FILTER TO TEAM MAGIC

Tuesday, unless you have a reason not to, I'd like you to accompany me on an experiment. I'm intending to head out about twenty miles from the city limits, further into the desert, at roughly 7am.

We're going to be experimenting with the potions obtained in the World of Dreams. I want to see if we can access the subspace here, near Tumbleweed, like we were able to on the Cruise.

FILTER TO NATASHA ROMANOFF

I'm intending to try something out on Tuesday. If anything crazy happens Tuesday, it'll likely be related.

And can I bring the DeLorean out of storage?

FILTER TO TONY STARK (MCU)

Ever wanted to drive Doc Brown's car?

Well, that was fun. Glad I'm me again. Why does my older self refuse to ever leave me notes on my future

Everyone else back to normal?

Ladies, my metaphorical hat is off to you. Not only are you burdened with growing the future inside you, but you're stuck with everything that comes after.

Now is it hot in here, or is it just me?

THE GENDER SWAPPED

I was thinking maybe we could all exchange tips give each other some pointers? Is that even better?

LIV MOORE

I may have a temporary stop gap until we find a new source.

NATASHA & BUCKY

I think I need your help.

What's happening? Is magic coming back?

Well, I guess we're doing this again. Did I do something that I don't remember again?

Thank you, anonymous benefactor, for my newest art acquisition.

[Photograph of what was clearly a gag gift framed and hanging up in Tony's garage.]

I see Tumbleweed hasn't changed much.

MARINA ANDRIESKI

Thank you for looking after my place(s).

There is a unicorn in Whitespire.

One cannot say this is boring.

[Marina]

You're welcome.

Hello, again.

[Filter: Magicians & Friends of Alice but not Alice]

Hey guys, thinking with it being Alice's birthday today, do we want to do a dinner tonight somewhere down on Naboo since we're in a place that has good food and all that?

WHO: Marina Andrieski & Isobel Evans
WHERE: Their room
WHEN: The first day in space
WHAT: Meeting the new roomie
WARNINGS: Nah? Maybe some past trauma via Isobel’s suckass husband
STATUS: Complete

( Glad we had that talk. Now I’m going to go ahead and put these clothes away before I go and get a drink. )

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

ADULTS OVER 18:

We've recently lost a few guardians, and Sam Wilson, when he used to be here, had a running list of people who would volunteer if it was necessary.

If you'd like to add your name to the list, let me know here. This will especially help for the children who come through without anyone else from their world.

BUREAU'S SCIENCE + MAGIC TEAMS:

Anyone interested in helping a fellow Displaced member not vanish into nothingness?

Speaking as someone who's never been on one of these cruises before, what happens to the businesses that we run while we're off in space?

Two things!

First! Uh so this cruise thing is saying that Jeff is going to need to stay here? He is a growing Landshark and I'm pretty sure all his usual babysitters are going to be on the ship sooooooooooooooooooooo. I guess he can like... Defend the town like the hero he is if something attacks while we are gone

Second! Dr. Strange is being the worst, per archetype, and keeps not agreeing to teach me magic! Which, first of all, I'm not actually surprised by, but second of all, people should help me annoy him into teaching me! I need recruits! Because I'd be awesome at magic!

I do hope everyone is back safe at this point.

FILTER TO VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN AND LIV MOORE

I'm going to DoorDash you coffee and dinner. What would you like?

Since there's more than enough new blood around here...

My name is Marina Andrieski. I own the club Carpe Noctem. We don't do free drinks, but the atmosphere more than makes up for it. Now, I'm looking for people to work for me. Bartenders, waiters/waitresses, and bouncers. We're open Wednesday-Sunday from 9:30pm-2am. If you're closing or opening, the hours might vary a little.

I'm not going to sit here and hold your hand, but I have staff to train you on what to do and what the drill is. Please note that if you're not comfortable with BDSM, you might want to check somewhere else. If you're interested, you can comment here. Public or private. Whatever's more your speed. If you're not interested in work, but interested in what we have to offer, feel free to stop by the club. Mind the forest and the unusual creatures.

[Tony Stark (MCU)]

Not now, but later, I have a job for you. For now, I have to go check out this magic group at the bureau. Since apparently Penny's entire sex life depends on it.

