the displaced; ic

In today's news: I nearly fell down the stairs. I stepped on the leg of my pajama pants. I feel like I am a danger to mostly just myself. Luckily, I did not actually fall down the stairs, just backwards.

It’s been a while since I’ve had fresh air. Or not really, but everything's a mess in my head again.

Either way, here now.

So, this is really nice and all, but Aerith's gonna kill me. I was supposed to have Angel changed and down for a nap by six (PM, not AM), but now it's eight in the morning somehow, and we're not even in the right state. And Cloud's made a mess on my shoulder twice. And I've been up since 0200 hours, which wasn't such a big deal when I was in the army but it is when you have a baby and just ...

Help?

I went through a portal! It was a hoot!

From what I’ve been able to learn:

1953: Officially: meteor shower incident, Unofficially: that’s when giant metal pods fell out of the sky.

Also during this time the military set up shop, ⅓ of the Tumbleweed population died of some sort of contagion (otherwise known as water with lethal levels of lead in it). After that there have been various gas leaks every few years or so, varied reports of wild dogs taking to the streets once a month, gangs on PCP attacking every now and then, and the town undergoing quarantine or evacuation a few times over the years.

May 1962: town under quarantine for a month (said to be because of algae in the newly networked water supply)

January 1976: town evacuated for a week (train crash dumped toxic waste in the area that needed to be cleaned up)

October 1979: town evacuated for a week (toxic fumes coming from the new sewer system)

December 1985: town under quarantine (deadly strain of the flu)

September 1999: Local high school blown up by gas leak

December 1999: town evacuated again (truck crash outside of town dumped toxic waste into the streets and water supply). Was evacuated for two months. This corresponds with the attack on the base.

I’m not entirely sure what the real story is behind each of those incidents but if the military kept records (which its the military, they should have) there should be more information related to those incidents and what the actual threat was to the town at the time.

Who wants to be my second (or third, fourth, fifth) test subject for a teleporting bracelet?

The first one being me. And it worked, otherwise I wouldn't be asking you.

FILTERED TO EVERYONE WHO ATTENDED FEN'S WELCOME PARTY

Thank you all for coming on Friday. It meant a lot to me, and I'm sure Fen as well, that you were willing to come welcome her to our community. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves.

FILTER TO JOHANNA MASON

You know, Murphy was included in the invitation.

FILTER TO BETSY BRADDOCK AND WARREN WORTHINGTON

I was wanting to speak to you both about Megan. Would it be alright if I took her on a field trip for a week near the end of the semester? It would be taking place on the Island that Rogue has created and, if you give permission, will be serving not only as a field trip but a final project for what we've been working on with her magic studies this year.

FILTER TO PIXIE

How do you feel about a field trip for a final instead of an actual final?

[Private to Damian Wayne]

Hey, so ... I haven't really asked. You okay?

Childish Gambino is excellence.

Funny thing about memory potions to keep you from losing other body parts: they also keep you from getting body parts replaced. Guess I'm stuck as a fucking cyclops.

Does anyone here have a token from their home world that they would be willing to lend me?

Probably something you're not too attached to, just in case.

[Stephen Strange and Sam Winchester]

My thanks to you both.

What do you think of this bank robbery idea of Solo's?

[Eliot Waugh]

( not an ic cut )

Every science fiction movie I've ever seen promised me new and exotic worlds when portals were involved. I feel incredibly let down right now. Betrayed even, maybe a little insulted. Maybe it was accidentally clicking my boot heels in my sleep three times.

Anyway. Name's Riggs.
