War Is Coming Communications.

It never ceases to amaze me, how different this place is to home.  Inspite everyone saying there's a war brewing.  Unlike in NOLA, I can't see it.  Oh, I know there are demons and angels running around, making moves.  But, here life goes on.  I've missed that.  It's been a long time that I haven't had some sort of responsibility.  People to look after, a city to run.

Anyway, what I mean is, anyone else constantly worrying about what's going down at home?  Especially when we're not fictional, we have no idea.

Not that I don't appreciate the gift.  But, what exactly is it in aid of?

Yay for random insomnia? I mean, really. It's 4am, I've already been up for an hour and a half. Considering I have classes today, I don't see this ending well.

Oh lord, Halloween costume time again whaaat?? Why is it so stressful?! I should just learn to sew and make my own. JANIE!!! TEACH ME TO SEW!!!!

So far my choices consist of:
1) Elizabeth the First (another glorious redhead!)
2) Merida (curl my hair, get one of the spare bows, and halfway there!)
3) A fire fairy in honor of my fabulous new tattoo!
4) And, as always is an option, Regency-era me!

Thoughts? Ideas? ...alternate suggestions for super adorbs redheads??

[Against Evil]

The classes so far aren't that bad, the ones at the college, not the other ones. The other ones are really good. The college classes are pretty similar to some of the ones that I was taking at home.

Now I just need a job

Moving forward with improving arrival encounters.

1. We need to buy a building/space in a building near the graveyard.
2. We need to figure out exactly what jobs there will be for anyone who is on a team for graveyard greeting duty.
3. Who all wants to be on a team.
4. Funding.
5. Rotations.
6. Security feeds--which I think are already done.
7. How goes those teleporter watches?

Anything else?

So for FUNDING who's willing to chip in?
1. Kirk
2. Robin
3. Lee
4. Peter Hale
5. Natasha
6. Belle
7. Elijah
8. Ariel
9. Peter V.

For being on a potential greeting team, who's in?
1. Robin Hood
2. Marcel
3. Lissa
4. Rose (of the Lissa's friends variety)
5. Jo
6. Buffy
7. Skye
8. Claire Danvers
9. Ana
10. Hale
11. Ginger
12. Peter Parker
13. Rose Weasley
14. Kirk
15. Sydney
16. Natasha
17. Belle
18. Ariel
19. Peter V.

Ladies, we might as well all give up. Looks like we've been outdone by a real looker.

( Check it! Harry and Tony are total babes. )

Okay, Ward's post got me thinking about this. But with how the Seal is being a gigantic jerk and we don't have the one stop spot of the Complex really anymore. Plus most of us are spread out in our own places. We might want to fine tune how we help new arrivals.

The whole telling them over the boards about Hell and Heaven and being fictional is pretty damn jarring. And it can be a while before classes are available. Especially the welcome to Lawrence one depending on what else is happening.

So ideas on how we can streamline this so that people get helped quicker and aren't likely to explode too much? Or maybe there isn't a way to do it, but considering angels or demons could decide the graveyard is a great place to start hanging out and possessing newbies before they get amulets or the stuff that wards of angels we might want to come up with some ideas.

We've got cameras on the graveyard now, right?

Oh, right. Uh, I've been back since Sunday? I think I forgot to mention that. Oops?

[Friends]
Somebody remind me why I ignore the fictional side of Lawrence. I mean, it's only speculation, but...

Gonna just go bash my head into a wall now, k, guys? I know better.

Assuming Bobby gives me the okay, somebody wanna tag along to Minnestoa with me? I have classes tomorrow at KU, but it's only about a 9 hour drive, so...probably won't head out Friday anyway.

[Much]

Hi, Munchie. I missed you. I get it if you want to just be with Robin for a while but when you're ready, could I come see you? I kinda wanna hug you lots.

[Jane]

So. Honestly. Sister to sister.

How do you feel about Much being back?

[Peter P]

Saw a certain facetwin.

How are you holding up?

Got some hunts available.

