[TABLETS AND PHONES REBOOT WITH INCESSANT BEEPING]

By now you're all aware that the ship has stopped. It would appear that we've been hit with an EMP, an electromagnetic pulse. Possibly two. All electronics appear to be off, though the network and tablets have been re-established so we can communicate easier. We're not sure the extent of the damage, but backup generators have not come online so those must have been hit too.

Right now, our priorities should be food and getting the ship back up and running. We have no idea where we are in terms of our next port. It could be a day, it could be two. Without food, two days becomes much longer than you want. Potable water is going to be an issue too. While there are bottled waters, we have no running water. On a ship like this, that means toilets, showers, and sinks will not work. They're all electrical.

If anyone has any skills, magical or otherwise, for keeping food at temperatures to keep it from going bad, that would be fantastic. Food storage, including refrigeration and the freezers are on level C. Medbay is on D. A & B are engine rooms, so that'll be fun to dig through.

Those EMPs came from somewhere and for some reason. I don't want to be caught blindsided. If you're specialized in tech, I'd prefer you working on the ship. If you aren't sure what you can do and want to help, patrols are good. Bucky 2 has a current list, but I think we should have more considering.

If you're down an arm or a leg due to the EMP, let us know. We'll try to get someone to help you as soon as possible.

[Steve Rogers, Bucky Barnes (the oldest two), Clint & Laura Barton, Wanda Maximoff (MCU)]
If baby Bucky forgets his room again it's 112. Diagonal from Wanda and about four down from the Bartons. Doesn't look like he's sharing with anyone so far.


[AvAc Daisy Johnson, Maria Hill, Jan van Dyne]
We found Bucky's room, it's #112.

i bought a postcard with a lone palm tree
silhouetted in the reds of a setting sun
thinking you might miss me
like i do you
but they said you wouldn't even notice me gone

signed wish you were here and bon voyage
til we sail through the next buoyage

--

hey is there a list of what rooms people are staying in??

Excuse me, but I'm having a bit of a panic attack. Again.

Insert preferred vacation destination, comment about alternative afterlife expectations, and complaints about my luggage gone missing.

Priorities first: Where can I get a burger? And then a dossier. I'll try not to get ketchup on it.

I know how to make an entrance, but usually I know a little about what's going on before I get there. Fashionably late.

Am I fashionably late at least?

Oh no, I'm not early, am I???

My mother and father were Irish immigrants. Happy St. Patrick's Day, from the most Irish person on this boat.

I'm pretty sure I missed half the details when I was trying not to get involved because of the whole 'one of my clients' thing, so to be clear, you are currently not seeing anyone, not trying to see anyone, right? And is that a 'going and being social' kind of single or a 'staying home and avoiding anything with romantic implications' kind of single?

[Bucky Barnes (PH)]
Are you still avoiding going out in public?

[Bucky Barnes (MCU)]
I feel like I'm in high school trying to keep track of everyone's love-lives. I'd ask how we're the ones managing to pull off stable relationships but then I realise that in comparison we're really not that bad. (Excluding Clint here. It's still a complete mystery to me how he ended up with all the normal between them two.)

BAM!

[attached Boomerang picture of her twirling in this dress]

I dare my mom to say that I didn't keep up with my family's customs while parading out in another universe, going on adventures and occasionally fighting bad guys when they decide to take your boat.

Nah, but she knows about me being Ms. Marvel. She always knew and I thought I was being sneaky.

Anyway, I'm officially deeming this the best port ever, because I'm reliving my childhood Disney fantasy, even though there wasn't many brown-girl Disney princesses to choose from. I'm just a little sad I didn't actually get to meet an Aladdin or Jasmine. Or the Genie. But the carpet rides are AWESOME. 12/10 would come back here again.

Hey, so, since we're in a place where magic and stuff like that exists. If anyone is working on spells, is there one that could fucking bring back vision?

( Text to T'Challa, pic embedded )

Judging by the alarmist attitudes of people apparently in the know, this isn't a Sherwood Forest or Camelot in the vein of Mel Brooks or Monty Python. Who do we speak to about making that happen?

And I hope we can all agree to the necessity of coming up with a swear jar equivalent or some other punitive measure for anyone who's caught singing that "Let It Go" song from Frozen. I'm guessing corporal punishment is a bit much.

[ FILTERED TO 21+ ]
I need a night out, where I'm being told I'm pretty by a beautiful person and being plied with good wine. Multiple beautiful people encouraged and welcomed.

EDIT: Captain America (the single one), your presence & services are required at the Meridian Lounge tonight.

Vision was sent home. Again

No, I am not okay, nor do I wish to discuss it. I will be on the main deck tending to my plants. No one has to worry about me using my powers and hurting someone.

[Filter: Padmé Amidala]

I know that we're back on the ship, and we normally have breakfasts, but I don't think I can do that this week. I'm sor

If you want to come by the cabin at any point though then I'll be there.

