The Doorway: a panfandom game

I'm never drinking with you again, Ash. And I thought my implant headaches were bad.

St. Patrick's Day is over! Nurse your hangovers, pack away your green mardi-gras beads and Annie get yer gun. (Not.. actually you, Annie. It's a musical.)

ANYWAY, know what time it is?

DARCY'S FOURTH ANNUAL POTTS/STARK NERF WAR

What that means:

Last Man Standing. Spans over BOTH towers, for people who are over in Stark's tower for work and whatnot. Biology/Chemistry type labs are OFF LIMITS. You won't like Bruce when he's angry.

Everyone is going to get a nerf gun & a tag attached to their door on the morning of Friday, March 22nd. IT WILL LAST UNTIL THERE IS ONE PERSON LEFT. Usually takes about 48 hours.

IF YOU WISH TO PARTICIPATE, attach the tag to your persons whenever you are in the tower, IT HAS TO BE VISIBLE.

If you don't want to join in, don't wear a tag and surrender your gun to me.

NO SHOOTING UNTAGGED PEOPLE. Likewise, no hiding your tag. If you want to play, be fair about it.

ANYWAY. If you shoot someone with a tag fairly, you get their tag and so on and so forth. If they have 5 tags from people they killed, you get all of them. Winner is whoever has the most tags in the end FROM FAIR KILLS. Seriously, don't be a cheating douchebag.

OH AND because this needs to be said; No modding your guns. At all. (I'm looking at you, Mass Effect people.) Extra ammo is your responsibility - each gun comes with 6. Take the ammo from your "kills".

NO POWERS. Sorry about this one, but if you've GOT powers, at least TRY not to use them. Like no Force, or telepathically convincing someone to come out, or telekentically blocking doorways, that sort of thing. You should know what's right and wrong. This includes NO DRONES OR MECHANICAL HELP YOU BUILD.

Some tips;

Watch out for the spies & shooter people (No joke, they are scary MOFOs and usually win. Don't be sore about it, most of them save lives etc etc).

Don't shoot people who are carrying coffee. OW.

JUST HAVE FUN.

QUESTIONS, ETC give 'em to me.

Fruity human drinks will be the end of me.

FILTERED TO GARRUS:

Sooo. Apparently this happened?

I feel like this is a conversation I should have remembered.

FILTERED TO NORMANDY CREW + SPACE PEOPLE & CAROL DANVERS:

Mr. Pike got me feeling nostalgic, and it's Friday. We're going out tonight, so put on your dancing shoes.


Shepard, it's up to you if you want me to invite Carol. I need a few drinks before I'm up for you glaring at me.

In my world a werewolf is a werewolf and ain’t nothing that can change that. There’s no cure or magic pill to stop the transformation every month. There’s also no synthetic blood for vampires. So I was thinking that maybe someone from another world might be able to help me. Or at least give me a few new ideas to try. Maybe. If not that’s okay. Probably a silly idea anyway.

FILTERED TO NORMANDY CREW + SPACE FRIENDS:

Fruit! Think of all the fruit!


Garrus would probably love the support, Normandy Crew, since I'm dragging him along.

Introducing: SuperSud's Spring Lineup!

Limited Edition:

Garrus Vakarian: Neroli, honeydew melons, white amber, magnolia, sun-scorched wood and green musk. The musk cuts a masculine note admist lighter, clean fruits.
Setsuna Meioh: Mysterious, beautiful, and patient. Cinnamon against the background glow of amber and cardamom, pimento berry and creamy benzoin create a smoky, warm incense smell.
Claire Bennet: Deceptively girly with an edge that appears in the drydown. Sun-warmed daisies and pink musk against the base notes of caramel, fresh-cut grass, and metallic copper.
Diana Prince: Calming herbal lavender made powerful by the undercut of vertiver and amber. A frothy, diaphanous vanilla laces through a sharp lime. Unique, unisex, and beautiful.
Raven Darkholme: This one's a morpher, and is composed of ingredients that smell different depending upon your personal chemistry. Cotton candy goes straight to winter berries and black musk. Jasmine and orange peel in the background keep this perfume anything but traditional, but always lovely.
Rose Tyler: A blast of rain-tinted ozone, lime meringue, and freesia makes this perfume light, breezy, and clean - perfect for the office (or for going on space adventures and not making the doctor sneeze!). Adventurous and uncomplicated.
Sam Merlotte: Cozy, warm, and definitely sexy (sorry Sam, but everyone knows it's true!). This fragrance mixes ginger and caramel in a gourmand vein without ever getting too sweet. Smooth benzoin and single malt whiskey notes add depth, while brown musk makes the scent feeling... well, just a little bit furry.

