TEXT TO GWEN STACY:

» Hey, you up?

You know, I really thought that when I left the X-Men, this kind of thing would stop happening. Guess not. Maybe, one day, if I wish really hard and think positive thoughts, I'll actually manage to do something - anything - in my life without a kidnapping or some other kind of crazy shenanigans screwing it up. A girl can hope, anyway.

Sadly, closing my eyes and clicking my heels three times did nothing, so I guess I'm stuck here. And I was really liking grad school too.

Anyway, I'm Lorna Dane. I'm a mutant, obviously...if the hair didn't tip you off. Though I don't doubt plenty of people would pick this shade of green, it is natural.

I think that my head has officially exploded. My mind is blown. The world as I know it, as I thought I knew it, does not exist. What I thought was impossible is actually possible, and things I thought were possible are probably stupidly impossible. I am baffled, mystified, perplexed, rattled, and discombobulated. I can't even.

I'm also in need of a more extensive thesaurus.

Anyway, I've also burned copies of pictures that I took at prom last weekend. So, if you asked for pictures, let me know the best way for me to get them to you.

[FILTERED TO KATE BISHOP]

Long story short: I'm here to be your Barton-watching back-up. How are those two really doing?

Also I think I owe you lunch or something.

Private Message to Kitty Pride

Miss Pride:

While I don't remember any of it, I am told I was a teacher/adviser here when I was here previously. I would be very much interested in doing either or both again, if there is still a space for me on your staff.

There is a rather classic villain/hero trope. Both are locked in combat at some great height -- rooftop, cliff, cliff beside a waterfall, scaffolding, clock tower, Notre Dame, etc -- the villain falls but the hero catches his hand. The villain then decides to be very fucking stupid and decide that if he's dying, he's taking the hero with him and tries to pull the hero down, stab him, shoot him in the face or otherwise end them both. But when he makes a move to do so the hero, you know, lets the villain go. Because obviously you're not going to hold on to someone trying to shoot you in the face.

Now, my question is: has this or comparable situations ever happened to you -- and if you, how often? Because it seems to me like you were born for this trope.

Whoa, this is BRILLIANT!

So. Who wants to loan me $400,000?

No one? No? What, you lot don't have that just lying around?

In other news, I asked my girlfriend to move in together and by some miracle she actually agreed. Which means we're moving this weekend. Well, I am. Luckily, I don't have a bunch of stuff and the move isn't that far.

Swimming in the pool at night is oddly peaceful. I'm a little slow, I guess, but I didn't even realize there was a pool up there until recently. But, night swimming. I definitely recommend it.

The MoMA uses RBAC for the delivery parking level (for those of you with an allergy to acronyms: Museum of Modern Art and Role-Based Access Control).

RBAC. In this day and age. And a closed-circuit feed.

The front of the museum's decked out, of course, with all that's new and shiny. But the back? Where the exhibits are shipped out? You might as well say "pretty please" and you're in.




Peter, you'd better be glad that the MoMA wasn't in my radius at the start of our parternship.

Best place for lunch and a mid-day martini? Preferably somewhere with gorgeous guys and no one calls me Lucy Liu.

Today is the 140th anniversary of the North-West Mounted Police. Excuse me for a moment, while I get extraordinarily patriotic and share this song with you.

In case you didn't see the notice, Rose and Hugo are both gone. Angelina, too.

Filter: Friends & Family

Hermione and I are going to take a few days to ourselves, as I'm sure you all understand. We'll have our phones for emergencies, but I wanted to let you lot know so you wouldn't think we'd disappeared as well.

FILTERED TO BEN REILLY:

Not gonna take up too much of your time, since, you know, I saw that another clone (?) came in last night? (Which, btw, he's on my floor too, big hulking man. Sheesh. What happened? And I just remembered that you're on my floor too, and he's your roommate so OF COURSE you knew that. Never mind me.)

ANYWAY.

Just wanted to say thanks... for yesterday. And the web-swinging. It was fun. Probably too much fun. Shouldn't be legal fun.

FILTERED TO 616 AVENGERS (AND HONORARY AVENGERS):

If there was anything weirdly out of tune or suspiciously not like me that I -- or someone in a Spider-Man costume -- did, say, after November 2012, and you guys had recollection of that... you'd tell me, right?

TEXT TO IVY LYNN:

» I got a callback
» what do i do

I'm so confused.

I think I'll stick to newspapers.

I hope everyone had fun last weekend. It was quite the event. Congrats to the royal party and thanks for everyone who helped clean up afterward. Victor, awesome idea and high five for the DJing.

Attention ladies AND GENTS (and anyone else): Fleet Week starts today.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

( We used to have balls and dances at the Imperial Palace all of the time and they were always opportunities for political back-stabbing, and information gathering, but I doubt there will be any of that here, considering that most people don’t have any real connection to local politics. )

Hey. Stark.

Ever think of going greener?

[ FILTER: SIRIUS BLACK ]

I don't care how you do it, but get me out of this apartment right now.

[/filter]

Lily's gone. I'm so sorry.

( S.H.I.E.L.D. Advisory Notice to Potts Tower Network )

Well, this is all very collegiate. Since we're already practically in a dormitory, perhaps I ought to throw a pajama party so we can all get to know one another. You'll forgive me if I ask for directions to the nearest boutique; it's been some time since I was last in Manhattan.

Does anyone here know about Eagleland?

[SHERLOCKED (E/BBC)]

We should talk. Because I was wrong. ( ELEMENTARY SPOILERS AHOY! )

I don't think I'm meant to go chasing after robbers. Too heavy handed with them.

Sorry. Won't be doing that again.

Who says ya can't teach an old dog new tricks?

Say, Corvo, pal, these clothes really are all the rage. Pair of ladies passing me by today whistled right at me!

FILTERED TO JANET VAN DYNE (616):

Hey, I have a favor to ask, but I need you to promise not to mention it to anyone, especially not any of the Avengers. Especially not Quicksilver. Not that you're best friends, but, you know. It's for a friend, and she doesn't know I'm doing this. Yet.

FILTERED TO JENNY TAKEDA:

Hey Jenny. So don't be mad, but I found someone who's going to help get this wedding dress situation figured out.

(*OOC: intended for the 9th Doctor but unwittingly viewable to others if there are still others around!)

Have you considered whether they might let you try to help with the tesseract if you joined SHIELD?

[FILTERED: LYRA]

Lyra. Look.

I knew there was information us out there but I wasn't expecting to find that.

[FILTERED: CASTIEL]

I'm Will, I'm a friend of Lyra's. You know Lyra, right?

I wish Amanda was here.

I've gotten involved in an after school program. So far, the kids have taken my presence well and I've been able to teach them what I know.

It's been great.

» You still up?
» I realize that it's like 4 in the morning, but I couldn't sleep.
» And of all the people I know here, I pegged you for top ten most likely to be an insomniac
» Anyway, if you ARE still up
» Want to play with some futuristic medical technology?

» But I thought it might be good to get another set of eyes on it.

There, finally found a couple of good frames for bikes and the beginnings of the parts I need. This was a hell of a lot easier when I could raid Talia's and the old man's bank accounts.
