Apokolips Now! Comm

So this week there is the first weekend of the Christmas carnivals and craft fairs in Smallville. Usually there's hay rides and ice skating along with tons of music and lights. Some of the local bands play and the choirs all come out for caroling. There's something going on every weekend until Christmas.

If anyone wants to go I'll be happy to help make arrangements.

It looks like it's going to snow and my mom is home from Washington. Now it feels like the holidays.

Now if snow didn't make me think of the funeral it would be perfect

I hope we're still on for Thanksgiving. Mom said unless something really wild happens they will recess on Friday for the holiday so expect a mountain of food.

I don't suppose there are any plans for a proper Thanksgiving here, are there? We don't celebrate it in either England, but I reckoned it might be kind of nice to give it a go. It could also do a bit in the way of boosting morale for people who won't have their families around to spend it with this year.

You've been quiet.

Sorry, I'm off patrols for now until I find a way to get a sun overdose. Watch out for a guy who looks like a digger in an Egyptian tomb. He's hard on people who aren't good with magic.

[Lois]
Sorry I'm a terrible patient. But thanks for shuttling me out to feed Shelby.

...are these things going to stay here, like the rest of us...?

ETA: Guys...where have you seen which of these movie monsters/killers/etc? Maybe there's a pattern, like there was when we came in...?

[Sam]
I'm restless.

[Clove]
Are you okay, sweetie? I haven't had a chance to check in and I'm really sorry about that. You need anything? Hangin' in okay?

Oliver's birthday is tomorrow. I know it's far from the best time but considering everything he's been through, I think it's important for him to have a celebration. No matter how small it is.

I'll pick up some food since a couple of the restaurants are still opening for whatever reason and we can all have dinner at the apartment with him around 7 tomorrow night? Maybe a cake too, if we can find one.

I should have asked earlier since these things keep showing back up...do any of the scientists want one? I can control one enough to bring it to you for study or possibly for locking up tight to see if it can get out or not.

So...going outside is kind of overrated, here, I've decided.

[Clark]
Thank you. Seriously...can't say it enough.

[Lois]
So, on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being holy-shit cray, just how fucking insane are you, anyway? Like...is that kind of par for the course for you or...was I just that lucky?

In other news, I'm fairly certain a shared near death experience warrants friendship, now, does it not? Seeing as how that was a point of contention yesterday, I thought I'd mention it.

Oh and also... I fucking told you so :P

[Cordelia]
Sorry I was all weird yesterday...but thanks for humoring me. Very cool of you. ♥

[Filtered to Clark]

I'm here. I didn't want to tell you because I thought it would hurt more than help, but I didn't want to not tell you and have the same thing happen. So...I'm in Metropolis. I'll try to stay out of your way, though.


[Filtered to Lois and Oliver]

First, Oliver. I'm glad to see you're feeling better. You had a whole lot of people really worried for a while, there.

Second, the three of us should start developing a plan for how we're going to get through to Chloe. Thoughts?

So for various reasons since all of you displaced people started showing up here, I haven't really been around much. But I'm back now.

My name's Oliver Queen. And I'm here to help.

[Filtered to Lois, Clark, Peeta, Bart and Jo]

I only met some of you in passing, but I noticed from the boards you have become friends with Oliver since your arrival and this is why I'm extending this conversation to all of you, but it cannot leave this group, it most certainly cannot reach Oliver's ears. I will be monitoring all of you to make sure it doesn'

As most of you probably know, Oliver hasn't been doing as well as he could be. Some of these details might be too personal and not for me to share, but I have been keeping an eye on him and I have noticed some patterns I'm not comfortable with. He hasn't really been himself lately due to some things that happened in the past year or so, and I believe it's time for something to shake him out of this state he's been in.

I have tried most approaches already, but they haven't worked, so I came up with a plan to help him get back to his full potential. Before I give any of you any details, I need to know if I can count on your collaboration or not and I need to know that I can trust you to keep this between us for his sake.

So if anyone wants some we made extra pies this weekend back in Smallville. If no one wants them I'll be putting them in the freezer but I figured it would be better to share if people wanted them. Don't worry Lois had supervision while making them.

Who the hell gave it permission to drop thirty degrees in twelve hours?

So how many coffees do I need to contribute to the cause of my apology before I can ask you out to dinner?

I know there was talk of going out on Thursday. People still up for that because I don't know about anyone else but I could use a chance to let my hair down.

Roll call for who wants to go?

Chloe<--non negotiable
edit: Oliver I'm throwing you onto this list as well because I don't trust you alone
Jo

[Oliver]
So we had to write up the story about your building. Are you okay? I know Lois went over there since I'm still keeping an eye on her

[Chloe]
I'm coming by. No arguments.

So is that offer for the job still open?

Hey, can we talk?
