As convenient as the Waypoints are, it seems high time that I learn how to drive a proper vehicle. Has anyone any advice for going about that?

[Dorian]

I suppose at some point I'll learn to stop questioning your judgement. Thank you for helping me see sense even when I stubbornly refused to do so.

[Quentin and Eliot (and Lan Xichen)]

Our Most Gracious Hosts,

Thank you again for dinner on Sunday. Both Lan Huan and I had a marvellous time; the food was splendid and the company moreso. We both look forward to doing it again sometime soon.

Your friend,
Wm. Laurence

P.S. I very well may have to bother you for that cookie recipe at some point.

PSA: IF YOU SEE THIS CAT, REMAIN AT LEAST SIX FEET AWAY. ONLY PET IF APPROACHED.



I say this for the sake of your continued physical existence and mental well-being, people. Trust me.

Edit to clarify: Goose (the above cat) is with me right now, but she does do her own thing most of the time. She's friendly, just give her space to come to you, and you're good. She doesn't like to be surprised, and she has to judge you before deciding you're cool.

[FILTERED TO STEPHEN STRANGE, TONY STARK & LENA LUTHOR]
Which one of you want to help me create some sort of force field around Goose? And maybe some sort of giant holographic "BEWARE OF CAT" sign that comes out of her collar when someone gets too close.

Controversial opinion maybe but those Furby toy things ain't so bad once you mess with their wiring and reprogram them some. I got one taught to quiz me on flash cards and speak my language from home.

Looks like we have a cat in the penthouse now. Apparently, we can inherit cats from Serendipity Hills (fun?). I'm hoping just the one is enough of a souvenir in this case. We had to order a Litter Robot, scratching posts, and a ton of toys and catnip last minute to make sure she didn't claw up any of the furniture. She's a bed hog, but so far, still less of a disaster than Streaky.

Everyone, this is Mermista. )

Catra, I blame you for this.

Look, don't judge me. I'm doing my job.

Because my boss can't rub two brain cells together I've been put in charge of the holiday adoption - again. We're doing the 'Pawliday Wishes' these fucking PUNS all day today at the mall and throughout the month to get furballs out of the shelter. Show up and adopt something. Gonna just walk through and window shop on strays and talk about how cute they are and go home without them? Shame on you, you're dead to me and your Christmas spirit is fake.

We won't say no to volunteers but remember that you're not getting paid, though the cuddles you get in exchange (not from me, don't touch me just because I have cute ears) are worth it.

And for people who already have pets - yes, there is a Santa that your dog/cat/goat/goblin can take pictures with. Here's a sample. They make good holiday cards or whatever. Proceeds go to the shelter.

Questions? Complaints? Concerns? Too bad. I don't care. :)

Okay well, at least this time I didn't have to get a shot and quarantine. I guess that's something?

The video is a nice touch, points to those all involved!

It's Katie, and I'm going to need my people to check in because this definitely feels off from the normal portal "field trips". I'm not panicking

So Charlie? Gwen? Buffy? Fabian? Ras? James? [...] I'm not naming all of you.

So as December hits, I'm reminded of the fact that there is a SMALL POSSIBILITY that, um, we're all getting thrown into a winter holiday Hallmark movie. Or, as it stands to reason given past instances, several winter holiday Hallmark movies.

What the fuck, you may ask?

Well, there's a reality altering witch among us (Hi, not you Wanda! ♥ There's others!) that's been looking for her special someone for the past few decades. She occasionally finds her wintertime beau and we'll get a couple of years of relative peace during this time of year. Since the Outlanders have arrived, we haven't experienced this phenomenon. However, sources (read: witchy gossip among the Ankou grannies) have told me that Ms. Hallmark just broke up with her bff of the last three years and so we might be in for it this year.

So what are we in for?

A town called Serendipity Hills appears for a few days. Some of us locals get pulled into it to live out fairly cheesy holiday movie tropes, while Ms. Hallmark tries to find her new Mr. Hallmark. Other than living out a few days of gazebo dates, winter bake offs, log cabin snowstorms, and fireplace romances, not much else happens. Serendipity Hills also shows up on our televisions as a show so we can catch the latest romances as they're happening. And from all past experience, everything that happens is something our inner selves want to have happen, it's just a little holiday love magic setting the mood. The locals that do get pulled in sometimes have new names and backstories, but at their core, are still themselves.

We've also found that the people that get pulled in want to get pulled in at some level, so it's become tradition to let it run its course. I got a girlfriend out of it a few years back. Ask me about my Hallmark persona. Also, trying to pull anyone out never works, so we simply don't try anymore. Does Ms. Hallmark need therapy? Probably. But I'm not the one to tell the reality altering witch what to do.

So head's up, weird shit might happen this month (as always), but it's fairly harmless. Do I have anymore answers than what I wrote here? No. Are there whole viewing parties dedicated to Serendipity Hills? Yes. Hit me up, I'll send you a list of the best ones if this does go down.

EDIT: Hallmark definition for the uninitiated.