Special Spring Scents: inspired by a comment made by Ellen Ripley. Thank you! This scents are available as perfume oils or as room sprays!

Flowers in Space This was a bit of an experiment - pure ozone, cold, clinical mint, and stray hints of a floating bouquet. Daisies, Queen Anne's Lace, and fresh stems hover at the edge of the scent. A unique take on smelling of flowers.
Flowers on the Battlefield: Lay down your wreath, and honor your heroes: Stately rose, white orchid, calla lily, rainfall, and cold stone. Serene and solemn.
Flowers in the Lab What happens if you deliver flowers to the lab geeks? Spritely, spicy carnations, a zap of electricity, and a light undercurrent of mint, smoke, and cologne of uncertain origin. Playful and silly!
Screw Flowers; They Suck For those of us who were spurned, get allergies, or otherwise loathe flowers: A forgotten bouquet of love-lies-bleeding (a spiky, plush flower known for its tendency to injure), despondent pear, and a box of discount Valentines Day Chocolates.

Also! The business has really taken off, and I'm so grateful to everyone who's purchased and enjoyed my products. It wouldn't have been possible without you, and without taking advantage of the strangely obsessive nature of NYC's bustling fandom.

That said, I would love to hire anyone interested in the following roles:

Packing/Shipping/Delivery: This person would ideally be able to lift up to 40 lbs easily and travel the city to deliver my products to participating stores. He/she would also need to manage the shipment of products from the web, and make sure that the orders are filled, packed, and picked up by the post office.

Shop Clerk: This person would need to be friendly, like meeting new people, and willing to help sell products in the store! I track sales but we don't do commission - just end of the month bonuses. All I need is enthusiasm and a willingness to learn, though an interest in bath and body products wouldn't hurt.

Where can a vampire get blood around here? Preferably in a bag.

Yes, I'm bothering you all with my dietary requirements. Deal with it. Please

And what the fuck happened to my Passions? I need to know what happened Valerie and Jonathan and Beth. EVERYONE!

Moody has so kindly gotten us a cat. A charming looking fellow. However, we haven't managed to agree on a name that fits him. I might not have picked that cat but it's as much as his. I refuse to name him Vigilance, Paranoia [..] which I hadn't meant seriously, or You, over there or anything similar to that. Moody has agreed to pick a sensible name from any suggestions provided. Which was a victory in it If you have anything that doesn't have to do with a certain state of being, I'd appreciate it.

FILTERED TO MORDIN SOLUS:

I need your help on human anatomy, Mordin. I'm making a cybernetic leg for a very sweet young man and I need your expertise on how to make it move like an actual leg.

FILTERED TO BUCKY BARNES (both, since she doesn't know which):

Hello! I.. um, wasn't sure which of you I should talk to, but I was pointed in the direction of Bucky Barnes. Ms. Romanova told me that you have an artificial limb with advanced features this world hasn't quite created yet.

I was um wondering if I could look at it? I'm making a cybernetic limb for a young man here and it would be incredibly helpful if I had something like that to reference first.

Thank you! I'd be happy to buy you dinner or lunch or coffee or a smoothie! :)

FILTERED TO THE NORMANDY CREW & OTHER ADOPTED SPACE PEOPLE:

If anyone wants leftover pizza, you're welcome to take it off Tali and I. It's most of a pie. Apparently, ham, pineapple, and cheese are better off separate.

Taking a leaf out of Luke's book here since we have a whole lot of new folks around here than the last time I said anything about the bar.

I'm Sam Merlotte, and I run the bar on the ground floor, Sam's. Yeah, I know, not the most creative name. Get your comments out of the way now. We have a full kitchen, a full bar, a couple dozen beers on tap (and a good selection from local breweries, if that's your thing), and I may or may not have some mead in the back. We've got one main room with the bar and most of the seating, and another that has the pool tables, dart boards, most of the televisions. Then I've got two smaller rooms that you can reserved (for the cost of food, drinks and gratuity; you're not going to find a better deal in all of NYC than this) for gatherings. See me if you're interested. We run trivia on Wednesday nights, and Fridays are our open mic nights if there's any interest. Sign up sheets for both can be found at the bar.

We've taken some hits as my employees keep leaving, so we're in need of some help. Lack of experience isn't going to be a deal-breaker for me. I'm willing to train the right people. Just come in with a positive attitude and a willingness to learn.

