[ Overwatch's ranks aren't quite what they used to be. With that being the case, there aren't exactly a whole lot of people they can send to check things out when something weird happens. As one of the few black ops guys who stuck around, McCree winds up being that guy a lot.

This latest mission takes him to the Pacific Northwest, which isn't McCree's favorite spot in the world considering he is very much a creature of the desert, but it could be worse. He's been tasked with checking out an old warehouse on the waterfront after some kind of anomaly. He's not too sure on the details, but Winston had spouted a lot of technobabble- dimensional distortion, multimodal reflection sorting, blah blah science- and McCree basically came away from the briefing retaining "go in there and see if you find anything". He could do that, at least.

He lets himself into the place via a second-story window, and eases onto the catwalk that encircles the perimeter of the inside of the warehouse. The place is nearly empty, aside from a few stacks of forgotten crates, and copious amounts of dust and cobwebs. It's edging up on dusk, so it's getting difficult to see, but McCree would rather play it safe than just shining a flashlight around willy-nilly. He slinks around on the catwalk, trying to use the quickly fading daylight to spot any sign of movement below. ]

[ Lindsey was… learning. Coming to terms with the fact that it was his own bitterness that was blocking off his magic was an uphill battle, but he was getting better. More often than not these days, his magic came when he called instead of only manifesting to protect Lindsey’s own life, and the more he used his magic to help others the easier it became to be at peace with his situation.

It was a definite cycle, but Lindsey was finding his rhythm.

The fact that he was somewhat more in-tune with his powers was probably what allowed him to feel the strange shift in reality, like cold fingers running down his spine. The sensation made him jerk upright, wide awake at three in the goddamn morning. Against his better judgment, he tossed and turned for a little while, hoping that if he ignored it, the cold and extremely unsettling sensation would go away.

It did not, in fact, go away.

With a loud groan and a few choice words for the universe, Lindsey hauled himself out of bed and got dressed to follow the pull of whatever force that was guiding him to whatever the hell weird thing had presumably crash-landed in this reality.

The fact that it was dark outside hardly bothered him, but the fact that it was a little chilly definitely did. He was just lamenting not grabbing a jacket as he approached the park where his magic was leading him.

He’s only gotten like an hour of sleep. This better be worth it. ]

[ Things had started simply- a visit to Inaba to see Rise and all of her friends. He liked her friends, hung out with them when he could. He'd actually been featured briefly on the local news for helping out with the face painting at a festival in town.

Rise had been furious with him, told him he was careless, though he never did find out why.

That was days ago. He doesn't know where he is or how he got there, and even though he keeps trying to tell himself that this place can't be real, part of him knows it must be. The air is thick with fog, and every passing day it gets harder to breathe, harder to think. He doesn't dare wander out of the room he's in, it seems to be the only safe place here. There are things in the hallways.

The building, he thinks, must be some kind of warehouse. It reminds him a little of JT's studio, only viewed through the lens of Sam Raimi or Ridley Scott. It's dark, dank, full of dismembered limbs, both human and non, masks of every size, shape and species and defunct mannequins in piles. There's liquid latex running down walls in fat, slimy globs and steam curling in the corners to mix with the fog. It would almost be cool, if not for the occasional casket. The occasional fire-ravaged American flag, drooping sadly from the ceiling.

He thinks that he must also be going crazy, because he keeps seeing someone who looks like him. A perfect doppelganger, if not for the bright yellow eyes and the hateful sneer on his face. His hand is hurting again, the old wound flaring up something awful. He can't move his fingers.

God damn it, he thought he was over this. ]

[ Since the Dark Ones had learned of Aria's existence in this world, the two blades often found themselves fighting tooth and nail to get by. Leroy was still out there somewhere, and the two swords were determined to find him.

It was a struggle sometimes, but if nothing else it brought them closer.

Today had been harder than most. They'd been taken by surprised by a hoard of lower level Dark Ones. The numbers had been nearly overwhelming, but when the dust cleared, their leader, a high ranking Dark One, had made himself known. The opportunity was too good, he'd said. He reveled in the chance to destroy the last of the Ragnarok Series, and take this new blade, and her power, for his own.

Exhausted though they were, they somehow managed to gain the upper hand, and win.

It left Ragnarok exhausted, though, and unable to leave his blade. Aria would have to carry him again. ]

[ Doctor Impossible knows all about alternate timelines, parallel dimensions, and the existence of other worlds. Even before he was trapped in the multi-demensional crossroads from hell so ironically called Haven for who knows how long.

A lot of things happened in Haven. A lot of terrible things, a lot of strange things, and... maybe some good things.

One good thing in particular- named Cecil.

The universe where Cecil's Night Vale lay had taken some finding- he'd run across a few mentions of it in other continuities, as an idea, or a series of books, or, in one instance, a podcast. He was used to sifting through the mire to find what he really wanted, and when he did, when all the tests were done and he was 100% sure, he fired up his trans-dimensional gateway and took a walk.

He was still somewhat surprised when no one was panicking at the hole in reality that had just appeared in the middle of town.

Well then. ]

[ So, what to you do when it's a slow day and you have nothing better to do?

