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

I think I need your help.

So with the Spellmans and their funeral parlor gone, what's the game here?

I heard you were looking for something from the Sheriff's department for an FNRB program?

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

MARIA HILL, STEVE ROGERS AU, WAVERLY EARP, LOKI (616):

I'm thinking we should do a "Welcome to Tumbleweed" sort of course. There's a few people from various time spans and worlds who could use a 101 type class.

Anyone up for taking this on?

STEVE ROGERS (MCU)

Hey, just checking

I know you'll be okay bu

Not sure what you're supposed to say to yourself when the girl of your dreams disappears

I know she was never going to love me the way she loved you but

Neither the pep talk or condolences feel appropriate here. You probably know everything I'd say to you anyway. But I'm around if you need a distraction.

I have some important questions. Did I hit my head somewhere on our way off the island? And if so, exactly how hard did I hit it?

Hi, I'm Dr. Liv Moore. I know, laugh it up, but I've seen that some of your are new here and didn't get to meet me or Dr. Frankenstein from the Bureau. We work at the Bureau, giving vaccinations and making sure that the Displaced are healthy. We have an off-site campus that Dr. Hank McCoy runs for those who aren't comfortable with the Bureau's anti-power wards.

I wanted to make a note that I know there were robot doctors and holograms and other things, but if you feel like you want to see a normalISH human doctor, I'm here. I'm sure the others would agree with me, but I'll let them pipe up here.

Anyway, who is up for some karaoke?

[EPS Staff + Natasha Romanoff]

Tina and Bucky, they had a ward when they were both here. Has anyone heard from the kid? Has he checked in?

[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.

CURRENT DATA:

Missing

Anka Irene	Doose's Market - Council 1	Biological Tracking

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

Hello, inhabitants of Tumbleweed. My name is Clover Ebi. My friend and I have just arrived and, despite the arcane technology, I have been informed this is the best way to reach out to the rest of you who are here. I believe 'the Displaced' was the current term used to describe us all, but please correct me if I'm wrong. I'd like the opportunity to get to know the people here better, but I understand to get information, sometimes one must give information, so let me start it off.

I hail from the kingdom of Atlas. I'm the leader of the kingdom's Ace Operatives and a huntsman. I have heard this place is different from Remnant and you do not have much need for Huntsman and Huntresses as there are no Grimm. I'm sure I can take my skills from home and apply them wherever necessary should we be here for a while. Not that there's anything to go back to for me

My friend, Qrow Branwen, is a huntsman as well. He may be a little less optimistic than the regular person, but he's really not as bad as he makes himself out to be. Don't take his words to heart. He doesn't mean half of what he says.

Please, if someone could direct me somewhere that I could find reasonably priced and well made clothing, I would appreciate it. I came with only one outfit and it is, rather unfortunately, destroyed and soaked in blood. And any tips for a new outfit for a man who wears a cloak that looks like it's been half eaten by a Grimm would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I'd like to give a thank you to the medical team for setting me straight and for whoever made those handy potions.

[FNRB]

Something that's been bothering me about our newest visitor. We know who she is, but what's her endgame? How do the missing animals or dreams play into that? Is this an attempt to create her own kingdom or something else?

Any ideas? It could be the key to stopping her.

I thought he went by Snoop Lion.

You know, I lived in Seattle for my entire life, and I never got seasonal depression until I came here. Land of the overcast days with a little rain. It doesn't rain the way you think it does there. It's more like... half the year, but it's like misting. Drizzle. It doesn't last long. Maybe I'm used to it and that makes this span of NO RAIN harder for me?

IDK.

Semi-late night thoughts by Liv Moore.

I think it's going to be a sleepless night.

[Filtered to FNRB leadership]

I've been thinking of making a post following up on last week's earthquake, but I wanted to get an opinion if it's maybe overstepping:

On the last several cruises or... world changes, we've had some degree of security / watch / etc. People have come together but it's kind of added to the chaos of our initial arrival trying to set up while everyone's sorting out our new environment, arrival procedures, and if/where everyone's loved ones are.

So I'd been thinking of posting to coordinate something like a meeting some 4-6 hours after arrival which gives people time to both assess our new situation and get their friends and family situated but also address security concerns expediently.

Is that just poking the bear? Would it read as too Bureau affiliated? It feels like a decent idea but, do you think it would be well-received?

I wonder whether anyone would be willing to offer some - I don't quite know whether to call it financial advice, or arithmetic. In your dollars, is thirty-seven millions considered to be rather a lot? It sounds like rather a lot.

I'm having a hard time coming up with things to ask Santa.

ZELDA SPELLMAN:

Hi, so Ororo told me I could contact you directly for future services. She'd like to get out of the brain business, and I can't say I blame her.

