Second Chances: the Network

My radio station officially switched to holiday music 24/7 until Dec. 26 so I'm officially in the holiday spirit.

[FILTER: Will]

Do you have any holiday traditions you'd like us to do here?

[FILTER: Loki]

I'm stopping by my cousin's for Thanksgiving, but what are we doing with the kids? Joint holiday? I can...cater.

This is a surprise. I don't like surprises that put me in strange places. They make me stabby.

The suits said my people are here.

Another piece of home is gone.

Holidays are coming up but don't really feel that celebratory...But at the very least this place saw fit to gift me my laptop from my lab. Good to have my notes and my media files and well...everything. My life was in there. I did miss my playlists.

[Lydia]
You feel up for a museum day?

[Ray]
You still around?

Alright, I’ve slept on it. You know moving is really exhausting, and I’d kind of just got done moving into a place. Or I thought I was, before getting zapped here yesterday. But this time the moving didn’t come with any of my stuff or my cat, so I’m pretty annoyed about that.

Hey, I’m Carol. Don’t suppose anyone here has a line on some reliable spacecraft I can borrow?

[ Filter: Jyn Erso and Kate Bishop ]

I’m not used to having roommates so sorry for crashing after barely saying hi last night. It’s been a long week.

Hi?

I got my girls out of the city, but my suit keeps hitting critical failure as I try to fly over the city. All other attempts to regain entry have been unsuccessful.

If they're organized. We need to get organized.

I can help manage people and supplies outside of the town, I just need to know who is out here and where you are. At the very least I can make sure the people out here are taken care of and try to get supplies through the inside maybe.

I've found an amazing bakery which does delicious gluten free cakes and bread! Definitely a check in the plus column for this neighborhood.

[Cisco, Kara, Caitlin]

I know it's short notice, but would you like to come over this evening for drinks and cake? I just realised what day it is.

[Samirah]

Would you be okay if we (might) have company this evening? It's my birthday so I have invited some friends over.

Okay, so this is clearly not Boston and not Valhalla. No idea why Odin would send me to San Francisco, this isn't our normal territory. Unless this is just another trick of Loki's, in which case... ugh..

Um, hi. I'm Samirah, and I guess I'm stuck here too?



[Ray Palmer]

Mister Palmer? I believe you're my guardian here. I won't be much trouble. Just don't mind the axe. I think the only weird thing is that I keep a halal diet, but that mostly just affects meat and I can help take care of that. Or I don't mind eating vegetarian if that's simpler.

Since we've had a few new arrivals, I figured it'd be worth it for me to tell folks what I do here. I run a a bit of a consulting firm, that draws on the talents of many of our residents. Consider it an unofficial loose network of superheroes, do-gooders, and vigilantes.

We keep tabs on local chatter from law enforcement and the like and help out where possible, doing what we can to help get clean up the city and make it safer.

If you have skills that you think could be useful or want to help out, feel free to let me know.

So this is nineteen?

Sweet!

Maybe one of these days I won't be as excited about another rotation around the sun (or mundane things like school), but when you've outlived your original expiration date by two years these things are still kind of a big deal.

(and Happy Birthday, Klaus [and Jinu]!)

Hello! I'm newly arrived, and now awake and alert, so I thought I better introduce myself on here before you wondered who the random guy exploring the building was.

There are a few familiar names on the network, but with this being the multiverse and all you might not be the people I know and I might not be the Ray Palmer you know. Please say hi anyway, new friends are always welcome!

I see that there are some hero/vigilante types in this world and in this little part of the population, so another one won't be too much of an issue?

Whatever's happened to the city almost makes me wish I was a biologist. As it is, I've spent much of my free time exploring the various regions - so much biodiversity, it's incredible. It does make me wonder whether you could construct something like this to counter the effects of global warming. Or, back home, to make regions further from the equator more hospitable for dinosaurs.

Unfortunately, though not for lack of trying, I haven't found many fossils, I wonder if that's because these biome regions are not exactly natural - or rather, they were almost instantaneous and not over the thousand or years or more that it normally takes an environment to change.


On a different note, does anyone have a favorite spot for rock climbing around here?