Kidnap a dog (said dog belonging to someone who may or may not be your boyfriend) and build a pillow fort, of course. (Why the dog? Well, because your killer robot is too big, of course. That, and the guy who may or may not be your boyfriend is busy doing important pilot-y stuff or something.)

That's exactly what Gaige has done. She's watching old action movies on her laptop, curled up with Max. Somewhere in there, she must have dozed off. ]

[ It's been awhile since Jude's been more on Healing Duty than Fighting Duty, which might be an odd thing to happen to a medical student-- but his life had been a series of odd events lately, so Jude didn't find it all that strange. Right now, his attention was focused on casting Healer, eyes narrowed on Talim's injury and then flicking up to her face to make sure that she wasn't still in pain. ]

How does that feel?

[ WELP, Malik was lost. It was sort of embarrassing to think that he could become separated from a bunch of kids, but he at least had faith in their abilities to look after themselves. (Even if Asbel was... well, Asbel.)

These woods were totally unfamiliar, so there was nothing for it but to do his best to look for a sign of the others. ]

[ I HAVE THE WORST POST TITLES SERIOUSLY WHY DO YOU LET ME DO ANYTHING

Alright, so this? This would be the ocean. Well, more specifically, this would be a pirate ship in the middle of the ocean. Despite the flag flying high and proud, the pirate ship in question hasn't done much pirating lately. That sort of happens when your captain ends up falling into the services of the god of death.

It's been quiet lately, though. On both the god of death and the pirating front- you'd think a lack of the former would give time for the latter, but it's not to be. So the Dead End Moon is left to cut surely through the waves, looking for all the world like she has a destination, when she really doesn't.

The captain of our intrepid yet aimless vessel is perched in the crow's nest, spyglass to one eye. He's looking for something, anything, because he's likely to catch cabin fever at this rate. And we really don't need a musical number right now. ]

[ It was a dark and stormy night.

What? It was.

Anyway, the rain was coming down in sheets when a cloaked figure collapsed outside of the gates of Castle Dunbroch. He wasn't injured, at least nothing serious beyond a few scrapes and bruises. Cold, sick, and exhausted? Most certainly. He was brought inside, and it quickly became apparent, thought the insignia on his armor and the papers he carried with him, that he was a Grey Warden. There were only stories about the Wardens this far out, and everyone had to wonder what one was doing so far from his home. Hopefully nothing having to do with the creatures the Wardens were famous for fighting.

But far be it from the king and queen to deny a Grey Warden shelter. He was kept secluded, mostly. Only a few members of the castle staff kept an eye on him, and no matter how much the triplets tried to get a glimpse, they never managed. The castle was buzzing with gossip for over a week, as the exhausted Warden in the tower room rested and healed.

And then, on a relatively quiet day, once the weather had warmed, the Warden emerged. No one was quite sure how he got from his room to the castle's training yard without being noticed. He was just... suddenly there, loosing arrows at a target with deadly accuracy. Obviously, a visit to the king and queen had been first on his list, but since they were both away on some business or other, he contented himself with some exercise.

He feels like he's been in that Andraste-be-damned bed for way too long. ]

[ The residents of Casa de Rikku will get a rather rude awakening this morning in the form of Cliffjumper's Haunter freaking the hell out. Yes, Cliffjumper has magically vanished from his usual spot next to Rikku while everyone else was dead asleep. The Ghost pokémon seemed to be the first one to notice as he drifted through the wall of the bedroom.

The sudden appearance of a big red car in the front yard has also got Tanta a little startled. ]

[ there are very few fights where Kasuga has found herself backed - no, slammed into a corner, and she's loath to admit it, but without Sasuke, she can't confidently say she would still be alive.

But she is, and he is, and although their opponent still lives, he's doing so at a safe distance-- far enough for Kasuga to dazedly drag herself up against a nearby tree and fumble for her medical kit. Sasuke-- she'd lost sight of him, and she leans back against the trunk with a ragged breath before she turns her head to see if she can spot him now. ]

[ Leif Helgarson is nothing if not patient. For a thousand years he has waited for this- the day that he finally gets revenge. The day they sneak into Asgard. The day he kills Thor.

Unfortunately, that day was tomorrow, but what was one more night after a thousand years? He'd just slaughtered a whole mess of young vampires intent on invading his territory (his territory being the entire state of Arizona), and now he had the rest of the evening to kill- figuratively speaking. Just as well since something his Druid friend, Atticus, mentioned to him has his interest piqued: Atticus had said that Thor was a comic book.

Why anyone would want to make a comic book about that arrogant, self-centered--- well, why anyone would want to make a comic book about Thor was beyond him. And so the vampire spent the evening in his office at the law firm of Magnusson and Hauk in front of his laptop doing a few idle searches.

Ah. Now he understood. Complete and utter ignorance was why there was a comic book about Thor. This selfless, heroic character was the polar opposite of the real Thor. ]


You will get your comeuppance, God of Thunder. I can promise you that.

[ Not that Leif was one to talk to himself, but he figures he's allowed a little bit at this point. ]
