The Doorway: a panfandom game

Nothing like a proper pint being surrounded by friends.

Merry New Year, everyone!

Okay... my apartment is still spinning... I'm not sure that that's a good thing...

I believe that when beginning a new chapter in your life, you should start it as you intend to spend it. It is a true honor to spend this day here among my friends and loved ones rather than away at war. I have high hopes for this year. It will be marked by victory and excellence, not just for Asgard, but for us all.

I'm okay. I'm okay. Really, I'm okay. I'm alive.

I'm strong, I promised Finnick I'd be strong, if anything ever happened to him I was supposed to make it anyway because that's what he wanted. So I will. I will.

But I don't...I mean I'm not pregnant.

( Here’s to us. Happy New Year. )

I like to think that Ichabod and I helped out with this.

Scoobies & other friends:
Happy New Year everyone, feels weird starting a new year in a place you've only just arrived some weeks ago in, but here's to starting it off right. I hope. I'm sure you're all safe and had your designated drivers (if needed) and if you didn't, you have my number. Still totally sober over here.

I'm off to help a friend of a friend, but I should be around if needed, later.

So the dine-n-dash was fun, and I know I've already said it 100 times, but here's 101. Thank you for the tiara! It's just pretty, sparkly, totally makes me want to dress as a fairy or something for Halloween. Maybe I'll wear it for St. Patrick's Day.

I'm going to be a bit late on the return, I am going to - well you probably read in the other filter - help a friend of a friend. Might be longer than I'm thinking, might be shorter, either way...I'll be somewhere doing something.I'm rambling. Thanks for the tiara! I'll be around.

I like New Years! Mostly because I love the fireworks. There is really nothing like seting gunpowder ablaze to make such pretty colors. And they are so much better now than they were in 1800s.

And I had a sparkly outfit! Which is not quite so good as gold talon covers of jewelled breastplates, but it is what I have to work with in this world.

I saw the most wonderful movie the other day - I forget the exact title but it all these little men going someplace, but the best part was really the dragon called Smaug. So handsome and beautiful and he was a firebreather like me!! And his hoarde! What I wouldn't do for that many jewels and coins! Though I don't know why the little men were so preoccupied with one blue stone - I do not think it was the most valuable thing there. And it wasn't the nicest thing to try and cover him in molten gold. Most firebreathers are immune to fire naturally, and though although acid hurts, I'm not sure whether molten gold would hurt or not.

It was not very nice of him to destroy towns, but perhaps he was just misunderstood. Dragons can be very reasonable if humans just give them the proper respect and do not try to turn them into slaves.

I've only been here four and a half months, but I feel like I've managed to cram in a year's worth of highs and lows. I've gone from inviting strangers to kill me when I showed up, to being... I'm not sure if happy is the right word, but hopeful.

No, you know what? I am happy. I need to stop shying away from that. It doesn't mean I'm gonna lose my soul again or stop feeling guilty. It just means I'm realizing that if I want to help other people find peace, I need to find it for myself first. Years of meditation and I never figured that out before. It's a journey, I guess.

When you've been alive a few centuries, you stop caring about things like New Year's Eve. Surviving another chunk of the calendar isn't so significant. But it's different when everyone you love is human. You realize you have to treasure every fleeting moment you have with them.

So I just want all of you to know that I do. Whether I've known you for months or years -- maybe even if we haven't met yet -- my life is better because you're in it. I hope we've got a lot more time together ahead of us, but in case we don't: let's make this year count, okay?

[Basil Hallward]

There are plenty of things that I am capable of doing without thinking about either you or the past we've left behind us, but strolling through the streets of London after dusk will never be one of them.

The streets have changed, and the decadence in which we both flourished is as ruined and rotted as the Greek temples upon which we all built our passions. But Basil, the air is as unaltered as I appear to be. The mood just as kissed and muted by the stars faded in city lights as it was a hundred years ago -- and how I am sure it will be in a hundred years still.

You should see it.

And I wish you not a happy new year, but instead hope that this year, for you, is better than any other could have been.

Love,
Dorian

I thought tradition dictates that the champagne gets opened at midnight. Not hours before, so that by the time the ball drops, you're already passed out on the sofa.

But you can correct me if I'm wrong.

GUH!! I accomplished nothing today, because I was too busy nursing an ugly hangover all day today. Lets just say that I had a very eventful New Years Eve. Still in my PJ's and I'm just going to relax the rest of the night.

Well, that was certainly an interesting way to start out the New Year.

How was your new year, te?

I still do not know what to name ( her! )

Aeryn's gone.

Happy frelling New Year.

This is all really hard to believe, but they told me I should introduce myself, so I guess I will anyway. I'm Daphne Vasquez.

FILTERED TO PEGGY CARTER, BUCKY BARNES (MCU), JESSICA DREW (616):

I hope your bags are packed, and please try to get some rest tonight. We have a long day ahead of us.

Happy New Year.

FILTERED TO NICK FURY (MCU):

I'll contact you when we arrive.

In case you were wanting to swim in the ocean this week. Here's free advice.

Don't.

Let's start the new year with a bang. I've got a new gun that needs testing. Who wants in?

I need a staple gun, two extra wire kits, and a bag of twizzlers.

And some more monster drinks.

TEXT MESSAGE TO FAITH LEHANE:

»So.
»Got a question.
»What was that last night?

France is different than it is in my time, but also remarkably similar. There are moments when I feel that I could be at home.

It has certainly been a worthwhile way to bring in the New Year. Best wishes to everyone in the upcoming one.

After spending my first Christmas in AU New York City, I would just like to say to my fellow Avengers: thank you for NOT having movable mistletoe this time. I'd have hated to blasted my own friends during the holidays.

So this is weird but Hey, so, despite the different universes, you're still a Carol, and I was hoping we could get to hang out sometime? Grab sandwiches or chilli dogs and fly up to the rooftop to avoid the city crowd? Probablyyyy not this weekend because business trip but SOON!
