Second Chances: the Network

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 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?

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?

Sometimes good things do happen around here I guess.

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.

For those still in the city...

Matt and I have been focusing on the noise/sonic disruptor shit on our patrols. It's stronger in some places than others. We've been trying to pinpoint it and there's a few target areas.

[insert map with areas highlighted]

Given how it's affecting folks, pretty sure it's some type of sonic disruptor device. [insert list of types of devices and suggested means of disabling/destructing them]


Here's where we need help:

The goal is to have several synchronized strike teams hit all possible locations tonight (28th-29th overnight) and take out the evil vuvuzelas.

So, any volunteers? (Those of you under 18 - get permission from your guardian before signing up .)


Full disclosure, this is not a zero-risk operation. We'll need all types of skills - getaway drivers, fighters, tech folks, comms, explosives... so if you're in, we can find you a job.


[OOC: anyone who wants their char to be involved can volunteer, feel free to make up teams, talk about specific sonic devices etc. I'm doing some handwaving here. There will be as many areas to hit as we have 'strike teams'. Coulson's thinking 2-3 people per team. No one goes solo.

Feel free to crosspost all you want on this :) ]

UPDATE Wednesday 29 October

Thanks to everyone who helped out last night. It looks like we were successful knocking out the noise disruptors that were causing so many problems for our folks. It looks like things have calmed down significantly.

LAMP

You boys have any new recordings we can listen to?

_{(OOC-posted first thing the morning, 10/25)}

[BatFam+ & Friends]

First and foremost: I'm/we're okay.

Chris and I tried to go to the store last night and were attacked on our way back. They were after me, but Chris pushed me away. He was shot, but he's okay.

( [Wynonna + Chris] (cut for language) )

Enid is MIA. No phone, no tracking. What've we got?


[ ooc; anyone who knows him knows he wouldn't risk posting (AND unfiltered!) this if he weren't absolutely LIVID - he's gonna do a Violence, y'all ]

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 don't believe in coincidences, and I've heard no fewer than four people in the halls talking about werewolves being attacked in the day or so since I arrived. Anyone care to explain? I'm not going to use it for a story yet, I'm just curious.

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.

[ filtered; BatFam+ & Julio Richter & Mike Wheeler ]

Sorry not sorry for the late notice but the boyfriend and I are en route to Mexico for our anniversary.

Enid - you know where the cash stash is. Or bug Jason.
Mike - he says you know where the cash stash is and that you can also bug Jason.

Back in a few days. Don't kill each other while we're gone 😘

[ ooc; El and I meant to handle this weeks ago lmao and work/life ate us both PLEASE PRETEND MIKE WAS HANDLED GUARDIAN-WISE ]

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.

[ ooc; I am turning off tracking on this post - please use it to corral character reactions about the drops so the network comm isn't getting spammed and posts being buried ♥ filter to your own people, text messages, whatever. Your characters don't have to talk to Una at all, it's just a place to corral this. ]

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.

Free bowling, anyone?

If you're up against me, I can guarantee you'll win. The last time I went was when I was in the Underworld, and—with the benefit of hindsight—I think they put up permanent "bumpers" for everyone.

I can do a backflip!!

I have been working on it all week and THE DICK GRAYSON says that we are like brothers and he and his brothers have been helping me do all sorts of cool tricks

and some people here can fly which is really cool cause Conner took me flying.


ALSO I HAVE BEEN HAVING SLEEPOVERS WITH THEM AND THEY ARE THE COOLEST PEOPLE AND ITS FUN AND STUFF.

I miss my parents though.

( Text to Tim )

I'm so glad we're all being more or less responsible about the latest mess we've found ourselves in. How's everyone holding up?

[Tim]

Happy birthday! Where do you want to go for birthday brunch/lunch/dinner? Invite whoever you want. It's on me.

[Margo]

I swear we're doing make up drinks for your birthday. I'm sorry I couldn't get away the day of.
