The Doorway: a panfandom game

California! Golden gates, Hollywood hills, and beautiful beaches. Don't know why I don't come out here more often! Almost a shame I've got a schedule to abide by now, would stay out here longer. Me! With a proper schedule! Not certain how much longer I can manage this business of being confined to linear time. So human. So very human.

Right, then. Sorry. I'm in San Francisco, was a bit keen on seeing Alcatraz. Realised I've been... well, anyway. Dropped off Sam Winchester and Veronica Mars, mostly the reason why I'm here.

RIVER SONG
Hello, River. Doing all right?

DONNA NOBLE
Donna. Are you busy?

Hey! Hey, Gaige! I won.
I'm the sniper of snipers!
Surf and turf for us.

A night down (and it almost always is down) by the docks is the same anywhere - you find the right sink-hole of a bar with the right mix of vodka, darkness, and reluctant polyglots, and you'll probably come up trumps. It was a little easier back when I was handing out jobs instead of hunting one, but my liver's suffered worse.

And then, wandering desolate neighborhoods - if they can be called neighborhoods - searching for breakfast at seven in the morning is as much part and parcel of the thing as deciding whether to shout at someone in French or in your twenty words of Mandarin, but I've never thought it was quite as much fun. Found a decent stretch of sidewalk with something purporting to be coffee, though, and am now enjoying this lovely view:

My stealth photography skills are sadly atrophied, or maybe just outclassed by the instrument, so I couldn't get a decent shot of the interior without looking like I was about to steal the thing. Not that anyone would - it was nothing so special when it was made, and doubtless still isn't - but it really is beautiful, the way some people take care of their things. Not a scratch on it.

What was that? Is everyone alright?

The internet in this place is a fascinating experience. Obviously we have a version of it in my time but it is vastly different, even more so on an exploratory starship such as the Enterprise as we are often too far from the highly inhabited worlds and their satellites to be able to easily access their networks. Our internal shipwide network is, of course, highly popular and a significant portion of the ship's available computer memory is dedicated to it. Our Recreation Officer, Lieutenant Tanzer, calls it a release valve. It is certainly fascinating to watch the type and amount of traffic during the ship's more stressful times.

I've been here near a year and it seems like we've never had a quiet month. It's always one crisis or another. A sensible person might find it quite tiring.

[ EMMA SWAN: ]
Do you have a second to look towards the future?

I don't know what the hell that was, but I'm suiting up. Gonna be a lot of accidents out there to help with. Anyone wanna tag along with me?

[Filter: Harry Potter people + friends]

Is everyone all right?

What was that? I'd said it was a large scale shielding spell of some sort, but there's not magic here, so that doesn't really work.

Let me know you're all right.

What the actual fuck just happened? And, you know. Everyone okay?

[Tony Stark & Peter Parker (Both 616)]

Uh oh.

[SWORD]

Everyone at stations.

Comms, we have more reports coming in than we can handle. I want everyone able combing through intelligence. Blake, Jones, Summers. You three are on hand with me talking to higher ups.

Ops, you will be tasked on different reports as we get them through.

So I'm seeing a lot of things everywhere about that light thing a few hours ago. But I'm not seeing anything anywhere about what it might actually BE. Is it something anyone has experienced before, and if so, what is it and is it dangerous and what can we do about it?

>>Hello, James.

>>I wanted to ask you a question, if you don't mind.

FILTERED TO SAM + DEAN WINCHESTER, JO HARVELLE, VERONICA MARS:

Bright flash? Was that real, or was that like the rest of the lights I've been seeing?

The sickness is giving way to a vague kind of clarity and that clarity is giving way to crushing despair, by the way, thanks for asking.

I picked a hell of a month to quit drugs, it looks like.

>>Hey pretty lady.

>>I have some pizza.

>>Care for some company?

>>Okay, asking here because...
>>The fuccck was that?

>>Already feel like my head is exploding.
>>Don't need this.


[Seperate text to Alison]

>>I need you.
>>Sponsor related.

It'd be nice if the world could not fall apart for a few minutes.

[Private to Sophia]

I think I have feelings for Alex again. Am I crazy?

The fuck?

Tell me you guys saw that.

I've got a feeling that the initial reports of the rapture being the source of the white light didn't quite have the best grasp of that particular story. I'm not the most religious person, but I'm fairly certain that today's event isn't how it goes.

Been here over a year, though, and so much has happened. I'm married, in a few months I'm having a little boy. That will take getting used to, he's no longer the baby, or the fetus, or Stormageddon. No more bean, button, etc. Just Jackson. Jackson Castle.

I've got a question for you. A personal one, though you aren't under any obligation to answer.

A lot of people are freaking out over that light thing.

FILTERED TO SHERLOCK (ELEMENTARY):

You would think it's not possible to miss whatever everyone is talking about, but I'm fairly sure I completely missed it. Everything all right on your end? I heard it's a little crazy out there right now.

FILTERED TO EMMA:

I was actually going to ask if you were free tonight, so I feel partly responsible for the fact that things went to hell. Anyway, I was thinking there's only a handful of people who... understand what it's like being apart from their child. If you ever wanted to talk for a bit. I think I should

So to take classes through the ESD...do you have to be under eighteen?

Everyone okay?

[backdated to yesterday morning]

How are you dear? I noticed that some of your friends had arrived recently.

For those who knew know him, Adrian Ivashkov was sent home again I don't know if I can.

I wonder how many songs are gonna be written about this thing, and how many will be a rip off of Blinded by the Light?

WHOVERSE:

Of all the times to be with the Doctor...

Everyone all right? That was bloody strange.

SULLY:

That was something today, wasn't it? Are you okay? How was the service?
