This might sound strange, and I hope you don't think I'm sticking my nose in where it doesn't belong, but... I've watched a few episodes of the tv show you come from, and I noticed... well... the burns. I understand completely if you hate magic because of the horrible things that were done to you, but if you can find it in you to change your mind, I can make a really effective salve. It will heal the burns right up.

I heard on the news that it might snow here tomorrow, too. I know I ought to be anxious considering how awful the snow has been in some places today, but I can't help it, snow turns me into an excited kid all over again.

I debated going head to head with one of the demi-gods around here to win something, but then I figured 'demi-gods, I couldn't possibly win'. Tell me, Rachel Berry is a demi-goddess, yes?

I love her, but it would explain a lot.

I saw...The Hobbit in the theater today while my friend was helping his dad in the smithy.

Hobbits and Dwarves are silly little creatures, aren't they?

And who was the Elven King who refused to help the Dwarves? Seemed quite wise, to me.

I've been working on a spreadsheet of those from our world, I think if I did this right, you can click on this and it will take you to it. Albus, do you think you could fill in let me know the Houses of your cousins? It's not like they announce it when they come in, and I don't want to presume Gryffindor for all of them.

All told, there are 35 of us currently in NYC, and at least 20 of them are Gryffindors. 15 of them are Potter and his extended family. Also, none of his extended family have left after arriving. To date, there have been 49 of us, but that's counting multiple versions of the same people. More Slytherins have come and gone than any other.

I'm gonna miss Leo. I'm sure he'll be doing great things back home, but selfishly, I liked having him do less-epic-but-still-great things here.

So that said, the Potts Tower Youth Center now has a job opening:

Facilities Manager: Full time, compensation dependent on experience. This job is equal parts handyman and janitor, plus an occasional dash of builder thrown in. Basically, with a ton of enthusiastic superpowered kids running around, we need a jack-of-all-trades type to keep this place in top shape. Feel free to ask any additional questions here, or drop by to chat with me. If you'd like to apply, please send your résumé (a list of your work experience) to luke.castellan@pottstower.com.

We're also still seeking a Fundraising Coordinator to work with Octavian on making the PTYC more financially self-sufficient and increase the number of programs and services we can offer. It's a great job for a someone who's both creative and good with balancing budgets, and you've definitely got to be a people person. If you're interested, send your résumé to octavian@pottstower.com.

ATTENTION ALL SCAVENGER HUNT PARTICIPANTS. The scores have been tallied and the winner of the competition is TEAM AWESOME. This team was able to gather all of the required items PLUS bonuses (except one). Everybody's effort was supreme, yadda yadda, you all did great ... and thanks for leaving Dr. Banner alone since I was mostly kidding about that last one.

TEAM AWESOME, you may come to Sam's bar to collect your prize tonight.

If there is enough interest, I will organize one for next month that will make you beg for mercy.

I was looking up a few places for open mic night, and I was wondering if anyone else around here likes to play guitar. I'm looking to find a passable used one, but once I get it, it would be cool to play with other people.

Man, SHIELD training just got a lot more fun now that we've moved on to the physical stuff. It's a bit like being back on the islands. Pushing myself physically until I'm ready to drop, though it's kind of relaxing not having anyone shooting at me and not having tigers or bears trying to eat me and it's definitely more relaxing knowing Vaas isn't going to pistol whip me and try and kill me again.

Can't wait until we get into weapons training though. We got shown the rifle range and they had some sweet sniper rifles there. I had a customised Z93 that used explosive rounds back on the islands that was awesome. The damn thing could take down tigers and bears with one shot and two properly placed shots could take down a helicopter. Not exactly the most subtle of sniper rifles but sometimes you need a little extra firepower over stealth.

I have heard of this new thing called Skittles Vodka, where you take the candy Skittles, and leave them in plain vodka for a few days and then you have Skittles-flavoured Vodka. It sounds ... both gross and interesting. Should I make up a batch for Saturday, or shall we stick with tried and true brandy?

I'd like to remind any new (and old) arrivals that I teach a cooking class for those unaccustomed to the methods here. We're a small bunch right now, but the more the merrier. I'm not a master chef, but I'll help anyone regardless of previous cooking skill level.

Seems we have a large amount of newcomers! Hello, to everyone that's arrived here in the past few weeks. I'm Rose!

Tomorrow will make it 4 months that I've been here in New York. Bittersweet really, I've become closer with people that I thought I would never see again. Meeting knew friends that I would hate to lose.

I still miss my parents though. I hope they're doing all right. Some days I get by without being too sad. Then there are days like today, I'm a little homesick. Luckily I have so many wonderful people in my life, that are here, that make it better. Couldn't ask for better friends.

