Hey, I don't even know if it's true on how you might still be around here, but I heard you were at some point. So I figured I would send a message out with some hopes of knowing if you're here or not. If you're here, are you alright?

Private to Ruby

Hey. I'm sorry that I've been avoiding you, but being Jackson isn't all it's cracked up to be. It's like being Roy except meaner and wolfier. I dunno. It's weird.

Anyway, hopefully this will all go back to normal before Thanksgiving. Malia invited us over to her family's Thanksgiving, and we're sort of having our own awkward Thanksgiving thing here with Oliver, Roy, the Lance sisters and Thea and her dad. It's just like... really really awkward between all of them. But yeah, it'd be great if you wanted to come over. I'm not really a fan of holidays just because they remind me of my mom, and not being in Central City with Iris and Joe is just weird.

Or we could just do our own thing. It's up to you. I'll go with whatever you decide.

Possibly a really stupid question since everybody seems to know what it is, but...


What's Thanksgiving? And... Black Friday. Been hearing that a lot lately and it's kind of giving me arena flashbacks.

Are you seeing what everyone's been saying about Thanksgiving? It's like having a big meal with people you care about. I think that'd be a nice thing to do. What do you ladies think?

Private to Ruby

So..... I have to ask you something, and I'm not really sure how to start.

Private to Malia

I saw you making out with some guy. No, it wasn't making out. It was more like something straight out of Animal Planet. I didn't believe something like that was physically possible until I saw you both do it. Do you even know this guy? I mean, it's none of my business, but that was just.... I have a shotgun, you know!


Yeah... okay... I don't actually have a shotgun, but

Who was that guy here last week?

Barry fainted.

Uhm Does the name Virginia Potts sound familiar to anyone else?

I should probably catch up on homework since school is cancelled. Can anyone help me find information about Christopher Columbus? I've never even heard of him, and I have to write a paper about him.

Private to Hardy

We have a problem.

Santana compelled me to let her out. She's gone. She said I was doing the right thing, that I was a hero. And then she fed on me.

This virus seems to be getting stronger and more out of control by the day. I don't think I have to tell any of you to be careful out there, but it's pretty bad. I think we all need to be in constant communication with each other because if I lose contact with any of you at any time, I will probably lose my mind. Deal?

Private to Ruby

I want you somewhere safe please. Preferably next to me like 24/7. Is that crazy? Maybe. Yeah, it's crazy. It's totally crazy, but it's the only way I'm going to feel even remotely okay while all this is going on.

Private to Ruby

Just saw something that really shook me up, which is crazy cause nothing usually shakes me up this badly.

Might have to get out of the station for a bit. Do you mind if I pass by to see you?

A S.T.A.R. Labs sweatshirt?

IS IT MY BIRTHDAY?

Yeah, so, Dani and I kinda got married yesterday. Surprise?

Anyway, we're gonna have a reception at the Teardrop for everyone who wants to come or whatever. We'll probably just do it Thursday and combine it with karaoke. Let's face it, Berry will be trying to sing anyway, so why not just make it easier (and less annoying) on everyone?

I'm sorry for anyone who lost someone they knew in the fire last night. None of the girls were in my class, but I had seen them around campus especially during Rush Week. I know the police are still investigating the scene, but I would like to begin a small memorial nearby where anyone can leave flowers or other objects of remembrance for the girls. I will also be available in my classroom after class if anyone needs to talk, and I would be willing to leave anything at the memorial if it is too difficult for anyone to come and see it.

Private to Team Arrow (including Malia)

I'm at the university. There was a huge fire at one of the sorority houses, but the firefighters managed to contain it. I ran through the building to see if there was still anyone alive but... no luck. Only two girls survived, and most of the place is badly damaged. A lot of girls didn't make it out, but... there's something about the way they were when I found them that doesn't seem right to me. I can't see much now in the dark, but I'm coming back in the morning with my equipment to take samples and pictures of the scene.

Guys, something tells me this was no ordinary fire. Be careful, okay?

Private to Ruby

Hey, where are you?

How do you feel about karaoke?

FYI -- Karaoke at the Teardrop is pretty much an all age thing. You wanna come sing, do it. But let's be real here, just because you get in doesn't mean you're drinking. Oh yeah and, if you suck, I'll probably throw things at you.

I didn't expect to end up here again.

Private to Ruby

Hi! It's me Barry. I'm back to my regular self now, and you make me nervous again. Just wanted to check up on you and make sure you were doing okay.

And... maybe we could meet somewhere to talk if that's okay with you?

Private to Malia and Roy

Ruby's back. And she doesn't remember me. And it freaks me out.

What if she doesn't like me? How am I supposed to tell her that I've seen her naked we were dating? She's gonna think I'm some sort of freak. Especially when I tell her how fast I can run.

I think I might throw up.

What is this place, another curse? I have all my memories, which is a nice change, but I've never heard of a wormhole before.

So what's the deal here? Are there a lot of people here with powers, or who aren't human, or save the world on a regular basis, and everyone's just 100% open about it? Even Spider-Man is out.

As a superhero. Not as a gay man, but that wouldn't surprise me.


FILTERED TO BILLY KAPLAN:

I'm homesick. It'd be one thing if we could call home and talk to your family and Kate and everyone, but we can't even poke them on Facebook.

How is this

I don't

Hello?
