Hello! I haven't met very many of you yet, but my name is Primrose Everdeen. I'm thirteen and I was training to be a Doctor back home. My mother was a healer, and I've been learning from her for years.

I was wondering if I could volunteer at the clinic? You wouldn't have to pay me and I'm a hard worker. I just want to feel like I'm contributing something again.

» Hey, are you busy tonight?

It's been some years since I went to bed in one place and woke up in another. First time I've lost an entire week though. Days, yes, hours, definitely, but a week? Never jumped continents before either. Last time I was in New York, it was for the QWC in 06, when Spain came from behind to win spectacularly after ten and a half hours.

3 things.

One, the name's Harry Potter. My apologies to the SHIELD agent who has boils all over his face. You might want to get that looked at.

Two, JK Rowling had better not be a new pen name for Rita Skeeter.

Three, for fuck's sake, where are my kids?

Oh, and Ginny, love, you all right too?

»That's your Helena on the roster isn't it?
»You alright?

Uh. Does anyone have a spare pair of size 11 shoes to tide me over until I make it to the store? Maybe a coat?

And after I go shopping for certain necessities, I'd like to get my papers in order. And after that, I'm going for Chinese and a beer. You can't stop me

Three months and I'm finally starting to miss my x-wing to a degree that I'm having recurring dreams about it. I really hope that's not the first sign for going crazy.

I've avoided reading the books that are my 'source material' or whatever the hell you want to call it. Walking by the bookstore I saw another one was released, focusing on events that happened over a century before I was actually born. It's tempting. Did Magnus like glitter then as much as he does now? Important questions.

For a (some) friends ... (A response.)

Through the sloughs of mud you wade, rucked thick to your hocks as the slender line of your back curves like an old woman's finger to evade the sniper whose hawk eyes can see one hundred yards through the dim fog of disaster and bloodspray. You ask yourself, as you trod, if you (like the fish who crawled out of the primordial sea and grew legs) are the catalyst for a new world. You ask yourself, as the starlings scatter and wheel above you, if the futile questions that lodge in your breast are worth the effort of committing to wind.

When the starling lights on the branch whose bullet-blasted casing barely holds her hollow bones, let me impart this simple truth: There is no world worth revolving without the rebellion of youth. There is no day worth wasting if the questions that defy the authority which holds you in the mud are not laid bare to the world; by hook or by crook, we must all succumb to our baser instinct and rail against that which throws us in the face of cannon fire with nothing for music but our horses hooves and our sabres rattling and the timid flutter of our own hearts.

(Did you know that two of the Light Brigade were sent without even their sabres for a previous night's brief cheek?)

There is a wind which blows thick through an apple orchard and the branches do not bare themselves of fruit. Do not cut down the trees; level yourself and conspire with the earth to bloom. Do not let them catch you. Human nature is remorseless; she flies into the desert, she screams and the thumbscrew is applied. Do not give it to her.

She's gone. How can she just be gone?! I need an answer. What happens when you go back? Do you end up right where you left off? Before? After?

[Hazmat] I'm sorry we couldn't find Jeanne. Maybe she's okay. Maybe she's better off. This place isn't exactly home, you know?

[Carol Danvers] Ms. Danvers? I think I'm ready to apply to SHIELD, like Berto. Who's office can I stop by to drop off my resume?

[Jo Harvelle] Hey girl, how're you doing? I was wondering if I could talk to you. You're the only person I know here that would understand.

I have been watching a lot of Chopped lately and it got me thinking that I'd like to be on Chopped someday. To prove that I'm a great chef and even a little detour of owning a club won't get in the way of my superb cooking skills. Although, I'd need to practice coming up with an idea and cooking with random ingredients in thirty minutes. I'm used to cooking the same thing day in and day out from a planned menu. It'd be a challenge to try and do something like Chopped and I think I might practice on my days off so I'm ready if I ever get the chance to be on that show. Or Iron Chef. That shows rather amazing too.


And did anyone catch Dancing with the Stars Monday night? I want Dorothy Hamill or Zendaya to win.

You're welcome.

( spoilers for epsiode 98 of lbd )

Believe me when I say that I'm grateful to have all of my previous belongings, but I'm not exactly the same size that I was at 15 and I definitely don't have the same taste in clothing. So, basically, can someone point me towards a reasonably priced clothing store? From what I remember of previous visits to New York, reasonable is a bit difficult to find but as its not my money I will be spending - well, I'm not as willing to be frivolous with it.

Dominique, I've gone out shopping for food and your cake will be ready later tonight if you would like to come and get it. Apartment 1804.

