Second Chances: the Network

I hate it here. I want to go home.

[OOC: any comments after the last one to Stiles will go unanswered by Sylvie]

[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.]

..This place looks like home, but it isn't. That's just weird in itself. The multiverse is weird. But Hi. I'm Conner Kent, got here yesterday.


[Kara Danvers]
So I guess I'm supposed to stay with you. Hi. I'm Conner.

[ooc: posted sometime after sundown today 6/29]

[CLARK KENT]

Hey, you. I wanted to check in. Are you doing alright?

I like strawberries as much as the next person, but there are just some things that absolutely should not be strawberry flavored. This especially includes bacon.

Oh, this is really something. Hi everyone, I'm Kara. Has this really been going on for years? I'm not even sure what Earth this is.

Somebody come and eat all this pie I have left over.

I regret every single carb loaded plate I baked and ate yesterday.

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!)

Today is one of the bestest best days ever!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CLARK!!!

Thank you for being one of the most awesome people here! I got you a present. Oh! And I wasn't sure how old you were so I bought 87 candles. That's enough, yeah?

It's literally raining flowers outside for some reason (yes, I know, this place does weird stuff, etc) and now everything's covered in a copious amount of pollen. So that's great.

I’m glad the other colors have come back, variety is the spice of life as they say.

[Aurelio]
How would you like to celebrate your birthday? Dinner with friends, or a party? I know being on board the ship may make it a little less fun than it could be in San Francisco, or at home. But we definitely need to do something.

[Command (Pike & Una)]
Is there a kitchen on board, or even just an oven or stove? My ward, Aurelio, is really good at baking and enjoys it too. I’ve noticed the replicators being given resentful looks.

[Jonathan]
Was everything okay with Damian last night?

[LOKI]

I know things have been a bit chaotic the last few days, but I wanted to check in and make sure you're doing alright? With [...] all of this. Being in outerspace and whatnot.

IT'S THE BEST DAY OF THE YEAR!

All ages welcome at Edge of Glory! Drink and food specials all night long and there's a full nacho bar because they're my effing favorite and I want them! ALSO WE'RE GONNA HAVE CAKE.

So I require everyone's presence but no one is required presents 😉

Sylvie, Loki, you don't get a choice, because I am required to feed you cake.

In honor of this most auspicious day, I insist each one of you acquire one of the high quality books being handed out today!

Hello!

Does anyone know where I can acquire a tiny baby?

The masks yesterday made me want king cake and so I was going to make king cake pan flaps but the Internet says I need the tiny baby first.

Also, who wants panflaps for dinner?

Thank goodness I don't actually need my glasses to see properly because this mask doesn't allow me to wear both, and it also doesn't want to come off.

At least I'm appropriately attired for any Mardi Gras festivities.

Having sought performance lessons for my young charge in recent weeks, it's struck me that I might like to try my hand at treading the boards in a local capacity.

While it shan't have any bearing on what's being produced in the community, what roles would you enjoy seeing me in? Something dramatic? Tragic? Comedic? I've always been a bit of a fan of what the Midgardians call "The Bard".

Oh, absolutely the fuck not. It's one thing for this place force people to do things against their will, it's another thing entirely to not have any idea who I am whilst doing it.

Hey, Sylvie? Your sleigh is beautiful, but I am not sure why I have it again. If I didn't know better, I'd say this thing has a mind of its own.

This is a very silly question, but has anyone seen a sleigh around? It’s for the Christmas parade and I had it parked by the coffee shop, but now it’s… not there? And I know sleighs can’t just up and move on their own. Do I need to call the police?
