The Doorway: a panfandom game

(ooc: pretend this was posted earlier today, in the morning)

Well, my Christmas tree took over my apartment. Surprisingly enough, it hasn't tried to eat me yet. But it's also not going away.

Looks like you were right, Parker-- this place isn't so different from Haven after all.

So we have two dates. I'll plan the first, and you may plan the second, as per the order of the auctions. When might you be free for a date?

Filtered: Alana Bloom

One night, you're all mine. Lets make the most of it.

That date auction had some memorable moments. 1.2 million, Buffy. Congrats. And kick his ass if he needs it.

Humans are quite the most inventive creatures. Yesterday I found myself caught up in a several-hours-long marathon of how it's made. Did you know that there are people who build model trains that are scaled for use in gardens? They were, I might say, rather charming.

[Private to Dr. Alana Bloom]

Hey, could I talk to you sometime soon?

Who's up for watching me show with me around a bottle of Jack?

It's a struggle being back after such a great vacation. I should take more time off than I do.

FILTERED TO RENEE MONTOYA:

I've given our discussion some thought, and I'm in. It's a breach of my ethics and could get me disbarred, but I can't be blind anymore. I have to help.

As a reminder, I am currently out of town so the Refugee Survivors Group will not be meeting this evening. We'll pick up next week at 7pm.

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday.

FILTERED TO BEVERLY KATZ:

What kind of plans do you have for Christmas? Think this is the kind of thing I should make actual plans for.

The Refugee Support meetings will be cancelled for the next two weeks, returning on December 8th. I hope you all enjoy your holiday.

FILTERED TO SELF:

I don't know if I have the stomach for this anymore. My body may not be broken here, but I have the memories of it. I can still recall the pain, and then the lack of pain. I don't think I will be able to walk ag Even so, the sting of betrayal, of being used is worse.

How long did I know Hannibal? How long did I consider him one of my closest friends? A mentor? A lover I just don't know if I can do any of it anymore.

So in about a week I'll have been here two years. And last year it was weird, but I swear to God. This year's I think it's become the more normal kind of weird. Anyone else get that or should this still be weird?

[Filtered to Alana Bloom]

Hi, we've not really met and I'd like to change that. I'm Renee Montoya.

[Filtered to Ashley Williams]

So, we all know my cooking skill, I'd be just as well going someplace like the Tower thing. But were you wanting to do anything for Thanksgiving?

DEAN

So Wesley asked me the other day if you were interested in patrolling-- which is basically our version of hunting in the city-- with the other refugees who deal with the supernatural. I used to be a part of it, but hunting is kind of a conflict of interest for me now. Legally speaking.

ALANA BLOOM

I'm sorry I didn't make it in this morning. I think... I don't know exactly what I need, but I'm pretty sure therapy isn't it.

ALANA BLOOM

I think I might need some private sessions with you, if you have any availability. There are so many things going on-- externally and internally-- that I don't think I can sort them all out on my own. And turning to my usual people for support doesn't seem to be working this time.

FILTERED TO BEVERLY KATZ:

The network says it's normal, but I don't see how it is. I got new memories last night.

I need to see you.

[Alana Bloom]

Hi.

Full disclosure. I'm very drunk.

Well, actually, not very drunk. I'm not tequila shots drunk. I

I've just had like a lot of... mead.

so the back of my moth tastes a little but like beeswax. I don't know if Bruce liked it or not or if he was just being nice.

But this week was really for the bees.

It is bees? For the bees? Birds?

How are you?

It is good to return to my apartment here in the tower. I was beginning to think I would never see it again.

[Filtered to Audrey Nathan]

I understand you have taken over as the Housing Assistant for my floor so I thought it best to introduce myself. I am Fenris and I am in apartment 1011. I have been away in Europe with the remnants of SHIELD for the last few months.

Now that I have returned to New York, I would like to resume my appointments with you, if that is possible.

