So, people familiar with the weather this far north... are we past all the snow now, or does it come back later in winter too?

Text message to Molly
Hey, sugar, what time do y'all plan on coming home?

Text message to Molly one hour later
Is everything alright?

One missed call to Molly

Incoming call to Molly

Never been so happy to have a bag of goldfish crackers and not have to share it with anyone.

On a side note just so I can say I tried, is there anyone around here by the name Murphy? He's a bit of an ass and doesn't know when to shut up, looks a little on the edge of death sick, and probably bitching a lot about whatever he can bitch about. Brown shaven head and dark facial hair and last seen wearing dark pants and a dark button up shirt, but who knows if he might have changed it. Now no one can say I didn't look for Murphy just in case.

Fuck salad. Fuck veggie anything. Fuck that waitress who tried to kill me with whatever tofu is, and fuck those chick peas that turn into that godawful hummus crap.

ROCKET'S EATING A QUADRUPLE DECKER BURGER TONIGHT. With extra cheese and bacon and ice cream and every kind of fry this damn city offers.

If Santa is real too I will shit an actual brick.

Private to Mike

Want to get a Christmas tree or just say screw it?

Private to Barry Allen

How's things at Portland PD?

Private to Steve

It's been a little too quiet for my liking.

Remember to watch out for Krampus tonight.


ETA:
On the slim chance that Krampus actually exists here, to my knowledge he stopped kidnapping kids a couple of centuries ago. You'll be fine. But if you do see anything that scares you, call the cops and we'll sort it right out.

I hope everyone likes homemade candy.

Does anyone have a favorite Christmas tradition? It's still a little early to get deep into celebrating, but Thanksgiving always is the kickoff for me.

Mine is probably decorating the tree with Laurel and our parents with Christmas movies playing in the background. Even as we got older we tried to find time to do it together.

This fucking sucks. Whatever that hummus crap is - I'm not eating it. Or salads. That's like eating Groot and fuck no.

A week ago I was sitting in the Quarter, drinking a latte, and thinking about how my life couldn't get any weirder. I'm never doing THAT again.

Now what? I just... register for school tomorrow and act like everything is fine? Do I need to find someone to pretend to be a parent to check me in? Exactly how does this work? You'll have to forgive me. I've never been sucked into a wormhole and deposited in the Pacific Northwest before.

Well, this is new.

This is very new.

Hilariously enough I'm not that surprised at holes in the sky opening up and giving people field trips.

Just as long as there aren't any psychotic primordial Gods here I think we'll be good.

Here's a little something to shake off those turkey comas. Atomic County Issue #2: The Crime of Fashion.

This is one of my favorite all-time issues of Atomic County because it stars Lil Miss Vixen. And everyone know she's the cutest superhero around.

( Under the cut )

It's not worth talking to him, a reaction is what he wants.

Runaways

So we all agree that if we see him we run the other way, right? Especially Karolina and Molly after you both beat the hell out of him.

Caleb and Chase [Collins]

Kol's dangerous. He's an immortal vampire, as in does not die, at all, and he's killed or seriously hurt a lot of people including two of my friends. Just don't go near him, okay?

Ah, and what a lovely Thanksgiving this will be. I'm most thankful for my dark queen. Tell me, Portland, what are you most thankful for?

I have so many things to be grateful for this year. I never thought I would see a time that's so open minded about people and lifestyle choices. I am grateful to live in this world, even if it took me away from mine.

So here it is.

I'm gay.

And I'm an alien.

I don't care who knows it anymore.

Katniss

The house where I live with Skye and Emma is enormous. It has two storeys and there's carpet everywhere except the kitchen and bathrooms. I have my own room with a whole bed all to myself and I'm going to start school after the break. Emma only has one kid who isn't here and Skye doesn't have any and neither of them are even married yet but they're really nice. I have to memorise the address in case I get lost, it's 1703 NW Hoyt Street.

Molly

Thanks for showing me the buses and things. I'm going to start school after the break and Katniss said I'll be in the same grade as her sister Prim. Do you know her? What grade are you in?

I'm me. Thank fuck I'm me. I need to change clothes.

I don't really understand what the projection was saying except the Capitol is gone. Right? Hello my name is Rue and I've never been to a city like this before. Where can I get new clothes? How much is this money worth? This really isn't part of the Games?

So with Thanksgiving being a friends thing instead of a family thing, how many people are going to need a timetable to keep track of every party they're supposed to visit?
