So, my newly human existence begs the question of pesky things like vaccinations and such. I'd wager I'm 100% behind on all of them, considering I was last human in roughly the 10th century.

[Loki]
Would you figure the anti-possession tattoo you did for me before would still be effective, if, say, I was human now?

So.

Who wants to tell me why I'm here, and why I can't seem to leave?

It's rather unusual for me to find myself in a tight spot I can't worm my way out of.



Note: If you see a big blond oaf with a hammer wandering around, I've lost one. Please return him in roughly the condition in which he was found. No joyrides. I'll know.

As some of you are already aware, John Garrett, former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and self-identified H.Y.D.R.A. agent, has arrived in Lawrence. He can see this post.

He has not, at this time, given any indication that he has broken the truce nor displayed current intentions to do so. He has been informed of the situation in Lawrence and has been provided an amulet to guard against possession.

Further information regarding him may be found online, or you may speak to him yourself if you so choose; or not, if you wish. I am only attempting to keep you all informed of current events. In the loop, so to speak.

James wanted me to ask you if you would like to join us for Thanksgiving Dinner next week. He'd ask himself, but he's studying for midterms.

[Emma and Florence]
Tonight - or when you two are available - would you like to go out for drinks? It's been a while.

[Loki]
We haven't spoken in some time. How are you?

I've figured that I need to see if I can access my first magic, nature magic. But, I think I need a couple of people to stand by, just in case something goes wrong when I try this?

Anybody free tomorrow to help me out? Preferably someone who can put out fires, literally.

Hi
This is stupid
I'd be bad at counseling
I don't want to do this

>> You, Caroline, and I are having a spa day.
>> Happy belated birthday!
>> No, you don't get a choice.
>> It's a girl day.
>> You could use it, we all could.

I have noticed a fair number of new arrivals, recently, so it seems wise to offer some information, in case it was not already offered. I should have said something sooner. I

There is a facility for the teaching, practicing, and researching of subjects related to magic. It is protected from outside view, the threats of this place, and warded against both those with ill intentions and against accidental magical "spillage". There are further protections in place, as well. It is at [address], and it is open to anyone who meets the parameters - and while some areas are restricted, many areas are accessible by those who do not have access to magic, as well, if you wish to simply learn more about it. If you need a space or supplies for a specific spell, or to teach lessons, or something of that nature, I can make the arrangements for you.

Secondly, given the nature of this place and those who often arrive here, it seems wise to mention that I - and very likely a few others, if they choose to offer - can magically imprint the anti-possession tattoo without causing damage to skin, or any pain. This is ideal for those who cannot be harmed by traditional needles, or are too young to acquire one in that manner by a licensed "tattoo artist" from this world. If you are sensitive to magic, however, I would not advise it.

If you are not particularly busy tomorrow, I would benefit from further assistance. I feel it is nearly restored enough to work on it alone, but I would rather not take the risk of being complacent so soon.

Is everyone well?

How do you make someone feel better when they've been really, really hurt?

I feel like I'm new at this and I shouldn't be, really, but it's not like I have a whole lot of experience with things like this. Or people in general. Even if it is my own sister

I don't even know what she dealt with, let alone how to help her with it.

[Anna]

Come for a walk with me?

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?

I tried I honestly tried to be nice to that raging bitch vampire. I gave her a chance to prove she had some kind of humanity and she blew it

And she'll play it like I used what happened Sam to attack her. Not that maybe after 5 years I'm not about to walk into a situation where someone might die that's just doing what they think is right.

Seriously, am I wrong? Am I the one that's wrong here.

[Loki]

I need you to change someones memories. So they don't remember seeing Sam on a hunt.

I don't want to ask you, you've been through a lot, The ones I could think of capable are you, Solo and Gabriel. And out of that list you're the only one I trust. The vampires sure, but Hunters have mentioned vervain in the past and I don't want to kill this guy if it goes sour. He's just a Hunter. Like my family, like Jo or Bobby.

He's just doing what he thinks is right.

Okay, I have a question. And I'm going to try to keep this as neutral as possible. But I really do want to know what makes the difference in the cases of blatantly obvious double standards you see around here. What makes the hatred of one person over another any better or more accepted somehow? Why can people feel justified in hating one specific individual, but if anything is pushed against another, people are jumping at them for it? It doesn't make sense.

