ic notes and random gab

Still getting used to this place. I've seen all sorts of people here, I know not everyone's happy about coming here, but I can tell there's out of towners from here that come here for an escape, a new beginning, that sort of thing. This place is a lot like Wakanda, it's closed off from forces that might disrupt it, even the technology's something else, though Wakanda's was more dazzling. Can't expect the Wizard of Oz that's running the place to know everything about everything though. Unless he does, which makes me wonder if he's Hyd--

No, Barnes. You're here. You're safe. You're both here.

Does that fucking Tower have to be so damn big, though? Jesus.

[Steve]

Hey, so I made muffins. And dinner. Wanna join? I know it's not exactly Valentine's yet but I figured old habits die hard. It's like riding a bike, even though it's been almost seventy years since I've done it. And you always sucked at cooking, so I know you love it.

Oh, and I applied for that self-defense teaching position too. The headmaster asked for a resume and qualifications and stuff, but I just pretty much gave our history in combat and stuff. They said that the last self-defense teacher was one of the ones that left Preya recently so they were short staffed. We're still interested, right? He's okay with having us co-teach. Probably wants us to tone down the gay a little bit, but I don't think there's any problem with that. Much.

Get your cute butt over here and we'll discuss all that. I made extra helpings too, because fuck knows we need it.

[Natasha]

Hey Natalia, you busy? I was hoping to grab some coffee or something with you. Haven't had a chance to touch down with you properly since I got here and I was hoping to change that.

So, this is Ravenmoore.

And look, there's social media here as well. Joy. Somebody waved at me on the street today too, but I don't expect anybody actually knows me here, so they must have confused me with someone else. Great. So far I have more questions than answers. I should be used to this by now. Spoiler alert: I'm not.

Anyway, hi. I'm Steve. New arrival. I don't want to give away too much, but I'm reaching out. I think I read somewhere there's a Stark building here? Finding it hard to catch my bearings. If the name Thanos means anything to you, get in touch.

Looking for information re: to the end of the line. If you're the party who sent this to me, please reply privately asap. [Codename: Jerk]

I still owe you coffee.

So, from my understanding, a bunch of people were kidnapped, placed on a resort island, and the ones left behind were made to think the worst? And all communication was cut off?

I'm evil, but that's very evil and manipulative. Not even I'm that bad. Whoever did this, bravo. You've actually made me look good, and that's hard to do.

[Private to Loki]

We should have a talk. Big sister to youngest brother. Sibling things, of course.

[Private to Thor]

We should talk. Oldest sister to the middle brother. You know, sibling stuff.

Greetings.

I will keep my introduction brief, but informative. My name is Satya Vaswani.

I will be staying in Preya for an unknown amount of time. I will be documenting how the citizens live here while finding other employment. All information will go to the Vishkar Corperation and they will find a way to make the world better. Without all this... chaos.

As an architect, perhaps I can show you all the benefits of architecture with light.

I am going to create my own comic-book about a team of wizards who save the world!

It will not quite make up for the fact that there is no Quidditch here, but it's something to do.

I think we're due for some more disappearances. Things are beginning to get boring.

Hey, fer that blue moon eclipse thing an' all, we didn't need special glasses or anythin', right?

[Filtered from Hela]

Okay, but real talk though - Why hasn't anyone thought about giving the death bitch some 'special brownies?' Like I haven't touched tha stuff since my last encounter, y'know, got a bad batch an' all, but what if all she needs is a smoke?

Or some booze? Or think she'd be an angry drunk?

Has anyone else noticed the giant snowmen roaming around the city?

It seems there needs to be a change around here. It's what you mortals crave.

You may wonder who I am and that's natural. I am Hela, the Goddess of Death, and rightful heir to the throne of Asgard as Odin's firstborn. My rule doesn't have to end at Asgard. It can and will extend to Midgard as well. If you do not wish to serve me then you're welcome to see just what Hel has to offer. It's my realm as well.

Don't think of me as unkind. Far from it. I'm fair and kind in my ways. To me, all are equal. I deny none the embrace from the Goddess of Death.

Now, kneel.

Hey. So I had an idea, since I'm kind of an expert in the field. I will be taking applications from 6's-10's and there can only be one winner. This is the 'best ass in Preya' competition. To get through the sorting phase quicker, pick your rank and subtract one from it. Oh, and sorry, guys. This one's for the ladies only. So, who's got the heartiest, shapey-est ass in this country? We'll learn soon, folks!

