The Doorway: a panfandom game

TONY STARK (MCU):

So that something you wanted to talk to me about, would it have anything to do with what's in Star Magazine?

BUCKY BARNES (MCU), DUM DUM DUGAN, HOWARD STARK, PEGGY CARTER:

I started to catch Dum Dum up on what's happened here - concentrating mostly on what I've been doing with the Avengers, and what we were up to before SHIELD gave me the boot. I'm thinking we should meet up sometime soon.

I might have a few gifts to go around, too.

So those marshmellow things... so glad that those are gone. I mean, they're cute, but all it did was make me miss Joe Friday. Maybe I need a new dog.

I know some of you have mentioned that you stopped watching your show, or reading your source material, because it got to be too much. But I've been wondering lately about something else - how much does what you see or read affect what you do here? I've noticed lately that I'll react to something from the show and, in many instances, I will compare something that happens in my life here to what I've seen playing out on television rather than relying on my own memories and experiences.

Just seems a bit disconcerting. The easy thing is to stop watching, but I feel its easier said than done. I want to know what is happening at home, however fictional it may be.

I've seen and dealt with a lot of downright weird things in my life, it's true, but this might top them all.

I guess the only thing to do now is introduce myself: my name's Barbara Gordon, most recently from New Gotham. In my previous life, I taught high school English and computer science, among other things. Who are you?

Also, I'm curious: has anyone heard of me or encountered me before? It was mentioned that I might have been here previously, which is hard to comprehend but certainly not as impossible as one might think.

( How soon would we get caught if you started mind-reading my coworkers? )

I'm fairly certain Selina Kyle has gone home.

Does anyone wish to foster any of her cats? Otherwise, the colony at the park is very accommodating.

Who has two thumbs, red hair, and totally forgets when her birthday is? This girl! Who has the bestest and cutest roommate of all time? This girl! If it wasn’t for the nummy cupcakes Dawnie set out this morning I wouldn’t have even thought to check a calendar – and even if I had I’ve been so caught up in planning Ostara and Beltane altars and special sale items that I would have seen today and just thought, “I only have a couple more days left to create the loose leaf incense for the Ostara kits! And decide for sure what to do for Beltane!”

Well, it looks like I’m going to get a chance to relax, reflect, and maybe meditate a little more for the next couple of days. My buddy Ken has given me the chance to close the shop for a little while so maybe I can meet up with a few of my friends that I’ve not been able to see? Huh, huh, huh?!

Filter, Scoobies:

Dawnie, you’re amazing. I love all the pieces that make up your being and cuteness factors. I so need another cupcake when I get home…

Xander, I need to hire you ASAP. I need new shelves and there’s a huge hole in the front of the store’s floor right now…can you help? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?!

Buffy, there’s wood splinters and stuff in the basement. I’d probably not go down there to train until we get this all cleaned up. Sigh.

/filter

Filter, Employees (Bonnie, Lirael, Illyana, luna, Spike & Pamela):

The store is going to have to be closed at least until Tuesday, I’m hoping Tuesday is the latest anyway. Lirael & Luna, thanks so much for keeping calm today and helping with the little cleanup - I appreciate your help so very much.

Pamela, the store’s closure shouldn’t affect you or your patrons – just let them know if you have any appointments already setup that they’ll have to go through the back entrance. You have the key so feel free to come and go just as we discussed; the lounge and kitchen area should be fine to use still as well.

Spike, are you busy Sunday night? I need a little help with something in the basement.

/filter

Ken/Mettle:

How’re you holding up? Do you need anything? Does Jenny need anything? And maybe a little random, but kind of necessary to know here; did you piss a witch or maybe a gypsy off today?

So we ended up with like all of Catwomans cats and we already had a lot of cats that hung around the House of Life because I mean Bast is bast so why wouldn't they? They are everywhere so I've made a cat room and I mean I'm actually pretty impressed with this massive cat tree I've managed to make cause it's literally like the walls and everything. Pretty much the best cat room ever.

I'm debating if I should make like little shabti for them to play with. After all it's practice!

But yeah if anyone has ever had an urge to just... Hang out in a room of cats we totes have that now.

[Four men and a safe house]

Agent Andrews is asleep. Minimal injuries. And hopefully the fact that she's allowed herself to pass out means she's accepted that we aren't behind trying to kill her.

Now we have a bigger problem at hand. If they're attacking our agents, just how safe do we think it is leaving the tesseract in their hands? The wrong refugee comes in through their and they could have a hell of a lot more power than any of us would be able to handle.

Are you free for coffee tomorrow?

Growing up in Alaska, I was surrounded by winter sports. The only one of them that I ever tried was skiing. Sometimes the easiest way to get places was by going cross country. I was never good enough to think about competing in the Olympics but I have a lot of respect for those who do. Right now I'm watching the four man bobsled and that looks like fun.

This is mostly inspired by an ongoing debate at the office and people posting about the Winter Olympics: but if you could somehow compete in either version of the Olympics what would your sport be?

For me its a tie between snowboard cross and hockey for winter and rifle for summer.

Drinks soon?

My name is Haruka Ten'ou and it has been an enjoyable couple of days in the United States of this world. I look forward to exploring it further and meeting those that I share a floor with among others.

First I must seek out my Koneko-chan and dear friend Setsuna, but then, ladies, I'm all yours.

(OOC: Posted earlier, later edited)[Thor]

This whole Ragnarok, end of the world stuff I keep hearing them talk about on legitimate and in no way refutable news sources isn't anything I should be worried about, is it? Because there's that whole retrograde mercury thing going on and I hope that isn't a weird lead up that you guys just forgot to mention.

[MCU Avengers + Jane Foster, Darcy Lewis, Asgardians.]

Thor isn't responding to Facetime

So... did the world end and is Thor dead, or have any of you guys heard from him? I know less about Norse Mythology than I do about Barbara Streisand. Actually that's a bad example, Funny Girl was incredible.

No but seriously, has anyone heard from Thor? It was like Ragnarok today, or something.

[Mako]

Do you think I'm... standoffish?

Filter to Miles:

Hey kiddo, you ready to grind? This damn hunter needs to get to lvl 90 before I have her drop off of one of these spires in Dalaran. I love this city. Woops, she fell...and now they're making me wait for her to rez. Great.

Actually, do you know the start of the quest to heal the gryphons? I want to say it's in Mount Hyjal, but I can't remember now. You think I'd have it all mapped out in my head at this point, but too many games all at once and too much coding - I can't be the keeper of all things! Yeah I can. I'm just not. Don't judge me.

Get on vent.

You sent me the cupcakes, didn't you?
