Today is Memorial Day back home, which I don't really feel qualified to speak on (take it away, Steve). But I looked it up, and it's also Put A Pillow On Your Fridge Day in the U.S., which is supposed to bring you prosperity and good fortune.

So, Lena, Tasha - leave my pillow where it is. It's not just me being messy. Em, I'm about to do the same at your apartment, you're welcome. 💜

[ TEXTS: THALIA / JAMES ]

» You.

[ NETWORK: FLYING BROOM MAKERS, MINDERS, AND ENTHUSIASTS ]

Even with setbacks, I have broom bases ready to evolve. Who's ready to make some magic - literally?

I would like to request all the cute animal pictures, please and thank you.

» Did you see the disappearance notification?

As much as I love the slow pitch game and an extra excuse to drink on a weeknight, I've got some excess energy to burn today. The skin-crawling restlessness has been hitting me hard, and I'm guessing I'm not the only one who could stand to blow off some steam.

How many supers or enhanceds out there are up for a Clash of the Titans-style baseball game tonight? Full strength, liberal use of powers (not against each other, but in the pursuit of the ball), no holding back.

Kamala, Rogers Sr. and Jr., Kratos, Stark, consider yourselves drafted.

EDIT: Come by to the Avengers Compound grounds [coordinates] any time tonight between 6-7pm. Spectators welcome, food and drinks provided. Teams will be picked then and there, as soon we get a final player total.

What the hell is wrong with your turkeys?

Vallo this is so not cool it's still my birthday month!!

Hello from 2033.
I know there are some anxious people on your end wondering what's been going on - everyone who decided to travel forward with Caleb and Essek have arrived safely and are now situated with us.

As you can see we are able to communicate across the timelines at the moment using the journals some of us managed to keep over the years. If you'd like to check in with your friends and family who travelled feel free to use this entry to do so.

While the journals will be usable for the next while here we are asking for everyone to refrain from spamming too much. All magic usage is a risk, this included. We are also asking that no one mentions any specifics to the plan, the journals on our end will not leave our safe zone, but should we be ambushed here we do not want any details falling into the wrong hands. As well please keep in mind our journal stock is limited and we are all sharing only a handful, your conversations may be viewed by others.

If someone can give me a quick "hey I see this" that would be great. We are fairly confident this should work but let us know for sure.



(( note: timeline wise today this will be written once everyone is back at the outpost and has had enough time to get sorted, so late afternoon/early eveningish ))

[ FAMILY ]

Hey, Mom, I've got a joke for you, since Dad already knows this one.

Which one of the Avengers is always in a hurry?

[ooc: I remembered my favorite Steve & James texts, sue me.]

[ ooc: backdated to the 17th because I legitimately thought TODAY was the 17th ]

[ FAMILY & FRIENDS OF TORUNN & JAMES ]

Not telling everybody a plan ahead of time counts as not making a big deal for a birthday. That's just facts.

But Tor's not getting out of a birthday dinner, so if you're free in a couple hours, around seven, or even after that, come to the Mansion. We're doing take out as a buffet and watching movies in the ballroom.

And yeah, we'll actually shut up during them.

Friendly reminder to come on down to the Ice Dragon for all your boba and/or ice cream related cravings. It'll be well worth your time, I promise!

I'd like to request your weirdest Valentine's Day stories, let's see what you all have got.

[ BIG THREE ]

I know neither of you have your significant others here right now, and I'm in whatever weird flux state I am, sooooo pizza and movies tonight?

I'm locked in a closet with an Avenger and it's all the really rude demon babies' fault.


Okay, they're probably not demon babies, I'm guessing cupids because ~it's the season~, but they still have some serious attitude! They also did something to the handle and the hinges because we should have been able to get out by now. No offense to our new home, Starks, but this guy and I collectively have some great breaking and exiting skills.

[TEXT MESSAGES TO JAMES ROGERS]

» Nat’s in her feelings and needs love and squish hugs.
» Want to come watch James Bond and sandwich her with me?

I will take any and all recommendations on a forge that creates reputable weaponry, and whatever places exist where you can act out violently but doesn't include murder or arrest from the law. I'll pass on simulations.

Thank you.

GROUP TEXT: FRANCIS/JAMES/TORUNN
» Checking in. Hawkeye, have you seen the network?

Well, judging from the network scrolling I've done, I'm not sure a week is enough time to consider myself "acclimated" to Vallo. But it probably is enough time before I introduce myself.

Hey, Outlanders - Bobbi Morse. Just signed myself up for Defense Team A with the DOA this morning. (Captain Rogers, I hear that means we're working together again. Looking forward to it.) Gotten myself about a dozen bagels from Glenn since I've been here, a couple of new-arrival free drinks from the various bars, and heard some rave reviews about an Italian restaurant in "the Void"? Haven't tracked that down yet, but I will.

Any other suggestions for Vallo musts I should add to the to-do list?

[FILTERED TO FRANCIS BARTON]

Hi. I hope this isn't too weird for you, since we haven't officially met, but I assume you've heard I'm here. Pepper and Tony have told me all about you - and Kate has, too, actually. She's chatty.

I know I'm not the same person as your mom, and I wouldn't dare try to be, but I'd like to get to know you, if you'd be interested in that.

This place seems to attract the most fucked of them all so asking if everyone is okay is probably out of the question. Even if you thought you were okay, being told 'don't feel guilt' brings back all those memories.

I used to feel guilt for the many lives I had ruined. (At least until Leon told me to suck it up in a very Leon-version-of-nice way.) I get it, it wasn't me... I was mind controlled by a psycho, I was raised from childhood that way along with a bunch of other young girls to become killers and spies. It didn't makes me feel like the losses were not at least partially on my hands too. But I'm dealing with it. I have been dealing with it. And I am fully prepared to let everyone know all the things about Dreykov in case he comes through and somehow gets in our heads again. So you can help deal with him.

I just have to keep telling myself I'm not a killer. I was just robbed of a life, of a childhood.

I have slowly started to come to terms with that part of my life, that now I can fully confess my other guilt which is that the sweater that Kate lost months ago along with Natasha's high heels were borrowed by me and I lost them along the way. I let them think there were Vallo gnomes that made their way in and stole them.

[ PARENTS + JAMES ]

So, how's everybody feeling?

War has been declared on the training grounds. It's a very snowy battle. I invite others to join my team or be buried in snow with James and Francis.
