The Doorway: a panfandom game

I take a look around me at this bar sometimes and still can't believe this is even real. It took a hell of a lot of fighting, and some not exactly legal things, to get Merlotte's open in the first place back in Bon Temps, and no one believed I'd make it. A bar, way out there in the middle of nothing in northern Louisiana? I was fucking crazy. And I was right.

I'm coming up on two years at Sam's, and I still gotta pinch myself. Bars come and go in New York like people do. There one day, gone the next. And here we are, two years on. Couldn't have done any of this without Tony and Pepper, though, so thank you, for what you've done for us. Back home, my bar was home for a lot of folks. I hope it's become the same for some folks here too. That's all a guy like me can really want at the end of the day.

If anyone's in the market for a job, come on by. Or if you're just interested in trying out my two year anniversary mead, well, you'll have to wait until November. I gotta say, it's my best yet.

CAROL DANVERS (EMH):

Hey. Sorry I've been How's everything going?

Jack... did you or your actor sleep with the Queen? Because I'm not sure how else to explain the fact that your actor was appointed a member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire at the Queen's Birthday Honours.

Having met the man - John Barrowman - at Comic-Con this past year, he's a great guy and cheers to him, but I think if he and Jack end up in the same place again, well... It's a bit overwhelming, shall we say.

So I hope most of you should know me by now, but my name's Det. Renee Montoya, NYPD by way of Gotham. This past year the Tesseract's given us one of Gotham's own, a man as Jonathan Crane, aka the Scarecrow. Crane's a psychopath who has been linked to several high profile bioterrorist attacks including one on our tower last year. At one incident last weekend at Hank's Pumpkintown, for all appearances, the Tesseract took him back.

What I'm asking, and what the NYPD wants to make sure, is that it has. And that any sort of of remaining cells are swept up. I know a lot of you are boots to the pavement sorts. So what I'm asking is if you hear any rumblings that sound like scarecrow, pass it along my way. [Number] is the NYPD's tipline. [Number] is my cell phone number. Or I can be filtered on here. Tips can be anonymous.

You remember Quinn?

Crane never had a lieutenant like that, right?

[Filtered to Ashley Williams]

So I got my own task force. That doesn't feel like something to be celebrating.

[Filtered to People at Avengers Mansion yesterday]

Same goes for you guys, you remember anything you want to add, I will make note of it.

For those of you interested in the whereabouts of James Buchanan Barnes, the younger. He has been located here at the Kamchatka. But something has happened to him. You might all want to come and see for yourself.

He's all right, but he's in bad need of a razor.

Text Message to the Doctor (10)

>> Doctor? I'm really sorry.
>> Donna started asking questions about her memories being taken away.
>> I tried explaining how dangerous it was by telling her the time I absorbed the Time Vortex.
>> I think I made things worse.

FILTERED TO PETER PARKER 616:

Hey, so, I realize this is really last minute so you can make that face you Parkers make when you're not sure about something, but you know. Halloween is coming up, and Ben doesn't like to be around the city for it. I wanted to do something for him before then so he knows he has something to come back to and that I love him and as a sort of celebration of him being alive and all, you know.

I was wondering if I could borrow one of your webshooters tonight to make a kind of big hammock on the Chrysler building. I already got permission from the building owners to be up there so I could set it up. I'm kind of lacking in the bodily web-making (which is good, thankfully because I'm not sure I could handle that), and I'd have just borrowed one of his, but he might suspect and I wanted this to be a surprise. I kind of just thought about the web bit of it, so I'm sorry I'm asking so last minute. Don't feel bad if you don't want to.

Well, you can call off the search party, I ain't dead.

You know, I got an awful lot of texts and missed calls. If I didn't know better I'd say some of you missed me.

Except for those among you who were trying to gauge my whereabouts in order to steal my roommate and my XBOX.


Anyway the real lesson here is that there's no goddamn reason to make a freezer that locks from the outside. Especially if you're not gonna give it wifi.

I went to see your tailor today. He's going to do me a nice three piece suit. We decided on a royal blue shirt. The tie is the colour of my favourite of your red shirts.

Are you going to let me borrow your stopwatch or should I get one of my own?

Do we want to find a Halloween party to go to?

I kind of feel like I haven't left the lab in a week.

[Filtered to Gwen Stacy]

Hey, I saw last week was kind of rough for you and figured I'd check in. How's Stark going?

I'm playing the Scratcher tonight. In the East Village. No cover. Apparently we're all still drinking Pabst, so it might interest you to know they're $4 on draft.

You poor assholes are getting ripped off from the smokes to the subway.

I play what I play, but my first time out in the new world I thought I should pull in a little of the native feeling, right? So if you think Amy Winehouse was a goddamn genius, you should come.

[Gwen Stacy, David Alleyne, Flash Thompson, Harry Osborn]

You guys wanna go?

I am very confident that I am mastering the art of Google. I have discovered that there is a television show in which my sister and I are characters, but I have no recollection of any of those events happening, but perhaps I hadn't lived them yet?

But no, ( cut for spoilers ) And the Elsa in that program doesn't look anything like me. My blue gown is much, much prettier.

I finished the book this afternoon and I don't think I've been able to think coherently since. Did you say that there are more? It feels as if there should be more. And questions. I have so many questions and I don't know how to articulate them all, especially about quantam everything. I don't understand.

I feel the need for frozen yogurt. I've never had it and I just finished a book and the only thing I can actually think right now is that I need frozen yogurt. Will you come with me?

How do I go about enrolling in school here? I understand that there is a test I can take that will allow me to attend university, and I think I would like to do that.

We've been invited to the American Embassy.

So either they're going to kill all of us, or we might just be able to put our feet solidly on home soil after this.

And if so, should I do tofu or chickpeas for protein? Or both?
