Second Chances: the Network

Since Valentine's Day sucks. SO much. Eff this is on a Saturday this year, I'll be hosting a Galentine's brunch on Sunday the 15th. It'll be at Edge of Glory and since it's before open hours, all ages are welcome. Brunch service begins at 11 and will last until everyone has trickled out. Five flavors of mimosas and - hey, Mal, any chance I can talk you into brewing up some Valentine's themed mocktails? If so, those. Otherwise, whatever I can think of. We're putting out a fairly decent spread of waffles, eggs three different ways, various breakfast meats, appetizers and snack foods, and whatever else my chef can whip up.

All gals and nonbinary pals are welcome to join us! Sorry, fellas, you'll have to prep your own shindig.

Was I the only one who was not upset by the ice or snow? It was actually the only thing upon my arrival that felt even slightly familiar.


Now that it's cleared this place looks entirely different again.

I rented Terrene for the night of my birthday starting at 7. I'd love for you all to be there.

So it seems Clint's not the only one with wings.

Probably not a bad idea to document who's getting wings. I haven't seen anything about it on the local outlets, so it seems this might be another "just us" sort of thing.

While I can say that I am acclimating to the modern era, there are still many things I do not understand. I am learning, and the library has been quite helpful.

...though, I am afraid that my current lifestyle will depress my gifted funds. Without sufficient income, I fear I will run out of resources within a matter of months, and I am told that my stay here may exceed that amount of time.

It is probably time for me to secure employment. I am open to suggestions as to how I can do so.

Uhhhh... this morning has been interesting.

When I told the General I was leaving UNIT because I needed a change this wasn't what I had in mind. The Liaison Officer may have called this a portal, but it seems more like a rift in time and space; there's one like it in Cardiff back home. Every so often things (and occasionally people) would fall through. Interesting though... I suppose it makes sense that if this happens on our Earth that it would happen on alternate ones. Though alternate Earths are a little new. Still, I've dealt with worse; heard the Bay Area is normally nice this time of year - snow aside. Suppose that this is just another adventure.

Hullo. My name is Martha Jones. I'm a doctor originally from London and I specialize in general medicine and xenobiology.

Also, I think I shocked the Liaison Officer with how calmly I took all this new information. Hope Jack isn't too worried when I don't arrive in Cardiff for my visit.

Well, at least I have a fabulous new coat.

Did you want to invite your friends over? I'd love to meet Dustin properly.

How's my favorite cousin?

If you want to be humbled, walk two streets over to that coffee place that roasts their own blend, pick up a large to-go cup and a two bags of said blend, and then slip on ice while crossing the street, dumping your recent order all over yourself.

The police officer that saw it happen did at least help me up, but not before he had a good laugh at my expense.

....

I cannot claim to understand any of this but they insist I am not kidnapped, yet I am also not free to go home? What happens to home? My sister ...

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.

A stray cat followed me home and now it's made a home in my sweaters.

Help?

[ Filter: Ray ]

Did you survive the feline close encounter or should I bring over more Benadryl?

[ Filter: Jyn & Kate ]

Are either of you allergic to cats? Or hate cats? I think I asked Kate this already but asking again because we might have a cat situation in the apartment.

I-I've never gotten anything from home before. Does this happen often?

They're postcards... From Bluebell.

I mean, it's just cardstock, but it's nice to be reminded that there is a world out there.

[Stephen]

How are you doing?

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.

Alright, I’ve slept on it. You know moving is really exhausting, and I’d kind of just got done moving into a place. Or I thought I was, before getting zapped here yesterday. But this time the moving didn’t come with any of my stuff or my cat, so I’m pretty annoyed about that.

Hey, I’m Carol. Don’t suppose anyone here has a line on some reliable spacecraft I can borrow?

[ Filter: Jyn Erso and Kate Bishop ]

I’m not used to having roommates so sorry for crashing after barely saying hi last night. It’s been a long week.

Hi?

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.

Morgan wants to trick or treat. I don't want to hold her back, but I'm nervous.

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.

LAMP

You boys have any new recordings we can listen to?

So ....


Molly and I went to get ice cream as a date like we usually do and we were waiting at the bus stop to take the bus home again like we usually do and then some guy come up to us and he was like "I found two of them" and like we were the only two people at the bus stop so I think he was talking about us but I have no idea who he is but he seemed to know who me and Molly are and that was not cool but he wasn't very friendly and he was talking to other people, but I didn't see them and I didn't want to get into a fight or let Molly get into a fight so I grabbed her and I ran as fast as I could but they have these traps for fast runners and it was like a trip wire or something and it knocked me off balance and I feel real hard and my arm really hurts and there is probably more of them throughout the city and I couldn't really pick up Molly anymore so we couldn't run but they were still looking for us so we tried to go around the long way and get back to the building but we got outside of the city and now we can't get back into the city and we don't really have any money for a hotel or nothing and I also don't know if hotels will let teenagers buy rooms

[FILTER: Tony]

Where are you? I told Peter you'd meet him on the roof. He says he is fine, but I'd feel better if you were with him right now.

Should I take Morgan away from here?
