Random question? Ever miss our own home? I mean, our world in general? Not the... shards of penthouse that are left.

Got to finally experience firsthand how a massive bitch those memory dumps can be. Am I part of some exclusive club now?

I'm eating ice cream right out of the thing! RIGHT OUT OF THE THING!! I also have two space heaters so it's all evened out.

So okay I don't want to go to school anymore. I want to get a job. What forms do I fill out? Please and thank you.

I also want to buy a bird. I think I want a lovebird. They're very pretty and they have "love" in their name, how can that go wrong??

KAINE I KNOW YOU'RE HERE I CAN HEAR YOU THINKING

In less than six months, I'll have been here two whole years. It's a hell of a thing to think about when I'd never stayed in one place this long before I got to Bon Temps, and the way things are going here, I might beat my own record. Knock on wood. I'll be working on new recipes courtesy of Sif's Christmas gift to me, so there may be some new daily specials in the near future. You can thank her if it works out.

Lafayette left just recently, which I've been trying not to think about much. He wasn't that happy here, so it's all right, except there ain't much good to look forward to back in Bon Temps either, not for any of us. That's life.

Since it's been a while, I figured I'd take a second to mention that if you need a job, come talk to me down at the bar. Mostly looking for anyone 18 and up, so you can serve alcohol. Bartenders, servers, cooks. Some experience preferred, but some things are easier to pick up than others, so don't let that stop you from coming to talk to me about it.

And one more thing: new folks, if you hadn't heard, your first drink's on the house. Don't forget your ID.

....Okay, really? John Oliver left the Daily Show? That totally sucks.

I already broke one of my resolutions and missed going to the gym. I haven't gotten any work out videos yet. Although I haven't really worked out how those bluray thingies work.

What a joke. It's gloomy as fuck in Houston.

FILTERED TO SPIDER-HOUSE, ANNABELLE, & JESSICA JONES:

Not gonna be around for Christmas or New Years.

I'm starting to think I'll need a bottle of my own here but in the meantime, anyone have some aspirin to give away? Or Tylenol or Advil or Aleve or whatever the heck helps with new memory dream-induced headaches?

Hey, honey, I have a quick question.

Who: The whole game!
When: Leading up to Christmas
Where: Under tree. Delivered with bows. Handed to a person. Whatever!
What: Christmas presents!
Rating: Who knows!

Because this game is massive, and even if every character just sent ONE package to anyone, it would end up being 300+ posts in the community. So to save our friends lists from imploding, we the moderators are asking that you fill out this form and reply HERE. It'll make it easier to find (Control-F is a lovely thing!) and we won't have to abuse our scroll button. Here's how we're going to do it. You will post for one character with everything that they got for their friends/family/etc. Make sure to tag your character and all the characters that yours gave gifts too as soon as you get their information up! <b>Character name:</b> Name! <b>GIFTS:</b> • <b>Giftee:</b> Present. • <b>Giftee:</b> Present. • <b>Giftee:</b> Present. • <b>Giftee:</b> Present. • <b>Giftee:</b> Present.

ooc: after the auction

I don't think I have ever been relieved to get out of my apartment after spending a full fucking week in it. For the next week, I will not be there AT ALL. You'll likely find me around the city, at parks, at Times Square, shopping...

Okay, maybe not shopping. Or Times Square. The city is packed with enough people already.

Where: Sam’s!

Rating: Well, Sam is naked. BUT IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK.

Hey Parkers. Anyone have a camera they want to let me borrow when I go to Asgard once I'm done with finals? Not that I know how much time I'll have to take picture but figure you might want something better than phone pics.

I gotta say, while it actually feels like winter up here, especially when it snows, I sure miss not having to deal with winter storms. How the hell do y'all do that every year?

The bright side to this time of year are the seasonal beers. I've got a couple incredible seasonal brews from local breweries on tap, so come get them while we have the stock. You know how limited edition works. There's this one, Fire & Ice, from Brooklyn Brewery. I think it's my favorite so far.

FILTERED TO SAM'S EMPLOYEES:

Annabelle's sick, so keep a close eye on how you're all feeling. Chicken pox is real contagious, and I don't want it spreading. Any sign of it, let me know so we can keep your sick ass at home.

