The Doorway: a panfandom game

Can anyone outside the tower print and deliver a paper to Columbia University for me? My university e-mail does not seem to be functioning in this hellscape.

Tahiri I think I met your new friend with the cards. And then spent the next hour in what looked like a dentist office waiting room.

[Jaina, May, and Natasha(616)]

So. Um.

Do any of you know anything about dresses?

[Anakin]

You're ridiculous.

Last year at this time I was sitting in SWORD medical, probably still in a healing trance, who knows. I've been here a year, and that's really weird to think about - for me anyway. But it's been a good year and I don't really know how to say most of the stuff I feel about it, but it felt worth acknowledging.

On a completely different note, why did no one tell me there was a Star Wars ap, and that it would let me do this ? Or this ? Or this ??

Anyone who gets texts from me regularly, you will have droids and lightsabers aplenty from now on - you've been warned.

Also, tomorrow there's going to be a lot of random Star Wars stuff revealed, apparently. It'll probably be weird. I'm considering a competition to take the weirdness out - like, most realistic likeness, most absurd (if you can beat the Death Star Beach Ball that I saw this summer, then seriously, there will be a prize), that sort of thing. If you know, there's any interest.

[ETA] I will have one of these, take it apart and make it even cooler.

Question. Do we want to write our own vows?

Also. I think this whole having been a year here thing is almost as weird as my birthday. Like, it's a year extra from what I would have had. An actual year, not just hitting my next birthday. I don't know - I don't really want to focus on it, but it's sort of hard to not think about if that makes any sense at all.

Rikki and I are hosting a game night and you're all invited, and bring a friend if you want - It's a low-key sort of thing. We'll order pizza and you guys can bring, like whatever you want to bring - games, or desserts, or drinks. I know there's the Toga party this weekend so let's do it next weekend?

I'm kind of in need of some wedding related advice.

Apparently it's back to the future weekend with the Tessearact. Or blast from the past. Either way, I'm making muffins. You're welcome to join me.

You know, when I said to think of something fast, a little while ago, this was nothing like what I had in mind. Not that I had anything specific in mind, or you'd have heard about it, Anakin. But this was a great job.

Well the tesseract's been busy today.

You have to make cookies.

Thanks for everyone that came to my birthday. It was. I mean. It was the best birthday I've had in a long time.

They tell me introductions are the best way to determine who is here I may already know. Colonel Jagged Fel.

Jaina

The attention to detail upon arrival is heartening. I doubt the Chiss Ascendancy could do a much more efficient job.

They don't look quite like the ones on the Internet did. But I did my best. Icing is really hard as it turns out.

I know birthdays are weird here when you realize it isn't one you'll ever get at home. I think it was weirder for me than I thought it would be. But I'm so grateful for them, and for you. And that you get this one. And I hope you get a lot more and that I do too. Because I want them all. But even if we only get this one together, you've been the best thing that's happened to me here, and I love you.

Now, you should get up, because there are pancakes, and I promise I didn't even burn them cause you're such a good teacher. And then we can do whatever you want to do all day long. And if you want to invite Jon and Jaina, or anyone else - let's do that too. Basically your wish is my command, Grumpy Cat.

We'll meet on the outdoor patio n the 13th floor around six or so. And I'll bring stuff for burgers and all that. Right now I think it's still a surprise that we're doing this, but it may be less of one by the time we get there. I'm going to try to keep it kind of a surprise though.

Any questions direct them here, otherwise hopefully we'll see you tonight.

After having watched like an hour of debates, I'm pretty much convinced that politicians will politic - regardless of galaxy.

Tickets, for the Museum of Moving Images. The actual Grumpy Cat is supposed to be there. It's like celebrity opening, it will be brilliant.

November 3?

I know it's the middle of the week but it's kind of our one year anniversary.

TEXT TO SHARON CARTER, SAM WILSON, STEVE ROGERS, LOGAN, RIKKI BARNES, JESSICA DREW, NICK FURY, NATASHA ROMANOVA (all 616), STEVE ROGERS (MCU), MINDY MCREADY ... DEADPOOL?

-- This is a group text
-- Does anyone know where I am?

(ETA) TEXT TO BRUCE BANNER (616):

-- I think I pissed off Sharon

You know contrary to what some people might believe, cake doesn't automatically make things better.

[Steve(616)]

Where are you?

[Jon]

You know, sometimes you might actually be right about Captain America.

But only sometimes.

[Mayday]

So how did you like the team?

Man fireworks never get boring.

[Bucky(616)]

So. Do you like pancakes? Because I like pancakes. And it could be like a thing. Where we have pancakes in the same place at the same time?

If you're cool with that.

[Steve(616)]

So you work through whatever it was you needed to work through but you were being super vague about? Not that I care except I do.

Also Happy Birthday. Even though I already said it.

It is so very, very weird to not have to go to classes every day, but it makes me feel like I should be doing something serious, so I got a notebook, and I've been planning out our entire lives, and then I realized I should probably include you in that process.

Do you want Thai food? I had Thai food on the plan for tonight, but the plan is flexible.

As of Tuesday, I will have been here two years. Two years in which I have lived a strangely typical existence, doing office work, education, and even dabbled in heroics. Though this world is much like home, my life here is entirely different. I wonder if this means, perhaps, this should be my new familiar.

But it is difficult to walk away from one's past. I still have felt more comfortable within the Maggia than I have with the Avengers. But somewhere along the lines, the anger that has always sustained me seems absurd. My Order exists here, but they have done me no wrong that I did not first provoke. Do I lack the heart I once did, or perhaps I have too much of one to kill under orders or seek out one who would issue those orders. Though it remains, that I am somehow changed.

Perhaps that is good, but if I am to be honest, it is a loss of identity. I do not know who I am if not the Hand of Death. Even still. I do not know how to be an American or how to exist in a sphere where delivering death is a matter of morals as opposed to nature. Though I had betrayed that before I had arrived: fearing my own death, plottig to avenge my father's death.

Are there others here handling the same loss of identity? And if I may ask, how do you process this change?
