The Doorway: a panfandom game

June third is Chase's nineteenth birthday, I want to do something nice for him...as far as I know he hasn't had a nice birthday in a long time. So I'd like to have a little 'thing' at our apartment on the second of June (Sunday) around noon. Details coming soon, I just need a head count basically. Please, thanks.

Who: Ben Reilly and Peter Parker
When: backdated like whoa to evening Thursday, May 16 (sick fail omg)
Where: Ben's apartment
What: First weekly Parker bros dinner aka Peter demanded that since Ben can cook he owes him food. So, lots of banter and talk about many different subjects.
Rating: PG for sass

( You just wanna be James Bond for a night. Admit it. The new one's a blond, too, so you're about, oh... 15% of the way there? )

OI, YOU LOT FROM HOGWARTS! Sound off! I know you're here, because Katie filled me in! GET YOUR ARSES OVER HERE AND GIVE ME A PROPER WELCOME!

For those of you who don't know me, I'm Alicia Spinnet. This whole thing is pretty mad, but I have always wanted to see New York.

Wow, this is so weird. It's New York, but it's not New York. Well, not the New York I'm familiar with. I won't even pretend this is the strangest thing I've been through, but it's probably up there on my list of top weird things. And I'm a demigod, so that's saying something.

Anyway, I guess there are people I know here? That's what the nice men with the guns said, anyway.

I'm Annabeth Chase, by the way. They said I was here before, but I don't remember any of it, so please excuse me if I don't remember who you are.

Tonight's one of those restless ones. Tomorrow's a holiday we celebrated all the time, mostly to recognize all the military men and women on and off the island. I'm definitely going to the parade tomorrow, so if anyone wants to come, righteous! After that, well, you can't really barbeque in an apartment, but boiling hot dogs won't be too bad hahaha.

Good news though, managed to get a job working as a rent-a-cop at a pawn shop in a seedy neighborhood that's already been robbed three times. It's not much, but it's a start. Plus I look hella sexy in a uniform and there's no liability on their end since bullets and knives don't hurt haha. There's plenty to save for so I'm pretty stoked to finally have this opportunity.

So, Jan's birthday is this Saturday, so I was thinking that maybe we could do something for it? I'm not exactly very good at organizing things like this, so I wouldn't mind a hand or two with ideas and preparations and, well, all of it?

[ Filtered to Jan (616) ]

Is your birthday this Saturday, as well?

[ Filtered to Henry Pym Jr. ]

Hey. Saturday is Jan, my Jan's, birthday, so I was wondering if you maybe wanted to help me and the rest of the guys put something together. I know she's not really handled this whole thing...well, but I'm sure if she gets the chance to know you, she'll adore you.

2013. Wow. I don't really know what to say to that, except that.. wow. This is amazing, like typing on a turn-of-the-century typewriter. The transportation! Primitive and And here we back are at wow, amazing like a damn broken record.

Oh! I'm so sorry, I should have introduced myself right off. Dr. Carol Marcus, Starfleet. I arrived just last night and have been getting acclimated to my new surroundings and adjusting to the difference in time. It's been... a process, to say the least, but I can make do. I may need a drink or three, but I imagine that gets said a lot around here.

I was told there were plenty of Starfleet here that I might know?

[COMMENTS MAY CONTAIN ST:ID SPOILERS]

Happy Birthday to my awesome sister!

In other news one year until I can legally drink!!

If you don't know when your birthday is, how do you know when you become an adult? Or when you're another year older.

Technically I'm only four, but it seems so strange to tell people that. But I don't know when I'll be five. We didn't really celebrate such things much as once you're hatched and have seen battle, nothing else matters. Well, except mating and producing eggs.

Seems almost weird saying happy Memorial Day given the memorial part. Then again, parades and food. Can't really argue too much with that.

So. Hi. I'm Hazmat. I'm on your floor or whatever.

So housing assistants are supposed to help us find jobs, right? Cause I need one. But I'm also stuck in a biohazard containment suit. They probably briefed you on me since I'm a safety hazard to the rest of the tower if I'm ever outside it when I'm not in my room. So it's not like I can walk into the nearest McDonalds to work my soul away.

The only thing I really know how to do is beat up bad guys though. I'm not good at anything else, and I was barely good enough at that. To be a junior level three avenger.

Are you going to the parade?

I'm officially nineteen today.

And I won't be anywhere near Potts Tower.

Not today.

I have decided Muggles are BRILLIANT. Ollilicious has introduced me to Tumblr and it is AMAZING.







What is this Zoolander? Google tells me it's a movie? I NEED IT IN MY LIFE IMMEDIATELY!

Er, it's possible I have had too much coffee.

And am distracting myself because I'm ~avoiding things

I should go sightseeing, but 1) I don't know what sights to go see and 2) I can't seem to tear myself away from the Tumblr.

Ok I don't believe what they say send me back at once! I was supposed to meet Prince Jonathan for a study session as it was. I am quite positive it won't go over well with him or his parents if I disappear. I know what they told us when I arrived but fictional and stuck here? Surely that isn't at all possible. If it is people know I'm actually a girl and not a boy like I've been pretending to be.

