Wow, this is completely fucked up (cool video though, appreciated the explosions) and I really did not pay much attention in Physics class in high school so alternate universes must have been covered on the day I skipped out to go to Waffle House and witnessed both a stabbing and a declaration of divorce. Though I did read a lot of comic books as a kid.

But, uh, hi. I'm Richie. I have a couple of questions.

1. How long does it take before the shock wears off and the panic sets in?
2. Does everyone come here from extremely bonkershits situations or is that just me?
3. What the fuck?

Thanks for your time.

That last list was... a lot, but that's seemed pretty normal for this place lately. I'm still sorry so many had to lose friends or someone you cared about. I know how hard that can be. I've been baking away my feelings but I also kind of stick to a strict diet so if anyone wants to take these cupcakes off my hands I'll be forever in your debt. I only binge on junkfood when I'm super depressed I think I'm going to die.

But! We're getting closer to Halloween and that should be fun, right? I mean. What's the worst that can happen? We had dinosaurs last month.

I've been here for a little while now. I'm think I'm starting to get settled. It's definitely a pretty big change from what I'm used to back home, but I like it here.

I've signed up to work with the defense teams with the DOA, but I wouldn't mind having some other form of employment. I've got experience as a mechanic, or I can teach self-defense classes.

Also, I'm trying to learn more about the traditions here. Would anyone be interested in looking for a Halloween costume with me? We have nothing like it back home, so I don't really have a frame of reference.

So, I picked up on something kind of weird. There seems to be a signal of some sort coming from the island. I'm going to head over and investigate it a little more, maybe I'll be able to figure out what it actually is.

So that's something that happened. If anyone needs me I'll be in my lab.

I guess Sherlock's gone. That's really disappointing. I wanted to try and fix I'm really going to miss him and his daughter but, at least, they're back home.

Was there karaoke tonight or is that next week? If it's tonight... who else is going? Ooh! Did we ever decide on a game night?! I may have missed everyone and you should all be super prepared to be sick of me. Especially a certain someone in a trenchcoat.

Hello to anyone new out there I haven't had the chance to introduce myself to yet. I'm Ray Palmer. I'm a scientist working alongside the DOA and the DOD. I'm currently working on a project and I was hoping to find a few tech-savvy people who might be able to help me with both set up and testing. Must be comfortable both in and out of the lab, possibly, for long hours.

This is totally different from the voice thing. I'm still not a sea witch

[ ARROWVERSE ]
Okay people, check-in. Is anyone of us feeling particularly depressed and for some reason thinking about Ray and me?

Hey there, lab partner! So I got tapped to go down to Atlantis and figure out how to get the network up and running while we're down there. Arthur said you had expressed interest in doing a little research of your own. Want to come with?

[Filtered to Sara Lance]

Did you know we had an Ambassador to Atlantis? Do you think we have a version of him back home? So, I've been tapped to help get the network set up in Atlantis. I'm not sure how long it'll take since I'm not sure what I'm working with just yet. Before I go off to spend most of my time somewhere out of reach I just want to make sure things are okay here. Sherlock might be coming along with me so you won't have to worry about him. Is Gideon handling things smoothly? Have you noticed any hiccups? Anything I might need to try and troubleshoot? Considering the way this place likes to throw things at us I don't want to risk anything.

So... the ball. Did you want to go? We don't have to if it's something you're not into. Also, I might not be around too much. I'm going to be spending some time in Atlantis trying to get the network setup. It's probably going to take awhile since I'm not sure what their technology looks like just yet.

Now that the announcement is out, the glitter cannons have been fired, and opening weekend went by without any crises.... Hey. I'm Arthur. I'm acting as Vallo's ambassador to Atlantis and have been for.. too long.

Anyway, thanks, every one of you that went down there unaware that you were basically proving we weren't there to attack the people of Atlantis. Future thanks for keeping it that way.

I've spent the last few days trying to keep track of how much has changed in the last year+.

[Ray Palmer]

Hey Ray. I'm being told you're on our payroll and that means you're the best bet for working with the Atlanteans on extending our network down there, so no one's cut off when they're visiting anymore. You in?

Right. New world. New adventure. I can handle this.

Has anyone seen a random diner pop up anywhere recently?

Doctor, are you here? I have a feeling you might be. You're always around when there is weird stuff happening. And this place seems weird enough for you.

You know what we could use? A karaoke night. And a game night would also be super fun!

It hurts to say this, but I've just received a report that there a vicious bunnies in the forest. They will attack. They're moving in groups and destroyed at least one farmers livestock. Everyone please be careful. Team B is on patrol and I'm hoping for more information soon.

Thank you, Monty Python. Drinking should be allowed at work.

I was kind of hoping you guys were available to talk some time travelling shop?

Hey so, super weird, no, Ray, different word odd request but is there anyone who wouldn't mind volunteering their voice for a project I'm working on. It's for science and the Defense Department... mostly the Defense Department.

[ RAY PALMER ]
I need your brain. You got some time?

((backdated to 6/3))

[SABRINA]
I have a favor to ask. How are you with kids?

[SARA + RAY]
See you met Zee. She and I have a long history, but not my usual kind of history. She's good people. You can trust her unquestionably with anything.

[RAY]
I never mentioned her before now because I thought I'd lost having her in my life, but she and I were Biblically close for a long while. I know this will probably be fucking strange for all of us, but she's got her Constantine back...wherever she's from. I still need to see her though.

I hope you can trust me with this. I know that's unfair to ask given that it's coming from me, of all people.

I appreciate that there's both a government (?) facility and a 'welcome to the universe' video, to sort of ease someone into the idea that they've been spirited away to another dimension. Where I come from, it wasn't exactly calm and peaceful but this is a whole other thing - guess I better introduce myself, at least.

I'm Zatanna. I grew up in the circus and now I love the stage, and I turn the cards on occasion. The small person with me is Leo, he'll be three in October. On Halloween, which is pretty par the course when you're born a Constantine.

So who wants to fill me in on what this island is really like?
