Hello everyone!

It’s so hard for us to write this, but unfortunately, due to time constraints and the group growing to become a size we have difficulty managing, Rebuild is going to be closing down. We have absolutely loved writing with you all, but no longer feel we have the time and creativity to dedicate to this group which is extremely unfair to the people who have put forth so much effort and talent.

We truly have loved this experience and we’re sorry to have to do this. If any of you would like to continue threads, you’re free to do so and we would love to see them.

Thanks so much,

Rebuild Admins

At 8pm on the dot, Karl Orse stepped onto a small stage that had been erected in the back of the room. He approached the podium in the center, and adjusted the microphone. It took only a moment for the conversation in the room to fade, though the tension remained. “My fellow citizens,” he began. “The Accords and Accountability Panel welcomes you to this evening of peace. We hope you are enjoying both the delectable refreshments and the company of your fellow citizens, no matter where they may stand on the issues. But we did not come here for pleasantries, we have gathered together to seek solutions. In that spirit, we now invite all of you to step forward. To ask your questions, state your opinions, let your voice be heard. Too often in troubled times we forget that we are a community, that we all are human beings with a common goal -- a peaceful resolution to the problems plaguing our city.” He paused, staring out at the crowd with his pale, light eyes. Mouth drawn into a tight smile. “Who’s first?”

Send your questions (in-character) here or here, or if you wish to write a longer piece, tag @accordsandaccountabilitypanel in a starter! The admins will be stepping in to reply as quickly as we can! This will continue for the duration of the event, or until the admins specify otherwise.

Hello everybody! 

We have a couple of very exciting announcements on this beautiful Monday. 

Firstly, we’re absolutely ecstatic to announce that Lola will be helping us with adminning going into the future! She’s already been an amazing addition to the team.

Following that up, we have created a poll in order to allow you guys to help us choose our season 4 main plot. We have some awesome suggestions, but they will affect your characters deeply and we want everyone to feel comfortable writing the plots out! We’ll be giving everyone until Thursday at 5 PM PST in order to get their responses in. That way, you have time to contemplate your preferred main plot.

Please like this so we know that you’ve read everything and please thank Lola for helping us make Rebuild the best it can be for you guys!

Thanks so much everyone.

“Sometimes, if you want to change a man's mind, you have to change the mind of the man next to him first.” 

The party, as Doom had intended, was a stunning success. The civilians and superheroes were mingling, trusting that Doom and his military were going to keep them safe. Of course for the evening, the civilians and superheroes would be protected from any bodily harm, but the party was not solely for Doom’s public to enjoy themselves and realize how trustworthy he is. With the public outcry, Doom realized that he was not the only one invested in such… transparency. New Yorkers demanded that their superheroes aid his cause, and as such, he intended to release the names of those were forthcoming. The others, fortunately, would inevitably bend to the people’s will. Superheroes were obligated to fall into the hands of the people.

As Doom entered on the stage, the music immediately stopped playing and the crowd fell into a familiar silence. His appearances were admittedly sparse, but when they occurred, people were always thrilled to see Doom and hear what he had to say. Power was a funny thing and on Battleworld, it all belonged to him, particularly after his loyal subjects forced the heroes to comply to his will by signing the list. Doom had no intention of forcing them superheroes into anything -- quite the contrary, it drew a clear line of what threats would have to be subtly eliminated first. Those that signed were malleable, willing for the best interest of the majority, while those that refused would never join his cause.

“Good evening everyone,” Doom greeted, speaking clearly into the microphone. He forced an uncharacteristic smile on his features, fitting the mood of the evening thus far. “Firstly, I would like to thank all of you who have aided our noble pursuit for resources. We had enough to host this event and plenty more to spare. My government and I will be implementing a fair system to share resources among each and everyone of you, but we will discuss that in the morning. Currently, there’s no need to ruin our festivities, is there?” The crowd forced a chuckle in agreement and he nodded once in response. “Secondly, I would like to thank you all for coming. Without you New Yorkers, we would not be building some semblance of a civilization. Lastly, in the interest of protecting that very civilization, I must speak once more about transparency.”

