Okay, soooooo, feel free to be all "Oh you sweet summer child" at me because I'm still totally new at this, but besides all the movies and TV series and stuff we can obviously torrent easily... how do y'all pay for everything when you get to these places?

Like do you use powers to conjure money? And if you do, who gets how much? Is it free reign or one person keeps their hands on it and distributes for whatever you might need?

And if that's the case, can I get a few for art supplies??

GUESS WHAT WE CAN WATCH NOW THAT WE ARE HERE!

Oh my god. It worked. You're back.

Are you alright? Does anyone need medical attention?

Just stay where you are. We'll need to get a head count, make sure everything is okay. If you could just stay on campus. Please?

There has to be a way to be more useful around here. I feel as if I have no purpose other than existing, and I don't like that.

WHOEVER IT IS—

STOP. PLAYING. THAT. DAMN. SONG.

I was going to suggest a game night, but I can't see any colors so I don't know how that would work.

OBI-WAN:

Can I talk to you about something? It has nothing to do with this place, but it's been weighing on my mind a lot.

Two questions: where the fuck did my hair go, and is there someone I can punch about it?

Just a few questions.

Can you see the monsters beyond the void?
If so, would you be willing to help me track one down so I can enchant it?

DO NOT TRUST THE SQUIRRELS!

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.]

The women at the bar... no one cares?


(cw: discussion of sex work which may include sexual exploitation of minors, I will update to confirm if so)

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.

Can we trade the clothes we got? Because I'm not sure this is going to work for me all week.

On the flip side, free drinks isn't the worst thing?



[ooc: pretend the linked image is a selfie]

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?

Now I know where he's been hiding all this time. I'm finally going to kill that piece of shit. He's going to pay for what he did.

Thanks, Derleth. Now send me the fuck home so I can do this.

Between selling oranges last week and getting all these flashes this week, I would like to not see oranges or monasteries for the foreseeable future.

Anyone for some distraction via knife/dagger fighting? Or maybe a bit of competition throwing them?

[Ed]

You seen anything from home?

( voice recording )

Okay, so this has happened more than once now.

Anyone else having — I don't know what to call them. Flashes? Small blips of visions or memories of things that haven't happened? Or seem to be alternate universes?

I'm pretty sure I was a puppet of some kind in an alternate universe. And

Shopping list next time we land somewhere halfway civilized.

And go.

(No, this isn't me offering to collect everything. This is me encouraging everyone to help each other out. Almost like we're forming into some kind of community or something.)

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.

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.

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?

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

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

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.

Anyone want free candy? Feel free to come by Candy Crush and take all the sweets you want. All of them. Please. Whatever you want, just come in and yank em off the shelves or the bins. The smell is driving me bonkers.

Fine. It's not a stupid fucking prank, or worse, an escape room.

How do I know this isn't all in my head? Like a fever dream or a coma?

On the medical front, while we're talking about weird things. We've discovered that the patients here, aren't really sick. The local Doctors and staff are assuring us their patients are sick, we check the charts, and everything lines up.

That is until we run tests ourselves, no one here is actually sick and we've discovered that they are being given placebos and sugar pills.

Chris Pike, James Kirk, Spock, & Orlin Dax

What do you all think about getting together sometime this week for dinner?

Anyone else a senior in high school?

I'm living in my family's house. My mom, dad and my brother are here. But they're different...in a creepy way.

[Laura]

How's home school?

[ rose's avatar shows her with two eyes. ]

Indeed, it would seem the doorway has transported me to another realm, but far from where it should. I could almost think this city some remnant of the Age of Legends but for the buildings. Their design bears no mark of the One Power.

This place, it is...very unexpected.

I am called Moiraine.

[BEN REILLY & CHRIS PIKE]

Uh. So. I think Stede's here?

I mean, he's definitely here. Just don't think he's found his phone yet. But he found a fucking flower shop somehow.

What do I do? I can't keep running away every time I see him. Or maybe I can?

(ADDED LATER)
[JIM JIMENEZ]

You should probably know Stede's here, and he's fucking lost it.

Steven's gone, I think I'm cured. He's been a part of my life since I was a kid, it's weird not having him around. My thoughts are quiet.

Khonshu's gone, too. And I have some sort of administrative job at City Hall. I finally have a regular life.

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.

Looks like I'm without magic this week, but if you need surgery, I'm the Head Surgeon at the generically named Hospital.

I own a farm. It's obviously called The Barns. Still a drop out because fuck school.

I also woke up to someone sleeping next to me [...] He's apparently my boyfriend.

So this place is called Megalopolis, but most people just call it The City. Sort of how New Yorkers and people from San Francisco just call it "the city." I seem to have some sort of reputation around here as a slacker. I guess that's what happens when your job is "Trust Fund Baby."


ORLIN DAX & BAYMAX (PRIVATELY):

I need to talk to you about Loki. He's been having headaches and some personal and has said that he went to medical to get looked over for them. He told me you found nothing.

But things are still wrong, and he's refusing to get help for the headaches.

I know, doctor/patient confidentiality, but this is something that's transcending the resets and keeps getting worse. Help me out here. Did the scan really turn up with nothing?

Y'know, there are better ways to get my attention than a kidnapping and a creepy voicemail.

Well this is... cryptic. Everyone good?

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 need to know something. Anyone here actually knows what Mordoor Morrdo Mordor is? I have a bet that says there's more than ten people who never heard of it.

[FILTERED: Dustin Henderson & Eleven Hopper]

Hey, you two both know if you ever hear about any drugs or anything that So. Weed Why is it always me Ok, look. There's some choice relaxant plants around campus. I mean weed. There's weed. Now I'm not saying that you should try it out. I'm also not saying you SHOULDN'T try it out. What I'm saying is that if you two make any decisions about exploring that stuff just don't be all secret about it. You have people here that would hang out and make sure you're safe. Got it? Cool?

[FILTERED: Wizards? Magic People and Robin Buckley. NOT EDDIE MUNSON.]

I don't actually know if this got answered before but let's say someone you know is probably in for a really bad time if they get sent back home. You guys know how to make sure that doesn't happen? Not saying that's what I need right now, but trying to get a read on what's possible.
