The Doorway: a panfandom game

I have been wondering a lot, lately. What kind of changes have become part of me, now? I am changed by those who I have met, and befriended. I am glad for such changes. Now if they could turn me into a social creature we'd count it as a win.

Who's spent the last week pretty much camped out in their office, avoiding people and social situations? I might be guilty.

Molly Carpenter, Jason Todd Wayne

Oh and Molly, Jason - my apologies for the smell of burnt roses. I mucked up a potion. I guess my head wasn't in the moment.

Speaking of.. who wants to have dinner on me? I think I need to get out of the office and not be a hermit. Getting laid is not going to happen if I'm a hermit. Yeah, TMI, but I don't even care right now.

Molly C.
Hey.
Molls.
I think I figured something out for you, by the by

Got a proper job today after something like two months of searching. Finally found a bloke who didn't care that I'm Amelia Pond. He cares, but they don't seem to think it will affect my ability to write. Which it won't.

Even so, I'm using Amelia Williams as my byline. Feature stories and fact checking, all mostly from the comfort of Potts Tower.

If you took off the ridiculous hat and ignored the disgusting tattoos, this could be me and my daughter, Naleada. She was about this small when I was pulled here. Naleada is much prettier than the girl in this Muggle picture and why don't people move in Muggle photos? So strange, though I'm sure every parent feels that way about their child.

Someone had posted about visiting some children and playing with them - if there are babies that need to be held, I'd like to come along.

Does anyone else out there have family they miss terribly?

Ever wonder which dystopian future we'll end up living? Looks like Firefly just took the lead in those sweepstakes.

Or maybe it's just life imitating art.

I am pleased to have spent the last few weeks getting comfortable with my new roommate, and enjoying the comforts this city has to offer. I have spent time with friends, namely Regulus and Regina, and am content with how things are moving along here. I have no doubt soon I shall find work - I am not used to this level of creature comforts and miss those that I have at home. I have to work hard to get them here, but that is alright.

I am slowly learning things about this city, and I am not sure how much I truly understand. It's dirty, grimy, dark but also fun, lively and there's much to do. It's a city and that's all I can ever hope for. It's home now, and it's hard to imagine I have been here a month and change already! I am happy enough.

Regulus
How about dinner soon? something nice, out in the city?


Regina
I hope tea helped the other day.

Music recommendations? Something prog-rock? This guy I knew when I was way younger used to let me listen to this mixed CD, until we ran out of batteries.

Any night owls around? I can't be the only one in this grod-forsaken building who doesn't really sleep at night.

Not that I don't love being able to walk into a place and have people shove drinks at me, but I'm starting to think fame is overrated. Is it nice to be appreciated for the things you couldn't really brag about before without getting hunted down by the authorities? Sure. Is it worth being interrupted every twenty minutes so some hyperventilating man in a Trust Me, I'm a Jedi shirt can pump your hand and ask you what Boba Fett's like in person? Probably not.

I had a job with a garage here, but the whole first week I barely got my hands dirty. Yesterday it became pretty damn clear they were just showing me off, so I left. If I want to stand around signing autographs, I can find a street corner. And probably charge.

I'm thinking bicycle courier, next. Much easier to make a run for it.

Soooooo we're in lock-down at the research labs. (Not my fault, I wasn't even on that side at the time!)

If I die, can someone wipe my laptop hardrive and tell my memaw I love her?

Would you like to have dinner with me tonight? We haven't had much of a chance to talk since I got here.

BSG People

I have been wondering about something. Do we have a place of worship for the twelve gods here? I know it isn't our world but I think having something like that could be good to have.

People who work at the clinic

Hello, my name is Laura Roslin and I thought I should talk to you about something that has been on my mind lately. I don't know if you will be much help but as someone mentioned it cannot hurt to try. Not long before I came here I was cured of my terminal cancer by a means that isn't available here nor one that would work again if I believe my gut feeling. In the future, perhaps a year and a half to two years, I redevelop it and eventually pass away from it.

Is there anyone steps that could be taken to prevent it coming back or people from alternative worlds that might have a cure? Even if I return to my world before then, I don't want to die of cancer especially knowing that it will redevelop and that I didn't take steps to combat it before it did so.

Thank you for your time.
Laura Roslin

Would you like to join me for a coffee at some point?

This morning I received a call from the daycare center, and I got the job! I start on Monday. I'm so excited- I'll be helping with the two and three year olds, which I think will be one of the most fun age groups they could have put me with.

