Want to go exploring and see what fun we can get into?

Call me a traditionalist, but there's something about the holidays that makes me miss how we did things back home.

For instance, at Avengers Academy, my school, every year we had a campus-wide easter egg hunt. But after M.O.D.O.K. got really into egg-based IEDs, plastic eggs weren't allowed anymore. So it became a new tradition.

There are 150 miniature bottles of alcohol hidden on this ship.

Game on.

(ETA: Also I should add these bottles are purely for display purposes only. Though they are unopened)

WHO: Everyone.
WHEN: Um, it was supposed to be last night, so let's say tonight.
WHERE: Callisto Deck, Starlight Park
WHAT: Living up to its name, Starlight Park hosts the Festival of Recreation. Leisure. Dancing. And... other things.
TRIGGERS: There will be a section for the

( Oh THAT kind of LEISURE and RECREATION. )

Urm. WHAT??!??

Somebody explained what's going on, but still.

It sounds like a nerd's dream, and it would be awesome. If I wasn't so overwhelmed right now.

I've also been told I need to have a guardian before I'm allowed to roam?

Hey if anyone finds a like not sonic option for showers that ain't the pool or the spa, let me know, k?

[Credence]

Hey, how you holding up?

As usual, time for check ins. Use this post to find people, otherwise we may get lost among hundreds of posts.

So is anyone else irrationally terrified of falling out of a spaceship, or am I the only one losing sleep over this.

For the record, I never disliked you.

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.

We're having an all staff meeting Monday to discuss how we want to keep education going on any cruise we may be looking at.

Who's still here?

Anyone want a fighting teddy bear? Or five? Somehow some of them survived, and they finally tracked me down. Which, I could snap my fingers, make them disappear. But I thought I'd offer them up for adoption to anyone who wants them first.

Stats:
Str 10
Dex 6
Con 4
Int 6
Wis 16
Cha 20

Fighting-wise, they're more effective as part of a sleuth (group of bears).

Perpetual reminder the EPS is looking for people interested teaching History classes, Biology, Physics, and picking up our Early Childhood program for pre-school aged children.

We're out Early Child Program coverage.

I'm not entirely sure how to swing this while we find someone capable of handling gifted toddlers. Short of leaving them in the Danger Room--which feels like it's kind of down the list as far as options goes.

Hey, so, when you show up without a house, they give you an apartment or a house or something right?

Asking as a concerned citizen.

Edit

Questions answered. We're good here.

Temporarily renting out the Pool house, just so you know.

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 a Lucario anywhere? I haven't been able to find Ace all day. Which is really unsettling, because he rarely leaves my side when he isn't in his Pokeball, which is hardly ever since I got him back at Christmas.

Alrighty has anyone else noticed the uptick in ravens flying around and the complete lack of any other dang animal in the woods? I live in them and usually we see a variety of different ones. And I know its winter but they were still milling about in January. Now its like they're all gone.



Also I'm pretty sure the forest got bigger.

FNRB:

After running several factors, we believe we're dealing with a fairytale character who has a Disney version.

Our current theory is Maleficent. She fits all the criteria.

Okay so we got the cruise info last week. Aren't we supposed to be gone by now? Is this a new form of portal torture?

Because I do not approve. Bring back gifts, Portal. That's when you're MVP.

You know, there's having a hangover, then there's having a hangover because you got to go see the Super Bowl.

I'll take the Super Bowl hangover over the regular hangover.

WHO: Sam Winchester + his Quidditch team (Flash Thompson, Steve Harrington, Buffy Summers, Stephen Strange, Rasalas Black), Gabriel, Selina, and others could have been invited by someone on this list if they want?? I don't have a specific # of tickets, just don't get too wild with it.
WHAT: Superbowl party! Sam got tickets from Santa.
WHEN: Today!
WHERE: Florida, apparently
WARNINGS: Possible spoilers for the score/winner if you care about that I guess

IC/OOC thread! Sam got lots of tickets from Santa and invited his Quidditch team + a few other friends. Come party with him.

I don't really know what comments to put up here so just put things wherever. XD

Who's ready for Super Bowl LIV?

Following up on Peggy's announcement: we're overdue on an annual cruise, receiving pamphlets, and now getting earthquakes, I've been wanting to propose something for a while.

On the cruises, and other world displacements like the wild west, security has been a major concern however, it's difficult to also organize in the moment of our arrival.

I propose that upon arriving in a new setting everyone take 6 hours to see to their personal security, find and connect with their loved ones and assess their situation before we have a safety meeting in a place TBD upon arrival and set up what we need in terms of security, resource acquisition, and medical.

You know what I miss and this town needs?

A bowling alley.

Anyone up for a drive out of town for a few hours of laser bowl? Maybe this weekend?

I'm trying a spell to counter act the truth effect going around.