-Bouncer/security - 18+ under NY law. Must be able to physically remove people from the premises if necessary, because I don't want to have to get Thor every time I need that done.
-Bartenders - 18+
-Waiters/Waitresses - 18+
-Cooks/food prep - 17+

If you're interested, drop me a note here and we'll set up a time to talk.

Did I mention all new arrivals get one free drink on the house? Thought I was forgetting something. 21 and up for alcohol (and we will ask for ID, and don't try to fool us with fakes), but anyone is welcome in the restaurant. If I catch you breaking my rules about the 21 and up thing, you won't be welcome back. I'm not risking my alcohol license.

Personal Ledger of Mordin Solus
Have completed second session of Salsa dancing course. Referred to as instructional assistant now. Rewarding. Considering Swing next, high energy movements has appeal.

Also seeking vampires. Have successfully created artificial blood supply, would like feedback on sustenance capability.

Would also like to make a request: Have been reading modern literature by author JK Rowling. Have interest in learning potions. Would like to discuss exchange of knowledge with resident experts.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good sports masseuse? I tore my glenoid labrum, and need massage therapy to resolve the injury.

Normally prefer to send electronic mail to Normandy Crew to assist with romantic advice. Would be willing to provide service to anyone in Potts Tower if need arises. Have studied work of Abigail Van Buren extensively. Can co-opt idea and generate 'Dear Mordin' column.

If in need of advice, submit email to mordin.solus@pottstower.com. Cleverly named signatures appreciated. Will select and respond to interesting quandaries on Thursday. Anonymity will be respected.

The Potts Tower Youth Center will be open as usual on Valentine's Day. Some of our regular staff will be off doing lovey-dovey stuff, but yours truly will be around to hold down the fort. There may even be cupcakes.

Question: have you guys ever had chocolate? Or any candy?

I've made six prototype versions of my snow removal device, if anyone wants to sign up to test it for me. I have an electronic form to fill out for questions and requirements on how often it needs to be used. It's perfect for people who walk around the city a lot or are going to be outside a fair amount, and I'd love some feedback and testing!

FILTERED TO NORMANDY CREW + SPACE PEOPLE/FRIENDS:

Garrus and I are going to Disney World on Tuesday! As um, a belated honeymoon? Vacation? Escape from snow? Anyway, we'll be back on Sunday, so expect us to be quiet for a week or so. (You're welcome, Shepard)

We don't have any pets or anything to take care of while we're gone so this is just a "if we're missing, that's why" information-type post.


Requests for souvenirs now or forever hold your peace!

[OOC: Anyone can be on the filter if Tali's talked to the character/knows them/they're from space/future, that's fine with me!]

[Filtered to Stark Industries Executives]

Have had minor progress on universal blood type project. Limitations of technology unfortunate, but more advanced than expected for Earth 2013.

Creates moral quandry: Introduce medical breakthroughs from Sur'Kesh and alter Earth future? What is future? Perhaps meant to make changes. Problematic. Lack of firm resource on future events. Multiple timeline residents already here. Which is correct? Which is alternate?

Am going on tangent. Would like to report current success. Have discovered technique to create sustainable blood. Tests to transport oxygen successful. Also has drawback. Too thick to properly flow through human veins. Am trying to keep explanation in simple terms. Hopefully working.

Coworker suggests alternative. Suitable diet for refugees suffering from vampirism. Suggests calling discovery "Blud." Would offer suggestion that coworker horribly uncreative with names, but interesting idea for practical use.

[End Filter]

Have finally decided. Potts Tower sleeping arrangement vastly superior to sleeping arrangement on Normandy. Prefer soft pillow, cinnamon candle, reading tablet.

Since I am in the business of making pies-that is, when I do have a business, pies is it-I've been hard at work making things, since I mostly don't know what to do with my time until I can have my own restaurant or Chuck comes or I go home or some combination.

That was long winded. Sorry.

Anyway, I've been thinking of Chuck, so I made some cup pies. I figure, what better way to get people to think of ordering from me than letting them sample the goods. So to speak. So I've made enough for pretty much anyone who'd like to to claim a cup pie and see if they don't get a bit hooked.

( Cut not filtered )

Aren't they delightful looking? They remind me of her...

Anyway, there is strawberry, peach and blackberry. Name your flavor and tell me your room and one will be yours. It'd be nice if you tell me what you think.

Hoping to get a base going so I can open The Pie Hole.
