Congratulations, Magnus! And well done, everyone who competed today! You made the first Weapons Club enjoyable.

Sir Aramis, tales don't do you justice. If I had to be knocked out in the first round, at least I can salve my pride by saying I lost to a musketeer.

Still sore? Are you sure you're not

If anyone would like extra practice for Weapons Club on Wednesday, I'll be in the gym. Quite a bit of effort has been put into preparing for it, and I believe it will be enjoyable for everyone.

That's. Uh. A lot of fanfic.

Are any of you responsible, or is this an unconventional pod drop?

I can't claim to know Peter half as well as his close friends but I did like his music and he made rather idiotic choices with women but at least he was aware of being an idiot, which often goes a long way because most people just stay idiots until they die.


Does anyone else not miss Storybrooke but maybe the idea of having ... normality? WHatever that is. But living a life. Being married. Having kids. Jobs. Not worrying about death and darkspawn and maker knows what else because you're set on a path where you can never be content with anything and you're destined for more. I'm not supposed to be the destined one. Garrett is. He's a good brother, you know, even if it's easy to get overshadowd by him but that isn't his fault, hes just larger than life and doesn't realize it sometimes. being a warden helped me step out of that shadow, but it always feels like there's some other shadow. the darkspawn. the calling.

maybe I'm not meant to be content unless it's done by magical spell and stripping me of all else i know

drinking alone was probably a mistake.

It was almost....nice, being a regular human instead of who I am. I wouldn't ever change my memories, though. They make me who I am. They are part of me and make me real.

I've tried writing this a few different ways, and I discovered that the best way to do it is by being blunt:

I'm resigning as Councilor.

I'm grateful for the last year in this mountain. I'm grateful for the trust you've given me over the months and the privilege of leading you. However, for a number of personal reasons (most of which I've shared with people I'm close to, and am not ready to share with people I'm not), it's appropriate now for me to concede the position to Logan, before the discussions about the Grounder alliance begin.

I will still serve the people as Lieutenant General, but my political career is over, and I am content.

[info]proudlibrarian

I still have a great deal of catching up to do, on history, on this place, the people, the.. communities that have grown and fostered and died since the world went arse up, but I refuse to let myself get lost in books before I make proper introductions. I'm Evy O'Connell, my husband introduced himself a few days ago but then it was simply "You can call me Rick and I probably won't shoot you".

I'm to be a Mapmaker, but I have to ask; is there still any love for Archaeology and history this far in the future? Survival comes first, obviously, but- Well, admittedly it's my great love and I don't think anything can truly tear me away from it, even here.

Sooo I don't know if I'm more passionate about the fact that I beat as many people as I did in Fight Club or the fact that I lost to Thor.

Easily some of the best bruises I've ever gotten.

Sooo...I got eliminated in the first round at Fight Club. Not my best performance but Matt Murdock, I have to hand it you...you're amazing. I'd love to learn some of those moves.

Hopefully I'll do better with the weapons fighting. I tend to be better with a dagger anyway.

We're back, and with good news for once. Lexa called us to Polis to offer us a place as the 13th Clan in the Coalition, and she's given us a week to decide if we want to accept or not. The Command officials will be meeting for the next few days to discuss it, but even though we won't be having an official vote, your thoughts are still valuable. This is a big decision on our part, and it's worth publicly discussing so that your representatives can accurately argue for your perspective in the meetings.

Speaking of the Council, we're having a shift in personnel: Abby Griffin is stepping down as Chancellor to devote more of her time to Medical. This means we're down from 5 members of the Council to 4 for the time being, because Marcus Kane is stepping up as Interim Chancellor until an official election later this year. Kane served the Council on the Ark, and to be totally honest, he understands and negotiates more effectively with the Grounders than Chancellor Griffin ever did. This is a positive thing, and Chancellor Kane should be addressing everyone in his own words soon.

SNOW WHITE:
I'm not sure what the chance means for you, because I'm not sure if Mom has talked to you about it. She basically resigned in Polis instead of waiting to get back. Kane might be more proactive about announcing things himself or he may want to use you the way Abby did. I'm just not sure, and I wanted to give you the head's up.


