The Doorway: a panfandom game

I feel it is my duty as a king of my people to clear up a bit of a misunderstanding that has surfaced this evening.

So, simply to make things clear:

Me.
A 'House Elf'

Lord Maitimo
A 'House Elf'

Me and Lord Maitimo.
A 'House Elf'.

I hope that makes things more clear.

Oh, and Russandol, I found this picture of you that I think is very much your likeness.

Brussels! I've got some options for us. Some are more promising than others.

- Manon Peeters: owns a B&B in the center of the city. Big fan of the show. Shockingly normal. I've looked up pictures of the B&B and it looks decent enough.

- Camille Janssens: has a townhouse downtown that looks great. Marble counters, her father's in the wine business, very posh. Has a stipulation that I'm not allowed to wear a shirt while on her property, so I vote no.

- Léa Wouters: will be out of town the next week to visit her boyfriend in Germany. Sounds ideal, right? She made the point of mentioning she has cameras in every room in her house. I don't know if that's her being careful about thieving or if she just likes to watch.

For the record, I'm still fine with smiling our way into a Four Star and seeing where it gets us.

Despite the slight hiccup with the dogs the other week, work is going well. I have to admit though I've been spending a lot of time there and not doing much else. I probably should change that but truthfully I just feel so out of place here, even after all of this time. I do appreciate the people I've met and talked to but still I miss home. I doubt no one doesn't miss their home but I think I'm having just due to how different the two worlds are. I've never been that good in crowds and I have never seen so many people in one place before - not even in Sitrium which was our main city where I lived.

I joined the others watching the Oscar's the other night and I have to say I didn't understand what was happening in the slightly from the jokes to the movies. I had heard of a couple of the movies but not well enough to really understand what was happening. People seemed to be enjoying themselves though.

I have been trying to find a church that I can attend while here. I am Christian but it seems a lot of churches aren't taking new members or perhaps I am going about this the wrong way? Does anyone have any suggestions?

SHIELD training is going well, I'm glad to be able to work in the labs. What they're doing in there is absolutely amazing and challenging which I'm grateful for. It is much better than being bored after all. The people I'm working with are incredibly nice and helpful too which is definitely an added bonus.

I enjoyed seeing a lot of you again the other night. We should do it again at some point.

As if it's not bad enough that everyone I know has at least one doppelganger here and a large portion of the population has seen my life and all of my secrets on television My friends and I are on the cover of Entertainment Weekly. I am so glad that our lives are apparently so entertaining. That was fun to see on the table at Starbucks.

I'll likely just shoot an email to SHIELD administrators but does anyone know if we can enroll in an actual high school rather than taking the classes offered here?

Are you doing any investigative work here?

[sam winchester]

I've compiled and copied a report regarding startin a non-profit organization and advocacy group. The key points are outlined in the front and explored more thoroughly in the following pages and the document also includes suggested mission statements and by-laws for your consideration in accordance with the state of New York. You will need to elect a board of directors, select an official name to file with the New York Secretary of State and ... actually, I'll just give you a copy of this report or else I'll end up typing up the ridiculously long document here with far less user-friendliness than the tabbed and color-coded report possesses. I'm not sure when you are meeting, but I've gathered the necessary forms to file for your business, as well, so that you can use the meeting to complete them to save from having to use another meeting at a later date for that purpose.

I went to Central Park for the first time today. There was a man who I knew from New Brunswick. His name was Charlie Morris, I think it's important to remember names. Anyway, he told me he'd worked for six months in New York City, told me all about the park. I wonder how different it is now than it was then.

I wonder what Charlie would think of this. Not sure what I think of it myself, but I sat under it for a good long hour. The ground was not so cold and I've never felt so reverent eating a tuna sandwich

I've found I miss the strangest things about London.

I miss my family and friends, of course, but that is to be expected. There's nothing unusual about that. It's the odd little things that make me stop and think "Now why should I even notice that?"

I miss walking across the street - just walking across, without bothering about getting to the corner. I miss Penn State Sour Cream & Chive Pretzels. I miss public loo stalls that go all the way to the floor.

Odd, isn't it? I can still cross streets. There are dozens of flavors of pretzels. The public loos are perfectly serviceable. It's just that it's not home.

I have found myself the owner of a pair of mice. I've never actually had a pet, unless you counted the mice in the lab. It is a novel experience having them as pets. Though luckily taking care of those in the lab at least means I knew how to take care of these.