Interested, the crowd murmured in response and looked to each other for an answer that would not come. No one knew of Doom’s intention to leak the list. Alexis was an excellent advisor, one he trusted minimally, but she was interested in protecting their heroes unlike Doom. Alexis had not personally experienced what a nuance superheroes truly were. “Without honesty, we will not survive our isolation,” he began. “New York needs to work closely in order for our community to thrive. We have no communication with Earth, with our friends, our allies, and that is a threat that I take seriously. Our primary means of defence is our superheroes, and while many have agreed to aid me and signed the list, many have not. Currently, I intend to take the only realistic step I can to change that.” His voice turned sorrowful and he paused, allowing the emotion to settle. It was all falsified, but to the public, it would look realistic. “I am truly, deeply sorry to do this, but I have no choice. I have been waiting patiently, but I refuse to risk any more of my public’s lives.” Doom raised his hand in silent command and suddenly, a list appeared on the wall behind him.

The crowd started loudly speaking, debating what had been revealed. On the broadcast behind Doom was the list of the superhero that had signed, though the details of their powers were not present. In order to clarify, Doom raised his hand and silence once again settled on the crowd. “This is the list of incredible, brave heroes that have agreed to list their powers with me, thus keeping us as a public safe. These individuals are incredible and I will be rewarding them accordingly once it’s possible. Those that have not are leaving New York City in danger, the Daily Bugle is correct in that assessment, and I hope that hearing the emotional pleas from myself and public will sway their judgment.” Of course Doom didn’t count on the superheroes changing their mind, they were a pigheaded bunch, but it would make his primary enemies obvious. “Thank you to all that have supported my list and my attempts to keep our city safe and working closely with me to do so. Please help me in convincing the others this is a necessary thing,” he said, his voice heavy with emotion still. “I love you all and from here on in, I have every intention of being more forthcoming. Goodnight New York, please continue to enjoy the party.” As Doom finished, he smiled once again at the civilians and then quietly left.

Once he rounded the corner away from the stage, Alexis cornered him, demanding, “What have you done?” As he suspected, she was angry about the situation.

“What is necessary,” he replied, moving past her easily. From Doom’s perspective, it was the only reasonable course of action, and it would guarantee his success.

What’s happened:

Doom has made the list of superheroes public, implying that they’re working closely with him in the process

Doom has promised to be honest going into the future in an attempt to help the public

After the sudden release of the list, things between Doom and Alexis Chamberlain are far more heated

Prompts:

Despite having a fairly public identity, Character A made the decision not to list their powers. When someone in the crowd recognizes them, the terrified public turns on them and Character B must help them escape.

Character A, a listed hero, is disgusted by the leaking of the list. They set out to find Doom and confront him while Character B struggles to talk them down.

The outraged public begins to get rowdy, and Characters A and B take it upon themselves to attempt to quell the crowd’s fears.

Intent on doing damage control, Character A asks Character B for help in deciding what should be done regarding the list’s leak.

Character A, previously unlisted, makes the decision to list their abilities in order to save themselves from the fallout. They ask Character B, who is already listed, to assist them.

Due to the chaos, Character A makes the decision to leave the party and attempts to convince Character B to join them. Character B wants to stay and assist with the fallout, leading to an argument.

After a few days to reassess the situation, Character A and Character B discuss the merits of signing/not signing, depending on their position.

[rebuildhq]

Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory.

New York City successfully had resources, and as a result, Doom had every intention of celebrating. Of course that wasn’t his only victory -- quite the contrary, Doom had numerous things to celebrate, including the general public’s support. The demand to list their powers with him, giving him every insight into his primary enemy, the superheroes of New York City, was echoing across the city, loud and obvious. There were countless articles written, protests taking place, and lastly, Doom wanted to celebrate the fact that heroes were slowly beginning to trust him as well. He had yet to communicate closely with them, knowing avoidance was crucial with numerous telepaths and ‘geniuses,’ but soon the time would come.

