Second Chances: the Network

Dearest Alexis, thou art a vision most divine, brighter than the sun’s own golden rays, and more radiant than the very stars that dot the heavens.

I humbly beseech thee—permit me to stand by thy side, to share in the joy of thy laughter and the warmth of thy gaze.

Wilt thou, gentle lady, grace me with thy company, and let our fates entwine in the dance of time?

[added after Loki's comment]

Like for maybe dinner and dancing at a place you don't own!!!

Not like a marriage.

Has anyone looked into any of the festivities around here for the holidays? The holiday market sounds fun.

[FILTER: Loki]

Did you want to go to my cousin's for Thanksgiving?

Station Poll --- what is everyone's favorite candy? I want to make sure I have the best candy in the building.

[Alexis, Loki, Jen, Mobius, Asriel, and Sylvie]

I was thinking that we should do family dinner once a week. Or maybe once a month?

Yes, Sylvie, you have to attend.

[FILTER: Loki]

Thank you for your present. We need to have a relaxing night in soon.

I guess since it's supposed to be hot this weekend for some reason, I thought it might be a good time to do a trip to the beach, if anyone wanted to join me. Just throwing that out there.

[LOKI & THOR]

Since I didn't really have anything to move, I went ahead and just went over to the new apartment building. I took the smallest of the bedrooms since you've both got a lot more stuff than I do.

Wanted to let you know so you don't freak out if you notice I'm not at The Station anymore.

The new apartments are very swanky. They're a far cry from my first place in Metropolis. The communal areas are a nice touch.

If anyone needs help transferring to the new building, I can carry heavy loads and move quickly.

I still can’t quite believe it. After all these years, I finally got one of these babies!

Of course, it’s out of town at some lake, but who cares? I’ve wanted one for as long as I can remember! Who wants to come for a ride?

[Private to Asriel]

At some point we should take a weekend away, spend time with your new pony and have a night at a lake house and check out my new gift too? What do you think?

[LOKI & THOR]

I don't know how either of you feel about seeing Asgard again, but I might've made a wish on one of those cupcakes and...

Well. Look. There's a VR headset thing in my room and it's. Just. Asgard. My Asgard, I think, but I doubt much is different from what both of you knew. If you want to borrow it, you can. Just make sure you put it back.

Well damn, if I'd known the whole make a wish thing was for real, I would have put some thought into it.

Know anyone who might be willing to help me eat all this?

I've been through multiple dimensions. In every single one there was a Stephen Strange and a Christine Palmer. And in every one, he lost her.

I don't know why I expected this one to be any different.

I'm grateful America is back, I honestly am. But I can't say I ever saw myself doing the single dad thing. I guess I should pretend I'm glad there's only one of them now.

Isn't this just quaint? Of all the timelines I've been to, I don't think I've ever managed San Francisco. And I'm already aware there was another me here not that long ago. I don't remember any of it, sorry if you were hoping otherwise.

[Loki]

I don't know if Thor already told you, but Angie stuck me in the apartment you and he share. I can- fuck off out of there if you'd prefer.

Nice to see you're okay.

Hey. I just heard about the Kid and Sylvie. Are you guys okay? Let me know if you need anything.

If you've experienced any deja vu or strange temporal phenomena over the last day or so, it's very likely my fault.

I didn't realize my abilities may have been affected until I went through a rather bothersome time loop I've only just managed to get out of.

So is everyone going to this barbecue later? Was it set up by this place or one of you guys because the last time I went to one of these things I ended up not being able to speak for a week. Not really into doing that again.

[Private to Loki]

So I said something I shouldn’t have and upset your younger variant. I hope that hasn’t had any blowback on you. Just thought I’d give you a heads up that I’m apparently not so popular with all of your variants.

[Private to Sylvie]

I’ve been meaning to say hello, but it occurs to me that I’m not sure when you’re from. So, yeah, do you know me?

It has seemed that this place has blessed me once again. My family has expanded as more siblings arrived--- Sylvie and YngisLoki (though you may just call him Loki).

I know that, as they are clones of my brother, their reputation proceeds them. They my need time adjusting, but should be treated just as you would treat me.

Should anyone have issue with them, come see me, I will take full responsibility for their actions.

Thank you.

did i just spend $200 on registering the alligator as an emotional support pet so they can't stop me from taking him into the starbucks? don't worry about it.

also, did you know they'll give you free drinks to take your alligator back out of the starbucks?

This isn't even half as cool as the last alternate dimension I was in. But nobody's trying to kill me here either, so I'll give it a few points.

Like, two.

It was really cool.

Rictor. Ric. I'll even respond to Julio if that makes you happy for some weird reason. You know, the whole 'call me anything, just don't call me late for dinner' gag.

The Me who was yesterday decided windsurfing was a very fine idea, indeed.

The Me who is today is contending with a broken ankle, and the pervading question of what in the Nine Realms possessed me?

What an absolutely beautiful day! The sun is out, the weather is nice and warm, the birds are chirping and I am in LOVE!

That’s right! I don’t care who knows it! I’m done hiding.

For all of you who were concerned, May is home safe. She's a bit shaken up still but I'm sure she'll check in with all of you very soon. Give her a bit of time to rest and be with her family and if I know her, she'll be worrying over all of you in a matter of minutes. One of the first things she did was make sure no one else was seriously hurt.

[Klaus and Stephen]
And thank you both again for everything. I don't know how we would have managed if Klaus hadn't been able to get to her and Stephen hadn't gotten her out.
