I guess at least it seems to have just been for a day.

[Cottage + Brakebills]

I received the Truth Key from the portal today. [...] If everyone is in agreement, I thought maybe it could be kept somewhere safely at the cottage in case any of us need access to it for any reason. Sound good?

Well, my class should certainly be interesting this week. Whether you're learning new powers or learning how to deal with not having them, you're welcome to come and practice with us. Nonmagical defense against magic, Monday - Friday, 4 - 5:30 PM at the Howlett Gym.

For once I will actually be on the "powered" side of things, and who knows how long that will last, so I recommend that you don't miss it.

Also: if you are not fully in control of your new powers, please let me know if you intend to come so I can prepare the appropriate safety measures.

[ FILTERED TO KADY'S ROBBERY CREW ]
Good job, team. I'll have the money laundered and back to you within two weeks. Celebratory breakfast in the morning at my place.

[ FILTERED TO TMFU + ROGUE (616) ]
Job's done. No issues. I'll see you all in the morning for breakfast, if you're hungry. I'm cooking.

[ FILTERED TO QUENTIN COLDWATER ]
Have you ever made love on a million dollars?

[ooc; Forwarddated to tomorrow night.]

[Kady]

[...]

[...]

"Its great seeing where we really stand"?

I can't believe you right now.

[...]

If you're going to rob a bank, you might want to consider the fact that the federal government here not only knew about people with powers but how to counteract them and that maybe that's technology that might be in more places than just Tumbleweed.

Whatever. You obviously didn't want me watching your back.

[...]

Where was the need? What was so dire that you would risk a repeat of last time? I took on a full time muggle job to help with everyone's expenses. Can you say with 100% certainty that this world doesn't have its own native magical community?

Don't talk to me about keeping secrets from each other.

[Penny]

I spoke with Strange. He believes you're the only one that can fix your hands. Sort of like a quest situation? That on a kind of magical or cosmic level, no one else is going to be able to find the answer for you. He made a pretty convincing argument.

Obviously if I hear or find something different I'll let you know. But for what it's worth, I think you can do this.

Funny thing about memory potions to keep you from losing other body parts: they also keep you from getting body parts replaced. Guess I'm stuck as a fucking cyclops.

[Robbery Crew]

We're doing this Friday.

[ FILTERED TO FRIENDS & ACQUAINTANCES 21+ ]
I realize it is a school night and I will probably regret this when I have to be up in the morning, but who else can't sleep? Anyone want to Netflix & Chill? Did I use that right?

[ FILTERED TO THE BANK ROBBERY CREW ]
Additionally, we should probably discuss the timeline for our heist.

KADY:
Any updates on that potion you're twisting my arm to take?

[Margo Hanson, Alice Quinn, Penny Adiyodi, Eliot Waugh, Napoleon Solo]

You're either on this filter because I've worked with you before or because Margo recommended you.

Now. Who's up for robbing a bank?

I got a job at Darth Vaper. I know more Star Trek than Wars, but Hey, isn't there a guy named DARTH VADER because I get the joke now.

[BRAKEBILLS + ASSOCIATED PEOPLE + FRIENDS + NAPOLEON]

Thanks. Haven't ever had a real birthday party had a party since I was like 8.

Eliot, you're a fucking detective with the food yesterday.

Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday yesterday and Penny, too. I hope you all enjoyed the party despite the combined birthday crash surprise. I know I definitely enjoyed myself even if Julia betrayed me. I feel like someone really should have pushed Penny into the pool too. Only to make things fair.

[Eliot]

Help me hang this painting? I have no idea where to put it. I was trying to look online to see and there's apparently all this stuff about the right lighting and whatever. I have no idea.

[ooc: this is post Penny's bday celebration things]

So now that we're back, my Venmo username is Zpoweredgirl.

A lot of people had questions about Alola, and that's is great, but while I tried to answer what I could on our limited time on the islands, a lot of stuff could have also been asked at pokecenters or found in books too. And emotional labor is still actual labor.

So if you want to venmo me something for any help. That would be appreciated.

ﾟ･:,｡★＼(^-^ )♪ありがと♪( ^-^)/★,｡･:･ﾟ

JJ's still gives me free waffles.

Okay, so I didn't end up keeping any of the Pokemon. Measure the pros and cons in my head about keeping one and which one would tolerate all the houseplants I have in my room already and decided I'll stick with the houseplants and then maybe get a frog later on in life. I used up my Pokeballs the first day anyway.

But I'm super relieved I didn't have to stay in the medbay for longer than a week and managed to heal up well enough to navigate this port. Not only has it been super fun, but I got a chance to explore, see the rarer animals at the Foundation and just take the time to draw.

( Picture attached )

I'm thinking I'm going to go and frame this one.

