Hey, so, does anyone know if we'll remember being here when we go back? I know that people didn't when it was the tesseract doing it all by itself but since this is a little more controlled and voluntary and all that, will that change? Will we remember? Because I want to. There's some stuff that's going to happen that I want not to happen.

You know, I've been kind of sticking my head in the sand about all this stuff that's been going on lately. I've seen all the stuff on the news and the internet, people picking a side, saying this is right or that is right and I can't do it. I guess it's because I don't believe in heroes anymore. I'm not sure I believe in villains either.

They said my Dad, Mohan Ghale, was a hero. A freedom fighter trying to liberate Kyrat from the usurper who stole the throne. They called me the Son of Mohan as though it was a royal title. And yeah, I guess my Dad was a hero. But he was also an angry, violent, sexist man who murdered a two year old baby and probably would have murdered my Mom, his wife, if he'd been given the chance.

Pagan Min was a violent, despotic lunatic who ruled Kyrat with an iron hand, keeping everyone who opposed him subjugated or leaving them to the not-so-tender mercies of Yuma Lau or De Pleur. But he also loved my Mom. Deeply. Enough that he was willing to make peace for her and make me his heir. He loved Lakshmana, his daughter, my half-sister. And I'm pretty sure that he loved and cared about me, the son of his enemy, both back then and when I arrived back in the country.

Since I got here, I found out that Sabal turns Kyrat into a regressive religious state and turns Bhadra into a pale, hollow shell of the girl she was. But if I'd backed Amita instead, she'd have turned the country into a drug state and most likely murdered Bhadra.

So what is 'right'? And what is 'wrong'? I'm not sure I know anymore. I know accountability isn't a bad thing. My life was rapidly running off the rails until I decided to start being accountable for my actions, when I decided that I had to think about more than just me and what I wanted. Then I think I lost my way in Kyrat.

I don't know. I'm just rambling, I guess. Can't figure out what's going on in the world until I can figure out what's going on in my own head.

Wow, thanks tesseract. But I just put my Mom's ashes next to Lakshama's before I got here, like she wanted. I didn't actually need them back.

I've had these force powers a lot longer than last year. Maybe they're stickin' around this time.

This place is awesome!

I just Force summoned the remote control.

It had fallen to the floor and I didn't want to get up because I was seriously getting my lazy on so I reached out and pretended to Force summon it like Luke does with his lightsaber in that cave on Hoth and it went smack into my hand.

Okay, it went smack into my face and I have a blood nose and possibly a black eye but I totally Force summoned that sucker.

So, if I wanted to go to college, what would I have to do? I don't exactly have my high school diploma available here and let's face it, I wasn't the world's best student back then anyway. But it's not like being king of Kyrat is going to be a valid career choice anymore so I figured I'd look around at my options.

You know, it makes me wonder what kind of shit my boss has seen that his only reaction to me talking like cave!Ajay yesterday was to sigh heavily and point to the storeroom and tell me not to come out until I could use verbs properly. (And no, he didn't make me stay in the storeroom overnight, though he did offer if I didn't think I could get back to the tower in one piece.)

It's been kind of fun getting around the city the last few days. Because apparently I still have to go to my job and work. I swear, Ralph would open the bodega even if the zombie apocalypse had arrived.

Wait, I probably shouldn't say stuff like that, should I? I might give the tesseract ideas.

So how come, if I'm in space with superheroes, I didn't get superpowers?

Aren't there like cosmic rays or something to help a guy out?

I picked a good day to start my new job. I nearly drowned getting here. After everything I've been through, drowning on the way to a job in a bodega would be a pretty sucky way to go. Don't know how long I'll stay in this job but hey, it's money and a reason to get up every day until I figure out what I want to do with myself.

Woohoo! That was fun! Kind of like being back in Kyrat but without the gut-wrenching terror of people trying to kill me and animals trying to eat me. All the adrenaline, none of the bleeding. Awesome.

I knew I should have paid more attention in careers counseling at high school. So what kind of job do you think would be right for a former street punk turned leader (sort of... maybe figurehead is a better word) of revolutionary freedom fighters turned unofficial king of a foreign country? I'm good with all kinds of guns, running, climbing sheer cliff faces, hunting and making bad life choices.

Maybe I should go to college? Mom was always disappointed that I didn't do that.

I hope everyone else is as excited as I am! We're less than an hour out from polls starting to close for SUPER TUESDAY!

For those of you who aren't from around here, Super Tuesday is practically the most important day in the Democratic and Republican Primaries where 12 states (and America Samoa) are voting on who they want. Over half the necessary delegates for the Republican candidate and over a third for the Democratic race are up for grabs!

So I'm having a watch party in Room 210. Anyone who wants to can come. I've got recipes from every state voting, red and blue cupcakes, and the Ruth Bader Gingsburg coloring book. Come early and fill out your predictions! Just like the Oscars, only with less Joe Biden. Unless we're lucky!!

So, people of the network, I only arrived recently and apparently I'm from this video game called Far Cry 4. What's the general consensus on actually playing the game for myself? Good idea or mother of god, whatever you do, don't do that? Or somewhere in between?

Who: Ajay Ghale (though your character is welcome to join him if you like)
When: Feb 2, evening
Where: Sam's Bar, Potts Tower
What: Ajay's finally had some time for introspection and he has quite a lot to introspect about.
Rating:

Six days was also enough time to climb down from the metaphorical rafters. )

Wow. New York. I wasn't expecting that.

You know, this is going to sound like a strange question but this is real, right? I mean, two guys named Yogi and Reggie aren't hanging around somewhere, are they? I know it couldn't be Yuma Lau because she's dead but frigging Yogi and Reggie, man...

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
