Second Chances: the Network

This place is weird. I mean it does shit like steal all your socks and send you to freaking space. On the other hand, it also gives you your Baby.

My car. My car is my baby, we've been making up for lost time.

I can't be the only one thinking of how to make a replicator. HOPE. COME HELP. Or save me. Either one.

I should probably eat something... I'm thinking Mexican. QUICK. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DELIVERY.

Hey remember the thing with the guy and then it was like "oh" and my guys basically fired him before it actually went anywhere?

Heyyyyyyyyy we've got a problem at X-Con. Luis was talking at me for a good 20 minutes. Might need you to sit on him.

hi..

Show of hands, who believes this is an alternate dimension? Is this a cult? Are they keeping you against your will?

I am curious, do any of you have any holidays that seem specific to where you come from? Ones that aren't shared with/by this place.

As an example, where I come from there is a First Contact holiday which is when Earth was approached by the Vulcans because the humans had achieved warp-capable technology.

Kirk and I went drinking the last time. We should do the same.

I guess stating that I have somewhere else to be isn't really going to do me much good, is it?

Still not convinced this isn't a dream or a halluci

Look, I love Fruit Loops and Cocoa Krispies as much as the next person, but I think there is such a thing as too much cereal and having boxes of it overflowing out of my closet? That's a little much, universe.

Coming here for a small vacation in hopes of getting some work done has been seemingly worthless. People seriously have no respect for their neighbors! Argh!

I'm just gonna come out and say it, if you're rooting for the Chiefs you're wrong. But you're welcome to come over to mine anyway, I'm making enough wings to feed an army and there's plenty of beer to go around. May's will probably be quieter if you want to watch the game in peace, there's gonna be lots of yelling over here.

Go Eagles.

[Household (Hardison & Prim)]

I won't be offended if y'all want to cut out today and avoid the noise. Hardison, there's plenty of wings for you to take some and hide. Prim, sweetheart, it really is going to get loud, you might want to borrow some headphones from Hardison if you want to stay in your room, but you're welcome to come out and see what all the yelling's about. I'll explain the game to you.

Okay, so. End of the world? Not end of the world? Demons screwing shit up again?

No reason, just taking a poll.

[Private to Eliot Spencer]
Admit it. You being in charge of a kid was a good idea.

Disciplining her will likely be grounding her from chores. Making her watch TV or something.

Also, just so you are aware, I am an expert knife thrower. Made a resolution to try it. All the years of watching you made me excellent at it from the start.

I would've been happy to keep the keen hearing from last week. It'd make part of my job easier. But the trade off of the change...

Man, to those who go through that regularly, I salute you.

I love baking when it's cold.

And there are so many ingredients and choices at the store.

This place is really magical.


I made a lot of different banana breads if anyone wants some?

I cant keep my plant alive

and i failed a math test

what if I'm going to be a bad adult??

I think there's been a zoo break, because I'm having breakfast with a penguin?

I went out for coffee and pastries and came back with a little black and white pal. We're in the courtyard and he or she is friendly enough.

I am so happy to have the next few days off. These past few days have been exhausting.

So the sort of holidays where people get together and celebrate over food haven't really been my thing most of my adult life, but I can make some pretty decent matzah balls and challah bread if anyone is looking to add a little Jewish flair to the table for Thanksgiving next week.

I am skipping school today because THIS DRESS WON'T COME OFF WHICH IS FINE BECAUSE ITS REALLY PRETTY

and i want a tea party.

IS EVERYONE ELSE REALLY PRETTY. so much poof

Los Angeles Dodgers?

And the Giants are right here in San Francisco?

I feel unwell.

Today's my birthday and normally I wouldn't celebrate it, but this year feels like it should be considered special, so I'm trying to figure out something to do on short notice.

I should've planned this out and gone on a roadtrip to Yosemite or something. 😂

I think the strangeness hit me today. Everything smells like cookies. I mean everything.

I admit it: I am bored. It's been far too long since I've had this much leave and while I found work to do from home and on the side, I am not suited to be kept in one apartment or the other.

I welcome suggestions for places to go/see or things to do. I would also welcome company if anyone finds themselves in the same position.