[Filter: Mom]
[Filter: Sam Wilson (616)]

I Do you have extra time this week?

For those of you with inquiring minds, the room service in the brig leaves much to be desired. Also, pack a toothbrush.

[Avengers Mansion people]
Do we need a distraction, and is it gonna run more violent or more (non-violent) fun?

Another space portal. Let's not do that again.

Sentient nursebots, huh? I know what it looks like, but this one's not on me. Seriously, though. Someone has dramatically upped their LMD game. What are we talking, here? Thing 1 and Thing 2 are not particularly forthcoming. Programming could use some work.

So tell me, who else is on the guest list for this involuntary pleasure cruise? And is there scotch?

Hypothetical question. If someone wanted to speak to someone about issues, where would they go? Is there like a professional or a head doctor? Not like physical issues, the other kind.

Seems chugging as much Elven wine as you can has turned into an Olympic sport. Y'all remember that there were Olympics about to happen back in Tumbleweed? I really wanted to see figure skating and snowboarding. Guess we get to go back and watch clips.

Anyway, a whole lot of you guys are going to be aching when you get back on this ship, desperate for Elven wine you can't get anymore, so take it slower. That stuff's potent.

[Sam Wilson, Steve Rogers, Bucky (PH), and Tina Cohen-Chang EDITED TO ADD: Bucky 1 and Natasha Romanoff]

[Have some lovely footage of drunk Bucky (PH) on the floor from last night.]

You're welcome.

Please help ensure that he is a dwarf for the rest of the weekend.

Also we are heading to the Shire for pizza. All of you are coming.

[Friends]
Well this'll be somewhat less of a worry now. I was able to get my hands on one of those fancy mithril shirt thingies.

So, hey. I'm here. The Hulk is gone for now I've read up on the conversations people tried to have with the Other Guy, but to be honest, I can't remember any of it.

Middle Earth, huh?

WHERE IS HULK! THIS NOT THOR'S SPACESHIP! IS THIS SAKAAR?! HULK SMASH GRANDMASTER!

[ETA OOC: All conversations with Hulk in this post happen on Tuesday evening, since Hulk has now turned back into Bruce]

AVENGERS MANSION FOLKS:

Keep in contact. I'll have all comms open in case anyone needs me. We can assemble if anyone needs help.

Maybe the last day, we could try the Green Dragon in the Shire for food and drinks together?

BUCKY BARNES MCU:

Venturing off on our own for a few days? Kind of eager to see Lothlorien, but I think I vaguely remember something about magic protecting it from evil. It's a little murky when it comes to unpleasant histories though.

Filter: Sam Wilson (616) (also obviously voice-to-text)

Can we talk? Just on this thing, not, like, tomorrow or something, because I'm sure you're gonna be out in Middle Earth and wouldn't want work to get in the way and all. Just figured we could do it over this. Now if you're not too busy.

[#320 suite: Misty Knight, Kamala Khan, Lillie]
Since this place is so big I'd like to know roughly where you're planning to head each day. I won't make you come back to the ship every night but if you stay out, warn me and give me a good enough location for a search party.

And remember you have to get your report done at some point.

[MCU + Avengers Mansion + Friends]

It has been more than a month since we all shared a meal together, and some who have arrived haven't had that opportunity at all. I propose we all meet for dinner tomorrow evening.

Okay, so, not including the giant sea monster and its' army that wanted to kill us.. but everything about this trip has been so fascinating! It isn't the Spirit World which I only caught a glimpse of and I would have loved to see that, but I'm really not at all disappointed.

The mechanics behind this thing we're on seems exceptional! I've never seen anything as big as this even though we had plenty of new designs for vehicles in the works at my company. I'm honestly curious to see how your world's cars must be like!


Also, are all your pets really just normal one-animal pets? I have yet to see anyone with a cat owl or a deer dog.

So, what's a good time of day to start getting back into running without being cruelly trolled by superpowered jerks? 🙃😎🏃🏾

[Meetra Surik]

You'd said something before about pointers.

[Sam Wilson 616]

Hi.

Quentin said that you would talk to people about stuff.

Now that we're on board and back to normal activities, I want to express my sincere sympathy for those badly injured. You did a good job, and I hope you are feeling better soon.

If there's anything I can do for any of you, let me know.

[Misty Knight, Kamala Khan, Lillie]
You guys wanna go see Muppet Treasure Island tonight?

They are actually showing Muppet Treasure Island tonight. This is excellent news. Okay, most of the upcoming movies are basically pretty good, but Muppet Treasure Island. Steve, do you

[ooc: done with permission :D]

So all medbay and no play makes Tony something something (that something being bored and happy for visitors). Which means I might be a little too nosey, so, anyways...

Paging everyone, does this look belong to some other universe that isn't the huge ass Marvelicious one:

[attached picture of Rhodey from across the medbay]

Asking for a friend. That friend being me.

I may actually kiss T'Challa next time I see him.


( Unfiltered, cut for length, discussion about signs of trauma and recovery )

HELLO ALL.

