Second Chances: the Network

Okay, now that Peter has put everything out there... who knows anything about planning a wedding? 😂😂

[Friends]

I feel like we need a fun little engagement party.

[Dr. Banner]

So...


You're going to walk me down the aisle, right?

I always forget how into Christmas this country is, but it's kind of charming.

[Filtered to the entire network, sans Albus Potter]
So, hello. Most of you don't know me, but I'm Ginny, Albus' mum. His dad and I are going to throw him a birthday party this Sunday, starting at 6 pm at The Bit & Barrel (address here). It will be in the downstairs lounge, so just come in and go down the stairs on your right to find us.

His birthday is the 19th, but this was the only time I could guarantee the space, so Sunday it is.

Gifts are encouraged, but not required. I think Al just wants people to come and enjoy themselves. It's not a surprise party, he knows one is happening, but not the fine details, so please avoid telling him anything. We'll manage to get him there on time.

And if you are seeing this and don't know Al, myself, or Harry (that's his dad), that's okay. You are welcome, too. Use this as an opportunity to get to know your fellow residents.

Fuuuuuuck
There isn't enough alcohol in the world

Anyone got any tips and tricks for insomnia?

Margo
Busy this weekend?

Bat-Family
The Batmobile is here.

Who am I hosting for Thanksgiving this year?

For those still in the city...

Matt and I have been focusing on the noise/sonic disruptor shit on our patrols. It's stronger in some places than others. We've been trying to pinpoint it and there's a few target areas.

[insert map with areas highlighted]

Given how it's affecting folks, pretty sure it's some type of sonic disruptor device. [insert list of types of devices and suggested means of disabling/destructing them]


Here's where we need help:

The goal is to have several synchronized strike teams hit all possible locations tonight (28th-29th overnight) and take out the evil vuvuzelas.

So, any volunteers? (Those of you under 18 - get permission from your guardian before signing up .)


Full disclosure, this is not a zero-risk operation. We'll need all types of skills - getaway drivers, fighters, tech folks, comms, explosives... so if you're in, we can find you a job.


[OOC: anyone who wants their char to be involved can volunteer, feel free to make up teams, talk about specific sonic devices etc. I'm doing some handwaving here. There will be as many areas to hit as we have 'strike teams'. Coulson's thinking 2-3 people per team. No one goes solo.

Feel free to crosspost all you want on this :) ]

UPDATE Wednesday 29 October

Thanks to everyone who helped out last night. It looks like we were successful knocking out the noise disruptors that were causing so many problems for our folks. It looks like things have calmed down significantly.

You boys have any new recordings we can listen to?

Kitty and I were both attacked. Stiles got us out of the city.

Please stay safe.

Filter: Enid & Willa

Are you both okay?

Filter: Wally

Thank you, for what you did.

I got my girls out of the city, but my suit keeps hitting critical failure as I try to fly over the city. All other attempts to regain entry have been unsuccessful.

If they're organized. We need to get organized.

I can help manage people and supplies outside of the town, I just need to know who is out here and where you are. At the very least I can make sure the people out here are taken care of and try to get supplies through the inside maybe.

You can call it the Peter Tingle, you can call it Spidey Senses, you can call it just plain paranoia, but someone's been tailing me the whole way home.

They're not stupid, he's keeping his distance. Like...literally just out of reach of webbing distance. But I'm also not stupid and he's literally there any time I turn around.

This is getting old. I don't know what they've got going on but after what happened to the pack, it's not cute or funny.

So the question is - what do we do? Should I try confronting them? Or someone with slightly more tact, maybe? Tony can tell you, me interrogating people doesn't usually go well.

I do not wish to cause alarm, but it should be known that there was an attack last night on some of the wolves.

While I have no information on who they were or why they were there, I did gather an immense feeling of anger and panic from them as they retreated. One of them may also have some broken bones. Do with that information as you will.

UGH


this is not the 1940s and it is not okay to be creepy dude bros at the gas station staring down a girl and her cute ass squirrels while they try to fill up their jeep and get some snacks.

The squirrels are probably cleaner than those gunky beards.

This is the end of my PSA.

So this is nineteen?

Sweet!

Maybe one of these days I won't be as excited about another rotation around the sun (or mundane things like school), but when you've outlived your original expiration date by two years these things are still kind of a big deal.

(and Happy Birthday, Klaus [and Jinu]!)

I can't say this is what I was expecting today.

Apparently, I'm going to be here for awhile, so I might as well introduce myself. My name is Wanda Maximoff. I was told that this world is very similar to my own, and that there are people here who might know me.

[Filtered to Vision and Tommy Maximoff]

...I was told that you both are here.

It's not every day that your best friend is suddenly years older than you due to alternate universes making time a little weird even by Beacon Hills standards. The obvious benefit to this is that the age jokes get to start that much earlier. (Kidding. Maybe.)

Happy birthday, Stiles. I'm glad to be here for it.

[ Filter; Enid & Willa ]

Would you two be interested in coming to a party tonight? It's for Stiles's birthday. Just a small gathering since we have to fit this in our apartment but I'd love it if you were both there.

[ Filter; Simon ]

Have you spent very much time at Fisherman's Wharf yet?

I'm a generally cheerful person.

But I'm having a hard time coming out of this tailspin.


Who wants to build a blanket fort in one of the conference rooms of the lobby?

While things are kind of objectively terrible, re: recent mass exodus, life still goes on.

That being established: what are we doing for Stiles's 21st birthday?

I have a couple of ideas, but I'm also totally open to suggestions.

Well. I guess the Big Guy isn't going to destroy the city. You're welcome.

I don't really know what to do now. I'm glad I had her while I did, but it still doesn't feel like enough. Before being here I didn't even know she was possible and now? Now living without her doesn't really feel possible either.

I have been here long enough to see times like these, where a larger group arrives or returns all at once. It does not make anything easier, it will likely never get any more easy to deal with when we lose loved ones.

But now is a time for support. Ask for it, provide it, whatever you need or are able to do. Check on your neighbors, "our people" or otherwise. The smallest offering can make a world of difference in times like these. We are in this together.

[ ooc; I am turning off tracking on this post - please use it to corral character reactions about the drops so the network comm isn't getting spammed and posts being buried ♥ filter to your own people, text messages, whatever. Your characters don't have to talk to Una at all, it's just a place to corral this. ]

I hear the food trucks are giving away free slices of cheese pizza. Who would like to join me for lunch?

I don't know if kids know this, but teachers can get back to school jitters, too.

So many garage sales happening today! I love it. Does anyone want to see what treasure we can find? We can get lunch after.
