Dad’s gone.

I know he wasn’t really my dad, different version and all.

Does this mean I have to move to the stupid kids floor?

Is it just me or are the years getting shorter? I can't believe it's November already and Turkey Day is next week. No, I will not be cooking so don't worry, I won't be burning anything down. I decorate, I eat and I clean, that's my Thanksgiving.

My birthday was last week and I honestly have no idea how old I am. I kind of lost track when I came here and then with everything I learned, I just quit counting so I'm just going to consider myself ageless and be done with it.

It’s kind of weird to think I’ve been here for 8 months now. Good-weird, I think. Everything is so different from home, but that’s not really a bad thing. Sometimes I think I’m getting used to it and other times I don’t think I ever will.

Either way, I’m thankful to be here.

Ollie and I wanted to do something for the less fortunate in Goodland, so Verdant will be holding a food drive from now to Thanksgiving. If you bring in one or more non-perishable food items, you'll get 1/2 off the entry fee. Everything will be given to one of the local food banks.

I would love to organize a nice dinner for Thanksgiving. We could do a nice spread in the conference room.

Does anyone want to volunteer to help with decorating, cooking and otherwise organization?

Has anyone been outside yet today? Why does it seem like I stepped into the Land of Oz? And not in the Emerald City, that's a horse of a different color kind of way.


[...] Yes, I know what Oz is.

I've been regularly surveying the area. The robots seem to have vanished.

Goodland, huh?

What's so damn good about it?

I'm not saying that I'm going back to the dark ages with this stuff. But I'm tempted to unplug Alexa and throw out the roomba.

Torunn? Your namesake is just as protective; I'm pretty sure she's mauled more robots just because than some people have. Catasha, as her namesake, could not be bothered with any of this.

I think my collection of animals has been gearing me up for making my own Avenger team via fur.

I know she had many friends here so I'm sorry to let everyone know Diana was returned home this morning.

Now if you'll all excuse me, I'm going to drink my weight in vodka and see what happens at the end.

[Tony and Pepper Stark]

I could do the proper thing and ask politely for the day off but I think we all know I'm not coming in today.

Hello, I am Vision. I am new to Goodland.

Well this is bullshit.

I have things to do.

So does this mean that I can give people detention? Because that might be kind of fun.

[Tony, Natasha, Sam, Bucky, Bruce]

This must be an example of this Entity giving and taking. I haven't been able to find James. Is there a place I could have missed? I didn't want to worry the other kids just yet.

[ voice to text filter to friends & marvel ]

Nat mentioned offers to help and at this point in time I'm slightly less of an insufferable asshole but I could use distractions before I give myself another brain injury and Nat strings me up. No matter how mind numbing.

[ voice to text filter to nebula ]

You think you could get Nat out for a bit? Pretty sure she's gonna go stir crazy watching my dumb ass but she probably needs whatever girl-time is for you guys.

I have no idea how to say this. I just wanted to let you guys know what's happening. Yesterday morning, Clint woke up and he couldn't see. We had Joan take
a look at him (thank you, Joan) and long story short after an MRI to confirm things, it seems that the whack on the head he took during the Monster Mash has led to some brain swelling. There is a chance that the swelling will resolve on its own but there is no guarantee. We hope that's the case since the other alternative would be surgery.

I'll be sticking close to home for now, I'm leaving Gamora and Nebula in charge of the dance studio/gym so if you have classes there or whatever, check with them. If you need some maintenance type stuff done, any volunteers would be great. Clint told me that most of the big stuff was taken care of but there might still be a few things. We have no idea how long this will last but we're hoping not too long.

Clint is doing okay otherwise but we're both in shock over this whole thing. I'll try to keep you updated or if you want to send me a message, that'd be fine too.

[Steve Rogers]

I'm leaving what to tell James up to you, I trust your judgement. He's getting over his own stuff and I didn't want to give him anything else to worry about. I've been checking on him every day and he might wonder if I don't show up. So thanks.



*[Since between the two of them, they pretty much know everybody, I thought it'd be easier to do it this way so if you think your character fits the category, they probably do. I didn't include kids/Teenagers since Nate will probably tell them]

» Hey, uh...
» You got a sec?

Okay, the elevators are working again -ignore the creak, it's just needing some oil, I'll get it in a bit. The stairs between the 3rd and 4th floor are a little fucked, so I'd avoid that for now and the burn damage on the 5th floor is superficial so it'll get cleaned up later.

I'm sorting the electrics that got messed up, but if there's anything major around the building, let me know.

Can you take Nate and Tor to the vets?

So.... sorry?

[ Tony | Morgan | Oliver ]
I am very very sorry for worrying you. But there was a dog that needed my help.

[ Lila ]
Since I'm grounded forever, will you stop being mad at me?

[ Dad & Nat ]
I didn't wanna bring this up last night, cause... all the stuff.

But I can keep the dog, right?

[ Kara ]
Thank you for not yelling at me when you figured out I was totally 100% fine.

Also, you'd totally save dogs in a crisis, right?

I totally get why dad kept us way out of a city on a wide land with very little happening.

[ BARTONS & NATASHA & OLIVER ]
I'm gonna... hold the fort? I am not sure what the even means at this point. I know you'll probably be off killing things, but be careful?

Even you Green Dude.

[ MORGAN ]
Have you ever wanted to be anyone but who we are?
