WEASLEY FAMILY (INCLUDING EXTENDED), ROCKET, GROOT, CREDENCE, LUNA & SNOW

The kids turn seven on Wednesday so we are going to have a little party on Saturday. Come over. We'll have cake.

I see congratulations are in order for forming your own country. It is a terrible shame that I should arrive here in the New World along with Mrs. Quigley's home, but no Mrs. Quigley to speak of, nor anyone else who previously resided there. It is a fine and most reputable house, visited often by those with of discerning tastes. Now there only vacancies to be filled. Whatever am I to do?

There is still plenty of wine to drink, the vintage most agreeable in my time, though I suspect might be a curiosity in yours. It would be absolutely wicked of me to indulge without offering. Therefore I have no choice but to cordially invite all of you to my home on the Eve of the Thirteenth, which I find appropriate given my circumstances, at [address].

If you are a gambler, I would be most honored to host you at my table.

Please come in your most fashionable. I am curious to see more of what people are wearing these days. I still have much to learn of your world and am grateful for the company.


To new friendships,
Miss Charlotte Wells

Since it's come up a couple times lately, I figured I'd go ahead and just do a general announcement.

If you're new to town by way of the portal and you're 21+, you get your first drink on the house at the Roadhouse. We're located at [address] in council 7, same as City Hall and the EPS. If you're under 21, you can get a free appetizer.

We have a pool tables, a couple dart boards, an arcade game, and the best burgers in town, made by yours truly. If there's interest, I may add in a karaoke night or open mic night once a week.

When I made that bet about being able to talk kidnappers into releasing me, I did not account for science fiction. Rookie mistake.

[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.]


ooc: for out of character context, look here.

While I realize that many people here already know how to fight, there may be some who are looking to learn new skills. I am teaching sambo at Howlett Gym. If you have never heard of sambo, it is the Russian martial art. I am 1953 Soviet champion. Mostly sambo is learning how to disarm another person, to get them to the ground and subdue them. Very effective self-defense.

This video has some good examples of sambo techniques. If you are interested in the class or want to learn more, do not hesitate to ask.

Did you see the car that the portal gave me?

( cut for image )

Do you think that all three of us can fit into it?

I'm not sensing Tonks, anyone seen her?

The portal sure has a sense of humor.

( cut for image, not an IC cut )

We've been arguing over what trees to plant in Nesbit Park for two hours. I haven't, because they're fucking trees, but I'm ready for this meeting to be over.

WEASLEYS + ROSE RED, TONKS, JO HARVELLE:

So there's a tradition for Memorial Day to do a great big barbecue. I was thinking I could host one for all of us on May 28th around noon. Bring the kids. We have a pool, a big swing set, lots of outdoor seating.

So I'm pretty sure I've got Hogwarts-style magic right now.

FRIENDS OF SAM WINCHESTER (NOT SAM WINCHESTER):

8pm.

The Roadhouse.

Bring your party hats, but not really. Just a lowkey birthday at the bar. Enjoy my purple confetti trick arrow. Buy him a beer. He's an old man.

SAM WINCHESTER:

How's the Roadhouse?

[Sam Winchester]

So it's my turn to ask! What do you want to do for your birthday?

[Snow White]

Hey, Council Lady. Happy Birthday! Pick a night this week that you want to go out for some you time, or you and Charlie time, and I'll come over and watch the kids.

If you live in Council 9, it appears that I am your new (old) council member. If you have concerns for the area, please don't hesitate to ask.

CHARLIE WEASLEY:

I told you that I'd be sneaky. This one is my personal favorite.( Cut for picture )

We need to find some time for just the two of us.

TONKS & ROSE RED:

Rose, this is Tonks. Tonks, this is my sister Rose.

I think the pair of you will get on wonderfully.

[Arthur Weasley, Molly Weasley, Charlie Weasley (AU), Bill Weasley, Nymphadora Tonks]

Hey, I just want to make sure it's still okay that I live here with you? I don't want to overstay my welcome or anything.

[Damon Salvatore]

I posted on Julia's post that we could use more bartenders and servers, since George was sent home and Faith isn't the same one who was here before. I'm having Waverly and Lily come in tomorrow to interview and see how they do, if that's okay with you?

Zoo's still here. No one turned it into a Walmart. I know, you were all very concerned.

[SHERLOCK HOLMES (E) AND JOAN WATSON]

My aunt's house is here. I know we talked about maybe me living with you guys, but... My aunt gave me the house. And my parents took it away from me, then I had all that money from ... my "job" so I bought it back. It's kind of special. Maybe if I'm hang out late nights, I'll stay with you guys.

I love you guys, just so you know.

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.

We're back in Tumbleweed, but as some of you may have figured out, the town is completely different than it was the last time we were here. There's an airport now, which my car navigation system pointed out, and it's on the opposite side of town from Fort Neill.

