The 100; a panfandom game

[Ravi]
I do like chocolate covered strawberries. I also recently lost my roommate, so Major won't have to worry about being kicked out.

How are things?

[Acquaintances who Fight Club, -Matt]
Anyone feel like sparring? Elektra's here and Ravi's busy trying to make his friend not die and every time I think I've made sense of things I get I could really use a distraction.

>> I need a word with you.

You know, I actually genuinely miss woodworking. It was always a half-assed hobby, for when I had the time, but I miss it. Guess I could put that to use with these settlements.

How's it going, Swan? Hanging in there okay?

[Ravi]
Looks like I'm going to have a big project of my own soon. Which is not to be interpreted as running off. I'm still here.

Are you making any progress?

Today the Council was called into session to discuss establishing settlements in four of our most trafficked areas on Skaikru land. Not only trafficked the most by us but by the Grounders in nearby areas. Mount Weather, or The Mountain, as they call it has been host to horrors for their people and they are, understandably, superstitious about it. If we're to begin trading with them, we should bring ourselves closer to them.

And let's face it, being packed in here like sardines isn't doing anything to alleviate tensions.

Effective immediately, we're starting with the two most important points along our borders that we'll need: the river and the North pass. The North pass will need more military hands, due to the increasing threat from Azgeda, the Ice Nation. The river community will have to contend with sand and sinking which will pose its own challenges.

Each settlement will have at least the following:

• a military stronghold of some sort. These will likely not be massive buildings such a large fort, but will have those higher points for look-outs, weapons caches, and a small barracks for round the clock military accessibility. We had facilities at home called Fire Departments that ran in a similar way, only they were devoted to putting out fires in their particular area.
  
• A medical facility. This will not be a medical war the way Mount Weather has, and getting the equipment that we have in medical will prove difficult, but we want at least one doctor at each settlement and a clinic of sorts.
  
• A trading post. A building in which Grounders and Skaikru alike can trade between settlements for the things they need.
  
• A small law enforcement area including two cells in case they're needed.

Two committees for the sites are being formed as we speak, and any and all input into those sites will be carefully discussed to make sure that we have all the planning created before we begin heading out.

ASALA ADAAR & ROGUE (616):

Adaar, it's the obvious choice to offer you the lead on the military establishment to the north. It is rougher area than the other sites, and there are many potential pitfalls with Azgeda around. I know that you've recently stepped down as chancellor, so when your name was tossed around, I wasn't sure if you'd be interested.

Rogue, you're a natural leader among your people, and with the abilities at your disposal, I believe that you could form a team that would be up for the challenges that riverside might bring about. Is that something you'd be up for?

Is anyone else getting the feeling that someone went "oh, you thought the Emma Swan debacle was a witch hunt? We'll show you a witch hunt"?

If you were wondering what life felt like just before the Sentinel program started, this was it.

I feel the need to say something for the safety of our community.

And before anyone starts in on me for being anonymous, I want you to stop and think about the fact that the punishment for treason is execution. We haven’t been down here long, and I don’t like the way things have been going, and I don’t want to find a gun at the back of my head because I said the wrong thing and somebody in charge decides it’s part of a plot.

So here it is: I don’t think getting tied this closely to the Grounders is a good idea.

Their first response to seeing us, when all we did was land, was to attack. Not “hey there,” not even “who the hell are you?” They rolled up and kidnapped a kid and left him to die on a tree. That’s their idea of a warning. They’ve shown signs over and over of being a brutal culture. This whole “blood must have blood” thing? That’s really something we want to be part of? I thought we were supposed to be moving away from the whole Ark philosophy of “you screwed up, now you’re dead.” Finn Collins should have been brought to justice, but not like that. The person who gave scared teenagers guns and thought they’d make good decisions with them should have been brought to justice, too, but you know we’re not going to see that happen. The Grounders decide who’s guilty, and then the Grounders torture them to death unless somebody steps in with a mercy killing. Looks to me like if we join up with the Grounders, we subject ourselves to their laws, and those laws don’t look like they have anything to do with justice. They’re about revenge. I don’t want to see any more kids die because adults put them in a situation there was no getting out of.

