Second Chances: the Network

I don't like the dungeons. What happens if someone tries to quest you and you say no? Are they okay?


[ Simon ]

Do I need your official permission or anything to get a job if I'm seventeen?

And I guess if I do, can I?

[ Dr? Mr? what the fuck is a sheph Shepherd Book ]

Hi. I'm Tobias. Simon's my guardian. He said I might like to talk to you. Therapy type stuff. Is that okay?

Well, that’s certainly one way to start my birthday! A side quest unlike my usual ones.

It’s lucky my colleagues are used to my sudden dashes from the office. Though I was speedier in my return this time.

I want cake. Do you need a reason to buy a cake and eat it?

[Bruce w.]
What about Hawaii?

[Lois]
What do you do when you don't really want to do anything but doing nothing is also annoying?

[Dick]
Luthormemories are less. Maybe your circus thing isn't that bad.

I can't sleep. I don't know how long it's been. Cat seems to like me now though which is interesting.

[Matt]
Taking a break from lessons.

[Dick]
Do you have kryptonite here?

If I've been quiet, it's because talking about feelings is bullshit.

I know none of us wants to talk about it but if you do, let me know.

Or bring me a cake and I'll decorate it for you.

Or we can go beat the shit out of some punching bags, but not each other.

Lois

Have you got time in your busy schedule for me again? Dinner and dancing?

To be clear, I'm asking you on a date. I won't be offended if you say no. I also won't be offended if you try and punch me next time you see me.

I can't hear Tim.... Someone tell me he's with them?

[edit added later]He's gone

I can't


[Q]
...is his stuff still there?

One of the orange barn cats decided I was taking it home apparently. I never expected to have a cat? He's very judgmental though. Kind of amuses me. I've decided his name is Mylo.

Always thought I'd end up with another dog. But here we are googling cat stuff.

I'm bored.I actually bothered to clean my room, I watched Tim study and obsess over what's due Monday, I found lost socks from the dryer (aprox. 20 lost pairs found), went to the park and touched grass.

Saturday is overrated.

The kittens seem like they're doing good. Might have got into an internet slap fight about declawing in a cat community though. Whoops?

[ Simon ]

What if I wanted to go out of the city for a weekend?

I wish whomever gave us these wings would tell us when they were going away. They really be getting in the way. Much easier to fly without them.

Todays fall count: 3.

We all agree that the best part of Valentine’s Day, or Halloween, or Easter is the day after when all the candy goes on steep discount, yeah? Had a grand time raiding the leftovers at the CVS this morning. There were still a ton of those candy hearts with words on it like ‘sweetheart’ or ‘true love,’ but as they have the consistency of chalk and generally taste like what I’d imagine chalk would, that’s not a surprise.


(ooc: hi guys, the internet situation is somewhat resolved — work sent me a Starlink Mini, and my neighbors have had theirs restored and are happy to let me use it, so I’m gonna dip my toes back in. Will still be somewhat slow on responses as the Starlink is data capped, but supposedly I’m on the list for repairs and will hopefully get my fiber connection fixed by the end of the month.)

That's a little redundant. I woke up from resting with wings.

...Also the dog does I found during the ice does seem to have an owner. That owner wants him back. :/ I don't love today. He's going to come get him in an hour.

I'm not used to the airspace being so crowded.

Is it going to bother anyone if I sleep on the roof?

Side note: maybe practice flying close to the ground before you stretch those new wings I'm seeing crop up. I'm guessing they don't come with how-to-fly instincts and you don't want to catch a thermal before you know how to handle it.

The Liaison Officer tried to explained things but I am kinda freaked out right now. I was at a gas station and the next thing I know I'm here! And it's freezing outside. But the officer said I should post something so... okay?

My name's Diana, I'm 17, originally from Chance Harbor, Washington, which I can't find online anywhere. No searches or no maps nothing. So other than the being-15ish-years-in-the-future thing, there's that. Though, technology's really improved since 2012. Is this normal? Are we just here now and that's it?

Okay... No Grant, no Circle - but you were trying to clear your head anyway. You didn't cast anything to get here, you didn't cast reflexively when you got here. You're fine.... You just need to keep a lid on the dark. And try to keep calm. You can figure this out. Just hold it together.

[Una Chin-Riley and Christopher Pike]
The Liaison Officer gave me your names and said that you two would be keeping an eye on me. That's really nice of you - and I appreciate it - but I can look after myself; I don't want to impose. And it might be safer...

I know we have bigger problems and this is a random statement but

It's weird when you hear two people arguing (Jason and Yelena. It's Jason and Yelena) and they switch languages mid-sentence. Multiple times. And it's weirder when you can follow the argument.

Which brings me to my point and I know it's been asked before but I'm asking again:

Other than English, what languages do you speak? I'm only claiming fluency in 12. Yes, I realize that's a brag. But I blame Bruce.

Heat visioning the ice only does so much but if anyone's patrolling still and needs it, just yell for me. Helped this dog out that looked like a Popsicle and now it won't stop following me around.

He's kinda cute I guess.

How's your cat with dogs?

If you want to be humbled, walk two streets over to that coffee place that roasts their own blend, pick up a large to-go cup and a two bags of said blend, and then slip on ice while crossing the street, dumping your recent order all over yourself.

The police officer that saw it happen did at least help me up, but not before he had a good laugh at my expense.

So like, half my class didn’t show up today. I think this weather is keeping people home. The profs are making noises like classes might be cancelled if this gets worse.

Cold doesn’t bother me so if anyone needs anything while I’m out, just send me a message.