I have got to get a job. There's only so much TGIF I haven't seen for years this time around. The SHIELD people said they'd help me with my masters, which is good because I am NOT sitting through another eight years for the same degree. I worked in Los Angeles schools. Okay, I haven't worked for the LASD in a few years, but it can't be that hard to dive back in with public school, right? New York's not that different. Is it?

And hey, I don't want to work at the Casserole Shanty again. I am a teacher, dammit.

Today is a WOEJESS day. I miss my closet. And my clothes. Especially my red blue dress with the white polka dots and the fun collar. And my art supplies. There's several hundred - if not THOUSANDS - of dollars invested in that dresser.

I need felt. Lots of felt.

It's difficult I'm seventeen years old and back home that makes me an adult. I have responsibilities and duties that people twice my age aren't very good at managing, for whatever reason. But because I'm here and seventeen it feels seems like people take my skills less seriously.

I am not a child. But because I am young and because I have no 'real' experience slaving around for someone I am not a very strong candidate for employment. I don't want to work for your company anymore than you want to hire me

It's frustrating irritating hard. I know what I'm doing, but convincing others to think the same is proving more difficult. I know mind magic, I can make you believe me but I'm trying to do the right I'll have to attempt other means to convince prospective employers what I might do for them.

It's taxing.

I'd certainly rather deal with the heads of other families than continuing toiling around for nothing. I'm glad to have gotten my apparation license before being brought here; if I had to take muggle transportation around the city I might throw myself off the build would be annoyed.

Filter: Friends of Dorcas & Marlene Minus Marlene

I'm moving into one of the spare rooms in Marlene's flat and I was thinking we should throw her a welcome back party, even though she doesn't remember being here before. It's a good excuse for a party and I feel like celebrating her being back.

Plus today is her birthday and obviously it's short notice for today, but I think we could throw something together for this weekend! What do you lot think?

Oh, right, I'm thinking it should be a surprise, too, so don't any of you tell her!

[Filtered to Neal Caffrey]

Neal. Here's your first gift. I'm not going to tell you about a few of the other things I accidentally found on Google, and I see why Sara warned me about fan fiction.

Second gift, which probably isn't nearly as laughable, I thought maybe you and Sara might want to have dinner with El and I. You pick the place, I pick up the tab. I should qualify that. I'll pick up the tab if I can afford it. Unless you and Sara would rather have some private time, then we can postpone until tomorrow or this weekend.

Happy birthday, buddy.

I can't say that I completely disagree with the protesters' plight. A skilled workforce arriving from out of nowhere and you've got more competition for an already tight workplace - I haven't run the numbers, though, how many of us have actually taken jobs outside of the Tower, SHIELD, or Stark Industries? It doesn't seem as if it would be an alarming amount.

Maybe I'm over-thinking it. I'm probably over-thinking it.

[Filtered to Sage, Lucy Stillman, Sam Winchester]

Sage and I had discussed it, but I think with the closing of the tesseract arrival analysis project, we should go out to celebrate or something.

Sometimes I miss my pauldrons. And then I usually get thrown up or bled on and I've found the clothing of this world is really far easier to clean. Still I miss the feathers. I looked rather dashing.

I know I haven't really much talked to most of you, but my name is Anders. I run the clinic on the first floor. We run off of donations and I was thinking of perhaps running a fundraiser to, well, continue helping people. Not really the part of the job I'm best at.

But my friend Amber suggested that perhaps we could make it a community effort within the tower, working together to put together a benefit that shows what we're adding to the community that we've found ourselves in. I know I had seen Cinna mentioned that he was looking at perhaps putting together a display of the works that refugees have made? And Sam, you've the most successful and likely most recognizable business within the tower. I'd heard mention that you actually have experience organizing such things, Elizabeth?

It's simply an idea, one I'll readily admit I've very little experience or ability to put together. If it'd help, I can make fireballs. But I was hoping that perhaps you might be interested in this idea? It's presumptuous to ask, but I would like for the clinic to succeed and for our neighbors in this world to perhaps look at us with a kinder eye. If any of you were interested in perhaps pooling efforts, please let me know.

[Filtered to Hawke]

I've a young girl who wants to volunteer at the clinic. Which is amazing, being so young and wanting to help people.

I'm not really used to children for prolonged periods of time if they're not currently, well, dying though. The circle thought I was a terrible influence on the apprentices. Which was likely true in their eyes.

I've had to look up who these people were. It's amazing that for a rock this small, without other allied planets to speak of, that you've managed to do so much to your own people, both negative and positive. I have no opinion on the warriors of Earth so far, because everything seems to conflict. I do not think it wise to comment on them either way.

After punching a cupboard this morning, I realized that my slave rings would have shattered the bones in this current human skeleton. It's well enough they were taken out nearly a cycle ago.
