The Doorway: a panfandom game

Xander & Dawn:
I found this and I need it explained. Now.

It's just...it's fanart...right? Is it fanart. Do I just have this thing for...for...I don't even know what to say. First spiders and now snakes...or well, no, I guess it's snakes and then spiders? I don't. I have no. I can't even. I'm going to bed.

Tara:
Hey, baby, Spike is probably going to come to the shop tomorrow night after closing. There's this spell I was working on to help Dru before, when he was here. And...Buffy asked for a protection spell for the tower. I was wondering if you'd want to help me?

I figured the warning charm we did on The Magic Box would probably be sufficient enough for the tower, too. If...if you don't want...I know there's still...if you don't want to see me with the magics, I mean. I understand. But I'm better now. Really.

Employees:
Spike is back. He'll probably be coming back to work at the shop, too.

FILTERED TO SCOOBIES & CLOSE FRIENDS:

So how do you go about quitting a secret organization if you no longer feel comfortable with it? I mean, you know, without getting your friends killed or arrested in the process?

Yay (normal) me!

Also? Glad to be on my way back home.

Not the first time I woke up to find myself in another body, but it is the first time I woke up with this hair.

Willow? 

Buffy?

.......anyone?

Goddess, it feels so strange to be alive again

I'm really confused and kind of scared right now... can someone tell me where I am?

[Filter: Willow]

Okay, you grabbed me to talk about stuff and I need to talk to someone and Buffy's all SHIELD agent of the year-ing it and whatever. Can I come by the shop this afternoon?

[Filter: Xander]

I have a desperate need for ice cream tonight. What do you say?

Filter: Cassie Sandsmark]

So I've been trolling through the Internet and of course there's a lot of stuff that may be totally ridiculous - I mean, There are various theories conjured by Rising Tide for example - but then there's some other stuff. Not a lot though. I'm thinking I may have to go to the library and start going through the newspaper archives.

In the meantime I'm thinking that having a list of everyone's powers & strengths might not be a bad idea so that we could start thinking about groups. Do you mind if I go ahead and start gathering that stuff?

FT Employees:
I need your opinion on something.
Do you enjoy your schedules, or would you prefer a rotating schedule?

Ben Reilly:
Hi! So. Hi. We don't talk often and that is sad, because you're my best friend's boyfriend and we should know each other better by now. And I feel bad coming to you like this, because I need your help, and it's not just a social call. Though I will slip it in that we should go have coffee some day, or night, I assume you drink coffee at night to stay awake while out and about doing the patrolling thing. Or is it just JD and her friends that do the patrolling thing?

That's not really the point here. I guess first I need to know if I can trust you. Can I trust you?

FILTERED TO SCOOBIES & CLOSE FRIENDS:

Change of plans, guys. Heading out of the country for several days.

Anyone want something from Greece?

I build things for a living and yet I'm easily defeated by IKEA. There's something the first evil should have taken over. Or maybe it founded it. Being hired to build others furniture isn't the greatest or glamorous, but it still pays.

So. My memories, obviously have you. And I know things never happened between us, but they do... I just - can we talk about this? I mean, I don't know how much you know. If you don't want to, that's ok. I understand. It's just. When I look at you, I see the Dawn that I know and the Dawn future me knows.

Today was the festival of Matronalia; ancient Roman holiday, very similar to America's Mother's Day - except most people just think Mother's Day is a Hallmark holiday. I hate it when people dismiss holidays that were once so important, they still hold value.

I think, because of everything going on, my mind is just wandering and pulling up bits of information from high school (like Roman holidays). I’ve even caught myself thinking about the philosopher Pythagoras and the characters, virtues, and other properties he taught in regards to numbers. Which then spins off and has me thinking about the Tetragrammaton, of course.

I had a reason for posting...I really did...but now I can't stop thinking in this straight line and I'm stuck on numbers. Maybe I need sleep.

[Filter: Friends of Dawn & Willow]

All right, high time we have a movie, cookie baking, play games all night long (or as long as you want to if you have some sort of adult responsible job or something!) sort of night.

Willow and I are thinking Thursday night maybe? Who's in?

FILTERED TO BUFFYVERSE

Has anyone seen or talked to Fred recently?

This is mostly inspired by an ongoing debate at the office and people posting about the Winter Olympics: but if you could somehow compete in either version of the Olympics what would your sport be?