Anyone want to try commenting with an obvious lie? Focus on the image and type.

[OOC Spoiler Alert: Julia's efforts won't work. Feel free to have your character write some super random ass truths or have their own hilarious Liar Liar moment.]

Working overnights makes it hard to have a social life.

At least I've got the weekends off. Anyone up for maybe grabbing some drinks with me later?

Bro, Sam, you asking for Super Bowl tickets must be good luck, 'cause this game is already gonna be 100 times better!

Do you like furniture? Do you like reality shows? Do you like tense brother relationships built on a foundation of never ending competition?

Then you'll love Ottoman Empire.

As which is to say -- does anyone want to come watch Ottoman Empire????? LET'S GET TUFTING!

Do you want a sneak peek at what life in Duckberg is like?!??!?

FILTER TO RICHIE TOZIER

By any chance, you know how to pick locks?

And how do you hypothetically feel about a club house of sorts? I'm thinking all the bells and whistles. Trampolines, 70 inch TV screen, a couple gaming systems...

No scratch that.

We'll get a projector for the gaming systems.

Padmé has it in her head that I need to meet about a dozen of you as her close friends and family, just for starters, and then she probably has another few dozen after that. I'm not surprised she's made many friends so quickly since she's famous for her people skills, but I think she forgets I'm not naturally as social as she is. I don't really know what to say or how to introduce myself except: hello, I'm Sabé. I've known Padmé half my life since entering her service as handmaiden. I'm from Naboo, of course.

Thank you again to Elizabeth Swann for giving me the crash course on this world. That had to be a strange thing to do for someone who inexplicably looks like you.

Would it be so much to ask that these movies be musicals? I have enjoyed How the Grinch Stole Christmas far more. The lyrics are catchy. You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch in particular.

What are your favorite holiday songs?

I'm going to learn everything I need to know about the upcoming holidays from the new season of Nailed It.

Are we supposed to get presents for everybody for Christmas? Jut people we know? Just the people we like? How many things do you get a person here?

And what day is it? Is it the 25th of December or the 7th of January?

With Quidditch on hiatus until January, I'm going to open the pitch up on the weekends for community access the first three weekends of the month. I encourage you to come and visit. You can practice free flying, play a pick up match, or we could even try to organize a day of Quodpot if we get enough interested players.

All this being said, the Pitch will be closed for the winter holidays beginning on December 23rd. We will resume operation on January 6th.

And, for the month of December, if any interested party would like to try flying lessons but has been too afraid to up until now, we will have the first lesson be free to interested members.

Don't forget we are still recruiting for the community league and hope to see some bright new faces come January.

FILTER TO THE WIZARDING WORLD AND FRIENDS

And all this being said? I've settled on my choice expedition for this year. RJ and I are going to be heading to Iceland for the New Year. We leave on Boxing Day. I intend to return on the 5th of January.

Tumbleweed. The final frontier.

Or something like that, at least.

I'd honestly rather be here than back home right now.

Anyway, my name is Daisy Johnson, and I've been here before. Anyone remember me?

I never thought I'd say this, but I'm fucking glad to be in Tumbleweed, again.

Kinda wish I still had Ace, though.

[MCU]

So tell me about this Thanos.

I need five people — 3 women, 2 men — who are willing to try on a bunch of clothes and accessories and then get your picture taken. That's right! I need models!

I have several items I'm wanting to test how they move on people. Alterations will be necessary so I will need people who can come in multiple times.

DAISY JOHNSON & MARIA HILL (AVAC):

Have you guys gotten all your classes yet? What are you going to take?

MARCELINE:

How do you feel about me maybe working some of my fabrics to get you a couple outfits so you can walk around in the sunlight?

Unbelievable. I forgot for a moment why it had been so long since I had worked at a general hospital, but the setting is a fair it soothing if less... clean than SHIELD facilities. We have the clinical pathology lab to one wing of the hospital that is relatively calmer than the rest.

However, how hard is it for some employees to follow protocol! There is a certain amount of material we need to be tested, and no, it cannot be done in a matter of seconds, no matter how long you decide to wait and stand there, and yes, you most certainly do need to label the specimens with the patient's labels!

I do want to give them the benefit of the doubt, however, since it is July and it is the month of new medical residents, but oh, how I miss being on the Bus with Fitz and just creating new forensic scanning equipment.

Send me back. I don't even have my axe here.

OK, so, now portkeys or whatever are real and we're in Texas which definitely was not one of our honeymoon destination options. This is fine. Being in quarantine is totally fine and we definitely aren't freaking out. I'm sure Amy totally accounted for "becoming a TV show" in her disaster scenarios. Cool, cool, cool.

Are we going to meet Walker, Texas Ranger? See the Friday Night Lights? OOO! Is everything actually bigger in Texas? But if everything's bigger, is everything the same amount of embiggened? How would you know unless you had something from outside of Texas for scale? Will I be like King Kong when I go home? Why do people outside keep talking about "shrank wool eyes"? "Tranquil eyes"?

