Second Chances: the Network

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?

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?

Now that Hardison's secured the network, I have a request.

IF you are safe to do so: Record-Record-Record.

Audio, video—anything you can. Start compiling everything you've seen, heard, or documented since the beginning and send it to me. I'm starting to put together a timeline, and all of it will help. We call this the "discovery phase".

The Liaison Office may have let us down, but that doesn't mean we can't go after the people behind this.

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.

Do we happen to have access to surveillance around the building? Seems like something that could be useful.

[Serenity Crew]

Had an unusual occurrence tonight - Was coming back from grocery shopping and noticed someone watching me before I came back to the building. They caught me watching them watching me, but just kept staring. Eventually they moved away. Didn't try anything or do anything, but it was... strange.

Any of you got a spare firearm around? Just to be prepared.

I haven't had a headache this bad since the goddamn birds.

I don't suppose anyone knows if there are professorial openings at the local college or university that might need a highly-specialized professor with a background that's probably not at all useful in this world? Or I can probably teach British history or British literature or something if I tried hard enough.

Hullo, everyone. I'm Harry Potter. You might already know my wife, Ginny, the fiery red-head with a lot of opinions who works at the Bit and Barrel. Or my son, Albus, the smart, driven one who I'm told has been here for years even though I just saw him yesterday at school.

Albus
Your mum tells me you've been here for a few years already? How's that going for you? You all right and such?

What if Edgar Allen Poe had written his poem about a crow instead of a raven? Would it have made a difference? I mean, it makes a difference to me. Ravens think they're so much better than crows. I guess they are kind of superior in size and prowess. I've never really thought about it before. Actually, I don't think I've ever met a raven, but I always knew to stay out of their way. They can be pretty bad tempered, I've heard.

But I wonder if maybe crows wouldn't have such a bad rap if Poe's poem was about a crow and not a raven. Or maybe humans don't really care about any of that.

Anyway, I had to read his poem for class and I kinda liked it.

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.

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’m in the mood for something spooky. What places around here are said to be haunted and who wants to come with me?

IT'S TIME.

Who wants to come out tonight?! Food, hanging out, and one Peter Parker's first legal drink at midnight!!!

I was thinking dinner (and dessert!) in Little Italy then City Nights after? And City Nights is 18+ so obviously I get to drag my amazing and perfect girlfriend, too. #priorities

[Family]
And then dinner tomorrow?! And CAKE.

I believe I heard rumors of a dinosaur cake?

Who else has a truly astounding amount of root beer and vanilla ice cream leftover from the PTB from the surprise pantry filling yesterday?

I can do a backflip!!

I have been working on it all week and THE DICK GRAYSON says that we are like brothers and he and his brothers have been helping me do all sorts of cool tricks

and some people here can fly which is really cool cause Conner took me flying.


ALSO I HAVE BEEN HAVING SLEEPOVERS WITH THEM AND THEY ARE THE COOLEST PEOPLE AND ITS FUN AND STUFF.

I miss my parents though.

Having to start over in everything is not the best feeling ever. But I am rediscovering some old comics I forgot I loved in the process. RIP to my graded collectors edition comics though. Haven't found anything like them yet.

[Dr. Strange]
I've gone a couple weeks now with very minimal headaches. I think it's finally safe to say that tea is working pretty well.

[Barry]
Want to check out another new comic spot I found later?
