Second Chances: the Network

It is a month and one day to my 21st birthday! Someone is planning a big bash for me, y/y?

Hey,

So newbie here. Looking for some lab space with some lets just say unique projects that require space/materials I don't really have access to in this new world. If any of you have space I'd appreciate it. 5k is fine but does not really build up a lab. My new computer set up saw to most of that.

A braid.

Sure, whatever, not my favorite look, but fine.

A hundred braids?

No. No thank you.

The fairies got to my hair, and now I get to decide whether I want to be patient enough to undo them all or if I'm about to get a dramatic makeover.

I think the AP English Lit test went well last week, but I think I was just completely destroyed by the AP calculus today.

I have regrets.

I won't know my scores until July.

It's fine. This is fine.

I'm fine.

My brain is soup.

[Scott & Hope]
What if I'm not removed from the waitlist for UCSF once they get my AP scores? Will we have to forge something, or...what do people do if they're waitlisted forever?

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?

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.

Stardate 202504.13 - Earth relative

You may have noticed that we’re currently in orbit above Ni’Var, the Vulcan home-world. We plan to stay for three days and will be sending a delegation from Command, Sciences, Engineering and Specialists from San Francisco to discuss and investigate our current situation. While here you’ll all have the opportunity to take some shore leave and explore what the planet has to offer.

For those of you who are first time visitors, some things to remember. The atmosphere is thinner than that of earth and the temperatures much higher. No blue skies here, they’re usually a shade of red and you can always see T’Khut, the planet’s binary partner up there.

The computer has a guide to the planet which will go into as much detail as you request.

Please be back aboard before we depart on 16th | 202504.16.

Ensigns (all the teens in work placements)

You’ve all been doing well so far, considering we threw you in at the deep end, so to speak. If any of you have questions or concerns regarding your assignments don’t be afraid to raise them.

While on Ni’Var, take the opportunity to meet with your science academy counterparts if it’s offered. Their facilities are top notch and well worth a visit.

Pink bandages weren't on my interstellar bingo card, but at least the medical care on this ship is top notch.

Yes, I'm okay. Just a little bumped and bruised. Funny, what a little missed rung and (artificial) gravity will do.

Check in, please. How is everyone doing? Is there anything I can do for any you?

I've never personally been to space, but I nearly lost Tony to it once so I'm not thrilled with the current reminders. Not to mention I'm a little afraid we're tempting another Thanos situation. That said, I'll help any way I can, although keeping a curious seven year old entertained is going to prove a full-time job.

Reminder about tomorrow (i.e. - the current itinerary):

Bikes in the morning

Stop for breakfast

Beach time

Lunch at somewhere local

Afternoon/evening at the pier

Un-fussy dinner and cupcakes

Drinks and Dancing at Dahlia Lounge (21+ [sorry])


_{[OOC: please pretend Steve sent something out way before this; he wouldn't have been concerned about spamming the comms like I am 😅]}

That was interesting.

[Hope]

Uhhh, I kissed your husband. But we didn’t do anything more than that.
He’s probably freaking out about it, so I take full responsibility and will not be trying to steal him away for the record.

[Scott]

I told Hope I kissed you, so fingers crossed she’ll only murder me and you’ll be spared.
Also I want to say sorry about the romantic movie version of me leaving you like he did.

[Steve]

You and Tony going to be okay after all this crap?

Hey, how're things?

I didn't expect to see you while I was back in town, but glad I did.

So, we're really going up against each other in this BBQ competition?

Okay, yes, it was obnoxious at the time, but is it wrong that I miss the bubblewrap?

Coping mechanism... what coping mechanism?

Maybe it's because it's a Monday and I'd rather still be in bed, or maybe I'm coming down with something, but I woke up just not feeling right today. Like... everything is just a little bit Too Much, if that makes sense? I don't know. Anyways, if I see you today and I'm kind of a bitch, that's why.

Okay but hear me out: artisanal soap.

Chat, drop your favorite scents and flavors in the comments.

I actually won something from a radio contest! I have two tickets to the Nutcracker for Saturday night! Who wants to come with?

Morgan is enjoying the family being dressed as princesses. Molly, we will definitely be attending your tea party. Luckily for me, I can work from home.

Has anyone looked into any of the festivities around here for the holidays? The holiday market sounds fun.

[FILTER: Loki]

Did you want to go to my cousin's for Thanksgiving?

The problem with a magically induced incredibly good mood is that eventually, said magic will end. And you're actually left feeling worse.

And no, I didn't do this to myself. I'm not sure I even have a spell for that. I can't promise I wouldn't have tried it

[Rogers]
Are you still feeling up to "helping with a distraction project" or however it was phrased?

It's my bright, clever, funny, sweet little girl's birthday.

She's a big ten year old and not my little baby anymore and that's tough, but I'm proud to be the dad of a kiddo in the double digits.

Happy birthday, Lyra Alexandria Banner. Your mom and your big siblings and I all love you so much.
