War Is Coming Communications.

Going out! Got a hot date with a DJ who likes playing Ke$ha and Gaga as much as I like dancing to them. It's a Saturday night and I am not sitting around feeling horrible wondering why I wishing I could hate being bored. There's too many pretty boys in this city not to see who's buying me what tonight!

Open invitation, anyone who wants can come with, but I would suggest you look FABULOUS!

So, I'm making up a big batch of healing potions. Should be done in the next hour or so. Whoever wants one, just let me know and I'll bring it your way. I'm not going to force them on everyone, I get some people don't trust potions and shit, but the offer's out there.

I should have done this fucking days ago but I'm a twat and had shit on my mind. Sorry about that.

I'm sorry for freaking people out when I... you know. I didn't mean to. But I'm okay now. Um. Yeah, I don't know what else to say about that whole situation considering I'm still not sure how I'm okay now, but I'm not complaining at all.

How's everyone else?

So...does this make me a zombie now? Not a fan of them. And I'm way too solid to be a ghost. So...guess I'm alive again. And I don't even have a clue how to

[Peter P]
I'm sorry
I'd do it again if I
I just hope you can

I'm sorry I scared you. You weren't hallucinating. It's really me.

Annnnnd there's that apocalypse everyone's been bragging about.

Gotta say, this has all been less than fun.

(Steph)
You okay?

I can truly say this wasn't how I wanted to meet so many of you, but I'm grateful I've been able to help. It seems the worst of the battles outside have passed for the moment.

Those in the medbay with more minor injuries who have someone to take them home may leave at any time. Still plenty I would simply feel more comfortable keeping for further observation. And many...well. Settle in because you may be here a while.

[Medbay Staff]
As it's so crowded right now, I don't think it's entirely foolish to suggest one visitor per patient. I wouldn't want to deny anyone the chance at visiting those they're worried for, but one at a time seems to work in such scenarios.

Well.

Shit.

Jack, I have a new sympathy for all the stuff you go through.

Rose, are you okay? Tell me you're okay.

Medbay, patients, who do we have, who needs what?

And does someone want to tell me what the hell happened?

i might need some help

I need to talk to you. About this stuff with Andrew.

Hey. So. I totally thought of something.

I don't have powers, but I've never had them or anything. I know how to fight and stuff without them since, you know. Never had them. But um. I'm not trying to be insensitive here or anything, just trying to watch out for people. But don't a lot of you other masks rely heavily on your powers when you fight? Like your strength and agility and stuff? So like... Sorry if I'm being mean without trying to, what if you guys don't know how to normal-person fight?

So... I'm up for sparring with pretty much whoever to see where we all stand on the combaters. I mean, I'm admittedly not the best normal-person fighter ever, or even here, but it's something?

Hey. I'm Dick Grayson. Rose told me you're interested in learning self defense. Considering what's coming, what say you about having a crash course?

Listen up folks.

Some of you know that my husband is a prophet of the Lord. Some of you don't. Well occasionally when there's major angel/demon/Lucifer related things about to happen, he gets a head's up. That happened late last night, but he didn't get a chance to pick up on details and now he's practically comatose from the pain.

Long story short, something Lucifer-related is about to go down and it's going to be bad. No, he doesn't know what exactly. What I'm saying now is that we should all start preparing. I know we don't have details on what to prepare for, but patrols should start beefing up/becoming more frequent, and no one should go anywhere alone. Those of you who've been to the camp and know how to shoot and fight, or those in general who know how - even if its just defending yourself - get armed, stay armed. If you need a gun or knife, come by the Roadhouse; I've got a pretty large supply of weaponry I've massed over the last couple of years and I can loan or give you something that suits. Archers, I know that Clint & Robin have been making bows for a few months now, so if you need one I'd recommend going to them and stocking up on arrows.

Just because we don't know what's about to happen doesn't mean we can't get ready for general bad. I hope we all get through whatever this will be


ETA: Marian has offered extra lessons in archery and sword practice for those who need it. If people want to come by the saloon today, I can work on knife practice. If anyone else wants to offer up any extra lessons/help, let me know here so I can add to this post and those wanting the lessons can reach you.

Natasha is offering up hand to hand combat training.

So after realizing I totes missed THE BEST shopping day of the year, I realized I have got to get a job. But not baby-sitting. After what happened with Dom, Elijah, and Billy... Better not. And then I thought 'well what if I suck at it?' But after reading these real winners of the work force, I figured I can't possibly be worse than that. I win!

So if anyone needs me like any of you ever would, I'll be online, filling out about a hundred job applications. And then getting hooked up with all that 'legal' paperwork to actually, you know, work there if they hire me.

So, I know I'm not the most social person ever and a lot of new people have showed up and I haven't even said hi, so. Hi. I'm Chuck. AKA Jo's husband, AKA "that beardy dude with the laptop who kind of lurks in the Roadhouse, who even is that?" - yeah, that's me. Hey.

