I am leaving.

My name is Jake. That's all you need to know.

I don't find myself burdened with nostalgia, as there is no time that cannot be improved with false remembrances. But while I find there to be many frivolous technological advances that I cannot wrap my head around in the years that I have been between Worlds, one that I cannot find fault with is the camera. I had a very old one (a daguerreotype, actually) that required its sitters to be perfectly still; Bod was too much a fidgeting child for me to ever catch his likeness. Not that it matters, since my belongings did not follow me into this universe.

But I maintain that there are quite a few of the Living and the Dead along the way that should have been immortalized in light and shadow of the camera's recording. Faces I have missed seeing, people whose features grow more vague with the ticking of the clock. In some ways it is a comfort to think that here, there are those who have the faces of others.

Perhaps I will see their likeness again, someday.

Good day, mortals and slightly immortal beings alike. There are quite a few more of you here than in the summer months when last I visited.

Some of you I have seen before whilst others I met in the halls of Asgard. For the time being, I shall take my place among you and Loki (the small one) has kindly allowed me to quarter with him.

Americans, congratulations upon your primary warrior's day of birth. It is a shame that he is dead. Do you think, perhaps, it was the wooden teeth? Had he lived, he would have been 276 years old. That is still considered hale and youthful where I come from.

Due to SHIELD training, I can no longer devote an adequate amount of time to teaching you three Biology, so I need to shift you over to Professor Xavier's class. He is an exceptional teacher and you could do no better as far as I am concerned.

I will make the changes on the roster myself, so you don't need to do anything but arrange to be in Xavier's class. I apologize for any inconvenience.

I didn't get to thank you properly for the purse. It's gorgeous. I was wondering if you wanted to go out and do something soon? Dinner or maybe something more fun?

Posted via Journaler.

I will say this only one more time.

Threatening to injure or kill anyone in this world, whether the person is a fellow resident of Potts Tower or a native citizen of this world, is not going to be tolerated by myself or by SHIELD or by those in charge of protecting all of us, although I do not speak for them. I strongly suggest that all of you keep this in mind, and that you do everything within your power to keep yourselves in line. We want this to be a safe place to live, and we need your help in doing so.

FILTERED TO TONY STARK & PEPPER POTTS:

Darcy seems to believe that Peter Pettigrew would be better off not living in Potts Tower, for his own safety. I told her I'd mention it to you two. I don't know what happened at SHIELD when he arrived. I can only assume they discovered that he has yet to commit the atrocities he later does, but as you both know, my status with SHIELD is non-existent now. I don't know why I bother defending

I find no wisdom in telling people immediately of their future. No, we cannot stop others outside of this tower from asking questions about it or sharing secrets.

But what is the point in laying our dooms upon our heads right as we step through that portal? It's difficult to bear when we've already committed our deeds let alone to be told we will do something we haven't yet done in our lives.

My adviser had the good grace to allow me a few days to adjust before I pursued him in search of answers. Have you no thought to do the same?

My...and people think I'm evil.

I suppose in a way, I am but I think a few people from those Potter books could give me a run for my money. And yes, there was a bit of sarcasm in that. Today is just filled with drama.

I wonder if I'll ever have a doppelganger arrive here. I've already been told I look like some girl from a mermaid show, still have no clue what she was talking about, but I'm going to assume that it was something stupid.

People sure get their panties in a twist over a little murder here.

Seriously though, I googled him. His body count is like barely double digits. That's like complete wuss numbers compared to a majority of Potts Towers residents. Probably racked a higher count on my first day on Pandora.

Is it because he's not like hot or something?

I rarely post on this network, It's just not my cup of tea. Seeing the kind of drama it can attract, I think I'm glad it's not my cup of tea. don't people have better things to do than fight with strangers on the

So just finished reading the book I'm in, finally. As weird as it was reading the stuff from my point-of-view, it was even weirder reading stuff from the people I know. Like now I know how Jericho's stuck on me, and I think I am too at the end?? That's just great- And then like, there are even people I don't know, but I'm weirdly connected to and stuff. Like this one guy came to my Uncle's museum and then just bolted out one day, had no clue who he was, but apparently he's a big character in the book too and is all goofy for one of my friends. Who woulda thought.

It was pretty alright reading though, over all.

In other news, the talk show people had stuff about the presidents on today for Presidents Day. Pretty jazzed that not only will there be an Irish-Catholic president, but that he'll be ranked the number two sexiest president of all time. Not really sure why Teddy Roosevelt came in first though...

Did Dresden break his phone?

You know what the best part of Valentine's day is? All the DISCOUNTED CHOCOLATE when it's over. Come to think of it, it's the best part of Easter too. I'm pretty sure I have enough to last me until the next chocolate coated holiday without needing any other type of food substance to stay alive. Thanks again Tin Man for the allowance. It's going to great use. :D

Come! Come! To sing and dance with us! The Ainur have blessed us! Come! Sing in celebration of Fingon the Valiant! He has returned from the endless dark!

Come!

Well... okay.

I'm still really bummed that Lady Gaga had to cancel her tour. I was looking forward to meeting her, and I was so excited about to taking our class to see one of her shows. Maybe next tour? She's supposed to be coming out with a new album, so... we'll see. I hope her surgery goes well. :( Buffy, we should totally send her something. Get well soon flowers? I'll try to reach her publicist.

In the meantime, Justin Timberlake came out with a new music video and I'm kind of obsessed with it. I think it must be the suits. And the dancing. Maybe he'll go on tour and we can meet him instead. Pity he's married now. :( That's always how it goes, huh?

It's still totally mind-boggling whenever I see a picture of myself bein... well, being myself, and people actually taking to it well. It feels weird to be open about my powers, but I think the more people here see that someone like myself is just a normal girl, the less afraid they'll be. Maybe I got my powers from an alien, but I'm not dangerous and I don't want people to think I am. So I guess... worth it in the end? Maybe I should've done this a while ago.

A big thank you to Luke and Thalia for showing me the joys of chocolate and candy, especially how inexpensive it was was after Valentine's Day. And so many sparkly things. Chocolate is delicious. As is candy. And gummy bears - I have never met a real bear, but I do like gummy bears.

I received a message that my Captain is here! But that he is inured and will be in medical for a few days. How am I supposed to focus on anything knowing that Granby is here. I hope he remembers me. Temeraire didn't remember going to South America or mating with me..

This probably goes without saying, but I highly suggest you all strengthen the wards around your flats, if you have them. If you don't, put them up immediately. If you need help, let me know. I'm pretty good at them. I'm sure there are others here who are as well. Just because he hasn't betrayed us yet at his age doesn't mean he isn't capable of it. I think we should be prepared for every possibility.

We can't kill him or even really hurt him, fun as it sounds. Even if we wiped his memories, some of us were stupid enough to threaten him, so a trail is bound to lead back to us. If he tries anything, we have to be ready, but I for one don't want to go to jail for the likes of him.

How long did people here wait to start looking for a job? I need to find one, but I have certain limits.

It has been a thoroughly exhausting time for all of us, and though I am scared upset over Peter being here, I cannot properly express with words just how grateful I am to those of you who defended us. Our lives have been tainted by what happened, but I refuse to hand over power to Peter. He will not ruin our lives here. We've all got a second chance at having good, proper lives now, with the benefit of knowledge and foresight.

I know it's short notice, but James and I would love to have you over to our apartment tonight. I'm going to make a big dinner, so there'll be lots to eat and drink, and we can all be together and support one another. Some of you might not even have met yet, but I want my friends from home to meet the people I have befriended here, because you're all the best kinds of people, and I love you.
