The Doorway: a panfandom game

Okay, so, there's an infinite number of possibilities for realities/worlds/dimensions/whatchamacallits, right? That's the running theory. Meaning ~out there~ is a world where Wolverine and Hawkguy (That's the name now, right? Right, Hawkguy? Hawkguy. Why did this not occur to us sooner? HAWKGUY.) have 2.5 kids and live in a bungalow out on the Island.

What's the point? The point is that we could all be parents. All of us. I mean, some of you kinda already are, but can we just consider this and all the implications?

And this isn't anything against the kids who are here. Heck, from what I've seen, you're all awesome. I just started tripping down this line of thought while my class was taking a quiz, aaaaand here we are.

Hey everyone,

I think most of the advisors of the ESD have tried to check in with their students, but if you still have any questions or want to discuss your curriculum, please let me or your advisor know.

On the positive side, Victor Mancha approached me with a pretty great idea. Prom! I know a lot of people here never got to experience prom before, so this will be open to all ages. We'll be sponsoring the event, and it'll take place on May 18th. If anyone's new to the idea, prom is a traditional high school ritual where everyone dresses up for a formal dance. Victor also volunteered to DJ the event. Here's the wiki for prom if you want the background on it. I'll send out reminders again closer to the date! It'll be on the 13th floor and start around 7. Officially it will end by 11, but if people want to keep dancing a little later, I'm not going to stop them. Food and (non-alcoholic) beverages will be provided.

Hope to see you all there. Wear comfortable dancing shoes!

So my magical duel partner sort of disappeared. Well no really duel, more like practice. And I mean Mister Xavier is still here but I mean it's not really exactly the same. Sure no one else uses Egyptian words of power or... any Egyptian magic outside me and Bast, but it was still pretty neat. Plus Molly was way better at invisibility than me or Carter so there's that.

Also I think I need to find a place to buy wax.

Just because there's no House of Life here doesn't mean there couldn't be one like... founded or something, right? There's more than enough chaos here, even if it's not Apophis. The House of Life did way more than that.

So, this whole fighting crime thing. I think that there are a few other kids like us that could probably be pretty good at it, given where they're from and all.

I mean we can't be the only ones that feel like we're not being used at all, right?

So, earlier today I made a reference to Ren & Stimpy, and my class just stared at me. Vacant looks, squinty eyes, the whole nine yards. And for one loooooong second, I was wondering if maybe there wasn't a Ren & Stimpy Show in this world.

Nope. It's just me becoming That Guy Who Faceplants into the Pop Culture Generational Divide. Oh god, it's all downhill from here, isn't it? This is the place where the Cookie Crisp mascot has always been a wolf. This is the place where my students think the craziest thing about me is that I remember a time when there wasn't an Elmo.

Jaina:

What's your evening looking like?

Don't feel bad if you got your ass handed to you by a twelve year old. Not even if you're a fucking JEDI or you have SPIDER-SENSE.

*INSERT EVIL LAUGHTER HERE*

Kidding, you should totally feel bad. Completely and utterly ashamed. I even had the time and energy to go out and smack around some bullies yesterday.

This is how embarrassed you should be.

Well, it's taken a few weeks, but I have the Pie Hole II ready to open it's doors for a soft opening.

What does that mean? Well, essentially, we're just testing out the recipes and we don't have everything printed and all the uniforms and the design done. We're mostly looking for feedback from the public about our pies and everything. We serve both savory and traditional dessert pies, as well as coffee. Eventually we'll have espresso and all of that, but we're simple for the moment.

( Cut not filtered )

That's what the shop looks like now.

I'd love if everyone came by on Monday for our opening!

FILTERED TO PETER PARKER (616), JOHN SHEPARD, JESSICA DREW, MINDY MACREADY:

Shepard put his golden tongue to work and got us in and a little info. Seems the tracked guy did talk to the cops, probably about an hour or two before he went off the radar.

We've got a few leads push us in a new direction, but it wouldn't be much of a stretch to think he got silenced by someone who didn't want him talking. Spooked by someone pointing fingers. They don't have a body and

I didn't get to punch anyone, but we got an address for the guy's place. So there's that.

Someone who's a thinker point me in the next direction. Are we going to have to ask Logan to sniff out a body?

FILTERED TO CAROL DANVERS, JESSICA DREW & MINDY MACREADY:

So, anyone got weekend plans? 'Cause I'm pretty sure we not only completely lost the trail on the guy we got a tracer on... we lost the guy. All in favor of upgrading this from a series of WTF encounters to a conspiracy?

I'm just about out of work, so I'm gonna nose around some more -- see if there's anything we missed, try not to get in the way of the boys in blue who're probably gonna also be digging, have a riveting Friday night out on town. The usual.

All right, so I'm looking at classes at NYU and now I remember why Mom and I had those epic battles about school. I wanted to go to NYU forever but she didn't want me that far away, blah blah blah, she told me no, I was a little punk to her and she told me to go to my room. ...now in the retelling of it I guess it's not that epic, at least not in comparison to our battle with the Nazi bee guy. HEY RUNAWAYS DO YOU REMEMBER THE NAZI BEE GUY? Freaky shit. ANYWAY, I'm having the problem where I can't decide what classes I want to take, mostly because I have no idea what to do with myself.

See, ever since I can remember, I wanted to be an Avenger. This was before I knew I had any powers. I "borrowed" a police scanner and souped it up, I used to stalk the neighborhoods looking for crime, and I probably would've ended up like that kid in Kickass if my life hadn't exploded like it had.