And that’s not even touching on how we ended up here at Mount Weather.

The Grounders do not, and will never, consider us their people. It doesn’t matter how much we try to fall in line with them. Even when we have the exact same goal, they don’t give a damn for us. They were willing to let our kids be drained of every single drop of their blood to get their own people back. They trusted the Mountain Men, who they had fought for years and years, to keep their word rather than trusting us to get in. We can learn their language and follow their rules and stick to their borders all we want, but when it comes down to it, they’re always going to sell us out if it benefits them. Right now Trikru hates Azgeda, but if there’s another enemy out there, they’ll still pick Azgeda over us. They like us when we’re convenient, and they’ll kill us when we’re not.

This alliance is a mistake. Honestly, the best thing we could do is get some of these Pod people who can travel long distances easily to help us find a genuinely uninhabited place where we can start over and get the hell out of here. No alliance with the Grounders is ever going to get us anything but death.

For those of you who knew her, Jessica Jones has disappeared. No need to look for her; we were speaking when it happened.

Here's to just pretending the last few months didn't even happen.

TEAM WE DON'T LOVE LUCI + ANYONE ELSE FROM THEDAS, FUCK IT:

We need fresh air and a drink, and I've been hoarding ration tickets for a special occasion. Anyone who wants to hang out outside the blast doors and have a beer with us is welcome to. If your people help my people, I drink with you.

Ravi's got some stuff going on and... traditionally, this is when I start looking up job opportunities in different cities. I don't know how to be a supportive girlfriend.

Hello, everyone. Given what a lot of people experienced with Storybrooke, and what some have gone through back home as well, I wanted to see if there might be any interest in me facilitating a support group for coping with brainwashing, conditioning, and/or possession?

Why a support group? The group setting is a different dynamic from 1-on-1 individual therapy. You're with other people facing similar struggles. Peers share their experiences and support each other. The facilitator is there to keep things moving and give it structure, but the focus is on the group.

Why me? I helped start the Mental Health program here, and I also have a lot of firsthand experience with being brainwashed, conditioned, and possessed at various times of my life aside from Storybrooke. Obviously that's not a good thing to have happened so much, but it's at least taught me a lot about coping with it.

Let me know if you're interested or have any questions. If you'd like to talk about any of these issues but want to do it in an individual setting, I'm available and so are the other Mental Health staff.

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.

Scientists! Hypothetically if someone were to ceremonially burn this Pocahontas doll, would they choke to death on poisonous fumes? Asking for a friend.

I feel like I missed my birthday. I didn't of course, but it didn't mean anything to me there. My family might have been messed up at home, but whether it was my father or Wilson, they always found time to do something.

There is one I haven't missed though. Happy birthday, Matt. I've been under a magic spell and didn't get you anything.

[Friends, roomies]
I need to clear my head, get out of here for a few days. Three, specifically. Since everything's a bit of a mess here I'll stick around to help out for the rest of the day and head out tomorrow. I've got a tracker and I'll leave a map with my planned route and campsite marked, stick within the five mile radius, and bring first aid gear and a flare. I suppose my tablet too in case I want to read, though I'm not sure if it will be able to connect to the network out there or how long the battery will last. You can expect me back about lunchtime on the 21st and start getting worried if I'm not back by sunset.

I do enjoy that the warmer weather means I can do some of my painting outside. Which means the dog gets more outside time. Who knows, I might turn him into a painter as well.

[Ford]

How about coffee or dessert some time. No pressure.

In the "research" phase of this evening, I stumbled onto this buried treasure. You're welcome.

Francis Barton, I'm not sure exactly how, but I'm still fairly certain this is your fault.

Sorry, Steve. I'm going to take this to mean he doesn't show artistic promise?