I was going to try and keep it generalized, but it's not working out. So I'll be specific. And, again, try to be neutral, here. But look at it with the various little dramas that are happening now. People are all levels of mad at Ward for his actions on Loki, they're hounding him for it, making him out to be the bad guy. Even though he has legitimate reasons to hate Loki, everyone cries that this Loki hasn't done those things yet, so how dare Ward hold it against him? Except those things have happened for Ward, so how is that even a little fair? To be honest, the only people I don't have issue with taking such offense here in this situation is the family. Because reasons don't mean shit when family comes into play and I know that better than anyone. So yeah, family types, don't go jumping down my throat for this one, yeah?

Meanwhile, Davina is completely justified in her vilification of my brothers for future actions they've committed against her and, more especially in Klaus' case, people don't tell her she's wrong for feeling the way she does at all. They don't tell her she should calm down or try to hound her over threats she's made toward him. Admittedly it was when she first showed up and, far as I know, she hasn't made any active threats since then, but I don't doubt the ones she made day 1 still hold true in her heart today.

So can you lot just explain this? Explain to me why there is such a difference. Why are these situations practically reversed images of each others? Ward has his reasons for what he did, but is barked at and vilified for it despite those reasons, while the little witch Davina can sit around hating on Nik and not be chastised for it. Is it that Loki's been here longer, done more good overall that makes the difference? Is it just that Davina is the sweet, innocent victim? I just really don't get it.

I would prefer not to be in Lawrence this evening.

Would you care to accompany me?

( PACKAGES SENT OUT TO: Lydia, Grantaire, Ward, Loki, and Tom (aka the people that Alison teamed up with during their crazy Hunger Games trip from hell.) )

(ooc: If I'm missing a person that Alison worked with, let me know! I know that she was with Loki/Tom planning to infiltrate the Cornucopia for supplies and I know she worked with Ward + tried to find some way to help Grantaire/Lydia. I AM BRAIN DEAD FROM SCHOOL, SO I COULD HAVE MISSED SOMETHING.)

I am sorry I did not return immediately. I know you would have preferred that I had, but it would not have been wise. Upon my return, I seem to have broken barriers in my mind that are ordinarily in place to keep order, and the overflow is painf upsetting for anyone able to sense it. I suspect that the desperation pani heightened stress I was under combined with my lack of magic was to blame. My attempts to access it in the other reality were more zealous than they needed to be, and that carried over into this world upon my resurrection.

I have managed to contain the worst of the damage, and should be able to place containment spells around myself at night to keep the rest from having a negative effect. I will be rebuilding everything as quickly as possible.

Mother, Davina - if either of you continue to be bothered by the remnants, do not hesitate to tell me. Please.

I will also be adding further wards to the house as soon as I have rested. If you wish to bring guests inside the grounds, I - or Mother - will have to remove a specific layer or add them into it. I apologize for the inconvenience, but I will not hav but it is not safe to but it is for the best, at the moment.

Oh for...

Loki? Seriously? I did not kriffing come out of drugged up juice land for the mother of all headaches.

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaack! No more ass pinching, boob grabbing, ale, rum, or pirates!

Lets everyone sigh in happiness together! Riiight now!

Now that that's done, a couple of questions:

Where's Loki? He didn't freak out because I was gone, did he? You around and paying attention, Dorbs?

ANNNND

How did everyone else fair? Everyone okay?

there are snakes. i do notrecall if anyone had mentioned seeing them so it seemed prudent to ddo so. i am not sure how qquickly their venom works but i wil soon find ou but they are definitely venomous . the y seem to congragate near wate r.

Were there any remaining supplies left behind at the place where we arrived?

Would those from Lawrence, Kansas please check in?

It seems being fictional once is not enough. Now I am in the pages of a book. I am weaker. Why? How??

We need to band together. We will not let them tear us down. There is a way to beat this, there always is. Now, where is everyone?

How much will we tell him?

I need someone capable of rewriting memories. Last few hours would do it.

I'll pay. Well no, Stark'll pay.

[Tony]

Back me up before your Avenger friends lose it over me asking this. Because I'm not in the mood and I'm doing you a hell of a favor here.

Oh, I had to knock Sanderson out. There were hysterics and he was riling the rest of them up. And I MIGHT have threatened them with an automatic weapon. But they're being quiet now
