DE: Achievement Unlocked
Since it's nearly 0600 here on the West Coast, I'm stealing this here DE. I'm afraid I don't have a joke for you...oh wait, I just thought of one:
Hey, how come this webpage is so dark? It's an astronomy webpage.... Ok, I didn't say it would be a good joke.
Anyway, since this is
themightyspazz 's day, I'll pull one of his suggestions:
At some point in the future, I'd like to do that 'Milliways achievements' DE again. Maybe a couple months down the road?
ETA: Here are a couple examples of previous achievement DEs as well as the Milliways Bingo sheet.
ETA2: Now with better links to Dreamwidth for the lists, Achievements prt. 1, Achievements prt. 2.
And now even better since I am posting it were you can see it!

And to show Erik science isn't evil.no subject
(I'm only using stuff I remember actualfax threads involving, and not meta-millicanon to up the difficulty.)
Mike:
-I see dead people (hi Lilly)
-Making friends...
-and influencing people (makes mental note to have Mike say: AVENGERS, ASSEMBLE! at some point)
-Inter-dimensional Travel for beginners
-Armed Intervention Specialist (oh hai st mungos)
-Mementos (STAMPY!)
-Medic!(Mike has a favorite bed in the infirmary and EVERYTHING!)
-It's only funny if it happens to other people (hai bar)
-It must be Tuesday (so many tuesdays)
-I fought the law, and the law won (i think it was a voluntary surrender, and only so mike and mel could have sex....)
-I have a shiny badge (one of the perks of being a barman)
-What's the plural for apocalypse? (is this one just standard by this point?)
-Better by comparison (evil ninjas are really no big whoop compared to what other people have waiting for them back home.)
-By adoption (well yeah. if you're extra special mike gives you an artist name)
-Someone up there hates me (and he signs my checks)
-Ah, Romance (two in fact.)
-Hiro Admires your Fanfic Baby! (o hai thar magellan)
-Meeting the Locals (mike was a non-human patron for a chunk of time there.)
-Done ____ so many times, my ___ is practically MADE of notches (and yes, it's as dirty as you think it is.)
-When is a Door, not a Door? (happens every time sallie leaves)
-Canon's alright, I guess, if you don't know any better (shhh. say nothing. i haven't done anything worse than what's been done in canon. shh. hush up, magellan.)
-All the world's a stage (mike's read all the comics, seen all the cartoons...save the new one, and even has the animatronic suit they used for Raph in the live action movie.)
Raph:
(has all of the above, and would like to add:)
-I'm an Enabler (he's responsible for the garage, and the first milliways-wide movie night. poor luke skywalker)
-You Seem Horribly Familiar (oh andrew largeman, grow a pair)
-Infamous (raph's still wanted in wizarding london for being an escaped non-human)
- Meet the locals (wildlife, that is) (he used to fight the whomping willow for kicks)
-Not in Kansas anymore
-This isn't the (fill in the blank)
Though he would like me to point out that he's never had a non-canon baby, and he never intends to have a non-canon baby.
His narrator just grins.
no subject
1. This isn't the (fill in the blank): You ended up in Milliways without intending to, one way or another.
2. I see dead people: You met your first deceased patron.
3. Not in Kansas anymore: Culture shock is hard enough to take when it's your own universe, then you ended up in Milliways....
4. Meet the locals (wildlife, that is): You've encountered the Demon Bunnies, Whomping Willow, or other local critters out back.
5. Don't cross the time streams: You've met someone from your own universe, but they're coming in from your past or your future.
6. Making friends...: You've befriended a patron from a universe other than your own.
7. and influencing people : You have enough multiversal friends and allies that you could conquer a small planet, but you won't. Probably.
8.Inter-dimensional Travel for beginners: You've visited a universe other than your own.
9. Armed Intervention Specialist: You've visited a universe other than your own just to kick ass and take names.
10. Mementos: You've acquired loot from other universes directly or by bargaining with another patron. Bonus points if it was armor, weapons or something that doesn't exist in your home universe.
11. Infamous: You've managed to get yourself listed as an important enemy by some powerful organization in a dimension other than your own.
12: Medic!: You've been patched up in Milliways by tech or magic that doesn't exist back home.
13. Alice and the Mushroom: You ate free food in Milliways, there were consequences.
14. It's only funny if it happens to other people: You've been the victim of the Bar's or the Landlord's sense of humor.
15. It must be Tuesday: You've been caught up in a plot of Bar-wide weirdness.
16. I fought the law, and the law won: You've spent time in the cells.
17. I have a shiny badge: You're on the Milliways security team.
18. What's the plural for apocalypse?: You've prevented the end of a world... more than once. Bonus points if it's not your home universe.
19. 24 hour days are for amateurs: You've abused the fact that Milliways stops time to do the work you should be doing at home, study, or just sleep. You're probably driving your co-workers insane trying to figure out how you're so productive.
20. Better by comparison: Your world may be a dystopia or swarming with giant ants, but some poor patron probably has it worse than you. You know this is true because you've met that poor unfortunate soul.
21: By adoption: You've acquired people you think of as family through Milliways. Heaven help anyone who tries to hurt them...
22. Someone up there hates me: You've been involved in so much weirdness and prevented so many disasters that Milliways doesn't even seem weird to you anymore.
23: Ah, Romance: You had a non-canon romance-- bonus if it's with someone from outside your canon.
23b: Hiro Admires your Fanfic Baby!: Even more bonus if you had kids in a romance only Milliways could make possible.
24: You Seem Horribly Familiar: That person looks just like you, or a friend of yours.