Basically I'm just throwing this out there 'cause I know Jo probably will otherwise and I figured it's kind of a good excuse to make an attempt at being social-ish... basically? There will be a ton of food at the Roadhouse for Thanksgiving. Probably enough that, if it was just us, we'd have leftovers until Christmas. Like, literally.

So, if you don't have plans, but you kind of want plans, even very loose plans that mostly just involve really large amounts of food, or you don't know the holiday but it sounds kind of awesome (because, being thankful + food, basically), feel free to swing by the Roadhouse after around 5pm Thursday. I think the turkey will be done around then. Turkeys, rather. There are multiples, 'cause I figured once I put this out there, one wouldn't be enough.

So. Yeah. Dinner starts at 5 if you want to eat with us and do the whole real Thanksgiving thing. After that, even if you had a dinner somewhere else but you kind of feel like leftovers, we'll have plenty for probably a couple days, at least, depending on how many people show up, so don't be afraid to pop in.

...Also the cranberry sauce is real cranberry sauce. I feel this is important to note. I don't mess around with the canned stuff, it's all wiggly and that isn't even sauce, why would they call it that? It's either Jello, or lies, and I make my own because that's the way to do it.

Um, yes. That is all.

Iam sososososoooooo sorry youhave no idea hw sory i am i wsa theworstr jerkeve rand idont no how ppl thaat know still talk too me orlik eme bcos i hat emyseelf fr it andi dnot deserve good thiing s and im sory ive beeeen ignoring u but i cant realy face u rite now cos i jusst cndat andi thnik about it eeeevvvvveeeeerrrrryyyy day sense thn and im sooooo sory and i juust dont even know rite now

[Andrew, Charley, Amy, Ginger, Kurt, Marguerite, Tom S., Wesley, Faith, Rose, Lois, Jonathan, Andrea, Xander, Steph, Jack, Lexi, Epiphany, and Spike. I hope you appreciate this Andrew, because fuck.]

So Ginger and I were talking earlier and she pointed out that that ridiculous American holiday with all the food and not!football is this week. And insists this means we need to hang out and drink and eat things. Andrew agrees with her, so I guess you're all invited to me and Andrew's flat on Thursday for aforementioned hanging out and drinking and eating. and you can bring significant others and extra food and shit if you want.

Fuck, it is going to be so fucking cramped in there.

Seeing as it's been a very long time since it's been done, I think maybe it's time those of you leading classes here for the displaced spoke up and introduced yourselves. We keep mentioning that they happen but some of our new arrivals don't know what they're getting into until they go to their first ones.

So if you're running a class, introduce yourselves. Say what you teach and why it might help. Say where it's located. Or, if you're not running anti-Apocalypse classes but still have something important to contribute to the displaced (for example, those of us from the Seal eat and drink at the Roadhouse for free, THANKS JO!), let everyone know.

That being said, hi new people! Particularly new teenagers and pre-teens. I'm Rose Tyler and I run a youth center in the city. We offer various classes, including dance and martial arts, sports, homework assistance, and general after school activities like movie days, a skate park, video game marathons, and even a sort of mentoring program for those who just need someone to talk to. You don't need to come every day, you don't need to stay for any length of time. It's basically just a safe place to meet kids your age (displaced and non-Seal-spat) and have some fun.

Next?

The Kat Warbler Express isn't needed. We're going first class. Tuesday evening, be packed and ready by the time I get home, k?

Alright, so been a while since I've said anything about this and I know we've had more than a few rounds of new people coming in. Figured its about time the memo went back out.

The vampires around here. Some are alright, some are evil, some are that lovely little middle ground in between. There are different kinds with different abilities and characteristics. If you want to know more about them, my name's Peter Vincent, I offer lessons on vamps. What makes some okay while others are bad, how to defend yourself, etc.

If you don't care to have the lessons, that's your call, but at the very least, I'd recommend you start taking vervain - some of the vamps around here have the ability to compel people (mind control, basically) and the vervain will keep them out of your head. Make it into tea, carry a sprig on you, whatever works best for you. I can supply you with some, and there's more growing in the garden on the complex roof.

So yeah. Questions? Comments?

Where’s Andrew? Spike said Andrew is here.

And he’s not going to eat me, right? He said he isn’t, and I know he’s been helping Buffy and the gang back home some but, I’m pretty sure he could eat me if he wanted. I don’t think I’d taste very good. Do we taste different depending on what we’ve eaten because I’ve been living on Mexican for the last few months and I’d think that could be kind of stale. Or something. I don’t.

Uh, is this working? I think its working. It looks like its working, but I’m also not completely convinced I didn’t knock my head on something and am dreaming this whole weird fiasco up.

Hello?
