The 100; a panfandom game

Holy end of the world, Batman!

But seriously. There has to be a bar.

Someone tell me there's a bar and some hot guys to ogle, and I'll be happy. For the night.

So I kind of unabashedly love Dirty Dancing and may or may not have had a crush on Patrick Swayze through my formative years because of it. He's like the wind.

Movie night makes me miss being able to go to movie premieres and stuff. Not that there was as much time to do so over the last while back home, but still.

Yesterday was kind of exhausting, right? Glad it seems to have stopped. I'll miss Elsa. She was nice. They all leave eventu

The rest of you are here, right? And by the rest of you, I mean those people I've gotten to know and who are awesome.

TRISH WALKER

So I don't know that I really can completely qualify for your AA thing, because of the werewolf thing, but I'd like to come if I could. Is that okay?

Well. That started out shockingly awesome and ended up kind of embarrassing.

Which kind of seems like my life in a nutshell.

But man, I like Fight Club.

MEDICAL

There was someone who wanted to try to fix my messed up healing. I can't remember who it was, but I know there was someone. Ring any bells?

I'm healing through some bumps and bruises from today, so I figured it'd be a good time to take a look.

Singles' Night was fun, but I wouldn't say it got the job done. Too much happening at once, and then we all drank too much and danced too long. I've been sore since Saturday.

RIGHT. SO. Take this, then:

Name: Donna Noble
Age: Old enough to know what I want
Orientation: Men only, please!
Looking For: Long-term relationship (negotiable)

Things About Me: From Chiswick, able to type 100+ words/minute, love taste-testing new flavours of snack foods, love trash mags, love travel, and maybe-just-maybe saved the universe that one time. Also known as 'most important woman in the universe', so consider that.

Things About You: Single, on the bigger side, taller than me, age 25-50, not working with an ancient race of spider aliens, won't talk over me, won't talk down to me, likes to give gifts, likes adventure, likes me more than adventure, gives good foot rubs. **ADDENDUM: NOT THE DEVIL.

All inquiries can be directed to me, Donna Noble, online and in person.

So when I was a kid, my dad used to do this thing where he'd have my brother and me come up with the best-worst jokes we possibly could and compete to see who could make him laugh. This was mostly a 'shut the fuck up and let me drink in peace,' mostly because he'd be passed out by the time we actually came up with something to give him, but Cam always always won. (Winning was usually decided by whoever Dad didn't throw hi grunted at least aggressively first.) I usually just spent too much time messing around and pulled something out of a stupid joke book -- Cam was the funnier one.

When I was in Paris, I heard one that I thought was pretty great in exactly the dumb way I always liked as a kid. "Two cats are competing in a race across a river. One is American, called One-Two-Three, and the other is French, called Un-Deux-Trois. Only the American one made it across, unfortunately -- Un-Deux-Trois cat sank."

I'm not sure what made me think of this, but here we are.

Are you responsible for the very Isaac-shaped ice sculpture? Because it's most definitely the coolest I've ever looked, pun intended.

So. Lent in the Apocalypse - entirely excessive? Borderline ridiculous? Or I am officially a terrible Catholic for failing before the second day was out?

Actually, forget the last part. It's possible I nailed that coffin shut when I tried to assassinate the Pope inside the Sistine Chapel.

(For the record, he was a vile excuse for a human being, and his equally dispicable son did the honors eventually. But still.)

Claire's post got me thinking... Wow, I miss Reese's. But then this morning, I learned the joy of having to sharpen the last two inches of my eyeliner pencil with a knife. My mascara dried up like, two months ago, and my Nars lip gloss is on it's last legs.

I miss Sephora.

If anyone feels the need to rain on my parade, and talk about how there's bgger things in life to worry about, blah, blah noble superhero shit, I will make your eardrums bleed. People need creature comforts, and $30 eyeliner just happens to be mine. Join in on the commiserate instead, okay? What dumb item do you miss from home that while you can completely live without, life just isn't the same? (I think 'vibrators' goes without saying, but by all means.)

