The Doorway: a panfandom game

Filter: Young Avengers

I just beat Captain America.

Stressed to the max right now......I think I'll just go for a run around Central Park until all the stress has been released from my body. This might take a while.

Sunday is Mother's Day....I think its going to be a depressing day for me actually. Missing my baby boy so much.

Thanks to all those who made it out last Sunday to help Jack and I celebrate our anniversary. There are many strange things about this world, but one of the things I appreciate is being able to have a future that wasn't possible in my own world.

I have to commend whoever organized the SHIELD 'garage sale'. Quite an amazing collection of items and I'm lucky enough to have acquired a new pair of cufflinks, because a man can never have too many and Jack I have a fondness for French cuffs.

[Jack]

I was planning to surprise you tonight - nice meal, long massage, fill in the rest - since the Angelus situation seems to have finally been resolved. I ran into a slight problem, however. I can't seem to get the cufflinks off. (And no, I'm not going to leave my shirt sleeves down and fastened with attempting to cook or giving you a massage.) Don't laugh. I don't know why they're stuck.

I'd prefer not to have to call in Philanthrobot if its a mechanical issue, so I'm hoping I just need another set of hands. Maybe it's just the angle...

The recent gourmet loose leaf tea trend is actually more annoying than the fancy cupcake one if a few years ago. I prefer my cup of PGtips. It fills me with caffeine and a healthy fear of God.


[X-Factor Investigations]

Right.

Here is the current situation. The NYPD is currently slammed with a number of missing person reports. It's an exceptionally high number of cases and we've been tapped to assist. While I'm no expert, I imagine the missing persons has something to do with the recent vampire infestation. It's not as though those that become vampires leave a body when they're Buffy'ed. Therefore, they would still be on the books as missing. While I imagine we can't just go around telling people their loved ones are now dead because they were turned into demon spawn, I would like to weed out these hopeless cases from the individuals who need immediate locating.

Cora and Molly, what can you two tell me about voice locating? Is there any way to tell whether that's how a person met their end or not using environmental factors?

Allergies. There are some days worse than others.

FILTERED TO AVENGERS (NEW, OLD, FROM OTHER WORLDS):

All right, so I've decided to try my hand at some training. I'm taking sign-ups right here.

FILTERED TO ANGEL:

Rumor tells me you're not all grr anymore.

Now that my internal organs are all back where they belong and functioning properly -- and I am entirely and completely recovered from my reunion with violent hedonism and moved in and unpacked in my new flat -- I'd like to invite you all to see the place.

Of course by all, I mean the people I like. But I'm not going to bother filtering this because honestly, if you don't know whether or not I like you, obviously I don't.

If you're an Avenger, though, I suppose Tony would like it if you still come, whether I like you or not.

Saturday the tenth. It will be catered.

[Jessica Drew (616)]

You, though. You I need.

Last week I was feeling really dark, so I apologize if I gave anybody mean looks. But I think that I'm better now. Well, as better as a broken mirror taped can be. I started playing video games. I'm actually not terrible at Call of Duty. Leveled up like forty times, which isn't saying much because you got double the points this past weekend. I'm rambling now, though.

If anyone wants to hang out, let me know. I'm tired of spending so much time by myself because I'm terrible company when I don't feel good.

Two days late and a dollar short, I'd like to tip my hat to one Ms. Elizabeth Jane Cochran, or Nellie Bly as the world knows her, the world's foremost investigative journalist, inventor and industrialist at a time in which doors were not subtly shut in the faces of women.

Finding it all too easy to be declared insane, she had herself committed in order to report on the conditions in women's psychiatric care at the time. Of such, she writes:

What, excepting torture, would produce insanity quicker than this treatment? Here is a class of women sent to be cured. I would like the expert physicians who are condemning me for my action, which has proven their ability, to take a perfectly sane and healthy woman, shut her up and make her sit from 6 a.m. until 8 p.m. on straight-back benches, do not allow her to talk or move during these hours, give her no reading and let her know nothing of the world or its doings, give her bad food and harsh treatment, and see how long it will take to make her insane. Two months would make her a mental and physical wreck.

Later, she would re-create the journey of Phileas Fogg and do it it less than 80 days. In her later years, she married and industrialist and lived quite the life. Not only did she take an interest in several less fortunate and orphaned children, but she also held patents for many an intriguing object. Though she later entered bankr

Ms. Bly also covered the Eastern Front during the Great War and the Woman Suffrage Parade of 1913.

It's reading stories of women such as Nellie Bly - women whose lives just intersected my own - that make me glad to be farsighted, and glad to give precisely zero figs regarding the opinions of those whose intention it is to railroad or malign a woman who only seeks to further herself.

So, Ms. Bly. Perhaps I was upside down in a bottle of tequila on Cinco de Mayo, but this afternoon I give thanks to your pioneering ways.

TEXT TO WALTER BLYTHE:

-- I know you're busy at work, dearest, but I need to tell you.
-- I love you. You are my son, and I love you.
-- Dorian spilled your secret, darling.

My daughter came to visit this weekend. She left a pair of socks:

If you were to put a lower limit on it, How young do you think is too young to enlist?

Would you believe this isn't the weirdest month I've ever had?

[ BONNIE BENNETT: ]
Eesh! Hi! Okay. Angel's all back to normal and everything and I have had a solid night's sleep so I'm all rested up and ready to go. I'd like to help you with the magic shop if I can. Are you running it by yourself right now?

So I have been here for a year and a half, which is like a super long time. Almost forever. And I've met so many cool people that I wouldn't have met otherwise cause they totally don't exist in my world. Which is kind of lame but I don't know my worlds pretty cool otherwise.

I'm just, I don't know, grateful it got to meet all of you? Which is kind of weird to say, right? But I mean I was just thinking. Which usually never ends up anywhere good anyway.

That's it for the sappy part. I promise. Now I think I'm going to decide if I'm going to go on a trip this summer!

[Torunn]
Have you ever ridden on a horse before? Cause Sully invited me to go to his ranch and learn and you could totally come too! It seems like an asgardian thing, right? I mean that sounds like something they'd do.

Yep. Got my suit. Thanks, Tony. I'm officially War Machine again, and still officially more badass than you. Unless you're Pepper or Captain America, then I got nothing.

I'm going to Mom'sPhilly this weekend. I talked to MomRoberta and she said that you two are invited and acted like all she was going to do was feed us or something. Anyway, I figured maybe we could take care of her yard while we're there? Like mow it and put out whatever flowers she likes for spring. Clean the gutters, stuff along those lines. And, you know, take her out to dinner or cook or whatever. She deserves it.

Anyway, you two want to go?

I saw Dorian is doing better, and I'm glad for him. Are you feeling better?

Filter: Pym

How closely do you track or remember everyone who's here? I may make some lists.

I went people watching this evening in Central Park. You can learn a lot about a stranger just staying in one place, not even following them. Then there's some stories that the explanation has to be good, to make sense of what they said or did. No one is normal when you really watch them.

Who: James & Remus
What: filling in the newest Maraudery arrival on their crappy future.
When: Wednesday night!
Where: Sam's
Warnings: Remus's life sucks