There's so much to do to prepare!

Oh my god I don't know where I am. I'm in New York and there are people with guns and I don't know how I got here and I don't know where I am.

What should I do?
I should call the police
That's what people do when they're kidnapped, call the police
But the police here have guns and they point them at me

Can anyone see this? HELP ME, PLEASE.

So, I've realized as of late that I, in fact, need to expand my wardrobe. Because, you know, my wardrobe is in another dimension somewhere. For some reason the cold weather this week struck me with the need to look cute when I'm out and about and cold. All of my coats are, well, strictly utilitarian. And that's no fun. And how do I expect people to be drawn to me when I want an interview if I don't make myself obvious?

So, Macy's trip after work tomorrow, or maybe even at lunch. Opinions are welcome.

Do I go red, but with class? Or what if I did orange and bold? But I could be a little more subdued with this chic plum. But there's also the flirty blue look.

Anyone? Help me out. What should Lois Lane, reporter, say here?

for anyone having trouble get The Ladies, i recommend following

p.s does anyone want to fight me? i mean, spar. that's the politically correct term isn't it? you just have to promise to put my limbs back on if you cut any off

I am beginning to get used to living in the man-world. Things are much better since we were moved to a chamber on the bottom floor. It feels more like home. Fiver is having less trouble sleeping now that we are in a sleeping room together. I am enjoying the classes that are teaching us about being human but I still forget what things are sometimes and that I no longer have a rabbit body. It feels strange.

Some of the humans have been very kind to us especially Lucy, Jason, and Harry Potter. Harry took me to the park so that I could see the grass. There was snow everywhere but it was still outside and that felt good. I am learning to eat man food although I am sticking to vegetables and other things that I ate when I was a rabbit. I will never eat meat though. I could never do that.

I wonder if I will ever be a rabbit again? I think about that sometimes especially when I cannot sleep.

It scares me a little.

I know I have only recently just arrived but I just though I might put this out there. Back home, I used to work as a counsellor and if anyone needs to talk to someone, I am always available. Sometimes it is easier to talk to a complete stranger than someone you know.

At least the Infinity Mansion isn't threatening to crush the city this time. I think I much prefer our old pocket dimension, though this one has its perks. Or it would it there weren't I was told there were people I knew here.

I have to say, I don't use this network as much as I could. I have periods where I use it an when I don't. I suppose it makes sense though with how busy I am. I've joined SHIELD to hopefully work as a Translator as well as teaching classes for Professor Sto Helit - while students didn't sign up for all the languages I am capable of teaching I do have a few students between my language class and archaeology one which is good. If any of you have any interest in learning a new skill or language I highly recommend it. There is a lot of different classes you can choose - just about anything you might want. I am actually tempted to sign up for some myself though I am not sure if I would have time. Between teaching, SHIELD and preparing the language learning information for Moya. Still, I wouldn't change it.

I have never been one to have much interest in familiars. I had never even bothered to own an owl. I worked at Hogwarts. It was pointless owning an owl when the school had more than enough to suit my needs. As for owning any other kind of familiar, I never saw the point. Unfortunately I had forgotten that when it comes to certain types of animals, the opinion of humans matters little.

Since she refuses to leave me alone and has scratched three people at the restaurant and bitten two when they tried to shoo her away, this is Bastet. She seems to approve of the name if her purring and infernal headbutting is any indication. If you see her, do not try and pet her, catch her or stop her. You will not like the results. You have been warned so do not whine at me when she maims you.

How is the planning going?

I'm engaged!!!

Two months. I've been here two months, and I still don't know what the hell I'm doing here. Sure, I've got classes and stuff, but it feels like I'm going soft. There's no purpose to what I'm doing here and I hate it.

Any chance I can throw some knives around tonight? Or tomorrow?

Think you can spare some time soon for me?

Several of us more technologically inclined have been working on a sort of unofficial side project regarding arrivals and departures and correllations to popularity of our sources or presence of other members of our groups--it's highly multivariate, And while it's easy enough to google practically any one of us and know everything from our birthdays to our deep dark secrets and futures, it seems people who are Avengers or Xmen or things like that are a bit harder to pull publicly available information on.

So is anyone a big fan of Marvel comics who'd be interested in joining up and helping fill in the gaps?

How are you doing? I'm going to make dinner tonight. I'd really like if we could be together. It feels strange here without Remus.

This is a funny sort of a place really, isn't it? It's easy to forget that it's unnatural, until the ground disappears beneath your feet.
