Second Chances: the Network

Lets play a game.

I'm in a character development class, and you're supposed to visually tell the good guys from the bad.

So tell me--- Hero or Villian, and why?

I met up with a girl for a coffee date. I just got whatever she got--

which is a shaken oatmilk espresso--


And I have never had a drink that literally tasted like cigarette smoke. It was disgusting.


That is all.

I need a break from work. I don't suppose anyone wants to visit the Portland Art Museum tomorrow morning?


[Plot: A best-selling romance novelist, WAVERLY EARP moves to Portland to cure their writer's block and unknowingly falls in love with their biggest critic, VISION. When their true identities are revealed, they have to find the courage and take a leap of faith.]

[OOC: this is an open post to anyone who wants to reply]

Apparently I can make apples appear from out of nowhere and I might have done it too much... Anyone want some apples?

We've got a lot of resident artists in our community, and I was wondering if anybody was looking to sell any of their pieces. I was something of an art broker/dealer in my corner of the multiverse, and I'd love to see if it's something I can do here as well.

Hit me up if you're interested.

To everyone else: have you moved in yet? The place is pretty nice. A few too many windows for my well-being, but still a bit of an upgrade.

[FILTER: Rapunzel, James, Steve]

I invited your friend from home to dinner, Rapunzel. What night is good for all of us? What should I cook?

This is probably the strangest thing to happen to me since the sword fight with Maximus. Which sounds perfectly normal until you find out that Maximus is a horse.

Is that... I wanna say a cat? On fire?

Right... there's some freaky thing going on with the animals here. I definitely listened to all of that.

Anywaaaay... I should probably introduce myself. I'm Eugene Flynn Rider. There's not a girl here named Rapunzel, by chance, is there?

Some of my students are complaining about the substitute history teacher. Something about their voice being so monotone that they fall asleep no matter how many Monsters they slam.

If anyone is interested in a day job as a high school history teacher, I'm sure Angie can doctor some degrees and pull the same strings she pulled to get me my position. Bonus points if you can tell a factual story without putting teenagers to sleep.

Cher is gone.


I fucking hate this place.

Emily's magic was seemingly backfiring. I wonder if that is how she got sent back. I am so sorry, Dr. Strange.

Anyone want to drown their sorrows with tea and pumpkin donuts with me?

So, by my count (which, honestly, as an art major isn't my strongest suit) there are three Captain America shields here now?

Do we need to start labeling whose is whose?

Not gonna lie. Yesterday was more frustrating than the birds or the turkeys for me. Not sure what these networks were up to, but glad we're back to normal.

As normal as this gets around here.

Glad that is over. I don't know much emoji speak past smiley faces and hearts.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to try to contribute to an online study group when you can only type in emojis? Do you?

Anyway, thank god that's over. Who's looking forward to school starting back up soon????

Do we need to leave milk and cookies our for Captain America tonight?

So, it's that time of year again, Kids.

Who wants me to help celebrate my best friend's big day?

Bonus if you can convince his husband to pop out of a cake.

If anyone even thinks about having a bird for a pet, we are no longer friends.

So, I know we've been training and a lot of us have tried organizing before, but Steve's Stark and I have an idea.

Most of you are familiar with the Avengers, some of you might not be. Either way, with everything that happens around here, we figured it wouldn't be the worst idea to team up again and meet regularly to be more prepared for the kind of crap we've been seeing over the years.

Meetings are in Tony's lab on Saturdays. Everyone is welcome (though if you're under 18, we will have a few ground rules).

No pressure for anyone who wants to stay out of this, either. I know some of you have long since retired from the 'superhero' gig, and that's completely okay. You deserve a break. This is just about keeping everyone safe and being prepared the next time birds, lizards, or aliens attack. Or maybe giant jello creatures- I have no idea what's coming.

Please

Birds were attacking. Still out there. Angry??

Art studio. Someone help?

My head hurts.


[ ooc; I am passing out LOL but I wanted to get this up after her narrative - feel free to threadhop ]

Happy Memorial Day for those looking back. This is always one of those tough ones for me.

I knew a lot of good men who died in the war. Too many. I try to remember them on days like these.

[Steve]

Up for visiting a graveyard or two today? Not trying to be bleak, but it's been a couple of years since I've really had the chance and I'm feeling sentimental.
