Drinking age is 21 in the US, but oddly enough in NYC you only have to be 18 to bartend.


Interesting. Didn’t know that.

Honestly, I didn't either. I had to look it up.

Sorry I've been MIA, the last few days we hit record highs here in Portland and I don't have AC, so I was just a useless exhausted sweaty blob with no creative energy, lol. Sincerely (I don't think we ever decided on a chosen nickname for you, lol), the CS and post are awesome :D.

At some point I may bring in two other characters -- Blink and Jubilee, both from outside our main timeline. I'm thinking in the alternate future where the Infinity Stones were destroyed, a surviving fragment of the Space Stone was used to give Blink the ability to open small portals. She initially enters the story as a sidekick to Loki during the Battle of New York, but eventually betrays him and joins the Avengers.

At some point in the story, I want to have a larger time travel arc, similar to the Time Heist in Avengers: Endgame. I'm thinking during that process, we inadvertently spawn off multiple new timelines, including one where a group of scientists get their hands on the formula for Terrigen a lot sooner, leading to the initial Terrigen Crisis happening in 1984 instead of 2023. Out of that timeline comes an 80's Jubilee, and this also opens the door for other types of characters we can bring in from different pasts and futures. I'm thinking the entire saga around these alternate timelines could all be rolled into a giant Secret Wars arc, where Victor von Hassen is trying to get his hands on multiple incarnations of the Infinity Stones to power his Infinity God Helmet. But those are just ideas and that's all still a long ways off :D.

As it stands right now, my main narrative focus is our characters dealing with the Terrigen Crisis and the threat of the five rogue scientists. I still plan to have Cable arrive from the future at some point after the Terrigen Bomb Incident on New Year's Eve, and then Thor and Loki following him back to the future. Then a few months later Thor and Loki return, though for them it's been something like 90 years, the Terrigenesis having severely slowed their aging. That leads into the Battle of New York and our first hint at Thanos and his plans to come. After that initial plan is thwarted, Loki steals the Tesseract and heads into deep space to seek out the past version of Thanos, while Thor hands David a future cube containing advanced technology secrets and then heads off after his brother.

I'm thinking that would then be a good time to bring in a joint HYDRA/Ultron arc, as well as Vision. Rennie, if you want, Vision and Waylon could get together at some point. After that arc, we can roll into a full-blown Thanos saga, and Thor returns to Earth along with the Guardians of the Galaxy. Unlike the MCU, I don't want it to end with half of the people turning to dust and then coming back five years later. But we'll see how it goes.

From there we can delve into the Secret Wars arc I mentioned earlier, and perhaps that can lead into a saga where a version of Ronan the Accuser gets his hands on von Hassen's Infinity God Helmet and launches a Kree galactic invasion, which also spills onto Earth. At that point David -- who mostly likely will have achieved his Smart Hulk form by then -- could trick Ronan into removing the Helmet and then he runs up and slips it on, using a God Snap to achieve three outcomes: the brainwashed Kree are liberated and turn on Ronan; a massive temporal barrier is erected around the existing multiverse to prevent any new timelines from being created and rendering all time travel impossible; the Infinity God Helmet and all versions of the Infinity Stones from the existing timelines are erased from existence. Whether or not David survives this ordeal remains to be seen :D.

These are all subject to change, but I just wanted to give you all an idea of where my head is at currently with the longevity of the story.

It's awesome to see how far ahead you've planned! Yeah, if there's gonna be a Vision in this RP, I feel like they must get together lol.

Also, guess who has internet back!!! (Me. It's me.)

So, I'm gonna throw up a post, and then finally write the rest of Caroline/Miss Marvel's character sheet.

I'm gonna work on a post today. And since everyone's creating their X-Men characters I may have to write up my Professor X and Magneto earlier than I expected.

Well, my Jubilee and Blink characters won't actually arrive in the story for some time, so don't feel rushed. It might also be good to save some characters for later on, in case any existing ones die or are otherwise written out of the story. For me, I will likely only have four active main characters at a time. Some of mine will shift into background NPC roles as necessary, or they may be temporarily written out of the story, such as when Thor and Loki go to the future or into deep space after the Battle of New York.

Kindred, if you wanted to have older, more experienced versions of Professor X and Magneto, they could come back from the future with Thor to fight Loki or something. Once we get to that first instance of time travel, the initial "teenage rookie superhero" part of the story will have been thoroughly explored, so I am fine with older heroes coming in at that point.

Also, just so everyone is aware, due to some switch ups at my job, my free time is going to be drastically reduced. As a result, I will only hop onto this site a few times a week. I have cancelled all my 1x1 RPs on here and the only one I plan to keep going is our Avengers thread. Outside of that, what free time I do have is going to be dedicated to writing my e-novel.

So, a question for everyone before we move forward -- do you want me to keep us on the night of the crisis for a few more post cycles or should I go ahead and transition into the next morning and each of us can kind of recap what our characters go through at the hospitals and into the next morning?

I'm fine with transitioning to the morning. You can break down what the FBI did and/or said to Caty.

Okay, sorry all, things have gotten a bit crazier. Between co-workers testing positive for COVID-19 and a shrinking roster of available employees, I really don't have the time to do this RP justice. My first priority is my novel, but beyond that I am unable to maintain commitment to any projects. So, that leaves us with three options -- you can continue the RP without me and I'll find a way to wiggle back in once everything stabilizes; we can pause it for a few weeks and see where we are at that point; or we can retire the RP.

This makes me sad, but you do what you gotta do.

What do the rest of you think? I personally don’t want to retire the RP though...

I’d rather wait a few weeks until things stabilize than retire the RP.

If you all decide you want to wait a few weeks, I will try to get out at least one more post to set the stage for you all to do some RPing between you all. I can have David fall into a coma for a few days, Luke will just be on his own for a bit, and then Rennie, you can bunny Donny and Owen along behind Waylon and Petra if you want. Like, don't write out any specific actions for them, but just make reference to them following behind, sort of like offscreen characters that are still technically in the room.

However, if my test ends up coming back positive, I'll have to isolate for ten days and then will have plenty of time to work on the RP, lol.

Yeah, I don't want to give up on this either so I'm cool with waiting for a few weeks.