For me its a tie between snowboard cross and hockey for winter and rifle for summer.

*Filter: Jack and Ianto*

Drinks soon?

Who has two thumbs, red hair, and totally forgets when her birthday is? This girl! Who has the bestest and cutest roommate of all time? This girl! If it wasn’t for the nummy cupcakes Dawnie set out this morning I wouldn’t have even thought to check a calendar – and even if I had I’ve been so caught up in planning Ostara and Beltane altars and special sale items that I would have seen today and just thought, “I only have a couple more days left to create the loose leaf incense for the Ostara kits! And decide for sure what to do for Beltane!”

Well, it looks like I’m going to get a chance to relax, reflect, and maybe meditate a little more for the next couple of days. My buddy Ken has given me the chance to close the shop for a little while so maybe I can meet up with a few of my friends that I’ve not been able to see? Huh, huh, huh?!

Filter, Scoobies:

Dawnie, you’re amazing. I love all the pieces that make up your being and cuteness factors. I so need another cupcake when I get home…

Xander, I need to hire you ASAP. I need new shelves and there’s a huge hole in the front of the store’s floor right now…can you help? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?!

Buffy, there’s wood splinters and stuff in the basement. I’d probably not go down there to train until we get this all cleaned up. Sigh.

Filter, Employees (Bonnie, Lirael, Illyana, luna, Spike & Pamela):

The store is going to have to be closed at least until Tuesday, I’m hoping Tuesday is the latest anyway. Lirael & Luna, thanks so much for keeping calm today and helping with the little cleanup - I appreciate your help so very much.

Pamela, the store’s closure shouldn’t affect you or your patrons – just let them know if you have any appointments already setup that they’ll have to go through the back entrance. You have the key so feel free to come and go just as we discussed; the lounge and kitchen area should be fine to use still as well.

Spike, are you busy Sunday night? I need a little help with something in the basement.

/filter

Ken/Mettle:

How’re you holding up? Do you need anything? Does Jenny need anything? And maybe a little random, but kind of necessary to know here; did you piss a witch or maybe a gypsy off today?

/filter

Good bye, little friend. Good bye. You had a very lovely snaggletooth, and you looked wonderful in lace.

All work and not enough play means I'm becoming a bit of a bore.

AKA anyone want to have coffee sometime between school and work?

Who: The whole game!
When: Valentine's Day! (Pretend it's the 14th)
Where: In your pants. Wherever love is!
What: Valentine presents!
Rating: Who knows!

Because this game is massive, and even if everyone 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 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.

So my apartment is eerily quiet after the cacophony of the last few days. Willow, I'm thinking maybe we should spend some time cleaning appliances and maybe then they'll stop glaring at me.

And I think I may go out to get coffee because I feel like the coffee maker still would like to cut my head off.

Did you survive the cylon revolution?

how are the memor

Okay, so that was interesting. My refrigerator just told me that it's "seen things, terrible things," and that I should be ashamed of myself.

The Spring Equinox (Ostara) is fast approaching which means new inventory! Valentines items are on clearance; there are only so many items left so if you’re looking for a couple’s bath/solution or attraction/prowess boosting spells/charms/kits now is the time to come to Widdershins!

Feel free to search inventory not found in the physical store online at widdershins.com¹ as well.

[Magic Community:]
I’m looking for an enterprising and spirited person with a gift for divination. Tea leaves, palm reading, tarot, water, whatever your medium (though multiple mediums would be preferred) – I have a business proposition for you.

[Johanna:]
I’m sorry I haven’t been around…feeling kind of like a bad friend over here. How have you been? Is Annie still doing better?
[/filter]

[Buffy/Xander/Dawn:]
I don’t know if I was ready to start acting like an adult! I don’t know where my days have gone!

Though I’m having fun. Never thought I’d be any good at this business stuff. What have I missed? I’m sure I’ve missed a lot…I feel like I’m missing a lot. I’ve been having too much fun with my head in the magical and business world.

[JD:]
EM really loves the store and has been taking naps in any streak of sunlight he can find. His happiness, and mine, are really all thanks to you. Just wanted to say thanks, again, and again...again.

How is everything going? Ready for another pet-date soon? I'm sure EM misses you, too.
