the displaced; ic

In two days I'll have been here 4 years. And there was Mt. Weather before that. All that time we never had any control over the portal. Pretty wild to even think of that being a possibility.

GABRIEL & JO HARVELLE & BUFFY SUMMERS, separately

What are your thoughts on staying or going, if we have a choice in the matter?

[Sam Winchester]

Please tell me you are normal.

Excuse me while it took me a while to eventually get on the network about my situation. I was taking the time to figure out what the fuck happened in 2031 or happened in 2020, and realized, this is 2020's fault.

Spoiler for the future: nothing changes with the portal.

I guess I should look on the bright side and just be glad I'm not five years old again.

So, good news: The Roadhouse is still up and running, and I don't foresee any interruption this week, or for however long this goes on for.

I see I am not the only unusual arrival today. My designation name is Justice of Toren One Esk Nineteen. It's quite long, but One Esk is a common nickname.

I'm an ancillary from a Radchaai ship and am quite fond of singing. Are any of you musically inclined? I'd very much like to learn old earth music.

[Friends of Buffy & Sam W.(sans Sam)]

Hey guys short notice and all that what with the whole no longer space cruising, but it's Sam's birthday and I figured maybe we could do games and pizza or something at my place tonight. If you're available, come on by?

[Sam W.]

Hey, pizza my place tonight?

MATT MURDOCK

Hey. This is kinda random, but last time we had this situation where people don't have private rooms, I had a kid staying with me to give her brother and his husband some privacy. Would you mind if she crashed with us sometimes?

I'll set something up for her to sleep, you don't have to worry about that. And she's like 13 I think? So it's not like, having a toddler around. She's pretty self-sufficient.

I have a hypothetical curious question about livers.

( Cut for CW: surgery/surgical procedures, possibly in comments too )

[Filtered To Friends]*

So. My birthday is on the 26th. And since I'm turning 31 in space, why not take advantage of it? I'm open to ideas, but I'm thinking maybe hitting up the spa or shopping during the day, then dinner some really fancy, then dancing and drinks? I'm open to suggestions, too.

(OOC: Feel free to assume. If they've talked, then they can probably see this. Donna's pretty friendly)

Any guesses on whether or not if we pack a bag of 100% perfect outfits for a space voyage, that we'll actually get to take it? Or is this gonna be one of those 'hey, have your steampunk cosplay' types of situations again?

Asking for a friend, who really wants to take her perfect boots into space.

Has everyone's pets and Pokemon and whomever come back by now?

Filter: Sam Winchester

If she's back, I need you to bring in Bridget. Sneak her into the clinic if you have to. I need her.

If she's not back, then... don't tell me. Make up something.

[Filtered away from Maleficent]

Okay. So...I'm not really sure who I would filter this to, but I want to be able to help out. I found out from someone that there's a version of Maleficent here. In my world, where I'm from, she's my mom. I don't think this version here knows me, because if she did, I feel like she'd definitely reach out, at least for being pissed off for me betraying her.

...Anyway, the point I'm trying to make here is that back where I'm home, she taught me pretty much everything she knows, so I guess I can help if you need it? I haven't been here very long, so I don't really know what her game is, but if I can help, I'd like to.


...I can also turn into a giant dragon, in addition to knowing magic, so there's that, too.

[1] Did you wake up feeling a little like you're in a Hitchcock movie?
[2] Cause I walked outside and like the birds are following me - it's creepy

WHO: Buffy Summers & Sam Winchester
WHEN: January 19, evening following the birthday party.
WHERE: The Bunker.
SUMMARY: Defining the relationship, a bit.
WARNINGS: I can't think of any.

( You’re welcome to stay. )

[Filter: Friends*]

So, I'm kinda gonna be out casual patrolling a little more frequently when I'm not at the Bureau doing portal patrol. If anyone wants to join me - assuming you're cool with dealing with murder types - let me know?

*If you think you are, you probably are fine!

You know, there's having a hangover, then there's having a hangover because you got to go see the Super Bowl.

I'll take the Super Bowl hangover over the regular hangover.

WHO: Sam Winchester + his Quidditch team (Flash Thompson, Steve Harrington, Buffy Summers, Stephen Strange, Rasalas Black), Gabriel, Selina, and others could have been invited by someone on this list if they want?? I don't have a specific # of tickets, just don't get too wild with it.
WHAT: Superbowl party! Sam got tickets from Santa.
WHEN: Today!
WHERE: Florida, apparently
WARNINGS: Possible spoilers for the score/winner if you care about that I guess

IC/OOC thread! Sam got lots of tickets from Santa and invited his Quidditch team + a few other friends. Come party with him.

