NO EXITS

Well, hello again.

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...?

Hey, who wants to hit up the little carnival they've got going on? The clown barrels are just a touch creepy in a low budget horror movie sort of way but they've got games and who doesn't love a game or two? One of the signs I saw was five tries for a quarter.

They'd have charged a whole dollar for one try back home.

And that water balloon game isn't fun alone so, come on, you guys know you want to. I don't want to just play against the singing strangers in the pastels.

PRIVATE TO CLEO

Want to go ride the Carousel?

Hello. I am Baymax, your personal healthcare companion.

Thank you to all my friends who took care of me while I was human, and the ones who helped me experience so many amazing things. And so many delicious foods!

I am back to my normal self again. If anyone requires health care, I will be available. I am also prepared to offer physical reassurance with hugs.

So that was garbage.

Julia and I were thinking tonight, we should let the werewolves run free. Everyone else stay to the dorms, barricade yourselves in. Let the wolves roam free, they have those entire woods.

Got it?

CLINT BARTON:

How hard would I need to twist your arm for patrolling with me? Make sure everything stays a silent night.

YELENA BELOVA:

Can I count on you to keep an eye on a building? Make sure no werewolves get through?

blocked from matt, but everyone else can see:

Look, I don't know who is what and who remembers what because as usual everything is hot mess but. Matt's not himself and he's a flannel-wearing lumberjack hunter on a mission and that's to kill me which is fine, I'm fine, thanks. This is fine. Everything's fine and all other Twilight creatures or whatever.

So maybe just steer clear of him. He'll feel like shit later on if he hurts anyone. Also do we know when the full moon is gonna be? How do you werewolf?

Any Anne Rice vamps with or without sparkly peens who have snarky comments can just fuck off - I'm trying to get through this without eating anyone, if possible.

MATRIX LETTER TO MICHAEL GUERIN*

MICHAEL!! WHERE ARE YOU??

*ooc: I need to write a narrative around how this happens but i have no spoons so I will backdate one. wanted to just get this up on time since i could. :)

Right, so about that "there's no way out" thing, nobody mentioned these weird, creepy disappearance notifications.

Or do we already know that doesn't mean they've actually gotten out, but something else has happened to them?

EDIT: MICHAEL

Have you investigated these keys?

This is an absolutely hilarious twist on the alien abduction jokes, but I have an asshole wearing my brother's face that I have to handle. So thanks for the welcoming committee and all, but I'm going to find my way out of here.

Is anyone else I know stuck here, or is it just me?

At the risk of tempting Derleth's wrath (or sense of irony), I'd like to take this moment of down time to suggest something. It's come to my attention that there's a lot of people who don't know where to go when in need of various skills. Magical healers, doctors, wizards/magicians/sorcerers, people who can sew or cook, etc.

Basically, I'd like to organize those of you who would want to volunteer your skills to the other Derleth residents. You don't have to volunteer if you're not comfortable with people knowing what you can do, but for those of us who would, I'd like to give them a place.

Then maybe the Welcoming Committee could add this to their note, and we could add it as a pinned sort of post on the network so that it's there when you need it.

If you're interested, let me know what skills you're offering.

ETA: You can see the chart here.

So who wants to go rock the fuck out at CBGB with me and Stevie?

Anyone around here handy? I need help boarding up the windows in my room. I'd hate to wake up on fire after the reset.

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?
