Second Chances: the Network

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.

As we are all doing our best attempts at avoiding the weather and therefore avoiding being turned into half-fish, would anyone care to join me an evening this week and do readings of some Shakespeare? As it is both the anniversaries of his birth and death, it feels apt.

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.

In my world, we are familiar with people with animal traits. My friend Asui has a frog quirk and has some frog-like traits and features. But I am unsure how to deal with having a green mermaid? Merman? tail.

If Asui were here we could have a race

I spoke with my guardian. She has said yes.

Has anyone else’s pet dog sprouted a unicorn horn?

Unfortunately, I don’t know if this is a natural development for a Kryptonian canine, or if it’s just this place playing a trick.

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?

Trying to find a decent place to train in this city is impossible. The fancy ones are full of people who are there to be looked at, not to do actual work, and the membership fee is astronomical. The other end of the spectrum often smells like wet dog, and I swear that one of them had mold growing in the locker room.

Then there was the goldilocks location: right cost, clean, decent amenities, but full of toxic men with BDE that thought they'd get their jollies by intimidating the short girl.

I know we have a gym here, but I was looking for somewhere that I could work on what I already know and maybe learn some stuff that I don't. Even take some classes. Does that exist, or am I looking for a unicorn?

I have two drastically different questions for the masses, answer one or both, if you like:

1. Since we know time travel/alternate universes are obviously a thing, if you could actually pick where to go temporarily, where would you want to end up?

2. Crunchy or creamy peanut butter? This is a hot topic of debate in our apartment and there is a wrong answer.

I honestly am not sure what to say about this one.

The last thing I expected when going in for my shift at the Clinic today, was to open an upper cabinet that is supposed to be for supplies only to have fifteen to twenty boxes of Oreos come down on my head like a chocolate and plastic film avalanche.

Honestly, you can't make this stuff up.

I was wondering if you might be interested in learning about xenobiology. I'm thinking of putting together a presentation of some sort for the rest of the staff, but thought you might appreciate a one-on-one session. It's a fascinating area!

"こんにちは、緑谷出久です。雄英高校の2年生です。

えっと。英語？マイク先生、ちゃんと英語を学べたかな…"

Hello. My name is Midoriya Izuku Izuku Midoriya. I am 16 and a second year student in UA High School's Hero Course in Musutafu, near Tokyo. I am pleased to meet all of you and was very surprised to learn this was not the result of a Quirk.

Please take care of me.

[Daisy Johnson]
I have been told you are to be my guardian. I will attempt to be no trouble.

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.

Since it's my birthday and I'm working at Edge of Glory tonight, free drinks to whoever can guess my age.

Correction: Boss says I'm not working tonight, just dancing and looking pretty.

[Whoverse]

I expect to see all of you out there to help me celebrate tonight. There will be dancing.

So, I'm not sure if folks have their spring breaks planned out already or not, but the museum has given me a grant to go on a dig and have said I'm allowed to take students with me. I'll be there for close to two weeks - around March 23 to April 3.

UC Berkeley & Stanford have spring break the first week and the high school is off the second week. Folks are welcome to stay as long as they want during that time. I'll also need chaperones, so adults, if you want to come, we can make it happen.

As for sites, currently debating between Montana, Wyoming, and the Dakotas. Should have that finalized in a week or two.

Anyone interested?

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.)

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.
[Kara]
How's your cat with dogs?

I'm willing to admit I probably shouldn't have bothered, but I really thought the jeep was better at handling things like a little cold weather now.

We're all agreed it's this place doing it's weird crap, right? None of this is normal.

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.

Today was my first day of this world's schooling, and I can't say I'm particularly impressed. It's very very different from my studies back on Alderaan, especially because I haven't been attending a formal school for several years. I'm trying to be positive about the experience, but the classes I'm taking aren't really applicable to me at all. I was able to sign up for a language class, though, and I'm looking forward to that the most.

Also, can someone explain to me what pickle ball is? It's my physical education requirement, but I thought pickles were those soured green vegetables that come in a jar at the market?

Most things are better here considering how home was gonna go....but there are some things I still kind of miss from it, which is stupid. But here we are. I remember a Christmas tree lighting town thing in Smallville one year that I got to see with the Kents was kind of fun. I didn't even get to live there very long, idk why now I'm remembering things like that.that I'd never get to see again probably anyway but whatever. Feelings are stupid

[Tim]
Wanna go on a date?
