Second Chances: the Network

[Private to SO18 actual bandmates only]
So I know that Julie and Luke usually do the song writing. But I was thinking about how we first met Julie. Then Phil and Matt's wedding. Then about Alex and Stiles.

And then Adaine.

( And maybe this is something? )
[end]

We have a lot of theater people, right?

Would anyone be interested in maybe staging a brand new musical that made me pass my independent study last year with flying colors but might need more work and workshopping before it's ready ready?

[Private to Adaine]
I don't want to distract you from finals and stuff, but if you need a break from studying, I can have a picnic ready in ten minutes. You just send out the SOS.

Not where I thought that door would lead, but okay.

Is it true that they’re pretty much always painting the bridge or is that an urban myth?

We're so back, babyyyyy!

Can't wait to get to the studio.

[Stiles]

But first... how do you feel about the Maldives?

Happy Anniversary!

(Thanks, random Easter egg...)

I just unlocked a new fear, and it has nothing to do with space.

Did you know that polar bears are one of very few animals that see humans as prey? I didn't, but now I do.

Save the ice caps. Keep polar bears in their homes and away from tasty tasty people.

Okay but hear me out: SO18 puts on a show IN SPACE. Captain Pike sir, any idea if we could get instruments??

Matt, Natasha, Yelena, Alex, Luke

If we were to suggest spending part of memorial day weekend getting married, would you all be able to make it? Because your presence is somewhat essential.

[Filter: Alex, Julie*, Luke, Lydia, Reggie]
(*I won't be commenting on my own post, pls play pretend)

It might have taken a few all nighters to get there but I'm actually caught up on everything after the disaster that was whatever we're calling that. (The time Luke almost became a husband? No? Too soon?)

Anyway I was thinking we could do something this weekend. With all the weird you haven't all had a chance to get to know Lydia outside of everything I've told you about her and she could really use the support right now.

...all good things Lydia, I swear.

Unpopular opinion but I kind of love Daylight Savings? Like, unironically love. Dont @ me.

[Filter: Luke Patterson]

Heeey, broseph. How we doing??

[Filter: Luz Noceda]

Soooo, real talk? Real talk. You said a thing and I totally freaked out about it and now I feel like I'm not talking to you which is not a thing for the record so hi! You have very pretty hair and a cute smile and you're one of my favorite people so can we talk? Let's talk!

[ filtered; Julie Molina ]

Okay. Okay try to not freak out because I'm totally not freaking out if you're not freaking out so that helps. Right? It helps.

Are you okay? Did anything happen?

I might have gotten married. I'm

I don't even know right now.

[ filtered; Mal ]

Hi.

That's about all I've got right now.

[ filtered; Matt Murdock ]

I'm sorry I called you a stalker.

Also: I might be married. HELP? Wait. Even better. Where are you??

[ filtered; BAND* + FAM ]

IS EVERYONE OKAY?? Like actually-okay not I HATED THE MIND GAMES THING because that's not okay in general.

Has anyone needed to do a marriage license at any sort of expedited pace? I might need some guidance.

[ filtered; MAL ]

So we're really doing this?

[ filtered; ENID SINCLAIR ]

It's stupid. I know. But it's [...] tell me it's not the worst idea ever. It'll fix some things.

Filter: Luke Patterson]

Hey man, is Alex home right now?

[ETA, after Luke's reply...]
[Filter: Alex Mercer]

I need to tell you so LydiaLydia showed up earlier today. And I'm going to come over so we can talk about it. But I just wanted you to know she's from way before any of me. I don't know if that helps but I'm really hoping it does. I'm sorry. I know this is weird.

Thank you, Niko, for introducing me to 90s music. Honestly, there was so much missing in my life until I discovered these songs.

[Niko]

So... I learned how to make playlists. Check these out.

Let's meet this afternoon to practice our choreography, bestie!

I've gotta admit, this meditation thing is actually helping. I mean, it can't do anything about the whole mutant powers thing, sure, but I swear to god my mind feels clearer every day.

[FILTER: SYD BARRETT]

How are you doing? Now that the whole... wolf thing is over and everything is back to normal? Or as normal as it gets for us anyway.

[Matt, Luke, Alex]

Should we postpone Matt's birthday lunch till the weekend?

ETA: The boys have decided it's now a brunch. Compromise.

[Friends & Fam minus Matt]

Given everything, I think it's we postpone Matt's birthday /proposal event until the weekend, hoping things calm down by then.

Edited: Slight change of plans. We're on for today. 1pm, Exploratorium Upstairs terrace. It's his birthday today, so we're calling it a birthday party.

[Friends & Family (minus Matt) ] *feel free to assume if you think it makes sense or ask

So. I need help. Or a favor. Or well. Something.

I think I'm- I'm going to propose to Matt. While a big proposal isn't really our style - no flash mobs, I think he'd appreciate having you all there afterwards to help celebrate.

[Yelena]

I've lost it, haven't I? What do you think he'll say?

[Matt]

Given the craziness here, I'm tempted to ask if there's anything on your date night bucket list.

Hey, everyone? Did anyone else get "ambushed" by a person asking trivia questions? I got a gift card to a coffee shop out of it so I can't complain. It was just a little odd!

In retrospect, using similar sized boxes and the same wrapping paper on top of not tagging things beforehand, was probably really stupid of me. Lesson learned! If you got something really weird from me, please reach out. I'll try to get it all sorted out.

You know what they say—it's the thought that counts.

[Stiles & Yelena]

I definitely know yours got switched. The drumstick charm is supposed to be Stiles's, while the unactivated location (luggage, or just people) tags are for sure Yelena's. So sorry! Also so embarrassed.

Oh... hey.

So the sun is here.

Thats... good.





I'm Teo.

This is going to sound insane. Is anyone else having like... really really weird dreams lately?

Just wanted to give a several days removed thanks to my apartment mates for keeping me from burning down the kitchen when we all seemed to be possessed of the need to make dinner. I appreciate you navigating me away from the stove and putting me on dish duty.

It was the wisest move all around.