It's about that time, so I was wondering if I could maybe get an order?

CLIVE BABINEAUX:

If I went out on a date, would you watch Zero for the night?

STEVE ROGERS AU:

Do you have plans this Friday?

I was thinking we should toss something together for people who are working tomorrow.

Anything you want for dinner tomorrow?

Bucky Barnes (PH)

Can you lie yet?

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.

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

[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.

[ FILTERED TO TINA COHEN-CHANG & JAMES ROGERS ]
Hi. Howard showed up. I'm not dealing with that very well. Wrote you two letters, but they got rambly and too honest, so I burned them. I love you two, but I gotta take off for a little bit. I won't be gone for too long though, but take care of Han and Kap while I'm away, yeah? I'll be in touch. - Disregard. Staying.

[ FILTERED TO STEVE ROGERS SQUARED ]
Not dealing with Howard being here very well so I'm taking some time away. I know it'll be hard, but don't do anything stupid while I'm gone. Disregard. Staying.

[ FILTERED TO NATASHA ROMANOFF ]
How is he?

[ooc; Talk of murder, assassin triggers, and death in comments.]

I HAVE A SON?!

Jarvis, I need a drink.

Peg, help me out here, will ya?

Steve! How... how friggin many of you are there?

....that's one hell of a smooth process for newcomers. How long has this been happening for them to get it that perfect?!

I HAVE A SON??!!?!??!

It seems that quite a few curses have lifted. When should I start being concerned that my nocturnal feline adventures might become permanent? Has anyone ever not recovered from some random madness brought on by this place?

[FNRB]

It appears as though several among our staff have been altered. Please check in here to let us know if you are among those affected and we'll ensure coverage for your position.

I don't know what the hell that invitation is about, but I want you two to look after each other and the others until we can get back from Paraguay.

And Steve, you better be taking breaks between shifts or I'm going to kick your ass.

[Filtered to the Paraguay team and FNRB base members]

We've discovered another portal here. It appears to have gone offline on the date of the attack on soldiers at our base during the 90s and then come online again the day of the attack.

There are records of others having come through this portal. I'm enclosing their names and the information we have about them in a file. We need someone to try and locate where they might currently be.

We have a body to transport back for an autopsy as well as several photographs and video evidence to go through.

We're still working through numerous sources of material here and will report in anything else we might find.

If you have been on shift for more than 12 hours today, you are required to utilize the room designated for rest and get a few hours of sleep before continuing with work.

[Bucky Barnes (PH)]

I had a good time this weekend. Nope sounds like Thanks for taking me to see Brooklyn, Buck. Pretty amazing how much it still feels like home even after all these years. We gunna make it a habit of forcing each other to do something fun every once in a while? Because I would be okay with that.

[Tony Stark (MCU)]

Any time in particular work for you to come over? You mentioned wanting to show me something?

I say this with great annoyance (recognizing that likely no one here is to blame):

Avengers, assemble.

Meaning, is there anyone here who actually knows who I am?

The fine folks at Fort Neil Resetttlement Bureau still need your help.

As you know we’ve had quite a few disappearances lately, friends and loved ones that will be missed. It’s left some holes that need to be filled in our schedule. I know standing around as a guard isn’t glamorous. You may feel like your time and experience could be better used somewhere else. But as a guard, you’re the first line of defense for our community, and the first friendly face for new arrivals. The job is important and the pay is pretty good, too.

We provide training and work with whatever circumstances the portal throws our way. Please consider pitching in.

Thank you.

[Bucky Barnes (PH)]

I got us tickets to a minor league game a few towns over. I got our work schedules covered for the time and if I have to come over and pack your bag myself, don’t think I won’t.

[Bucky Barnes (PH)]

Hey Bucky, can I ask you about something?

Hello Everyone. Some of you may know me, my name is Steve Rogers and I'd like to ask for your assistance.

We're all a long way from home. Some of us have been here for some time and others are still coming in. It may not be the community we asked for, but we're all we've got. The fine folks at the Fort Neil Resettlement Bureau need your help to keep our community safe.

Each person that comes in is welcomed at FNRB. Each threat that comes through? That's assessed and dealt with by the FNRB, too. But we're understaffed. We need more guards, more staff. The pay is pretty great and so are the benefits.

Some of you have special powers or abilities. That's great. Many of you don't. We need you, too. With enough people, we can also provide time for additional training and have plenty to cover for time off. If you care about your new found community and want a way to help out, please consider signing up at FNRB.

Thank you

I heard through the grapevine that you were responsible for the fireworks display last week. It was amazing. I don't think I've seen anything quite like it. Thank you.
