the displaced; ic

I'd like to say I have any idea what's happening, but basically confused. I never really did too much with video games because things have a habit of not working and bouncing around from house to house didn't really make it something I did a lot with. Is this normal for...whatever this is?

[Filtered to Richie]

Hey, so there's this party apparently tonight?

[Filtered to Leo Valdez]

This is your daily annoying check in.

[Filtered to Nico Di Angelo]

There's a party tonight. [...] Did you want me to figure out another place to stay the night? I could probably swing it somehow.

Who: Will Solace and Leo Valdez
Where: The Mall
When: Saturday
What: Will trying to cheer Leo up

I guess we're back to normal again, huh?

[Demigods, Rey, Family]

Everyone's alright I hope? Does anyone need anything.

The upside is that I can hear again.

[Filtered to Steve Harrington and Nico Di Angelo]

I messed up. I'm sorry. I was walking home with Richie and these things attacked. Trolls or something. I tried to stop them, but I haven't been sleeping well and he's gone. They took him. They took him and I couldn't stop them.

I'm being forced to go to the clinic right now. I was able to reset my arm, but I'm so tired my abilities aren't working as effective as they used to. As soon as I can, I'm sneaking out to go look for him. I'll get him back, I promise.

I'm at the clinic. I messed up. Trolls came for me and Richie and I couldn't stop them from taking Richie. I need you to promise to keep an eye on Nico while I find a way to get out of here and look for Richie.

You know what doesn't work as well when you can't hear things? Morse code. I mean, I can feel it. I guess if you wrote it, I'd be fine, but hearing is much more necessary to my entire existence than previously understood. Is anyone else seriously over the drama? Have we figured out a way to stop her? Like serious question here.

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.

Demigods, Anakin Solo, & Rey

So we're definitely going to be more focused on the person trying to take over the world, right? Cause that seems problematic.

Do you think we can RSVP 'no' to this?

I think I'm going to stay in until whatever's happening stops because it's really too dangerous right now

[Tony Stark (MCU)]

I [...] was wondering if you've got any skill in making apps or something. I can build things and make things run, but I don't really have any skill in that.

It's just that I'm doing something and I think I'll need something specific to make it less headache inducing..

[Filtered to Leo Valdez, Nico Di Angelo, and Anakin Solo]

So... I've been given band as one of my classes and I've been told to pick an instrument. The problem is, I don't know which one to pick.

Help?

I'm getting that 'need to build things' itch again, so if anyone has projects they want to do, I'm happy to help.

[Rey]

Hey. Um. I was thinking. Maybe...maybe [...] do you think engineering would be a good idea? I mean, I guess I could start my own contracting business or like go to school for that. Trades pay pretty well apparently. I dunno. It might be stupid.

I wonder whether anyone would be willing to offer some - I don't quite know whether to call it financial advice, or arithmetic. In your dollars, is thirty-seven millions considered to be rather a lot? It sounds like rather a lot.

Happy New Year to Tumbleweed. May wherever the portal plans to drop us this year, be mostly relaxing and cool and relatively monster free, etc.

Anyone have resolutions?

This is your post-Will checkin. And also. Hey. I've got this ship I need to try out.

I'm told I'll need to go to school here. Like, actual school?

ABSOLUTE SPACE:

Seraphim Mishina has signed the contact. She's available for the 21st, and the 21st alone.

One more year and I'm not going to be a teenager anymore. Honestly surprised I made it this long. So that's definitely something.

Definitely better and worse than last year. Anyone up for a game of paintball and/or capture the flag to commemorate my lack of dying this long?

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'm here. Sorry if I've been...not here. It's just kind of sucked a lot. And [...] yeah. Hi.

I HAVE A SON?!

Alright, as far as I know, we're all accounted for. But there is no way I can just sit by the side and stay away from the ball when there are people missing. I'm guessing some of you have already made the decision to go?

If you want to sit this out, that's fine too, but I think we should figure out some kind of game plan here.

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! )

[Demigods (including Cassie), plus little Anakin]
I've always got Aegis and my bow and knives to hand anyway but we should make sure we all raid the armory and see if we've got anything else useful. Nico, your sword should work on fairies, right? Stygian iron and cold iron have got to be pretty similar.

Lencho is starting to believe she's part-goat, it seems. She's taken up bouncing around the lab. Luckily she hasn't also developed a habit of investigating my tools by trying to eat them, but poor Bruce has been so patient with being used as a trampoline.

Guess the portal doesn't like Christian Kane's face, cause Jake's gone too.

Anyone got any projects they need an assist on? I need a distrac-

No more Bethie and no more summer. Today officially sucks.

So, I'm trying to decide which high school I should be going to. Is one better than the other? Thoughts? Suggestions? I'm all ears.

It's been a really short summer and I'm not sure how I feel about how close going back to school is right now. At least my ever-continuous project of rebuilding the Argo II can be used for school grades, though. And all my other random projects.

[Rey]

Can we go search through junkyards a bit? I don't really need anything, but I want to see if there's anything to find in them.

[Demigods]

I'm going to be out for a bit, but I'll be back later. I have a few things to do.

