the displaced; ic

[Kobik and viewable to her guardians]

On Monday we're going to start working on your skills like Bucky talked to you about. I'm gonna need you to wear closed toed shoes and to bring a jacket with ya, even if'n the weather don't call for it here.

Attention Fellow Displaced:

For those of you literally fresh off the boat, you may come to [address] to pick up your new documentation. Driver's license, social security card, and whatever else you might need are all ready and waiting for you. If you are a minor, your guardian will need to be the one to pick up your paperwork.

Unfortunately my suggestion that some of the more famous or ridiculous names be replaced with something much more common, Severus Snape being both famous and ridiculous for Sylvester Snipes which is a much, much better name for example, was overruled. Only your actual names will appear on the documentation.

A number of folks here have worked very hard to replace whatever government presence there was and help get things back up and running. For the documentation you may thank Smart Loki, Quentin Quire, Jo Harville, Matt Murdock, Ianto Jones, Rick Jones, Integra, Scary Alucard, Jason Todd, Slightly More Attractive Loki, Kurama, Pidge Gunderson, Sam Winchester, Tim Drake, and Ezekiel.

Thank you.

Military base is secure. We've determined there's no contagion. These people, unfortunately, were killed by something. Still unknown. We're digging through digital files, but I'm not that hopeful. 1999's idea of digital video is grainy at best, unwatchable at worst. Especially given that these are security cameras. Could use some help if someone wants to figure out the labeling system they've given these files. There's only one computer so three people in eight hour shifts. Trust me, those 8 hours are going to feel like 48. Bring music to listen to.

The power's back on. What we weren't expecting was that the entire building has a No Powers restriction on it. Electricity's on, no power. Power's off, abilities on. The building itself only vaguely resembles the layout from before. There's less medical facilities — all of it is emergency-related, and a curiously fresh batch of vaccines. Containers look a hell of a lot like the ones we got on the ship. Anyone want to come and test it to make sure it is what it says it is? Medical area has a bunch of pictures from the space pox we gave them in the 1950s as a warning.

There's a dated computer by the one room we can't get into. My guess would say that's the portal room, but why it's on lockdown, I couldn't say. Either the thing that killed them is locked down in there or they didn't want to risk the portal being accessed by the wrong people. No surveillance cameras are working at the moment. All but one of them have been destroyed by claw marks or bite marks. I'm not hopeful this thing didn't get out. Several exits have been compromised.

First things first, thanks Tony for setting up the food fundraiser. Unfortunately, money leads into my second point: we're going to need a lot of money to get this up and running again. We have no idea when any new arrivals might show up, what condition they'll be in, or how to figure out where and how their housing turns up. It's a logistical nightmare.

Can I put Figment in the pool? Also can we buy cereal with the marshymallows.

[FILTER: NATASHA]
When can you come out of the quarter time?

[FILTER: LILLIE]
How many walks do I gotta do to hatch the eggy?

Does Fluffernutter like his new home? Give him lots of hugs for me!

What the hell is going on?

Now that our two troublemakers are out of the brig and we are at the new port, what are everyone's plans? It's likely I will be where Shuri is, but I also know I intend to see this dinosaur park that the material mentioned.

This Grand Hano Resort sounds lovely. I think I will be spending the vast majority of my time there.

There's a lot of fun holidays today and I know I can't compete with jelly beans and peeps, but it's also my birthday! I'm 13 now! If I had a party, would anyone come?

I still have no idea what the holiday is about, but thanks for the chocolate, y'all. Kinda made my day.

I'm gonna ask you a really obvious question and I'm expecting a very particular answer, just so you know.

In Russia for Easter, my мама would make kulich, the traditional Easter cake. She could have gone to gulag for this, but she was always ardent in her faith. And a very good baker.

This Easter, I am stuck in bed with two broken ribs and concussion. I am tired of wearing sunglasses everywhere, but if I do not, the headache is very bad.

I know you do not have kulich, but can you bring me chocolate at least?

April Fools' Day is about betrayal and I'm not down with that.

What's with the fish?

The days and dates can really slip past you while on this cruise.

Today is Palm Sunday.

This coming Friday, Good Friday. Saturday Night is the beginning of Passover, and next Sunday is Easter.

I WANNA GO HOME

I WANT MY FRIENDS BACK

I WANT MY BUCKYBEAR

[OOC: Not too long after Quake's shaking of the ship, the lights flicker on and off several times. Sorry for the false hope. Power is not restored, Kobik's throwing a tantrum.]