Sweet pickles do not belong in chicken salad. They don't belong anywhere.

What is wrong with people?

I was thinking last night that it would be nice for the Elves to get to know people around here better. I know there have been some misunderstandings, and harsh words and things like that are most easily solved by people getting together, talking, and really coming to understand where the other person is coming from.

So, in the spirit of conciliation, I would like to propose a get-together. I'll take care of food and drink, and I'll find the place, depending on how many people want to come. It's open to anyone, of any kindred.

Anyone interested?

This might be even better than Life of Pie. I don't know what the hell a harlem shake is and I'm more than a little freaked out how spot on these damn actors get Sam and me but still.

Anyway, it was either this or watching anime so I chose Youtube. I know, surprise, surprise.

Who wants to grab a drink with me tonight?

I got a new job working with Ned the pie man. No joke, I'm working with pies.

Also, I have some good news. The fangirls came through. Not with a car but they've been hosting a fundraiser, apparently, to get Sam and me our car back. They tried petitioning the studio but they wouldn't give one up since we "borrowed" one when we first got here.

I found an Impala for sale in San Diego. We have just enough for two of us to get there, pick it up and drive it back and then we could work on it together, fixing it up. Three can go if we skimp on the food budget. What do you say?

Does the tower have a day nursery? Or are Rory and I the only intergalactic travelers who brought a baby with us?

I don't have a stroller, or clothes, or food, and the security guard's hat is not doing much to keep my ears warm. I can't carry a baby around in the palm of my hand for hours like Chris Hemsworth. (Would that I could.)

Almost forgot. I'm Amy Pond. Scottish. Time&Space traveller. &c.

How much of a fangirl would it make me if I bought these?

In other news. There is a BOLLYWOOD version of Pride & Prejudice. And Alexis Bledel plays me. It's like 13 year old me's dreams are all coming true.



( no, but seriously... )

Crichton, I know you're here. Talk to me, or I'll kick in your door.

Is it habit here to turn everyone into a human? Because I am not fond of it!

>> Hey there!
>> Good news
>> Got approved to move in!
>> When's good for you, O Future Roomie of Mine?

It's no secret that a lot of us here are from wildly different times, backgrounds, worlds, etc. No doubt that has more than likely left a few of you with questions about this particular time and place. Some people are lucky enough to have good friends here to explain things, or the courage to pose their questions to the network at large. Others might not be. And for those people, I'd like to offer some help.

For anyone who doesn't know me, my name is Emmeline Vance. I may not know everything about this place, but I've spent a lot of my time here attempting to educate myself. I like to consider myself pretty level headed and generally very grounded. If you have anything that's been niggling at you but you aren't sure who to talk to, talk to me. I'll talk about anything. Sorcery, homosexuality, civil rights, women's rights, war, peace, love, hate... (the only think I won't discuss is reality television programming, because I will never understand that.) I won't be offended by anything you ask, and I'll do my best to help you find the answers you're looking for. No promises that we'll actually find the answers, of course. Some things may never have an answer. But it never hurts to ask, right? At any rate, have at it! Feel free to talk with me here, or I can also be bribed with coffee and/or wine if you'd like to speak in person.

I know you worked with me at home, and from what I've seen of you since you've arrived, I can't imagine that we wouldn't be on friendly terms. So I've decided we should be friends here, you and I. I'd like to get to know you better. What do you say?

This is one crazy ass hallucination. The doctors said otherwise, but of course they'd say that. But hey, what the hell? It'll be more fun to play along. I'm Winston, but you can call me the Mojo Man,

Do I go to the police department and ask for a job, or what? This was easier when I got ordered to do it by the Morrigan. I'd rather get back to normal as soon as possible.

Well, I don't know if I will ever get used to these styles, but since I am no longer in the Capital it would be good try and blend in. Though I am not sure how I feel about my hair.

I do have a question, why do people on the streets call me by Elizabeth? I suppose one could assume that 'Effie' is short for something, but as far as I an aware Effie has been the only name I have ever gone by. Is this normal?

I tried to read a book today. It was hard. I don't think I will read them. It was something someone said was a best seller. Not sure what it meant exactly but selling lots is good right? I have picked up reading class. I can read but it is hard, takes long time. I wanted writing class but I can't find one. I can type but not handwrite like some people do. It makes class hard, have to use computers.

I have been introduced to the ikenbot tumblr by one of my old co-workers. I have to say it is quite interesting to read. There's a lot of things that are the basis of the science we use in my time. Even some of it would be the same though on a more basic level, mostly just due to the advancement in technology. It is quite interesting though.

In other news there is a coffee fest starting on Friday. It looks amazing. I am definitely making plans to attend.