I decided to work for Tony for a while mostly full time. I think I'm going to do some classes throughout the next school year, but I'm also kind of ready to just do things and I think this might be better for now. And if it doesn't work, I'll consider University next semester.

Next time you should try 'yes'. You don't want to get known as a Negative Nancy.

Don't ask me what a Negative Nancy is, because I have no idea.

So, they tell me that fighting in armies and killing monsters since I was four doesn't not constitute an ability to take care of myself. So, uh, help? I need an adult, apparently. Before I fry every computer in this building.

I have started writing a game app, utilizing smart algorithms for storytelling purposes. It only has one adventure so far, and the character builder isn't complete yet (well, it has some limited options but not as many as I'm planning on). But I was hoping for some beta players to give me constructive criticism and feedback. There's plenty I'm not locked in on yet, so you could really improve the game. It has single player only right now, but there will be ways to interact with other players down the line.

Story-wise it's space fantasy with science and magic coexisting. There's a lot of problem solving that is open to you to determine how you would like. Not just one answer. And the longer you play, the more choices you make, the more individualized it becomes. :D

Hey guys. We've lived through people coming through knowing more of the future (for Shiro, that's how many times, hmm?) as well as two sets of memory updates. Each time there's a lot that has happened, a lot that could affect all of us. Personally, I can say it was great to hear from Lance right away that we found my dad, that he was alive, and that he was okay. But it's heavy stuff, and we don't know what will come next. If our time here has been setting any pattern, it's that we may all, in time, get memories that take time to process, and we probably will not all get them at the same time.

We all get worried. We all wanna help. We all... care about each other. So I thought it may help it go better for everyone if we figure out how we want to handle it. Especially if it's something where we want some time. I don't have an ANSWER. Just the question. If it were you - getting the update, living with someone who does, someone who doesn't - what would you want? And probably, IMO, the biggest emphasis on what do people want when they get the update. Bc that's a lot to process in a moment, a night.

Also, you're all fantastic. <3_<3

Do adults often engage in high school pranks against each other in this place?

I believe I will take you up on your offer to stay, at least for a time.

Such a warm welcome seems strange when pulled through a portal without warning. Then again, the universe is full of many strange things.

I am Diana of Themiscyra, daughter of Hippolyta. I understand that I, or at least a version of myself, have been here before. My apologies to those who may have known me then, as I am afraid I will not know you. I look forward to becoming acquainted nevertheless.

I am in need of a stonecarver, for a statue. I'm happy to talk details. Those who practice magic, would there be a way to conjure an eternal flame?

I think it is beyond time that I reach out and make introductions. My name is Elizabeth Swann and I arrived in your company just a few days ago. I've been giving myself some time to adjust to this new set of circumstances. I find this has been a far easier adjustment than my initial leap through time. One year is certainly easier than a few centuries. My friend has informed me that there are some among you who were also in our community in our previous reality but he says that number is small. So, my question to you is, are there others who were pulled from their home time and placed in a situation similar to this but prior to your arrival here?

As it were, I am rather disappointed that my ship has not followed me to this reality but my apartment did. I would gladly trade the apartment for the Black Pearl any day. Of course, it would be useless without water to dock it in, but I am not accustomed to being away from it for such a length of time and it has only been four days.

(Trigger warning for drug use in comments)

It's strange visiting places where you used to live. Especially when the last time you've been there was the 1930s. Or well, the last time you've been to actually look at the place and not just fight monsters was the 1930s that is. It's kinda nice to wander around and not have to deal with Katobleps or getting turned into a corn plant.

Camp Halfblood Cook Out this Friday starting at 6pm. Hey, Steve and the Avengers and all them peeps are doing it, I wanted one for us young people too, but didn't want the dates to overlap, since everyone is invited to that one and I'm sure we'll be going too.

The Camp is big enough for a number of people. We have grills, we have a pool, archery practice grounds, sparring practice grounds (I mean, if you're feeling like you need to practice during the cookout to digest any of that food)... Pokemon all welcome! There will be both vegan/vegetarian/non-veg options. We welcome ALL!

Also, we may or may not do fireworks later on in the night depending on how many people are comfortable with it with their pets. We can always save that for 4th of July anyway.

Let me know if you plan on coming and what your preference/request is for food so I have the right amount of stuff!

How good is this survival training probably going to be compared to camp?

I finally finished the wings. All that's left to do is attach them and Festus and I should be good to go.

So he doesn't really have any add ons that keep him invisible or at least not visible to people who'd notice. I didn't want to overload him. So if someone wants to help me with a magical solution or whatever, I guess this is me asking. Pointless to have a flying metal dragon if you can't actually fly on him.

Erik's back.

He don't remember being here before.

If'n ya need me, don't.

We'll be back whenever I'm good and ready.

I am doing "market research". I understand this is very important to running a successful business.

How many people here use swords, blades and other edged weapons as their preferred method of fighting or defense?

How many people here are interested in acquiring an a blade or require a blade with unusual specifications or qualities?

Thank you for your response!

I would like to start a business. I have been reading up on it on the internet. I thought as a successful business owner yourself, you could walk me through the process you went through to get started?

Would you be interested in an apprenticeship? I thought after our discussion at the party you might be interested in the art of bladesmithing.
