Hey.

I'm sorry about Rogue.

Are you still doing therapy talks or taking a break because of it?

Hello, excuse me. Is anyone missing a baby?

If not, uhm, I think I just accidentally adopted a baby?

You want to get your hair done, right?

I’ve been meaning to do this for some time, but time always seems to slip away. Now all we have is time here. I’ve proposed a group for those who have lost people. Is that vague enough? It’s been said a time or a hundred that losing someone from another “canon” here is often a form of loss that really only we can share with one another. Particularly when that person comes back without the memories they gained here. We don’t know why some people leave and come back with them, and it’s a very special kind of pain when we’re faced with someone we know so intimately, and they look at you with a blank face.

That being said, I’d like to create this group on board the ship. We can use one of the quieter public areas, such as the library, to meet and chat. Do you think a weekly thing and you can come and go as you feel necessary?

And I may not be a licensed professional, but I have some experience in counseling. I’d be happy to offer my services to anyone who needs an ear.

If anyone wants a refresher course or an intro to space, the EPS will be offering one with simulations evenings this week starting at 7 pm in our gym.

Also anyone with their own space experience wants to come and help out, consider this your invitation.

Is everyone alright? injured? no longer cursed? Are everyone's kids safe?

For one I'm glad to be seeing a little more clearly.

This isn't the sort of portal I'm used to going through... I was expecting to just have a nice night's sleep after finishing up class at the dojo, but that didn't seem to be in the cards. Now I'm here, wherever and whenever here is.

So uh, hi, I'm Danny Rand. It'd be great to get to meet you guys and I hope there are some friendly faces here.

At first I was like yesssss Bernard is back. Maybe he did just wander off, no bigee.

But that is not Bernard.

YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO CHANGELING ANOTHER FAIRIES STUFF! IT'S IN THE RULE BOOK.

Has anyone seen Bernard II??? My flamingo? He's not anywhere in the house and like he doesn't really roam free. And his shrimp has not been eaten.

Hi. This is so stupid

I told Rogue I'd talk to you but that was like... a lot of days ago and I guess that's not good exactly but I guess better late than never. She suggested I talk to you.

I've been having nightmares and I'm not able to sleep.

[Quentin Q, Eliot, Emma]

I need letters of recommendation for this university stuff. Think you can do that for me?

I want to apply to schools in the UK. Can you help me with that process?

Have we figured out if we got money from Santa if that has to be declared on our taxes or not?

While I appreciate the faux snow setup in Phoenix Park, any interest in turning one of the other parks into a literal snowglobe? The 60 degree weather is apparently putting a crimp in my kid's holiday cheer, and I'm inclined to do something about it. I'm sure the locals won't mind. Been awhile since the town had a gas leak anyway.

LEO VALDEZ:

Shall we talk about Percy?

I'm probably just being paranoid, but Lyra received an unsolicited package with no return address.

That sentinel was a singular occurence, yes?

[X-Men+]

With a good deal of holidays upon us I thought it might be a good idea to start determining how we may wish to go about participating in them, as well as creating our own that are unique to our culture.

We have several events in our own history that should be celebrated or remembered.

I would also like to have those from Lauren and Ororo's worlds decide if there are events or circumstances from their worlds that we should also be marking for remembrance of celebration.

Thoughts?

MARGO AND KYLO, FINN (is the only one filtered separately)

I don't know you, but have you seen Rey or heard from her? It's not a big deal, it's just usually she checks in and she hasn't, which is okay except for people being sent home and now my best friend's dead and I don't you know. She hasn't. So um. I sort of need to find her, but I don't know where to look? Or if she's here anymore. I just...wanted to know.

Are you busy? I got...um...extra news and...I...it's bad. You know. Like updated memories. But it's fine if you're busy. I'm fine.

I need a headcount on who is still cursed and who isn't. Especially you, Fort Neill.

No one's a chicken here, right?

Hello there! I'm Dr. Chakrabarti. While I'm relatively new here and it's a Sunday morning after a ridiculous event, I highly urge anyone that went to the ball yesterday to come in for an once over, even if you were not injured or otherwise affected by last night's events. You may be asymptomatic or may not realize something's off.

