Keep calm and idk



Some of the coolest threads come from just putting characters in situations! This meme is a chance to do just that.

How to Play:
  1. No blank top-levels. Put a "don't panic, but..." statement in your top-level. Examples:
    • "Don't panic, but my father's coming and I need you to hide me."
    • "Don't panic, but everyone's throwing up."
    • "Don't panic, but I think something just exploded around the corner."
    • "Don't panic, but there's someone following you."
    • "Don't panic, but your shoes clash with that purse really badly."
  2. Respond to other people's statements. Maybe you can help them. Maybe you can make the situation worse. Maybe you can't help but panic.
  3. ????
  4. Profit

[ J'onn's going to get a few files sent over for reference, because Darcy's pretty sure they won't show up as well if she shared her screen compared to the much nicer set up she's sure he has. He gets a few star maps, marked for the same coordinates, but different dates, the first showing a small piece of odd texturing in the center that seems to glow that's dated to just over a month ago, the second is dated to a week ago and it's huge, but not massive, the third is dated to the day before and has grown exponentially, and the final one, dated to that morning, has tripled in size from the original. ]

It's grown a lot and it looks like it's getting bigger. I've been calling it the Ripple, because...I mean, duh. I've run it past the few Asgardians who still have knowledge of how their tech worked for the Bifrost and they don't recognize it. I figured it might be good to get another set of eyes on this thing before I try looping in the more mystical leaning guys.

[ J’onn does indeed have a very nice set-up. The Monitor Womb has every facility a cross between Batman, J’onn and Superman could cook up. He opens everything at once, parallel and overlapping.

He’s silent as he strokes his chin, which is probably a bad sign.

That rate of growth is… considerable. [ He doesn't sound worried. He likes to understand things before he panics. ] Visually, it resembles a hyperspace by-pass. But they usually open and close in an instant, and rarely so large.

[ His fingers tap unseen off-screen and he returns a file, depicting what he means. Hole open, spaceship out, hole closes. ]

I would like to invite you up. With our equipment, you may be able to determine more.

[ It’s an old cop courtesy, don't take someone’s case from them. Besides, she is the expert and probably would enjoy going to the moon. ]
