ic notes and random gab

The recent blizzard has left our fair beaches derelict and empty. Ekera, what tragedy, when they have always been such a bustling source of life and joy. Now mine are the only footprints that mark the land at the ocean's end, but not within the warm wet sand. The Beast of Winter's breath does not fall on the islands of my home, but I did not know that it caused such problems for people. While I do not mind enjoying company and talking philosophy from the warm waters of the bathhouse, I say, it is not quite as enjoyable as when done beneath the sun or within the waves. I pray my mother's tides bring us back to these days of warmth.

Not that I am speaking in my official capacity here but I would like to remind the general population that while the 14th may be a day of love for most of you, that does not mean laws regarding public exposure and public indecency will be waived. Please show some respect for yourself, your partner(s) and your fellow citizens by celebrating the holiday without engaging in any inappropriate conduct while in public.

Is there like... an invisible wall surrounding this place? Because I'm pretty sure I ran into it and that's totally not cool, you know? They should warn people.

Oops. I lost my log in information. Seems to be fixed again!

Let's play a game, da? Let's see...


Even though I know my answers to these questions, I am curious to know everyone here. So. Humor me!

1) Who is your best friend? Are they here in Preya?
2) If you could be anyone in Preya, who would you be and why?
3) An easy one! What's your favorite food? New or from home
4) If you could kiss anyone here, who would you kiss? It is almost Valentine's Day, after all.
5) What's your favorite color and why?

Do you have any questions for me? I am bored and can't sleep.

Oh, frack.

So, this is Brightford right? Yeah. Sorry about manifesting that building outta nowhere like that. If I'd known I'd be bringing Star Labs with me I'd have shrunk it down a bit.

Looks like I'm trapped here. Ugh. Well.

My name's Cisco, and this definitely isn't Central City.

What is this place? Where are we? Earth-1? Earth-2? Oh God, please don't let it be Earth-X. Though it can't be, there's nothing on fire and there's no evil guys running around in masks.

Please tell me there's a Big Belly Burger here. I'm starved.

I mentioned doing something with this before and now that I've gathered the supplies to make the cards and the outfits for those helping with the deliveries, I wanted to put it out here again that if you'd like a Valentine or candygram delivered, I'll be taking orders to have them delivered for Valentine's Day. You can be named or remain anonymous, it's up to you! Not limited to the Abacus Institute, so everyone go ahead and let me know here if you'd like one! For personalized Valentines with no candy we'll be asking $3 and ones with candy $5. Proceeds will be going into clubs and activities at the Institute.

If one of our local sweet shops would like to partner up with us on this, it could be a great advertising opportunity!

Alright I'm up. School's in, I'm teaching again, so you'll probably see me at the Institute. For those that are new this year that might not be familiar with me, I'm Dr. Bruce Banner. Yes, that-- I'm teaching science, chemistry, physics, graphic engineering, but I fill in when various people are sick. I'm not really that strict, but if I catch you cheating on an exam I promise the other guy won't smash y-- NO I CAN'T EVEN JOKE ABOUT THAT WHAT I'm more the talk it out kinda guy than the stick you in detention for the rest of your life kind.

So if you need any help or whatever, let me know. We all had to start somewhere in life, and at some point we needed someone to give us the right direction to go.

I don't know what the go is with field trips here but I'd probably teach some outdoor classes on a nice day too, I don't want to seem too stuffy. With all my PhDs and stuff.

Shit. This is awkward. Yeah, yeah, I'm rambling again, I know.

Well, that's that. Man, that was refreshing. I don't think I've ever felt so relaxed. First time in my life I feel great. Well, mostly. Didn't even cause that much property damage. Let me know if the big guy smashed something valuable?

RAMBLING AGAIN. I know. I know.

[Tony]

Hey, are you doing the phone call home thing? Also I grabbed pizza. Extra pepperoni for you, right? Come over and join me. Don't mind the fish, she's babysitting me.

WHAT DEMON CREATED THIS?

WHY?

WHAT DID WE EVER DO TO YOU?

GOD? ARE YOU THERE?

JESUS?

DO NOT BE ALARMED. BANNER SAW SPIDER. HULK TOOK CARE OF IT. BANNER FREAKING OUT BECAUSE OF TWO HUMANS BEING HERE. BANNER WEIRD. BANNER LETTING HULK TAKE OVER FOR A WHILE.