27: Done ____ so many times, my ___ is practically MADE of notches: Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt in bulk.
28. May Be Closer Than They Appear: You find your universe overlaps with another.
29. I'm an Enabler: There was a bar-wide plot and it was all your fault. Shame on you. ;-)
30 When is a Door, not a Door?: Your Pup's been bound.
31 Canon's alright, I guess, if you don't know any better: You've changed from canon in a measurable way. Either you brought friends, or you skipped to the end of the book or something else. But you changed things.
32 Shake Hands with the Devil: You've done business with one of the incarnations of Satan or equivalents. Bonus points if you still have your soul.
33 My duties are purely ceremonial.: You have a title that really means nothing.
34 I do not think that means what you think it means.: Terminology/language issues. Wizard vs. sorcerer for example.
35 All the world's a stage: You've seen your own canon. Somehow.

Aradia has Don't cross the time streams, mostly because I like twisting chronology into interesting shapes for my time traveller.
We should come up with an achievement for getting a T-Minus account, but I can't think of a witty title at the moment.
no subject
-This isn't the (fill in the blank) (SECRET TUNNEL)
-Not in Kansas anymore (thanks for the artillery lesson, voodoo)
-Meet the locals (wildlife, that is) (noodling with shephard)
-Making friends...
-24 hour days are for amateurs (though to be honest, it's not work he's doing, but anti-work.)
-Better by comparison (equalists are nothing compared to what ever the hell goes on in gordon freeman's world.)
-By adoption (sorry, asami. these things happen.)
-Meeting the Locals (bumi met a pony...i think.)
-Canon's alright, I guess, if you don't know any better (*cough*fanoncharacter*cough*)
- I do not think that means what you think it means (explain this thing to me again? i'm old.)

and now for the actual response
- This isn't the (fill in the blank) - any time Steve comes in his Captain America uniform, it's not been on purpose. (His purpose, anyway.)
- Don't cross the time streams - Everyone else in the MCU say holla!
- Making friends... - Steve's favorite part of Milliways is the people he's met.
- Inter-dimentional travel for beginners - he's been to Orpheus's universe a few times now.
- It must be Tuesday - hi, Slendy!
- 24 hour days are for amateurs - Steve likes to come to Milliways for R'n'R.
- Ah, Romance - Steve: *smooches Orpheus*
- Not in Kansas anymore - let's see: his boyfriend is a Greek demigod, his best friend got kidnapped by characters from a children's novel and encased in chocolate in order to be sacrificed to an urban legend, and one of his favorite workout partners is an earth bender. Oh, and he knows about Hogwarts and the Wizarding war. All things considered, he's taken most of this in stride.

This isn't the.... - Burger Mart and/or his bedroom. So far.
Making friends.... - Enzo, Tyler, and Artemis (and boy is he going to be annoyed when he finds out she's a mask)
Interdimensional Travel for Beginners and Mementos as of this past OOM visit to the Guardian Academy.
24 hour days are for amateurs - So far, only once, but he's still got final exams.
Meeting the locals - Talking ponies, man. Talking. Ponies.
Gone exploring, be back Tuesday - Mark loves flying. An endless sky (an endless loop of a sky at least) makes it better.
no subject
This isn't the _: He wandered into the 'wrong' pup first time round.
I see dead people: Hey Teja (and possibly others, I'm sure, but that's who I'm remembering atm).
Making friends...: Hey Hank.
It must be Tuesday: Thanks, Slenderman.
24 hour days are for amateurs
Better by comparison
Meeting the Locals
Gone exploring, be back Tuesday
Mmmm, pan-fried paradoxes!
Pan-Galactic Gargle What?
Max has only been in a couple of times, so he only gets
This isn't the _:
Erik:
This isn't the _: First time, with Thor, and horrendously drunk.
I see dead people: I think so, can't remember
Don't cross the time streams: tiny bit of this going on with Erik and Bruce Banner, due to Bruce being bound and Erik not.
I'll get back to my others at a later time

