The Doorway: a panfandom game

Okay.

Which one of you magic users turned Deadpool into a panda?

Doctor, is this why they decided to play "Toxic" as the world was ending?

To avoid interstellar piracy?

(Oddly enough, her music seems to have the opposite effect on internet piracy.)

[Tony Stark (616), Pepper Potts (616), Rory Williams + Amy Pond]

Assystem a company which prides itself in "Designing and developing the products and services of tomorrow" would like to meet with Tony Stark. They are one of the leading European Aerospace engineering firms and they are looking for a way to restructure planes to increase their fuel efficiency, reduce carbon emissions and make air travel more affordable. I just got off the phone with them -- and let me just tell you, my French was a bit rustier than I thought. But! All the same. This will be the biggest contract we've handled to date if all goes well.

The initial meeting has been set for November the 11th, we're leaving here for Heathrow overnight on the 6th, arriving on the 7th. Eurostar to Paris on the 10th. Flying Paris to New York on the 15th.

Hotels, reservations, etc - I leave to you, Pepper and Rory.

[Pepper Potts (616)]

I saw Tony last night and he looked a bit tossed around - he told me what happened yesterday. Are you all right? Is there anything I can do?

[Tony Stark (616)]

I thought we ought to take a least a brief stop in London. I'll show you the street where I used to live - sort of. You know what I mean, in any case.

Good morning, October in New York.

My name is Charles Xavier. I hope everyone is doing all right under these strange circumstances. I know I'm not quite sure what to do with myself. I've been sitting in the lobby for the last twenty minutes, staring at a potted plant. It's a very nice Heartleaf Philodendron on the reception desk, for those of you who haven't noticed it. Very well-kept. I'm terrible with that kind of thing. I kill plants as though they were the enemy.

Anyway... Hello.

[Erik Lensherr, or if you prefer - Magneto]

I know you're here. No, I haven't been in your head. I just know your habits when it comes to leaving wet towels thrown about the place, and I'm in your room.

Our room.

Really, Handsy? Did you think this was a good idea?

( Photo of some bad hair decisions )

Please don't grow your hair out, Doctor.

[Filtered to Sanctum Sanctorum residents]

Though I'm probably inviting disaster by even mentioning it, please do not go near the new violet door on the third floor for the time being.

Whatever they skimp on that makes André so cheap, it is not the alcohol.

If that french restaurant is now a portal to another world, I apologize without admitting liability.

Rather inauspicious day, don't you think?

[Filtered to Antonio Stark]

Actually, quite the opposite is true. I have been out of touch of late, however, have shelved my personal writings for the moment in the interest of pursuing an old folly. You are looking at a NBME licensed neurosurgeon. I trust you are aware of my limitations in the world of man's science, but, I have also found a means around that.

This by no means is suggesting I will give up my vocation as a Master of Mystic Arts, however. It does mean I can oversee your surgery. The sooner the better actually. I've made a friend at the Albany Neurology Center who could lend us a room sometime between the 26th and the 3rd of October if a date in that window works for you.

Dinner. Tonight. 9:30. Apiary.

Amy, if you could find a nice champagne.

Never a dull moment around here, is there? Suppose that makes this a fitting place for me to be dropped in. Fashion Week, television programs returning to the telly, and all of it overshadowed by unpleasant events without origin. Ah, well! Could all be worse, I could be forced into experiencing the former firsthand! Hah!

Now, what's everyone up to this week? I'll be perusing schools to prove my ability to teach impressionable young minds.

FILTER: Jenny (The Doctor's Daughter~)

Well, now! Settled in all right? Everything in order? Anything I can do? Perhaps I should offer you a tour of the city or some other such thing. Would you like that?

I need a crib.

I NEED A CRIB?!

Oh god I can't do this

But I did this?? YOU GUYS WITNESSED ME DOING THIS?? Being a mother? WERE YOU DRUNK?

I dont know what i was thinkking what Luke was thinikin OH GOD

[Whoverse]

Iron Man thinks I'm a Time Lord.

So, I see Breaking Bad has started up again. Since some of us come from a time way back when there are only three seasons and are trying to catch up in what little spare time we have, I'm going to ask respectfully: no spoilers.

[Filtered to Tony Stark (616)]

What was that about vampires?

Rebuild the Sanctum Sanctorum, I thought. How difficult could it honestly be? The answer is less so difficult and more, incredibly draining. Is that any worse than moving the mundane way? No, I suppose not.

But by the Shades of the Shadowy Demons! I doubt I could even muster the force of concentration necessary to watch this Catfish show which seems to be playing incessantly. It makes me miss the days when MTV had truly horrendous television, like Pauly Shore.

Maybe I am the Ancient One.

On today's edition of "will it blend," we have "the ring someone accidentally dropped in the blender while making a smoothie."

Answer: no.

No, it will not blend.


The ring is okay, though. Bit nicked. Thank god it was just the band, and not the good one.

FILTERED TO RORY WILLIAMS:

A hawk did it.

He came out of nowhere.

I'm almost done cleaning it up. Tried to use magic. Did not go as planned. There might be a small portal to another dimension in the garbage disposal but I'm roughly 80% sure that I closed it? Just... don't stick anything you like down there. A good rule of thumb in general, really.

...So Howard built this little robot that makes toast and talks about the weather and bread a lot. His name is Murphy.

Anyway he burnt mine today and now he won't come out from the corner of the counter, facing (I think it's his face) the wall. He's a self-punishing toaster.

...And it's making a sound like a wounded puppy.

I guess I'm having cereal.

[Renee Montoya]

Hey. Can I ask a question? How long have you been with the NYPD now?

Hi there. Some of The Runaways We're back-ish.

In other news, I'm trying to create a bucket list of things to do before I go home and die, and I'm coming up blank. See the world? Sounds fun; I'm broke. Learn how to make Momofuku ramen? Great, I'll forget it as soon as I cross over.



I guess this might be an opportunity to do really kinky, regret-tinged things and then get a pass for it later since I'm not going to remember it, but then I'd have to live with myself here, so.

There's just not much of a point to being here. Is there? It's nice and all and I love the people I've gotten to know here, but it's just going to disappear, isn't it? Clean slate. I almost just want to get it over with and go I'm sorry, that sounds mean and I'm probably going to be hurting feelings and I don't mean to say that other people's experiences don't count here, but whatever; I'm going through the Anger Phase of grief and my team's falling ap. Sorry. I'm a pill.

Does it seem like a lot of the more super super heroes have run off? I haven't seen as much spandex in the lobby as usual lately.

Happy Birthday, Kafka. No existential crisis would be the same without you.

[Amy Pond]

You're never going to guess what happened to me today.

By the twelve mad moons of Munnopor. Mercury retrograde may be the doom of us all. My toaster seems to be malfunctioning and it's damned impossible to find a publisher in this city for a serious treatise on crystallomancy.

This is the sort of astrological circumstance I'd much rather temper on the wilds of Watoomb. If I am scarce through July, you now know why.

[Filtered to Amy Pond]

Not what one would typically consider, but I think it should work.

But I never start anything on Wednesdays. Friday perhaps?

FILTERED TO RORY WILLIAMS

Still thinking about SHIELD?

Or did yesterday's Stark Industries Clusterfuck turn you off of the idea?

(I mean it's not exactly the daleks, so I figure you're fine, but I thought I'd check.)
