I am Oscar François de Jarjayes, and I have been told the year is 2013. That is a long time away from 1789.

I have also been told I have a room prepared for me, but the doctor is keeping me quarantined while I begin treatment for consumption. He said I should be safe for other people to be around in a week or so. The hardest thing will be the boredom. The doctor warned me about something called googling, but he did not explain what that is.

I have three pressing questions, the most important of which I will ask last.

Are there any tailors or seamstresses here? The doctor's assistant took my uniform to be cleaned and gave me something called scrubs. I hope they are not considered the height of fashion.

Is there anywhere I might, when I am allowed out again, purchase a violin?

But, most importantly, I must know: did the people of Paris succeed in taking the Bastille?

There, now: I've just suffered my first truly modern ailment. Jetlag.

Some idiot has dug up Paris with a garden trowel and tried to plant businesses like so many petunias, but parts of it are very much the same, and I'll admit the smell is drastically improved. Grantaire, however, commands as little respect as he always did. The feminine reaction to an offer of a bottle of wine and an evening of excellent company is much the same as it always has been, and a glorious death adds no salt to that meat.

All in all, a thoroughly pleasant trip home. I miss her already.

This figure you call the Mandarin has fascinating things to say about human nature and human history. Today, I have been reading all about your massacres at Wounded Knee and My Lai. Truly, I am beginning to believe humanity does not need a villain to spur it toward its end; you are the architects of your own destruction.

RATHER LARGE Delivery for Mr. & Mrs. Blakeney )

I have it on a hypothesis that this time, this contraption will actually succeed. If not, no one sees this and I take to drink while the morning birds are still rising from their slumber.

If you can see this, my name is Henry Sturges. I am taken to understand that a certain Mr. Gügle (dreadful name) already knows everything about each one of us and is liberal with information when asked, so I don't see that there's any harm with being forthright. I immigrated to the United States in the 1830s, my favorite colour is green, and my favourite hobby is murdering the vicious undead where they stand. I was told that there are many of the undead persuasion here in Potts Tower, but cautioned that most have a conscience and do not harm others. We shall see. If hunting vampires is your favourite hobby as well, we should talk.

As an aside, I am a vampire myself. I trust that this will not be a problem, and if it is, kindly get out of my way and cry yourself to sleep for I have work to do.

I am from the year 1865. I realize that this is quite unlikely given the human lifespan, but I did have plans for the man: does anyone know a Mr. Abraham Lincoln? Tall, gangly, prone to melancholy? Oh right - he was President for a spell as well. Thank you in advance.

And I'd heard good things about the fashion in America.

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
