I hope the new semester is going well for all of you so far. As those of you who are taking them already know, the January Regents exams are coming up next week! I'd like to offer myself if you have any last-minute questions or concerns. Be sure to get plenty of sleep the night before any tests you have scheduled, and eat a good breakfast in the morning to fuel yourself. But also remember that these tests, while important, do not define you or your academic success. So try not to stress too much. If something goes drastically wrong, you'll have another opportunity in June.

I also want to meet with each of you individually at some point within the next month to discuss your plans beyond this semester. If you're continuing with the ESD, we can take a look at your course options for next year. If you're graduating, let's talk about what comes next for you. No matter where you are in your academic career, planning for the future is vital. It doesn't mean you can't change your mind later as your interests evolve, but it gives you something to work toward for now. Please let me know what your schedule looks like in February so we can set a time to sit down together.

I grew up in Beacon Hills, California (which doesn't exist here, but I guess.. think of Sunnydale) and even though there were some pretty low temperatures, the average was about 40-50. Snow? Once in a blue moon experience.. although the last time I saw snow was a trick played by a.. supernatural being called the nogitsune and it wasn't even cold.

And then I walk out of a late class and there's snow again. Real snow, of course. I'm still waiting for myself to get used to the cold winters in NYC but apparently, residents of NYC are still not used to it so there's no hope for me.

I can't decide whether hot and dry is better or worse than hot and humid.

I do know one thing though. Either one is better than freezing my balls off in New York.

I had last year had a talent show in the tower that showcased various talents of those who are here. It has been some time since we did that, but I thought perhaps it might be time again. And then it occurred to me that perhaps there would be some use to partnering with another group, or perhaps asking for an admission charge that could benefit a group in need. And I thought of the youth center as a possibility either for partnering with - it might be nice to showcase the talents of some of our younger tower residents. Or perhaps for fund-raising if such would be helpful.

Please let me know - if you have an interest. I am happy to assist by serving as an organizer throughout the process.

Did you see the young girl's post about assimilation a few days back?

What is... particularly unnerving about it, is that I had dreamed, had a nightmare I suppose, about my time with the borg that very night. I'm certain it's just a coincidence, but a truly eerie one.

Um? You now how in that black out people glowed and all. I didn't say anything as I didn't think that anything happened to me but I think I just saw the future... It happened five minutes later.

Well I think our trail's gone cold for now. But we got some a their stuff and floated it to comms. Seems about the only thing that didn't burn itself up was the contact list from one a their phones. So any of these names look familiar?
( cut for image )
Otherwise, I guess we'll go visit mom up in Quebec and see what's in Siberia. I don't reckon most of these numbers are still good.

You lot ever see a keener sight than Russia by January?

I mean, I guess Steve has.

Who: Annie Cresta, Finnick Odair
When: Thursday, January 22
Where: Katniss & Finnick's apartment.
What: Finnick comes back from the Secretary Games to find a very pregnant Annie Cresta. Cue massive feelings.
Rating: PG
Warnings: Two severely traumatized people with PTSD. There is a lot of talk of the Games and being tortured.

( ''Nobody's trying to hurt us here. We're safe.'' )

I'm wondering what it says that hearing reports on the news of monsters attacking seems almost normal now. The novelty has started to wear off.

[Xavin and Finnick Odair]

I believe congratulations are in order.

You both competed admirably, I do commend you. Practical, resourceful, and with level heads for the unexpected. Not to mention keen eyes for details that other people might not find important.

With the tesseract in play there's no need for me to be coy. My name is Jamie Moriarty and I've interest in an assistant who can keep up with my indulgence in legitimate business. My business includes the gathering of information to assist law enforcement agencies in areas that they might not have the discretion to approach. The work is interesting, if not always what would be classified as 'safe'. However the ability to hold one's tongue on my dealings is required.

Given the exceptional performance from you both, I had hoped that both of you might be interested in such a lifestyle.

[Fury]

Has it been fruitful for you, pet?

It's been a while since I was in a place where it seemed like there were just a few too many superheroes around. I hate getting reports from the actual news after the fact

[Filtered to Thea Queen]

I feel as though an apology is in order. It was an accident.

FILTERED TO MIGHTY AVENGERS:

All right, guys. We've got another batch of these monsters coming out of the damn water. This time in Virginia. Suit up, we're leaving within the hour. Norfolk Beach is right in their path.

[Filtered to Newton Geiszler]

Good news or bad news?

[Filtered to Akela Amador]

So how do you feel about cats?

If you're looking for me, I'll be staying in 1608 for awhile. And, no, I don't want to talk about it.

Please tell me you don't have plans tonight

Are you busy?

Here goes Since we all know that our Saturday night planning is horrible, who wants an impromptu trip to Virginia to save the beach goers from some Godzilla action?

What: Finnick thinks Katniss has a nightmare
When: Tonight
Where: Their apartment
Warnings: Probably low? (I don't know. They're from the Hunger Games. Things escalate quickly.)

( ... )

Your stars keep secrets. I wonder what they might have looked upon before your people bore smoke to cleave the territory between earth and sky. Ron rangwa amin? It is done, whatever I may say about it.

For all they are quiet, at least your steeds have much to say. The horsemaster has given consent to allow introductions now that I lend my aid. It is just as well: long has it been since new paths were made.

Now. Who among you can ride?

It's Saturday night in New York City.

Time to go have some fun.

How can they...it's them. How could the Titans come through the Tesseract?

Please tell me no one has yet to be injured.

(ooc:Mikasa's realization comes down hard after she sees the news during this)

[Tony Stark (MCU), Mikasa Ackerman, Iron Avengers + Mighty Avengers]

Ladies and Gentlemen.

It's Saturday night, and that means it's time to light up the sky. We've got a threat to Neutralize that's vulnerable to attacks from above. Magic Mikasa over there is pretty sure she's got this one in the bag, but I'd like to get us in the air, make sure there's only three of these Large and Indecents walking around and take them down.

She's in charge.

[Bruce Banner]

I'm going to open with the fact you have my word that I will not make a single Jolly Green Giant joke.