First Doom wanted to reward the public, his supporters and naysayers, and to do so he sent out invitations to a lavish party hosted at his home, the Empire State Building. With resources found in the wasteland, his staff created a small but lovely menu, and a large area was erected with decorations and a large banner that simply said, ‘Thank you New York City!’ From the outside, the party looked like one being thrown solely to recognize their small victory, a reminder that New Yorkers would persevere. In actuality, it was an opportunity for Doom to bond with the public and later reveal the superheroes that had listed, creating more pressure against those that had not.

Alexis Chamberlain was not supportive of Doom’s plan, clearly stating that Doom would only further isolate his supporters and encourage the overall distrust, but her opinion was completely ignored. Doom personally ensured that invitations were sent out to every superhero and resident, gathering the largest audience he possibly could. The party would be a success and his plan flawless as they all had been thus far.

Weeks later, guests began arriving to Doom’s celebration, and staff circled closely around, handing out food and beverage. The demons were kept at bay by Doom’s small personal military (and his orders), allowing a much safer environment, and the curfew was lifted for the evening. From above, Doom kept a close eye on the guests, not yet revealing his presence. He wanted this night memorable, he wanted the civilians complicit, and that would take time. Their tension and skepticism would have to be released.

Live music began playing loudly and Doom continued watching, waiting for the opportune moment for his plan to begin.

How to participate in the event:

Currently, Doom is just intending for people to enjoy themselves. Your character can find a date, attend with friends, watch the band, dance, eat, etc. We encourage people to post closed and open starters (keeping in mind our rules regarding this) and just have some light threads! Why so serious?

In roughly a week, we will be posting the second half of the event/plot drop and things will become much more dramatic, but no spoilers! Right now, just get your fluff on and remember to tag all your threads/starters/etc as ‘rebuildevent5′!

[rebuildhq]

Hey guys! 

This is just a reminder that we do expect that our members reply to a minimum of two open starters before posting their own. Unfortunately, we have quite a few with very few notes in the tags and we really would like to see that changed so everyone feels included!

Please like this so we know that you’ve read it.

Thanks everyone!

Hey guys!  

Just a head's up, Tumblr seems to be eating asks on top of not showing notifications. If you've sent an ask to the main and we haven't responded, chances are we didn't receive the question! Until the issue is resolved, we recommend sending any asks/apps again if they're not responded to within a few hours or using the IM system to ensure that we're aware of what you've sent.

We know this is inconvenient, and we can only hope that Tumblr will resolve the issue soon. Thanks for understanding!

Thanks to everyone that contributed their opinion regarding another mashup! We all really appreciate your input. 

To kick things off, as always, we’re going to ask everyone to send us an ask (we can keep it in our inbox so we don’t miss anyone that way! about who they would like to participate! Please keep in mind that the characters who have listed VS those who have not is very uneven! Our aim here is to get more characters to ultimately list their powers. So with that in mind, we would really appreciate limiting some of the characters that are participating otherwise we won’t have enough! 

For example, if one of your characters is never going to list, the thread is going to be a little counterproductive when we could pair one that may potentially agree! However, all sides of the argument are relevant and we support your decisions. We just don’t want anyone to miss out!

As it stands, we only have 15 characters that have listed their powers. If you’d like to before the mashup begins, please let us know!

Now without further ado, as mentioned above, please send us an ask with who you would like to be in the mashup! Pairings will be posted on Saturday so everyone can plot and write to their hearts desire. Thanks again everyone! 

[rebuildhq]

For our eighth task, we decided to do something a little different and rather than meta, and do a paragraph mashup! All that we need members to do is like this post (or send us an ask if you have multiple characters/specific characters you want to involve) and we’ll make sure you get a pairing for a new thread! We thought this would be a great way to kick off the summer here at Rebuild and celebrate all our new members because we’re that excited. As always, this is completely optional!

The threads we’re going to leave up to everyone’s creative liberty, but when we post the pairings (which will most likely be groups of 2), we’ll be posting some prompts relevant to relationship development and main plot! 

