This is the longest I have ever gone without being attacked by or otherwise having a demon or any other form of evil to vanquish. I am actually bored.

So anyone know a good place of employment for a former social worker who, unfortunately, has none of her paperwork on her?

I found a pair of boys marking up the side of the building this morning and convinced them to stop. Unfortunately, they ran before I could similarly convince them to clean up what they had done. How does one remove air paint from a wall?

WARNING: THAT LINK IS GRAPHIC.

I don't know how magic works in other worlds, or how open societies are with them, but in mine, we hid for a good reason. We studied the witch hunts, the men and women burned or hanged or stoned alive simply for being accused of being witches. I know a lot of those from my world here would argue that we can indeed live in peace and harmony with the Muggles non-magical folk. I would simply point them to this news story, which details how an accused witch was burnt alive. That news story does show graphic, though thankfully Muggle non-moving, photographs of the incident.

Now, you may say 'But Blaise, that occurred in a small pocket of the world, nowhere near as advanced as our illustrious 'western society' claims to be,' I would direct you to this story, which isn't graphic at all, but it absolutely disgusting in its dismissal of witchcraft as the devil's work. (The fact that our hospital is named St Mungo's seems to be lost on them.) See there? In these United States? Yea, there's a reason we're not public and it doesn't take a witch burning across the world to see why. No wonder the protesters don't take kindly to us being here.

I don't want you going out by yourself.
Nor really do I want you staying in this prime target either.
We need a new plan. Staying anywhere is disadvantageous for us.

Things have been relatively quiet over the last few weeks. Life is settling down. I have the best roommate ever. I've enjoyed spending time with him and settling into life here. I am growing to love this city - even if it's full of things that bother me in some fashion.


Filter: Regina, Regulus, Blaise, Pansy, Daphne
I'm planning on hosting a dinner at the apartment this coming Monday. I would be pleased if you would all come, since we haven't really been able to get together much yet. Regulus, Blaise, Pansy - I'd like you to meet Regina. I think you'll like her as much as I do. Daphne, I think you've already met her, correct? if not, same applies to you.

Have you heard back from SHIELD at all?

Apparently looking up information about myself on this internet thing isn't the best idea. Not only do I make poor eye wear choices in the future, but I also die in what becomes another war against You-Know-Who. But, hey, at least I make it to the '90s, because my brother, sister-in-law, niece, nephews, and parents didn't. I mean, honestly. Did this writer just decide to throw everything at our family because, why the hell not?

On the plus side, at least I become Head of the DMLE.

While a group of people went to play with children and toddlers this weekend, I stayed in the basement and filled out the necessary paperwork to allow me to comfort sick infants. Hopefully next Saturday I'll be able to hold a little girl again. The woman processing my paperwork was a fan of Harry's books, but told me she'd been Sorted at Pottermore into Slytherin and had a soft spot for them. We had a nice conversation about the portrayal of Slytherins in the books, and I was able to ask her a fair deal many questions that I'd been wanting answered. The story of how Potter and Weasley sneaked into Slytherin as Crabbe and Goyle and Hermione was turned into a cat was amusing. Though at the very end, she did throw me by surprise when she told me that the author of these books never saw fit to discuss me in detail until four books after introducing me. So much so that many reading the books thought I could have been a lily white girl with bleach blonde hair, named Mary Sue.

I know there aren't many of us, but a dinner of sorts might be nice, to at least have a few allies in this place.

I am pleased to have spent the last few weeks getting comfortable with my new roommate, and enjoying the comforts this city has to offer. I have spent time with friends, namely Regulus and Regina, and am content with how things are moving along here. I have no doubt soon I shall find work - I am not used to this level of creature comforts and miss those that I have at home. I have to work hard to get them here, but that is alright.

I am slowly learning things about this city, and I am not sure how much I truly understand. It's dirty, grimy, dark but also fun, lively and there's much to do. It's a city and that's all I can ever hope for. It's home now, and it's hard to imagine I have been here a month and change already! I am happy enough.

Regulus
How about dinner soon? something nice, out in the city?


Regina
I hope tea helped the other day.

If you took off the ridiculous hat and ignored the disgusting tattoos, this could be me and my daughter, Naleada. She was about this small when I was pulled here. Naleada is much prettier than the girl in this Muggle picture and why don't people move in Muggle photos? So strange, though I'm sure every parent feels that way about their child.

Someone had posted about visiting some children and playing with them - if there are babies that need to be held, I'd like to come along.

