( So are the terms of this bet effective immediately? Or do my goatee and I get to do a farewell tour? )

[There is zero context given to the video Julia has posted to the displaced network. It appears to be vertically filmed cell phone footage of older Tony Stark shaving his goatee to this song. Tony's voice can barely be heard over the audio, but Julia added subtitles: "There's a very real possibility that underneath this is just another beard." She's trying to hold in her snickers behind the camera.]

If you had to, how quickly do you think you could take the wards around my place down? Marina and I are good. I want to know if they could be better. You up for it?

[Tony Stark (MCU)]

I don't remember much from the power swap but apparently I tried to give myself notes on Mark XLII armor? Have you thought about solving the cooling system issue with magic?

Today's definitely looking up. I mean, it could always improve, but whatever. Also watching Netflix has gotten boring, so if anyone has ideas of how to have fun that don't involve sparring or workout routines, I could use a distraction and the company.

( Texts to Julia Wicker )

I find the concept of watching television or films to be a complete waste of one's time, but I am also finding that people keep expecting me to know things, and it is annoying.

Give me your top three films that I should watch to understand popular culture.

I don't need consensus from you, I just want a list, and if there is a consensus, those will be the time-wasters that I began with while I wait for things to brew up.

Penny's gone.

[Cottage + Brakebills]

I received the Truth Key from the portal today. [...] If everyone is in agreement, I thought maybe it could be kept somewhere safely at the cottage in case any of us need access to it for any reason. Sound good?

So actual multiverse weirdness or is this the crappiest version of Valhalla to ever exist?

Because I've gotta say, the welcome wagon for fallen warriors needs significant improvement. Maybe trade up actual shots for the tequila variety. Don't throw people through doors when they get here, oh mysterious forces. Be better greeters.

Is there coffee? Someone tell me there's coffee.

I don't know who I have to thank for my narcissistically delicious breakfast this morning, but thanks.

Do you have a problem if I move to part time? I can help you hire another part time office admin first and divide up our work if that makes it easier for you.

My financial situation isn't as strained as I thought it would be and I want to devote more time to magical research. But if you ever do open up a magical division, let me know?

[Kady]

[...]

[...]

"Its great seeing where we really stand"?

I can't believe you right now.

[...]

If you're going to rob a bank, you might want to consider the fact that the federal government here not only knew about people with powers but how to counteract them and that maybe that's technology that might be in more places than just Tumbleweed.

Whatever. You obviously didn't want me watching your back.

[...]

Where was the need? What was so dire that you would risk a repeat of last time? I took on a full time muggle job to help with everyone's expenses. Can you say with 100% certainty that this world doesn't have its own native magical community?

Don't talk to me about keeping secrets from each other.

[Penny]

I spoke with Strange. He believes you're the only one that can fix your hands. Sort of like a quest situation? That on a kind of magical or cosmic level, no one else is going to be able to find the answer for you. He made a pretty convincing argument.

Obviously if I hear or find something different I'll let you know. But for what it's worth, I think you can do this.

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.

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.

(Edited in Later)

FILTER TO PIXIE

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

[Tony Stark (MCU)]

So I have an idea.

So great news about this trashy lingerie store. There are hidden sex toys. It's lacking in other areas and I don't get why they're hidden (it's a secret shhh), but I guess beggars can't be choosers in this Texas adventure we're on. Plus, they agreed to pay me money, so I guess points for them.

I need a little more leather in my attire. But I can always make a trip to New York or somewhere for that. I may need to rethink all the black, though. This place is hot as shit.

I have the potion we discussed that would protect you from remembering or experiencing the future of your original timeline. I think you should take it. It's yours if you wish.


[Hermione Granger]

Thank you for your work on the pensieve. I have a dose of the potion to give you and I can try to come up with more if needed. I believe you have people that could benefit from not remembering or being physically impacted by their futures. I don't think Regina will be announcing this publicly due to limited supply and trust you'll use your best judgment. Let me know if you're interested in the dose I have and how many more you might require.

After the crick in the last time, you'd think a guy would quit falling asleep in the middle of a book while sitting up. Old books are great until you try to make a pillow out of 'em.

i'm opening up my metal and tech and random crap scrapyard for business so here's an important announcement

NEED GOOD SHIT? WE GOT GOOD SHIT

WANNA TRADE SOME SHIT FOR OTHER SHIT? WE CAN DO THAT (MAYBE)

WE ALSO BUY SHIT AS LONG AS IT'S NOT TOO SHITTY

[...] groot also wants me to mention that his rock collection is open for public viewing so if you like rocks...

we got rocks i guess

[ FILTERED TO THOSE THAT HELPED GATHER INGREDIENTS FOR THE MEMORY POTION * VIEWABLE TO BONNIE/RONAN/LOKI/VALKYRIE/FAMILY ]
Potion works. Margo's not a vegetable because I'm amazing. Any time something tries to physically or mentally update you, you will glow purple briefly - that's the barrier pushing it back.

All of you that helped get the ingredients will get two vials each. Take it, don't take it, I don't care. If you want more, it's not free. Offer something up in exchange and I'll consider it. And no, I'm currently not going to be offering it to the public because I have a limited amount of it.

You can pick your vials up at my storefront tomorrow from noon to 3 PM. Address.