Once again, to participate, all you need to do is like this or send us an ask detailing which characters you’d like involved. (For example, I’d like to include Natasha and Reed! Thank you.) We’d like to reiterate that participation is not necessary, but we’d love to see people involved! We ask that everyone send in their characters by Monday, May 7, and we’ll announce pairings on Tuesday, May 8.

Please remember to tag your starters with ‘rebuildtask8′ to keep keep the general ‘rebuildtask’ tag open for admin use. We can’t wait to see the threads you all come up with!

Hello everyone!

This is just a friendly reminder that since Tumblr is unfortunately not always fully functional, a lot of asks have not been going through. If you think you may have had this issue, please send us an IM or you can try submitting your questions and we’ll answer it in a post (without publishing the question itself!) 

We’re so sorry we haven’t been receiving everything people have been asking! It’s not intentional at all.

Thanks for understanding,

Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone,

This is just a reminder that if you want to participate in the para mashup beginning tomorrow, you have to get in your characters’ names today! You have until 6 PM PST today so we have time to finalize everything. 

As always, if you can’t make the deadline, we may be able to pair you up after the fact but there’s no guarantees! 

For more information on timelines, we will be putting up all of the pairings at 10 AM PST and we’ll be adding a few overall points about the situation.

Thanks everyone!

Good evening/morning/day Rebuilders! (I’ve been waiting to use that joke for a long time).

This weekend on Friday, February 2, our Skrull plot will be coming to a close. While we’re not posting the plot drop yet, a small synopsis is that the Skrulls will be launching their final attack, which the heroes will be prepared for due to an information leak. If you have a plot that you can get finished by Friday regarding a Skrull being revealed or wish to have one, feel free to message the main about it! This is the point where characters may discover their friends’ identities with all necessary approval met. (If the time constraint is too close, you may headcanon it, and then post a summary under a read more).

The way that the final attack will be launched will be a full scale battle on all fronts. There will be ground teams, teams infiltrating the mother ship, and prisoners will be free to take part in this! As soon as the plot drop begins, you may write your character escaping, or having escaped in the initial stages of the battle. Additionally, Skrulls in play will be on teams of their own.

We will be doing random mashups for this battle like we have with the Syndicate battle and power swap. If you choose not to take part in the mashup, you may plot with fellow members and do threads that way.

However, assuming you would like to be part of this epic battle how we have planned it, please send us an ASK (so we can keep track of participants in one place) by Friday, February 2 at 6 PM PST that tells us which characters you wish to have entered in the battle. (For example, I’d like to include Natasha Romanoff and Miles Morales in the mashup. Thanks!) The groups will be small, no more than 3. As we mentioned before, the pairings and plot drops will be released on Friday, February 2, and the plot drop will officially begin on Saturday, February 3.

The only requirement that we have for participating in the battle mashup is that players please be active and reply to these threads promptly (within a few days)!

Thank you so much for reading! We can’t wait to begin this journey will you, and rest assured, we have an amazing season three planned already.

Please like this after you’ve read so we see that all members are aware of upcoming events.

          “Battles are lost in the same spirit in which they are won.”

The battle was far from easy. But it was far from a loss.

The heroes of Earth fought with everything they had. From the vigilantes fighting in the streets, to the saviors aboard the mothership itself, rescuing their fellow man. Prisoners were released by the dozens, too many to count, but all ferried to safety. Those in the street fought back Skrull soldiers, held a perimeter below the ship that no alien could cross. The battle began with a red dawn, a portent of the blood to be spilled that day. It continued well into the night, and though every hero felt exhaustion in their bones, they did not give up.

And their efforts were not in vain. The Skrulls among them were revealed and dealt with -- from foot soldiers to Queen Veranke herself. While the Skrulls battle-cry of ‘He loves us!’ continued long into the night, the tides slowly turned in favor of the planet Earth.

Sometime just before midnight, a loud scream tore through the air, and all eyes turned upward. The Skrull ship was coming down. The area already evacuated and the heroes energy spent, the citizens of New York could do little but watch as the massive ship fell from the sky, and smashed into several skyscrapers on the way down. Smoke billowed up from the crash sight. It was a horrifying display, terrible to see. But heroes and citizens alike gazed at the ruined ship and knew.