Of course, that's not the most startling or disturbing difference. Fort Neill is a graveyard, and I mean that in the kindest sense of the world. It was locked up when I got there. Got my way in to find a dusty military facility that has not been used in quite some time, and it looks like it didn't happen on purpose.

The military is dead, and I don't mean they cleared out. I mean there is an entire facility full of the skeletal remains of whoever was in there when something happened. That something appears to have been some sort of [...] feeding, possible animal attack. There are definite teeth marks on these bones, and the state of decomposure... it's not new. At least a decade, maybe more so it's not as horrendous as it could be to see.

I have not turned the power on; I don't want to disturb the bodies more than I already have, but I'd like for anyone interested in helping to come down to the facility to move these bodies — telekinesis, magic, or just standard issue gloves — so that we don't taint the bodies with our DNA. We'll have to keep the power off until that happens, and then there should be video monitoring we can check to see what happened, check databases and logs to see if there's any evidence of what might have happened here.

I'm leaving this open so we can discuss what to do. After scrounging around the base, I haven't seen any paperwork or IDs for those of you who arrived on the cruise so that's something we should work on immediately to get people in the system so they can work, get IDs, and whatever else they need. We'll need people who can make IDs and people who can get into the necessary systems for government agencies to make sure the back-end is taken care of in anyone wants to cross state or country lines.

And a warning to some of you who worked at the military before: yes, we knew some of these people if the names on the uniforms check out.

JO HARVELLE

Can I buy you a birthday drink? Maybe a birthday burger, if they have those on planet Pokemon? With or without other friends around, whatever you're feeling up for.

(ooc: added in later)
FRIENDS OF JO HARVELLE

We're doing drinks for Jo's birthday tonight, 4pm. Picnic in the Wela Volcano Park. I'm fine gathering food and drink, might need some extra hands carrying it though, depending on how many of you are coming.

We'll probably head over to the beach afterward for the other birthday party around 6 or so, too.

Good news: my brace is off. Can't go around doing jumping jacks or backflips just yet but it's okay. Initially considered throwing it over the side of the boat, but now that it's got people's signatures on it, that decision has been re-thought.

Bad news: Cisco was going to throw me a party once that happened, and he's not here anymore.

Not really feeling the party as much, but I could use some help catching stuff on this island. Murdock, not you if you're going to tell me to get up at five in the morning again.

Logan was sent home.

Following Rogue's lead: Night patrols. Sign up. Or don't. Just use the form you if you do.

And don't tell me to put you anywhere I like. Because that's too much work and I'm trying to minimize that shit for myself. And if you're not interested in showing up for patrols anymore, just say so, so I can drop you from the schedule.

Thanks.

I'm putting this out there. The very first Saturday after we're back in Tumbleweed? Whether that be next week or three months from now?

I'm going to destroy Emmeline Vance at skeeball.

You can come watch if you want. We'll be at Pizza Planet.

SNOW WHITE.

I want to have a project in mind for when we get home. What do you think? Maybe a headboard? One of those bread cabinets? A shoe rack?

Right so. School. For anyone new, please remember that anyone 17 and younger has to sign up and attend school. If'n ya don't, the ship will not let you get off of it whenever we get to the next port. Please talk to Scott Summers or myself if ya got any questions.

Also, since we don't want the kids getting poisoned during this Home Ec course that has now entered the cooking phase (and love ya Professor, but ya can't cook), we're in need of someone who can teach that for a few weeks. If'n ya'd like to give it a go, let me know!

Looks like Rose is gone.

Whatever, universe.

Hey Logan.

( Will you go to the ball with me? )

I don't believe I will travel to anymore of these other worlds that are only accessible via magic beans.

[Roy Mustang]
I've been told the spa on the ship is very good. I think I may give it a try when we've returned to the ship.

[Private to Jo Harvelle]

Get your go bag and meet me at the dock. We're going on an adventure.

Enchanted Forest, huh?

Well sounds interesting enough. Ain't gonna lie when I say I miss Middle Earth, but fairytales should be fun. Or at least interesting. Gotta say the forest sounds great, but I could be convinced to go to Camelot.

[25 and under + cool people filter]

Saturday, 11 pm, Agrabah.

Just because we're probably going to be stuck in another universe through Coachella doesn't mean we can't still throw a party in the desert.

BYO¯\_(ツ)_/ ¯.
Check portal for details closer to Sat.
If Agrabah has morality police, double tap tf out asap if we're crashed.

Blimey! We're really on a cruiseship, are we? This is absolutely brilliant. Is there anyone around here who is an expert on the inner workings of one? The only one I've ever read about was the Titanic and that had a particular tragic ending.

And these devices? Bloody brilliant. You don't even need a Dictaquill or a wand!

Forgive my lack of manners. I should probably have first introduced myself on this. My name is Arthur Weasley. I come from London, but I have been told that London is not anywhere near here.

