This place certainly has some interesting people in it. Did anyone see the news about the man that drove into the river yesterday?

I feel like I'm in a dangerous game right now, but the boys seem particularly miffed when they can't tell lies or even small fibs. They don't tell them often, but today seemed to be one of those days.

It feels rather strange to have Christmas decorations up. I suppose we did some decorating at Christmastime back home, but it's different. Dudley and Harry have been talking non-stop about Santa. It's nice to see them so excited about something.

[FNRB Heads]

I'm not sure if now is a good time to ask, but I was looking to change jobs. I've had some secretarial experience, but I know you have someone that works the desk. If, however, there are openings you need filled, I'd like to discuss them with you.

TEXTS TO PETUNIA DURSLEY

» Can I take my two favorite nephews for the day next weekend?
» Either Saturday or Sunday?

The months seem to feel as though they’re moving quicker and quicker. I’m excited, though, to start planning Christmas things. My list is already quite long.

Waking up from a dreamless sleep is quite an experience. One I'm not too eager to repeat. Losing six days and not even realising it has put me in that perpetual state of "I know I'm forgetting something." Yes, Clara Oswald, you're missing six days, and you feel like you're constantly behind on everything.

I'm sorry to my students and the staff at the school.

So not that I'm concerned that the hotel will come back, but just in case the hotel does come back, who here is familiar with demolitions? A lot of people have left, including one very beautiful, very angry looking construction worker named Frank Castle. And yes I'm well aware he was more than just a construction worker.

Demolitions? Anyone? Just for my personal edification.

I can honestly say this experience has been emotionally exhausting. It'd be nice if we could go back to something less [...] whatever we're calling this.

[Albus Potter]

Thank you again for watching Dudley for me. Do you have a favourite dinner or dessert?

WHO: The Displaced and a bunch of fairies.
WHEN: From midnight until 6am. Technically early Sunday morning.
WHERE: Another dimension
WHAT: The Unseelie Court invites you to a ball. (Make sure to tag your characters as you add them). Masks arrived shortly after the Abducted were taken the prior night.
TRIGGERS: TBD

( Welcome, welcome! )

I'm just going to go ahead and cancel Quidditch this weekend. No changes to the rest of the schedule; next weekend will go ahead as planned unless something comes up. If we have any more cancellations I'll add more games to the end of the season.

HP VERSE(S)

Are we all here, aside from Gabrielle? There are a lot of us. Please check in.

How do you feel about the 8th for New York? I can get us tickets for Hamilton right now if that works for you. The 15th also seems doable on the ticket front.

FILTER TO THE WAUGH-REN FAMILY

Thank you for the plants, Fray. I like mine immensely. What does yours look like?

FILTER TO QUENTIN COLDWATER

When do you think you'll have a spare few hours?

FILTER BETWEEN THE ELIOT WAUGH'S

When you were in the hotel, you got memory updates, didn't you?

* If you think they are friends, probably are!

All of my clothes shrank. :( I only have my SOLDIER uniform, and it smells like cedar from sitting in storage. I've been sneezing all day.

There are giant mosquitos and I need someone to assist me.

Question for the parents out there.

What do you do when your one-and-change-year-old daughter breaks the coffee table?

Asking for a friend.

FRIENDS OF ELIOT WAUGH (BOTH):

Attention, attention!

Some of you are aware that Eliot Waugh's birthday is this weekend. It's kind of a big deal, and he really enjoys being the center of attention. So let's give that to him with a big party at the Cottage on Sunday. It'll start in the afternoon with BBQ and just hanging out and go on into the night where things will likely get a little raunchy. If you're coming with children, maybe stick to the daytime festivities.

Anyone who would like to assist in the BBQing and setting up would be greatly appreciated.

See you there! (Recommended that you don't arrive before noon. Some of us don't bother getting dressed until then.)

I'm Eliot. I understand you've already met someone who shares a strong resemblance in name, face, and hopefully an excellent taste in vests and alcoholic beverages. Some of you have been here for some time, and I am hoping you can help me.

This isn't my first time being pulled into another world, or my second, or even third, or forth, and so on. Some of you have also been pulled into other worlds which may or may not have been purgatory like before ending up here. I'm trying to get some information on my friends? They might have mentioned a Hell Hotel? Hotel Kairos?

Paul Rovia, aka Jesus
Castiel
Claire Novak
Gretel (yes, that one)
Negan
Judith Grimes
Rowena Ravenclaw
Godric Gryffindor

Just looking to see if anyone else made it out. Any information you might have would be deeply appreciated.


[Eliot's Homeworld(s)]

So, hello. I've just spent the last two years in a semi-sentient, murderous hotel. How're things?

[Quentin Coldwater]

Jesus fuck, Q. Except not literally. Are you my Q? Were you at the hotel? Please tell me you made it out, too. I'm still in quarantine.

[Margo Hanson]

Bambi?

[Family & friends of Harry Potter, but not Harry]

I figured we might as well all discuss what we're doing for Harry's birthday since it wouldn't really do to plan things and hope everyone else isn't planning something at the same time.

Now, he's never really had a party so much considering things being the way they were, so I'd like to do something with a cake. Lily, would you like to help me make the cake? If anyone else would like to help with the food, I have a list of things I already know he likes, so we can work with that. I'm not sure the party should be an 'everyone arrives and there's a party' thing. Just something with friends and family.

Remus, I think we can manage to set something up in the backyard. If anyone has any suggestions, I suppose it has been a while since I've thrown a birthday party for a teenager or any other aged child.

