Private

This feels ridiculous. Impossible. And yet the impossible has happened a thousand times before, so who am I to spit into the sky and say it's raining?


Family + Joel

Family, meet Joel. Joel, meet Family.

Joel's a very good friend of mine. He's going to start being a regular face around the table, so play as nice as you can.


Nori

First, I hope you're taking care of yourself. I miss you.

Second, it's possible I may have an idea what's got you rattled. Or I may be way off-base. But here's the thing: I just had a whole bunch of past life memories open up inside of me, and if that sounds familiar at all, then just know you're not alone.

Third, be safe. Home's waiting for you whenever you're ready.


Wanda + Bucky

So, this is weird. But it's good to know you're there. 

Wanda, I'm Steve. My name's still Steve, so that should be pretty easy. I don't know how this whole thing works exactly, but there's a movie with our faces on it coming out, uh, tonight. So consider me on speed-dial if you need me. [Number]

Actually, if you want, consider my house open to you tonight or any other night you need it. I'm going to go see it--I feel like I've got to--tonight. I'll have drinks and good foot and company waiting if you want to circle round.

This feels like a real long shot, but just in case...

Assemble?

Family Only

[nola_steve]

No boat that I'm aware of. I haven't asked him about a car.

Re: Family Only

[nola_steve]

Okay, okay, okay. A few things:

1. No one can steal someone from someone else.

2. Joel and I are not dating.

3. He is, however, very important to me. Tease all you want, but please don't make him feel unwelcome. He's been through a lot.

Joel

[nola_steve]

Yeah, I'm sorry about all this. It's all good-natured, though.

Re: Purple House Family

[nola_elphaba]

Uh huh!

Re: Purple House Family

[nola_steve]

Do you even remember the last person I dated? I'm not exactly Mr. Lothario, bebe. Man, I wouldn't even know how to begin anymore. Which is a depressing thought I'm going to take to my Worthers and house slippers.

Re: Purple House Family

[nola_elphaba]

Steve you're not 80

Re: Purple House Family

[nola_steve]

I'm not not 80.

Re: Purple House Family

[nola_elphaba]

But also Joel breaks up with Elspeth and then you're like here's your new dad, everyone????

Re: Purple House Family

[nola_steve]

Joel and I aren't dating, Maggie. But I would like to bring him over. I mean, I'd really like it if he felt welcome here.

Re: Purple House Family

[nola_elphaba]

He will. I've already offered him cake!

Re: Purple House Family

[nola_steve]

This is why I love you so much.

Re: Purple House Family

[nola_elphaba]

I love you too. And if Joel needs family we're here.

Re: Any comic book reincarnates

[nola_cyclops]

Yes. I'm happy to strategize with us. Some of our number, the people like me, won't want to be involved. But others will. I had assumed this might only be affecting people like me, so knowing you and Winter Soldier are here gives me something new to think about.

Re: Purple House Family

[nola_steve]

I really think he does.

Re: Any comic book reincarnates

[nola_steve]

Honestly, I thought the same. I'd assumed this was something to do with Thanos, but, well.

Our...movie...is coming out soon. Do you get updated memories whenever a new issue hits the stands, or have they been relatively static? It'll be good to have some forewarning if we're about to get hit with new memories.

Re: Purple House Family

[nola_elphaba]

Okay. We'll be friends.

Re: Any comic book reincarnates

[nola_cyclops]

I don't believe I have -- but the memories are hard to parse, and I don't assume that it's working the same way for all of us as it is. I guess you're about to find out.

For what it's worth: I've fought Thanos before where I'm from, as part of a strike force, alongside you. It's not something I ever want to do again and I'm sorry that it's been happening to you. This doesn't seem like Thanos at all, though.

Steve

[nola_buckybarnes]

It's okay. It's good practice for when me and you start dating for real.

Steve

[nola_faith]

Who are you?

Steve and Joel

[nola_wanda]

You're a sociology professor, right? I've taken a couple of your classes.

I'm not going to see it. I know you're hoping you manage to fix things, but there's no good outcome for me there, really. Though I hope you manage to kill the son of a bitch. Besides, I haven't seen any of the others. I'd rather leave the seats for people who might get joy from seeing it.

Joel

[nola_faith]

Hey. I'm Nori. We sort of/didn't really meet at football.

[nola_buckybarnes]

I don't mind seeing it if we want to know what happens.

[nola_buckybarnes]

It's good to meet you properly. I've heard nice things about you.

[nola_faith]

They're probably only about 1/3rd true, Steve's too nice for his own good. Ignore Maggie and Gavin, being that extra is a special dietary need of theirs.

[nola_wanda]

I think there will probably be an entire plot synopsis up somewhere within a day or two for that purpose, assuming we don't get the memories of it ourselves. Not that I understand how that would even work. It's been out in Australia for a couple days, shouldn't we have remembered it then? Or when they did the world premiere? Or something?
