Anybody want a slinky with googly eyes

FRIENDS*

Any of you [...] need anything?

It seems a few of my potions have come with me, but not very much. So try to avoid serious injury if you can because I will be unable to do much besides minor healing at this time. If anyone wants to work out obtaining medical supplies while we are at the stops or knows the places we're going well enough to know if we can, then we'll work that out as we get places.

I've also found it unusual seeing the stars while in space. Though, none of them look familiar. I suppose that's to be expected. I doubt we're in a similar space.

Welcome to Space everyone!

Inevitably we will probably all get attacked by something because that's situationally appropriate. But that also means lots of tense situations where romance can blossom!

As such I'm opening up a special variety of my tinder service before all that goes down! Space Tinder!

Comment below on the Space Tinder Header. People then have FIVE COMMENTS ONLY to converse and decide if you want to go out. Other benefits of space Tinder? Maybe you meet some new friends too! Or new enemies! All three options are exciting! And since we haven't run into any hijinks or worlds yet, plenty of date opportunities!

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

If anyone wants a refresher course or an intro to space, the EPS will be offering one with simulations evenings this week starting at 7 pm in our gym.

Also anyone with their own space experience wants to come and help out, consider this your invitation.

We're having an all staff meeting Monday to discuss how we want to keep education going on any cruise we may be looking at.

[earlier in the day]

[Filter to Voltron]

You guys ready for a leap on up to the moon?

And do you want to keep it as just us?

[added a little later] [Filter to Alice Quinn]

Hey, so, are you busy? Because it's actually Leap Day and even though... even though he's not around, we were going to take Black up to the moon to celebrate today. Do you want to come along?

[Filtered to Friends+*]

So I guess that happened.

I'm not good of this sort of thing, but since I brought it up, they/them pronouns for now.

[FILTERED AWAY FROM MALEFICENT]

In order to best coordinate our efforts in light of recent events, would those with the ability to do so report the names of the missing children, exactly where the abduction or near-abduction took place, and any subsequent retaliation that occurred?

Morgan Stark was nearly taken from the steps of EPS. The culprit and several of its cohort are currently being tracked by myself in the event that they lead us to Maleficent.

[OOC: Tony has been cursed with the inability to feel emotions, so he's running on only logic and reason for the time being.]

ooc: Allura has the curse of disbelief, believe nothing she says!

I have warned the mice about going out and about recently, and they scoffed at what I said. Actually scoffed. Said they didn't believe they would be in any danger. Nonetheless, I still told them to stay inside and they actually said they didn't believe that was necessary!

They are wandering around somewhere and they are normally very self-sufficient, and they have often saved the rest of US when we needed it, so if anyone could just keep a few extra eyes and ears out for them, that would be appreciated. Pidge, I believe they had mentioned coming by your place.

Since it is the end of the month, I was wondering if anyone had actually managed to continue to stick to their resolutions?

Filter: Keith and Pidge (separately)

I am checking in on both of you. How are you doing?

Those of you who have space vehicles of various shapes and sizes, how far have you been able to get and how does it compare to your ship's usual range?

BREQ

I'm looking into cloaking and recharge options for the new shuttles. Once that's lined up, you wanna go for a ride?

PIDGE GUNDERSON

I know you've got plenty on your plate, but when you have time, any chance you could put together cloaking for the shuttles Breq and I received from Santa?

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.

[Filter to Alice Quinn]

You mentioned how Shiro promised to take you up into space. Did he ever promise what type of ship

[Filter to Tahiri Veila]

Hey, so I got a question. Might be a weird one.

[Filter to Voltron]

Do we want to do a moon trip this weekend? Just pack up some provisions and see where adventure takes us?

Spaceship types! I'm working on a new project for the bureau!

I am going to be attempting to create a universal fuel source to power space faring vessels. To start though, if you have any current fuel samples as well as schematics for your fuel delivery systems that'd be helpful. Even better if you can let me get a look into the actual ship along with the fuel samples!

