The 100; a panfandom game

I was thinking we could all use a little community-building exercise. DON'T GROAN. This will be fun. Maybe we're not all up to trust falls, but here's an easy one: where are you guys from? Because I know some of you come from some real zany places, and y'know what? Maybe there's someone else around here who used to live up the street and you never knew it.

I'll go first!

I'm from Forest Hills, Queens. A bunch of you probably know where that is, but it's (it was?) part of a place called New York City, which iiiiis... pretty far away from here if you're walking. It has to be about 250 miles north of here? Let's roll with that. We have a baseball team that never wins, some airports, and we're all fluent in the language of Mass Transit. Mostly because you can't leave Queens without taking 2 buses and a subway ride to get wherever you want, and you get really good at figuring out what they're saying on the broken loudspeakers in the stations.

Filter to Dad, Remus, and Sirius

Just to let you know, I'm still here. I haven't disappeared, although sometimes it feels like I have. In work, I mean. I'm surprisingly busy.

Filter to Ginny

Am I doing it again? That thing where I work too much and I'm not there and I turn into a shit dad and husband? Because I don't want to do that again.

Also, we have our live in child-minder back.

Filter to Ron and Hermione

Hullo.

Filter to family (including Potters, Weasleys, most Marauders, and a werewolf)

I think someone mentioned awhile ago that we hadn't had a family do in awhile. It's past time, I think. This Saturday, I think.

[POTTER FOLKS]

I'm alive.

I have an eye patch.

Unpleasant things will happen to you if you call me a goddamn pirate.

Couldn't even get the correct fucking eye, if you can believe my shitty luck.

Long story short, we should drink.

This is so exciting! I really miss Hugo already so much it actually hurts (I was told he's not here?), but this is going to be an exciting adventure! I've always wanted to have one of those. Suuuure, things don't sound super great here. Something about some bloody maries and a werewolf war? (Whaaaaaatttt?) BUT BUT BUT BUT MY POP-POP AND NANA ARE HERE. THE ONE'S I'VE NEVER MET! Aaahhh!

Oh. Oh, right! I'm messing this all up. I'm Lily Luna Potter, the youngest of Harry and Ginny Potter, but please call me Lilu! I need a Weasley/Potter family roll call immediately! And then allllllllll of the hugs! Pronto!

Luna and I are working on something to keep track of everyone. We'll probably keep it simple, so it will show "In Mount Weather", "Outside the Mountain", and "No Longer Here".

We would very much like everyone's cooperation in getting it done. As we will need your presence so we can charm it properly.

And, once it's done, hopefully it will relieve the stress when we can't find someone. Or at least give us some certainty.

For many years, I thought it unlikely that I would ever marry. Templars seldom do, and I had troubles of my own, and it seemed unlikely my life would ever take such a turn.

I am very glad today that I turned out to be wrong. I would have been glad to have more of our friends and family present, but I am immensely grateful for those who were here with us today (especially Asala, who was so kind as to officiate), and if not for the circumstances that forbid the attendance of the others, I would never have met my wife at all.

My wife. It has a very nice sound to it.

Thank you to all of you who celebrate with us today. I cannot think of a better way to begin a new year here on Earth.

So...

Is anyone else feeling weirdly honest?

CLONE CLUB:

Sorry for being so... I dunno, dour over the holiday. Between Sarah being gone and Remus being locked up, it was hard to enjoy.

REMUS:

Hello, you. How're you feeling?

(ooc; it's past midnight where I am, but we're nudging this backwards a few hours. this isn't a truth vomit post.)

My god, this place.

Okay, we need a little cheering up around here. For everyone who celebrates Christmas/Hanukkah/whatever winter holiday, what did you used to do at home? Last year my family stayed up late on Christmas Eve to put presents out for my niece and I got drunk on rum and eggnog while watching White Christmas and Muppet Christmas Carol. I had the worst hangover the next morning, but it was worth it.

( cw: flippant discussion of suicide (he's not serious, but he's crass) )

I'm not sure if I'd say the kitchen is back in 'working order', but we're together enough to be churning out food, so we're calling it a win.

The Mess Hall is not clean enough or safe enough for people to gather in, and I know so many of you are either bedridden or hurting and don't want to haul yourself down here anyway. What we're going to be doing is this: the kitchen staff needs extra help both cooking and cleaning, and then for mealtimes, we're going to set up tables just outside the hospital and at the ends of the residential hallways. I'll do a little magic to get the food on the tables, and then we're going to deliver them to each room and everyone staying in the hospital.

Some of us are well enough to be up and about with helping, so if you're not one of the helpers for the kitchen staff, you'll have to come to the hospital area to get food for now. With everyone so hurt, the Mess Hall is going to take a while to clean up. Bigby's fight with Mary left... I would say most of our tables and chairs broken, not to mention covered in blood. Nothing we can't fix with some magic, I don't think, but it does take time to do that. (I was about to say 'but it's not magic', but it is magic, magic just isn't... you all know what I mean. My point is that our pretty vintage furniture can be salvaged.)