I heard you too are interested in getting Severus to agree to be tracked by magic. He had his time of spying here, and I know he deceived everyone about that. But that time should be over. And no doubt that put you through enough. So what do you say we join forces and convince him together? He's not a loner any more.

Filtered: Alana Bloom

I don't know if you've seen James Potter's post about magically tracking friends and loved ones here, with their consent. But I'd like to have you on my watch, and I'd be up for being on yours, if you wish to get one. A little peace and certainty perhaps.

There's an election in two days, and my the two candidates for the New York senate seat have different views on people with powers. I don't know how much anyone here pays attention to politics, with everything going on. And it's too simple to make everything a one issue vote, but if you're interested in it, consider voting on Tuesday. Our voting precinct is

PS 89
201 Warren Street
New York, NY 10282

It's not more than a five minute walk from Potts Tower. And if you didn't register to vote by October 5th, there's always next time.

Filtered: Severus Snape

This last week my best friend disappeared, or so Alana and I concluded given he abandoned his dog. As much as he's the type to go to most any lengths for something he believes in or just... to be by himself, he'd never abandon his dogs. He had a whole pack of them back home, mutts and strays so ugly or ratty that they'd likely never get adopted. That's as good as anything to determine his return through the tesseract. If spoilers are any indication, he'll live through getting gutted, which is the last we know in detail.

But there's nothing like that for you, or Alana, as there was Will. Nothing old-fashioned out of my world. Well, that's in play. SHIELD certainly was keeping track, as we all know now. But that's not happening anymore. So that leaves magic. I'm getting one of the watches made, and you should be on it. You're the person I'm closest to here after Alana, and I'll be damned if you pull a disappearing act on me. If you want to logic it out, I'll meet you for it every step of the way, but the heart of it's emotional. And there's no real argument against that. Friends deserve to be treated right.

FILTERED TO PATIENTS (INDIVIDUALLY):

Due to personal circumstances, I will have to cancel my appointments until next week.

FILTERED TO BEVERLY KATZ:

I think Will's gone. He's been gone for a long time, hasn't answered his phone, and his dog has been left at his apartment. You know how he is about his dogs.

FILTERED TO WILL GRAHAM:

Are you interested in going out or staying in for Halloween? I think this is the first year not to be involved in a case or some other real life horror on the day.

FILTERED TO BEVERLY KATZ:

You know, I'm not sure I asked how your apprenticeship is going. Is Professor Snape everything you hoped for?

As Halloween approaches, I just thought that this is a good time as any for a PSA.

If I see a flamenco dancer or "sexy senorita" or "Mexican man" or anything whatever they fucking have nowadays, there may be ripping of said costumes. Spend your money wisely.

FINE, I'LL REPLACE THE CURTAINS!

FILTERED TO MIKASA ACKERMAN:

Hello, Ms. Ackerman. I thought I would check in to make sure that things are going well for you, and to see if you've got anything on your mind that you'd like to talk about, no matter how random it is.

FILTERED TO GWEN STACY:

Hello, Ms. Stacy. My name is Dr. Alana Bloom. I'm a psychiatrist who specializes in severe trauma and have helped capture quite a few sick people who have broken the law in my world.

I wanted to offer my services to you and your family during this trying time. I know that it cannot change your loss, but I thought it might help your family adjust and have a safe space for all of you to speak freely and openly on what is on your mind.

If this is something that you would be interested in, I am open to seeing if what I can provide for you lines up with what you and your family needs.

I miss being in the country this time of year.

FILTERED TO SARAH MANNING:

How is Kira handling Felix's disappearance?

FILTERED TO KATE KANE:

I hope that you are doing well wherever it is that you are. I hadn't spoken to you in some time, and while I knew you were out of the country, disappearances here have not been as noted as they were before.

Is there something I could help you with over the network?

FILTERED TO TONY STARK:

It's been some time. I take it things are going well.
