Second Chances: the Network

Got my hands on some shimmer wine. No, I ain't sharin.


[Rapunzel]
You been quiet. Make it out of that okay?

Sometimes good things do happen around here I guess.

[BatFam+]

Not to be weird, but I came back from class Friday and my computer was here. Like my custom set up from home. With all of our programs.

I took it apart piece by piece to make sure there was no suspicious additions, and I swept it twice for anything that could be pulling data from it, and it's absolutely clean.

I still feel like I should be suspicious.

Kind of a random question, but is anyone good at woodwork? Or good with trees in general?

Can't say that I had getting sent to an alternate version of San Francisco that's a lot like where I'm from but not exactly where I'm from on the bingo card for Shit The Happens To Me This Year.

Might as well make the best of it, I guess.

What's up, everyone? I'm Kate Bishop.

Right I'm not staying in anymore. Found a new type of earplugs to try... Who needs help? I still can't pinpoint that well but I'm gonna try.

[Tim]
Where are you?

[Batfam+ filter]
Is Tim with one of you?

[ooc note: assume it's later in the evening or whenever Tim gets himself injured]

I haven't had a headache this bad since the goddamn birds.

Not sure how people can deal with years of schooling when I can barely get through the week without wanting to throw things. How is it not Friday yet?

If anyone hears a smoke alarm going off on the 17th floor, ignore it. I've just removed the batteries and the offending pot of water and it won't be going off again anytime soon.

Eleven
I'm going to the store. Is there anything specific you like to eat or drink? Bonus points if it's something microwavable, but I'll figure something out if it's not.

Bat-Fam & SOs & Guardians & Wards & Eleven & also Clark
I'm ordering takeaway Saturday night and you're all invited over. You'll have the chance to meet Eleven, who's only recently arrived. Eleven, you'll get to meet everyone else.

Note that I said I'm ordering takeaway, so I will entertain zero comments about my cooking skills. Or any about the aforementioned smoke alarm.

Also, if there are any food allergies or aversions I don't already know about, speak up about it now.

And I am certainly not Alfred, but I'll make sure there are cookies.

Kaylee Frye
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're an automechanic, right? I heard something about you owning a garage.

I have been here long enough to see times like these, where a larger group arrives or returns all at once. It does not make anything easier, it will likely never get any more easy to deal with when we lose loved ones.

But now is a time for support. Ask for it, provide it, whatever you need or are able to do. Check on your neighbors, "our people" or otherwise. The smallest offering can make a world of difference in times like these. We are in this together.

Did someone manage to sneak into my bedroom and leave this little friend on my pillow?

Or was it the “magic” of this place?

fuck

matt is like

gone. just gone. phil knows.

at his work and they haven't seen him and then the whole searching thing and nothing and like WHERE IS HE


[ ooc; posted earlier in the day~ ]

I'm starting a parkour club.

Starts in ten minutes. On the roof.

New arrival here. I'm looking for recommendations of excellent coffee shops that aren't run by a corporation.

Bat-Fam
Report in.

Contrary to what you likely believe or have been told, I'm not here to disrupt whatever lives you're living here. I, like you, had little choice in my arrival here.

So that you know where to find me, I'm in #1703.

Clark Kent
Hey Boy Scout.

Damian
Dick told me Jason is your legal guardian. Is that working out for you both?

It's good to know that while you've been here you haven't been alone, you've been among your brothers, Damian.

DC at large
Alternate universes, scattered timelines – has anyone started an investigation into the various branches and intersections of anyone currently and previously present here that have connections in their home universe?

Bat-Fam (Again)
If there are people in your life who are important to you here, please introduce them to me.

[ filtered; Actual BatFam -Bruce ]

Bruce is here. Don't go looking for him, he asked me to give him "a day" to settle in. You know how he is: he needs to look things over, probably confirm the things I told him.

[ filtered; BatFam+ and the rest of the DC-ers - minus Bruce again lol ]

Alright. Bruce Wayne has landed in San Francisco. He asked to give him a day, everyone needs to give him that. I gave him the rundown. He'll know versions of some of you if not you. I wasn't able to pin down his timeline and didn't want to dig. I kind of don't want to actually know. No, I don't have a fever. Yes, I'm pretty sure I'm still myself.

Clark? Pester the Hell out of him :) he'll love it.

[ filtered; Julio Richter ]

Bruce is here. I told him about us and he didn't seem to stick on your mutant ("meta") status like I feared he would. I'm taking this as a win. Gotham is not friendly, Batman wise, usually so I don't know. Maybe because this isn't "his city"? But I'm taking this as a win.

Also, if I disappear for a bit it's not anything you've done or not done. I need to see how everything plays out. B asked for a day. I told the others to give him that.

Well, I certainly did not expect to find myself in San Francisco. Although judging from the fact that there are no dinosaurs roaming around the city, this does not seem to be my San Francisco. Not that San Francisco is mine, I wouldn't presume to suggest that. Er, more this is not the San Francisco from my world.

Er, sorry, this is all just a lot to take in, is all. I was just on Île Saint-Hubert, not that I want to go back there, so this is all just a bit of a shock. Although if we were able to recreate a perverse version of dinosaurs, I should not be surprised at the possibility of universe like ours existing.


Oh, I'm doing this all backwards. I'm Henry Loomis, Dr. Henry Loomis, although I don't know if there's a need for paleontologists here, so maybe the Dr. is irrelevant. I think I need a big cup or coffee or tea. Or maybe something stronger.

How long does summer last before we have to go to that high school?

[Batfam+, +Kal, +Kara filter]
All this talk of birthdays made me remember Tim saying I should pick one..I've never actually had a birthday before? But how does one pick one? A) Random date generator? B)Does it have to mean something? C??)Am I over thinking it? This is stupid, why am I like this etc?

[Teen filter]
So what else is there for us to do on a weekend night? Like Sunday. We had bowling today, and I guess that was cool. But what about tomorrow?

[FILTER TO NON-AFFECTED]

Was anyone else stupidly hoping that a new month would somehow mean things being back to normal? 🙃 Like maybe whatever this is would just wear off?

Dear anyone who had to deal with me as a child: I am NOT sorry.

I am ALSO not sorry that my little'uns are like 100% more well behaved than I was at their ages.

[ filtered; Julio Richter ]

Admittedly, I want my people back to normal but DAMN am I going to miss Jason like this.

DID YOU KNOW that it's like two months away since we officially started dating after people told me we were on a date but we actually weren't so we made it into one?

I hate it here. I want to go home.

[OOC: any comments after the last one to Stiles will go unanswered by Sylvie]
