Video starts off shaky at first and then settles on Fen's face, but she's not looking at the camera, she's staring off just past it like at the wall, her eyes not exactly focused on anything.

"Um, okay, so. I decided to try something out as far as searching for Derleth goes." She pauses very shortly to lick her lips. "I wanted to use the magic to find it and figure out where it is because it's technically here, right? Well, I--"

Fen pauses again and the camera shakes as a sound of a paper being grabbed is in the background. The camera goes still again and Fen briefly raises the paper to the camera, flipping it around. On it is a crude drawing of a bunch of random rectangles and squares in a large circle. After about three seconds, she drops the map out of the frame, and her face is back on the screen.

"I drew a map! Of what I thought the city probably is like from where our apartments are located. I did take some time going around and trying to make it accurate, but ANYWAY! It worked? Somewhat? Basically using the locator spell, the whole map lit up which I guess means Derleth is here, it just wasn't as accurate as I thought it would be. Sorry.

"Also, I'd like a medical person to come to my apartment as soon as you can, please? For completely unrelated reasons. I'm at [location]. Thanks, bye!"

I've been at work in my auction house, and since we're probably due to leave soon, I thought I'd open my stores for anyone who wants to own a historical, multi-million dollar weapon or artifact.

I can't take it all with me.

Okay, someone tell me: what did I miss?

I've been staring at this movie poster in my living room this entire week and it just occurred to me that the sword my character, Leoren Silverwatcher, carries is my moonblade from Irkalla.

Also I found our costumes from Much Ado at a thrift store of all places. So I guess if we're trying to figure out if things from Derleth are here, that stuff is.

[Eliot]

I refuse to go on the Internet before coffee. Please tell me they've moved on to something else and that no one has tried to yell at you for dating a married woman because they thought you were me?

If that's one of you tearing up pavement in a school bus during school hours...

Congrats, I guess.

Also maybe stop. You're earning celebrity status on the police radio, and I can't express how much I never asked for this job.

[[Following from this part of the school bus adventure plot, just around the time of the police showing up.]]

Things have gotten a little too strange here. Press any of the people around you, and they'll cry — out right sob — if you suggest it's not real. Given what Obi-Wan spoke of earlier in the week, I think we're dealing with a mothership/Chitauri situation. They're all connected.

And judging from how we keep finding pieces of Derleth but not the whole thing, I think the city is hiding it from us. Which means we absolutely need to find it.

ORLIN DAX, LOKI MCU, SYLVIE, JULIA WICKER:

Loki's been having some issues — missing memories, personality changes, and headaches.

We need more scans to find out what the hell is going on and how we can help Loki.

I wanted to do this this week, but with the current crisis, we may want to wait till next week.

While everyone else was on the bus trip of a lifetime...

Did you respond to Julia's request for help? When then! Have I got a half-assed IC/OOC event for you!

This is really just a space to write down anything special that may have gone down, and keep track of which nights your characters may (or may not) have aged due to the curse magic.

You can read about the curse here! And if you'd like a visual, link to a picture of the antique timer here!

So something new started yesterday and came up again today, a little more obviously.

Back on the normal campus there was this... presence, sometimes I'd run into it in the early morning hours when I was headed down to the kitchens. And it's... back. Now. In my apartment, though, instead of Butler Hall. A little on the territorial side, too.

I'm thinking about skipping staying at my place till the last night, in any case. Just thought I should let people know in case they're trying to track down the university.

Hello Derleth. I suppose I was due for a trip back in time after everything, but this is a bit further back than I would have liked. And sideways - if we're thinking of alternate and pocket universes as parallel verse linear. But I mean, neither of those are really a perfect metaphor, right? It's just the way our human brains like to process things.

Anyways. Sorry.

I'm Tilly. Coming from the USS Discovery & Starfleet Academy in the 32nd century.


I guess I'm supposed to teach math at the high school here?

My fake parents will not let me leave and the windows don't open and I don't have my powers. They took my phone and I'm not sure how long it will take them to realise I got it back. I'm not even sure where we are. The mail is just addressed to 4 Suburban Street.

Okay. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I give up: the coffee pot wins. I normally love this coffee, but not like this. Not like this.

I've tried spells, lids, giving free cups to the whole damn classroom, drinking the entire thing myself, smashing it on the floor, throwing it out the window, pleading with it in every language I know and some I don't, but it keeps reappearing in the teacher's lounge and it won't. stop. refilling. If anyone thinks they can help me keep up with emptying it before it can overflow, please do. It's the huge coffee pot with the vines growing on the sides.