Also, it'll give me a chance to get to know everyone here and give me a baseline to work off, in case something in the future happens where you need a doctor in your life. I've been told that people are skittish about blood draws around here, so rest assured, I'll only be doing that and any tests only if you consent to them. You should be getting checked up yearly anyway, so you might as well get it done now. Added bonus: you get to talk to me and I absolutely think I'm hilarious company.

I'll be down at the Bureau's medical wing all day today, so feel free to call in ahead of time to see how long, short, or non-existent the queue is so you're not waiting around forever. And if you like waiting, bring a book! I recommend Crazy Rich Asians for a fun read. I devoured that and the rest of the books in its series within a week.

EDIT: So far it looks like that people have been affected by the fairies. Things we are seeing so far: Tinkerbellism (Approximately six inches tall), going giant, spewing out the truth, and transforming into animals (wolf, horse, and bird). Possibly a coma like sleep as well, still looking into those cases. Vomiting pearls when trying to speak. Intangibility. Decaying - Those of you suffering from this one, I highly recommend finding a large freezer and sitting in it immediately. Or anyone with ice powers that can cool you down. At the very least, put those ACs to use asap. Mutism.

If you believe you can assist with any of these things, please find the person afflicted on this post and offer your help.

EDIT 2: If there are any animal specialists available, we may have some people that might appreciate you looking them over. Also, any psychologists or therapists being on standby would be appreciated.

I'll be heading down to the island Friday afternoon. If'n anyone wants a place to go to try and stay outta this mess you're more'n welcome to come and stay in one of the other houses.

If ya'd like to just go keeping your kids there to help deal with this mess that is supposedly happening, that's fine too. We'll make sure they're taken care of.

Otherworld fairies are, generally, Light. They don't usually do these kinds of balls, but there's always exceptions.

I'd recommend keeping "cold iron" on your person just in case. Do we have enough to go around? Or could we acquire enough for the Displaced?

And for god's sake, don't hit Pixie or you will answer to me.

Well. A little ominous, but can someone explain to me what Jesarn means?

All I really want to do today is go somewhere I can be served a decent cup of tea and some kind of small baked good and people watch. The best I've managed to do here is a teabag and hot water.

I'd like to have a little party at my place this Sunday for Rogue. I'm completely willing to take direction from those that know what she prefers, otherwise, it'll be a pretty standard birthday - cake, food, decorations, music, and alcohol for those of drinking age.

[ FILTERED TO ROGUE (616) ]
So how old are you turning?

THE AERIE:

I've signed us up for decorating duty downtown. I know. It's strange, yes? Betsy getting into the spirit of Tiny, Texas.

I also had some ideas for the house. The main one being two doors that we would get Quentin Coldwater to turn into portals. One to a skiing heaven (Warren: find the best year round one) and one to a beach or lake front. Then one or all of us could escape to a vastly different climate without having to bother Megan.

So I'm finally delighted with the reno we've been doing on the the first floor since our little dragon-shaped hole last month. So let's have a little housewarming party on Friday to show it off. 6 pm, the Aerie?

Can we hang out just the two of us before I head out on this family vacation trip later this week?

I now have the COMPLETE COLLECTION of "aliens" from the crash landing. Which this time around look a loooot like people we know.

Okay. Hilarious. That was almost original 40 years ago.

I really miss the in ground defense lasers. Why did we get rid of those again?

It just occurred to me that I'mg going to have to job hunting for the first time in probably years.

Damnit.

You know, I suppose there's worse places that a portal could've taken me to other than Texas. Like the Badoon homeworld. Or the Shi'ar.

Either way, Texas nearly isn't as bad, I guess. The heat's a bitch, but that's pretty much it.

Anyway, my name is Lorna Dane, and I'd like to know a good place to get a drink around here, since I'm going to be here for awhile.

Jonathon has never been to Canada and it doesn't seem right since he's an adopted Canadian wolverine. I think I might go up this weekend and show him where the old Howlett property should be. Maybe do some hunting. I'm taking the bike so I don't know how much storage I'll have coming back but if someone wants something I might be able to manage it.

The gym should be fine for a few days without me but if there is a problem that can't wait Betsy should be able to reach me. I won't have cell coverage except for parts of the trip and I'm not using my phone on the road. Probably I'll leave Friday morning.

I'm pretty sure I can live off of the amount of money I'm making with this shaved ice truck just for the summer months here.

God bless the summer sun and humidity.

If I add a new flavor should I go with blood orange or creamsicle?
