Second Chances: the Network

This is the kriffing worse. I can manage in the fog, but the ice? Yeah, no. I ate ground a little more than I wanted.

Is this normal weather here? I hate ice planets. I don't like being cold.

[Band Filter]

Should we meet up tonight? Plan out a wedding playlist over pizza?

It's funny that no matter how many different calendars I learn about - lunar, solar, other planetary ones... something about the Terran calendar year turning over still feels like a new start.

And I/we've got some good news to share. Operation: Put a Ring on It was a success!

SHE SAID YES!

For some unknown reason, the gods have smiled and Una's agreed to marry me. With everything that's happened back home and here, felt right to seize the opportunity.

Una

No take backs.

Quentin & Adaine

Thanks again for all your help with this.

[[ooc: anyone who was at the Parker/Stark/Maximoff Thanksgiving got this news in person first! React accordingly!]]

Since our family knows and good things definitely shouldn't be kept a secret...

The thing I'm most thankful for this year is that at Halloween I asked the most beautiful, brilliant, and intelligent woman in the world to marry me. And I'm even MORE thankful that Dee said yes!

Yes, it's a little earlier than we initially planned but this place is chaotic at best and it felt like the time to do the asking.

No, we haven't set a date, everything is still very much in the planning stage and we might do the long engagement thing cause, you know, still in school and all and we're going to probably play it by ear.

In case anyone doesn't have plans today, feel free to drop by our apartment (509). We'll have food throughout the afternoon and evening. There will of course, be turkey (which has been brined since earlier this week) and all the fixings including plenty of vegetarian options and three types of stuffing because I might be an overachiever. And multiple pies since my response to the apple vs pumpkin vs pecan debate is all of the above.

Come for as long as you want or just for a doggie bag.

[Starfleet + Chris & Una's Friends & Family]

All of you are obviously invited and welcome to bring friends/guests. There's no way we're going to run out of food

[SpaceFantasy]

In case I/we don't say it enough, Adaine, I'm so grateful you're in our lives and part of our family here.

[Quentin]

After the holiday, I may need your assistance with something.

Craziest thing yesterday. I tried to set a world record for the longest air guitar. Not the largest. That would require the entire city. But the longest. I just couldn't stop. I don't think I set anything, but I certainly tried.

[Alex and Luke]
I got one of our original tees. The ones that dissolve when they get wet.

We've come a very long way. I'm glad you're on this ride with me.
[end]

[Alexis, Julie, and Enid]
I want to do something special for Adaine, to make her feel special just because, but also for reasons. I don't mind being cheesy, but I want it to not be too cheesy, and I need help.

I got her a locket that looks like a book that holds four pictures. I put in a picture of her and Fig and one of her and Pike and Una. Would it be too presumptuous to put in a picture of her and me?
[end]

Hey, now that things are a little chill again now, I need someone who is good at hitting to teach me how to be good at hitting.

Thanks.

Well the good news is this is going down in October which means I can stress eat Halloween candy while people smarter than me figure out what the hell to do.

Enid is MIA. No phone, no tracking. What've we got?


[ ooc; anyone who knows him knows he wouldn't risk posting (AND unfiltered!) this if he weren't absolutely LIVID - he's gonna do a Violence, y'all ]

We were meant to get back into the city tonight but there's a roadblock? Does anyone know anything about this?

There was meant to be a detour but it's blocked too.

I'm really glad my classes are online because I don't think I could make it to school tomorrow. I feel absolutely wretched, is this normal? I know it's flu season but I don't usually get the flu...

Glinda? Galinda? No, Glinda. Are you running for queen? Or president? I don't think you can be a democratically elected queen. Maybe an empress? Or something? There's lot of big pink bubbles involved. And chanting. But not like spell chanting, I don't do chanting in my spells do you??

[Albus]
I'm glad most of your family showed up but you should probably tell them if you're planning on turning into a cat. And you can't hunt Boggy either, that wouldn't be nice.

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?

It's kinda weird. I mean, yeah I obviously miss Fig a lot. But losing her just kinda made me miss the other Bad Kids even more somehow. Not that I don't absolutely love the people I've met here but... I dunno. It'd just be nice to have both? I think?

[Albus]
How is it having your mum here? And...close to the right age, I think? At least way closer than last time. She doesn't know me but that's probably for the best

While things are kind of objectively terrible, re: recent mass exodus, life still goes on.

That being established: what are we doing for Stiles's 21st birthday?

I have a couple of ideas, but I'm also totally open to suggestions.

Did someone manage to sneak into my bedroom and leave this little friend on my pillow?

Or was it the “magic” of this place?

matt is like

gone. just gone. phil knows.

at his work and they haven't seen him and then the whole searching thing and nothing and like WHERE IS HE


[ ooc; posted earlier in the day~ ]

before the disappearance announcement


Following up on previous discussions - communal joint birthday party for evereyone who's birthday fell during the last month of .. shenanigans. Sometime this weekend?


LAMP

There's birthday pancakes with fruit and chocolate chips once you drag yourself out of your bed cocoon, Alex. And let us know when you want to do family birthday dinner - tonight or tomorrow? I know Stiles has you for most of the weekend, but he's also invited to birthday dinner.

Loki

You can hold onto 'Fandral' for the time being if you wish.

[ADDED LATER AFTER THE DISAPPEARANCE ANNOUNCEMENT

[Natasha]

You okay kid?

Pretty sure being 10 again isn't a thing anyone expects. Pretty sure me being 10 again wasn't a thing anyone needed.

I don't think I'm sorry for all the questions. Apparently I had a lot I needed to know. But thanks for everyone who put up with them.

[Wally]

But I am sorry about the deep philosophical questions about your death, man.

Fig is it your birthday?

I had this like...dream I guess but I wasn't asleep it's more like a feeling or something but you had a cake and everyone was in our apartment singing to you and that kinda feels like a birthday?

If it is you have to tell me so I can go get you a present.

[Filter: 18+ (non de-aged)]

How many birthdays have ended up being missed because of all this? Is the plan still to combine forces for one uber party?

[Filter: The Band]

I'll be honest and admit I'm glad I didn't have to wrangle any mini Luke's, Reggie's or Alex's these past few weeks.

Love you!