Uh, sorry if any of us is stuck on cleanup. You're gonna need a lot of wet floor signs.

My apparent associates Hey, I may have caught wind of something important. If it checks out, I could use some major magical assistance on this. Bonus if you don't age. Also must be okay with stealing. Possibly violently if necessary.

Any takers?

Okay, HI, I'm not sure how I ended up here but I got the voicemail and the letter after THOR !!!! told me about them and told me about this network. HELLO! I'm Kamala Khan. This is my very first interdimensional travel, I guess? I mean I heard about it a lot from people in my world like Selvig (who my best friend is a huge fan of).

So, first question... how do I get some non-superhero clothes around here?

( Read more... )

Ugh, that makes two of my friends gone at the same time. Rude.

[Yelena & Eliot]

I'm pretty certain I found the script for the film that I'm supposed to attend a premiere for tonight.

Yelena, did you still want to come with me?

Eliot, if you come help me decide what to wear, you've got free range of the bar cart and I'll order in whatever you want for dinner.

[Stranger Things Gang]

I'm going to help and see if I can find the city's mind.

[Private to Natasha]

Alright, I've had my fun, I'm now ready to do some serious poking.

Starting with my fellow 'doctors' in the hospital. Nothing big, I'm just going to directly confront them about the weirdness going on. If it's a simulation, then maybe I'll break out of it? Or who knows? Maybe they'll respond with hostility. Either way, if you don't hear back from me in oh... half an hour... then something happened to prevent me from contacting you.

( Read more... )

Of course. I shouldn't be surprised that this place gave me my family took both of the people from my world, leaving me alone. It would have been better if they had never been teased.

LOKI MCU:

You around and as pissed off as I am?

Hey, so you know how the squirrels around here seem really different than Derleths? Like tiny and brown? Kind of sickly when you remember the Derleth squirrels.


I think I found a Derleth squirrel. It was chonky and so fluffy and grey, and I swear it recognized me and Lucky. We ended up chasing it — well, Lucky did most of the chasing, and I tried to keep up — but it disappeared behind an enormous redwood tree. Which, btw? Looks so out of place here.

I know most of the magic people don't have magic this week, but we could use your help with Luz. I think she's under some kind of curse, because every time she uses her magic--

[sound recording started - voice samples]

Hunter: Hey! Give that back!

chirping

Luz: You don't need to tell them everything, it's not that bad. I just turn into a cat.

Hunter: Just. You’ve lived with the Owl Lady how long and you think this is just turning into a cat?

Luz: It's not that bad, so far I keep turning back into my normal self. Just because I attacked Philip-not-Philip - he deserved it anyway.

Hunter: He’s not- he probably didn’t- nevermind, not the problem. And how many so fars did she have before going all beast mode? I doubt you got whatever ‘harpy form’ she keeps bragging about, so we need help before it gets to that point.

Luz: We don't need help! Maybe it's just normal beast magic and I'm a shapeshifter.

Hunter: Then cast something and don’t go cat!

chirping

Hunter: Yes, I know it’s a bad idea, but she’s being difficult!

Luz: I'm not being difficult! You're the one being- UGGG. FINE.

growling

louder chirping

Hunter: Ok, yeah, bad idea…

chirping mixed with tapping and more growls

[recording stopped and attached]

I am Princess Leia of the royal House of Organa, future queen of Alderaan. I have read your note and listened to your "voicemail," and still have questions.

Please respond.

I am probably not alone in this. I just had an unnerving experience.

Are we sure these are actual [...] people?

Okay, I have no experience with being a teacher or anything but in my experience being a student, I don't think I ever heard of an entire class turning in one of three different assignments, all of them extremely identical to the other in their category.

This school is weird. The students are also weird. Not any of our people but those that exist in this world.

How do you deal with mass plagiarism when these kids don't have any idea what that means?

If you haven't wandered through City Park, you might not have seen the carousel there that I own and run. The detail is amazing from an artistic/craftsman point of view. Although one of the horses is broken, the rest are in great condition and it goes fairly fast. Also, it's got the traditional brass/iron ring game which is harder than it seems, but still fun. If you're looking for a way to spend an afternoon, feel free to come on by. There might also be snacks.


Speaking of food, the cast party after the play last week seemed like a good time and since this week has alternating levels of weird and creepy, maybe a party at week's end wouldn't be a bad idea? I'm happy to help with food - as I'm sure others are - if other folks will take care of games and music.

[Natasha

Think we could maybe use your place for a shindig at week's end? I imagine you've got quite the kitchen.
