NO EXITS

We are running out of time. If you have NOT tagged your person, it needs to happen. If you have been unable to locate your person, let's chat.

[Sharon's Band of Beautiful Anti-Heroes and Villains]

First, have any of you NOT tagged your person?

Second, we're putting Plan B into motion, because at this point we don't know who might not have been tagged that is currently unavailable for tagging thanks to the extremely clever 'let's destroy a building' contingent.

Right now that's collecting things that we can find on their campus that might make life a little better on this one. If Plan A happens, they can thank us when they end up here. It's going to have to be done quietly, and probably best done if it looks as if you're over there to help.

I'm going to assist with Butler. I'd like people in the kitchens helping with food, and people in medical helping with healing. I know some of you are already doing that.

As you're doing that, consider what might be useful here, and slip it out wherever you can.

We'll gather supplies in the third floor classroom where we sometimes meet for now.

If this doesn't work, those supplies will be distributed amongst us for as long as they last.

Questions?

So a few of us have an idea to find out more information about this place. It involves building something called a Tesla Flexion and it will allow us to talk to someone from another timeline for two minutes.

I'm making this announcement because some of you have been here long enough to know that when we try to fuck with Derleth, Derleth gets fucked. When Rick tried to anchor Derleth on Planet Vegas so we could stay somewhere decent, it didn't work, and the next week some of us woke up in the bodies of ourselves from alternate timelines. That time a bunch of people shrank down an IKEA and stole it so we could have furniture? We woke up different heights the following week. It's worth pointing out each consequence has only lasted the week.

The plan might not work, but Derleth might react regardless. This isn't me asking for permission from every single one of you, this is me giving you a heads up. Figuring shit out is going to require risks. I promise I'll try to make this one worth it.


[TEAM TESLA FLEXION*]

I'm ready to do this. Armitage Hall? Tonight at 6?

Caduceus Clay will be in the Tesla Flexion to talk to Rick, posing as his daughter Dahj. The Rick of this timeline was kinder. We think he'll be cooperative in addition to having information we need.

Natasha Romanoff is our interrogation expert. She'll be feeding Caduceus lines through an earpiece and coaching him on what to say.

Alice Quinn and I will be casting the Tesla Flexion.

Kady Orloff-Diaz is providing the battery we'll need for the extra power and can help Alice and I set it up.

Mobius M. Mobius is our timeline expert and will be there to assist in feeding Natasha questions to Caduceus as needed.

Eliot Waugh, Original Loki and Ben Reilly are our additional science and magical timeline/multiverse experts to assist Mobius in case new information comes up. ETA: Also Rocket. He's worked with Rick before. Say hi.

We only have two minutes so we have to make the most of it.


*(OOC: Folks that replied to this open post, or spoken to Julia about the Tesla Flexion were invited to join. Did I miss someone? Please let me know! IC/OOC post coming tomorrow!)

Has anyone heard or seen Tim? I messaged him several hours ago and heard nothing back and didn’t see any disappearance notices either.

So, uh, who do we have left in terms of medical?

Cool, stuck in a frozen wasteland and a shit ton of people disappeared?

I hate this place

[MAGICIANS]

Sorry about Q. Again.

[ETHAN]

You need anything? I have no desire to go outside right now, but I can be decent company if you want it.

[ETHAN CHANDLER]

Haven't seen you around lately; you missed game night. Are you doing okay?

[FILTER EXCLUDING MICHAEL + JANET]

Does anyone have any extra cigarettes this week?

Someone has altered my droids memory banks, messed with my memory somehow and gone through a lot of effort to forge documents. I'm most impressed with the still holograms. The likeness captured is admirable but utilizing imagery of myself, and those who are long gone, was foolish. I know these events not to be true. And so I ask, what is the end goal? Why create such a vivid false narrative?

I doubt the culprit will step forward. Beebee's frustrations towards me at the moment have him acting difficult in terms of questions. So I present them to this form.

Which planet are we on? Or which system, at least, are we in? I was last on Kashyyyk and I need to get back. Is here a hanger bay on this campus?

Please do me a favor and if you see me talking to myself, just give me a minute. I'm fine, really.


[MARGO, QUENTIN, ALICE, KADY, SEB, FEN]

So for those of you who remember Charlton, he's back. We're not sure why. Let's keep our fingers crossed that this is a temporary Derleth thing.

[TIM STOKER]

Honey, dearest... We need to discuss something.

[This post brought to you by: Becky is an asshole to her characters.]

This wouldn't be the first time I get forced into random musical numbers, but if you decide to go eat breakfast at the little cafe in town because you're absolutely starving? Don't let corn pudding be a part of the conversation. The townsfolk will just sing your head off about it in a very over the top way, repeatedly, until you walk away. And it's not even a good song... ugh.

What in The Music Man hell is this? Please tell me I won't be forced to sing.

Everyone make it through the night okay?

Anyone need help? Please try to check in here if you're able to.

We're almost at reset, just one more day of this.

Fuck, I'm so tired and sore. Can this please be over with already?

It feels like I have too many sets of memories in one head. Janet needed a lot more of a backbone.

If I didn't already realize I was some kind of a werewolf this week, I'd know it now because holy fuck do I feel agitated and hungry for the absolute worst things like raw meat. It's PMS x100, y'all.

Has anyone figured out a safe place for us to go yet or are there just going to be a bunch of massive feral dogs running loose on campus tomorrow?

So... anyone else wake up a vampire this week?

ETA: Blood donors this week are going to be appreciated. So let me know if you volunteer.