Life Support is still happening this Sunday, but we're going to be meeting in my flat instead (504W) because of the damage in the rest of the mountain.


POTTER CLAN + MARAUDERS:

First of all, are you all alive? (You'd better be.) Check in, please.

Second, I agreed to watch Snow and Bigby's children for a while. Snow is trying to organize everything, and poor Bigby nearly died and isn't in any shape to look after himself, let alone the babies. They float all the time, more or less, so I'm tying them to some table legs in the kitchen so they can hang about while I'm working. Any help to come in and keep them amused would be welcome.

Yesterday, we were beset on all sides by a hideous enemy from my past. No one knows how she got here, but according to some, she's been here for over a month, listening to our conversations, hiding in our mirrors like the calculating schemer that she is. I can't apologize for her appearance though I may desperately want to. Her actions are her own, and it was her actions that caused a great deal of anguish and violence inside Mount Weather. I regret that more than you can possibly know.

I have seen hundreds of years of war. I have witnessed great men and woman cut down in their prime by sadists and evil men. We have all fallen to Earth in our various ways, but we have risen up to stand side by side, though we may have our differences. You have shown your courage, your fortitude, and your unbelievable strength. Without each and every one of you, we could not have survived.

We would not have survived, make no mistake.

Those who turn their pain, anger, and violence toward this community will find themselves faced with an impenetrable wall and spears to their faces. We will not go quietly into the night, but raise hell and take our enemy with us. You have fought too hard and too long for the survival of this community to allow anyone to overrun it for their own purposes

We are not without our losses, though. We have lost many men, women, and children to this adversary. Join the Chancellor, as well as the Councillor's this Sunday morning at Lemkin Cemetery to mourn and honor them.

Since Jessica Moore disappeared, I'm going to take over the Sunday Life Support meetings. Anyone who died back home or knows they're facing it soon is welcome to come; it's just informal group therapy, and you can talk or not talk as much as you want. I bring snacks when rations allow for it.

Private to Remus and James

We got anything planned for Christmas yet?

Has anyone seen Tonks?

[Filter: People who might work with metal]

I am working on putting together an understanding of what ingredients are available for potion making, which, in theory, has the opportunity to assist us in medicines and the like here. But before I can do any testing, I must put my hands on a pewter cauldron. Size two would be helpful (and I can provide dimensions for such a thing), but I can work without the exact dimensions.

The metal, however, and the process by which one is made - those are more difficult. What are the likelihood that we have the materials to make a pewter cauldron?

[Filter: Remus Lupin]

I almost feel guilty that I am unable to make the potion for you.

Filter to James & Remus

Would either of you be willing to help me with my Patronus Charm?

I know that some of you guys are adorably not well-versed in the ways of the internet or how we got to know each other online like, 200 years ago. There were quizzes but one of my favourite things (HELLO HARRY POTTER PEOPLE) was called the "Veritaserum Meme" ... I know, sounds CRAZY right? Well, it's definitely something like crazy. It's like a "Truth or Dare" game without the dare.

Because I don't know you guys yet, but apparently you used to be pals with an old version of me, I figured we could start off all shiny and brand new. I get to find out more about you, you get to find out more about me. So we are going to play the VERITASERUM MEME.

And Mount Weather, you're going to be totally cool about it. We're blizzard buddies. We're going to learn things about each other. No secrets among friends!!

OH NO. You have been given a dose of Veritaserum (basically, this is a thing that makes you tell the truth no matter what). Comment below with your name so that people can ask you questions which you must answer honestly. Feel free to take advantage of other people in a similarly dosed state, too.

[NATHAN WUORNOS]

How are you doing?

[VANCE & POTTER]

Pending approval, we're going dementor tracking.

[HP CHARS]

Stay vigilant and start practicing patronus charms with each other as often as possible. Per Tonk's post, Potter was volunteered for teaching, and that Vance, McGonagall, Lupin and myself are all available for instruction as well. We're lucky there are so many of us here, but that won't mean anything if we're not prepared.

Look, I didn't want to say until the muggle doctors had ruled out any non magical cause. But a day or so ago a man was brought in, cold, staring, scared. No one knew what was wrong but, well, something crossed my mind. With warmth and a bit of chocolate he seemed fine eventually

Later another man same condition, only he didn't wake. He's still just frozen, staring, look of terror on his face.

You all know what I'm thinking don't you?

Dementors.

Merlin, I hope I'm wrong. But there are places still cold. I wanted...I wondered if some of you with more experiance of the things could come and see what you thought of the area before I bring this to the leadership?