Does anyone else out there have family they miss terribly?

ME AND RON WENT TO DYLAN'S CANDY BAR.

Dylan, who is a she by the way, had all sorts of "Harry Potter" candy like chocolate frogs and Bertie Bott's and fudge flies. None of it is the same as what you get at Honeyduke's but the effort's pretty good all things considered. We got a lot and I charmed some of the chocolate frogs to go jumping like they're supposed to so that's pretty fun. It's close enough, at least.

Plus there was tonnes of other candy. All sorts, all colours, all tastes. I have a really big bag of it, and I'll share if you ask nice.

Today I braved this bizarre Muggle world for the first time, and I saw something I never expected to see: myself.

There was a large picture, only it was like a muggle picture and it didn't move (although there are a lot of pictures that people post on here that do move, but they aren't by magic) and it was myself and a man I have never met before. I was wearing some sort of skintight trousers and body suit and carrying a large bow? It said Witch Hunters at the bottom, but I've never hunted witches with a bow in my life! And I've certainly never worn anything that looked like that.

Can anyone explain this?

Nothing quite makes a girl feel special like finding out her entire life has been a work of fiction, and worse still, that she wasn't even the main character, or secondary, but a bloody background character. From what I gather, you all know how I feel. In fact, I feel so fucking special that I think I will celebrate with a drink. Pub? Pub.

Well OK. I gUess I can skiip the den ial part of this procesS, since I am very obvi--ously in the future.

This futuristic typewriter IS so

o much m ore diffIcult to type wi th-

Oh, but you can just go back and delete your errors? Well, isn't that ducky! Sure saves a lot of time. I'm still going at a snail's pace here, since I don't use the typewriter very often, but when I did, it was hopeless mess. I think I'll just leave those at the beginning for humor's sake.

Really though, wow. It took me hours to figure out this network thing, and it will probably be another hour by the time I'm doing writing all this out. Nevermind the stuff outside! Some things are familiar, but others look positutely out of this world. Even the lemon squeezer seemed different. A lot smoother, actually, I have to admit.

It's nice to be in New York still, but I don't know. Even with all these whosee-whatsits, it just seems like it's missing its edge. I am way too young though to be gabbing about the 'good old days'...well I guess I'm technically too young. I'm technically 17, but that's not what my birth certificate will tell you.

Oh, anyway, I'm Evie O'Neill, and I don't know from nothing what's going on. I sort of suspect I might have gotten myself into this pickle, but then, I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHY YOU ARE ALL HERE TOO, SORT OF LIKE I DON'T KNOW WHY ALL OF THE LETTERS ARE SO BIG ALL OF A SUDDEN- HOW DO I MAKE THIS STOP?

This is mindblowing. Of course it had to be in America and not somewhere with any class.

I'm told my wife is here. Pansy, where are you? Everyone else, I'm Blaise Zabini.

Muggle devices are hard to navigate, as well. I can't seem to figure out the speech to text button. It keeps typing in what I assume is Spanish. Could someone point me in the right direction of getting it to display English when I talk into it?

Hello, everyone. My name is Virginia Potts. I'm better known as (and answer to) the moniker that Tony gave me many years ago, Pepper.

I wanted to take a moment to welcome you all to the Refugee Network. Tony Stark - as well as many others - created the network so you would have a safe space to talk without the prying eyes of the media. I'd like to give them a warm thank you for their hard work.

Some of you have been here for a while, and as of today, the Tesseract has given us more refugees than it has in the previous five months, and it's still going. I'd like to take a moment to thank the hard-working men and women of S.H.I.E.L.D. for their diligence and perseverance. Without their quick thinking when refugees began to appear, this would have been nearly impossible for any one of us to handle.

And on that note, Director Fury has asked me to pass along the message that they are in dire need for Administrative Staff to help with processing. Anyone who is interested can pass on a note to your Housing Assistant.

Speaking of, there should be one Housing Assistant per two floors (and in one case, three floors). Should you require any assistance, they should be able to help you. Potts Tower is not a new building, but we have gutted it, given it an ARC reactor for clean energy, a full service gym in the basement, an outdoor patio and pool area, and an entertainment area. We plan to utilize all of these areas in the upcoming holiday season in the hopes that it helps alleviate some of the melancholy of being without your families.

Once again, welcome to the Refugee Network and Potts Tower, and I look forward to getting to know you.

-Virginia Potts