They had won.

Those gathered in the streets went silent, until someone let loose a single cry of joy. Then the cheering began, the hugging, the weeping, the collapsing from exhaustion. Every hero had fought so bravely, had bled not just for the city they called home, but for the planet as a whole. Friends turned to one another and embraced, lovers kissed, and many simply dropped where they stood, sitting among the rubble of the ship and marveling at their victory.

But it was short-lived.

A deep, booming voice rumbled through the entire city. It seemed to shake the very foundations of every building, rattled the bones of everyone who heard it.

“Your troubles are not over,” the voice announced, with an air of dread and low, throaty chuckle. “They are just beginning.”

People clung to one another, closed their eyes tightly, and waited. Was this some final trick of the Skrulls? Were they about to be utterly annihilated? But then --

Nothing happened. The mothership was still smoking in the center of the city. The Skrulls were still dead. The city was bruised and battered, but still standing. What then, had that mysterious voice meant? And who did it belong to?

Only a select few recognized that voice. Dr. Doom, they whispered among each other. But to avoid panic, the heroes of Earth picked themselves up once more, and began to clean up the mess the war had left behind.

Whatever Dr. Doom’s eerie prophecy contained… they were sure to find out soon enough.

Doom chuckled to himself as his transmission faded out. The pitiful heroes of the city did not yet understand -- did not yet sense the change that already had taken hold of their world. But they would soon come to realize precisely what had happened. That their world did not belong to them, or to the foolish Skrull race. It belonged to him. This was his universe. He would announce himself as their leader, their president, when the time was right. Until then, the entire city of New York would rest in this place, this pocket universe he had dubbed ‘Battleworld’ for his own amusement. And things would never, ever be the same. 

WHAT’S HAPPENED:

The Skrull war is over and won! Remaining Skrulls have either been imprisoned or killed, and the mothership crashed into the center of New York. There will be extensive damages, but the casualties were not nearly as high as they could have been.

There’s much to rejoice -- but much to fear. Dr. Doom’s voice rang out over the crowd, and announced that the troubles plaguing the city were far from over. Unknown to any, Dr. Doom has transported the city of New York to a pocket universe, cutting them off from the rest of not only their universe, but any other universe. Our heroes are trapped in this strange place called Battleworld, though they don’t yet realize it. 

The New Panel is in shambles following the Skrull War. With Bobbi Morse in Europe and Jessica Drew revealed to have long been a Skrull manipulating things from the inside, the public trust in heroes is a little shaky, despite their victory.

PROMPTS:

Your character can assist in the clean up/rebuilding of the city, but they will not be allowed outside city limits at this time, nor any contact with anyone outside of New York City. Details to come soon.

If your character feasibly could be reasoned to recognize Dr. Doom’s voice, they may band together with other heroes in order to investigate what he might be up to. Please contact the main with any specific thread ideas!

Any character who was registered or associated with the Panel, old or new, will be under a great deal of scrutiny. The age old question of ‘can heroes be trusted’ is asked once more by The Bugle and the city at large -- how is your character affected and how will they deal with these ramifications?

Feelings of distrust and betrayal might lead to high tensions between those who were replaced by Skrulls, and those who failed to notice. How does your character feel about the ordeal?

[rebuildhq]

Hey guys!

We have a new plot drop going up within the next week (hopefully on Sunday)! We were hoping that someone could volunteer to write a solo so more members could get involved in Doom’s amazing reality. If you’re willing, please shoot us a message and we’ll let you know what’s going on! No character will be injured or anything like that if you’re concerned.

Thanks for reading!

Hey guys!

We just wanted to to say thank you for such an amazing one year! We’ve had so much fun writing with you all and getting to know you. We have an absolutely amazing group, and every time we add to it, it totally makes our days. Thanks for joining us in our journey for an entire year.

Here’s to many more, and a ton more writing and plots developing!

Happy one year to Rebuild!
