Second Chances: the Network

[Private to Edwin Paine]
I had this whole thing typed up and ready to post.

It was not as angry as it could've been, but it was not polite, and it was absolutely me stirring the pot. It would've made it worse, which I never want to do for you.

I wouldn't be here if not for your particular brand of honesty and candor. Not everyone appreciates it, but I do. Immensely.

People seem stressed. We should probably do something about that. Important scientific questions first: How much pizza have we, as a group, ordered in the last week, and on a scale from 1-10, with 1 being not at all, how sick of it are we?

I found Tony. We can call off the search.

Coulson, I appreciate your contacts chiming in.

though hard to tell in text, everything is pointedly and purposefully in English

To Phil Coulson:

» Are you going to send us back?

[Video, the image is shaky and the device is clearly being held down toward the ground, but you can see legs speed walking down a hallway in what look like tan pants.]

(in Asgardian) "Where am I, where am I...? Need to find a way out..."

[The voice clearly belongs a child and a female, almost a whisper. Suddenly the camera moves, the girl hiding behind something. The image lifts to her face, though she's not looking at the lens. A young girl appears, long black hair, and bright eyes. In the frame you can see more of her clothes. The tan pants are actually a jump suit and in bright orange lettering "TVA" is written on the left side of the chest.

Suddenly, she looks at the camera, sticks out her tongue mockingly and the video goes black.]

Alright folks, seems like we need a sitrep.

Did anyone else feel anything weird this morning? Do we know how many folks are arfected or what caused it?

Added: On-going list of those affected

Well, at least we have the day off to deal with this?

Наталья? Елена? Зарегистрируйтесь, пожалуйста? Что бы вы хотели на ужин?

How's my favorite archer?

I know things are a little odd right now, but happy birthday. I have a present for you.

What in the cockamamie mess is this phony boloney horse pucky?

I believe the word is "mindfuck".

My wife and kids better still be here because I don't think I've got that little thing called control anymore.

Sorry, Molly, I'll hit up the swear jar later if you're still here, please everyone just be here???.

I almost just started heading to the old apartments, too, so that's how screwy everything is right now.

Seriously, what the fuck.

Um. Happy 4th of July, I guess.

I suppose one of the better things for this weekend is the lack of fireworks. People and animals have trouble and our new location is close enough to the bridge that the show is on the bay off Pier 39.

Fireworks are illegal (boo or yay) otherwise so hopefully this year is pretty easy.

18+ invitation, who wants to get tattoos this weekend?

All I can think is the time Tom Delonge hit on me and I was like "omg you're practically old enough to be my dad" but he paid for dinner so I guess that part was okay and I doubt he remembers that anyway.

ANYWAY they still put on a good show for old guys. Keep this up, SanFran, I'll go to aaaaaall the concerts.

I think I'm too old for standing room only, but I want to try.

[FILTER: Steve Rogers]

Hey, birthday boy. I know we'll do something with the family, but how about I take you away for a weekend sometime soon? Anywhere you want to go.

[ filtered; HER PEOPLE (iykyk) ]

Two years somewhere else, only a couple days here. Not a fan.

I don't want to talk about it. And I want spicy Thai. Who's in?

[ filtered; Natasha / Matt / Phil ]

I am exiting contract work. Phil, I'll take your assignments and trust your vetting. I just don't want it anymore. And I still don't want to talk about it.

[LAMP]

Yelena's missing. Her stuff's still here and there hasn't been an announcement, but we're looking for her. Might be a good idea if you two gather the band & co at Julie's / Nat's to keep them company.

[Folks who work with / consult with Phil]

Yelena's gone missing. Angie hasn't made an announcement so either it's one of those day or two blips or something else. I could use a hand monitoring the feeds from the cops and the agency on local activity and checking surveillance if anyone's got free time tonight.

[Private to Phil, Matt, Clint, Steve]
She didn't leave a note. She always leaves a note when she takes off.

Angie hasn't made another announcement, but even in her foulest moods, she leaves a note.

I'm trying not to panic, but I don't think I'm strong enough to handle losing her, too.
[end]

[Private to James and Julie]
I haven't heard from Yelena, not unusual when she goes off grid, but she didn't leave a note that I can find. If she forgot to leave a note, then the three of us will not let her hear the end of it.

If this is worst case scenario, I'm not letting them move you, Julie. You're family.
[end]

I need a new hobby, and I'm open to suggestions.

I sort of miss the everything is strawberry day.

There are some things that should never taste like strawberries. Lasagna, for example. But in general, it wasn't too bad. I happen to like strawberry as a flavor, though.

Definitely preferring that sort of magical nonsense to, say, shrinking people down to mini size? Literally what is the point of that. I don't need to be worried about animals in the apartment making chew toys out of my roommates.

Hi. Since school's out now I was thinking of taking Prada to the beach tomorrow and remembered you saying you haven't been to one in a long time. Want to go?

Can I borrow your jeep?

My action figures tied me up and put me in a box last night. Asked me how I liked being kept in zip ties on the shelf.

Anyone want some action figures? Free to a good home.

[Private to Parker]
Hey. Just want to gently remind you that I'm here, when you're ready.
[end]

[Private to Elliot]
I want to surprise the girls with a family trip. I'm thinking we rent a camper and take them to the beach, maybe one with caves and cliffs for Parker.

I'll even do the real fishing with you.
[end]

We're alive. Corsica is wonderful. The food and the beaches and the company are amazing.

You two hanging in there? Everything okay?

How are things going?

To think I delayed my honeymoon by a week to go to an arraignment scheduled today, but instead I'm playing the foil in a sword fighting comedy. (You all are lovely, and the act is very funny—but this is just the principle of the thing.)

At this rate, I'm never making partner.

Probably should have sent this out earlier, buuuut ~time, ~events, ~life, y'know.

Are you between the ages of 14 - 25 and in need of a little bit of extra cash for the summer?

We've got a bunch of part-time openings at the community centers, including:

• Day Camp Counselors*
  
• Lifeguards**
  
• Community Garden Maintainers
  
• Recreation Coordinators

* First Aid certification not required, but encouraged
** CPR certification required (First Aid encouraged)

If any of y'all are interested, hit me up or contact one of the centers and tell 'em I sent ya.

The centers' websites have a lot more detail, but I'll try to answer what I can.

(Also, this ain't just for the kiddos, so if you're one of the older set and find something [possibly more full-time/permanent?] in the listing you might want to do, I'm sure something can be arranged!)

Alright, gentlemen, what are we thinking bachelor party wise? Together or separate? Wild or laid back? I'm following your lead here but I'm making sure we celebrate the grooms and I'm taking all these nice people down with me.
