SECOND CHANCES NET

Sound off, who's going to prom?

[Luke]

If you haven't already asked Julie, I will hide your guitar for two weeks. And you don't have ghost powers to poof it back.

Hi, from sunny Bermuda... where it's currently nap time!

( Cut to Save Mobile, but Still Publicly Viewable )

Man, my hair has gotten crazy long! When did that happen?


(The "tattoos" are drawn on, Phil, promise. I haven't lost my mind. Yet.)

Hey, man, just got the alert. If you need some time, I we get it, but just know that I'm we're here for you, in whatever way you want or need.

» Hey
» What are you doing later today?

I know there's been a lot going on, I know it's not EXACTLY the time. But we have pizzas, sodas, cake, and general "come together for an hour" on the roof because it's Julie's birthday and I can't let that pass without SOME kind of party. But I didn't want to jam us all into the Murdock/Coulson/Patterson/Mercer apartment.

Quiet, understated, we'll do something way more epic when things aren't weird. So don't feel bad if you can't do this tonight. Aunt Yelena said she's keeping watch and has some other people doing the same, whatever that actually means. And if you want to partake but want delivery? Just say the word. No judgment.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JULES.


[ ooc; this brought to you by my looking at the birthdates because I messed something up and OH LOOK, IT'S JULIE'S BDAY WHOOPS. He 100% planned better than this, I'm just sayin' ]

(this is later in the evening, after epic!rescue happened)

I should have done something when he got here but I just froze like a None of you deserved any of that and I’m sorry.

Thanks for doing what you did.

[May]

I don’t think any of that about you.

[Dee]

I’m sorry. For everything.

[Alex]

I never would have just left you waiting like that

I get it if you never want to

My game is chess. Not Go. That was his game.

I don’t know why I’m telling you that but I couldn’t get it out of my head.

[Band filter]

We're all agreed on staying inside together until this is over, right?

[Yelena]

Please be careful.

[Filtered Away from Stiles]

Look, I wasn't going to say anything, because causing trouble is just not a thing I actively try to do, but

I don't think the person we've been interacting with for the last few days is Stiles.

I'm not even sure it's a person. I think it might be a vengeful spirit called the Nogitsune. It possessed Stiles before and hurt a lot of people he cared about.

I think it's doing it again.

I don't know why this needs to be said at all in this day in age.... but DO NOT touch anyone without their express consent. Is that really a hard concept?

I had a middle school kid grab my tail and pull it while I was working today! WHO DOES THAT?!

He was "curious" and "thought it was fake". AS IF YOU COULD BUY A TAIL AS FABULOUS AS MINE.


ugh.

I really picked a great day to be outside. Anyone else get caught in this?

(ooc: As noted on discord, the Nogitsune has done his disappearing and switcheroo with the real Stiles - journal for lack of confusion. Please to be assuming this all looks otherwise to be Stiles talking to everyone!)

All done with the super fun curses? That was gross.

Does anyone else feel like not being in this place for a while? If I still had access to unlimited funds I’d be springing for an overpriced motel. Maybe I need a job.

Oh. So this is how that feels.

I cooked! And the kitchen is still standing. And the pizza is made of cauliflower. Boys, get your PJ's ready, we're having a sleepover.

Happy fucking new year to you too, powers that be.

I know I should send individual cards, but thank you to everyone who came to my birthday, and especially thank you to my friends and family who planned it and made it happen. It was the best birthday, and not just because I made it to 18. 😊😊😊😊😊😊

And now Santa brought me my leather jacket.

I feel very lucky today.

The age limit on these snowglobes is stupid. I've literally traveled across entire kingdoms without adults, but I can't go visit like...Norway or Thailand or something? Pathetic.

[So18]
I have a present for you guys. We can call it Reggie's birthday present that all of you can enjoy, too.

It got me an A.

Okay, not the weirdest thing to happen to me, but it's up there. Top five, at least. Maybe even top three.

Jason, by the way. So I guess I'm just supposed to grab some breakfast and go on with my life?

Soooo I'm new. Dick Grayson.

1. Yes, I've heard all the jokes.
2. I took some time to read back over this network of yours and it's definitely not secure eno found some things so I think I'm good.
2.1. I was apparently here or some alternate version of me was so that's cool
3. If you saw me when I slunk into the building earlier: no you didn't
4. I need a recommendation for a Chinese place. I'm craving lo mein and lemon chicken in particular. Delivery-capable would be perfection.

This place gets SO WEIRD sometimes.

Reggie's birthday is coming up and I know things have kind of sucked for some people but we really, really need to do something big for him.

I had this as an idea: https://flyerthrillzone.com/birthday-parties/
or maybe https://houseofair.com/san-francisco/

But also we could do so many other ideas like buy out a movie theater or something I DON'T KNOW. I'm way overthinking this but we've kind of sucked at the other birthdays because things were going on and Reggie deserves something EPIC.