Soooo I guess this is a question to you superheroes out there: how'd you wind up where you are now? I mean, I know the origin stories, hopefully not in that creepy/stalking way, but I got the basic gist down. No villains

I'm looking at the computer science program, but I'm pretty sure I could test out of half of the classes. I've got stuff to learn, yeah, but I think of "Intro to Computers" and I want to cry. I mean, I'm working for TONY STARK and PEPPER POTTS right now. The espresso machine is more complicated than some people's OS.

FILTERED TO CAROL DANVERS:

I forgot how hard it is to get all the pieces I need to make tracers without having my own lab supply. Ugh, downgrades. ANYWAY. Hey. Hi. I got tracers, you got an omni-tool that need to be attuned to the signal. Whaddaya say we blow this joint this evening? You can watch me do techie things under the moonlight...

Or, well, we can just patrol. As we do.

FILTERED TO MINDY MACREADY:

I might be back late tonight, so don't hold out waiting for me to get back so you can threaten me into ordering pizza. I know your tactics, Mindy. I see right through you.

My birthday is only six days away.

Has anyone figured out how birthday's really work here? Cause I mean it was a different time of year when I left. But I guess it still counts, right? I would really like to finally be 14. Does it mean I'm older than I'm supposed to be back home?

Ugh this makes my head hurt. Whatever, I'm going to be 14 no matter what... weird other things might say.

Folks interested in the survival course;

Got the use of a gym [address] first weekend of every month, Sat and Sun, from 2-5. Don't gotta come to each one but gonna be mixing it up and doing something different each day. After the first weekend's over, every third weekend of the month'll be going out on the trails and in the woods outside of the city. Gonna be renting Slim's pink van those days 'cause he was right - damn dirt cheap. Y'all are lucky I don't just drop you in the wo You wanna go out in the woods, you gotta go to one of the gym classes.

Things you gotta bring each time:
Backpack

(Put this shit in it)
Flashlight
Rope (20-50ft)
Gloves
Pocket knife
Emergency Blanket
Whistle
Empty canteen or flask

I'll give you anything else you need, and I'll be showing you how to get food with just what's above. Too much crap to be hauling around if you ask me but they

It's all free, but if you wanna make me happy, I prefer red racer beer and and Cohiba cigars.

YO, anybody else got no hot water? I don't want to go to school greasy-headed tomorrow, but cold showers are for repressed perverts and people that enjoy freezing their ass off. Fuck that noise.

Retreat gave me a few ideas to run a survival camp for anybody interested. Weekend or two a month, teach you what to do if you're stuck out in the woods or rough terrain. How to hunt, fish, build shelter, survive without your goddamn phones for ten minutes, that sorta thing. Already been told I can't just throw you in the woods and wish you luck

Get enough interest and I could use a hand or two to help set it up. You gotta be experienced, though. None of this sat-in-a-cushy-house-all-your-damn-life, you're the people that I wanna shove in front of a few dinosaurs oughta benefit from the class instead.

So Ty Lee and I were thinking. This whole valentine's thing is kind of screwy, especially with a lot of us being separated from the people we care about. Also grown ups doing grown up stuff.

Which means we decided that Thursday night we're going to have a Valentine's party in our apartment. Mostly for all us younger people who have gone and gotten stuck here but really anyone's invited. Ty Lee's gone a little overboard with the decorations but we will have lots of snacks and movies and board games and stuff. Also lots of ice cream. I think I might just buy a mini fridge just for ice cream cause no one can stop me.

Ice cream baaaaaaar!

Anyway like I said anyone's invited, but keep in mind that we're keeping it kid friendly. Drugs, booze, or violence and I get to bouncer you out. And as cool as it'd be to stretch my magical muscles, seriously no.

But ice cream baaaaar! Everyone loves one of those. Unless you hate happiness. Or are lactose intolerant and if so I can buy some sorbet.

Who: Peter Parker / Spider-Man (616) & Mindy Macready / Hit-Girl
When: Backdated to the morning of February 2nd, 2013
Where: Room 1105
What: Post-getting smacked around by a sign, Peter works on covering his bruises with make-up and makes Mindy breakfast. She mostly just antagonizes him in exchange.
Rating: R for swearing, only. As much as Peter tries to keep it PG, Mindy has a mouth. :P

( He sighed. Superhero problems. Aaaas always. )

woah this thing is boss

they told me that someone would be by to help me use this thing a little better but i was bored so hey

i'm alex summers

am i supposed to fill out a questionnaire somewhere because i'm not great at introductions

not a whole lot to say about me in the first place

I fell in fully clothed and the agent that debriefed me gave me a cup of coffee, so I'm having a great trip so far.

I apparently got moved in with a neat-freak, too. I'll get back to everyone tomorrow if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but at least it beats having roommate that pees in the kitchen sink.

Oh, Olivia Dunham, since this is an introduction and all. Guess I can't throw "Agent" in front of that here - gonna work on that.

Several of us more technologically inclined have been working on a sort of unofficial side project regarding arrivals and departures and correllations to popularity of our sources or presence of other members of our groups--it's highly multivariate, And while it's easy enough to google practically any one of us and know everything from our birthdays to our deep dark secrets and futures, it seems people who are Avengers or Xmen or things like that are a bit harder to pull publicly available information on.

So is anyone a big fan of Marvel comics who'd be interested in joining up and helping fill in the gaps?
