with that creepy voicemail. Just saying.

The letter said this place runs on an internal calendar. What day is it? And is that really Disney World, or one of the dangerous circumstances mentioned in the letter, where the whole point is to make you think it’s Disney World, but it’s really, I don’t know, a supervillain’s lair? Actually, that would be a pretty kick ass lair. The castle especially. Or the big round ball thing. I’ll bet it’s cool on the inside. I’ve never left Pennsylvania before, well, unless you count the Rock of Eternity, but that’s technically another realm of existence, which begs the question so really hoping it’s the real thing.

Hi, my name is Stevie. I got here earlier this week.

I wasn't sure what to say before. I'm not sure I really know what to say now.

I'm from another Earth. It's pretty different from this one. Our Florida is called Sunshine Island because, um, it's an island and we only have thirty-nine states. I was on a road trip to go see them all before I ended up here.

I'm half alien, I like to play music and I haven't decided what I'm going to do with my life yet. I mean, I'm only sixteen so I have time to figure it out. I just was supposed to be the leader of this rebel troop of aliens but the war is over now and things are better so now I guess I just get to be me.

Hopefully this wasn't too TMI? Um. Hi.

Hi, hello, howdy! Really impressed with that paper airplane thing you guys have got set up. Super efficient for information delivery. And I totally appreciate Mr. Stark Tony helping me out with questions. Owe you one, man!

But did have a couple more.

With this whole 'reset' thing and the seven days, just curious, how many days is everyone else dedicating to actual Disney World? Because I've got to tell you, I've never been to Disney World and I don't want to miss a thing, and I'm just a little concerned four days isn't enough but I also know Orlando has way more to see than just Disney. So it's a bit of a conundrum.

Second! What rides are the absolute must ride as soon as possible ones? Don't tell me Dumbo or the Small World nonsense. Is Tower of Terror still a thing? That looked dope.

And third -- what's a Fandral? Is it a ride or a character in one of the older Disney movies? Or is it maybe some wacky Magic Kingdom food offering? Because I've seen the TikToks. I know they've got some intense food.

Speaking of! What are people recommending someone try first? I'm thinking dole whip. And one of those churros the length of your arm.
