Second Chances: the Network

It's been really nice getting to watch the city change with the upcoming holidays. Since this will be my first time celebrating Christmas on Earth, what are some of everyone's favorite traditions?

[Serenity crew]

Drinks tonight? Raise one to Jayne?

That was almost disappointedly uneventful. My minor research into Earth Holidays paid off though apparently. Nothin on fire. Turkey turned out okay. I think. Never had one of those before.

Will only say the day could use more alcohol but ain't terrible.

» I heard a rumor that it’s a certain someone’s birthday tomorrow.
» And that someone neglected to make this information known previously??

Hey, almost birthday girl. What's your Saturday looking like?

[SERENITY CREW]

I assume we're spending Thanksgiving together next Thursday?

[Filter: Friends of Lydia and Stiles (but not Lydia)*]
(*if in doubt, check with Heather or I!)

Lydia’s 18th birthday is on the 20th. Given everything that happened recently she won’t be up for any of her usual style of party but I’m thinking a dinner at The Blue Mermaid (favorite book thing).

Let me know by tomorrow if you can make it so I can grab a table.

So do you get your kicks stabbing your friends or are you just that much of a dumbass that you thought that was a good plan?

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.

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.

Early college admission applications are due in a little over two weeks, so if no one hears from me until then just check with Stiles or Kitty for signs of life.

[ Stiles & Kitty ]

Did I leave my Calculus book and notes at home? I thought I put them in my bag this morning.

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.

It's not every day that your best friend is suddenly years older than you due to alternate universes making time a little weird even by Beacon Hills standards. The obvious benefit to this is that the age jokes get to start that much earlier. (Kidding. Maybe.)

Happy birthday, Stiles. I'm glad to be here for it.

[ Filter; Enid & Willa ]

Would you two be interested in coming to a party tonight? It's for Stiles's birthday. Just a small gathering since we have to fit this in our apartment but I'd love it if you were both there.

[ Filter; Simon ]

Have you spent very much time at Fisherman's Wharf yet?

[Private to Stephen Strange and Simon Tam and Zoe Hart]
I saw mention of a clinic either in the apartment building or near it.

I got space near it. I have the licenses and other official paperwork you need, both through my means and our handlers'.

I just need y'all to go through the catalogs and then walk through and let the contractors know what you need so they can build it out. Don't worry 'bout the money of it all.
[end]

[Filter to 21+ minus Stephen Strange, Simon Tam, and Zoe Hart]
We're opening a clinic near the apartments if you'd like to help fund it. Money isn't an issue, but I wanted to open this up to other residents.

Don't feel like you have to contribute. It's only if you can, and even if you can't, you'll still be able to use it.
[end]

[Private to Clint Barton]
Can I build an arcade in one of your community centers that's closer to home so the kids have something that's easier to get to. And where they won't have to pay to play, but that part's hush hush.
[end]

I might need a new hyper-fixation. I put 100 hours on a new video game in the last week. 👀😵‍💫

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. ]

fuck

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. Feel free to use this post and threadhop to your heart's content. I'm going to turn off notifs while I'm at work today ]

[LYDIA MARTIN]

How are you? Things still seem to be a mess, but it feels at this point we've all just settled into it.

You know, sometimes I think there's some kind of intelligence behind whatever goes on here, because... you know, I didn't get aged down. Which is a good move, I'm not complaining here. But... it's just suspicious.

他媽的天下的人都該死


Deans a teenager, and a gorram moronic one at that.


Kaylee? Where the 他媽的 are you?

I'm sure some of you have seen America is here. She's about 7. From what I can tell, she's from right before it all went to shit for her. She's happy and carefree and adorable and perfect.

And if any of you breathe a word to her about what's coming up in her life, I'll personally demonstrate why there are entire dimensions that won't even speak my name.

Got it? Good.

A word, if I may?