[ FILTERED TO BONNIE/RONAN/LOKI/VALKYRIE/FAMILY ]
So most of you already know about the memory potion I've been working on for awhile now. It works. It won't stop us from getting sent back to our worlds, but it does prevent a person from losing an eye like Margo did or getting memories of a future we're not living.

I intend to take it. My life is here now, I want to experience it without the fear of something forcing another set of memories or physical changes on me. If any of you wish to take it, come see me anytime. I won't force anyone to take it, but I know I like how all of you are and how you're all growing naturally here.

You're looking at the proud manager of The Magic Box. I just finished the interview with Mr Chassé a little while ago. I'm not exactly pleased with needing to find a job. I'd rather focus on my studies and such, but as far as jobs go, this one is not too bad, and what the shop sells matches a lot of my own interests. When Mr Chassé told me that nobody believes in witchcraft in town, I had to bite my tongue.

This job will not distract me from the other projects that I've been working on.

[Friends of Quentin Coldwater]

Q’s birthday is Friday. I was thinking with how crazy things have been and Napoleon throwing a party Thursday, maybe just dinner Friday? Keep it low key and low stress?

Let me know if there’s something else you’d rather do.

Edit: Apparently I can’t read. Plans are changed to lunch. TBD.

Edit 2: Lunch is at 12:30 at [Location].

I woke up this morning with a cat on my face.

In my bed.

In my house that should be at the bottom of the Pacific.

To the soothing voice of J.A.R.V.I.S.

The improbability of each of these facts is staggering, and yet here we are, as if the last four years had never happened. I can live with that. But the cat is another thing entirely.

I guess some of us could use jobs now.

Some of you have been here longer and may be hiring?

I know it doesn't seem like much, and there are other larger concerns happening at the same time, but perhaps we could band together and at least get this small thing out of the way.

Look in the comments below.


HELP WANTED: For anyone running an organization (business, school, church, nonprofit, etc) looking for help. Change the subject to the type of position or skill you're looking for to make it easier for others to find. Job description and number of openings would be helpful.

JOB SEEKING: For all the job hunters out there. Change the subject to a position, skill or relevant education or work experience you have so others can help you network and find a position. Feel free to reply to someone and direct them to a Displaced or Local owned organization that might be a good fit.

OTHER: If you need a loan to start your own organization, or something else not covered by the help wanted and job seeking comments, put it there. Again, changing the subject to some kind of a summary will help others find it faster.

When I said I might take a vacation, this wasn't what I had in mind. Not that I'm complaining.

Does anyone have a swimsuit I can borrow? ... Or is there a nude beach somewhere?

Name's Jim Kirk, by the way.

[Hermione Granger]

Hey, Hermione. Thank you again for all your help. How's the project going?

FRIENDS OF ALICE QUINN:

So the queen's birthday is today.

I was thinking a little late night picnic near the pool. The Garden State soundtrack. A little alcohol. A little food. A little star-gazing. Maybe a little fun magic with lights.

ALICE QUINN:

I'd apologize for not getting you anything for your birthday, but money is meaningless here, and I doubt you want an eyepatch.

For your information, the jelly beans in the basket are not Bernie Bott's. So, the one that looks like the bogie flavor is actually buttered popcorn, and the bright green one isn't grass, it's lime.

These flowers are really beautiful magic.

[Quentin Coldwater]

Hey. How're you holding up?

[Voice to Text]

Did anybody happen to pick up my glasses? I lost them in the fight, and I can't see worth anything without them.

Alright, with the pirates moving the hell on and the ship back in operating order we need to figure out a few things.

How many of ours are hurt?
Do we got any sort of numbers? I know the medbay seemed to be pretty dang packed when I was down there. The robots seem to be back online to work with fixing people but medical personnel what else are y'all needing? Should we continue triage in a separate area for more minor injuries y'all can deal with?

From the doctors: Small things that just need an antiseptic, sutures, or ice and rest can be done in the adjacent areas

Does every kid got someone to go home to right now?
If not we're gonna need to pair them up with people if'n their parents/guardians are hurting. Or keep up the school being a place for them to stick to. If we do that we're gonna need others to stay down there with them.

We'll keep kids at the school until one of their guardians is able to come and retrieve them. Or someone in their guardians place.

Clean Up?
Who's available and NOT needing to be in the medbay or in bed resting to help out with cleanup?

Is all the ship back in order?
Anyone able to help us figure out if'n anything is still offline?

Not available:

Explorer Lounge (5)

Constellation Theater (5)

Pacific Rim (6)

Coffee Bar(6)

The Cafe(6)

I guess now's as good a time as any to ask if anyone needs a brush up on battle magic? Just in case. It's not like we'll be thrown in the brig for it now and we can schedule around helping on the ship if necessary.

[Filtered to Napoleon Solo]

Everyone on your end okay?

Given our current situation, I've taken to watching over medbay with the help of Ray Palmer and Diana Prince.

Anyone with medical experience who is willing to do rounds and would like to offer their assistance, please let me know. This includes doctors, nurses, patient care assistants, anyone within a medical profession who can assess patients or provide patient care.

Additionally, I am in need of someone who has the skills and capabilities to either fix the refrigeration system in medbay or to help create something to keep certain medications refrigerated. Some medications require refrigeration and last a certain amount of time without. If you're willing to help me with this, please let me know.

( Cut for Medbay assignments )

Hey, I haven't heard from you since Agrabah. I haven't done much with potions but I thought this might interest you. Witches where I'm from don't have nearly the same level of materials and ingredients to work with.
