Second Chances: the Network

If I'm technically in my 50s do I really need a legal guardian? Not that you aren't super cool, Mr. Richter. But what if I'm your guardian?

Oh and hey I'm Mike. I'm into D&D, video games, comics... not so much traveling across dimensions. I guess you guys have an open-gate policy here.

You know what would have been cooler than being a fairy?

BEING A FAIRY WITH FUC STUPID MAGIC.

This is ridiculous.

At least my makeup looks super cool.

To think I delayed my honeymoon by a week to go to an arraignment scheduled today, but instead I'm playing the foil in a sword fighting comedy. (You all are lovely, and the act is very funny—but this is just the principle of the thing.)

At this rate, I'm never making partner.

I suppose it was only a matter of time.

So, it seems we're a part of a renaissance festival of some sort. Or at least that appears to be where I've woken up and I walked the grounds early this morning to get a lay of the land, so to speak. There was a notice on a board near the front gate, I think, stating this is the "Kingdom of Beale," so I can only assume we're still in San Francisco.

Is everyone alright? Nothing else out of the ordinary?

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.

Look. I love space as much as the next guy but I am SO glad to be back.

Now.

What are we doing about the dinner on a religious day that we definitely don't celebrate but want to eat our weight in whatever anyway?

Having sought performance lessons for my young charge in recent weeks, it's struck me that I might like to try my hand at treading the boards in a local capacity.

While it shan't have any bearing on what's being produced in the community, what roles would you enjoy seeing me in? Something dramatic? Tragic? Comedic? I've always been a bit of a fan of what the Midgardians call "The Bard".

I don't regret getting an IT job. It's the only skills I've got outside of the whole superhero thing. But damn, I've asked people if they've made sure their computer is plugged in so many times today, and so many times the answer was no. No plugged in, no work, ¿comprende?

Gimme your horror stories, I need to hear other people are having as shitty a day as I am. You know you want to bitch about something.

¿Y por qué no puedo encontrar buenos tamales aquí? Es una mierda.

Just a reminder not to get in over your head on the slopes. Just because you want to show off for that pretty snow bunny, doesn't make it a good idea to go above your comfort level.

Hey, mija. I might be home a little late tonight, we have a last minute staff meeting. What do you want me to pick up for dinner on my way back?

So, this is the quaint little town my sister has decided to settle down in. It's cute enough for a wedding, though it's no Paris. What is there to do for fun around here?

I never thought I'd be a hipster douchebag, but here we are. Me making my own beer in the comfort of my apartment. Anyone legal want to help out as a taste tester? I've been experimenting with different recipes and techniques, and I'll be honest, I've tasted so much beer at this point that I can't tell the difference anymore.

[ filtered; against Billy & Tommy ]

EXCUSE ME but what are we doing for Billy and Tommy's birthdays?? 🎂 I have to plaaaaaan

[ BELATEDLY filtered; Clint & Klaus ]

um i kind of forgot to ask permission first but i invited mr david to do horseback riding things that i found and theyre like therapy animals too and i found it online and he really liked the unicorns 🦄 and stuff from my dreams so i thought like MAYBE it would be fun but then he was like what do your parents say so now im asking if its ok 😬

I think I just might have a black thumb. That's the opposite of a green thumb, isn't it? Despite my best efforts to follow instructions, this plant of mine seems to be on a decline already. Someone help? I do love this little guy, but he doesn't seem to love me very much.

[Rapunzel]

Think you can nurse this guy back to health before they call the plant police on me for being a terrible plant caretaker?

» You awake?
» If you're not awake, I'm going to feel really bad
» Because it's like 2am
» You're probably asleep
» I'm bored. It's quiet. "TOO quiet~"
» Please be awake. I have a question

Can I ask you a personal question?

And I should mention I don't actually mean to eavesdrop or whatever it is when you sometimes hear what people are thinking but you don't actually hear them saying it out loud.

[ETA: Filter to Dick Grayson]

You'd better be nice to him. And treat him well and stuff.

I suppose finding myself in yet another new universe is one way to start a day, though everyone at the processing center seemed surprised that I wasn't exactly jarred by the whole ordeal. I take it that's not common place here? Would've been nice to finish whatever it was the Watcher

Right, anyways. Hello. I'm Peggy, though I think most in my own universe would recognize me as Captain Carter.

Apparently it's National Candle Day. There's a table set up down in the lobby with those jar candle things.

I got Sugar Cookie.

I refuse to apologize for the person I am about to become.

Alright, what's your votes, what's the worst one of these you guys have heard about yet? Or the best?

[FILTER: DICK GRAYSON]
How does a coffee date and then back to my place for a while sound tonight? I know you have to get out there and fight crime, but can I steal you for a little while first?

Am I the only one that is hearing music anywhere I go? It seems like it's the same tune, a very beautiful one. I'm just wondering why I hear it constantly. I'm afraid it might lull me to sleep wherever I go.

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.
