Network: Pepper 🌶

[weregoingtobeokay]

Good evening - for those of you who don't know me, I am Pepper. I only just arrived,myself, but if I can do anything to make your time here more comfortable, let me know.

I'm going to get working on a better welcome for people - including a place to get fresh clothing until people can get out and buy some - among other things. I know this is not what anyone expected and while I can't get you home, I can help make this place home.

What other things would help make your time here better?

It's so nice to "meet you Ms. Potts. I'd love to be able to help you in any way that I can!

[weregoingtobeokay]

Gert, right? I would love the help.

[arsenicandoldlace]

That's me! Do you think we'll need to make a list of things like mental health resources and maybe we could organize outings for people who need to go shopping, but aren't up to going alone?

Whatever you need, let me know. Mr. Stark said I could help work with his educational foundation, but I think I have time to do that and help you.

[weregoingtobeokay]

I'm not sure what mental health resources are going to be able to handle this, but, it won't hurt to have them on hand and that is a perfect idea. Also, a how to guide, on how to do things in this time and place. Most everyone seems to be used to the modern era, but, we can't rule out that people might get pulled here from a time without phones or credit cards.

Don't stretch yourself too thin, I'll take whatever help you can, but, not at the risk of burning anyone out.

Not one of the Avengers. Not interested in being one, but maybe it would be a good idea to have a plan for what we do if something comes through that portal that isn't friendly.

Also thinking that it might be a good idea to see if this pocket dimension extends beyond New York. Throwing it out there.

Re: Quill / Pepper

[weregoingtobeokay]

Well, thankfully, that's not my department, but that's a good idea, I don't think any of us want anything bad to come through but we can't rule the chance out.

Putting together some kind of monitoring and defense would be smart.

I'll have to see if that's been explored, yet.

Thanks. Are we cool with the local authorities? Are the locals going to lose their minds if Gamora and Groot go to the park?

Quill / Pepper

[weregoingtobeokay]

People are going to be people, and likely a few might stare, but they should be fine. Have them take my number with them, if anyone bothers them, call me.

Before anyone gets physical.

Eleanor Shellstrop here. I probably need to do something besides talk to people on the Net. Maybe we could have a Margarita Night?

I need to do something for other people or I'm going to end up sucked out of this place into The Bad Place. So, if you have some sort of volunteer crap for me to do, that would be great.

Also what would be the absolute best if you could get me a an autographed picture of Stone Cold Steve Austin dressed up as a mailman with his shirt open. I totally get it if you can't... I figured I'd give it a shot.

Pepper/ Eleanor

[weregoingtobeokay]

I actually like the sound of that.

The Bad Place? I'm not sure what that is, but it doesn't sound like a place you want to go back to.

What are you good at? So I best know where to put you to good use.

Well, I'm not sure if I can do that but, I can try. I like your sense of humor.

Pepper/ Eleanor

Margarita night with all you can eat shrimp!

It's pretty much the worst. Think about the worst day of your life. Now relive it. Over and over and over. That's The Bad Place.

Well... about that, I can tell you're a nice person. People like you sometimes need people like me. Let's say you have a friend and that friend is all rubbing up on your man. Even if you know your man isn't gonna sleep with a skank, it's still irritating AF, amirite? Nice girls have to be all, "Joleeeeeeeene, please don't take my man." or they like smile and be the better person. Fork that shirt! I'll go up to her and be like, "Girl, you back off of Pep's man or I will knock you right back to your trailer park, you get me?" Then if she doesn't get me I make her go viral on the internet and I knock her back to her trailer park. Also I'm good at filing and public relations.

I was a telemarketer for a while, but that was almost as bad as the Bad Place.

I'm also good at figuring out if a lying liar is lying out their liar hole. So you know if you ever need someone to help you with that, I can do it.

Pepper/ Eleanor

[what_the_fork_man]

Oh and demon control. Super good at that.

Re: Pepper/ Eleanor

[weregoingtobeokay]

That... Is a lot. I would rather not live my worst day over again.

Good to have someone like you around then. I think. We'll save most of that in case we need it, but, filing will come in handy. You can help me keep track of when people arrived, and from where, to start.

If there's a pattern it might help to know.

And hopefully we won't have a demon problem.

Re: Pepper/ Eleanor

[what_the_fork_man]

Sounds good to me!

I'll let you know if any demons show up, I pretty much know them all on a first name basis.

Re: Pepper/ Eleanor

[weregoingtobeokay]

Sounds good to me.

[irondaughter]

Just let me know what I can do to help, mom!

[weregoingtobeokay]

The question is, which one of us did you end up taking after most? I need to catch up on so many years!

[ahugedork]

Now that sounds like the Pepper I know and love. You've been here all of five minutes and you're organizing.

[weregoingtobeokay]

I started last night, if we're being honest.

[ahugedork]

You're impossible.

With that being said, what do you need help with? I like the idea of new and improved welcome kits. Tony nailed the tech part and the fridge has food but if we're going to be here a while God let us be here a while we'll need a bit more in depth living situations.

[weregoingtobeokay]

None of you would have me any other way.

I mean, most people won't have any other clothes, a guide to how to use basic items in case someone isn't from a time with things like credit cards, a binder of closest delivery, I know Friday can tell people that but sometimes people need to a paper menu to feel comfortable..

We should think about a medical aspect - not only might people be hurt, but, illnesses here might not be present in someone's time. We should figure out how to approach that, too.

[ahugedork]

Time to delegate.

I know one of the girls, Gert maybe, was looking to help so maybe have her start putting together the local places? Not even just delivery, the grocery store, the best Bodega on the street, that kind of thing. It might be fun.

I can probably help out with the medical portion. I don't like thinking about it but if this issue is pulling people from all around time, they may arrive injured. I'd like to not have a repeat of Miss Falls In With a Concussion.

[weregoingtobeokay]

Already working on it.

Good additions - best places for everything in the area, helps make the overwhelming amount of choices a little less overwhelming.

And let me guess, she insists she's fine and needs no care? Of course she is.

[ahugedork]

Especially for those from other places. Or, I guess, times may be an option one day. Already years are a little off, there's nothing to say that decades or even centuries couldn't happen.

You know the hero types. "We don't have time for that, Bruce" "we need to find answers, Bruce" "we need to keep fighting, Bruce". Stubborn is what they are.

[weregoingtobeokay]

We can't rule out centuries or decades - being ready for anything is going to be helpful.

Don't talk like you are not in the same vein, Bruce. You are just as stubborn as her or Tony and you know it.

[ahugedork]

I am completely offended, Pepper. Hurt, even. How dare you, etc.

[weregoingtobeokay]

I can have Friday send you some aloe for your offended feelings, if you'd like? ha!

[aunt_may]

I think you already have plenty of good suggestions so I'll just leave my desire to help here, hon.

[weregoingtobeokay]

Well I will never turn down your help.

[minilang]

I have to go to school. Will you help enroll me?

[weregoingtobeokay]

I certainly can, dear. We'll get you set up. I'll grab a few things and come down to see you and ask a few questions, if That's okay?

[minilang]

Sure.

[weregoingtobeokay]

Wonderful, we'll get you sorted.
