the displaced; ic

I would like to take a moment to remind you that my name is Janet. One essential part of my programming is to assist in anything I can for any human being. It appears that this only works for the Displaced, as there are fourteen Janets in town, and I have not yet been called to any of their houses. I would recommend that when you ask to talk to Wasp AKA Janet Van Dyne, that you not say the full name. Thankfully, she prefers Jan over Janet, and then I won't show up in any strange and bizarre situations such as the one I found myself in when she was scolding herself over a dress design.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KAMALA! I know it's still a few hours too early, but I was too excited that I couldn't wait. I got you a gift but I'll wait until I see you in person because I don't want to ruin the surprise. Did we still have plans to celebrate? I've been so so so busy these last couple weeks and I misplaced my calendar in the move.

And then it's my birthday the day after, which is super neat. Maybe if we consider timezone differences we could have been born the same day! That makes us almost like friendtwins. Is that a thing? It should be a thing.

[Filter: Friends (Jan &co, Shuri, Kamala & Cho, Pixie, Howard Stark residence, etc.)]
I got permission from Mr. Stark and Jarvis to throw a birthday party. I'm going to be 17! It's the first one I've ever celebrated, so I'm not so sure how to plan it very well. Cho said he can cater the food. And cheesecake!

I know I haven't been here very long and the people I know back home don't really know me well here... and it's kinda last minute to send out invitations. But I was hoping some people could come if they're not too busy. We can play some games and I have lots of Dazzler music to dance to. It'd be on October 1st around 6pm. If you have any friends you'd wanna bring too, feel free. I just don't want anything TOO crazy because it's Mr. Stark's house and I don't want to break anything. Please RSVP so we know how much food to have!

Since it's officially fall, there's a new menu at the food truck.

Leaving: patbingsu;

Adding: kimchi jjigae, kimchi quesadilla, black bean sweet potatoes, and hotteok.

Are you and the big guy getting along? Y/N/M/Smash?

Pleased to report I can now open my own doors, reach things on shelves, and walk across a room in less than a minute. Anyone else still cursed? I would be glad to hear if I was the last one.


[FNRB Leadership]

Permission to report back to duty, effective immediately?

ETA: Did the receptionist position get filled?

[Howard Stark]

Howard, I’m so sorry. The bed was shrunk down for me to make it easier to get in and out, and it broke underneath me when I returned to my normal size. I’m happy to buy you a new one. Bed got the last laugh, that hurt like a sonov

[Nadia]

Thanks so much for all your help. When you get a moment, if I could get my clothes back to my regular size? There’s no rush, of course. I got enough to make it through the next day or so.

[Friends & Acquaintances*]

So, I'm in a little bit of a bind. Peggy moved out and today so did Jarvis. I'm still only six inches tall right now so I can't really get around by myself just yet. Anyone got a spare shoebox I can sleep in? Promise I don't take up much space. It's completely temporary, people's curses are lifting every day. I'll promise to be out of your hair as soon as I'm back to my normal height.

*A super broad filter, except it does not include Peggy, Jarvis or Bucky (PH). Why? Bucky (PH) is out of town and Steve isn't entirely sure where Peggy moved out, but he's trying to avoid making anyone feel guilty or awkward. But he's also a total idiot and might be wrong.


[Peggy Carter]

Jarvis moved out with Howard. Howard has extended an invitation for me to stay with him while I'm unable to open doors. I don't like the idea of you moving out. It doesn't sit right with me. You invited me to stay with you when I got here, and I'm grateful for it.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, the place is yours. It should be yours, if you want it. I'll let you know when I can report back to the base. No change yet.

[Private to Peggy Carter, Natasha Romanoff, Ianto Jones]

Fort Neill Resettlement Bureau Management,

It is with regret that I turn in my two week notice of resignation as receptionist. I shall place an advertisement over the Network for the position, and will gladly train the replacement. Thank you very much for the opportunity to work with you, the experience was amazing.