FILLORY AFFILIATES (AKA The Magicians + significant others):

We've been invited to have dinner with the King of Wakanda and his entourage tonight. I hope none of you have plans.

And if you do, at least make an appearance.

Alice convinced me to ask:

I used to have magic and now I don't. Cursed hands, Quentin and an axe, a whole thing. edit: I still have my hands, they came back. A whole thing, right?

I can't believe Is there a Pokemon that would help?

So apparently this possible flower crown of a Pokemon is really good at healing, which like...is very important. I don't actually know that much about Pokemon, but I wasn't really into the games when I was younger. My dad got me a pack for my birthday once, but mostly it was just magic kits and stuff. Thanks for posting information about the Pokemon on here, though, because I'd have had no idea and probably traded something we'd all apparently need. Also I guess it's kind of cute.

It had plenty of flowers to choose from on the boat, so it seems pretty at home now. I never really considered myself a flower Pokemon sort of person, but then I never really considered myself a Pokemon sort of person, so I guess that's not really surprising or different. King Quentin of the flower crowns, I guess. Or I can stick with Moderately Socially Maladjusted. It just seemed shorter.

FRIENDS OF ALICE QUINN:

So the queen's birthday is today.

I was thinking a little late night picnic near the pool. The Garden State soundtrack. A little alcohol. A little food. A little star-gazing. Maybe a little fun magic with lights.

ALICE QUINN:

I'd apologize for not getting you anything for your birthday, but money is meaningless here, and I doubt you want an eyepatch.

[KADY]

Julia told me I'm dead where she's from.

[Filtered to Brakebills]

I guess now's as good a time as any to ask if anyone needs a brush up on battle magic? Just in case. It's not like we'll be thrown in the brig for it now and we can schedule around helping on the ship if necessary.

[Filtered to Napoleon Solo]

Everyone on your end okay?

WHO: Kady and Penny
WHEN: back on Middle Earth
WHERE: the Shire
WHAT: Feelings are not friends.
WARNINGS: D:, but not really. Just classic avoidance.

[To Illyana's friends and their suitemates— but minus Kitty Pryde, right after this]

I know it's short notice but if I could please crash on someone's couch at least for tonight, I'd really really be extremely grateful. I'll try to switch off couches if it's too much imposition more than one night. Thanks.

BRAKEBILLS, TEAM VOLTRON, & TEAM NEW YEARS

I was out walking this morning around the Camelot area and I complemented someone's horse. We ended up having a thirty minute discussion and at the end, they handed me a bean and told me to have safe travels.

I'm leaving in thirty minutes. If you want to come, I'll be at the dock.

[Brakebills]

Hey Margo? How do you want to tackle getting the ingredients Regina needs?

Barrier magic
pixie dust
water from Lethe
a dragon scale
wolf's blood

The middle three are the ones I'm worried about. But here may be our best chance to get at least some of them.

[Logan]

Hey, I could use the help of a tracker if you're free?

Magic beans. Get ready to climb, bitches.

[Brakebills & Julia]

What are we thinking with the magic in this place? Do you think it's possible for me?

Also, why the fuck is everyone getting memory upgrades? Is mine coming soon or not?

[OUAT]

I lost my powers when I lost my hands. A magical ... deer lady grew them back. I haven't been able to cast any magic since then. I can still Travel and hear people's minds, but I can't do magic.

Is there anything in this place that could help?

What the fuck just happened? Why is this a thing that has to happen? Let's put our minds together for figuring out a way to not get any memory dumps. I'd like to hear some ideas. Magical. Scientific. Whatever we've got here.

[There be spoilers for The Magicians, season 3 up to episode 7 in here. And yes, Margo's lost an eye!]

[Brakebills]

So this next port is kind of giving me Fillory but worse vibes.

[ FILTERED TO 21+ ]
I need a night out, where I'm being told I'm pretty by a beautiful person and being plied with good wine. Multiple beautiful people encouraged and welcomed.

EDIT: Captain America (the single one), your presence & services are required at the Meridian Lounge tonight.

[Filter: Brakebills + Kylo + Petunia]

Q is alive and fine. I'm going to kill him.


[Filter 2: Molly Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Percy Weasley, Charlie Weasley 2]

Hi,

You're all Weasleys that answered my survey and I was wondering if I could ask you a question? I hope it's not to awkward to bring this up, but in the books there was mention of a clock your family had that allowed people to know if everyone was okay or not.

I don't suppose you could share information on how you enchanted such a clock? Hopefully you didn't just buy it?

Thanks,
Julia Wicker

I have so many regrets and am possibly dying. Could be a temporary feeling. Maybe not.

Added in later

[Brakebills + Kylo]

So we’re leaving Steve alone, okay? Okay.

