Second Chances: the Network

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

[Matt]

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

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?

I think I'm too old for standing room only, but I want to try.

[FILTER: Steve Rogers]

Hey, birthday boy. I know we'll do something with the family, but how about I take you away for a weekend sometime soon? Anywhere you want to go.

At least our clothes shrink with us, and I wasn’t in the shower or anything.

[Buffy]
I wasn’t wearing your favorite sweater so I didn’t shrink it.

[Hope and Scott]
Now I know how you guys feel when you’re suited up.

2027? That's... 41 years.

I was told I should introduce myself on here? I'm Will. This is a lot different from 1986.

Sorry, this is a lot and I'm not sure what else to say right now. I just need to go home Is there really no way to go back home?

[Jennifer Walters]

Hi, Miss Walters - I'm sorry if miss isn't right, but I didn't want to assume anything. They said I'll be staying with you while I'm here. I'll try my best not to bother you much.

Edited after a few minutes

Are there still arcades and D&D in the future?

Added a bit later

Why does everything taste like strawberries?

Alright, gentlemen, what are we thinking bachelor party wise? Together or separate? Wild or laid back? I'm following your lead here but I'm making sure we celebrate the grooms and I'm taking all these nice people down with me.

Just picked up a free Buck Rogers comic from the Bookmobile.

He has a whole load of different ones, but this reminded me of home.

I am glad we are no longer on that ship, but I’m very confusified about these little colorful eggs I’m coming across. Can anyone make sense of why they’ve appeared? Is this part of that Easter I heard about recently?
