The Doorway: a panfandom game

[Filtered to Anakin and Poe]

My friend Poe and I were wondering if we could take you up on the offer of flight lessons.

Thanks, CNN. I'm always on the lookout for justification for my more questionable habits.

[MEETRA SURIK]

I'm sure you felt it already. Looks like Carth's gone. I was too hungover to realize that's what the feeling was and maybe a little denial

Bao's newest thing is sleeping on me. Which, great, wonderful, and very cute. Except when he does it on my chest. And he forgets he's ten pounds of cat.

This may be the strangest world I've seen yet.

I haven't felt like this since the Gruvian Tovash incident which I don't speak of.

Mostly because the majority of which, I can't remember.

As much trouble as the Tesseract has caused since I arrived here, it seems to be in a good mood this festive season. It sent through a present for me, which when I opened it on Christmas Eve happened to be none other than the Normandy's resident canine, KEI-9! See what I did there?

I've been trying to dog mech-proof my apartment in the last few days, because she is fascinated by everything, and acquiring necessary supplies to be the good owner of a dog-mech. Food won't be a problem, since she's quite happy with a bottle of machine oil to keep her going, but I imagine that she'll be picky about what type before too long.

[LEGION]

Have you got the time to pop by and see KEI-9? I'm sure she'd be happy to see you.

How was your Christmas, Blue?

[SHIELD: JADE TEAM]

Who's up for a drink or two on Friday or Saturday? To celebrate the arrival of the brand new year properly. First two rounds are on me.

Apparently we're not quite done with holidays just yet. This planet sure does like them, but I hear it might have fireworks. I do like those.

Who: Meetra Surik (Open)
When: Saturday, December 25
Where: Potts Tower, 13th floor
What: Some Christmas presents are kind of...full of suck
Rating: PG-13 (Mentions of violence and death, some less then ideal Jedi thoughts, and swearing)
Status: Narrative, but can be Open

( only now she's years older and had hoped wiser. )

But the real question is, how did they get the Force to unawaken? I'm assuming there are probably new rules to everything and if their version shuts up for a while, I'm going to be upset.

[MEETRA SURIK]

Got any plans for tonight?

Who: The whole game!
When: Leading up to Christmas
Where: Under tree. Delivered with bows. Handed to a person. Whatever!
What: Christmas presents!
Rating: Who knows!

Because this game is massive, and even if every character just sent ONE package to anyone, it would end up being so many posts that it would overrun the game. So to save our friends lists from imploding, we the moderators are asking that you fill out this form and reply HERE. It'll make it easier to find (Control-F is a lovely thing!) and we won't have to abuse our scroll button. Here's how we're going to do it. You will post for one character with everything that they got for their friends/family/etc. Make sure to tag your character and all the characters that yours gave gifts to as soon as you get their information up! In recognition of the time it can take to determine IC gifts, (properly tagged) gifts can count as a piece of activity for the gifting character for the month of December. <b>Character name:</b> Name! <b>GIFTS:</b> • <b>Giftee:</b> Present. • <b>Giftee:</b> Present. • <b>Giftee:</b> Present. • <b>Giftee:</b> Present. • <b>Giftee:</b> Present.

Right. I'm not... perturbed, I'm just mildly curious about who it was that put ( these )into my refrigerator? I hope it wasn't those squirmy little elves. I don't like thinking about whether or not they have achieves the higher levels of sentient thought required to attempt humour.

The plan this month is to hide until the craze blows over. Feel like it's a good choice to make. Apparently you can order all your gifts for this gift holiday so that should be set.

Finally back at practice now everything's as healed as it's going to get.

Now all we need are some Tusken raiders running around and it'll be a real party.

[STAR WARS]

I know I'm not fun at Jedi parties, but I stumbled across this Force for Change. Thought it was worth a look at.

Fun fact; do not attempt dance routines or nonsensical songs while healing. It doesn't help. Needed a few stitches again.

Thinking about a trip. Something with nature. Do the proper Jedi thing, sit and meditate a little. Figure things out.

Once more, really not liking not having kolto around. This could go so much faster. Anyone care to feed my cat until I'm out of this bed?

Reports are in on a temporal tear behaving similarly to a black hole just west of Virginia, Beach VA.

This feels like the sort of mission we should be on, if not the Avengers.

[Filtered to MCU SHIELD]

Are we watching this situation out of Virginia?

Today has become one of those -- you know, controversial days. Remembering veterans, remembering those that fought and died - that's important. But I don't think, in 2015 we should overlook the imperial and colonial implications of war, and the crimes against humanity committed by even the winning sides.

So we're right to be conflicted. But wars have always had a very, very human face. And as much as today is about peace, ending war, it's also got to be about the individuals who fought because it was right, because they were called upon to do so, and because it was their duty. Looking back, gaining perspective, it's not always kind to those soldiers, but today, let's do a little, give a little, and support a little a community of men and women that need it and who are all too often forgotten, no matter their sacrifice.

With that in mind, today I've got a few things lined up with the NYCVA. They're be a few talks, and you're all invited, as well as some workshops out at the Legion in Brooklyn with some of the local vets.

Tonight though, I'm going to be back at Sam's Bar, holding a get together for refugees, particularly those who've been in wars or conflicts that aren't known to this universe. It'll be a place to talk, to share experiences and to to remember the people who were important to you.

[Warning: Some conversation about actual wars and the implications of colonialism and colonial conflicts in the comments]

Fiver seems to have not destroyed the apartment while we're away, so that's good. He does seem to have completely rebuilt all of my Lego collections into new designs. I guess that means the personality modifications are working...

[Filter: Wedding Attendees]

We'll be getting all those fancy thank you cards out to everyone, but in the meantime Rikki and I would like to thank all of you for attending our wedding and for your gifts and just for celebrating with us. We're grateful to everyone that was able to be there.

[Filter: Jaina]

Hey you. I want my BB-8 back.

[Filter: Rikki]

So about those thank-you notes... I'm thinking if we rent movies this weekend, we could probably just write thank you's and watch films and take care of it in a couple of nights?

Also? I may have told you this, but in case I forgot with the whole not being able to talk and all, you're beautiful.

[Filter: Jedi & Force users]

The idea of an Order here has been discussed before and it is a topic that seems to hold a positive association for some, while a very negative association for others. In my time the Jedi Order was built around teaching and in passing on what had been learned and I still believe that this growth journey is one of the most important we undertake as Jedi. What we learn becomes what we use to serve the galaxy, but where we serve will be as varied as the skills we have, and we can serve with or without an Order behind us.

With that thought in mind, I make an offer. And it is not an offer intended to replace any of us who have masters or apprentices here that we work with, but rather as a supplement and an opportunity to learn another skill or another perspective and additionally to get to know each other a bit better perhaps. Saturday morning I will be downstairs in the gym and I welcome anyone who wishes to join me.

This world has a lot of holidays. Feel like I just got used to the one, now there's apparently a new one around the corner? As far as I can guess, it's mostly around gifts. Gifts aren't something I'm used to so just let me know what you want.

Don't know about the tree thing though. Feels like asking for trouble, even if Bao only has three legs.

Also very quiet. Seems to be a theme today.

[Jade Team(Jade, Kincaid, Skipper, Surik) and Black Team (Fury(616), Romanova, Carter(616), Queen, Walker)]

Everyone's very surprised there are explosions at Stark Expo.

Cross Technologies seemed to have taken their display a little too serious. Looks like powered suits, but they're causing a ton of damage. And there's a tank. So that'll be fun.

Focus on containment and protection of civilians. If we can bring these guys in all the better.

I'll be running back up should you guys need support. But location and travel instructions have been forwarded.
