( I told you--I ask the questions )

[Natasha Romanova (616)]

know where I'd love to be right now? Someplace with water that doesn't smell like sewage, maybe with some sunlight. Lots of sunlight. And sand. And drinks served in coconuts.

Yep. That would be great.

[Jess Drew (616)]

How's it going with your bird problem?

[Nick Fury Tony Stark (616)]

how's it going, now that you don't look as old as you feel?

FILTERED TO GILES:

Will you be around the shop at 5? I need to look into some scented candles. Sea scents.

FILTERED TO DAWN SUMMERS:

6pm. Mochas. Shopping. You. Me?

Wanna meet me at Widdershins?

FILTERED TO WILLOW ROSENBERG:

You're going to be at the shop tomorrow, right?

FILTERED TO ANGEL:

So how does this uber sunblock work?

FILTERED TO BEN REILLY:

Hey loverboy, fancy a late night dip in the ocean?

FILTERED TO MIGHTY AVENGERS:

I'm Janet van Dyne, codename Wasp. Most of you know already know me or have worked with me. It's been some time since I've lead a group, so it's probably best if we eased into it.

In the interested of disclosure, I've run into some trouble here and there with someone known as David Cannon. Storm, Spidey -- you might recognize him as Whirlwind. In our world, he was a mutant, and he was obsessed with me. He tried to go after Hank a few times as well as kidnap me. It was not fun times at all. Here, he's only obsessed with me because I got him arrested after a bank robbery early last year. I followed him after he got out -- apparently bank robberies don't give you a lot of time here -- and after a few months of him coming and going out of the Oscorp building, one day, he emerged as Whirlwind. We've had a few scuffles since then, but he's been hiding out mostly as far as I can tell.

I was thinking that first and foremost, we could do some training together so that we can get a feel for one another as a team. Nothing worse than finding out that you can't function together for any number of reasons. If you're all available, I'd like to schedule some time as soon as possible. When are you all available?

[Filtered to Sadie Kane, Illyana Rasputina]

You have my book.

[Outstanding Avengers: Bucky Barnes (EMH), Wanda & Pietro (616), Thor (616)]

Good morning, and welcome to our team. Thor, I'd like to welcome you again to this world? And this New York. I am one of the housing assistants for Potts Tower so if there is anything that you need, feel free to ask and I'll do my best.

But, on topic, Some of you, I've already worked with & some of you I don't know all too well, and that's something I'd like to change as soon as possible. I thought we might spend this afternoon at the mansion, if we're all available, to discuss what we'd like to focus on, and any concerns we might have regarding the safety of the city, or the world.

I know that HYDRA, while it's taken a beating thanks to SHIELD and the Avengers of this world, is still out there and still a threat, and I myself would not be opposed to looking into leads or opportunities to stamp them out wherever they're still active. If that's an objective you'd like to help me with, I'd appreciate that. Otherwise, again, it's an open form. Let's talk.

[Anne Blythe]

Anne?
Let's have dinner tonight.
I'll make reservations.

[Filter to Secret Avengers (Alison Argent, Jessica Drew, Logan, Natasha Romanova)]

Alright so we all know each other, except for the new girl, Alison. She's from some teen werewolf show or something like that and she likes arrows so that's cool. It's an MTV thing. Alison, these are pretty much the best Avengers, and also Logan.

I don't think we need to practice together or shit, but I'm at the gym most afternoons so if you want to join, that's cool. Especially you, Teen Wolf.

But anyway, so far as Avenging goes, I know it's not big, but I've kind of stumbled upon a thing. I don't know if you guys are interested but I met these three guys the other night right? And they're kind of having some trouble with getting forced out of their block where they're performing. So I was thinking of helping them out cause you know, that's kind of shitty.

[Filter to VA]

So, um, where's Zoe going to stay? Is she old enough to have her own place? Will they let her do that? Please don't say she's going to be staying with us. I mean, I know she's Sydney's sister, but

[Filter to all Supernaturals]

So how do you convince your future sister-in-law that you're actually not an evil creature of darkness?

[Filter to Zoe]

We should really try to start over. I'm willing if you are.

[Sydney]

Everything okay?

Yesterday, August 4th 2014 marked a hundred years since the day that the United Kingdom declared war on Germany. While the British declaration of war automatically brought Canada into the fight, because our foreign policy was still governed by UK parliament, we, as Canadians had the freedom to determine our own level of involvement and we decided the nest day, August 5th, to declare a war between Canada and Germany.

For the first, Canadian forces fought along side each other as their own, distinct unit, and under a Canadian-born commander. Our casualties stood at the end of the war at 67,000 killed and 250,000 wounded, out of 620,000 people mobilized.

"It is our duty to let Great Britain know and to let the friends and foes of Great Britain know that there is in Canada but one mind and one heart and that all Canadians are behind the Mother Country."


Canada's birthday is marked as July 1, 1867 when we became a new federation with its own constitution by signing the Constitution Act. But I think that our real birthday, the day that we became truly our own, was on that 5th of August in 1914. A day that would lead us towards international recognition, honour and especially towards our identity as a nation and as a people who believe in doing what is right not only for our citizens, but for the world.

So Happy Birthday, Canada.

Who: Fenris
When: 4 August, late-ish.
Where: Escargot, Paris
What: Fenris' lyrium brands do something strange.

( He knew what kind of pain the brands could cause and this was something different. )

Who: Spidey and Spidey (both 616, one stuck in the past)
When: Monday, July 28, sometime during the day
Where: The streets of NYC. Or well, above the streets of NYC.
What: Ben gets back from San Diego and goes to check on his new 'little' brother. Hilarity and awkward ensues.
Rating: PG?

