Second Chances: the Network

Anyone else do some easter egg hunting today? All the eggs I found had decent surprises in them, but if you happen to see a gold one, then you should definitely pick it up.

Mine was a family photo from home.

Has anyone got this world’s Steve Rogers’ number?

There’s something I need to check off my things to do before I’m 30 list.

No, I will not elaborate.

[Hope and Scott]
I'd like to grab dinner with you some time around the tenth, but I know with Kamala fasting it might be tricky. Just let me know.

I know anything goes in this place, but I wonder if I'm capable of sprouting wings.

Wanda, my darling, how do you wish to celebrate your birth?

Since post graduate study doesn't exactly pay well I figured I should probably get a job to get me through the next two years.

The good news is there's a 40% staff discount and I don't own enough books (shh, Lydia).

Plead your case for use of the discount. They've got some cool stuff.

Fun Fact: Sustained freezing temps can affect tech in unexpected ways.

For those of us with various ~suits, take care out there.

I'm fine, but trying to dig myself out of a snowbank was no fun. Currently thawing out on the couch, but the Wasp suit is grounded until I can find a workaround for these extreme temperatures.

High beams really don’t do much in this freezing fog, the light just bounces back at you. Be careful if you’re driving today.

Needless to say the redhead stayed tucked away in her parking spot. If the roads ice over, myself and the Ninja will be tiptoeing home.

This brunch is great

THEY LET ME PUT AS MUCH ON MY WAFFLE AS I WANTED

I put on strawberries and nutella and chocolate chips and whipped cream and chocolate sauce on mine.

So this is new. Which I'm sure you get all the time. Jack Wilder. You wouldn't know the name which kind of hurts, ego wise.

The government types? Seem a little stressed. A little disorganized. I got sent on my way, told I should do a thing on this thing. Anyone want to add a security badge to their collection? Also, I'm looking for takeout suggestions. East coast, best coast or something.

WHO IS WAVERLY? (Hi, new roomie I guess and I'm en route)

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?

UGH


this is not the 1940s and it is not okay to be creepy dude bros at the gas station staring down a girl and her cute ass squirrels while they try to fill up their jeep and get some snacks.

The squirrels are probably cleaner than those gunky beards.

This is the end of my PSA.

I've gone down a rabbit hole of youtube science. It's an entire series about space that's meant to help you sleep. Only problem is now I'm interested and not sleeping at all. Sleepy science, I see what you're doing there but it's having the opposite effect.

[book club-Damian, Albus, Barry]
Here's a starter schedule.
Once every two weeks (unless you have something to do of course) on the weekend. What works best for people weekend day wise?
Also here are some first selection options:
Japanese Manga Akira-a classic.
Mirai Nikki is a more psychological one but could turn out interesting discussion.
Fruits Basket a easy read. A story about humans that can transform into zodiac animals.

Novels:
Red Rising a dystopian sci-fi novel.
Thursday Murder Club-is as it sounds. A murder mystery.
And Then There Were None Agatha Christie novel.
Enigma of Room 622.


These are the suggested list of books. We could read the same ones this time. Then next time we could change it up and end up picking a theme of books. Keep it fresh. I'm thinking one of the manga genre and one of the novels to start.

I have been here long enough to see times like these, where a larger group arrives or returns all at once. It does not make anything easier, it will likely never get any more easy to deal with when we lose loved ones.

But now is a time for support. Ask for it, provide it, whatever you need or are able to do. Check on your neighbors, "our people" or otherwise. The smallest offering can make a world of difference in times like these. We are in this together.

[ ooc; I am turning off tracking on this post - please use it to corral character reactions about the drops so the network comm isn't getting spammed and posts being buried ♥ filter to your own people, text messages, whatever. Your characters don't have to talk to Una at all, it's just a place to corral this. ]

So many garage sales happening today! I love it. Does anyone want to see what treasure we can find? We can get lunch after.

I’m just realising that all I post about are sports, cars and other superficial things, but I don’t care because she’s here.

I’m also well aware that owning a sports car in San Francisco is a pretty silly idea. But again, I don’t care, and will be sleeping in the parking garage tonight.

[Hope and Scott]
I owe you both, big time.

[Steve]
Want to go for a drive?

I'm still disappointed by the lack of flying cars in this millennium.

There is a flying dog, I'll give you that.

I'll be honest, I'm not sure what to make of all this. Does anyone know if this is Howard's doing?

Alright folks, seems like we need a sitrep.

Did anyone else feel anything weird this morning? Do we know how many folks are arfected or what caused it?

Added: On-going list of those affected
( cut to save your flist )

[Matt]

Well, at least we have the day off to deal with this?

Added later: [ NYMPH - Natasha + Yelena + Matt + Phil]

Наталья? Елена? Зарегистрируйтесь, пожалуйста? Что бы вы хотели на ужин?

[Clint]

How's my favorite archer?

What in the cockamamie mess is this phony boloney horse pucky?

Soooo who is buying me my first legal drink?

I suppose one of the better things for this weekend is the lack of fireworks. People and animals have trouble and our new location is close enough to the bridge that the show is on the bay off Pier 39.

Fireworks are illegal (boo or yay) otherwise so hopefully this year is pretty easy.

18+ invitation, who wants to get tattoos this weekend?
