AVENGERS & CO

Everyone good? Are any of you younger/older/needing help?

[ FAM & FRIENDS ]

Come out, come out, wherever you are.

I'm not upset, I just want to discuss this.

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.

[FILTERED TO AVENGERS]

Look what decided to show up just off the coast today.

It let me in without complaint, but Stark, if you want to check it over, probably couldn't hurt.

[FILTERED TO FRIENDS & FAMILY]

Alright, SO, my birthday's in two weeks. You all probably know I require more attention on my birthday than some - no gifts, though, I'm good there. In the absence of Disney (unless Vallo decides to be nice again 👀), I want to plan something fun. I'm not old enough for the wine-and-cheese night that Google suggested.

Karaoke? Escape room? But that wouldn't be fun for spy and spy-adjacent people. Rage room? Everyone here probably likes breaking shit sometimes. OR we could stick with the theme park idea and go to Blizzard World or Critical Role Land since those are more kid-friendly! (Pepper, please can the kids come?)

Opinions? Please help.

[ 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.

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.

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.

[ PARENTS + JAMES ]

So, how's everybody feeling?

[ PRIORITY TEXTS: TONY / PEPPER ]

» We have a problem.
» Lucifer's hell is here.

[ TBD TEXTS TO CAROL ]

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.

I encountered some aggressive mushrooms in the forest on my run. They're not fast, but I also don't know if they're coming out of some kind of pre-spring growth or if there's any real threat. Best to not be surprised, though that's not uncommon for the forest.

Sidenote: when I say aggressive, I should note they also had.. faces. With teeth. So not your average ordinary shiitake.

( The Stark thing. The 'imagine a grand solution to something that might not need more than a tiny solution' thing. Pepper Potts would have, once upon a time, suggested a fountain with some koi fish. Pepper Stark was halfway to city planning a park. )

[ FAMILY & FRIENDS* ]

While part of Vallo is living the Black Friday Earth stereotype, Tony and I didn't have to do a single thing for Vallo to get us the best Black Friday deals of our lives.

Morgan Stark and Francis Barton (now the second Francis) are both here. According to the kids, Morgan is five and Francis is three, so Morgan has experienced losing her dad about a year ago, but Francis hasn't lived through any part of Ultron.

We're going to take things slow traffic-wise in the Mansion today and going into the weekend so they can see people they know and adjust to any changes due to time points and timelines, but we're so excited to be able to share them with all of you soon. We'll be making some changes to both our schedules from this point forward, but all SIV projects will continue on schedule, including the Tower.

[ ooc: if you think your character is a friend or family, they are ]

Now that monsters and magic are hopefully back under control and no one else is turning into things to gaining random abilities.

December 21, I'll once again be hosting a Yule party. Though this time it will be in conjunction with the celebration of the opening of Æsir Vineyards, my newest venture in my mission to dominate the alcohol business in Vallo along with Thor.

Everyone 18+ welcome! Location and details to come soon.

[ Pixie, Jacob Stone, Thor Odinson, Lucifer Morningstar, Rory Morningstar, Pepper Potts, Tony Stark, Wanda Maximoff, Brigitte, James Rogers, Atreus, Francis Barton, Freya, Kratos, Natasha Romanoff, Sabrina Spellman, Steve Rogers ]

The evening of December 1st you are all invited to a soft-launch of Æsir Vineyards. Dinner, drinks, and Yule gifts. Please feel free to bring a plus one or two, just let me know who you're taking so I can have enough food for everyone. I hope you can all be there.

A general question for the Vallo masses: WHY are your squirrels so damn violent?!

The dreamy nap was definitely nicer than the squirrels, but it did not work well with trying to keep an eye on the outside of Morningside. Are we still good in this part of the city?