FILTERED TO SIF:

Not sure if you're still on this side of the realms, but be c kick some ass out there. I told Fandral, but I'll have something waiting for you all when you're back.

FILTERED TO ANNABELLE ADAMS:

How you feeling?

Uuuuuuugh figures that the day I want to throw my overheated body outside in the cold is the day that its unusally warm for this month

Whose doing chickenpox delivery service again??

There isn't a polite way to ask this, but you're a scientist. So, are you still having problems with that blood sickness? Coughing up blood? Or have you found a cure for it? I ask because if not, I've been informed of something that may help you, though it's never been investigated. It could be a shot in the dark. But we won't know, until someone tries. And you're more a realist about scientific things than most people. I don't think of you as a lab rat, but I don't want you going and dying on us either.

You must be terribly busy now. Are you holding down your job, or does SHIELD pay you for your services?

What do single people do for Christmas? The holidays sound dreadful without family here.

DEAREST FRIENDS, THE INHABITANTS OF POTTS TOWER:

I needn't provide you with a history lesson regarding the true facts of Thanksgiving; how the sugar was not bountiful, how the pheasant was not fat and the corn, if there was any, was like to be riddled with worms. No. I realize you celebrate, looking back to that time with all the wonder and all the resources the world has to offer you and I cannot fault you in the slightest.

Though I would very much like to fault you for Black Friday. As would, I am sure, your prudish Puritan forebears. If you only knew ... well, I suppose the point of this missive is to state that you do not know. And in not knowing, you are free to interpret your holiday at will. I have much respect for this, and all the more for you. I am glad to be here. I am glad indeed.

I promise to learn more of you in the coming days and perhaps, by Christmas, we may yet come to an understanding of our place as refugees and the purpose of our presence in this most contemporary of realms. Best wishes on this day. And if you own a car, please do be wary of your surroundings.

There is a man - I assume a man, for his face was covered in a mask - attempting to steal vehicles. As I do not own a vehicle (though I do long to drive one some find day), I do not fully understand the customs of travel via them but breaking windows seems quite harsh.

All in all, I wish you the best. I have my pie and now, I must away.

EVER YOURS,
I.B. Crane

NEW FRIENDS, THE DENIZENS OF POTTS TOWER:

I am made to believe that through this device heretofore known as a Tesseract, we have all traveled and are thus sheltered by the good graces of a Mister Anthony Stark and his lady, Miss Pepper Potts. To Stark and Potts, each, I offer my most fervent thanks, though at present your agents of SHIELD do not yet find me precisely fit to take my place on the twentieth floor. No matter, for I do suppose this night is for introductions.

Hello, one and all, I am Ichabod Crane. In this world, I am further made to believe that we are considered 'fictional' beings and are thus something of a curiosity to most people. To be quite honest, I have become most accustomed to the curiosity of most. You see, only recently had I made my home in Sleepy Hollow (circa 2013). Prior to that, I was both spy for General George Washington and a player amongst those who fought for freedom from the tyranny of not only the British but also the forces of evil.

Now I must ask you to welcome me with open arms, to tell me your tales and regale me with your own worlds.

I don't suppose you have such a thing as a horseman here, do you?

I REMAIN EVER YOURS,

Ichabod B. Crane

Alright everyone, Sookie and I decided to host a Thanksgiving dinner at the bar for anyone who doesn't have anywhere to go, or just anyone who wants to come. We've got the turkey covered, and pies, but we'll need some help with the rest, so if you're interested, let me know what you could bring to share around and I'll fill in what's missing. This time of year's about being with people you care about, and I know a good number of us are missing those folks. I didn't know a soul before I moved to Bon Temps, but the people there became more of a family than I'd ever known, and this place is something like that too.

BYOB too, unless you want to pay me. I'll have some to share, but I can't pay for everyone.

SAM'S EMPLOYEES:

Don't feel obligated to come, and don't forget, I gave you the Wednesday before off too. Think that's mostly for me than anyone else though. You're welcome.

Never have I had such a stronger craving for something this late in the night after work than I do right now for empanadas. Best ones I've ever tasted in my entire life were the ones from the Original Marini's Empanada House. In Houston, of course. Only place I have ever been until I got sucked up and deposited here.

That being said, please tell me there's something open this late here in the city because I don't think I'd be able to sleep without having one.