Peeta Mellark, Mordin Solus, Sandry fa Torin, TJ Wagner, Evie Frye, Ravi Chakrabarti, Kallian Tabris, Baelfire* (*Basically, Podkru people established to be her Real Actual Friends in this post. I'm happy to add people if you drop me a note!):
I know Ieft almost as soon as everyone reappeared, so I'm sorry I didn't check in earlier, but: hi, I missed everyone who was gone and I'm happy for everyone who got somebody back.

How are you guys doing?


CASTIEL:
How are you doing? Are you even awake yet?



(ooc; i'm popping out for dinner, but i wanted to get this up so people could start talking about the 13th clan thing without having to wait for me. be back soon, xoxo.)

So, last month, we talked about a weapons club and I'm happy to say we are getting it up and running. With the play and fight club, we were short on weekends this month, so April's fight club will be on Wed Apr 27 (info and signups here). In May we should be able to get it on a weekend that doesn't conflict with fight club or capture the flag. Can't wait to see a lot of you there.

[Military Sergeants]
It looks like I'm joining your ranks as the new sergeant of Charlie squad. I think I know most of you at least a bit since I've been here for awhile now, but I'm looking forward to working with you. I know previously we had some friendly competitions and such going between the squads and I'd love to get that back up and running.

Looking forward to working with all of you.


[Soldiers: Charlie Squad - Mikasa, Obi-Wan, Jenny, Stacker, Edmund]
With Sgt. Pentaghast's departure, command saw fit to put me in charge. It's an honor. I've fought with many of you in the past few battles, and personnaly, I think we're an awesome squad. Some of you might thing I'm too young for the job, but at home I was praetor, in charge of leading and training over 200 troops of Roman demi-gods and legacies. I think you know that I'm tough but fair.

Some of you have probably noticed that Edmund and I are in a relationship. I do not intend to treat him any differently than the rest of you, but I realize some of you may have a problem with this. If you do, please let me know and we'll work out a solution. Edmund and I both believe the squad comes first and he's volunteered to transfer if people think that would be best. For those that have been here awhile, this isn't the first time something like this has happened here, and people were able to separate things out.

My door's always open if any of you want to chat or have any suggestions. You know your strengths and weakness better than others.


[Nico]
So things got sorted with Edmund. And I'm now a sergeant. Not quite praetor, but still. Hopefully I don't mess this up.


I told Edmund what happened with my dad.


Why do I the urge to cook a big multi-course Italian-PuertoRican meal for our friends/family?

Seeker Cassandra Pentaghast has left us. Vanished in the normal way, as I was sparring with her.

I would like to formally recommend that Sgt. Aclassi retain his rank and take over leadership of Charlie Squad in Sgt. Pentaghast's absence.

I am not alone. Even
As I stumble on the path
With my eyes closed, yet I see
The Light is here.

Draw your last breath, my friends.

Rest at the Maker's right hand,
And be Forgiven.

So here's a public service announcement I never imagined I'd be making: I'm seriously not a terrible person, I promise. I'm a (reformed) liar, not a cheater (except maybe in cards on occasion). Please don't continue hating me from a distance. Or, in one particular case, from very close while I'm sleeping. (Attention: Malia) End PSA.

I wavered on whether or not I wanted to weigh in, or if I was even ready to do so, but I feel like I should as both a close friend of the person responsible and one of those affected by what she did.

The next time one of you wants to use big magic or a big powerful ability and you're not sure exactly what it will do, don't. There will be consequences for this flagrant misuse of magic, regardless of intent, and you can assume for the immediate future that I am not the authority figure to come to with your sad little feelings about how intent somehow negates consequences just because one of you could be the next ones to fuck it up.

