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

[VAMPIRE FILTER]

Someone approached me about donating blood. How is everyone so far? Anyone in need?

[NON-VAMPIRE FILTER]

If you haven't stepped up to donate blood, there may still be a few vampires in need. Let me know if you're willing. No biting necessary.

Okay, so technically, Stevie setting up a dance party for the night in The Green (hello field, RIP Julia's woods) isn't going against Richie's wishes that she not talk to hunters like Matt. But if anyone is sucked in by music and fun and wanted to show up, who is Stevie to turn them away?

That's right. Stevie is going to impromptu put on a show. Everyone's been worried about chaos and violence. Clearly all we need to do is bring everyone together and show that we have more common than we think? Right? What could go wrong? Who wants to help Stevie set up? Who shows up to dance? Anyone show up to start shit or bring violence?

What's the worst that could happen?

[MARGO, MARGO + ALICE]

I'm going to need someone to get me decent clothing I can been seen in public with. Please go take a look at Peaslee and see if there's anything there? This is dire.

( Letter to Margo Hanson )

How dare you buy that kimono stand out from under me, Seb. Have you no decency?

Was anyone else a little put off when Brewster offered to put pigeon milk in their coffee?

I...I still don't even know what that means. Where would that even come from?!

HULK FISH.

Can people not phone ahead before just showing up at my house out of the blue? As if I have nothing better to do but entertain some random villager who wants to loiter around my living room and make small talk.

It appears I've procured a key.

I take that is my best indication that I ought to make a more dignified effort at introductions. So, with this in mind, my name is Seb. I would be delighted to hear about each and everyone of you should you feel like indulging me.

Do the patterns indicate we ought to expect a new locale in the coming hours?

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?

Eliot, Fen, one of you had better have Hanna. I can't sense her at all.

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?

So there's a lot of new faces around.

Don't panic.

On all sides.

For the new arrivals: you're in a pocket dimension. We don't know who did it or why, but a good chunk of us have been here for months. Every week, the campus resets to the way it was this morning. Most people fall asleep or go unconscious during the reset and wake up in their rooms. The reset includes you. However you arrived, whatever condition you were in and the clothing you were wearing resets as well. If you're injured, please flag me down. You probably have a key on you somewhere. Look for it. If you don't, let me know and we'll figure out a place for you to stay.

If you're new here, introduce yourself. If you're not, introduce yourself. Let's try to keep it in this one place so people don't get lost.

I'll start. I'm Natasha Romanoff. I'm from a dimension with superheroes, if you know what those are. If you don't, it's people with powers or abilities who used it to protect our planet and the people on it.

Now you go.

(For people who offered their services, I'm going to need people to check our stores for food, medical supplies, and clothing.)

Filter: Magicians and Friends

Right so. I hate to be the person to bring down people's enjoyment of being among civilization and actual Earth and all but. What are we doing as far as containments for werewolves go?? Since we have about a day left.

If you're looking for Michael Douglas in Wall Street, forget about it. That's 1987, and the brokers all look like Walter Cronkite. ( TW: Drug use )

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?

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?

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

Looks like the worst of the ghosts here find me just as unnerving as the ones at home do. The friendlier ones are fine.

Miss Wicker, it’s time for your lobotomy.

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.

[FILTERED AWAY FROM QUENTIN AND KADY]

I'm alive. Hurt but

Q's possessed but I guess anyone who's been paying attention to the network figured that out already. Looks like Kady is, too.

Sorry, I thought I lost my phone. Turns out it was stolen from me instead by whoever has Quentin. I might have a few things to help people see ghosts, enchanted glass. If I can make it to my room without getting myself killed, I might even be able to share.

Stay safe out there. And I'm so sorry I

Where do we bring the fallen?

[PRIVATE TO MARGO (PGH)]

It was Rey. The way she spoke of you to me, I assume you would want to know first.

She should be back to rights and herself come next Reset. If patterns hold.

[MAGICIANS + FEN]

Check in. Everyone good?

Meet in the cafeteria in 15 minutes. We're going to try and put up a ward to help with supply runs and food prep for the week to keep people from having to leave their rooms.

Captain Hops is no longer Captain and I don’t think he’s happy about it. He keeps saying “parlay” like that would change anything. Also I woke up to him sitting on my pillow so I guess Derleth decided this talking Fillorian rabbit is my responsibility.

Anyone want to join my knife class, I would absolutely be thrilled to have you. If you come in with some experience or none at all, let me know and I can work with you. That is providing shit doesn’t hit the fan later today. That’s always possible.

Filter: Rey

I am ready to talk about things.

CW: discussion of loss of child/miscarriage in comments

[FILTER: 21+ ADULTS]

I'd like to start off by saying this is not me volunteering, but.

We have teenagers, people who have limited experience with their powers, perhaps a few people interested in continuing an education they never received on their own worlds.

Who's interested in teaching something? Anything. I don't care. It could be self-defense, art, accounting, whatever it is you think might be a useful skill to impart.

I'm already working with someone helping them explore their abilities and I'd be willing to continue helping others in that arena, so who else wants to teach so it's not just me when we get back to campus?

Assuming we're not being chased by zombies or whatever.

So, in case you missed the memo, The Derleth sank.

Most of us have, somewhat miraculously, washed up on an island none of us even saw from the battle at sea. We're still figuring out the logistics of the little things people need; food, shelter, fresh water. At least it's only two more days.

Some of us are missing. Check in here if you'd like to let the others know you're okay or inquire about the status of someone you haven't seen recently.

No, none of us knows that this means for the reset. The closest the campus came to being completely demolished was about half, and that was months ago. One of the dorms never came back and was later replaced with a black monolith. But new arrivals appear to be showing up on the island with us so...

Maybe that's a good sign? Fuck if I know.

Any of you still out there, watch out. The people that attacked us knew our capabilities and were prepared to counteract them accordingly.

Is everyone aboard the ship? [..] This is my general announcement that I am here.

There better not be any fucking automatons or mind control on this cruise, because I will lock my people up in the brig if necessary. I'll make the powers that be wish they left me behind.

Where's the bar? Where's the bedrooms? And where the fuck is my space nun?

The trick to defeating seasickness is to completely empty everything in your stomach until you are no longer physically capable of being sick. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. AMA.

I disliked wearing a corset for my brother's coronation.

I like it even less under a dress.

Why did I wake up on a ship?

Also...why am I in breeches, a vest, and heel type shoes?

Although I dig the fabric.


{{ooc: mentions of death by cop}}

My dearest friend,

Welcome to Derleth.

I am so sorry I could not be there to greet you myself, but I trust you'll find your way around soon enough. Most of the students have not yet arrived for the new semester and so I've arranged for [your?] lodging on campus. You'll find a key in your pocket. Just like old times, eh?

Should the experiment go as planned, for one week we will be able to displace time and space itself. I believe with my calculations we will be able to control the effects and no one shall be the wiser. To anyone not directly involved it will be imperceptible.

Feel free to wander the campus in the meantime. We'll begin the experiment at [muffled] Hall, on Thursday, precisely at midnight.

We'll show them, won't we?
