Second Chances: the Network

Hello? They told me I can use this phone thing to talk to folks. They told me it's not magic, but glory, it's as good as, isn't it?

My name's Daine. I don't really know what else to say, I guess, except that me and Kitten really need to get back home as soon as we can. If we can. They said there's no way to do that.

Oh. I guess I ought to warn you all, especially the ones I'm living with, but Kitten can pick locks. I've told her time and time again it's rude, but she's just a baby and she can only mind her manners so much. So I'm sorry if she ends up where she ought not to be, but if she does just call for me and I'll come get her.

Backdated to yesterday

I haven't played Monopoly before so I'm not sure if it's usually cat themed, but I guess this is an excuse to now! Seems like a fun time. Anyone else in to play? Or get one of their own?

I've been thinking about things to do for our community after last month. The brunches are nice, but I keep having that line from RENT in my head, "The opposite of war isn't peace, it's creation." So, I'm thinking we should do a community art show in the building. I know a lot of folks here have creative talents (I'm not going to name names, but I may come find you later)

Bonus: I need to do an art show this semester, and I think it'd be great to host it in our building. Two birds, one stone.

So, if you want to submit something(s) for the art show, let me know. I'm thinking early to mid Decemeber? That's enough time to throw something together, right?

For fuck sake

Despite the insanity of last month, the clinic is still on schedule to open at the end of the month. Given what all we learned during....that, if any of our displaced residents need help sooner, we can take you. The plan is still no charge for the displaced.

Now if everyone will excuse me, I think being mind numbingly drunk for at least a few hours sound amazing.

But if you need anything, poke me anyway. You I'll sober up for. Everyone else can...what is it? Gtfo?

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?

[ filtered; Dads, Natasha, and Eugene ]

People are getting hurt. I can't leave if people are getting hurt.

I wish James was

I won't leave.

[FILTER: known hackers and associates]

I might be concerned over nothing, but I noticed a drop in dark web chat recently. Has anyone else seen that?

Looks like my best friend is gone.

Who needs suits repaired or projects done? Super or regular, whatever. Please give me anything and everything. By the way for the new here. I do that. I am a Master Tailor. Things need repair? Hello, hi. I can fix them.

Appointments are still remaining as is unless you obviously need to cancel, then let me know.

[ooc: obviously please assume this is before the werewolf thing, sometime in the afternoon/evening]

Fun fact about me? I actually really like old cars and most cars in general. But I've never driven before. There are Model T cars around town, and they'll drive you places. Took one to go get sushi for breakfast.

Yeah, you heard that right. I prefer sushi for breakfast.

[Barry and Caitlin]
I think we need a night out. Observatory night out that is.

Status update on the ridiculously expensive software is it's being linked to your other systems so they will all talk to each other properly and be able to relay information as needed. But it's gonna take a while to complete.

See, this is why you don't get close to people
Look at me, being mature and responsible and not opening Dark Dimensions, go team

I guess since word is getting around and, you know, it'd be nice to actually be the one to tell people, I should let everyone know.

I've been working on a project for the last few months. You can blame Captain Rogers, he decided I should be a productive member of society or something. November 1st, we're opening a medical center. It's sliding scale income based but plot twist, displaced are treated for free because why the hell not. At least as long as my funds are here but apparently I could be snatched up at any time so who the fuck knows.

Those of you with slightly more...unusual needs, you'll likely be seeing myself or Dr. Tam. We at least know you exist as whatever it is you are and we can work from there. But no one gets turned away (unless you're on a trying to kill us all rampage and then, I mean, jury's out to be fair).

No, it doesn't have a name yet. You all know I suck at that part. Good thing I don't have to order the sign for another week or two.

Hello! I'm newly arrived, and now awake and alert, so I thought I better introduce myself on here before you wondered who the random guy exploring the building was.

There are a few familiar names on the network, but with this being the multiverse and all you might not be the people I know and I might not be the Ray Palmer you know. Please say hi anyway, new friends are always welcome!

I see that there are some hero/vigilante types in this world and in this little part of the population, so another one won't be too much of an issue?

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. ]

Did someone manage to sneak into my bedroom and leave this little friend on my pillow?

Or was it the “magic” of this place?

Too soon? It is going to rot by Halloween, but I couldn't resist.

It's been a year since
Sometimes it still doesn't feel real
I took off my wedding ring today and

Sorry, neighbors in close proximity. Loud noise was an accident. Now looking for lamps on sale.

I’m just realising that all I post about are sports, cars and other superficial things, but I don’t care because she’s here.

I’m also well aware that owning a sports car in San Francisco is a pretty silly idea. But again, I don’t care, and will be sleeping in the parking garage tonight.

[Hope and Scott]
I owe you both, big time.

[Steve]
Want to go for a drive?

Have you seen the Pickleball signs around? I'd like to participate. Anyone want to join me? I hear it is a lot of fun.

[FILTER: Stephen Strange]

Happy birthday, Stephen. Drinks when things calm down?

I'm still disappointed by the lack of flying cars in this millennium.

There is a flying dog, I'll give you that.

Little Peter has been asking for a beach day so I think tomorrow's the day. If anyone wants to come, we're planning on packing up the sandcastle building supplies, Addie the Adventure Dog, and a picnic lunch and heading out to Crissy Field. I know we'd love to have friends along and it's supposed to be pretty nice weather for the day.

Pete's mostly hoping to see some whales but apparently windsurfers will do.
