SECOND CHANCES NET

I think I need a hobby.

[Private for Loki]

Hey, in what you’ve learned about the new timelines, did you ever come across a world with beings called Spectres? They’re kind of like half ghosts, half vampires. Except instead of drinking blood, they suck your will to live.

And sorry I haven’t been around much. If you ever want to hang out, talk, not talk, whatever, I hope you know you can call or whatever. I miss you.

Enjoying winter in the city has its perks. I've yet to endure a cold night. But I'm grateful for spring to finally come in. And soon it'll be warm enough to get in the water. What is the thing to do here in the summer? I heard someone mention jet skis....

[ filtered to Loki privately ]
I don't believe we've been properly introduced. Let's change that.

Is it too early to assume things have finally calmed down?

[ private to Marisa ]

So we have a new friend in the city, hm?
Don't suppose you have any ideas or plans on how to handle that?

It is PI DAY! Who is coming with me to find the best piece of cherry pie?

Oh no! Who would do such a thing?

Did you know that the only predator Bornean orangutans have is humans?

The rain gave me a migraine for days, next time I'll take that as forewarning.

[Asriel]
I hope you can see again. I need my tea pot back.

[Kitty Norville]
Don't mind me if I'm butting in, but... do you need anything?

[Filtered against the villains]

I want to help. I can help. This is our home and it deserves protecting.

[FILTER: Anyone 18+ except Reginald]

I knew that foreboding feeling meant something.

I know it could be another trap, but I'm a working mother. I'm taking the spa day.

If you see me walking into things, well, that must be nice for you because I can't see a damn thing anymore. What's worse is that I think my hearing has gotten better.

At least my neighbors have been entertaining the last few days. Losing my sight has made me incredibly nosy. And someone has been keeping their television on for hours. I'm sure it's for their dog who I can hear howling at people walking by, poor thing. Unless that's another neighbor. Stelmaria might eat me if I step on her one more time.

[ Marisa ]
Not to alarm you but I've lost your teapot.

[ Mobius ]
How's that tongue of yours?

So, rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated. I'm sorry. I probably shouldn't joke, but... do you expect me not to? Anyhow, I see a lot of familiar faces... I would very much like to catch up. Feel free to say hi to anyone who doesn't know Tony Stark already. I don't bite...much.

I swear if this magic was a person, I'd put it over my knee. Somehow, I'm stuck with a trail of glitter everywhere I go!

Seems about that time for the strange and unusual to happen. But sometimes odd can be good. Someone seemed to have sent me flowers. They're quite beautiful and lovely to smell. I'll wear one out today, I think. Marisa, dear, you didn't leave a card or even your name. You sent these, didn't you

Spring must be around the corner, however. My eyes have been stinging something awful all day. I think I might have to invest in... what did you all call them? Ah yes. Sunglasses.

So that is at least two people who are asleep. We need a head count. We also need to figure out what was happening right before people fell asleep.

My husband and I are thrilled to be heading out on a tour of Europe in a few days for our honeymoon. Please don't need us before the week is out.

Are situations like this common here?

[Kitty Norville]
You're turning me into even more of a night owl.

[Asriel]
Who is stuck with you?

If I were to ask one of you, or a number of you, would any of you be interested in being a reference on my resume?

I know most of you don’t know me very well (yet), but it is becoming more and more apparent that I need some kind of job and unfortunately, though I think my skills likely transfer to a lot of jobs, I have no proof of employment and honestly even if I did, I’m not sure anyone here outside of this apartment complex would believe me.

So, any takers?

In today's thrilling life of a photojournalist, you get assigned to cover a guy who decided to DIY a fireworks display and absolutely should not have DIY-ed and now he has 4 fingers and a sore butt so I guess that's how we're both starting the new year.

Also, Jeff says Happy New Year.
