Kaylee was just helping me with something I had to do. Didn’t want to bring that trouble to any of your doors so leaving seemed like the best option.

Filter: Eliot Spencer

Your tip about that shady guy at the bar paid off. Thought you should know.

Filter: Kitty Norville

Hey. [...] Sorry.

So we've got us a job. Got some folks been attacked needin to get out the city. I might have found a truck we can do so with. Kaylee gonna need your expertise on gettin it into our hands though. It's been sittin for a while.

走私人口不是我们的日常工作，但这是一份工作

[Ginny]
Ain't gonna be in tonight. Got somethin to take care of.

[SERENITY CREW + MEDICAL/HEALER TYPES]

I'm doing this as privately as I can, as I don't trust that our network isn't under surveillance.

The clinic isn't open to the public yet, but it's enough should anyone need it now. Things only seem to be getting worse, unfortunately, so please spread the word to our residents and let them know that's where I'll be for the foreseeable future.

Additionally, if we know anyone who is able to put a layer of wards on the clinic, that would be appreciated. Better safe than sorry.

[LYDIA]

Checking in. Are you doing alright?

I know this ain't the time but what kind of 肏你妈 coward breaks up with a girl while giving her a ride to work?? 他妈的

你他妈的去死吧 Dean Winchester.

Shop boys are gettin me home later, don't worry none.

(ooc: pretend this was posted in early morning hours of Oct. 15. I'm just putting it up while I've got a minute amid renovation stuff!)

If you go out at night, don't go alone. Two guys and one girl were waiting about halfway between the pub and the building tonight on my way back from work. I don't know if the goal was just to scare me, or steal my stuff, or something worse, but they clearly had thought this through. Unclear if it's got anything to do with all the other odd stuff, but after Mal's experience at the pub, I've got to wonder.

One of the blokes has a mean right hook. If my magic was working properly, I would have hexed him before he got close enough to make contact.

Sorry for the too-early wake-up call, Al. But I thought you'd rather hear it from me directly than on here. Are you still doing okay?

This is gettin real irritatin followin me at the bar. I'm bein watched? By gorram who? Ain't no one there but the black and the Shepard. Well? Speak up for yourselves proper like and I'll shoot you less. Maybe.

[Crew]
Gonna need you all to check in again.

Do we happen to have access to surveillance around the building? Seems like something that could be useful.

[Serenity Crew]

Had an unusual occurrence tonight - Was coming back from grocery shopping and noticed someone watching me before I came back to the building. They caught me watching them watching me, but just kept staring. Eventually they moved away. Didn't try anything or do anything, but it was... strange.

Any of you got a spare firearm around? Just to be prepared.

Okay. Let me get this straight:

1. It's 2027.
   
2. Not only am I stuck on Earth, but I'm also stuck in the stupid past
   
3. So no holodeck.
   
4. No food replicators.
   
5. And again, stuck on Earth.

Does anyone know where I can get a really good stiff drink? Or five?

This is a new sort of new. Wasn't quite expecting this, but guessing no one does.

What the kriff- Name's Poe. Got the rundown and a key. Guess this will teach me to have a moment of wanting a vacation. My wish got twisted when granted or something.

I don't suppose anyone knows if there are professorial openings at the local college or university that might need a highly-specialized professor with a background that's probably not at all useful in this world? Or I can probably teach British history or British literature or something if I tried hard enough.

Hullo, everyone. I'm Harry Potter. You might already know my wife, Ginny, the fiery red-head with a lot of opinions who works at the Bit and Barrel. Or my son, Albus, the smart, driven one who I'm told has been here for years even though I just saw him yesterday at school.

Albus
Your mum tells me you've been here for a few years already? How's that going for you? You all right and such?

Folks really ought to learn to hold their liquor better. Or choose better targets for a fight than someone at least three feet taller than them.

...Was might funny though throwin him out. An attempt was made to fight me over a lost game of pool.

[Ginny]
My bad. He was gettin out of hand.

Mystic Hearts is looking for a sales associate. It's a great opportunity for work experience and can provide flexible hours. If you feel like your energy is drawing you to this, feel free to make inquiries. I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.

What do we think about having crew dinner by the pier this week? It might be interesting to try a new location, though I have enjoyed our dinners regardless of where we have it. It's just a suggestion.

If you are into drinks or games, you should come see me at my new place of work — The Bit & Barrel. Can't say I've ever been a barkeep for money before, but I know my way around a pint. Apparently the customers like my accent — except the bloke who swore it was fake and was hexed for his trouble.

I'm working most Sundays because they're busy and need the hands, but I managed to get the next one off. Think we're due a proper roast, yeah? Cheer you up a bit since Ned has gone.

OOC: The Bit & Barrel doesn't exist. I made it up! It's loosely based on this San Francisco bar and one I went to about a decade ago. The general idea is an English pub on one floor, and a second bar and several rooms with all kinds of arcade games in the basement. The lower floor is definitely loud/sensory overload. The first is a normal pub-style establishment. Use as it suits for yourselves/your characters. Address and other info will be on the reference sheet in due course!

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.

[ 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. ]

PUPPIES!

That's it. That's the post.

Think I could use a drink or ten. Decent bars? Ain't talkin nothin fancy.

Anyone want leftover Rootbeer?...Can't say I'm a fan.

Well. That sure was somethin wasn't it. First one group, then another. I think we stole a car, Dean...


[ ooc; just putting something up, vaguely timed; if you still wanted to do a kid post set in the morning you can but people can start moving on if they like. PLEASE DO NOT SPAM THE COMMS TODAY.
