( Merry Christmas to all Stark Employees )


( Friends of Tony and Pepper )

[ooc: If you think you are a friend of Tony or Pepper then you probably are and will have received the second message]

Sharon, Tony, Pepper, Athos

So let's talk about irony for a minute.

You all know or have guessed that I came here to investigate the dreams.

I am also sure that for most of you that it won't come as a surprise that I'm having the dreams too.

>> Lunch is on me.

>> Are you free this afternoon?
>> I have a surprise.

>> There was an energy spike around Trabuco Caynon.
>> Anyone nearbye?

>> I heard the news.
>> Welcome back, Agent Hill.

( Cut for character death mentions )

What we're facing is the nightmare from my dream world. Their only reason to exist is to cause the extinction of technologically advanced organic life, and they have a particular dislike for humanity. There will be no mercy and no quarter. They will turn brother against brother, and they will turn the rest of us into raw material to build another Reaper.

We fight, or we die, there's no other option.

>> We need to go to Las Vegas for the week.
>> Is that possible?

>> I need you both in Las Vegas, backing up Agent Bond for the Stark Wedding.
>> There's no question something will happen.
>> Report ASAP.

>> Are you home?
>> Lock the doors, stay inside, don't open for anyone.
>> Windows locked too.
>> I'll be home as soon as I can.

>> I need you here ASAP.
>> There's been an incident.

>> We have a Code Dearly Destructive, Level Four.
>> I repeat, Code Dearly Destructive, Level Four.
>> Keep an eye on Pepper, she's bound to realize the champagne is still out sooner or later.

[Backdated to the day after Turin showed up b/c I'm slow]

» Are you going to be home on time tonight?
» I have something I need to talk to you about.

» Mops is back!
» Someone left him on the front porch.

>> I'm getting a bonus at work.
>> How do you feel about a vacation?

>> We are code Delta.
>> Report all findings to level 7 or higher, assist in civilian evacuation as needed.
>> Engage only if hostile.

( With a note )

Director–

Think we should look into this "ghost" thing? It seems like something up our alley.

– Agent Hill

>> Something I forgot to tell you.
>> And it's kind of big.

A fancy invitation is sent out to everyone who is registered on the network and left at their front door. It is a red box with gold ribbon containing a little champagne bottle, bubbles, confetti, a Iron Man & Pepper figurine and the following invitation to a certain wedding:

[OOC: Feel free to use this post to RSVP!]

( Cut for image )

>> Now that things have settled, I suggest a donut run.
>> On me.

>> I'm sorry to bother you, Agent Coulson. This is John Blake.
>> Maria's in a bad way, and I'm not sure how to get her to go to a hospital. And she needs to badly.

» What's going on?
» You didn't come home last night.

Someone bring Loki in. That son of a bitch is going to pay if he's behind this.

>> It appears to be opening.

Coulson's team had uncovered something... strange. Picking up his phone immediately, he dialed the Director.

This could be bad.

>> Stark is AWOL.

>> I just spent five days as Abraham Lincoln. I feel so disrespectful.
>> Tony's not answering texts.
>> Do you guys have a better way of looking for him than I do?
>> Things got a little tense toward the end of his party.
>> I want to make sure that he's okay.

Drop everything else I have you working on. We have an incoming spaceship ship meteor something headed our way. We will be working closely with NASA on this one. We need to know what that thing is and what it's doing here.

[OOC: This is the start of the Enterprise plot. The flying object is the Enterprise, but currently it's basically fucking with them and won't stay still long enough for them to figure it out.]

>> You busy?
>> Hopefully not sleep busy.
>> If sleep busy I'm sorry.

[Secure text to Coulson]

>> I need backup at Stark Tower. Stat.

[Secure text to John]

>> If you do not have a tall, stiff drink waiting for me when I get home, I'm going to be very upset.

Hello Steve Captain Mr. Rogers,

I was wondering if you could stop by our offices at your convenience? Nothing pressing, but I would appreciate it.

Stark is now an reluctant asset. I'm still wary about using him, but at least now we know he's on our side.

Coulson, I want you to bring in Rogers. Hill, you take the Doctor.

This might be something we should keep an eye on. Queen's been on our radar for a while, but this could be taken as a statement of intent.

–Hill

[To Agent Coulson]
>> You are way too happy on a Monday.
>> What happened?

[To John]
>> Apparently we need to pick a favorite color for this lingerie party thing.
>> Thoughts?

[Encrypted email to Director Bristow]

Ma'am–

Not a lot of progress on the Kerrigan case. I think I may go talk to Raynor in person, with your permission.

I'm also concerned about Stark's Halloween/birthday bash. There's going to be a lot of people there, including (I believe) Dr. Banner. It might be a good idea to have an agent or two in place in case something goes wrong.

– Agent Hill

Coulson,

Get me a case file on Sherlock Holmes. I want to know everything there is to know about this guy.

-Director Bristow

Encrypted e-mail to Bristow

I've got some information on a rogue, brainwashed CIA agent we should probably look into. I've forwarded you the relevant information.

– Agent Hill

Text to Uhura
>> So I've been sitting on this for a while and I can't hold back anymore.
>> Why the hell didn't you take the job?

Message to Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, Clint Barton, and Phil Coulson.

So. Loki's shown up, if you weren't aware.

» I need you both on the hulk case.
» Meet me at Stark Industries.

( PM to Coulson )

>>We've got a Situation!
>>I can't stop thinking about you.

We will continue to use the encrypted flip phones until further notice for ALL communication. We have been asked to monitor the network and incoming phone messages for anything that might be considered 'strange'. Make all reports of findings to me directly and in person.

Director Bristow

>> Could use your help tonight.
>> Bring ties.

[Sent during the big birthday bash]
>> Hawke, I'm Phones aren't working right! I can't say over text!
>> Merrill needs to talk to Hawke! Pass it on!

>> What are your plans for this weekend?

I feel like I haven't said hello or heard from many of you in a while, so I wanted to touch base. Things have been a little insane at the fire station, but that's no excuse.

[Text to Coulson]
>> I'm at [address]. Please come get me.

The sleeping pills finally kicked in and I had a demented dream of glory of my own.

...Really long story that I get the feeling you're gonna disapprove of but yeah. We worked together. On a "helicarier" . Or you were one of the agents around anyway. Mostly the dream was about Director Fury yelling at me before I'd even joined.

So. That's a thing now, I guess.

[Text to Maria Hill]

>> I had a dream.

>> You won't believe it.
>> You just won't believe it.
>> Second best day I've ever had.
