Hey gang! It's been about a year since we defeated the Nogitsune, and a ton's happened within that year, both good and bad. But it's been mostly good here, right? We've all made new friends that we wouldn't have had the opportunity to get to know otherwise, gotten jobs, and generally had decent lives now that Beacon Hills is in the rear view.

So I'm throwing a huge party this weekend; you're all invited. Bring anything; I've got a ton of junk food so if you want veggies, bring veggies. It's going to be at my old weapons storage (address) and not the apartment (see Lyle? I do respect you). There aren't any weapons or traps or things in the warehouse; I wound up moving them to a bigger unit. Come unarmed please, or Isla and I are going to frisk you, and we may do it anyway.

I also just saw 'Up' and am feeling hella sappy, so. Argent out!

[ Edited to Add ]: Oh, almost forgot - if there's someone from another fandom or whatever you want to come, it's fine! Just make sure they're not going to narc or whatever; there will be shenanigans.

They said my pack was here. And Argent.

[ ooc - Kristy's fault! A 26 year-old Peter from the Chris-warns-the-Hales AU over at silvershot.]

I tripped over a completely smooth patch of grass and broke my ankle this morning (don't worry, it's already healing), so the Ides of Ezra is going pretty par for the course so far!

I'm quitting my job and running away to warmer weather if this snow/ice keeps up. Who wants to potentially fund my new life?

I know that it's the season, and everyone is debating things for Valentine's Day and how to spend it... but please, for the love of God, do not end up in the ER on that day because you got something lodged in one of your orifices.

Foil-wrapped chocolate roses and teddy bears do not belong anywhere near your ... lower regions. You may think I'm just trying to embarrass Scottie with this, but I swear to you I wouldn't say anything if there wasn't a shockingly high number of people I have to x-ray because they inserted a foreign object where they shouldn't have and it got stuck.


This PSA is brought to you by the sports bottle I had to remove with forceps today. Thank you, have a good evening.

This round of "Unpopular Opinions" is brought to you by waiting for the prof to hit 15 minutes late so we can all book it. Have I mentioned lately that college is a trainwreck and I love it?

It's easy to play Unpopular Opinions - you just give your opinion on something contentious. No fake-unpopular opinions that everyone agrees with, and try not to insult people in the fandom if you go to pop culture. Basically, be contentious, but not a dick, and be prepared to defend your opinions. Mine are:

• Mexican food > Asian.
  
• Neil Gaiman recycles the same plot every book.
  
• Mr. Yukimura is the hottest Dad on the-show-who-will-not-be-named.
  
• I'd rather go see the Spice Girls lip sync in concert than Radiohead sing live.
  
• Chicago > New York City
  
• (This one's for you, Liam) Art died with Warhol.

Come at me.

( the only thing i like about the cold weather )

I'm still not convinced that the fairies had nothing to do with this.

I present to you the thing that has been entertaining Alex and I periodically for weeks. Isla Cat.

[ ALEX ]

Look.

Show-and-tell on Friday took a very Ezra-centric focus, for some reason. One of them brought a doll she thought looked like me, and then they all started talking about people (and a dog) they'd met who also looked like me.

But more importantly, let's discuss.

Okay this is a new one, I'll give you that, portal. Or a lot of old things mixed in with new. But please tell me it's temporary, because the older you get, the less fun starting over is.

James Potter, front and center. Erica? Boyd?

I will be filling out the rest of my resolution list with things from here. So far, the additions include: put shopping carts back in their designated spots, "enhance" my resume with a "based on a true story" approach, knit a full outfit, and love others as much as Kanye loves himself.

That's it! 2015 is the dawn of a New Era in my life. No longer will I be a people-pleasing doormat desperate for validation and approval! I'm going to make something of myself. Just because I had a little bit of a crisis last March doesn't mean that I have to let some stupid television show control me and my mindset. I'm going to get a better job, one that actually uses my skills and isn't some soul-sucking customer service hell-hole with no opportunity for advancement. I'm going to figure out whether or not I want to go to school. I'm going to figure out my life. I'm going to stop eating cookie butter for breakfast and I'm going to tell people when they're being assbutts, and I'm going to be a better, more-secure person capable of decision-making and being strong and reliable and all of those adult things.

Lyle I'm cleaning out the fridge.

Didn't get a chance for a proper introduction before, but I've finally caught up on... most things, I guess. It's not all completely insane anymore.

I'm Marcus Delgado. They tell me I'm the male counterpart to Melissa McCall, which makes a pretty strange amount of sense even without seeing the proof, so. Most of the kids back home call me Mr. D or Nurse D or yo, hot dad- whatever that mean, but Marcus is fine too.

This may be the first New Years Eve I haven't worked in... a decade? I always feel a little better being in the ER rather than at home, so for my sanity, stay out of trouble? I'm not bothering to direct this at anyone in particular, you know who you are.

Also didn't realize the full moon is rapidly approaching. The temporary housing doesn't offer a whole lot of room, but what space I have is available to share.

FILTERED TO ISLA & SCOTTIE:

That goes double for you two. I'm curious how Isla's been faring here.

Really, Scottie? Magical time portal and alternate world and you didn't think to ask permission? You're grounded.

[OOC: Genderswap world Melissa McCall - Marcus Delgado! Details here, biggest thing to note is that he's a werewolf and the TW crew should know it!]

You know, it just struck me that this is the longest we've stayed in one place in two years. There's something really great about that.

I do miss the gnomes, though.

So last night I braved the crowds and made it to Trader Joe's for some last-minute foraging. Basically, if it said "peppermint", "holiday", "cozy", or some combination therein, I bought it (this is how I wound up with gingerbread flavored croutons). Since I was literally run over by a shopping cart for this food, you guys are invited to drop in whenever in the next few days to help me eat it and celebrate. I'll even disable the trap on the welcome mat. :)

Did you want t

[ away from peter and melissa ]

I apologize in advance -- the gnome takeover is going to gradually get more and more ridiculous as the days lead up to Christmas. I don't know how they'll react, but Peter's already destroyed a television.

[ peter and melissa ]

Peter, I need a favor. We had a Santa scheduled to come in Friday before the kids leave for break, but he broke his coccyx. I need you to be his replacement.

I got As in everything. I can't even remember getting more than the occasional one at a time.

[ tw -victor and christina argent ]

So. I survived my first session with Mr. Argent. Wasn't really a stellar experience, but whatever. At least I didn't kill anyone, right?

Alex, Scottie -- thanks for not stalking me home. Or at least not letting me know you were stalking me.