While I won't say it's actually Butterbeer, the attempt they have at the theme parks isn't half bad. I thought the pumpkin juice was far closer to my memory of home. The best food they had was easily the cornish pasties. I had three helpings of those during the one day we were at Universal. And is it sacrilege to say that I enjoyed the Jurassic Park section the most in Universal? Helena had us ride the water ride a good four times. Not that I was complaining.

As for Disney, I'm really thankful we were in Animal Kingdom the day Hollywood Studios ran into all their issues. I don't want to know how it would have went over if I had to explain why we couldn't enjoy Toy Story Land. That being said, Toy Story Land was sort of brilliant.

This, however, was my favorite part.

I almost feel as if I woke up with someone else's hair today.

Is anyone on this network adept at selling things through the Internet?

I don't know how it is that a screw was able to roll away from me so easily but I've been searching this empty bedroom for days looking for it and it's finally decided to turn back up.

I'm going to put the rest of the parts into a cup until this desk is complete.

FILTER TO JAMES POTTER

I'm fed up with these muggle furniture assembly instructions. Come help me build an IKEA collection.

FILTER TO PETUNIA DURSLEY

Have you seen plenty of palm trees yet? Are there flamingos? Did you get Harry and Dudley a set of the mouse ears?

Last night, my daughter arrived in this world. Alive. Unscathed. She has no memory of what happened to her and her mother. I would, for now, prefer to keep it that way and will be seeking a way to block any mentions of my world on the internet from any searches she makes on her tablet. I have not spoken to many of you here and I am perfectly content to keep it that way, but Nina is a great deal more inquisitive and outgoing than I am.

So should you find yourself speaking to her, please refrain from scarring her or you will find yourself in a regrettable position.

We now live in the boathouse.

[ FILTERED TO ROGUE (616) ]
With Nina's arrival, I find myself trying to explain who Anka Irene is to her. Through my admittedly lacking explanation of other worlds and other Eriks, she understands that she has a sibling.

Would it be too much to ask if Nina can come along to meet Anka Irene the next time I see her?

Merlin's balls, Texas? If I had to be transported against my will somewhere did have to be someplace so bloody hot? Or could it have least waited until after I found out if I made the Hollyhead Harpies or not? Or preferably, couldn't it have just not happened at all?

Anyway, I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Ginny Weasley, and this is probably one of the most bizarre things to happen to me.

FILTER TO THE FAMILY AND ANY SIGNIFICANT OTHERS

I intended to inform everyone sooner but with the end of term and the Senior Class trip, once again, this got away from me. Still, we have time.

James, Lily Luna and I will be taking a family trip with Credence, Luna and Helena to Florida next month. I was gifted a trip from the portal back during the winter holidays and we are just now able to take advantage of it. Should anyone like to also venture to the Sunshine State, and the Walt Disney resorts, while we are in attendance, we would be more than glad to spend some time with you during our trip. We will be there from July 8th to the 14th. I've attached our itinerary [here].

Let us know.

As for the current trip I am chaperoning, the 5 mile hike in Yellowstone was, well, intense.

FILTER TO GEORGE & ANGELINA WEASLEY

I do not know if you will want to go, or will be able to with the shop having just open, but if you cannot, I would still like to take Fred with us. If that is alright. I think Helena would have a more enjoyable time with someone her age and I do not want him to feel excluded.

[Filtered to Remus]

I got a call about Dudley. They said he's refusing to talk. I'm going to have to tell Eliot soon, but he's at his party and I don't want to interrupt.

[Filtered to Harry]

We've got to go to the Fort. Dudley's here.

( I don’t know what I’m supposed to do )

Aunt Petunia? They said you were here.

For those of you attending the local university, what are you studying and how did you get a workaround for your transcripts, etc.?

James, Remus, Petunia

Tell me I'm not completely mental for thinking about going back to school. Part-time, of course.

[Filtered to Eliot Waugh & Kylo Ren]

When you're both free, I have something to talk with you both about. I know you've been busy with Fray and everything, so I don't want to interrupt. Just when you're free.

Please stop thinking about Petunia. Please

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?

It's not that I don't trust people when they tell me I've been dumped in an alternate universe, it's just that I don't trust people as a general rule. No offense.

There is not enough whiskey in the entire universe for this bullshit.

Dancing has certainly changed since my era. A pity. It would be nice if there were a dance hall in town.

Is the film Casablanca good? The Tumbleweed calendar says that's what's playing on Movie Night, this coming Monday.

I almost wonder if it would be less disconcerting if the outside of my house looked not remotely like it does at home. As it is, I'm still startled every time I walk outside and it looks like it, but not like it.

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'm happy to be back. As much as I enjoyed the being on vacation, I would much prefer here to the boat.

I still have my job, which is another beneficial thing. I also have to admit that I have never been so happy to be able to cook for myself in my entire existence. And with all the recipes I made note of on the ship at the cooking classes, I have far more things I can make now. Honestly, however, I am in the mood to bake at the moment.

FILLORY AFFILIATES (AKA The Magicians + significant others):

We've been invited to have dinner with the King of Wakanda and his entourage tonight. I hope none of you have plans.

And if you do, at least make an appearance.

The robots say I will be discharged by Sunday. I'd really be more comfortable with a healer, or an actual person, to speak to. I remember seeing doctor's when I was in and out of awareness. Are any of you available? The robots make me uncomfortable and I have questions.

Also, could someone bring me chocolate pudding? Please? Or jelly. Green jelly.

I know we have people taking care of keeping the food together, but considering the number of people, I would like to do an inventory of what we have. I know the magical people can summon water and replicate food, but rationing is important at least until we get to another port and are able to stock up again. We don't know how long this is going to be and I'd like to help with that if there are no objections.

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.
