the displaced; ic

Just checking in to say that I haven't been kidnapped (which surprises me more than any of you) and that I think I'm actually ready for my bed now. Or the couch.

Also I need doughnuts, so if anyone's up for it, I'm going to get some and that will be fine.

I'm going to just go ahead and be that person but... is anyone else waiting around for the other shoe to drop basically? This is kind of weird, and I guess I should be grateful it's been smooth sailing but usually by now, what I've seen here, something happens.

Of course, I also didn't want to jinx it by thinking about it, but I already thought about it and figured I might as well voice it.. and wonder who else was thinking about it. Or am I just being absolutely crazy?

Why bother giving us a travel brochure in English without adding English signs to navigate the ship?

[Vanya]

You didn't check in. But we're still alive so Everything good?

[Ava]

Found a spot. Only one issue.

Has anyone seen this woman? She does not have a tablet of her own. She's rather introverted, so she would not speak to you if she is your roommate, but I promise she is very kind. I have been unable to find her on my own and I am suspecting she may have been left back in Tumbleweed.

Which, if is the case, may be preferable. She was in the middle of reading Villette and I imagine she wouldn't want to be left in suspense for how it ends. But I'd like confirmation on whether she is in our company.

If you see her, please let me know.

Thank you.

ADULTS OVER 18:

We've recently lost a few guardians, and Sam Wilson, when he used to be here, had a running list of people who would volunteer if it was necessary.

If you'd like to add your name to the list, let me know here. This will especially help for the children who come through without anyone else from their world.

BUREAU'S SCIENCE + MAGIC TEAMS:

Anyone interested in helping a fellow Displaced member not vanish into nothingness?

[ ELIOT WAUGH & SABINE ]

I realize we all have bigger concerns with the pending cruise of doom and everything that will be impacted, but do either of you know if there are any plans for the Arts Center? You two worked closely with Tina on various projects. I'm wondering if the space is going to shut down or if there are plans to keep it going in the future after space is dealt with.

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.

[Filtered to EPS Staff]

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.

Space? Really?


[Ava]

Hi.

I'll be teaching boxing lessons at the gym, Monday through Friday, 4-5:30. All skill levels, come as often as you'd like. If there's interest I can run a few bouts.

Tuesdays from 5:30-7 I'll be offering a self-defense class. I'm also available to work one on one outside of those times.

[ Klaus ]

Your friend Dolores. She like mom?

Texas? Really?

I thought we were going back in time.

Five? Klaus? Luther? Allison? Vanya, even? Are any of you here?

FILTER TO JANE FOSTER AND LORNA DANE

So, waffles?

FILTER TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS

Check in.

I am unfortunately out of burritos, which is absolutely terrible. Incredibly impolite even. Of all the things to complain about, I know. Anyone bored enough to want to come with me to get more?

[The AA Group]

Yeah. Okay. Maybe I need help even finding the wagon again. I don't know if the timing is terrible or reasonable.

How many of us are even still here?

[Hargreeves]

If I give you a list of my hiding places, can you clean out the alcohol? Also ignore my pained sounds.

And maybe we could make a familial effort to have none in the house? I can move out, too. And then I can have none and no one has to worry if they want some. Either is fine.

Perpetual reminder the EPS is looking for people interested teaching History classes, Biology, Physics, and picking up our Early Childhood program for pre-school aged children.

[Filtered to Rogue, Lorna Dane + EPS Leadership]

We're out Early Child Program coverage.

I'm not entirely sure how to swing this while we find someone capable of handling gifted toddlers. Short of leaving them in the Danger Room--which feels like it's kind of down the list as far as options goes.

Does that mean I need to make my own psychic thing now? This place is...the worst.

SO if the world is currently rid of the meddlesome geese and/or if anyone isn't afraid of leaving their apartments because of them, would anyone be interested in a jam session sometime this weekend?

I thought I was seeing things, but then I realized I wasn't and I think I just got pranked by a goose? This has been a thoroughly terrible day.

[ ALLISON HARGREEVES ]

You stopped answering.

Are you considering seeing some kind of healer?

I'm trying a spell to counter act the truth effect going around.

Anyone want to try commenting with an obvious lie? Focus on the image and type.

FILTER TO PEGGY CARTER & STEVE ROGERS

Would the two of you like to come over one evening after work for dinner?

I'm intending to have company in the near future. Let me know if there is a date that is unsatisfactory for any of you.

FILTER TO JULIA WICKER

Would you like me to pack up your things and bring them over to Mr. Stark's?

[ HARGREEVES ESTATE ]

Do we want to do Thanksgiving this year?

Things have been horrible, but at least I have this. Choosing a ringtone is going to be so hard.
