Second Chances: the Network

[Private to SO18 actual bandmates only]
So I know that Julie and Luke usually do the song writing. But I was thinking about how we first met Julie. Then Phil and Matt's wedding. Then about Alex and Stiles.

And then Adaine.

( And maybe this is something? )
[end]

We have a lot of theater people, right?

Would anyone be interested in maybe staging a brand new musical that made me pass my independent study last year with flying colors but might need more work and workshopping before it's ready ready?

[Private to Adaine]
I don't want to distract you from finals and stuff, but if you need a break from studying, I can have a picnic ready in ten minutes. You just send out the SOS.

It's literally raining flowers outside for some reason (yes, I know, this place does weird stuff, etc) and now everything's covered in a copious amount of pollen. So that's great.

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?

[ filtered; Loki ]

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.

[LOKI]

I know things have been a bit chaotic the last few days, but I wanted to check in and make sure you're doing alright? With [...] all of this. Being in outerspace and whatnot.

IT'S THE BEST DAY OF THE YEAR!

All ages welcome at Edge of Glory! Drink and food specials all night long and there's a full nacho bar because they're my effing favorite and I want them! ALSO WE'RE GONNA HAVE CAKE.

So I require everyone's presence but no one is required presents 😉

Sylvie, Loki, you don't get a choice, because I am required to feed you cake.

In honor of this most auspicious day, I insist each one of you acquire one of the high quality books being handed out today!

Brilliant. This again?

Hello!

Does anyone know where I can acquire a tiny baby?

The masks yesterday made me want king cake and so I was going to make king cake pan flaps but the Internet says I need the tiny baby first.

Also, who wants panflaps for dinner?

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".

Oh, absolutely the fuck not. It's one thing for this place force people to do things against their will, it's another thing entirely to not have any idea who I am whilst doing it.

This is a very silly question, but has anyone seen a sleigh around? It’s for the Christmas parade and I had it parked by the coffee shop, but now it’s… not there? And I know sleighs can’t just up and move on their own. Do I need to call the police?

Sooooooooooooo

You guys really don’t sing much here do you? Or dance.

They told me I should try out for the Cheer squad at school, which I could do, and get in. But I was on an athletic scholarship to college for Football back home, so I kinda need to play here so Berkeley or whoever can see what I can do.

Are you effing kidding me? Can't a lady get a break to enjoy her staycation honeymoon with her hot new wife? This is some bullcrap.

Wow. Sorry. I guess I'm a little grumpy. But no, you know what, I'm leaving it. My emotions are valid.

Anyway, hi, I'm Waverly and I'm new, which you probably guessed already by all of that up there. Oh! Let's do two truths and a lie, okay? Take your best guess:

• I have a master's degree in ancient languages.
  
• I've kissed a frog.
  
• I've been to London.
  

Hi San Francisco! I'm Zed - zombie, fullback and high school student.

I guess I'll be here for however long the universe decides to keep me. Mr Laufeyson? I've been assigned to you as your ward.

My magic is coming back. Things feel almost normal again, so I'm going to assume whatever all of that was is likely over now?

[LOKI]

Are you doing alright?

A blessed Yule and midwinter to those who may or may not celebrate.

[LOKI & THOR]

I know Edwin's invited folks over to his for a little open house, as he called it, this evening and I'm not sure if either of you plan on going, but I was wondering if you'd both like to come over for dinner beforehand?

[Sylvie and Loki]

I am very sorry about your friend.

What can I do to help?

Somehow my coffee order was wrong today and I think I got someone's peppermint mocha monstrosity instead of what I wanted. This is disgusting. How do people drink this every year?

[LOKI]

Okay, I've been trying to fight the urge to do this all morning, but after seeing David and Thor say something, I just [...] can't help myself. At least I have the sense to filter it

This is really weird and overwhelming and I know you don't feel the same because you have Jen and I shouldn't even be saying this, I know. But I- was hoping maybe we could go get dinner and see a movie or something? Maybe go to a concert? Because I like spending time with you and I was really shit at showing that when I had the chance, you know? And then everything at the TVA happened the way it happened and that chance went out the fucking window really fast and now we're both here instead.

So. Yeah. I don't know what that means, but [...] sorry, I just- had to say that.

I'm such an idiot

Dearest Alexis, thou art a vision most divine, brighter than the sun’s own golden rays, and more radiant than the very stars that dot the heavens.

I humbly beseech thee—permit me to stand by thy side, to share in the joy of thy laughter and the warmth of thy gaze.

Wilt thou, gentle lady, grace me with thy company, and let our fates entwine in the dance of time?

[added after Loki's comment]

Like for maybe dinner and dancing at a place you don't own!!!

Not like a marriage.
