Atlantis. And here I thought they lost it.

How do I put this?

D:

Alright, fellow passengers. Now that I am back on board because you kind of can't stay out in the ocean forever (I mean, I need my sleep too, and I am for certain that Dad's underwater palace is nowhere near so.. SO.. moving on), a couple of things to note:

- I'm not sure if it's legal to fish for things around here or anything but there are actual normal marine wildlife around here. As far as I can see, really. Just do not hunt for sharks. Those poor guys are endangered enough.

- Thanks to my dad, I'm able to usually see or sense navigational lines in the waters. And unfortunately, I can't see them. At least, I can't see the latitudinal or longitudinal lines in these waters. So, I'm about 85% sure that we're not on our Earth's oceans. The remaining 15% wonders if it's just my powers, although the rest of them seem intact. So, hey, even if we were able to steer the ship (which I doubt), we'd not know where to go anyway, unless someone else can sense them.

- You CAN swim in the ocean if you feel like swimming with wildlife but for safety's sake, since these are still mostly unfamiliar territory, I'd suggest letting someone who is a water-related expert here (like myself or Remy although I can only volunteer myself) know first, so you can get back to the ship safely.

That's basically it. I think I'm going to go collapse in the suite now.

Does this mean we're not doing the Veteran's Meetings now? Because everyone's going to be straight up drunk for the next few days? Throwing up for one reason or another?

EDIT

Who the fuck is Ron Weasel?

And does it mean dinner's off?

As of about five minutes ago, I've closed down the portal between Tumbleweed and Homewood, California. I left it open in the event anyone needed to go back for any reason. But, since it is closed now, if you find you left something behind or need to travel there, I'd suggest reaching out to someone who can teleport. I know of several in our community who've mentioned their services being available and in the event you aren't aware of them already, I'll be glad to pass on names.

And how is 2018 treating everyone thus far? Kylo and I came home yesterday but I got straight to work on my final batch of wine courtesy of Ronan Lynch's peach orchard 2017 stock. I've still got enough fruit to make a few bottles but we're well underway with the new batch. I'm also still welcoming any taste testers who would be willing. So, please, don't be shy.

MARGO HANSON

How was Time Square?

Thanks to Amadeus, I might have money coming in. My shop.

If anyone needs cabinets or drawers or shit like that, hit me up.

[Filter: Petunia]

Thank you for your help with Lupin's present.

[Filter: Anakin Skywalker]

How badly did she yell at you after she stopped talking to you publicly? I think I left our last conversation rather abruptly, but ... it did help. I think.

So I'm excited for the ball this weekend. I've got a great dress, some awesome shoes. I forgot how nice it was to pamper myself every once in a while. I think it's going to be fun even if I don't have a date. Not that I need a date to have a good time, but these sorts of things are always better when you aren't alone.

So anyone want to go as a group? We could grab some dinner beforehand? I promise it'll be fun :D

ANNIE ODAIR, FINNICK ODAIR, KATNISS EVERDEEN, VIOLET PARR, RONAN LYNCH, & ADAM PARRISH

Are you all going to that thing Sunday? I can't decide.

(Added later)

TENTH DOCTOR

Will you help me with clothes?

Finnick, you need to come down to the Humane Society! The kittens here are so cute.

FINNICK, ANNIE, KATNISS:

Yesterday was my birthday.

I want a cake.

This is motherfucking bullshit and if I don't get out of here in the next ten minutes, I'm going to tear the door down.

Also, please don't mention to our kids that we had to kill their Mogwai/Gremlins.

I need some honest opinions here. The nearest beach is at least 8 hours away. Anyone been there? Is it worth it?

I'm intrigued by carving pumpkins but nothing seems to have gone smoothly regarding Halloween, so I'm also terrified.

I sincerely hope that candy hasn't turned anyone into anything, because I want to eat a lot of it. That's probably safe, right?

I've taken a lot of phone calls in the last few weeks about the mysterious appearances of various oddities with costumes. And the disappearance of many, likely who turned into something not human due to their costumes. I dread to think of Sexy Racist costumes becoming a reality.