( So, scale of thirty to fifty, how much you still freaking out about future-AU-ville? )

[Text to Angel]

» So here's something fascinating.
» I did some searching right after my work shift at NYPL this morning.
» Or I tried to -- the pages on Cthluhu are missing
» Please tell me it's not just me that has a bad feeling about this.

[Text to Giles, sent around 6pm]

» Are you at Widdershins?

[Text to Faith, sent around 7:25pm]

» Faith? Are you available?

So do any of you big, strong superhero types wanna help a girl move this weekend?

I'll buy dinner. ♥

[Filtered to Friends + Stark Resilient]

I could not be more excited about this place. You all have to come over when we're moved in. Which will probably be after AIT at the end of the month, or maybe After Australia, so. Later in September. I'll get back to you.

Although Herc, I still kind of want to redo the floors.

[Avengers, Friends]

This whole "gamma candy" thing is one of those bull shit news stories to scare us about what , right?

Like when they told us high school kids were trading sex for multi-colored jelly bracelets?

[Illyana, Bast, and the Next Avengers]

I need you guys at the House of Life like RIGHT now! This is like red alert stuff.

Illyana you're with me. And you know why.

The rest of you, okay I can't really explain but someone is about to make a move on the House. Someone being crazy and stupid and super mean right now! And he might have some crazy stupid mean followers.

But we can't bring in the grown ups. They haven't believed me and Illyana this whole time so you can't tell them. I mean this is kinda end of the world stuff but Illyana and I have totally got it. This is like what we are experts in. But we need your help okay?

Oh also hi Bast! I was kinda trapped in a side dimension office waiting room for like a week. I need your help protecting the book too.

Why does Adrian want to take me for ice cream?

Filter to Fantastic Avengers

Hey, team. So I guess we should talk about what we want to accomplish. But, you know, we're Avengers and believe me that's probably one of the coolest things you can be.

In any case, you know SHIELD's gone, so it's up to all of the teams to sort of step in where we can to take care of the things while they're gone. So we'll go on patrol, see what comes up, fight some bad guys, eat pizza. If you're Starfire, drink mustard. We should also do a little bit of training, see how we do together.

My birthday was in June. Hell. You know, calling a drug "candy" never ends well.

Quite interesting. The morning after I arrived, I found my book shop downstairs amongst all the other shops. A-Z Books (well, the name is very new) is located conveniently next to the coffee shop, so please feel free to stop in. Or not, I really don't mind.

Filter to Crowley

I try once a day to go home, but it doesn't work. So we're here for the time being. And going back won't be so bad, you know. He -- young Adam -- fixed it. The ineffable plan is still in place.

But more pressingly: how did you warrant two bedrooms? I'm the one who needs the library, my dear.

[Filtered to magic users]
I have a situation I need assistance with. In my world, I summoned a Callistana, essentially a very minor demon dragon. He came here with me, and is only supposed to exist for a year and a day, and the day he disappears, well...it's approaching quickly. I was wondering if anyone might have a thought as to how I might extend his...well, life, I suppose.

Please, if anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.

Happy August! I was so busy last week from getting caught up with what I missed when I was a girl that I completely forgot to post about the upcoming Variety Show! I want to thank everyone who has helped so far in putting it together, but we're still almost a month away from the show, so there's still a lot to do. Tickets went on sale on Friday the 1st ($15 a ticket), and are available at the reception desk at the Youth Center, or speak with me and I'll make sure I get some to you.

We are still booking people to perform! So if you would like to contribute in that way, or in any other way, please let me know.

I had dinner with Steve tonight.

Filtered: Clone Club

The ninjas returned. They attacked me, when I was alone. I wasn't exactly speaking to myself these last... the point is, they didn't hurt me so much as trap me and take that stupid medallion I kept ahold oflike a security blanket. There is now only one of me, which saves on food costs and head spins. And hopefully their victory means this is the last of them. Right? They haven't come back to bother you, Cosima, have they? They aren't tied to that Max Dillon person at all, right? He looked like he's been the last one picked in PE well into his professional career. But he's no ninja underling.

The Clinic's paperwork is all caught up. It has never been caught up before. Thank the Lord for small miracles. How has it only been August a week? It feels longer.

Filter to Mighty Avengers and Peter Parker (616):

Hey, so, two of us decided that tonight would be just awesome for a beach party down at Rockaway Beach, but apparently a whole lot of other people had the same idea. Except less surfboards and volleyball and more not fun sacrificey. Both the let me give myself to the ocean and drowning my friend seems like a great idea variety. So... who's up for an impromptu training session?

Continued Filter to Pete:

And could you help a bro out and... um... bring him a spare suit and web-shooters? Y'know. Make the whole controlling unruly masses a little easier.

[FILTERED TO THE AMAZING AVENGERS (Clint Barton / Hawkeye (EMH), Henry Jekyll, Sara Lance, Bobbi Morse / Mockingbird (EMH))]

Hey, guys! Remember that fateful day when you agreed to be on my team despite half the room awkwardly looking at their feet and wondering if it was really a good idea letting the motormouth take the lead? Yeah, good times. I still have some pics of it on my phone. Hawkeye, you're just the most photogenic --

Sorry, should be saving the jokes for later. I'm booking it for Rockaway Beach right now, and help would be much obliged! From what I'm getting, we have a situation with people trying to drown themselves and others in the ocean. Call this your first team assignment, okay? Let's make sure the victim count stays at zero tonight. These people aren't acting on their own free will. Be as gentle as you can, got it?

This is what I get for complaining I was gettin' kind of bored, huh?

Filtered: Gunn

Hey, if you're looking for something to do, the beach is the place to be tonight. In the "bring your weapons and try not to get sacrificed" kinda way.

Unless you're feeling like worshipping an octopus or whatever this thing is, in which case I already knocked out one friend tonight, so go ahead and try something.