Optional* Magic** Survey***

*As in, please don't bother messaging me if it's secretive and you don't want to discuss. Just don't discuss? That's fine.

**Replying to say you have no magical ability or contact with magic where you're from is equally unnecessary.

***Feel free to respond publicly or privately. Private answers will be held in confidence.

1. Do you have the capability to use magic or regularly come into contact with magic? Is there a title you prefer like wizard, magician, psychic, etc?

2. How would you describe the nature of your abilities? For example, is it over a specific element, do you have a particular discipline or scope?

3. How do you manifest your magical abilities? For example, do you use a wand, hand gestures, spoken word, magical texts, spell ingredients, a combination, or none of the above?

4. Are you willing to share your magical knowledge or be called upon to come to someone's aid? Do you have limitations to how much help you're willing to provide or information willing to share?

5. Is there any interest in forming a group, council or coven to continue this conversation?


Thank you for your time.

psa time for the smokers

longbottom leaf, old toby and one other one i cant remember are basically tobacco that smell nice

southern star is not tobacco...

your welcome lol

I'd like to thank everyone who was helpful during my arrival yesterday, and apologize to anyone I alarmed.

My name is Kell Maresh. I am a blood magician, which I've come to understand sounds concerning, but I only work with my own blood.

The wristbands bring you back to the boat. So, great, I don't have to go searching for anyone.

These little people make good beer.

[ALICE QUINN]
I got Kady flowers on Valentine's Day. It was stupid and she didn't like them.

[JOHN MURPHY]
I'm drinking with my not a real girlfriend but I mean friend so if you need to be picked up during your camping trip, you're shit out of luck.

( left outside Kady's suite )

Oh joy a place that requires a whole lot of walking. They call it Middle Earth for a reason? Who the hell are these Lord of the Rings? I have no clue what the hell I'm reading.

[Johanna Mason]

You check out this map of Middle Earth?

[The 100]

Anyone ever heard of this place? Bellamy, I am looking at you. You're the nerd that reads.

ETA: I'm going to get the movies and going to watch them in my suite tonight. If you want to watch 'em come on over. Bring shit to eat. I'll have some stuff, but I don't know what you all like.

What the fuck is this shit?

For the record, I'm not taking anyone anywhere.

Hey, this is going to sound really random but there aren't any bunnies on the ship, are there? Pets? Stowaways? Anything?

Who else does karaoke?

[Bucky (ph)]

I am freaking the fuck out. I think. I feel it in my chest.

[Johanna]

I'm going to be out for awhile.

[Bellamy & Clarke]

Okay. I am admitting right now I am not doing so well.

[Ron]

I don't think I'll be going to the suite tonight. You got free reign of the living area.

FILTERED AGAINST MARGO HANSON, MINORS & MAGIC STUDENTS

Next Saturday is my very dear and beloved Margo's birthday. As we are currently at sea, with no known trajectory or schedule, planning an evening of celebratory indulgence is immensely difficult. But I have never been one to look at an obstacle and give up. We will celebrate and it will be a worthy celebration.

The question I pose to you, fellow travelers, is who among you would like to help celebrate High Queen Margo's birthday? I know she has made friends among you. And, of you friends, who is comfortable dancing in a crowd?

Perhaps shirtless?

Thor of Asgard, I look to you specifically.

As her oldest friend I can assure you that an evening of drinking, dancing and surrounded by shirtless men is exactly how she'd like to celebrate.

FILTER TO MAGIC STUDENTS( not an in game cut )

I went to Build a Bear with Alice. I threw it overboard.

[BRAKEBILLS excluding Alice]

Q, shut the fuck up.

So my friend cleared up some things for us, but quick question, what's up with the moon situation here? For werewolves, I mean.

Also, Penny Adiyodi? I'm your new roommate.

So that party was definitely something. Kraken is pretty not terrible, I guess.

I'm going to see to it that all of the portals that were directed to the community center are closed down this afternoon just so we can avoid any potential confusion. Once I'm finished, all portals that remain on the ship will be the ones that head to the school, per our original contingency plans. One small difference being that all the portals we set up to help those with disabilities will be redirected to the school instead of closed down.

Now, with that out of the way, here is hoping that the next port has a bodega or a 7-11 or even a damn WAL-MART because I'm almost out of cigarettes and cigars are rancid. Does anyone have smokes and might want to discuss a trade?

MARGO HANSON

Bambi, want to take a stroll with me to shut these down? And then maybe we can get dolled up and go out to have drinks while people belt out One Direction songs at Karaoke?

Teleporters, travelers, apparating assholes folk:

I'll do a final sweep of decks 11-13 if we're taking everyone non-combatants to the community center.

Can someone else be in charge of this? What about that Russian chick?
