The Doorway: a panfandom game

So I watched that thing everyone was talking about...the super ball. No super bowl. I didn't find anything very incredible about it but then again I didn't understand most of it. I did however really enjoy the show that followed it. Elementary. I found it very interesting and I will be looking into that some more. Probably tomorrow. Apparently there are others.

My source material is a bit of a problem for me. I lack self control to We came back to the air and Is this our future? Is it set in stone? Is there a way to prevent things?

Who: Anakin Skywalker & Leia Organa
When: Monday morning, February 4th
Where: Just outside a market, not too far from Potts Tower
What: Leia gets harassed by some majorly creepy men; Anakin has an uncontrollable compulsion to help people (especially family, willing or not), so he steps in. Suffice to say she is not too pleased about interacting with him under any circumstances (and tbh she COULD have floored them herself), so they butt heads.
Rating: PG? PG-13? I'm so bad at ratings. Trigger warning for brief sexual harassment, and there are scattered mentions of general violence, but no description of it.
Status: Complete

» There were some men harassing Leia. I stopped them, and she got MAD at me.

I've never really been a fan of football (it's okay, I guess; I've always been more of a lacrosse fan), but that was a good game. Jim Harbaugh, however, needs an anger management lesson.

Also: Crabtree. Best. Name. Ever. If he ever became a superhero, he wouldn't even have to change his name.

i've happened upon a collection of the "harry potter" series. do i read it or just assume that anyone not on team potter are painted as terrible people?

Explain your realm to me a bit more, Rogers. SHIELD is offering employment to many of the people coming through the Tesseract, many of which whose experience in battle would rival yours. While I can certainly see the value in that, I do not see why they are being sent to sit in rooms of learning. It is like they are being trained as scholars.

The whims of the Tesseract are unpredictable and bold. Months could be spent in a classroom, only to have the warrior yanked away without notice, with no benefit to anyone. Perhaps that is SHIELD's gambit? Placate these warriors with something to do, so there is a minimal impact if they disappear? I have spent too much time with my brother, it would seem. Seeing plots where there may be none.

I wish to learn the game of baskets and balls. I witnessed a match on the television and it has intrigued me. Should there be any one here interested in putting together something impromptu, I would be grateful for your time and knowledge. Also, if there is not an elevated basket available in the tower, I would appreciate information on where to find one.

It appears we're in need of a new housing assistant now that Tara is gone. She and Willow were looking after floors 20 and 21. We're looking for someone over the age of 18. You must be from a time period within the last 10-20 years and a world similar to this one, as you'd be expected to help new arrivals get acclimated if they're from a different time or a different world. You'll need to understand how to help them find a job, how to help them navigate the public transportation system, modern currency, and so on. We'd like for you to have been here for two months or longer, but we may be flexible on that depending on the circumstances (for example, if you're native to a modern New York in your own world). This is a volunteer position, and it does come with a single room.

If you're interested, please contact me privately here and we'll let you know shortly. Thank you.

Here's my two cents
May ye rest in peace.

Now I have to sort out what I'm to do with my sock full of them once I get home. It's the best way to keep foreign currency organised, I think: fit it in socks, sorted by colour so that it's easy to retrieve! Who wants to be wasting valuable prep time sorting out coinage, after all? Just grab a sock and go!

Just so we're clear, since many of you are not from this time or planet, threatening someone - be it via internet, text message, telephone, or physically - is grounds for arrest and jail time of up to a year. Please don't threaten other refugees with swords or guns or your bare hands. We will hand over all documentation to the authorities. You do not have impunity.

Can we agree to make it a thing where we acknowledge that when you're reading 50 Shades of Grey in my coffee shop, I know you're reading smut. You know you're reading smut. It's smut, okay, and not even good smut. So let's do everyone a favor in this transaction and don't ask me if I've read it and mention, after my firm "No", say that it 'transformed your life'.

1)I didn't need to know that about you. You are a stranger.
2)Seriously, I looked over a few pages, it ISN'T EVEN GOOD SMUT!
3)Really, I can't emphasize how little I needed to know that.

Jack! I have a- well it's not really a problem but I need your advice on something.

Is there anybody here keeping track of what's going on? Are we keeping track of refugee stories and experiences in this world, aside from this network, I mean?

I've never known of anything like this to happen in the history of the Earth that I come from. If this experience is as unique as I think that it is, it's definitely worth documenting-- especially since we don't know when people come or go.

Coming from the perspective of an anthropologist, that is. So, that goes to say that I've gotten my hands on some video equipment, and if you want to go on the record about your experiences here, I'd be happy to listen to what you have to say.

Trying to get good malpractice insurance where I come from is a fucking nightmare, but insurance agents in this reality are full of even more shit than they are in the future. And believe me, I never thought I'd appreciate that element of my world. Some asshole had enough gall to laugh in my face when I told him who I was, and another just handed me his fucking therapist's card.

Sometimes I really don't get how grown ups survive. It's like some hit it and then all their sense just flies out their head cause they can drive and vote and other grown upy things.

Is there anyone here who is good at business, and who might possibly like to start a little restaurant with me?

I've found a place I have just enough money to rent for a month, and I have all sorts of Greek recipes from home, and I thought perhaps with the right decor and music, an ancient Greek restaurant might have a chance of making it.

I do like cooking so much; it's helped keep me calm during the past weeks of being here, and cooking for other people is even better.

I suppose, if I am going to live here (and I certainly don't want to go home), I need to do something to make myself useful.

I've flown around quite a few places, but nothing compares to New York at night. My nose might remain for a popsicle for a day after, but it's hard to complain with a view like that.

While I'm writing, for those of you who use magic, has being in this world affected it at all? I can't help but wondering if magic stems from a similar source in all universes, or if being in a different one messes with your ability to use it.

I know what I miss most about home. The Games. Not like Olympic games but games of strategy. Of skill. Of trust and daring. I miss rooftop zip lines. Parkour and train surfing has been a good substitute. I am enjoying that but I miss the other games a lot. It was something to look forward to in the twilight or late night. I am enjoying the music here, though, some of it is just amazing.

Anyone have a song they listen to on repeat? What is it and why do you like it?

It took me a few months, but I've finally conformed. I never thought I'd be one to wear trousers in public, but I suppose it has its benefits. I will not miss fighting with the wind.

Since I am in the business of making pies-that is, when I do have a business, pies is it-I've been hard at work making things, since I mostly don't know what to do with my time until I can have my own restaurant or Chuck comes or I go home or some combination.

That was long winded. Sorry.

Anyway, I've been thinking of Chuck, so I made some cup pies. I figure, what better way to get people to think of ordering from me than letting them sample the goods. So to speak. So I've made enough for pretty much anyone who'd like to to claim a cup pie and see if they don't get a bit hooked.