I'm bored. Who's got some ideas for something new and fun that I can do or learn indoors?

I already got playing videogames and watching tons of YouTube videos, and I can play a musical instrument already.

[Magical journal message to Lucius Malfoy]

Mr Malfoy, I want to thank you for your kindness during what must have been a dreadfully inconvenient situation for you. I do hope I wasn't too much of a bother.

[Network messages: Tequila]

Hello, I don't know if you'll remember me, but I was once a fire princess?

I wanted to thank you for making a worried little girl smile.

[Dean]

Arcturus told me what you were doing in the library. Was it you who broke whatever bizarre enchantment that was? I hope I wasn't too much of a distraction. Is Mr Castiel quite himself now, too?

[Bucky Barnes]

I don't know if you recall, but we spoke when I was...considerably younger. I wanted to thank you for your reassurances.

[Cassian]

Having reviewed my actions over the telephone network when I was...not myself, I do feel I ought to offer an apology for shouting at you.

[Sadji Samara]

I'm ever so grateful that you helped me to stay reasonably calm during what was a terrible crisis from the perspective of a ten-year-old girl. So much so that I'll overlook that you had me attack poor Arcturus! Perhaps he deserved it. I recall him as being dreadfully bossy.

Let's not do that again anytime soon.

[Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier]

Hello.

[Selene]

She never did look up those records.

[Constantine]

Sorry about the attitude.

I promissed I'd be good so this message is for witches and wizards ONLY. If you are an evil muggle DO NOT WRITE TO ME or I won't write back.

I found out my ghost couzin is not really a ghost he is a TIME TRAVELER from long long ago and that is why his clothes are like in a portrait. He is not mean like I said befor he is going to protect me from all muggles.

I am making him a present but don't tell. We went to the park and the forest and saw creetures but not slimy or scary ones. And he said he'd get me a broomstick if I wanted but I can't fly. And he says I never ever have to go to school if I don't want.

[Filtered to people aged 17 or older]

I would like some advice about whether or not I am being unreasonable.

If a little girl is very poorly-behaved and you send her to stand in the corner, and then she sobs and makes a tremendous fuss, is it because you are being a 'beastly mean ghost' unkind and too harsh?

My father would have done much worse if I'd disobeyed him at that age, but then I'm a boy so it's different, and I've been told that that parents of the future are much less strict than in the 1840s, when I'm from. She's family. I don't want to be cruel to her. But there is only so much patience a fellow can have.

Suddenly it's like school here with all these kids and I'm as confused as everyone else. At least I know where I am and when I am. Did someone empty an inter-dimensional orphanage?

Why am I on Earth???

Yondu, what the fuck, man. Not funny. Come back.

God himself isn't as "quote worthy" as His creations are. But His words sometimes drip from the tongues of men who in the same breath would call Him a liar and denounce his existence. I've always found that I could find solace in the words of mortals more than I could our ever loving Creator. And for a while, that was part of my downfall. It's funny the way the world works.

"Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names" - John F. Kennedy.

My downfall...

And now I have been redeemed and made whole again, forgiven and welcomed back to the fold. Should I forgive them for all they took from me? For all the lives they took because their pet project, the Grigori, got too close to humanity? They saw to it that the Grigori watched over mankind and helped when they could and then punished them for embracing their own humanity? The Grigori who were the furthest from the Celestial temples and Heavens reach so that they could better understand humanity! And when I and my Grigori were put into exile, the Grigori were hunted into extinction. My people! I was once like them, raised to the station of Archangel for facing what Heaven could not and finding ways to steer souls from being taken into Hell without justification! And so when my Choir was dragged before the Archangel of Judgement, I too stood with them. And I became exiled, like them. I could have defended myself, but I didn't. Because I couldn't stand what some of my Brethren had done to humanity and how harshly they had judged them...

But as I said, here I am. Forgiven. Whole. I feel my Heart in Heaven call to me, and feel the struggle of those trapped in Hell bellow. I won't become exiled again, and I will never fall to Hell's embrace. My work does not end so long as I am here or anywhere else for that matter!

And why am I saying all this? I guess I just needed to get that off my chest.

Can anyone get ahold of Roxy? She's not answering my calls, and her work says she hasn't been in.