So for Amascut:
1. This isn't the (fill in the blank): Kicked down the Front Door thinking it belonged to a house that was marked for a slash and burn campaign. No patrons were slashed or burned, luckily.
2. I see dead people: SO MANY DEAD PEOPLE DAMN YOU ALL YOU SHOULD BE ROTTING IN THE GROUND. Charlie (the Question), may have been the first to admit he was deceased. But there are plenty she doesn't know about (or pretends to not know).
3. Not in Kansas anymore: Mostly horrendous exchange rates (in her advantage, usually) and 'what do you mean, women are supposed to stay home?' type things
4. Meet the locals (wildlife, that is): Burned by demon bunnies, tossed in the lake for her troubles
6. Making friends...: Lack of canonmates makes this easy.
7.
and influencing people: She wishes she could claim this, but she is more likely to break an army than build one up. Best she can manage is a raiding party.8.Inter-dimensional Travel for beginners: Carlotta's world to watch a circus performance. Lions are scary though D: She was grateful the audience booed the lion away (They were booing the tamer, but she will still count it as a victory...ish over the feline menace)
9. Armed Intervention Specialist: And got nuked for her troubles
10. Mementos: She swiped some of the GreenMan's antipoison apples from the tree out back, but hasn't really done anything with them. That was more Evil Chicken's evil plan.
11. Infamous: Does getting recognized by a Buffyverse Ex-Watcher count?
12: Medic!:Not magic or tech, but do bucketfuls of snot count?
14. It's only funny if it happens to other people: EVERY HALLOWEEN
15. It must be Tuesday: Werewienies, Allpocalypse
18. What's the plural for apocalypse?: The jury's still out on this, but she (at least) thinks a future version of herself hit the reset button on the Allpocalypse. She hates her future self now. I suppose this counts more as a 5. Don't cross the time streams incident
26. Meeting the Locals: Non-humans? Sure, but who counts as the first? Non-Gods? See her first entrance. Non-exgods? I don't even know what Amascut or any of the other Gods of Gielinor are supposed to be. There is a big reveal coming sometime, but I am not a prophet/seer/precog.
36. Nip and Tuck: Again, bucketfuls of snot?
40. Eleventy billion proof: With additives and distilled into brandy as well!
44. Lollipop, plz?: As a wee kitten
45. Mmmm, pan-fried paradoxes!: I forget who introduced her to the bar's specialty cuisine
46. Pan-Galactic Gargle What?: She's tended bar plenty of times
47b. Jossed: the possibilty of new contradictory canon is why I play ~20 years before canon

This isn't the...Warner Bros. studio commissary.
Interdimensional Travel for Beginners - Into John Marston's universe.
Armed Intervention Specialist - Again in John Marston's universe.
All the World's a Stage - Well, naturally. He's a Mel Brooks character.
Making Friends - And flirting with at least one of them.
Eleventy-Billion Proof - Technically the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster rather than the Atlantean, but the effects were pretty much the same.
Fastest Gun This Side of the Apocalypse - Win a shooting contest with another gunfighter.
Reel Missing - Take a three-month (and counting) gap between posts in an OOM.
no subject
This isn't the...jungle. Or the TARDIS.
I see dead people - Seriously, this pretty much applies to everyone, right?
Not in Kansas anymore - Given that just about EVERYONE is from a more advanced society than she is, it's pretty much a given.
Making friends - Of all sorts, though she favors people who can also be considered warriors.
Better by comparison - When compared to Ellen's world, anyway.
When is a Door, not a Door? - When you spend the better part of two months not being able to use it, that's when.
Gone exploring, be back Tuesday - The food she eats here tends to be things she's killed in the forest. It's just what she's used to.
no subject
Help a girl out?
no subject
This isn't the: corridor, or the turbolift, or Ten Forward, or a closet, or...

It's only funny if it happens to other people: Apples/cookies over that one Midsummer

Medic!: after Thy Kingdom Come nightmares, thanks Zhaan
It must be Tuesday: Hi Slendy, also hi Allpocalypse, and ghost-y hospital-y nightmares, and getting turned into an animal for a week
By adoption: Dale Harding, Will Scarlett, Gene Roe
24 hour days are for amateurs: I'm sure she's done it a few times, even if it's just been to get food before a shift
Better by comparison: Ellen's world, Harding's world
I do not think that means what you think it means: a few times, I'm sure. I'm remembering the 'what are cheetos?' conversation she had once
no subject
Alfred has the following:
This isn't the _: Drawing Room, Board room, he's had it a couple of times now, when he hasn't wanted to.
I see dead people
Don't cross the time streams
It must be Tuesday: He was on the very periphery of the Slenderman weirdness
Better by comparison: Rae, Petra, Rue.
Meeting the Locals: Skysong! or talking to dragons in your mind!
My duties are purely ceremonial.: His full job title remains Butler to Master Wayne. And, of course they are ceremonial when there's no one to buttle for.
