NO EXITS

[PRIVATE: BLACK WIDOWS]

I'm sorry about Barton, Nat. I did not kill him, at least. I should get some credit for that.

The hot sauce here is perfect. It's like it's from heaven above.

I had a very vivid dream last night. Like I lived it. I think I did. Does this place do that?

Maybe I'll sing about it. I have a rather deep voice, but I'm sure it'll be beautiful.

Isn't there a Kate Bishop here? Kate Bishop, show yourself.


[private to NATASHA]

I tried to kill Barton in my dream.

[private to CLINT BARTON]

I'm sorry I tried to kill you. You explained it in the dream, but Natasha also told me what happened. Bygones be bygones?

Pikachu, do you want to be a mid 19th century general or an astronaut?

DR. STRANGE + CLINT BARTON:

I get the feeling you have more of an understanding of the multiverse back home than Clint and I do. Think I can pick your mind about something?

LOKI:

I have a new set of memories. An alternate version of our world, no Derleth. It splits after a point, like a random what if.

You should know that sometimes, the locals will sing songs about whatever it is you're doing. I took alligator Loki to the little river they've got to get some non-paddling pool time in the water. They sang about alligator Loki's little swim.

REY:

I don't mean to pry, and you're free to tell me to buzz off, but I thought I saw that you lost someone. Are you alright?

LOKIS:

I've never been happier to see the top of Peaslee Theater. I was thinking we could try and "borrow" a few things from the carnival for ambience?

As it turns out, I've got my TemPad on me. And it works. While its main function is to open Timedoors that lead anywhere in space and time, it's also a device to monitor timelines and pull up files related to timeline projects. The 'monitoring timelines' part is what I'm hoping to focus on, if I can get some help - I thought a good place to start would be to get Derleth's temporal aura on a screen, and see what kind of frequencies this Derleth is giving off and maybe get a read on other Derleth's as well. Some of you have been to a bunch of different ones by now. If we can figure out how to harness the energy, we'll maybe be able to have more of a say in what happens around here.

So, like I said, I've got the TemPad and I just need the help. If anyone knows of a good place to set up shop too, let me know. I'm happy to work with others and while too many cooks in the kitchen isn't the goal, there's no harm in keeping the rest of the group updated or answering questions.

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?

So sick of this mind fuckery. Stop with the mind fuckery.

I'll never be able to look at a wasp's nest again.

What in the heck

Did people leave?

To where? What's better than here?

Pretty new to the neighborhood I think, but all I know is that if I catch more one sea bass I'm going to lose it. Are there any other fish in the sea or am I doomed to always be cursed?

Also that Coelacanth fish that only appears when it's raining, if that wanted to show up at any point that'd make fishing in the rain actually worth it.

I shook a tree without a net and got stung by wasps. Anyone have some medicine?

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?