There may have been a rather large sum of money spent purchasing accessories for their habitat. The cage may be a bit large for just two mice, but they do have plenty to do. Actually they are fairly entertaining to watch. They make the evenings more interesting at the very least.

Their names are Fiora and Maria.

I have mastered Fruit Ninja!


Well, not really.... I have unlocked all the backgrounds and swords though! I'm looking for new games to play now. I've got Words with Friends, which is really challenging for me, but still fun. So I'd like other fun games that are kind of like Fruit Ninja and less like Words with Friends. Oh and I have played Angry Birds and that's just too tough for me.

I have come up with a wonderful idea! I am not so sure it has been thought of before.

But all of the lovely women out there--and the occasional man--asking for a partner to engage in practice battle otherwise known as 'sparring' ought to do it together.

Then you will all have partners all the time. I think it should be a happy occasion! Unless you all somehow dislike each other, then it might run the risk that one or two of you may die.

But that aside.

Aiya, my name is Eärendil and Luke Castellan told me to contact you. In my world, I am a mariner, and as such have great love for the seas and the creatures that live within. I was horrified upon reaching the beach yestereve to realize how terrible they have become, and how the creatures there are suffering. Mr. Castellan urged me to contact you, and see if maybe you were aware of certain avenues I could pursue in an effort to restore them to their previous splendor. He also said that you were the son of the Sea God. Ai, I did not know such things were possible, but I salute you, Lord Percy, son of Ulmo. It was your father who led mine to Gondolin many years ago.

Does anyone know where I can come by lumber for shipmaking? In my own world, I felled the trees myself, but in this place there are so few that I am loathe to do so.

I keep trying to focus on studies but then my attention wanders and I end up heading out for a run. Or something equally as fun. I can almost feel spring approaching, though, the air's been nicer lately. I wonder what Spring looks like here...

I think I'm going to sign up for the survival class - I don't know if I'll ever need the information but I feel like it won't hurt to have. And I love a challenge. It sounds like it'd be worthwhile to try out.

Anyways. I don't know what to do with myself. I've yet to find a job that I'm interested in. School's going okay, but I feel like I'm not being as productive as I should.

Spring was a big deal back home. We'd have festivals and all this other stuff that brought everyone back together. It was rather nice, I'll be honest. A lot of the time I hated them. Hated having to put on the royal clothing - I am not a dress girl! - and had to look pretty and all this other dainty stuff my other sisters LOVED and I hated. I was too close to all of my brothers, or most of them, to really enjoy dresses.

I'm glad that I've had things to distract me here - training and ice climbing - because I really miss my brothers. Sure, all of them are a handful but they're MY handful you know? I also REALLY miss the endless things to do with the Pattern. I mean, I can do most of the same things here, strangely enough, but the ones I took for granted - travel, changing realms, etc, are gone and it's almost like a void, you know?

Bah. Anyone want to go train with me? I'm feeling a need to spar.

I have been watching a show on the television, SMASH, that has my ... what words have people been using? ... face twin ... on it. It's very dramatic.

Moody has so kindly gotten us a cat. A charming looking fellow. However, we haven't managed to agree on a name that fits him. I might not have picked that cat but it's as much as his. I refuse to name him Vigilance, Paranoia [..] which I hadn't meant seriously, or You, over there or anything similar to that. Moody has agreed to pick a sensible name from any suggestions provided.

I have now been here at Potts Tower for a little over two weeks and have found myself in several bewildering situations over the past few weeks. I have taken to wearing a hat when I exit the building as people otherwise tend to approach me and request a signature. A bit too much like Captain Picard Da

Fortunately I have found a place that supplies tea and it was simple enough to remind myself how to brew a cup without a replicator. There are occasionally benefits to having grown up mainly off the grid so to speak.

I think I have cooked more stew, soup, mac and cheese and chicken and dumplings than I ever have before in the last 12 hours. Also breakfast for an entire horde. (okay it just feels like a horde but guys, seriously, love you). I am exhausted. I haven't slept yet. Caffeine? I think so.

If I was looking for books for children aged 3-7 what sort of books would you recommend? I have quickly come to the conclusion that the books I am most familiar with for that age group aren't available here - any of the books for that matter not that I expected to be. I had hoped there would be something similar though.

The other day, I did take some time to visit the art gallery here and there is some truly amazing work. I am thinking of visiting a library as well. I admit I'm not the biggest history buff of my world but it is interesting. You can learn so much about a people and their culture from places like those.