I don't really know what comments to put up here so just put things wherever. XD

Has anyone seen Clint?

WHO: Sam Winchester, Buffy Summers, friends of both (especially Buffy)
WHAT: Surprise party for Buffy's bday!
WHEN: Today, Sunday the 19th
WHERE: The Bunker
WARNINGS: TBD
NOTE: I came up with this idea last month and accidentally posted a thing for it waaaay ahead of time, took it down, and then forgot to put it back up at an appropriate time. PLEASE assume all of Buffy's friends were invited and warned that it was a surprise, etc.

( nothing pretty behind the cut, but lots of fun to be had! )

WHO: Buffy Summers & Sam Winchester
WHEN: December 24, evening.
WHERE: The Summers residence.
WHAT: Artistic cookie decorating, eggnog drinking, and some flirting ahead.
WARNINGS: I don't believe any.

( You get the cookies, I'll get the egg nog, and Merry Christmas to us. )

[Eliot]

Hey, so I saw the notice thing and got busy but I wanted to check in with you.

You okay?

[Friends (feel free to assume if you've had interactions with Buffy)]

So, I'm really in the mood to watch Legally Blonde and other power girl movies - feel free to suggest - is anyone interested?

Bro, Sam, you asking for Super Bowl tickets must be good luck, 'cause this game is already gonna be 100 times better!

Well I suppose this is better than death, but Texas? Really? Almost wonder if there's an angel version of Hell. Better than Iowa anyway.

Honestly, all I can think to ask Santa for is money and weapons (and I've got most of those from home already). I need suggestions.

BUFFY SUMMERS

I'm thinking of getting a Christmas tree on Tuesday afternoon. Any interest in joining me? We could maybe do some decorating after too.

Filter: Sam Winchester

You don't happen to have more of that sleepytime tea around, do you?

WHO: Buffy & Sam
WHEN: 25 September
WHERE: Buffy's house.
SUMMARY: Anti-brooding game play, pizza, and booze.
WARNINGS: None that I can think of.

( Maybe shots and a board game? )

I've thought of what the afterlife would be like a handful of times, but never thought that it would be Texas. Or that it wouldn't even actually be the afterlife, and that I'd just somehow be alive again.

But hey, at least I have a place to live, because it showed up with me somehow. So that's something, I guess.

Calendar says there's another Earth holiday at the end of this month. Does this one come with some sort of warning, or is it tamer than the last one? I'd like to skip the whole dying part of Earthly celebrations if I can help it.

For those who don't have someplace to go Thursday, or would rather grab a drink instead of celebrating, the Roadhouse'll be open from 5-midnight. I'll fix a few dishes, but you don't have to partake if you don't want.

Filter: Rogue

Hi, sorry, I've been going through things. I'm sorry about Erik.

Filter: Sam Winchester

That cop told you, didn't he?

I took a cursed nap, my husband was a bird, and none of this is even shocking anymore.

FILTERED AGAINST CROWLEY & MICHAEL

So, now that Crowley's back, if anyone wants a crash course on how to defend yourself against my world's variety of demons, let me know. Also will do a refresher course for anyone who already knew the drill but hasn't had to think about it in a while. I always have extra holy water, salt, and pictures of devil's traps that you can use as a stencil for putting them anywhere, for anyone who needs them, as well as anti-possession amulets and tattoo designs. I also have the words to an exorcism and a recording of it that you can play on your phone, it works just as well that way.

Most importantly: don't make any deals. Period, end of story. If you run into any kind of trouble with him, please let me know immediately and I'll handle it.

Hello, boys and girls, and Moose. Name's Crowley. King of Hell. 😈

Get your freaking out or pissing yourselves or impotently threatening me out of your systems while we're not face-to-face. Let's be civil. Have me round for tea or buy me a drink. I promise I won't bite unless I feel like it.

So who's still affected by curses? And is there anything I can do? Like bring you bird seed or go to the butcher shop for animal leftovers? Maybe you need buckets for all those pearls?