HULK NOT SMASHING. EATING WATERMELON. MAYBE SMASHED A TREE OR TWO. BANNER WILL FOOT THE BILL.

BANNER SET UP MESSAGE DEVICE SO HULK COULD UPDATE WITH VOICE. BANNER SMART. HULK SMART TOO.

STILL BORED. AND HUNGRY.

Probably about time I said hi, right?

Captain James T. Kirk of the USS Enterprise (-A, but we don't let her think she's any less special to us for it). I've been here a month or so just... Laying low, I guess. Getting a feel for the place, which led me to believe the Prime Directive really wasn't a huge worry here.

More importantly - where's the best place to get a drink and have some fun?

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]

this is not a distraction post

So, um..hi everyone! I thought I'd say hello to everyone who is new here. I'm Izuku Midoriya. One of the Hero kids everyone talks about, I guess. I'm not really all that special.

Anyway! I wanted to say hi to everyone new. And, well, ask if anyone wants to talk about Quirks. I mean, powers! Or whatever you call them. Or if you're really good at something, you know? Might be good to have that in mind.

Hey, so I'm new here. It's nice here, lot of friendly faces and different kinds of people.

There was a metal detector at the train station and that was awkward, I think I freaked out the guy operating it when I took off my metal arm, but well. He didn't know what to do so I gave him a hand which, well.

Stopped by the marketplace though, picked up some stuff. It's weird how we went from the end of the world to snowing in the New Year, but that's a thing here I guess. Time displacement?

Uh, not doing this right. I'm Bucky, I have a metal arm and I am was I'm a soldier, well at least I was before I got here. Not sure what I am now. Alive will do for now. I'm glad the world's not ending and I'm not dead, that's a bonus.

This place is nice, I kind of miss Wakanda though. Anyone want to show me around?

Would anyone want to purchase jams, jelly, and or honey from me? Something I enjoy to make in my free time, however I tend to end up with too much of it. Thankfully my bees adjusted fine. I shouldn't have been so rough when summoning...

I can try to make some from any kind of fruit if you want, I'm always down for a challenge. If you want some let me know.

[Thor]

Hey big guy, you got a minute? I'd like to check in on you if you're not too busy. Got something I need to ask you as well.

[Percy]

Hey, are you alright? He didn't go too hard on you, did he? I think he likes you, and he doesn't like many people.

I had fun. You're... I'm gonna sound like a kid for saying this, but that was awesome. But you're sure you're okay, right? I mean, demigod and everything, I figure you can handle yourself a bit but I still want to make sure he wasn't too rough on you.

You gave as good as you got though. It's not often you impress the other guy, but yeah. I had fun.

And now I'm rambling. Well.

So, it's a new year.

If anybody's interested, I'm working on reopening Stark Towers proper - there's going to be some positions available, mostly for researchers and analysts to understand exactly what's going on in Preya. I found some research from the last me who was here about the disappearances and I intend to try and continue it without the sue of...tracking chips, which has been unanimously agreed as creepy. There might be an optional carryable version in the future, but either way, a chip can be removed. It's not really a reliable solution of finding out where people go when they vanish.

Other than that, I'm both open to suggestions and things to stick my brain into.

[Bruce]

How are you settling in here, anyway? I don't really get along well with New Year celebrations. Doesn't seem like there's a lot to celebrate lately when being alive isn't all that preferable.

Привет!

I am new to Preya. I'll be teaching and researching starting in the new semester at the university. I'm Professor Lera Melnikova. I was formly with the Spetsnaz, Rainbow, and a CBRN specialist, but that's behind me. I wanted to do more good, so I decided to come to Preya. I will be teaching and researching microbiology and immunology. Ricin, anthrax, sarin gas, ebola, VX gas - chimera viruses that can kill you with a drop of blood or one wrong breath. I've worked with them all and I can teach you about them. I'd also like to learn about any others that are out there.

Should you have any questions, please come find me. You can't answer questions with idle chatter.

I do want to know any good gyms in the area. I like to work out so anywhere that's 24 hours would be especially helpful. благодарю вас.

[Private to Doctors and Scientists of Preya]

I want to know if there are any good doctors in Preya. Any other researchers in immunology or someone that works with microbiology? Radiology? Nanobots? I have some questions.

Today I learned that cinnamon comes on sticks and are wood bark... so powdered cinnamon is just spicy sawdust!

Does anyone have a place where I can put a building temporarily? Maybe like 3-6 hours?

( I have received the best holiday gift ever! )