If you ain't done the classes you ain't getting a hunt.
No one hunts alone.
Arguing ain't getting you anywhere with me.

1. Minnesota--Peter and Ward
2. Seattle--Tom and Hal
3. DC--Mal and Becker
4. Florida--Kirk and Charlie
5. Maine--Jo and Felicia

SCIENCE PENGUIN!!!!  I mean, it's not a monkey.  Fitz would have loved it if it was a monkey.

so someone said i could get on here for help so um help??????????????????????

Okay, Stark, you are master of making points. And thanks for turning off the ACDC today. The same song on repeat for days is not as okay in practice as it sounds in theory.

How weird is it to buy a shirt with your face on it?

But it's a really cute shirt...

Also, they still have not made a pack of all pink Starburst. But we're making progress, there's one with all the red shades.

Oh, and in less trivial things, have any of you new arrivals not taken Welcome to Lawrence and want to?

Hot blonde, you could have just asked for a job rather than breaking into my lab to leave me your resume.

Not that I'm not impressed. It just changes my plans for the evening.

[Attention Employees]

You all need to exit the building at 5pm sharp, or you will get locked in for a large portion of the night while Jarvis revamps the security system.

Don't go calling me if you get stuck. I've given you plenty of warning.

And here we go again. SO.

Welcome to the Post-Apocalypse...Apocalypse

Apocalypse?
Right. So you were pulled here by a magical Biblical Seal. Why the Seal pulled us is anyone's guess, some think its to help keep the world from falling apart, some think its because it's a big old jerk.

But we fought a war against Lucifer and some idiot Angels and somehow we won--go us--except now some even bigger idiot angels kind of want the war to continue so we're all still here. Trying not to let that happen.

Where the hell am I?
You're in Lawrence, Kansas and the year is currently 2014.

Why did I appear in a creepy graveyard?
Because the Seal is a giant troll.

Where am I supposed to stay?
We've got a few permanent residents you can try:
Greave's Aparments: ask for Kirk or Harry [ADDRESS]
The Inn: ask for Eponine [ADDRESS]
Sanctuary: ask for Florence [ADDRESS]
Kent Farm: must tolerate cows--but feel free to tip them over, I do--ask for Lois (me) or Clark [ADDRESS]

If you're like hell no, we can set you up in a hotel or give you some money to get yourself set up in a hotel. Also we've got gift boxes. They have like phones and a laptop and some VISA and MASTERCARD giftcards in them because we're nice like that.

I need to get home. People need me
We get it. We do. But you can't. Or at least not until the Seal sends you home.

But on the kind of plus side, no one will notice that you're gone because when you do return its to the exact point in time that you left.

Anti-possession amulets?
Remember, Apocalypse? Yeah, you can get possessed by demons so you'll want the amulet.
If you want the permanent tattoo talk to a Winchester. Or Bobby Singer.

So what do you do here?
That's up to you. There are monsters to fight if you want to do that. Or live a normal life if you want to do that. (and when I say monsters I mean the ones from this world. We've got werewolves and vampires and aliens and others that we do not lump into the monster group that the Seal brought here.) And I'm sure Rose will let you all know about her Arrival's Class that she offers to fill you in on all the details.

Oh right. Fictional.
You just might be. It's kind of a shock to find out you are. Hopefully you won't find out that 9/10 you're destined to fall in love with your best friend in the first five minutes of you being here. But sometimes people here are fictional in this world. Why we don't know. Chances are if you've heard of SHIELD or Sunnydale or Metropolis you're fictional. Congrats.

Need more info
Rose has a class at the Youth Center about everything ever. If we have a huge influx of newbies she'll usually hold the class at 8pm on Tuesday. There will be cake.

Questions?

[Filtered to Grantaire]

How are you? Are you okay? Enjolras says you're not feeling well and...well, I get why. Was just wondering.

[Friends Filter]

We're all going to Caroline's party. I require fun. Like, desperately need it.

I do mean all. Even you, antisocial boyfriend.

Alec? Are you here? It's too quiet in my head.