Hello everyone. If you haven't met me yet, I'm Rachel Grey-Summers. I've accepted the position of co-headmistress of the Educational Services Division, and I'll be working closely with Kitty. Since we have so many comings and goings, my focus will be helping to determine new students' educational background, and to help with adjusting to joining in partway through semesters. This is to help with the class pacing so that students don't end up "behind" just because of the tesseract mismatching the point they're at with lessons.

One of my suggestions for getting students more quickly evaluated and oriented to a class was through use of my telepathy. This saves time and helps identify areas that someone may not be able to articulate out loud. However, there are a number of considerations before we do something like that:

• For the students evaluations, it would only be done if they consent to it. Traditional talking and pen-and-paper evaluations if not.
• For making sure students are "up to speed," it would also be done with their consent. If they are behind the class, I will "tutor" them up to the lessons that the class is currently learning. However, it should also have the consent of the instructor for each particular class they'll be taking.
• For instructors, they will need to either provide materials for me to use for the evaluations and "tutoring", consent to me "sharing" their knowledge for that, or consent to joining me and the student on the astral plane so the instructor themselves can do it.

This program won't be introduced yet. We need to know your feelings on it. Please discuss these ideas, and you can filter or privately address them with me and Kitty if you prefer.

Thank you and enjoy your Memorial Day!

Ok, that's sad. Here's some cute animals to cleanse your palate. edited; removed

I'm going to call my dad.

Have you forgotten yet? ...
For the world's events have rumbled on since those gagged days,
Like traffic checked while at the crossing of city-ways:
And the haunted gap in your mind has filled with thoughts that flow
Like clouds in the lit heaven of life; and you're a man reprieved to go,
Taking your peaceful share of Time, with joy to spare.
But the past is just the same - and War's a bloody game ...
Have you forgotten yet? ...
Look down, and swear by the slain of the War that you'll never forget.

I'm not quite sure I feel like remembering. I don't quite have the luxury of it all being ninety years ago, but if you'd like -- rather, if you want, and if you'd like. Perhaps we could do something? I'm not sure what -- I think I just need air.

Thank you for being a good friend, Neal.

[End Filter]

I'd like to take a moment, as many others are, to thank all of you here that have taken a large part of your lives and devoted it to serving your country. And honestly, any country, since some people here are from entire other worlds, which I'll never get used to saying. Giving of yourself to help protect and defend others is a noble way of life no matter where you're from. So thank you.

If Sam's isn't overrun with others making the same offer, I'd like to buy any of you a round that are free and able to drop by.

Ugh. This weekend was crazy. Tabs, we have to do that again sometime!

But all those sailors over the weekend got me thinking. It's always fun to look at fine examples of men. But then I just found myself missing Emmett. I mean, I'm always missing Emmett, this is the longest we've gone without talking for as long as we've known one another, even if the distance thing isn't new.

But I can't be the only one here without a spouse, or a fiancé(e), or significant other who isn't here, and a lot of you have been here way longer than I have. How are you coping with it?

In just a few days, I'll hit my one year anniversary here. I still remember landing on my ass in Asgard like it was just yesterday, and how I made an ass of myself trying to get away. It's pretty damn humbling to realize that a whole bunch of Asgardians have seen you naked.

In honor of that anniversary and in honor of the few of us who got to enjoy Asgard briefly, I'll be debuting a couple new drinks on Thursday and breaking out some more of the mead that Thor helped make. Come by then to try one (or several).

FILTERED TO BUFFY SUMMERS, MALCOLM REYNOLDS & KATHRYN JANEWAY:

All of your food and drinks will be on the house on Thursday, if you decide to stop in.

How does a nation commemorate its dead and how does it ensure the continuation of a national collective memory when you're all quite taken with pictures of pert bulldogs? This is not my Remembrance Day -- mine's in November -- but I wanted to put something here to open up a discussion about memory.

Is it important to remember, to commemorate sacrifice and to live out the larger because of the greater heart of it? Or should there be a great forgetting? A freedom from the bloodsoaked trails of the past that young men and women so often trod in order to keep your barbecues and your forty percent off sales from being dimmed by defeat?

I've a notion that memory - original memory - can be grafted onto those who do not have that memory. Places like your Arlington National Cemetery and my Thiepval house this consciousness and share the experiences with those of different generations. It's a way of ensuring - or promising - that the sacrifices of yesterday do not meant the sacrifices of today are still in vain.

For all of you who fought (where ever you fought), you have my utmost respect and I am very proud to walk behind you boot print in boot print. Thank you from the very bottom of my very faint heart.

Cheers.

Bucky and I are headed down to DC today, for the Memorial Day festivities there. We'll be at the World War II Memorial in a couple hours, and Arlington National Cemetery after that. We should be able to catch some of the parade before we have to come back to New York for the game tonight. Seems like several of our old friends will be in town, and many more families of those we fought with during the war. It feels strange to say I've been looking forward to this, but it's true. These men meant a lot to me, and I'm grateful to have the chance to honor them and those we've lost.

I wanted to say something about what today means to me, but I can't seem to find the right words. I never was a writer or a good public speaker. Today is a day for remembrance and gratitude, and I hope everyone will take a moment to reflect upon what today means for our military personnel and their families.
