Second Chances: the Network

The hallways are rather pretty this morning, don't you think?

_{[OOC: Player's choice if interacting with the plants has any kind of interesting effect. 😈 Don't worry; it'll all be gone by the next morning.]}

Hey there! Yes, I am talking to all of you. I'm new here, so What is there to do here? Are the restaurants good? Do the movies suck... stuff like that.

I have too much time on my hands obviously...

[Guardian Filter: Julio & Jen]

Hey J&J, could I ask for a favor?

Will's birthday is Sunday and I was thinking we could bring everyone to this ceramics studio on Castro. You can paint basically whatever you want, including D&D minis, and they fire glaze it which looks awesome.

Steve usually drives us but we need some extra seats. Could we borrow a car you give us a ride? Probably just me and Will so it'll be kind of a surprise for him.

[Hawkins; excluding Will]

So I've got an idea for Will's birthday. Check out this place. He'd definitely be into a painting a dice box or something.

[Will]

It's still cool I'm planning something for you, right? Got any guesses?

I thought I would get used to the wings pretty quickly, but I feel like I keep bumping into everything no matter what I do. Then there's the feathers everywhere.

Sorry about that, Jen.

[Mike]

Also sorry for the number of times I've accidentally smacked you or ran into you with them. They're neat and all, but I'm already kind of tired of this take on Will the Wise.

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.

Okay, so I don't know who thought doing classes through a computer was a good idea - and yes I know the weather sucks - but science class cannot be done properly through a screen. It is something that must be experienced, hands on. Doing science through a screen doesn't work and it's hard to do experiments at home.

We had snow days back home, or... actually... we didn't have that many. I think it had something to do with the fact that the town was so small and the land was flat enough that plows were able to do their jobs quick. But seriously, how long until I can be back in science in person?

Inquiring minds want to know!

[El]
So, first step towards normal: You ever had a snowball fight?

I know we have bigger problems and this is a random statement but

It's weird when you hear two people arguing (Jason and Yelena. It's Jason and Yelena) and they switch languages mid-sentence. Multiple times. And it's weirder when you can follow the argument.

Which brings me to my point and I know it's been asked before but I'm asking again:

Other than English, what languages do you speak? I'm only claiming fluency in 12. Yes, I realize that's a brag. But I blame Bruce.

Mike and I have been talking about it off and on for awhile, so I figured I would see how much interest other people might have in joining a D&D campaign. If you don't know how to play, we can teach you. It's not as hard as it might seem. We can even do a one shot if anyone wants to try it out, but isn't super committed yet. It can get pretty time consuming, but is a lot of fun. We have some ideas already in the works and Mike is one of the best DMs around.

[Mike]

Think we'll get many people? It would be cool to put some of the things we've been talking about into play. Even if we get just a small group together.

Need a stocking stuffer for the beer drinker in your life? Might I interest you in some of my homebrew? Please, take some of this off my hands, I went a little overboard.

[Jennifer Walters, Bruce Wayne, and Natasha Romanoff (Hawkins Kids Guardians)]
Hey. I was thinking, should we get Mike, Will, Eleven, and Max together for a little Christmas party just for them? So they can celebrate together before they get dragged to whatever family things we'll all be at. Bruce, I know we're probably crossing over at Dick and Jason's place, but I'm sure the rest of you have plans already for the big day.

[Dick Grayson]
Hola, mi vida. What's the big plan for Christmas day?

Fuck sake you people are so loud
Okay maybe that's just me but still

Hey. So um. Hi. I'm William. You can call me Billy, I guess that's how some of you already know me. I showed up super hungry and they gave me a ton of money so I guess $20 of that is going to dumplings. And then I guess I get to figure the rest of my life out so that's weird.

I'm actually not even sure you're all real

[Maximoffs]
I guess I'm living with you guys. I barely even remem Are you really my How are you even alive

[Tommy]
I know you're here, I can feel you.

Also because the government people said you were but mostly the first thing.

I know this is weird. But it really is me.

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.

Morgan is already asking to see Santa. I can't wait for all the exciting events starting at the end of the month. What are you most looking forward to this holiday season? I personally can't wait for Thrive City’s Winter Wonderland.

Kind of a random question, but is anyone good at woodwork? Or good with trees in general?

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.

Enid is MIA. No phone, no tracking. What've we got?


[ ooc; anyone who knows him knows he wouldn't risk posting (AND unfiltered!) this if he weren't absolutely LIVID - he's gonna do a Violence, y'all ]

Has anyone actually talked to those keeping those roadblocks in place? Have they given any reason behind it? Or who's responsible? I'm having hunted-by-the-government related flashbacks and I don't exactly love it

We've got kids separated here, that can't be okay with anyone, right?

[ filtered; BatFam+ & Julio Richter & Mike Wheeler ]

Sorry not sorry for the late notice but the boyfriend and I are en route to Mexico for our anniversary.

Enid - you know where the cash stash is. Or bug Jason.
Mike - he says you know where the cash stash is and that you can also bug Jason.

Back in a few days. Don't kill each other while we're gone 😘

[ ooc; El and I meant to handle this weeks ago lmao and work/life ate us both PLEASE PRETEND MIKE WAS HANDLED GUARDIAN-WISE ]

Will, Mike, what do you say to some movies and tasty treats tonight? Julio, you too.

[Filter: Friends & Family]

How is everyone doing?

Dear anyone who had to deal with me as a child: I am NOT sorry.

I am ALSO not sorry that my little'uns are like 100% more well behaved than I was at their ages.

[ filtered; Julio Richter ]

Admittedly, I want my people back to normal but DAMN am I going to miss Jason like this.

DID YOU KNOW that it's like two months away since we officially started dating after people told me we were on a date but we actually weren't so we made it into one?

I guess I should

I'm still not sure I like it here but at least it isn't the Upside Down

Is there a good comic store around?

[Mike]

Thanks for... well, everything lately. I wouldn't be ok if you weren't here.

Is there anything fun to do? I'm ready to explore, I think.
