The Doorway: a panfandom game

Has anyone see the press released for senator Ward's new campaign stance*?

I've seen what happens when shit like that gets passed. Back home, in 1977, US senator named John David Keene proposed and passed a law that criminalized all "costumed adventuring" -- unless the vigilante in question was working directly for the US government, like my father and Jon did.

It happened because of a police strike, in protest of the extreme methods used by vigilantes - it wasn't like this. There were no broad assumptions. Vigilantes did what we were being punished for.


But -- For a long time I thought it was the best thing that could have happened.







*Pcal: Senator Christian Ward uses Thursday's attack to mount a vitriolically anti-Avenger campaign. Blaming S.H.I.E.L.D. for their training and support, Senator Ward promises to take down any masked hero operating outside the law and those that harbor them.

[Private to Mr Stark and Miss Laurie]

I cannot express my deepest regrets for my behavior these past few days. I'm so sorry, Mr Stark. I didn't mean to boss you around in that manner. I don't know what came over me to think you were my butler.

And Miss Laurie, I [...] can only say that I'm mortified.

[Howard Stark]

So if i'm married to
does that mean that we are having

How are you, Howard?

The only thing I'm able to surmise is that I must be very wealthy, given where I live. Besides that, I really don't have the foggiest memory of who I am.

You want to go to this Gatsby lawn party? I'm sure you could wear the hell out of one of those flapper dresses.

[Filtered to Edwin Jarvis]

How you holding up, old man?

[Edwin Jarvis]

Good morning, Mr. Jarvis.

You don't really know me, but I've heard a lot about you -- How are you finding Potts Tower, so far?

If ever you can't find me, just look in the poetry section of the bookstore.

[Ben Reilly]

I'm sure you saw the Call out to the Avengers. You got a minute I can pick your brain? I know you're one of those science guys.

Sweet Christmas!

Does anyone got like a XXL shirt I can borrow?

So I've gotta be at least 18 now, right?

[Katniss Everdeen]

You must be just about finished with the ESD for the year now, right?

[ Filtered to the Mighty Avengers ]

So, hello.

They tell me I'm in charge of your team now. I haven't really met most of you. Or really any other people in like a year So I guess I should probably introduce myself.

I'm Bucky Barnes. "The Winter Soldier," currently. Some of you may have known me as Captain America. Or, you know. "The decedent." Long story.

I swear I'm usually slightly less bad at this.

Anyway.

Uh, there's a serious situation at the Brooklyn Museum involving a break in and some sort of fucked up tentacle monster so we should all go handle that.

Looks like the goddamn doors have finally elected to open. It's a good thing I live on the first floor. Still about busted my skull open trying to climb over this railing.

Anyone ever figure out what the hell was wrong?


My pet theory was that the crazy one was keeping us on lock down until the election results

It's remarkable how quickly people spring back from disaster. Just over a week and they're already forming mobs.

Sometimes I think mankind's the celestial threat to this planet.

News: This just in - Nuclear energy deemed the cleanest, greenest energy opinion. Which we're just saying right now for the first time and haven't been repeating since the invention of nuclear power.

Stay tuned for our follow up story, 'People: Remain ignorant and scared of things they don't understand -- deem things bad'.

There is something about this time of year that's always felt to me like the span of time between a wake and a burial.

RIP 2014.
