Second Chances: the Network

Trying to find a decent place to train in this city is impossible. The fancy ones are full of people who are there to be looked at, not to do actual work, and the membership fee is astronomical. The other end of the spectrum often smells like wet dog, and I swear that one of them had mold growing in the locker room.

Then there was the goldilocks location: right cost, clean, decent amenities, but full of toxic men with BDE that thought they'd get their jollies by intimidating the short girl.

I know we have a gym here, but I was looking for somewhere that I could work on what I already know and maybe learn some stuff that I don't. Even take some classes. Does that exist, or am I looking for a unicorn?

Happy Easter, everyone. Peter, I won't let the bunny near you.

If anyone needs a place to eat tonight, I am serving ham with all the trimmings at six. There is plenty.

I went to the job fair that popped up...I have interviews at the Exploratorium and the Academy of Science in various departments at the end of the week. I'd already called ahead with much encouragement from Henry and it was initially scheduled for end of April but has been moved up.


...asdfghasfg I haven't had interviews since undergrad.

I've never been the 'new kid' in school before. Back home, the town was small enough that everyone knew everyone else. You'd be with the same people from kindergarten to high school.

Don't get me wrong, it has its draw backs: Everyone knows everyone else's business, you'll run into your ex way too frequently, and your parents will always know everything you've been up to. But I think standing up in front of your homeroom and awkwardly introducing yourself might be worse.

Still, glad to be done with learning online. Easier to focus in person.

I'm not used to the airspace being so crowded.

Question for the masses: if daiquiri is spelled the way its spelled, then why can’t Zachary be spelled Zaiquiri?

So it seems Clint's not the only one with wings.

Probably not a bad idea to document who's getting wings. I haven't seen anything about it on the local outlets, so it seems this might be another "just us" sort of thing.

Getting plane shifted back to the 80s is a pretty good excuse for missing school today, right?

[Hawkins]
Saw the post on Steve. I guess I got back first I hope. Back in '87 I was just with him, or maybe some parallel version of him.

Dustin, you were right about the military jeeps. It got worse from there.

I’ll tell you guys the whole story in person. Or just what you want to know here, in case getting all the details could have weird time travel consequences.

I am severely stir crazy. Now that the weather is less awful I signed up to attend some science lectures just to get out. Used to do that a lot back home. The Exploratorium has a few solid events coming up.

[Ray]
Feel like attending one with me?

[Lydia]
Feel up to exploring a new museum?

If you want to be humbled, walk two streets over to that coffee place that roasts their own blend, pick up a large to-go cup and a two bags of said blend, and then slip on ice while crossing the street, dumping your recent order all over yourself.

The police officer that saw it happen did at least help me up, but not before he had a good laugh at my expense.

Imagine if you will...

It's the start of the first quarter, you're still finishing up Q4, so of course the day is back-to-back meetings. Smash-cut to the end of it all, you finally get a chance to check your phone for anything non-work related and—would you look at that?

Your High King is gone.

Is it too late to burrito on the couch and wallow? Semi-serious question. I'm almost thirty.

It's cold. and I'm glad suddenly I don't drive since even just walking down to the comic shop today I could barely see an inch ahead and fell on my ass twice.

Christmas was...not as bad as I thought it might turn out. Thanks to those who came to do cookies. I feel less alone here. That helps a lot.

This place is something.

Right.

Hey, how's it going? Name's Hadie. I just arrived, as I'm guessing people can tell. I wasn't expecting this little trip, but I'm guessing it will be am adventure. ...where's the nearest place to get something fresh to eat?

Hello? They told me I can use this phone thing to talk to folks. They told me it's not magic, but glory, it's as good as, isn't it?

My name's Daine. I don't really know what else to say, I guess, except that me and Kitten really need to get back home as soon as we can. If we can. They said there's no way to do that.

Oh. I guess I ought to warn you all, especially the ones I'm living with, but Kitten can pick locks. I've told her time and time again it's rude, but she's just a baby and she can only mind her manners so much. So I'm sorry if she ends up where she ought not to be, but if she does just call for me and I'll come get her.

I didn't really get a chance to get to know my new roommate since I was stuck out of the city for most of October, but I'd really like it if the people sharing my living space didn't keep disappearing on me. Kind of makes me feel cursed.

[DAVID HALLER]

Hi, you.

My radio station officially switched to holiday music 24/7 until Dec. 26 so I'm officially in the holiday spirit.

[FILTER: Will]

Do you have any holiday traditions you'd like us to do here?

[FILTER: Loki]

I'm stopping by my cousin's for Thanksgiving, but what are we doing with the kids? Joint holiday? I can...cater.

[LAMP+NYMPH]

So, I'm thinking we should have a family dinner soon. A chance for Daisy to get to know everyone. Natasha, you can bring your 'dino guy' too if you want.

[Daisy]

You're game for family dinner, right?

So... does school do a lot of holidays? Not that I'm complaining.

[TEAM REBELLION]

I got a kyber crystal. I mean I got it a few days ago, but I finally decided to share I got something from home. Still not sure how picking up that feather did it...

You know, this is not my first time that I've been thrown into some alternate universe situation. You think I'd be used to it, but it's still weird.

At this one isn't run by HYDRA.

Anyway, my name's Daisy Johnson, and I'm agent with SHIELD. Though I doubt that has much relevance these days. SHIELD isn't really what it used to be anymore.

[Filtered To Phil Coulson]

Hey. They said you were here.

Filtered To Lois Lane]

Heya. Apparently we're goin to be roommates. I figured I'd introduce myself before I headed over. That way it's slightly less of a surprise.