Being here instead of at home for holidays hasn't really gotten to me yet, although it was l which probably has a lot to do with always working on holidays and having to celebrate at odd hours, like 8 am breakfast dates after overnight shifts where I'm half asleep and not paying attention, or bouquets of roses and weird gifts from former patients.

Anyway. Turns out what does bother me are things like missing the day-after sales on candy. I might start believing in this Pod God if he or she sent us something good. Just an idea, if anyone up there's reading what we're saying down here.

Hope all you lovebirds had a good weekend and remembered everything Ravi and I taught you. If you need one of us, you know where to find me.

JACOB FRYE:

Feeling better?

People are so annoying to me. This weekend I got a lot of "you're very cute but a little young for me". This is a general announcement that I'm 18ish, and therefore an adult and capable of making my own decisions about having sex and relationships. I don't understand why people get uncomfortable about age differences. Do they think that I'm immature because I'm not some magic number? And that I will become mature on a specific birthday?

I've gone through a lot. I was a coyote for seven years after I ate my mom and sister. I was targeted by assassins. I took algebra in summer school. Horrible stuff like that. And I say 18ish because I don't know how coyotes age or if my time spent as one "counted".

Is it a "take advantage of a younger person" thing? Because if someone tries to take advantage of me, I'll just kill them. See? You can totally date me now.

I don't care if people aren't interested in me because they think I'm weird. That's their poor life decision that they will later regret, because I'm an awesome girlfriend. But I don't understand why people get hung up over age. Can someone explain it to me in a way that will help me no longer think you're all being stupid?

{Edited to Add] Lydia suggested that I get to know someone before I date them and find true love. Please apply for consideration here.

In the interest of condensing the romantic well-wishes to as small a virtual area as possible, I've created a haven for Valentines Day messages. For those of you who are loud, proud, and uncomplicated, you can sign in with your network handle and password and leave messages for your sweetie and friends. For those of you like me who do better pining from afar, you can also send anonymous messages. I've left two examples open so you can see what it looks like.

All messages (besides the two examples I created) can only be seen by the sender and the recipient. And me, obviously, but I'd rather french-kiss an electric socket than spy on your nausea-inducing flutterings. The Mount Weather Valentines Day cache is open from now until 2/17.

Questions for me? Comments? Declarations of love? Boy, do I have website for you.

[ Please excuse any errors! This message was sent while flying the Catherdrone. ]

Is there something happening?

Lydia looks like she's going to scream. She only does that when someone dies, and now they won't let me go outside to hunt. Is someone dying outside? Who is it? All my friends are here so it's not anyone I care about, but someone else might care about them.

What's going on?

MILITARY & COMMAND:

Surveillance spotted three disturbances just outside our perimeter. To the north, our intel indicates the presence of four frost giants. East south east, roughly 100 robots. West, orcs.

We're taking volunteers from our military ranks to form three separate teams to handle this. These teams will investigate the disturbances, and defend our home. From what I've been told about what's out there, you should expect hostility. The remaining military will then be assigned to the second and third lines of defense, as well as guard posts, to ensure all of the civilians within our walls are safe. You'll provide back-up, if necessary. Listen to your commanders' orders.

It should go without saying, but until we tell you otherwise, this information is strictly classified. There is no need to incite panic among the rest of the population if we can take care of this at a distance, and I have faith that we can. If these threats make it past our front line, we'll handle it. For now, we're concentrating on making sure they don't get close enough to breach our walls in the first place.

[ooc: remember, only the volunteers designated on this post will be on the first teams out; everyone else will be assigned other jobs!]

I know we have movies on Saturday nights, but since there's quite a lot of people here who came from similar worlds at a similar time there are some movies we all grew up knowing very, very well. Daisy's post was a reference to one of those, The Princess Bride, which I'd like to show tomorrow night. There should be room to one end of the 501 commons so we won't need to clear the mess hall. If needs be I can set up an extra monitor or two and sync the video.

