I can't decide if my homework's making me pissed off or depressed but I definitely need to decompress.

Anyone else need a break with me?

You know how you get a phonecall when you're arrested?

...This is my "phonecall".

I just looked at the calendar at our last meeting and I realized that our first Children's Hospital Prom is a week from Saturday. Obviously we've had a countdown and the kids have been invited and the people coordinating wardrobes have had them around, or brought things around for them to choose, the ones who aren't able to leave the hospital at all, and hired entertainment (One of the kids here has a band an they're really good) and everything is perfectly on track, but somehow between this and prep for Pride In The Park, I hadn't EMOTIONALLY realized how close it all was.

I'm excited. I know what it's like to miss your prom because you're either too sick or haven't spent time with enough people to feel comfortable going because of how much of your school year you've missed from being sick, and being able to give these kids something of the experience really does mean...just about everything.

So has all the help we've had come in, but that said, I do have a semi last minute request here.

Since this isn't attached to a high school or anything, and some of the doctors, nurses, techs and other volunteers aren't able to make it on the night of, either for work or covering for chaperones or...something, is there anyone willing to be a last minute chaperone?

The kids all range from 14-20, since we wanted to include the young adults still here, who haven't had a chance for prom, and they're pretty amazing. It should be a pretty low key night, really, just keeping an eye on things and drinking punch and sneaking around like Professor Snape in Goblet of Fire, trying to bust couples who are making out behind the conference room podiums or projection screens or...whatever. ...I'm joking. Mostly.

We've got a set up and clean up crew looking for a couple extra people as well, and if anyone wants to help with the prep rooms for the kids, we're sending a couple beauticians who could use a couple extra hands to handle the simple stuff, like make-up or hair styles or zipping dresses and putting some last minute frills on IV poles or wheelchairs.

Let me know if you could help, please? It's totally okay if you can't, but I figured it was worth asking anyway.

Mrs. Yang thinks that I should “get married already, he won’t wait around for forever!”and also that I need to stop eating so fast, and my “nice lady friends need to help me buy better clothes before I go out with my boyfriend again ” because “nobody likes khakis even on a man who is very cute”.

...Pretty typical day at the Pan-Asian tea shop, really. I think I’ve found the one person this truth thing hasn’t changed.

Frankly, my memories are almost always a little messy. This is nothing new.

I have a sticky note with your name on it. Wanna go get that coffee?

Right so. Things are weirder than usual around here. I woke up with no Tony in sight, no SHIELD in sight, and a note on my phone (WHY do I own a jitterbug? I'm honestly a little insulted, but...digression) that I had a speech tonight for a high school group about my experiences in prison during the war years, when I protested the loyalty oath(?!).

And then I had a shipment of a ton of pills, addressed to me, from some at home pharmacy I don't remember ordering. And then I looked in the mirror, finding out my bathroom has really convenient safety bars and some kind of alert because I live in some kind of assisted living community?

Did I hallucinate some entire life where I'm a superhero? Given some of how powerful this medication IS, I wouldn't be too surprised, but I...

The last one seems so REAL...

Is it hard to throw a prom?

Cause I really want to start one, maybe find a secondhand shop who can help with dresses if they're asked to donate a couple, make up artists, that sort of a thing.

Really not okay with this.

But I guess it's better than therapy or listening to Sam tell me to go to therapy.

So I guess this place ain't so bad. Its grown on me, a bit.

Private to those into this sort of thing

Big question though. Are there any of those special clubs or rooms for those of us who uh... don't quite cut it with the ladies? As the saying goes.

Not that I'm expecting much, back home it was mostly underground stuff, ya see.

Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will

Hi. I'm Steve and I don't know about you guys, but I'm tired of stagnating while there's likely small crimes going on all around us...I think...Brandon, right? You're the guy who knows about those?

I'm gonna suggest we put a team together to take some of the stress off of you, since all of us, together, can do SOMETHING about making a difference. If you want in to this, let me know, huh? It'd be lower stakes than some of us are used to, which is honestly a good thing. Less chance of people being hurt and all, but still a chance to help people and use our abilities for something good.


Thoughts?

((OOC: If you have a super powered character, they probably got this. Ya'll can decide who you want to respond. This DOES include the Hargreeves, the Marvels, the DCs and others))

So I uh. Wasn't sure if you like birthday stuff but

I made cupcakes

Bad nigh'

Fill me with yer mos' 'eartbreakin' stories so I can be even sadder, mates.

...Some asshole fucking idiot... ...jerk broke the Hollywood sign this weekend.

...as a Native Son of Los Angeles, am I obligated to DO something about this? Like...investigate at least? Cause I've got Pride in the Park to finish organizing, but...

I'm kind of in the mood for a Movie party.

Times I wonder if I’m shitty and disloyal: now.

I LIKE him. I didn’t mean to make that happen or replace him when they’re two separate people in two separate universes, but...

He’s NOT my Bucky, but I like him. And I don’t know what I’m doing with that.

I need to go punch something now.

Good things about the future:

1. No more rationing
2. Goldfish crackers
3. Air conditioners
4. E-readers
5. Steve and Tony
6. The food co-op
7. It's okay to date every kind of person that I like.
8. Chinese food
9. Steve's amazing shower
10. The internet.

Hi. I'm Bucky. Some of you know a me who lost his arm and had a lot more crazy things happen to him after he did something with a train. That's not me yet and I don't belong to the Steve here or anything, but I'm here for keeps, it sounds like?

Steve says I'm supposed to ask something about ASL here?

IM BORED

So, I've been here a while but haven't done my own posting before. Clint figured I should come and say hi this way. Steve Royama, from Los Angeles, but lately I'd been spending a lot of time in New York, until I wound up here at least.

I'm told you guys might know another me, but, uh, looks like I belong here now?

Well, I woke up in the morning, and it's still the wrong year.

I mean, ignoring everything else that's different. I wonder jet lag exists for alternate timelines?