Who here might be interested to work with me on either a) prosthetics (we can always do better! help more people!) or b) backwards engineering the correctives from the space station outside town that can be used to stabilize wounds, heal broken limbs, and in the far far "we got this" future... regrowing limbs? Their tech can already do it, but we haven't been able to utilize it.

I was working on it with my brother, Matt Holt, and Raven Reyes. But now Raven's also gone, so... more people would be welcome.

Filter: Quentin Coldwater

I don't know when you'll see this or if you are up for replying but you don't have to. I just want to say I'm sorry. I am here for you. I know we have not had much of a chance to talk before these recent weeks, but if there's anything at all I can do, please let me know.

Filter: Keith and Pidge

I know both of you are still here since there haven't been alerts about you either but I'd just like to see you type something, or hear your voices. Can we get dinner tonight?

Filter: Alice Quinn

How have you been feeling?

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.

[Private to Bruce Banner (MCU)]

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

Being ten foot tall is wrecking my game, dude. I thought being 5'8" was a killer for some guys, but no. People scream and holler, and I think I just got fired from my job. No more old school vagina tools for me. Also sleeping in the BARN is getting hella old.

I'm back here. Huh. I guess it's a good thing. All things considered.

RED ALERT.

I need someone to find my smallest pair of glasses.

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.

Voltron

I know some of you know more than others, so, just so we're all on the same page: Last night, I had some trouble with this body rejecting me. Keith said that also happened back home. In lieu of a healing pod, Alice and her friend Julia were able to use some magic to set thing right. I'm all right -- just tired, and I'm still at Alice's.

Julia

Thank you so much.

Alice

Permission to never leave your bed again?

This universe has got a sick sense of humor.

How sure are we everyone didn't just do a bunch of drugs at some point without knowing it?

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". >_>

WHO: Matt & Pidge
WHAT: Memory Updates
WHEN: Backdated to August 24th
WHERE: Pidge's room in the Holt Residence
WARNINGS: Mentions of battles, injuries, timey wimey, subjugation/mass murder, etc.
NOTES: That feeling where "wait I didn't post it... you didn't post it... what..."

( Could you just… not leave yet? )

YEET YEET!!

You can probably 0% tell by looking. But I'm an #adult now.

[Voltron Coalition]

Ok, everyone, check in. Looks like there's another round of new memories going around. With some physical additions. How is everyone holding up? Does anyone need help?

fwiw, it is possible to take video game immersion a bit too far.

QUIDDITCH TEAM RED (1)*

This team is going to be great! Go team red!! I vote for keeping the red as our team color.

I'd like to go ahead and nominate Pidge for captain, because she's amazing at flying and strategy and leadership. I'm not at all biased, it's totally true.

And anyone got suggestions for team names?

*Matt Holt, Tony Stark (904913), Henry Mills, Molly Hayes, Pidge Gunderson, Ron Weasley, Harry Potter (AU)

Guess what, Quidditch players? We've got enough of you to field four full teams! Quidditch practices start next week in the evenings, on this schedule. And games will start in September, after each team's had a couple weeks to train together.

Teams should pick a team name, color (if you want a different one from what you've already been assigned), and captain, and let me know about your decisions on that anytime between now and the start of the season. Good luck, everyone! I can't wait to see you on the pitch.

I'm impartial, of course, but I think Team 3 is gonna be the best.

(OOC: if you'd like to make any changes to your character's position or team, please let me know ASAP so I can figure out how to arrange it! I did my best to accommodate everyone and I think it worked out pretty well, but I'm happy to try to work with you. :D)

Voltron + Alice + Tony

Hi all -- just wanted to remind you that Matt and I will be in Hawaii for August 7-14. Don't get into too much trouble while we're gone.

With all the start ups and apps aimed at young professionals, someone should invest in one that connects stress bakers to stress eaters. It's an obvious partnership.

(Don't worry, I'm not either. Actually I came up with that during a grueling break reading in the sunshine.)

[X-ladies]
I feel like we haven't done anything in a while.