I wanted to apologize. It seems that the Come As You Aren't gathering was the first to have this happen. We didn't plot for this, there was no wizard or magician on staff to make it so. We simply worked out a deal with a local Halloween costume shop to provide reasonably priced costumes. And now we know why.

I haven't been able to find the owner, and none of his employees had met him until they were interviewed for a position. He seems to have disappeared, as Dr. Stephen Strange has stated before.

I'm not really ready to give up on finding him and figuring out what's going on.

QUENTIN COLDWATER:

And I really need to apologize for my behavior as a cowgirl.

Thanks to everyone who helped take of our kids - and us - while Annie and I were mermaid-ified.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone this evening.

ANNIE ODIAR & TRISH WALKER

I know we'll be seeing one another this evening but I was wondering if either of you would like to accompany me in the next few days on a shopping excursion? I need to pick up a few new outfits for a trip I'm planning and I'd like company of individuals with an eye for fashion. Margo was supposed to--- If you've met my dear friend, Quentin, you'll understand why I need outside assistance.

THE COTTAGE

I won't say you all have to come tonight but I think it might be good for us all.

Petunia, is Mr. Lupin going? :)

Finnick. We need to get costumes for the kids.

Where is the best place to get good costumes? Is that what this Halloween sale is for?

So, my daughter wants to be a princess spy for Halloween.

THE ITTY BITTY PARTY COMMITTEE:

Are you all free this Saturday between noon and three pm? I'd like to get together at my place and go over the details for the "Come As You Aren't" get to know you gathering.

I'll have lunch catered in, so there's no need to worry about that. Annie, if you can't find a sitter, there's no need to look too hard. Just bring the children with you.

FINNICK, KATNISS, POSY, BAELFIRE

Is one of you available to watch the kids while I go out to lunch sometime this week?

I'm going to be on a party planning committee.

So without Howard Stark, it seems we don't have anyone to make Just Because parties anymore. Anyone want to form a social committee with me?

ETA: Slots are now full.

JESSICA JONES:

What are you doing for a job now that Matt's gone?

I'm curious - where is everyone from?

Being back to "normal" is weird when you don't remember what happened. I've lost track of time and what was happening around me before, but I was aware of what was going on in my head.

Mostly, I wish I remembered my kids being older.

Has anyone here seen Finnick Odair? He may not have introduced himself, but you'd know if you'd seen him. He's unbelievably pretty.

Guess who's birthday it is tomorrow!

I ache for a dull life.

ANNIE ODAIR

Hey, Annie.

Do you guys hear that?

Sounds like scratching... it's underneath all the other sounds of people thinking.

Except the military people — I can't hear them anymore. Which is nice, but odd. I wonder what they're doing to block us. I didn't know that was possible.

Here's the fundamental problem with Tumbleweed: I realized today that what I really want is my own farm, not just working on someone else's ranch forever, but we might be living in the ocean or back in space tomorrow, so is it really feasible to want something like that?

FINNICK, KATNISS, GALE, PRIM, POSY, BAELFIRE, TEDDY, RONAN

I'm sorry you got hurt by the woman that looked like me. I was in the mirror

But Finnick said you tried to help me. thank you.

WHO: evil!Annie, Finnick, & Katniss
WHAT: Annie's evil twin kidnaps her husband & the Mockingjay
WHEN: today, early afternoon
WHERE: Finnick & Annie's house
WARNINGS: fighting, violence

PARTY-GOERS*

It was such a wonderful surprise to have you all over for my birthday. Thank you for coming!

Happy Birthday, Annie.

Is there someone here who can teach me how to swim?

Karl Agathon, Annie Cresta, Albus Potter

I wanted to give y'all an update on the early childhood program. If'n we're able to keep to our schedule Scott and I are hoping to be able to make it available to all of you starting after the July 4th holiday.

Kara Thrace and Caroline Forbes

You're hired. There's a list of classes that you're going to need to be taking in order to complete the process. We're looking into furniture and other items that are needed. If'n you'd like to be part of the process for picking that out please contact Scott.

[see various attachments re: classes and times, etc]
