( spoilers for The Ruby Circle )

As kidnappings go, this was simultaneously the most painful and least scary. Well, least scary once everything was explained to me. That pamphlet was really very helpful. They told me people I know are here. Eddie? So consider this my official request for a roll call, please.

I know you're here, because I can feel you through the bond. Why is the bond active again? Did you go back off your medication? You feel really

I... there just aren't enough words to apologise for what you were put through and I will not insult you by asking you to forgive me. I really am most truly sorry.

I'm afraid I will not be in at the shop this week. I am really feeling quite out of sorts. I am sorry. I shall make it up to you somehow.

[Jacen]

You were loud for a moment and then hushed. Are you all right?

I think I'll just sleep for a week. Or take a vacation to somewhere dangerous. I feel like that would be fun. I miss going to dangerous places sometimes. I'm such a danger junkie.

Who: Samwise Gamgee and OPEN

Status: Open for anyone or complete as a narrative

[Potts Tower Youth Center]

I was thinking of doing a kind of Purim party thing, next week. Do you think we'd have space in the Youth Center for something like that? Generally, I guess I could do it myself but I'm feeling like everyone is probably done with pocket dimensions for a while

One, when Niagra Falls freezes over I think we can all agree it's time this winter came to an end.

Two, it may be for a good cause but I still cannot wrap my head around this. Why in frigidly cold temperatures would you go swimming in the ocean?

Can we try and not have a repeat of you disappearing and being sucked into our tv anytime soon?

The internet saw fit to remind me that if this was my world, I'd be 51 today. That's an interesting thought to wrap my mind around. Even stranger was the information that if I was 51 then William would be 14. I'm not ready for my child to be a teenager.

[Deadpool]

There was no Deadpool channel was there? You didn't pull anyone into your brain box? I'm just thinking if you did, someone is probably going to have to find whoever went there and have 'em committed.

Sometimes you read something on Tumblr that just sums up your life way better than you ever could.

Adrian and I have something to share with you all.

[Filtered to Zoe Sage]

I have something important to tell you.

[THERE WILL BE RUBY CIRCLE SPOILERS IN THE COMMENTS]

WHO: Remus Lupin + Sirius Black
WHEN: Valentine's Day
WHERE: Sirius's flat

WARNINGS: Sexual references

( ... )

Who: Obi-Wan Kenobi & the Jedi of the Tower
Where: Obi-Wan Kenobi's rooms, 11th Floor
What: Obi-Wan stages an intervention.
When: Tuesday evening, February 24, 2015
Status: IC/OOC

( A Gathering of Jedi )

Who: Tommy Shepherd and his TV friends
When: Backdated to the end of the Midnight Channel plot
Where: The Midnight Channel version of the Kaplan's house
What: Tommy has to deal with feelings. Which he still insists he doesn't have.
Rating: There's some creepiness with puppets.
Status: Completed Narrative, others in the plot can tag in with their own if they would like.

( I’m not Billy. People remember Billy. )

Does anyone around here have experience with swordfighting, or fighting on horseback?

ETA: And does anyone either own a ranch or know of one where something like this would be alright?

Who: Michael Westen (two of them!), Audrey, Sam, and everyone else from his dungeon is welcome to tag in too.

Where: Michael's dungeon.
What: Michael faces his greatest fear: himself. His inner monster tries to convince him that's all he is.
Rating: High? There will be mentions of character deaths, childhood abuse, war/spy stuff, etc. Also there's a kidnapped child, but he's just an illusion of the dungeon bc I couldn't traumatize Charlie any more. (Also forgive the present tense at the beginning. I went into Spy Tip Voiceover Mode and it didn't work any other way >.>)

As jarring as this weekend may have been, I think back to the writings of Carl Jung:

Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks within awakens.

I think many of us have shared something deep, and that isn't to be overlooked. Perhaps we should ask what our own channels might have shown.

But the more I learn about what it means to be an X-man, the more I wonder if we should stay here as long as we can.

I know you've probably given some thought to this, but did you have thoughts on dates?

It's funny how New York seems rather small compared to what I've seen. And bloody boring in the long run

If anyone wants to get in on the March Madness brackets, let me know.

I have numbers.

Also, I'm back.

So, I think we can all agree that totally sucked. Not only did we get imprisoned by our own minds, basically, and not only did our friends have to deal with all the resulting shit with us, but it was basically broadcast for the world to see. I don't know about you guys, but that was a whole lot of crap I really didn't want a bunch of witnesses to.

Anyway, not that I want to sit around a fire and sing kumbaya or anything, but maybe it'd be good if we could all talk about what we went through. Because the people I'd normally do that with just keep telling me how it wasn't my fault. I guess what I'm saying is maybe this group of us who all went through it are the only ones who can really understand and maybe we can help each other deal a little better.

I don't think that is something I ever care to experience again.

How about dinner this week some place nice?

I was thinking that with the possible werewolf activity we might want to get those of who do magic and research projects together to look into what might be helpful should there be an actual werewolf here.

My schedule is - a bit crazy right now, but I do know a thing or two about werewolves from our world at least, that might be helpful.
