War Is Coming Communications.

We have two options.

One: Stay in Lawrence next week and celebrate Thanksgiving like proper not-quite Americans. Well. Except Tony but he's practically British now anyway.

Two: Get out of dodge for a few days. Anywhere.

Thoughts?

[Doctor]

And if we do stay and do Thanksgiving, Caroline has invited us to her celebration. I can put on my polite-to-Klaus face for a few hours.

....also I hope it's okay I've pretty much kept Toby. Oops?

does anyone want to start telling me the truth or do I have tog oget stabbed by a fewmore hunTERs to get some
answers
arOUnd here>?

(ooc: immediately following this.)

Okay. I'm still kind of at a loss for a Halloween costume. Davina suggested Hans Solo, but isn't Jacen one of his kids? I think I'm one of the last people he'd want in that costume. So...does anyone have any ideas? Because if not I'm considering going as one of the Ghostbusters.

[Khan]

So. You and Mol
Are you actua
How the hell do you get a girlfriend?

[OOC: No blank message for Khan!]

Nix wins for Halloween spirit.

( Picture behind the cut! )

And Regina, I'm sorry he chewed up your jack o' lanterns. But really though, too perfect.

[Regina & Greg]
At least the nursery's looking good?

So we've been doing the Halloween party at the Center for the last few years but I don't think anyone wants two almost identical parties. Which is fine because it's Fall Carnival time!! So for some family friendly goodness, everyone can head to the Youth Center on October 25th. Costumes are encouraged! Costume contest for the kids, a big bonfire at night, hay rides during the day, games, and all the usual Halloween goodies! Looking for volunteers to help, too!

Then that Sunday, the 26th? Bridal shower for one Ms. Eponine Thenardier (while she's still going by that name!) Location is the same, only much more grownup, low key, and likely mostly the ladies.

Any questions, dear people of Lawrence?

[Eponine]

Oh, PS, you're having a bridal shower. It's on the 26th? Love you!

Do you want a bachelorette party? Because we so can, but it's your call.

...is the Seal taking steroids?? Cause wow.

That being said, HI! I'm Rose Tyler and I'd like to officially welcome all the newbies to Lawrence. And by "welcome", I mean I'd like to invite you to attend a class we offer here called Welcome to Lawrence. Does what it says on the tin. We go over everything from basic demon defenses to the extra classes we offer to how to settle in with careers and school. And you absolutely can have a job, go to school, do volunteer work, anything. I've been here three years now so I do have a vague idea what I'm talking about. We'll meet Tuesday night at 8pm at the Lawrence Youth Center.

And what a brilliant time to plug my own baby...the Lawrence Youth Center. It's meant to be an after school thing for teens, starting around age 12 (we've made the occasional exception for the displaced) all the way to age 18. We offer classes, tutoring, sports, crafts and art, music, even video games. It's mostly meant to be a place where kids can go and have fun. We're open till 7 Monday through Friday and from 8am to 3pm on Saturdays. So new teens, feel free to swing by!

Questions? Discussions? Random declarations of love?

On a scale of one to terrible parent, how bad is it of me to be encouraging the babies to say "mama" before they say "dada"?!

They're nearly four months old now and they're making noises that might eventually form words. I just want those words to be me before Jacen! That doesn't make me too horrible, right?!

Actually, their first words will probably be Kyp or cat.

So. Hi.

I hear you're doing best man duties for a certain upcoming wedding. And since it is my goal in life to make sure this wedding goes off brilliantly, I wanted to see if you had any questions. There's books and reference sites, too. So many websites.

Modern weddings are pretty different than 1832 weddings so if you need any help, just ask!

Right.  My dog's just had puppies.  There's five of the wriggly little fur balls that need new homes.

Anyone interested?


And no, this is not a test.  Or a game.

Jack's gone.

[TARDIS people]

I'll get my stuff out as soon as I sort out a new place to stay.

They left "don't watch your own damn show" off the tips for survival in Lawrence manual. I'd say I won't be doing that again, but I'm pretty sure I won't be able to help myself.

( tiny spoiler from tonight's agents of shield )

[Probs Spoilers in the comments.]

I am due to be wed in little over a month but have absolutely no idea what I'm doing in the planning of it! Enjolras says I deserve a day and the dress and all of that but I still don't know. I'll look like a fraud dressed up all rich, and even if I don't, well other people can use that money more.

Can I do this, still have the dress and the pretty things, but not go overboard.

Help?!

[Enjolras]

November 2nd. So you know!

How are you? How is he?

The TARDIS tea and chocolate stores have gotten low.

I'm thinking a trip to London to restock is in order.  Anyone else want anything?

[Rose Tyler]

If you're not too busy this weekend.  I'm thinking we could make it a weekend trip.  Maybe go to Brighton, go on the pier.  Have chips....

Right kids.  I know a lot of you aren't necessarily happy with the whole purgatory plan.

Well, neither am I.  Dad hid Purgatory away for a reason.  So well, even I don't know where it is.

And trust me, that's saying something.

Now, I've decided I like you kids.  So, I'm going to give you all a hand.  I can take on my big bro.  If you all give me hand with the rest of my siblings.

Once Raph is dealt with, they'll be aimless, and have no hope of reopening the cage to release my other brothers and restart the apocalypse.

As for how to fight angels, I reckon that there are still classes going on about that.  But, if you have any other questions.  Ask away.

[Winchesters and Bobby]

How are your Holy Oil stores?

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?

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?

Hin, hi guys. My name is Abby Sciuto and I'm at this beautiful cemetery, and I really do appreciate the irony and judging from what's around me, I think we're in Kansas, but I am not walking to the nearest town or city without my umbrella.

I should've packed.

Holy bananas, loads of new arrivals. Hi, everyone! Sometimes the Seal does this. Drops like, fifty people on us. It happens, it's cool. And on the plus side, it looks like a lot of you know each other. Always a bonus.

Anyway! I'm Rose Tyler and I run a class here called, shockingly, Welcome to Lawrence. It's basically a How-To Guide on how to deal with Seal life. The basic issues the Seal brings. How to get a job, go to school, which classes you can take here to keep yourselves safe. Which local places are owned by the displaced so you know who is more likely to tolerate you. The usuals.

We also cover the less pleasant parts of being here. You've been brought to a place with demons. To some of you, 'monsters' may be old hat. What you need to know is that the monsters here will be entirely different. And we're able to help with that. I'll walk you through the classes you'll need to be taking. Ones on vampires, deal making, etc.

Besides which...there's cake!

We meet at the Lawrence Youth Center (big brick building in the middle of the city, can't miss it!) on Tuesday night at 8. Open to everyone who's new and if you have problems with each other...don't. It's pretty simple. All I ask is tolerance and respect in my classrooms.

Good? Good! I'll see you guys there!
