Second Chances: the Network

No wings on me yet, but I'm seeing a powerful need for some wardrobe updates for those of you afflicted. I've got some designs I'm still toying around with, many of which involve tunic cuts and wrap around ties.

Hit me up if you want to try a couple out or want me to take a stab at altering your tops so you can stay decent when you're out there winging around this fair city of ours.

Getting real stir-crazy. Not a great look on someone like me.

Any of you invulnerable types willing to let me hunt you reenact The Most Dangerous Game underground tonight?

For "enrichment" or whatever.

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.

For those of you that do not as of yet have plans for the new year, my family and I have the intention of hosting a gathering at ours next Wednesday evening. The theme is The Golden Era (or Golden Age, if that feels more familiar), at Claudia's request, with official invitations to be provided in the upcoming days.

Don your best classic regalia and join us for a beautiful evening to celebrate the upcoming year.

Everyone wish Eddie a happy birthday!

[Eddie]

I have your present.

So, that art show I mentioned last month. It's happening this weekend! And I swear I'm not freaking out There's an opening reception Friday night from 6pm to 11pm and you should all come! There will be snacks & drinks (non-alcoholic and some alcoholic) and a whole bunch of really amazing art!

And while Karl (aka, the fog) has been extra heavy lately and is a vibe, I really need these painting to dry before Friday.

Speaking of, my fellow artists - I need your stuff by noon friday (or earlier) so we have time to get it all hung.

Anyone ever done Secret Santa here before? Looks like it could be fun.

Since we went away last year, are we staying here this Christmas? I want to put up a big tree and invite people around for a proper party.

Luz's upcoming art show has given me an idea, but I need some volunteers.

I'm looking for 5-6 people willing to let me follow them discretely at night and take candids. I've never been one for portraiture, but I like capturing people in their unexpected moments.

Trust me, you won't even know I was there.

And I promise I won't use anything embarrassing or compromising.

_{[OOC: let's all pretend this was posted tonight]}

I've been thinking about things to do for our community after last month. The brunches are nice, but I keep having that line from RENT in my head, "The opposite of war isn't peace, it's creation." So, I'm thinking we should do a community art show in the building. I know a lot of folks here have creative talents (I'm not going to name names, but I may come find you later)

Bonus: I need to do an art show this semester, and I think it'd be great to host it in our building. Two birds, one stone.

So, if you want to submit something(s) for the art show, let me know. I'm thinking early to mid Decemeber? That's enough time to throw something together, right?

I realize it is somewhat short notice, but if any of you would care to join me at Edge of Glory on Friday night, I'll be taking the evening off from work and instead, celebrating my birthday.

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.

You boys have any new recordings we can listen to?

I don't know if this will work

Louis and I are stuck and there's barely no service and it's nearly light we're underground.

I do not wish to cause alarm, but it should be known that there was an attack last night on some of the wolves.

While I have no information on who they were or why they were there, I did gather an immense feeling of anger and panic from them as they retreated. One of them may also have some broken bones. Do with that information as you will.

Looks like my best friend is gone.

Who needs suits repaired or projects done? Super or regular, whatever. Please give me anything and everything. By the way for the new here. I do that. I am a Master Tailor. Things need repair? Hello, hi. I can fix them.

Appointments are still remaining as is unless you obviously need to cancel, then let me know.

[ooc: obviously please assume this is before the werewolf thing, sometime in the afternoon/evening]

[LOUIS DU LAC]

What would you like to do for your birthday, mon cher?

[Pretend this was posted in the early morning hours]

Just a quick note to wish our darling Claudia a happy birthday. You are so very loved, cherie. The world is yours tonight; anything you wish to do, just say the word.

Louis and I hope you love your gift.

The full moon is almost here; reach out if you're feeling extra strange. This one is a total lunar eclipse.

Who is going out with me tonight to scope safe territory? Our usuals have probably changed.

Now that the 'ber months are here, I have a question for everyone.

Are you a pumpkin spice person or apple cider? Or other?

PUPPIES!

That's it. That's the post.

I'm not posting this to demand well wishes or whatever. More to poke fun at myself. I turned 29 yesterday and with everything that has been going on I actually forgot my own birthday. Who does that?? The last birthday of my 20s went out not with a bang but a whimper.

I should have lined up a dinner date with some rando. At least made the day weird.

[ filtered; Stiles and Lydia ]

And thank you for the birthday pancakes and overall breakfast. That was sweet and thank you for not making too much fun of me for being so confused as to why it was happening.

[ filtered; "LLC" ]

The gift basket was super sweet. Thank you. It was a weird day and I can't believe I actually forgot.

[ filtered; Jason Todd ]

And YOU. Thank you. I love the shirt, the gift card will be put to very good use. And it means a lot that you remembered while dealing with everything you are.