[Private to Nadia Van Dyne]

Effective immediately, I shall be resuming my former duties as Mr Stark's butler. I've given the Resettlement Bureau my two week's notice, and shall be moving into Mr. Stark's mansion. Mr Stark has been told that I am your guardian, and is perfectly alright with you moving in, as well. It will be a bit of an adjustment, especially for the next couple of weeks, but I do not intend to shirk my responsibility to you.

Does anyone have copies of the Dazzler albums? Apparently they might be hard to come by. But I'm also open to checking out other artists, if anybody has recommendations. I need something to dance to that isn't weird enchanted fairy dancing.

... Who helped get me free that night? I wanted to thank them.

[Jan]
I haven't really had a chance to talk to you since the fairy ball, but I saw that you haven't been able to speak? I'm sorry you got cursed! The whole ordeal was very exhausting. Let me know when you can talk again, I wanted to catch up. You looked pretty upset that night but I wasn't able to get to you. I know you don't know me very well yet, but Janet means so much to me and has done so much for me, so if there's anything I can do for you please let me know.

[Shuri]
I'm so so so sorry I missed our science and coffee date, and everything has been so chaotic since then and I've been stuck in school. It's more time consuming than I anticipated. When were you free to reschedule? I kinda got sidetracked on one of my projects after something you said about memory updates. I theorized maybe there was a way to contact our home worlds if there is a point of crossing over that allowed that exchange of information. Problem is I don't really have any data or frequencies to go off of. I made a model of a colleague's helmet to try mirroring communication, but so far haven't had any success. I might be hitting a dead end with it, but I thought it might have potential.

Otherwise I did want to start testing some of my quantum calculations and thought you could look over them for accuracy. Last time we were barely off, Scott and I ended up in entanglement and I don't want to repeat that. I did run some diagnostics on my tech and everything still seems fully functional.

Also also have you tried banana nut bread because I saw a video on how to make it on youtube and I might have made too much???

[Jarvis, Peggy]
I was thinking of putting together a food drive of sorts. Like just a simple door to door collection, but I'm not quite sure how to make that sort of thing legitimate. But I'll probably start by calling one of the community shelters, if you're okay with this. Would I be able to use a room in the house to organize? I'm mostly trying to help somebody learn about the importance of giving to others.

Yo, this is the worst. I was trying to get some free food by pretending there was a fly in it like Pillboi and I used to do, but then I just told them that I put the fly there and I couldn't get free food and I had a fly in my food, so I couldn't eat it. So I had to pay for it and I didn't even get to eat it.

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! )

So like.

Do the iron thing.

Don't eat their food.

Don't drink anything they offer.

Don't make promises.

Don't answer questions.

Basically just don't go to the ball and you're probably good to go.

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.

Hello.

I'm Janet.

I am outside of my parameters. I must speak with my architect and there are too many non-human lifeforms in this area for me to detect which one is him.

Hello! My name is Nadia Van Dyne. I'm new here, but I hear that's a common occurrence in this world. Jarvis has been kind enough to explain some of it to me, but it's all so overwhelming. This whole portals to an alternate world seems exciting and all but... I was hoping to get back to my friends. They were in danger when I left and even my communicators haven't worked.

I was told some of them, or some version of them, may be here? I don't know all of their real names, secret identities and everything. But if anyone has seen a boy my age named Sam, I'm worried about him.

Anyway! If I'm stuck here, maybe it'd help to make some new friends. Is everyone here from other places too?

T minus three weeks until I turn 18!!

Well, 22 days, actually, but whatever. Close enough.

FYI, Avengers fam, I'm not necessarily asking for a huge celebration and everything because I can probably see Sam being a little too distraught and going "why are you growing up, stahp that", but I wouldn't mind a small little celebration at home or anything like that. The very first two months of school are probablyyyyy not a good time to decide to take a vacation to Pakistan or something like that. Plus, um, kind of need cash for that.

HOWEVER! If anyone a. wants to teleport me to Poconos, PA, and b. wants to join me, there's a lantern lighting festival that I always wanted to see but I never got a chance to do because my dad used to think it was a waste of time and "only white people do that". >_>