Filter to Voltron minus Lance

Hey so, Lance’s birthday is coming up next weekend. I was thinking maybe it’d be nice to do something that’s just us for part of it. Like maybe a trip down to the beach maybe Friday and staying overnight there. I mean, we got the car we did so everyone could fit. Maybe a bigger party after when we get back with all of Lance’s friends too. What do you think?

Filter to Shiro

You got any plans for today?

Who here plays Pokemon Go? WHO WANTS TO? ALL OF YOU SHOULD PLAY!

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

Filtered: Voltron

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

So Keith got adopted by a cat last week.

(Keith, I asked if I could post this while you were sleeping, and you mumbled yes. Which means you can't be mad. (☞ﾟ∀ﾟ)☞)

FILTER TO MAGICIANS

We've got a potential solution. Julia, when can you get here?

FILTER TO VOLTRON

We've come up with a possible solution. Once it's tested, I'll let you all know. Figured you'd want the update.

FILTER TO THALIA GRACE

Hi. My name is Alice Quinn. We've not spoken.

Myself and my associates have been working to try to reverse the transformations that were caused by the fruit you found. We're testing it soon but if it works, would you like one of us to come to you and help the effects be reversed? Do you know of anyone else who has been affected or that took the berries from you? I've already been in touch with Pidge, Hunk, Keith and Julia.

WHO: Matt & Pidge
WHAT: Working through some emotional stuff after Shiro's update

I know you probably---

Whatever, it is fine.

Did any of you all eat those berries that were found? Julia brought to my attention--- One of my friends did and I wanted to know if any of you did and if you had a reaction?

Please.

This week we are selling The Hoth. An iced white mocha, that is neither as cold as Hoth, nor as white as it, but I don't come up with these names. I think they're inspired by the place across the street.

I hate this weather. There has to be somewhere on this planet that's cooler.

I kinda got so much sun in Italy, and it was completely fantastic. I'd definitely go back, and thank you Santa for Italy trips.

I brought back souvenirs for everyone. Trinkets, kinda, cause they get cranky if you put too much in your luggage. What I wouldn't have given for the Falcon not gonna lie.

I had heard that this week is the time for cookouts and celebration for your country's freedom. I know I had told some that I was excited to see how this would turn out [...] however, I must rescind my plans to join as I had said I would. I've taken ill recently and I wish to spend these days in the comfort of my castle while it's still here.

From what I've heard, however, cookouts seem to be a thing over the next two months anyway, so I will be glad to join when I'm better.

FILTERED TO NON-VOLTRON PPL WHO GOT MITHRIL (raw or item)

Hey folks. Uh, quick question: does anyone still have some mithril? Willing to trade for it or something? I'm willing to offer money, services, or future loot. TYVM.

TEAM VOLTRON "-SHIRO"

Morning everyone. The future memory update have struck again. This time it hit Shiro. Don't ask me for many details, I don't have them. And we'll all get to hear about them in a few days. So please give Shiro his space. He's asked for it, and he deserves as much from all of us.

You stay calm, you get to know what I know. :)))))

SHIRO

Hey, so wrote the team. You can read it here. You do you man, for space and network. But they come to this house for you, I'm stopping them.

Is there anyone here who can manipulate or is unaffected by electricity/lightening and would be a willing training partner? It's been too long since I've been able to get much practice in.

[ SCOTT MCCALL ]
Once I'm finished with school, and you've earned some vacation days, do you want to take a trip?

Voltron

I just wanted to let you that Alice and I broke up today.

[OOC: A few hours after this post.]

Hello, my name is Steve Rogers.

Still getting up to speed on everything. I've been reading a lot of internet.

Anything important I need to know? Heard we won the war, so that's a good start. Dem bums win a World Series yet? Still have a couple hours left before I can leave quarantine.

Sometimes I love the internet. Pride dice on Kickstarter. So I'll be getting me some of those.

Sidenote, we should definitely play some kind of campaign. We = if you would want in on this and Matt Holt.
