Aside from the giant beasts, the jungle isn't really all that bad.

Hey Potts Tower! I'm trawling for new music and trying to get to know people. So...

What's your favorite song? Or just your favorite song right now? Or the song you just can't stop listening to or can't get out of your head?

Currently reigning o'er my playlist is:

The Gaslight Anthem - "45"

So like back home I had this really sweet guitar, right? In terms of favorites it's kind of hard to pick between my surfboard and my guitar, which of course are always secondary to my bow, but you like get the point. Thanks to some guy on the third floor I found a music store today and was like, in paradise. Seriously. Literally spent the whole day there. Well, from like 11 in the morning til it closed and the guy told me to get out. I didn't mean to stay so long but like, I was in need of some serious jam time!

No, you totally like don't understand how badly I've missed my guitar, dudes. I totally wanted to buy one but they're all like... super expensive? So when I was leaving I gave him what money I had left and told him to give me whatever guitar I could afford -- and this is what I got...

Totally. Not. Cool.

Whoa. New York. Is this a fucking head trip or what? Hell, it's even more of a head trip than the ones I've been on recently and believe me, the Rook Islands produce some really serious shit. Or Dr Earnhardt does anyway.

So, I'm Jason Brody and this is definitely not the Rook Islands. I'm also a character from a video game, which is totally blowing my mind. And those SHIELD guys took my weapons, which I'm a bit pissed about, because I worked hard for those weapons and they were my favourites. Any chance I'm going to get them back?

My handsome roommate ala Instagram, about 30 seconds after waking me up and scaring the shit out of me this afternoon. He's lucky I don't have superhuman reflexes.

[ooc: I know this is Jurassic Park, but let's pretend it's not, okay? OKAY. It just looks similar. THANKS.]

Well, maybe I'm not meant to understand this place yet, but I'm going to keep trying anyway. But, rather than ask if all of you came from significant points in your life (emotionally speaking), I'm going to try and disprove this theory right off.

Would any of you say that the time you came from, right before showing up here through the tesseract, was insignificant? Not in a bad way, necessarily, just completely ordinary and not noteworthy, whatever that would be for you. If you were just going about your usual routines, having your 500th cup of coffee, having your everyday run of the mill fight for your life, that sort of thing.

So like.. I hope I seriously didn't freak you out with the computer-maybe-being-alive thing? If I did I'm totally sorry. I think I legit understand the technology a lot better now and.. yeah..

What's up?

If I did just y'know, keep this in mind?

O Wonder!
How many goodly creatures there are here!
How beauteous mankind is! O, brave new world,
That has such people in't!

I am uncertain, contextually, if I am quoting Shakespeare's Miranda or Huxley's John the Savage. In either case, I hope I do so with a great deal less irony.

I am told that I should introduce myself, particularly as I imagine that I would be a bit startling otherwise. I shall strive for succinctness. I am Dr. Hank McCoy, formerly employed by the United States government. I matriculated from Harvard and possess doctorates in biophysics and genetics from George Washington University.

Despite a debriefing upon arrival, I cannot say that I completely fathom the implications of my arrival here, crossing space and perhaps more troubling, time itself. However, suppose we should all make the best of this and even if this world is not the one with which we are most familiar, strive to make it a world of our own. One of tolerance and concord.

I believe it was Anaïs Nin who recently wrote: Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

I think I should explain who I am since people around the tower think I'm able to scale the side of buildings and answer the name of Spider Man.

My name's Aerrow and I'm from Atmos. I'm...pretty sure there isn't any one here other than my buddy Finn who knows what, or where, Atmos is. It's alright! No hard feelings.

I've been here for a few days, but, are the welcoming committees always so friendly?

nothing has changed since my arrival and i loathe to think that my only accomplishment is that this device is still in one piece for once. it was suggested that i be more social with my neighbours. however all i can think is, must i?

[info]finnthegomo

The name's Finn; sharpshooter for the Storm Hawks and the legendary, magnificent, great Gomo. Some of you have probably heard of me already got recognized by a little kid, chicka-cha! I gotta say, for being the Far Side this place is like... a lot less gloomier and scary-looking than I was expecting. A lot colder too. Kinda like Terra Blizzaris.

Does it ever get warm here? And do you guys have like beaches and stuff?

OH MAN-- what kind of music do you guys have?! And where can I get a guitar? And surfboard. I think I need a new Skimmer and energy bow too, since they kinda confiscated mine -- which by the way, so not cool, dudes.

I hope I'm using this right? Some dude tried explaining it to me after that tutorial or whatever but we don't really have cellphones in Atmos. And honestly I don't really think taking advice from a dude who said I needed to get angry birds is like, a good idea, y'know?

[info]kayleefrye

So I was thinkin with all the new folks comin in, we should do some kinda weekly welcome gatherin. Folks can do things like they would on their own planets and get to know each other. Weren't even need to be just for new folks either. Could just be for people who don't know nobody here. I seen lots of people not knowin anyone here & i think it could be good.

Anyone wanna help out with that kinda thing?

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