Please check in here to let your friends and family you're safe when you get the chance. And if you know if someone is out there fighting, try to check in for them here and let us know where they might be so we can have our ambulances circle around there periodically.

If you are acting as an ambulance, let us know here so we know who to depend on. If you're working in triage, let us know. And if you require assistance, say so. And as Ianto pointed out, this isn't just for medical assistance. If you need a fighter to your location, say so.

IANTO? Am I missing anything, man?

[Scouting Party + Flyers]

Bucky has asked that we take a sweep of the area to find a suitable location for us to evacuate the noncombatants off ship. We'd rather get this done asap, can you check in here if you're good to go and we'll set up a couple of teams.

I think we've been all noticing something off the past few days, but there's been an increased Atlantean military presence along the coastline since yesterday.

I've talked to a few of them and I'm getting some standard bullshit like "Military training exercises" and that there's nothing to worry about, but I'm officially calling it: I'm concerned and we need to get our ducks in a row.

[ EDIT: FILTERED TO STEVE ROGERS ]
Hey, I'm hoping to call a time out on the break until this situation is resolved. I don't want to go through other people to make sure you're okay.


EDIT: If you want to help, flyers go see Ray, swimmers see Remy, and magic users go to Eliot.

[Bucky Barnes (PH)]
Feeling any better?

[Steve Rogers]
Haven't seen much of you this weekend.

Do you guys wanna grab dinner with new Bucky and his friends from Hawai'i this week? Probably Tuesday, maybe Thursday.

Found the tavern. Someone come get me for when it's time for me to patrol.

[ FILTERED TO TINA COHEN-CHANG ]
So. I fucked up. Remind me to stop doing that, will you?

[ooc; Triggers for talk of death, depression, and suicide in comments.]

Happy birthday, Misty.

[Misty Knight]
Picnic somewhere scenic and quiet?

[Spider-Gwen]
It looks like the surface city should be fairly safe, but I can scout it out on Friday and make sure there's no real wildlife, see how much it looks like a normal town, that sort of thing. The shopping district, museums and library might be okay if you want to ease into it.

I'm looking forward to seeing Atlantis. I wonder if Arthur will be there...

Since we've mostly got our battle plans sorted I want to talk about evacuations as well. There's getting to be a lot of us and in a crisis things get confusing so knowing in advance what to do will go a long way to making sure it goes right.

• Almost all the time when an evacuation alert goes out there's not going to be time to do much except get to the lifeboats on Deck 6. You should probably check where they are at some point so you know where you're going.
• A lot of us have pets and I know no one wants to leave them behind. If they're out with you that's not much of a problem but otherwise you should pick one person per suite to go and grab them if there's enough time. We have to be realistic that sometimes there won't be, and I'm not just saying that for everyone else - I always have at least my budgies that are confined to their cage and sometimes my Eevee stays behind too.
• Relatedly, Rogue suggested that it might be a good idea to pack a go bag for emergencies so that if there is a little more time you can grab it instead of trying to figure out in the moment what to bring. You shouldn't need to worry about food and things, so it's better to pack light so we don't take up too much space. A few clothes, medications, things you really don't want to leave behind.

Now the important bit, not leaving anyone behind. We need a way to know who's already boarded a lifeboat and who hasn't, which Tony should be able to do using the bracelets. (I'm assuming?) We also need a couple of people for each floor who can do a quick sweep to make sure everyone's left and to make sure the lifeboats are boarded efficiently. You will most likely be the last people to leave, so keep that in mind. For floors 1-4 and 7-10 that'll probably be banging on doors, for the others a quick check of all the public areas. Then when that's done, get to Deck 6 to help load.

I've only evacuated towns and cities before so please weigh in on any of this ^ if you think there's a better way of doing things. And if you want to be a floor monitor or floor captain or whatever, sign up here. 18+, minors should go directly to the lifeboats. Everyone else make sure you know who's responsible for the floors you spend most time on.

adding: Since each accommodation deck has their own lifeboat, based on Anakin's experience it's best to stick to what's been assigned. People responsible for clearing the matching floors will also have the final call on when to launch, even if someone's missing. So, make sure you have a decent idea of who should be there and make note of whether any of them are clearing public decks and can be expected to take a little longer. Tech, I'd still like a way to check people off as they board lifeboats if we can so we know if anyone hasn't turned up. The way people come and go it's going to be more reliable than memory.

Other things people have pointed out
• Make sure your floor coordinators know who's in charge of fetching pets so they can expect who'll be around
• There was talk about swimming lessons for anyone who doesn't know how which I would definitely recommend, having literally been marooned on a Caribbean island
• Gansey's going to check with the robots to see if there's a way to teach some people to row. We do have a couple people with water powers which would be the ideal but let's try not to rely on it.

( List of decks )

[AVENGERS, all 'verses]

Do we have a plan for if something goes wrong?

Rogue put together assignments. Everyone should claim a deck if they haven't yet.
