NO EXITS

No

Fuck Fuck

I have a curious mind. I like to know things. I hate not knowing things.

K so check Natasha's post. Costco's technically in Danvers.

I can get the truck anytime after like 6 am. But we either need to send an advance guard to costco or look at local places. I saw some stuff on High St when I was out earlier. Like this place? and there are some smaller artsy grocery places but not really bulk.

Also, we're doing this run and loading, I pulled in Steve and Natasha to help figure out unloading. 💘 💘 💘

Surprise?

Quick Google search tells me that there's spooky stories around Dunwich. Perfect timing with it being October and all.

LOKI 616:

Exploring?

CLINT BARTON:

Hi. Nice day, isn't it?

I had to leave my dorm room in the middle of the night because there was a lifelike second Fen in my room. It was propped up and staring at me. Uh Anyone else with that issue?

Yeah, and we're in the void. Everything else seems fairly "normal."

The longer we're here the more creeped out I get by this place. I can't stop noticing flies now. And I'm kind of wondering what would happen if I tried to hand someone a few spiders or beetles or ants.

I don't have a tempad, but I did find this nifty twenty-first century smart phone in my pocket. So that's something.

Cowboy Loki got me up to speed on a few things. Sylvie? He mentioned you're here. You okay? To all the other Lokis and variants across the multiverse who might know me— hi. Not here to prune anyone. We don't do that any

I'm Mobius. Some of you might already know that. Looks like I'll be along the ride with you for the time being. Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Okay.

This is going to sound like a dumb question, but here's my dumb question.

Do you notice the flies? Have you seen any since we got here?

[Host characters will not notice flies, while human ones will.]

You should all know that Loki was killed this evening in a shootout at the Mariposa. Four men in black hats came in. One was killed, the other three were arrested.

[Immediately following this. This is not Hector's gang.]

I haven't been so disappointed in the make of bullets since I made my very first batch. These wouldn't even injure anyone. The gun's not too shabby, though. Not quite as nice as my design, but it'll do. Never hurts to add another to the collection.

Out of curiosity, did anyone have any flashes of this world last week?

VAX

How are you doi I already miss Ke I'm so selfish but I You know, I had the strangest dream just before reset. It may have been a flash of a possible timeline, but it was a little too out there to be believable. Even after everything I've seen since we arrived here.

I hope you all like horses and dirt. Seems like we're in a small settlement in the old west called Sweetwater. Few people out late at night, but they're coming around this morning. Most of them seem pretty polite, but there appears to be an outlaw around these parts called Hector Escaton. He's got a gang, so I'd be concerned about that.

More importantly, I don't seem to have my super strength anymore. Anyone else having that issue?

Welcome to the jungle Derleth if you haven't been here before. Sorry about the dorm arrangements, we have no control over that. You can sleep where you want most of the time but every reset you'll end up back where you are now. Yes, there's a big void outside the campus. This happens every second week. You can try walking into it but distance doesn't really seem to be a concept that exists in there and it's really unnerving. There might be something living in there, or maybe just Your eyes play tricks on you a bit. The forest's decent though and there's some animals living in there.

Cafeteria's downstairs, you can handle your own meals but occasionally someone will turn up and start cooking, which is usually better, especially since the kitchen's designed for big batch cooking. If no extra clothes came back here with you there's supplies in Peaslee Theatre.

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... )

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.

Filter: Close friends*

Sorry I didn't check in sooner, I was just kind of swept away with this place.

I'm living with Raymond. And my daughter. It's great but also weird? Are you all okay?

*not picky on who it is, but feel free to ask if ya want!

So if anyone has some aggression they'd like to get out in a way that won't alert the authorities, I... apparently work at a place where you can eat, drink, and throw axes? Come on by, say hello, I could probably sneak you some free food. We're apparently open late if you've found yourself somewhere you're not dying to go back to at night. Just don't bring your own sharp things until I've got a better feel for the place?

PERCY, KATE, LOKI, & KEYLETH:
Hey there, dream team. How's it looking for everyone this week? Thought I ought to check in early.

CIRI:
Doing all right? Figured I'd check on you after last week. And make sure you haven't ended up anywhere intolerable this week, that seems like it's hit or miss for everyone.

For fuck's sake. The letter didn't say, but are there any leads yet on who or what abducted us? Usual suspects include but are not limited to serial killers, hell lords, Asgardian troublemakers, and the US military.

I can't be the only one wanting a little excitement of the non-murderous kind. So let's play

FUCK, MARRY, KILL

Derleth edition.


Maybe a little murderous. But just in the fictional way.

[ooc: Posted before the afternoon rehearsal for Much Ado. Before that, anybody that was looking for him wouldn't be able to find him.]

Sheesh. Can't a guy get some alone time?

Kira... everybody... thanks for your concern. I'm alright. Really. It was a little bit between a nightmare and a memory update, and while it was intense at the time, it's okay. This is what? My third update. I know how to handle it. Hell, I've been through worse situations during our weekly outings.

You'll also notice that the Cloak of Levitation also has an updated look. Cloak is doing fine, too.

Well since you’re all back now, and things are being proposed for the week, I’m going to go ahead and propose a fucking party of sorts. Whether its a board game one that me and Mal once hosted or a non-magical karaoke party, whatever.

I think we just need a get together that doesn’t involve fucking fairies.

Filter: Orlin

I need some bandages.

Morning everyone. Gotta say, I have not been this excited for a reset in ages. We've still got 18ish hours here though so I'd really like to do another airdrop of supplies for the locals if anyone was keeping anything back waiting to see if they needed it. Remember things you came with like spare ammo reset with you as well.

