The Doorway: a panfandom game

I'll be sending you a bill for my ruined costume. I had to burn it.

That was a new level of lame, even for you.

Why don't we just get this over with?

You know, I've always been a cynic when it comes to the belief that people will help those they don't know, or even those they don't like when they're in need. I've never been so grateful to be wrong. I promise I'll thank each and every one of you properly when I'm a bit...better. But the portrait's magic has done it's work. I'm going to be fine. But thank you, again, from the bottom of my heart.

You know, Darling, I hope no one manages to kill you. I know there's a few who certainly want to -- but I would consider it a tragedy for any of them to succeed. Instead, I hope you get your soul back. I do, I really do, because when that happens -- I'm going to destroy you.

I'm sure you're busy, but I'd like a word if you don't mind?

So. I know this is totally out of like, all of the fields, left, right, and otherwise, but Hi. I'm Dawn Summers, you probably know my sister, Buffy, cause everyone knows my sister. And you probably also know about the fact that her former boyfriend from ages ago has gone all Grr, and we've been trying to keep him out of the tower and that sort of thing.

ANYWAY... the reason I was filtering to you was because I need a date to that prom thing. But then all this stuff happened and I happened to think, well maybe I shouldn't go to the prom because Buffy will kill me if I leave my apartment. BUT then I happened to think? Tower? with lots of people in one place, like a dance? That might be a party Angelus would be interested in crashing so maybe I should go. But I'm not so much with the fated super power strength thing. That's where you come in.

So, if either of you weren't going, or don't have dates to go, and you'd like to come to prom with me, I promise I'm a pretty good dancer, and I'm really good at the picking out Vampires thing, and we could try to make certain no Angelus stuff goes down at prom.

And if you're already going with other people, then just ignore the fact that I asked, and maybe just keep your eyes open for trouble. Yeah?

So, I totally just asked Captain America to the prom. Both of them. Except kind of not. Cause, it was kind of a go and protect people with me thing.

I think this Angelus thing has made me go certifiably insane.

As most of you know Angelus is currently out in New York City - from the bunch of vampires Buffy, Faith, Sam, Charles, and I ended up fighting last night, he's been busy.

Last night Angelus attacked Dorian Gray and after the very public discussion this morning, I'm guessing this situation is now on SHIELD's radar, which means that what we've been trying to do quietly is now less quiet. I need everyone who can help with this to be on board. If you can call in sick to work and are willing to do so, please do. If you need a doctor's note for that to happen, then I can probably get something arranged. If you are SHIELD and you'd prefer to not be privy to what we're doing due to conflict of interest, let me know I'll remove you from this filter immediately.

Research & Magic - Right now we have no idea where Angelus is. We have some idea from the locations he's been recently, but that only gives us so much to go on. Tracking spells, any sort of magical ability, or frankly access to city cams or other options. I'm not overly concerned with legalities at the moment other than to not get caught.

Fighting - we have a choice to make here. There are only so many of us and it's a large city. My inclination would be to keep a strong rotation here, Angelus tends to fixate on people he knows and most of those are in the tower currently. If anyone knows of anyone else that lives somewhere other than the tower who might be fixated on by Angelus, please let me know immediately. We need to ensure their safety. Beyond that, anyone who has tracking abilities see what I told Research & Magic above. I'm open to suggestions as to how best to track or contain Angelus.

If we can get him to Sam Winchester's cabin, then we can keep him contained until we figure out how to put his soul back. However, we can't do that until we can find him.

Ideally, we would like him alive.

Add in any further directions you have to give. I'm going to attempt to talk to Angelus myself.

I'm still alive and moderately unscathed for what it's worth. I still plan on taking you to that embarrassing high school ritual, so stay safe.

You never call, you never write. Do you really like your new friends so much better than us?

Change of plans.

Nice try.

You know.

I've been thinking.

[Angelus]

Well, is it true?

[Tony Stark (616)]

If I haven't said it yet today - I love you.

If anyone is still awake at this hour (which I would assume so because there's few people who go to bed crazy early like me),... it seems as though I might have gone overboard with baking in a fit of trying to distract myself in lieu or trying to improve my cupcake frosting skills. If you're giving me weird looks, trust me, absolutely understandable. But if anyone wants a morning snack, you're welcome to swing by in the morning for some any time at all. Or now if you really want.

I think I'm just trying to get as much enjoyment for having free time as I can before I get busy with college courses.

I haven't been in much of a good place since my son left and I can't imagine things have been letting up for you either. So just wanted to check up on you. How are you doing?

I'm guessing that comic had some pretty grim stuff about your future, to cause total radio silence for this long. You alright?

You really suck at that staying in touch thing.

Everything okay?

Haven't heard from you in a few days. You okay?

I think we might have a situation here.

I want to thank all of you who have been willing to assist in this way. I recognize that most of you hold other jobs of some variety and this is purely volunteer, but some basic organization and clean-up so that if we need to do something, we'll know what we're working on.

Based on the skill-sets that have been discussed I've given each of us a primary responsibility, and where appropriate a secondary responsibility. Some of you I know well, others of you I know less well and hope to get to know better, so if you feel as if this is not a good fit for you - please say so. These are also fluid as none of us will always be available in every situation and may need to jump into areas we're less comfortable as a result. That is to be expected and I appreciate anyone's willingness to do so.

In addition, we are all our own experts about our own realities, as well as having some knowledge of various other realities that we've read or studied about on our own time either here or at home.

Questions, comments or changes you'd like to see made?

My name is Wesley Wyndam-Pryce and I'm a friend of Sam's. I believe you have left and have just arrived again. you were part of this group before and if you would like to continue to be part of it you are certainly welcome.

I have three questions for you:

1. Emeralds or sapphires?
   
2. If I asked you to save the world with me, what your response be?
   
3. Prom. Yay? or nay? And if yay? Will you go with me? And if yay, how shall we start courting the tower to be King and Queen? Because the last time I went to prom, I was actually a bona fide fool and I'd like to not repeat that experience.
   

That may have been more than 3 questions - I'll make it up to you.

I miss you.