We went to the Misty Mountains today. The kids loved it, said it reminded them of Wolf Valley where our home was in our world. I'm not surprised. It's a beautiful view.

( Cut for a photo of Charlie Weasley )

CHARLIE WEASLEY:

And I don't just meant the scenery.

A quick check-in from me. Haven't been using tech while I've been out here. I'm unplugged or some shit.

I think I've done near explored every part of Middle Earth. Got into a couple of scuffles, but nothing serious. Nothing I couldn't handle. Anyone want anything from the more remote parts of this place? I'll do my best to grab it for ya.

If you're out in the woods and happen to see four wolves bouncing around, please do not shoot them. My kids are anxious to get out and roam in their natural forms. Keep a look out for these particular wolves and do not shoot.

[Insert a photo of them in wolf-form]

If you notice them doing something they're not supposed to — scaring people — please, inform me immediately so I can have a talk with them.

Can't say I've had a good weekend like this past one in a while. Rock-climbing with Vi on Saturday, games with Laura on Saturday night, and a pool-date with my granddaughter on Sunday. And we've just arrived in Middle Earth. I'll be damned. Gotta say I'm excited for this. Backpacking through the lands should be fun. Just have to figure out where to start.

The cigar bar is pretty damn impressive. Can't believe it's taken me this long to visit. Next though, I think I want company. Who's interested in joining me?

Hey, Harem Queen. Had an idea.

[Friends]

For the record, pretty sure I'm officially cursed.

Well I have put together a new information pamphlet for new arrivals, but since it's the medbay robots dealing with them instead of the military and our own representatives delivery might be a little spotty. Hopefully people will get them, but we'll see.

That was five beeps, right? I checked there was no one new so that means they're all disappearances. It might be easier to comment here if you notice someone missing rather than make half a dozen new posts about it.

Which should be everyone.

Won't be moderating group on Wednesday, need someone to take over this week. I'll be back to running it the following week.

I'll throw in some kraken jerky to whoever helps out.

I must inquire as the dining arrangements here for those of the vampiric persuasion. Substitutes and bagged blood are generally not an option for my particular kind.

To be clear, I do not take from the unwilling. To be even more clear, my partners always leave quite satisfied.

Okay. Now that a couple days have gone by, I’m Waverly Earp. Yes, yes like Wyatt Earp. I know some of you. Latin club parties anyone? But I am definitely pretty sure I have a need to have more friends. Most of mine aren’t here, which includes my girlfriend, buuuuut new friends anyone? Y/Y/VY? I’m super adorable and great company. Doc and Eliot can vouch for me.

I probably could have just mooched off of Doc’s friendship gathering, but I figured that would be pretty sad, sooo here I am.

[ FILTERED TO 21+ ]
Exploring Atlantis has been quite the experience, but I'm ready to wind down the night properly. So who else is in the mood for strip poker?

Anyone else wondering about our lives back in Tumbleweed? If we'll be sent back there the way we were last year, after being on the Prettiest Star? How long it'll be, whether or not things will still be the same and if we'll all still have our houses and jobs and all the rest?

...or is it just me?

You have got to be kidding me. I was undeniably clear about my distaste for both the ocean and the sun. I've had quite enough of magical portals for the next five hundred years.

Henry Fitzroy, Duke of Richmond and Somerset, Earl of Nottingham, Lord High Admiral of England, Ireland and Normandy, etc. You can call me Henry, Fitzroy, or Your Grace.

It's small, but it will do until we get more people joining us. The Library on Deck 12, Wednesdays, 7 PM. I scheduled it with droids and stuck a sign on the door for privacy. See you all tomorrow night.

So this place is fun and all, but a few of us think patrols would be a good idea, just to stay on the cautious side. No one's seen anything worth panicking over, so this isn't a response to anything, but better safe than sorry. To keep people from doing the same thing and maybe bring everyone together, here's a sort of schedule of what people are wanting to do for night patrols.

Need a partner for night patrols. Dates and times are up in the air, but I'm thinking Monday to Thursday, from 1 AM to 4 AM. Let me know if you're interested or hit me up on Logan's post here. Volunteers for other times/nights are welcomed there too.

EDIT: So people were hella responsive. So I got a schedule sort of going and tried to filter to as many adults as possible capable of helping.

If you want to help, fill in where there are openings, yeah? More than two people to a slot is ideal. But remember, if you got school, try to grab an earlier shift or work weekends so you're not falling asleep in class. Cause I don't want to get yelled at by any teachers.

Stating the obvious aside: we've made another jump. Some of you remember (and would like to forget) the Prettiest Star space cruise ship. This one is on water this time. From what I can tell, it's a luxury cruise ship. Most of what I've seen seems familiar to cruise ships on Earth, but who knows so make sure you're careful until we know exactly what we're dealing with.

Check in on this post and see if your friends are here.
