If this month's systematic attacks have disturbed you as much as they have me, and the theft of Stark's property has left you without a secure place to plan, Genosha Tower is always open to you as a base of operations.

You'll forgive me if I don't invite you to move in just yet, however.

So it looks like Steve's been 'released' too, huh? Punk didn't even say goodbye.

[ If you need him, he's sitting in his apartment and looking sadly at Steve's uniforn and shield. ]

Did I miss a memo about today being "Over Share With Everyone" day? So far I've had a number of... enlightening conversations. Whether I wanted to or not.

So uh, maybe this is a dumb question but. Is it just me or have things been particularly... sparkly... around here lately?

Alright, I've had all I could take of being here, but if we have to stand staying in this place the least we can do is get the lacrosse team going again. Danny, McCall, you guys are already in. Oh, Stilinski, too.

For the rest of you, we'll have tryouts. Ask any questions you have here, we'll try to help.

And this is why I never took that class in high school. I saw all those girls complaining about the little eggs they had to carry around and to tell you the truth, I kinda laughed.

Oh, and Bucky. We gotta talk. Things to discuss.

[ is that a guitar? must be a once-ler post ]

Halloween is coming up and here you can't assume,
That the stores will have that quality costume
But look not to a store and look to me
'Cause I'll customize one that's the best it can be!

Want to be a princess? I'll make you a gown.
Fully detailed, fluffy, and with a crown.
A suit fully tailored to be a fancy man
Or a realistic Pharaoh-- Make it I can.
Look like food, pinata, a famous rockstar
Have a costume of a robot transformed to a car.
Be it a doctor, sheriff, ballerina, a cat
Any kind of costume with a big silly hat-

I'll sew it, knit it, make props all for you
All for a price of 15.92~~ do do do.

[ and done! he puts the guitar aside and clears his throat ]

Ehem, so! Here is my assistant, Mister Peaches, with an example in little pet form. [ holds up a tiny bunny. the bunny is wearing a very detailed astronaut suit ] Isn't he the cutest little guy you ever saw~?

[ The guy this is from is taking this very well. Professional voice with a slight amused tone to his voice. Chill as a cucumber. ]

Not exactly what I was expecting.

New Moore, was it? Hello. I'm the fictional Agent Phil Coulson of SHIELD. Anyone know a good tailor?

Well, I'm sure you all heard that less than pleasant announcement from our dear friend the Commodore? Don't worry yourselves too sick over it, he's not taking any of you kids as long as I have anything to say about it.

Not that you're all helpless, I trust that you can hold your own out there if you venture out. That being said, if you want to head onto land check in with The Countess before just to be sure. She'll make sure you're not stickin' out like a sore thumb out there.

And why do all those scruffy navy types have to be such killjoys? I'm not going to believe there's no treasure or curse unless I get solid proof. Right, kids?

Uh, Stark? Is your robot butler guy feelin' okay? He's... kinda creeping me out right now.

Meyer, new cell phone idiots do? It is a full text search.

[ TEXT TO STEVE, CLINT & DEREK ]
I'm sorry. I'm back to normal now, I promise. I don't blame you if you wanna avoid me for a while.

[ ACTION FOR NATASHA ]
[ After sending the texts, he heads up to the roof. She had texted him earlier and he was finally ready to try to start... understanding all of this. It was still fuzzy in his mind, like a terrible nightmare that you can't shake. He was rubbing an scratching at his arm - his flesh arm - as he approached her on the roof. ] Hey...

Who: The Avengers and other cleared individuals
What: Tower cuddle pile et. all
When: Nowish
Where: The Avengers' Tower
Warnings: Troublemakers, potential drug use, awkward cuddle piles, children masquerading as grown men, Iron Cat

The Avengers' Tower is never a dull or quiet building. There is always something going on somewhere in the tower, and today is no exception. Whether that something be tinkering in the two story open lab/work room. A sparring session. Working out. Dinner or one of 24 other meal times observed by various individuals of the tower. (What do you mean it's 4:30 am? That's when Tony does his best work.) Or one particularly trigger happy robot dousing people who venture too near with extinguisher foam.

Whatever the case, it is sure to never be a dull moment.

[ A gunshot can be heard right when the audio kicks on. ]

Christ, this is crazy bullshit.

Anybody out there need help? Let me know, we'll try to get to you and bring you back to a safe area.

Alright, everyone, listen very carefully! It appears that the entire town has been flooded with monsters - I'm not familiar with all of them, but I am familiar with several of them, and there are a couple things you all need to know about them!

First, if anyone sees a stone statue of a weeping angel, keep looking at it! They are quantum locked - in the sight of any living creature, they literally turn to stone. But if you turn your head away - if you even blink - they'll be on you in an instant. They are fast, faster than you would believe. If they touch you, then it's all over - they send you back to the past and consume all the days you might have had. Oh, and be careful - they can also drain the lights, even when they're in the stone.

So keep watching, don't even blink - but don't look at the eyes. Look anywhere but the eyes. The image of an angel becomes an angel - if you look in the eyes, the angel will crawl inside your mind!

Second are the Silence. They are memory proof - you can't even remember they were there the instant you look away. They can draw lighting out of anything, and more than that, they can implant suggestions in your head while you're looking at them. It's like post-hypnotic suggestion - you can be doing things and not knowing why you're doing them. If anyone around you is behaving odd, it's possible they're acting on the orders of the Silence.

If you are facing the Silence, try to keep one in sight at all times! If you can, mark yourself in some way so you know you've had an encounter.

Now! I have the TARDIS, and I can come pick people up. If you see a weeping angel, or if you need rescuing from anything, let me know and I'll be there as soon as I can!

Off we go then! GERONIMO!!


UPDATE: There are also green plant creature walking around. Do not get close to these or they will explode!

Also, the silence look like this. Everyone take a look - you'll forget when you're no longer looking, but you'll remember again if you see them. That way you'll know what you're dealing with.


[Private texts to Kaylee, Rose, and Jenny]

Where are you? Are you all right?

Since most of the daytime celebrations are children's pranks, Ukraine doesn't bother with those, waiting until about an hour or so before dusk to start setting up on the beach. There's a nice big wooden picnic table that she manages to drag onto the sand and cover with food and drink before she turns her attention to building and lighting a few bonfires, making sure they're all different sizes. There's even a small one for the Westerners to jump over if they shy away from the idea of vaulting across five feet of flames. It's a little disappointing that there isn't a river, but part of the forest is right by the beach, so it works out well enough for her satisfaction.

As soon as people arrive, Ukraine appears beside them to cheerfully drop a large wreath of flowers on their heads and explain the traditions so no one is lost, then thank them for attending and shoo them off to flirt and chat and whatever else it is kids do these days.

So... Steve's birthday is the fourth.

Anybody up for throwing the little guy a party?
