Second Chances: the Network

I know, I know, don't get out in all this unless you have to, but I had to go to a doctor's appointment and I'm not gonna lie, it is pretty terrible.

On the other hand, it's nice to have someone to come home to now. No offense, Flynn, but it's just not the same coming home to a roommate as it is coming home to a girlfriend.

Now excuse me, I have to put on fifty layers before I leave the doctor's office...

[SYD]
Do we need anything from the store while I'm already out?

I know this is last minute, but if anyone else who celebrates Hanukkah (or doesn't) wants to come over this evening for a meal, I've got a chicken in the oven. I also made too many latkes and bought some challah to share. I'm in apartment 2007, just knock if you'd like to join me.

I'm sorry to whoever's window I plummeted past five minutes ago. It's fine, no splat. But I get it might have been concerning. Your tree looks nice!

[ Elliot, Hardison ]

Elliot. You have a friend called Ezra who's from a future science-fiction place. A guy called Ezra is talking to the new girl who's from a future science-fiction place and he mentioned school. Do you have a kid.

I mean, I'm not surprised, you're good with kids. But you didn't say he was a kid when I said he had a cool name!

I didn't really get a chance to get to know my new roommate since I was stuck out of the city for most of October, but I'd really like it if the people sharing my living space didn't keep disappearing on me. Kind of makes me feel cursed.

[DAVID HALLER]

Hi, you.

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.

I know it might be too soon, but since everything seems to be over and law enforcement has rounded up a bunch of those hunters, who's got Halloween plans? Alexis, is the party still on?

Kind of feels like we need something good in our lives right now, so what's everyone's costume?

I'm not sure how these bugs got in this apartment, but I've got the best bug zapper on the market. I'll make short work of this. Probably get rid of 'em in a couple of days.

Unrelated, but, y'all. The internet is forever. You gotta be careful what you put out there for everyone to see. You never know who's on the other end of the screen.

[Friends + Associates 18+]

Ran into a stranger in a bar last night who was awful chatty. I couldn't put a pin in it but there was something strange about the whole thing. Mostly because who thinks I look like the kind of guy who wants to have a heart to heart over my beer?

I was talking to Hardison about it and he IDed him just because we were curious. Nothing fishy about the guy, not on any list anywhere, but he's pretty far from home to be having a drink by himself.

Maybe I'm being paranoid, but maybe keep an eye out anyway.

David and I are on a road trip and we had absolutely zero service yesterday. Is everyone okay?? Do we need to come back?

The apartment is too quiet.

I know y'all just heard from me, and normally, you know, I sorta just lurk, watch, read your very public conversations (some of y'all are nasty (good for you)).

But today is a very special day, and this painting might not live very long, so I need to share with you Old Nate's wall buddy.

I call it Beauty, Grace, Punch You in the Face.

Happy birthday, big guy! Everyone tell Eliot happy birthday when you see him! Sing, too, if you feel like it. He loves that.

Well, I certainly did not expect to find myself in San Francisco. Although judging from the fact that there are no dinosaurs roaming around the city, this does not seem to be my San Francisco. Not that San Francisco is mine, I wouldn't presume to suggest that. Er, more this is not the San Francisco from my world.

Er, sorry, this is all just a lot to take in, is all. I was just on Île Saint-Hubert, not that I want to go back there, so this is all just a bit of a shock. Although if we were able to recreate a perverse version of dinosaurs, I should not be surprised at the possibility of universe like ours existing.


Oh, I'm doing this all backwards. I'm Henry Loomis, Dr. Henry Loomis, although I don't know if there's a need for paleontologists here, so maybe the Dr. is irrelevant. I think I need a big cup or coffee or tea. Or maybe something stronger.

With everything that's been happening this month, I'm finding myself with a suddenly large amount of free time because work is just... not really happening. 😂 So I'm going to go play tourist and check out Fisherman's Wharf, I think, if anyone wants to tag along.

[DAVID HALLER]

Also, weird question. Thoughts on taking a glass blowing class or something?

Could someone direct me to the best place to get some tea, please? I think I may need it.

Especially considering I was just in England and now...I'm not.

There are so many plants in this apartment. I had my worst grades in botany.

Whoever usually looks after these, I'm sorry if I cause them harm with my ineptitude.

I'm bored.

I'm going to the beach.

Is it possible to have too much caffeine to the point of anxiety? Because I'm wondering if I did that this morning since I didn't sleep very well last night. 😣

Does anyone else have this weird feeling today? I'm never this jumpy. I don't know, maybe I'm just imagining it. It's fine. It'll probably go away soon.

What is everyone doing on the fine summer day? Give me something else to think about.

[Family (Aside from Rapunzel)]

Is that okay to use now? Should I change it? It's probably fine. But what if it's not?

I think we're just about set for the birthday bash? Dinner is planned, decorations have been bought, we have the lantern things. She'll like it all, right? I think all that's left is to set up the Snuggly Duckling and put all our work into action. Thank you all again for your help. I couldn't have done it without you.

[Rapunzel]

Are you busy tomorrow, say, around lunchtime?