Alright, tonight is the second night of Hanukkah, the winter holiday that isn't legally obligated to have Mariah Carey playing every five minutes, that doesn't have an old man breaking in to your house to eat your food, and that doesn't have questionable labor practices for people and animals.

No, we instead have a celebration of the rededication of the Second Temple at the beginning of the Maccabbean revolt in which the Jewish people rose up against their Greek-Syrian oppressors! And the lights of the temple burned for eight nights even though there was only enough oil for one night! A Hanukkah miracle!

At home, celebrating Hanukkah looks like lighting the menorah (each night you add a candle for the lights of the temple), playing the dreidel (it's a 4 sided top, btw, all three of my brothers cheat, I should be better at it because I roll d4s all the time and yet), my bubbe getting Tommy and I mixed up every other conversation, seven nights of practical presents like sweaters from my parents with one night of something cool, Here, I promised Tommy these amazing jelly filled donuts called sufganiyot tonight, so if anyone's bored, our apartment is open.

Just keep an eye on your chocolate coins around Tommy.

I understand there's quite a bit going on right now, but - are there any technologically-minded individuals who wouldn't mind lending a hand with Sentinels? They are gigantic robots created to eradicate mutants, or anyone with the potential to have mutant children. And while crushing them like they're tin cans would technically be easy for me, they can take ice and stone forms. They also can mimic powers, and shapeshift to change sizes as well.

But they're very strong and do not deviate from their 'mission' easily. Rogue and myself managed to take one down but there are a few others out there, combing the forest. I have a few of the parts we've scavenged, if that would help create some kind of mechanism to dismantle them and their programming in one fell swoop.

Pierogi for anyone who helps? Is that what I'm known for now? I suppose it's better than what I'm known for back home.

[ FILTERED TO ANYONE HELPING FIND/DEAL WITH STRANGE ]
Last known coordinates as of a couple hours ago of Strange: coordinates

Apparently he was hiding in caves and disappeared from the location after fighting Carol and absorbing some of her power. Defense Team leads are advising people with powers to still keep away and that if anyone spots him, report in so Wanda can be told and a plan formulated.

Remember, somewhere in there is a version of the Strange we know and we can't punch our way through this one.

Anyone that has small kids or animals that need looking after while dealing with this, the Barnes-Ulric house is available to you.

It's a curious thing to be in corporeal form once again, though curiouser that my brother is not here with me. The possibility space is a fickle mistress, mind you, though Robert and I were one within it. Moving amongst the realities as we pleased. Being bound by form greatly limits what I am able to discover.

I must ask — what are the rules for procuring laboratory space?

[FILTERED TO THE FAMILY + EXTENDED/ADOPTED FAMILY + IN-LAWS??? this is a broad filter lmao]
You all knew this was coming and I am not sorry.

If it works well with everyone's schedule I would like to host a dinner here at the Sanctum this Saturday evening? It will be able to accommodate whatever group size we end up having, there will be some games (charades, the Mario Kart thing??) and I will handle the majority of the cooking. If you'd like to bring any appetizers or desserts, please let me know.

The family photoshoot is mandatory. :)

Billy is also making a very detailed family tree so we can look upon it in awe and maybe some confusion. He's working diligently and a little stressed out but he's got it handled.

I have matching t-shirts for everyone. They are also mandatory, and I have heard your requests loud and clear to avoid checkered patterns and polka dots.

Alright, good morning. Apologies for not checking in all the way yesterday - but I had to work both jobs and also am usually on Anka Irene's time.

But now that I have a moment - family check in right here? Everyone let me know how you are doing? I spoke with Iryna a little bit yesterday and it was very nice to meet you. Sil, it's a pleasure to meet you too although we didn't get a chance to talk. I am hoping you know who I am and a band of murderous Vallo mosquitos didn't do me in at some point in the future.

ETA: Brunch tomorrow, everyone? Let us know.

This morning on the way to the smithy I ran into a small herd of - well, they looked like metal deer? Their bodies were metal, their antlers were metal and had blades attached as well. I've never spotted anything like them before, and I'm in the forest quite a bit. Just wanted to check and see if any of you have encountered anything out of sorts and/or gauge if it's time for another Round of This Is Happening. Could be, could be something entirely different. Could be nothing.

I left the machine-deer be, by the way. They seemed spooked and ran off.

Rosh Hashanah will be upon us soon, and it's one of the holidays I do try to celebrate here - I can't say I am good about celebrating all of them, in accordance with my faith, but I have the time and space to at least try so that's what I plan to do again. I also plan to host a dinner at our penthouse, for anyone interested in attending and you don't have to be Jewish, you can just like food - the standard Rosh Hashanah foods will be available (challah, apples and honey, etc) but I also plan to rope my grandson Tommy into helping me make plenty of pierogi (surprise, Tommy). Everything will take place on the evening of September 6th.

One of the traditions for Rosh Hashanah is also to try something new, a hobby or a game or visit a new place, or make a list of what you no longer need and getting rid of those things - to make a donation. For that part, Anka Irene will help me - she has a lot of toys and clothes that could be donated elsewhere, and it's always a good feeling to kind of start fresh with things. Even if sometimes, here, we're forced to start over again very unexpectedly sometimes.