This whole feeling post wake up is the worst. Even sleeping didn't make me feel less like death warmed over. This is like the flu intensified.

What do we know about what's going on? Alice wrote a lot and I had to go back and read it after sleeping. But hi. I'm Quentin and I miss my hair.

[PRIVATE TO VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN]

I'm sending Ethan a letter just to see how he's doing. I don't intend to wake him up though. I just

( Letter to Ethan Chandler )

Welcome to another week in the life of a dystopian underground society held together by the fear of technological subjugation and sticky oatmeal paste. For the optimists out there looking to celebrate the little things, my eyebrows have mostly returned. For those of you thinking about doing something crazy—like inserting yourself back into the two-dimensional hellscape of potato people—this is your reminder that we have now gone four weeks without a reset. If you get injured or you die, there aren’t any guarantees anyone will be able to help you.

And for those of you who participated in the mission last week—I know we kind of bungled taking out that harvester machine thing, but we did “rescue” a few people. So, well done. Thumbs up for that.

Have a marvelous week! ♥

What fucking fresh hell is this now? Has it really been three weeks? Also, I have some questions for whoever in this post-apocalyptic hellscape shaved my nutsack...

This sucks. Not sure why any of you would purposefully pull your friends out for this.

What's the rush? If we're stuck here, there's time. If we're not, that other world is way easier to deal with. It's only been three days in there, last I checked.


[ALICE QUINN]

Saw you were out. Thought you should know Q is back. He's in there.

Well, a week has passed and we’re still here.

Anyone else thinking about investing in real estate?

On a more serious note I’ve made a friend with one of the ship captains who said she’d help me take a small group to the power plant to look for some of our people. It’s not without risk, obviously. And it comes with a caveat that we help her take out a harvester machine. But I’m not doing anything else this week. So, anyone interested in a little mischief?

I guess I have a key now.

[Room 504]

Sorry if I startled anyone this morning. I made some coffee to make-up for it.

MAGICIANS UNIVERSE

This week has obviously been more chaotic than normal with new arrivals. How's everyone doing?

Also... this is a weird request-slash-idea, but I'd kind of like it if all of us could get together and hang out for an evening while we can. Fire pit on the Green tonight, maybe?

So ghosts are real?

Hello Delerth, I'm Hugh Christian and I arrived here earlier today, and apparently seem to have been unfortunate enough to arrive without a key. I thought maybe I could sort this out myself, but I haven't seemed to be able to.

I'm wondering if anyone has an extra key, or a sofa? Just until I can figure out something more permanent hopefully this isn't. I promise you won't know I'm there. I don't have much cash on me, but I do have a laptop with a half dozen romcoms and musicals that I'm happy to view for the one hundredth time, a half pound of Anchorhead coffee and ten years as a barista in the U District - I promise you the best pourover you've ever had, at least for a day or two while the coffee beans hold out.

If there's a better way to do this, or I don't know, a place to find keys if one didn't show up in your pocket, I'm happy to just be directed there as well.

So, yeah, I get what redhead was saying there, but I know that spell with the paper airplane, and I know some of ya'll ended up here. So, who's around from Brakebills?

This is Penny, original flavor, seemingly on a leave of absence from the Library. Sup?

[FEN, MARGO (1), ETHAN]

You guys all good after the full moon last night?

FILTER TO YENNEFER

Are we still good for this evening?

FILTER TO VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN, BEN REILLY AND RICHIE TOZIER

I can procure tickets for La Cage aux Folles two nights from now. Are you three interested in that being the evening out?

FILTER TO KADY ORLOFF DIAZ

I hope you've identified the must see location in Hawaii.

Just a heads up, I haven't found any safehouses. Brakebills doesn't appear to be here either. I'm not saying there isn't local magic here, but I haven't found any sign of it.

Who wants to see Cats?

They might not be the most space saving media on the planet, but I am now the proud owner of a VCR, a selection of films, and a stock of Doritos, so already this week is a definite improvement over last.

[Rm. 506: Mobius, Vanya, "Pedro"]

Before I wander off to Hawaii, drink preferences?

[Kady]

Thanks for the help with the cash, I owe you.

[Bucky]

Did you make it through the week unscathed?

I will be seeing what I can find by way of medical supplies. If anyone would like to assist me, I would appreciate it. I will...of course need to find a way to obtain money for it if stealing it is a little too dangerous. I'll have a list of things that we need at the clinic.

[Ethan]

What are your plans in this time?

If anyone needs help getting some cash for this week, let me know ASAP. I don't plan on sticking around the city very long.

[ETHAN]

Can we get out of town this week?

So. Last week was terrible.

As much as I normally love this city, who wants to check out what Hawaii in the 80s was like and sip piña coladas on the beach?

Is it over? Are the ghosts all gone?

Also, where are we and where can I get pounds of meat to cook? I woke up with a particular craving.

Filter: Margo The First

I guess I got all overly confident and then went and died on you. At least that's what I think happened.

Filter: Loki

Sorry for missing the end-of-the-week starry night date.

Apparently I should have said something even though I've been sleeping most of the last few days, but hey, not possessed anymore. That bitch got trapped.

I've got five of these fuckers in bottles. Where are we keeping them?

FUCK

I just found Fen. Goddamnit, I liked her.

I'm bringing her inside. She's

someone's gonna fucking pay for this

Can I put her in someone's room? I don't want to leave her out for these fucking ghosts.

Right, I don't know anything about fighting ghosts but I can do muscle if anyone needs it.