[Filtered to EPS teachers, students, and guardians]

Alright. So this is a quick census. How many people among us are affected by these fairy curses, particularly in a way that would impede teaching or attending classes in the traditional sense.

Bear in mind, we're an accessible school with creative amplification and remote broadcasting capabilities.

[Filtered to Cable]

Did you make it back alright?

If anyone needs anything, let me know. I can't talk, but that seems to be one of the less debilitating fairy effects to deal with.

[...] My classes are certainly going to be interesting.

ILLYANA RASPUTINA

Are you alright? I saw you change at the ball.

Did anyone figure out who these faeries were? Did anyone recognize them from their world? Did they leaving any way of contact behind?

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! )

I do find it difficult for me to resist a ball, but the mysterious nature of this one has me feeling hesitant. I have no experience with faeries. Ought I be concerned if I attend?

[Filtered to Mycroft]
What do you think? Do you plan to go?

Stupid question maybe, but do we think these are from one of our worlds, or like, just random portal nonsense?

[Filter: Finn & Rey]

I was going to say we should start thinking about the bonfire, but my party mood's been disrupted with current talk.

Who needs a weapon made of cold iron? I will charge at cost. Don't worry if you can't pay me back now, we can work something out later. I don't think this will work but if it will make you feel more safe...

Nice game you got here. Would be a shame if something happened to it.

Knock knock!

[ooc: after Quidditch]

Sucks. That was fun though.

I feel like watching other people play quidditch, may be as helpful as me actually practicing quidditch at this point. I'm certain that point will pass pretty quickly.

[Heliopaths]

So, Tomorrow. Go Team, or something like that? I've never really done the sports thing.

BUCKY BARNES (PH):

Heyyyyyyyyy bro.

So I'm sort of breaching something here when I decided to tell you this, but that woman? She's married. Wasn't sure if you knew that or not.

I know because her husband hired me because he's, you know, suspicious. I got rid of the photos, but you know.

SAM WINCHESTER:

I got a memory upgrade last night on a stakeout. I guess I must have fallen asleep.

Anyone here handy with locks?

HELIOPATHS*

Don't worry, team, I've found you another player. My grandson, James Sirius Potter. Give him a big Quidditch welcome!

Also, please nominate and take a team vote on your new Captain. You can do it right now, or decide later as a team. I just need to know who you picked before your first game on September 9th so I can make sure your new Cap knows all their duties. The very first one is, of course, running practices and helping to identify what your team needs to work on. I can help with that too if you want to come to any of the Quidditch lessons at the Pit.

Good luck!

EDIT: Seeing as another spot just opened up on your team, I've also added a new beater to your ranks. Please welcome Drax to the team as well.

*James Sirius, Flash Thompson, Max Guevara, America Chavez, Fred Weasley, Sam Winchester, Thalia Grace. ADDED LATER: Drax

(added later)
DRAX

Hey. You interested in playing Quidditch on a team?

Weasley Wizards Wheezes is hiring for product development and shop work. Experience with muggles and muggle technology preferred. Magic is optional.

Those interested bring ideas for adaptation of cartoon products from a few weeks back. There is also a prank component to the interview.

[Filtered to Heliopaths (America Chavez, Sam Winchester, Max Guevara, Thalia Grace, Flash Thompson)

We're down a player. We don't have a captain.

Maybe we just sit the season out.

CYCLOPS & ROGUE (616) (WITH SAM WINCHESTER):

Hey bros. I got a kid who is going to be going to the EPS starting next week, and I had a couple of questions.

First of all, she's Molly Hayes, and I understand she's got some beef with you and the Avengers for trying to make them go to school and get put in foster homes. Generally trying to break up her family. She's probably going to have nicknames for you all so sorry not sorry about that. (They're kind of funny.)

Second, she's got a telepathic cat named Rufus. He was created, but he was created from mutant genes, so he's technically a mutant too. Can she bring him with her?

And finally, is there some kind of fees that we're going to get slapped with for like lunches or if she wants to play on a soccer team?

[Private to Kate Bishop & Sam Winchester]

So I don't really want to do this, but Henry said we could try to start a soccer team and I've come to the depressing realization that I can't play soccer at regular school because we're not supposed to draw attention to ourselves or WHATEVER.

I guess I should go to dumb old X-Men school with dumb old Crylops and dumb old Frosted Flakes. No wait. She can't be Frosted Flakes because I like those. I need a dumb name for Emma Frost.