This isn't prejudice. This isn't someone who's anti-magic cracking down on anyone. This is a powerful mage reminding you all that magic has its price, that anybody using magic or powers has a responsibility to use them in a way that does the least amount of harm to innocent people. We were given gifts, whether through accidents of birth or circumstance or through our own desires, and those gifts come with a significant burden. There are people here who could lobotomize the population, who could crush the mountain in a bad temper, or who could tear this place apart in a moment of unbridled power. It's our responsibility to make sure that those things don't happen, either intentionally or by accident, and it is our fault when mistakes happen.

As a Council member, I can promise you that charges will be pressed and that every police report filed about this incident will be taken into account. If you've suffered any kind of physical or psychological trauma as a result of the last three weeks, set up a time with anyone working in Law Enforcement who was not also a victim of this magic; it will take some time to get all of them squared away with the reparation efforts going on from the goblin attack that we missed, but you will be listened to and justice will be served, I swear it.

As a person who has had her mind and her life thoroughly fucked with recently, if you can't find me for whatever reason in the immediate future, you can assume I'm elbow-deep in none-of-your-business and not interested in receiving any visitors.


ETA: Because people keep asking this as if I'm calling for blood: yes, of course intent will matter when charges are eventually leveled. I'm saying that damage was done regardless of whether or not it was intended to. The idea that actions have consequences should not be nearly as surprising as it appears to be.

And no, of course nobody is in any danger here. We do not physically punish or kill the guilty in this community, as per the legal system we were asked to create. I'm promising justice and an application of the court system we've created, not a goddamn witch hunt, and if you read "witch hunt" from "charges will be pressed", then that's a personal perception you need to work on, because that is not what I said. Not even a little.

I find it very distressing how much focus is going into making excuses for someone who cast awful magic and hurt others than is going into having some compassion for the people she hurt, especially when she's admitted that she did cause harm. Respect her honesty enough to take the damage seriously instead of trying to act as if it's less severe just because she feels bad about it.

Saluti, Mount Weather. I am Claudia Auditore, and I arrived this morning with my daughter, Giuliana. We are far from home, which is Italy - though if you know my brother Ezio, you likely already knew that of me.

I am to be a teacher, here, and I have a great deal of experience imparting knowledge to children and women. For instance, the last several years I have been Madame of the most popular brothel in Roma, and the ladies there have benefited greatly from my studies. I am told you lack the brothel, so I shall be content to teach the knowledge to the children instead.


And anything you might have heard from my brother is likely untrue or exaggerated, he is a terrible storyteller. I also feel much sympathy if you had to listen to any tales of his romantic life, he likes to go on and on about it.

Ah, yes, welcome back me. I do hope Mr. Porter will forgive me for encouraging his students to blow up half the school. It wasn't as though it was me doing the persuading now, was it? Can you believe I played the bagpipes at my mother's funeral? Now, there's a story for the memory books, if there ever was one.




Looks like you managed to take down half the mountain while we were off having a lovely time. So, I suppose that indoor pond will have to wait. And I'll be having a word with Tolkien if he ever shows about the destructive nature of his orcs.

Hiiii. I'm Judy Hopps. Officer Judy Hopps. I wasn't really expecting to wake up — here. I thooooought maybe I stepped on the wrong train and got off in Rainforest District, but this doesn't look like a rainforest at all. Lots of green, kind of wet, but not a rainforest.

Then they tell me I'm on Earth, but no one here looks like any animal I know at all. Never seen anyone like — what are you called? Forgive me if that sounds rude or unthinking, I've just never seen anything like you.

Dead sorry about missing the battle. Evie and I are sorting out times for Fight Club. We'll let you know when's the next time available to hit the stuffing out of each other.

Right then, what next? Suppose there's to be some sort of poking around about the magic that sent us off, yeah? Defer to the magic-users on the specifics; I wouldn't know a rabbit from a hat, and my standing about and glowering's no help to anyone.

Besides that, moving forward. We've had what, three times spells have gone belly up? Isn't right. There's got to be some sort of process in place when doing big magic? Someone to check with at the least? If not, well. Let's do it, let's have a civilization, and all the legal processes that entails, God help us.

So how do we get started?