I was out walking with Ace, and we made a new friend.



Jemma, Flash, neither one of you are allergic to cats, are you? I think Ace has decided to adopt it.

So. Dragon. Kind of neat. 'Sabers have turned into swords, which is weird but honestly. Enjoying talking to the dragon.

Okay. I love Disney. I swear, I'm probably having more fun that the kids.

Also ninety-five percent sure that the woman playing Merida was hitting on me, and I was okay with it.

Emma, I owe you a drink or dinner sometime. This trip has been a blast.

There is not enough alcohol to make me forget the video today's case came up with.

So a local couple in town. Going through a divorce. Fairly typically stuff, I'm thinking, when the wife comes in. Open and shut case, he's cheating. She wants money shots for the court case.

No.

She suspects that he's been putting some of of her things where the sun doesn't shine.

He came in yesterday, but I'd like everyone to meet Jacob Liam Grey Summers.

We've gotten three bogeys on our portal scanner, and they are not in town. Ones in Queens, another in Kearney, Nebraska, and the other is in Siberia. This is an all hands on deck situation, as we're ridiculously understaffed. Our Googler is on the internet, looking for social media related to it. So far, it's just portals. We have no idea what's coming.

I need civilians who are willing to fight whatever comes out of there and take orders.

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,

Never get bored, Google yourself, and read fanfiction written about yourself.

Or do, if that's what you're into.

[filtered against Scott Summers & Jean Grey

Yes, yes. Emma, you've just done this, calm down little lambs, this is a different kind of announcement.

Following some thought, and my desire to never have to sleep in a cabin ever or be on a bus of hormonal teenagers, we're shaking things up a little.

On June 18th, while our illustrious leader is preparing for the birth of his child, who will most likely be named after at least one dead person (I'm taking bets), we will be departing Tumbleweed on a luxury airplane. Yes that's right, no bus. We're also not going to the back roads of the most boring road trip ever, it's Senior year, you're all becoming adults, it's a passing of time.

We will land in Florida, arrive at Disney's Beach Club Villas where every three students will require one adult to stay with them. We will then spend the week enjoying the full range of Disney's parks and amenities, including the Animal Kingdom, the Lagoon water parts and Epcot, before flying back home relaxed and ready to graduate into adulthood.

I do understand Mr Summers already took names and sign ups, and that supervisors came forward for the trip, however, given the rather extensive change in plans, I would understand if people wished to withdraw no, I wouldn't. If I could get a quick head count on who is going (if you weren't previously going but now would like to, please say so) and the chaperones?

EDITED TO ADD: Unless of course you really want to go with the original plan. In which case, Mr Potter has gallantly agreed to take you. To stare at rocks. And trees. Yay. ¬.¬

[Ellie, Quentin]

Florida Disney Parks, do you want to go?

Don't tell him, okay, I want to see if his head explodes

[Senior Class Trip; students going & accompanying adults, (& Rogue and Scott)]

Thanks to an injection of wealth, we're taking a luxury coach on this ridiculously long road trip through the ass end of the country. Extra leg room, cozy seats, massage backs.

I've also upgraded the hotel. It was a darling place Scott, but I need more incentive to not just brain blast this trip through everyone and just hit Disneyland.

Gifts that made me tear up more than I ever planned to:



Mostly, it just made me miss Coulson.

Anyone know any secluded areas that would be good for a drive? I don't think the locals would react very well to a flying car.

Signs that one should always be careful what they wished for: before I showed up here, I worried about having to figure out how to balance my life between saving the world, my career, and wedding planning and felt like something should let him to do at least one thing at a time! And now I'm in a world with none of those. No matter, though, because I've picked up two separate jobs to compensate. And possibly buy something pretty for the ball.

The ball. I never thought I'd actually be attending one. What is life?

You truly don't remember being in this world before as some people have said you were? Because I'd like to know if any forms of AI could be trusted in this world. Some background info would have been quite helpful.

[Filtered to EPS Staff + ]EPS Seniors & Guardians]

We've got a preliminary Itinerary of this year's senior trip. The EPS is covering hotels, transpo, and meals. Though spending money will be on students. We're planning to leave Sunday June 17 (following graduation on the 16th) and return Sunday June 24th and go from Tumbleweed to Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone National Park, and the Grand Canyon National Park.

This is a classic roadtrip across some great stretches of the country, and I really tried to grasp that Americana flavor with choice of stops and roadside attractions. It should be cool rad gnarly fun.!

Unfortunately Jean's due around this time, so I'm unable to go. I have a soft yes from Emma on this trip, but ideally we need at least three drivers.

Preferably 25+ and comfortable driving some sort of Winnebago. I'm working that last detail out with rentals and our insurance.