Also I have the coins that should help us figure out the Stoppard Cube, but I think that might have to wait till everything calms down, too.

[Marina]

Hey. You want to get a drink?

I'm pretty sure there's a very special place in hell for people who hack other people's phones and change alarms and ringtones to HUMAN-LIKE SCREAMING GOATS for fun.

I will get you back.

Someone open up a portal to a goat dimension? I've got whatever the word for a shitload of goats is fraternizing with my alpaca and fertilizing my driveway.

If Holland was here, he'd I don't

I'm just going to go out and say it. These movies are weird. It's one thing to know there's some sappy weirdo girl with my face in a show about Hannibal Lecter. It's another to have someone with my name in a weird Christmas movie. Absolutely not. I'm ready for New Years Eve already.

Feels a little like we're going though 'see no evil, do hear no evil, speak no evil'.

[Alice]

Think this is something to be worried about? It's hard to tell sometimes.

[Physical Kids Cottage/Magicians types]

We got food stuff for later in the week or should I figure out curries?

Oh thank fucking god. Julia, I'll be back. I need to go fuck something up do something.

[Julia Wicker]

Unless you're in the mood to fuck something up that probably won't get us arrested. Maybe.

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

Desiccation of faeries feels like a reasonable response the next time I run into faeries on that level of asshole.

FILTER TO CHARLOTTE WELLS

Would you prefer I reside somewhere else tomorrow evening?

FILTER TO MARINA ANDRIESKI

Are you solid yet?

On the plus side, I can jump scare people now. It's too easy, but it's something.

[Voice to text: Ethan Chandler]

I can't even drink to make this more interesting. That is perhaps the most tragic part of this whole situation. This is what I imagine cabin fever must be like.

It's fucking boring as shit.

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.

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! )

Well, this has been some bullshit.

[Magicians + Tony Stark the elder]

Just so you all know, Julia's gone. Considering she disappeared in a swarm of hummingbirds, I'm assuming this is faerie bullshit.

So yeah. I'm voting we destroy some fucking faeries.

Who the hell buys the entire stock of carrot cake from the nearest bakery?!

Vex is gone.

Still open for business.

That's all I got.

How do you get rid of a cartoon light bulb over your head? It only shows up from time to time, but it's really damn annoying. People keep asking me what my idea is, and if you know the clientele of Needful Things, then you know how they like to sit and talk at you for hours.

I was far too hungover for this when I initially woke up, but if I am subjected to this absolute ridiculousness, well [...] I'd say this was because you threw a blanket at my head for laughing, but I'd have done this anyway.

( not an ic cut )

So is this going to be a thing?

[Ethan Chandler]

Do you have plans for later? And what's your preferred alcohol? Which is to say, can I bribe you with alcohol because I'm basically intending to bribe you with alcohol right now.

So I walked outside and was greeted by an unfamiliar site.

( not an ic cut )

I was going to leave it alone, but it just seemed so pitiful and kept meowing, so I got food on the way back from getting my coffee.

[trigger warning: mention of animal/pet death in the comments]

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.

Bambi?

There's apparently a website with themed teas and I have my own tea. I'm a little curious to see how I taste. Julia, I bought your tea since we come as a two pack. Apparently our teas have hooked up.

To whichever one of you perverts that left the Hulk shaped adult toy behind - come to lost and found at Carpe Noctem. Additionally, there are three wallets, clothing, and a set of keys that haven't been claimed yet.

Vex and Kenzi,

May I introduce you to my dear new friend and recent tenant, Miss Phèdre nó Delaunay de Montrève? I believe she has a special skill set you would find most beneficial to your establishment. I will let her speak to her qualifications.

I would also be happy to arrange a meeting in person, whether at the club for your convenience or my home for your comfort.

Yours,
Charlotte

Napoleon, since you insist on following me everywhere I go with this international marketing campaign, some thoughts:

1. I'm pretty sure Gillette paid for that mustache.
2. If you can punch the air and make that noise I will pay you five whole dollars per fist to see it.

Edit: If you would like to see Napoleon attempt to punch the air and make sound effect noises, ten dollar minimum buy in. Proceeds go to a local no kill animal shelter. Comment to leave your pledge.