(Parents: The Princess Bride is child-friendly down to about maybe 8 or 10?)

If there's enough interest I found a few more movies from around the same time that we could watch on future nights - including Labyrinth, The Never-Ending Story, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Gremlins, Teen Wolf, The Lost Boys, and the movie version of the community theatre club's upcoming show, Little Shop of Horrors. I could probably arrange to play that one just before auditions open.

I have news. One of the most-effective form of weapon enhancements in my home world is known as fire paper. When great friction is applied, this lightweight paper transforms to an extremely volatile, flammable substance that effectively coats ones preferred weapon in flames, adding additional damage and a measureless aspect of intimidation to one's fighting. Once the fire paper has exhausted its burning (usually after a minute or so at longest), the weapon is left free of any coating, as it has burned away in the process of immolation.

I should caution you that the high temperature of the flames act as a cauterizing agent in wounds: while you will undoubtedly cause people great pain (and, depending upon your skill, kill them), their deaths will be a result of your blows and not from bleeding out or infection. Some consequently see fire paper as a mercy in my world. As burns are among the most painful of wounds, I would not be so quick as to call it mercy. Additionally, weapons that have already been magically enhanced cannot use fire paper, so those of you who have enchanted weapons will have to go without.

I have been successful at recreating the formula from my home world, and have begun production of fire paper for our soldiers in the event of fighting. I would be remiss if I did not thank Dame Evie Frye, as she assisted me in testing early versions of the enhancement and aided me greatly when I nearly had my eyebrows singed off.

My next project will be to create bolt paper - same concept, only an electrical charge is added to a weapon rather than fire. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Catherine, I have a surprise for you. :D

Thank you for your help, Isaac! And everyone that went out on little salvaging runs with me, especially in this weather. I managed extra materials for the communication devices, though I still want to look into something more.. um. Reliable. Better? I might start seeing about replicating omni-tools, but I don't know if it's something I can do without all of my gear. And I miss eezo.

FILTERED TO COSIMA:

Dancing?

So they got a movie night goin' on Saturdays, and I was thinkin' maybe we could get a group together who could see the movie, then go over to the tavern. Get to know one another and the like. I don't know what The Notebook's about, but it can't be any worse than Alliance stories.

At least cold showers wake you up faster? I guess? Is that positive enough? Optimism isn't always my thing.

I think they're also pretty decent for your skin.

And that's the end of my positivity for the day. Thank you, and goodnight.

I hate this time of yea Sorry to hear about the cold water. I'm sure everyone's doing what they can to make sure it's fixed in a prompt manner. Going without a shower for a day or two won't kill you; in fact most scientists agree that showering every day will irritate dry skin and cause your body to produce excessive amounts of sebum in the scalp, which results in oily hair and dandruff. You're much better off showering every three days or every other day, if you must, unless your work produces a lot of sweat.

But then again, I can't smell you anyway, so I don't really care.

I was recently able to acquire a very functional shirt made of an unfamiliar material that was referred to as 'flannel'. Very soft, quite warm. While I don't abide by the idea of the Pod Gods, nor am I particularly impressed by the frozen squirrel that was recently shoved in my face accompanied by a fanatic shrieking at me to "BELIEVE", whatever forces are governing this world at least do provide a variety of items with which to pad our stack.

Although the reasoning behind spectacles sans prescription is eluding me.

Chess club, I am somewhat new to your game. Ms. Frye has taught me the basics; if it is allowed, might I sit in and watch your games tonight?

One extremely cobbled-together batch of beast incense, left in your laboratory for study! Consider it a bouquet in honour of the debut of your upcoming class. Good luck!

Regarding the bouquet, it's missing one vital ingredient: moonflowers, or as we call them back home, Lumenflowers. It's far too cold at the moment for them to grow, but if I see any on my journeys I will procure them and bring them to you. Otherwise, it is as it was back home, or as close as I am able to manage it.