Tomorrow's another void week so hopefully we'll be back to our normal looking Derleth with the full Green and power and running water. Try not to hog the showers too much or Captain America will be very disappointed in you.

Is there anyone willing to watch my dog? I'd like to go out scavenging and maybe finding some better animals for, you know, the arrowing, but I don't wanna risk him getting zombie-handled.

Great news everyone.

We come bearing food*

So we didn't find a ton because it sucks out there. And this is not a retrievable shaft field. But

15 bottles of water

2/3 of a container of baby formula powder.

A box of chicken bouillon cube (12 total).

3 shakers of red pepper flakes and 2 of parmesan--kinda full.

69 packets of cherry and grape flavored lube (lol)

14 oz a bottle of safflower oil that doesn't smell off

10 oz jar of coconut oil that could be ok if we get rid of the top part

1.5 22 oz. coconut oil massage lotion. I know. I know. But Cher eats lotion and she's super old and probably alive here too tbh so idk it's maybe worth a try.

* or like edible stuff. work with me here.

I think we'll probably have to go back out cause that's not gonna cut it, I know. But it's not nothing.

Hey Hawkeye.

Any luck yet?

Has anyone seen Loki? My Loki, not the long haired one or the alligator. We usually do our resets on the roof, but when I got there, there was just a scorch mark on the roof. He never showed up. There was no notice that he disappeared.

He's not answering his door, and he's not on the roof of the theater. His old roommate left, and I don't know who his new one would be.

All right, everyone. I went snooping outside the boundaries of the campus since it doesn't look particularly void-y (I know, I know... don't go anywhere alone, it's a flaw and I swear I'll work on it one of these days when it comes back to bite me harder than I feel like it should) and aside from everything we already know, positive or negative? I have good news, bad news, and worse news. We'll just go in that order, shall we?

GOOD NEWS: It seems we're in a town? City? ...there are buildings around, but I didn't go so far as to find out just how large a settled place we're situated in. Not the middle of nowhere at least, so it might be easier to scavenge ourselves a few things.

BAD NEWS: "Buildings" is about the most descriptive I can be of what's out there in the immediate vicinity. What's around looks long abandoned and in terrible shape, and at least the places closest to us look absolutely torn apart for supplies.

WORSE NEWS: I didn't see many people. Any people, perhaps? I don't know how much experience everyone has with the undead, but what people I did see seemed... that. Shambling, maybe not entirely whole but still making their way around, much more interested in a slow lurch in my direction than conversation. There were only a couple of them that I saw, but I didn't stick around to let them get close enough for a better look at them. I took the most roundabout way back here I could, so hopefully I lost them before I could lead them to our collective doorstep.

So... there's some information for us. Definitely seconding the below wisdom of not venturing out alone, especially if you're keen to get a better look at what's out there. (You know how it is, do as I say and not as I do. Let me learn from your example. Other sage words so you won't get yourself killed out there.)

I'm going to ignore the hanfu that I don't have the lithe figure for, but faeries?

Am I supposed to be thinking of Tinkerbell or worse?

So the black and red berries with the yellow flowers, you can't eat.

I mean you can. I'm not your boss. But you probably shouldn't.

Even if they're kinda good.

UM GUYS? I don't think I had anything to do with this, but, like, hypothetically speaking if I did something wrong please don't hate me.

Has, uh, has anyone seen my friends? One of them is an eight foot goliath so SUPER difficult to miss him. Oh, um right. I'm Keyleth and I think I'm kinda lost??

You know, green's usually not a bad color — not my favorite — but this is the kind of green that my sister looked before she threw up on that landing on Saba Airport when we were kids.

Hoping for no anvils and no boots with faces chasing after me this week.

IKOL:

Do you remember that one dimension went to where Noh-Varr and his people took over Earth, and there were all those women whose faces were singularities? Yeah, this place reminds me of that one. Same sort of goosebump kind of feeling.

I'm not a cartoon, but I look like my dad in these clothes. This is

Anyone want to check out Chinatown with me?

[STEVE]

Any chance we can just forget about last week?

The good news! I can tell the truth again. I never thought I'd be so grateful for that.


The bad news! An anvil fell on my foot and it was huge and red and throbbing for like 5 minutes. Because I'm a cartoon. This is weird, bro.

This is AWESOME! I look like the pikachu in the television show! YES!!! Hat and all.

It's like this world was meant for me!

There are CRIMES TO BE SOLVED!

Loki isn't waking up. He's breathing, he has a pulse, he seems otherwise okay, but I cannot wake him. This isn't the first time something like this has happened but thankfully it's rare. I would take him to the clinic for observation but he's much heavier than he looks and anyway, I don't know if it would make a difference. If this is like last time he should be safe.

Message me if you want into the room to see him.


[HUGH]

Please tell me you're okay this week. Dad is on his way to check in with you.

I am not tired of lying. I am not ready for this to be over. I am not looking forward to the reset, no matter what it is. I am not going to shovel my face with food.

I pretty much have just the network right now because of my curse, sooo... When's the last time we did a no-stakes competition? I'm 100% not doing any personal question type games on here when there's a bunch of people that can't lie or can only lie. But we should establish Derleth's favorite snack.

I'm totally telling the truth. I will swear on my childhood pet.

This is a fucking madhouse. Alright. Since people are losing their heads, literally in some cases, maybe let Nat me everyone know what's going on with all of you.

I spotted a few truth-tellers, some people who can't stop lying, someone's head got away from him, there's cats, a hyena, a talking bear - what else?
